A day at Hogwarts

While Charles was chatting with the centaur elder, two figures wearing black robes and hoods covering their faces appeared next to the Acromantula that had been dismantled by the working elves.

They took their wands to study the corpse of the Acromantula, and after a long time they got the result.

Lucius Malfoy said in a deep voice: "It's the killing curse."

The person next to him said in an emotionless tone: "A second-year student can use the killing curse? It's really unheard of."

"Crouch," Lucius turned his head, "He is a wizard valued by the master. It is normal for him to be smarter than you."

Barty Crouch Jr. just gave him a cold look and said nothing. Instead, he suddenly turned around and pointed his wand at an Acromantula corpse not far away.

A man suddenly appeared next to the corpse. He was short in stature, with small eyes, and his hair was sparse and slightly gray.

"Oh, look who's here!" Lucius pretended to be reunited with an acquaintance after a long absence. "Mr. Peter is a first-class medalist in the Order of Merlin. Do you want to shake my hand?"

He spoke enthusiastically, but his expression was full of disdain.

Little Barty said expressionlessly: "Very good, I wasn't eaten by an owl on the way."

Naturally, Peter would not think that they were familiar with him, and just wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule them, but he could not afford to offend these two people, so he could only huddle behind the corpse of an Acromantula.

Little Barty: "There's not much time..."

Lucius: "Now in the castle..."

The two of them spoke at the same time, as if they were the leader of today's meeting and the person next to them was just their follower.

Little Barty looked down upon Lucius for not going to Azkaban for his master, which showed that he was not loyal enough. He decided that he had suffered for his master, so he had the highest status.

Lucius felt that he was pretending. He still remembered how he begged for mercy during the trial, but was still kicked into Azkaban by his father, and finally escaped by killing his own mother.

Now that the Dark Lord found himself first when he came back, it meant that in his mind, he ranked first, his wife ranked second, and Barty Jr. behind.

There was no room for compromise on matters of principle. The two of them stared at each other coldly, as if they would take action if they disagreed.

Seeing that there was not much time left for him, Peter had to go back before the end of the Quidditch game. He took courage, looked down at the ground and said timidly: "Dumbledore has set a new spell in the castle. Call him If you shout for help, he will arrive."

"Harry Potter is the same as usual. Charles Smith stays out late almost every night before returning to the dormitory, not knowing what to do."

"Not long ago, a new monster appeared in the castle. It was a big jellyfish...ah!"

Little Barty gave Peter a Cruciatus Curse and said angrily: "Don't try to make up lies to deceive your master!"

There are jellyfish in the castle, and they are very big. Why didn't you say that Peeves found a girlfriend? Is this how the great master fooled you?

Little Barty was getting angrier and angrier as he thought about it. Peter got up from the ground and was hit with the Cruciatus Curse for the second time just as he was halfway up.

Peter curled up and lay on the cold ground, gasping for air. As soon as he regained his breath, he shouted: "What I said is true. Many people in the girls' bathroom saw it. It was a very big jellyfish. It has very long tentacles!”

Little Barty just looked at him coldly and said nothing.

Lucius also heard about this, but was too lazy to speak for Peter.

Peter waited for a while to meet the two of them and continued to tremble without saying anything else: "Hogwarts students will go to the Forbidden Forest and mountains in the north for outdoor teaching next week..."

He finished by saying, "That old notebook is now in the possession of Percy Weasley."

Lucius asked him: "Has Dumbledore seen the notebook?"

Peter shook his head, meaning he didn't know. He didn't follow Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore's offices, and neither the Weasleys nor anyone else mentioned it.

Lucius felt that what he was trying to say was that Dumbledore had not seen it.

After Peter's report, he returned to the castle and continued to be a pet.

Little Barty looked at the direction he left and didn't speak for a long time.

Malfoy took the first step and rushed back to report.

In a dark room somewhere in England, Voldemort sat at the end of a long table, expressionless as he listened to Lucius reporting the intelligence from Peter.

Voldemort now looks like a human being. If you look closely, you will find a layer of fine scales on his skin.

After the joint work report was completed, Voldemort did not respond at all. Lucius breathed a sigh of relief. If he was not scolded or beaten, it meant that the work was fine.

Little Barty arrived belatedly. He bowed to Voldemort and said, "Master, I have thought of a way for the companions of Azkaban to escape from prison."

After he finished speaking, he glanced sideways at Lucius, which meant that the matter was confidential and everyone else was avoiding it.

Lucius seemed not to see him and just looked at Voldemort.

Voldemort croaked, "Malfoy can be trusted."

When he opens his mouth, you can see that the top of his tongue is bifurcated.

Seeing what the leader said, little Barty continued: "We can tell Black that Peter is at Hogwarts, right next to Harry Potter."

"He will definitely break out of prison when he finds out, and the dementors will leave Azkaban to arrest him, and we will have a chance."

Voldemort asked him: "Reason?"

Barty Jr. replied: "Black was next door to me in Azkaban. At first I could hear him still cursing Peter in the most vicious words in his sleep."

Everyone thought it was Black who betrayed the Potter family, and Peter was killed seeking revenge on him.

But in the eyes of senior Death Eaters and wizards from established families, Black didn't look like an undercover agent. His behavior since he was a child seemed like the opposite, and he had never seen anyone in meetings.

On the contrary, it was Peter, with his sinister look, he looked like a character who would give in after a beating.

Moreover, he has been hiding as a mouse for so many years. Dumbledore would not treat his subordinates so harshly, which only shows that he is afraid of and avoiding something.

Little Barty used to only have suspicions, but now he has confirmed that he is indeed his undercover agent on the other side, and his actions over the past ten years make sense.

Voldemort is most short of manpower right now, and the Death Eaters in the Azkaban Hotel are undoubtedly loyal and useful. They all responded to the last call through the Dark Mark.

But Azkaban was heavily guarded, and Voldemort knew that he was just a scary skin now, and breaking the prison at this time was like delivering food to his door.

Since Barty Jr. has a way to get the Dementors out of Azkaban, let him handle it.

Lucius looked on very depressed, and he was also secretly working on the prison robbery, but it was started from the Ministry of Magic, and the progress was very slow. He originally thought that when it was almost done, he would report it to the leader as a surprise, but he didn't expect to be overtaken.
