Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Wait for him to be rescued, and see how I laugh at that clever fool!" Steve yelled, struggling, and the empty wine bottle brushed Draco's head, making his head sweat and softening. Almost hit Gadewen, who was explaining things to his subordinates on the other side.

Draco noticed that the people around him turned their attention to Steve one by one, just wanting to get up and pretend that he happened to be passing by.Marguerite even covered her mouth and started to tremble, obviously laughing at him.

"This damn drunk maniac!" Draco cursed.He vowed that he would never sit at the same table with Steve again, especially after this guy had a drink.

*********

"What are you looking at me doing, Dlex, do you want to eat my fist again?" Steve yelled at his former colleague who had been tied up and thrown aside, enduring a hangover headache.Being drunk made his expression look more grim, and his temper became more grumpy.

He kicked Dawlish angrily, ignored the other's hateful eyes, and strode to the prison wagon."Split." When a hole of sufficient size was opened, the prisoners rushed out of it. He grabbed the last bald wizard who ran out and pointed at Ian who was lying in the prison cart.

"Go, move with me."

The bald wizard was scared, but he didn't dare to refuse in front of the savior."Leave now, he may be dead!" said the wizard eagerly, "even if we still have a breath, we shouldn't waste time in this—"

"Then shouldn't I save you?" Steve stared at him, "If you talk about waste, saving you selfish ghost is called waste." The wizard broke his shoulder and walked back to the prison wagon with Steve helplessly. .

They carefully lifted the unconscious Ian to a level ground. Ian’s injuries were serious. The area visible to the naked eye was covered with blood and bruises caused by magic. Steve used to laugh at Ian’s appearance. Said that he was a little white face that was not suitable for his age, not to mention his beard, his face didn't even have scars.But when he really saw that his friend’s face was full of "warrior's merits", dried blood sticking to the skin, making this face look even more miserable and embarrassing, he just wanted to take everybody who caused it all. A bone was broken.

He no longer cared about the bald wizard who stood tremblingly on the side, and began to use very unskilled methods to help Ian treat the wound.To become a professional Auror, wizards need to master many aspects of knowledge, all of which are to increase the probability of surviving in the fierce battle with dark wizards, but Aurors have different professional preferences. History Tiff is very bad at healing spells.

But his spell still worked, and after a while, Ian's eyelids quivered, and then slowly opened his eyes.He rolled his eyes in a daze, and quickly noticed Steve who was healing him intently.

"Are you coming to see my joke, Steve." Ian's voice was vain, intermittent as if it would stop at any moment.

"You're right." Steve gritted his teeth. "I just want to see your fool's crying face after being abandoned by the ministry. You shut up and don't affect my good mood now."

"I finally understand one thing... how dangerous it is to work with the devil..." Ian coughed.

"Didn't I tell you to stop talking!" Steve smacked. "It's not too late to understand. You still have a chance to avenge those guys. If you are willing to stay and fight with me. If you want to escape, we I'll find a chance to transfer you, right, how about Mia and the others?" Steve thought of Ian's wife and daughter. If Ian is imprisoned as a criminal, it's hard to say whether the Ministry of Magic will also attack his family.

"...I, I, hu, and sent them abroad." Ian closed his eyes and said weakly, his condition looked worse and his breathing became heavy.At this time, the Auror who was in charge of the reconnaissance sent intelligence, and a team riding a broom appeared at the end of the sky. It was probably the enemy who came after detecting something was wrong.Even if the enemy cannot determine the exact location, they must leave. The rescued prisoners do not have a magic wand in their hands, and the Aurors have to take their entourage and leave here.

"He can't go too far!" Steve yelled to his friends. He looked worriedly at the wound on Ian's body. "We have to find a safe place to treat him!"

The Aurors had begun to apparate, and the prisoners grabbed their arms, spinning and disappearing from where they were.There is not much time left for them to choose. It is the best choice to leave the seriously injured who are in the way and who may die at any time.

Margaret looked at Sirius, he sighed and nodded to her.

"Let's go, take him to Sirius's house." Margaret took Ian's arm and carefully framed him.

Chapter 30 The Betrayer (Part 2)

Little Batty waved his magic wand, and the ropes that tied the Aurors' hands and feet lost their effectiveness and slid softly to the ground.Dawlish moved his wrists and stood up, still staggering. Seeing Batty approaching him, the fear of escort failure surged into his heart. He was afraid that Batty would choose to take his own knife after he got rid of Ian and waited for him to approach. Shi bowed his head respectfully.

"They have apparated, sir." Dawlish said cautiously, "but Ian is seriously injured and they can only find a place to put him."

Little Batty ignored him."Another carefully planned plan." He said interestingly. "In less than twenty minutes, the attack can be completed and a safe evacuation is guaranteed. Our escort route is still exposed."

No one on the scene dared to take this, because the other meaning of the information leak is that Barty Crouch Jr. made a misjudgment and mistakenly identified Ian as the joint person between Gadevon and the Order of the Phoenix. Now the facts are in front of us. , It was embarrassing.

"Next time we will be able to successfully stop--" Delish said, wanting to enliven the atmosphere.

"There is no next time, Dawlish." But when Barty Jr. said so, he took out a shriveled football from his arms. "The opportunity is fleeting, you can only create it yourself."

"Door key?" Dawlish has worked in the Ministry of Magic for several years. He naturally knows what Batty is holding, but he doesn't understand the purpose of Batty's presenting it. The door key can go almost anywhere, provided that You have the coordinates of a destination, which connects points to points, leading the wizard across space.

"How do you think you can conquer the castle effortlessly, Dawlish?" Barty asked the Aurors to stand by his side, "and it's the case that magic cannot be used."

Dawlish shook his head, for fear of touching the scales of his moody boss.

"I just need to find someone who can open the door for me from inside the castle."

*******

"Let’s talk about a deal, Ian." After being thrown on the wall of the waiting room, Ian’s expected torture did not come. He opened his eyes and found that Little Batty had just changed a chair and sat on himself. On top.

"Deal?" Ian raised his arms mockingly and showed him the sturdy handcuffs and chains that bound him. Barty's unrelenting emotion made this man who is always observant also forget his restraint, "take my wand away. , Trampling on my honor, even freedom becomes a luxury, you still want to negotiate a deal with me?"

"Of course you can refuse." Little Batty's tone was unexpectedly cordial. "Anyway, you have nothing to lose, right?"

"Then I refuse—"

"I remember that today is Halloween. You told Mia that you will go home for dinner, and you will help Doria bring the book she wants as a Halloween gift, right? Although I have never been married, I don’t have a wife to cook for me. , But I still remember the scene of my mother cooking before her death. Every Halloween she prepares a very generous menu, the table is full of my father and my favorite things, even if that guy will almost never come back to spend Halloween with us." Little Batty recalled that both smiles and hatred were fleeting, "Many years ago, I lost her forever, just as you are about to lose them forever. This is really painful."

"Wha, lost..." Ian was speechless. He looked at Barty's calm eyes, and a possibility that made him creepy loomed out, "Damn! You bastard dare to take action against my family?! "He just wanted to rush towards Batty, the other party only gently chanted a heartbreaking spell to him, the shadow on the wall of the waiting room twisted in pain, and the screams went straight outside.

"It depends on your performance, Ian. You can let go of their hands, or you can pull them up from the edge of the cliff." Little Batty put down his wand and looked at Ian who was panting. "Now we Can you continue the topic just now?"

"You, hoo, I will kill you..." Ian shrank in the corner, taking his heart with hatred and fear.

"You were never the only one who wanted me to die, but now I still sit here." Little Batty said, "I need you to cooperate with my actions tomorrow. Those people will definitely come to save you tomorrow, I want You help me fight back."

"Tomorrow! Rescue! So you already knew I was not in the sales department!" Ian gritted his teeth.

"Yes, I know you are not, although you were indeed on my suspicion list."

"Why me!" Unable to accept this result, Ian hit the wall with a punch and didn't mind if he bleeds.

"The reason I told you is because you are a smart person. This can be seen from the fact that you still choose to work for the Ministry of Magic instead of taking a short-term courage; your interpersonal relationship is also very important. Steve chose to betray, he would be willing Speak for you and let them lay down their guard; the most important thing is that I can easily control your weaknesses, which will make you weak and easy to compromise."

Little Barty was very interested, and actually answered Ian's questions one by one.

"You should find the real prisoner!" Ian roared.

"I will, but the opportunity is just in front of me, and I will make good use of it." Barty said, "The existence of that traitor is really bad, because that guy's existence, the Muggles who should go to jail Almost all of them have been successfully robbed, and if they can’t be found for a day, the loss will continue to increase.” And since the other party can get the complete message and pass it unobtrusively, or it means that the other party has the information that can be viewed If a betrayer appears among the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, the loss is far more than the few Muggle-born wizards who escaped; either it means that the person is in it, is the executor or one of the judges, but In this way, there will be the possibility of more than one betrayer, and the degree of complexity and trouble will be multiplied.

Little Barty will naturally not talk to Ian so much. Without knowing whether others are credible, he is naturally the only one who can be trusted. Everyone else only thinks that he has caught a proud man who sold his information to the Order Luo, the true traitor would think so too (if the other party knew it), and would not see through his true intentions.

Since there will be no one to send out the intelligence for a while, why not take advantage of this and break through the side of the mission?As long as the stable chain can be broken, the surprise attack can be prevented. It doesn't matter whether one side of the chain is broken or the other.

"Your task is very simple. Just confirm the goal and let us be there."

"They won't take me away, especially Steve. To them I am a traitor!"

"Then you try to arouse their sympathy, Ian, to please your old friends. Failure is just a loss of opportunity for me, and for you and your family, the end will not be so good. "Little Batty said, "But as long as you complete the task, I assure you that your family will be treated very well, at least they will never have to worry about being imprisoned in Azkaban for the rest of their lives. And you can get it too. Whatever you want, whether it is status, Kanon, or stability, the Ministry of Magic will no longer interfere with your life."

"To be honest, I don't want to take you away from your family. As long as you cooperate with us, you can still see the happy smiles of your wife and children. You are a'husband' and a'father'. You know your responsibilities. , Isn't it?" Little Batty's voice sounded like a demon whispering, and Ian finally agreed.When he nodded, he felt that the weight of his skull was about to break his spine.

"Very good." Little Batty smiled. He then got up, took out his wand and pointed at Ian, "Are you ready? You can't get hurt, I'll take care to let you retain the most basic mobility."

********

Steve was taken aback by the roar in the room, he rushed into the room and found his friend rolling off the bed.The beads of sweat on his forehead gleamed, whether it was because of a nightmare or because of hitting a wound.Ian twitched and curled up, his consciousness still a little unclear.

"Calm down!" Steve yelled, stepping forward to help him carefully, "Sleep well, you will be well, we will cure you, everything is over."

"Where am I..." Ian felt his throat very dry and astringent.
