"You can't do this, Master Barty."

"I'm going to teach those guys a lesson."

"Please, Master Barty."

"Get out of the way, Winky - I'm going to teach those guys a lesson, those mean, dirty guys, they're disloyal, they've done nothing!"

"You can't do this, the master will be sad, young master..."

"Please, Master...Master has caused enough trouble for that bad guy named Bertha by making him stupid. If you are discovered..."

The house elf Sparkle sobbed and advised her master, trying to intercept him with her small body.

Like her master, she couldn't use the Imperius Curse to calm him down, or even make him comatose. The only thing she could do was to use magic to tie her to Master Barty, and then use words to

His physical limitations prevented him from getting into trouble with the marchers outside.

"I heard their voices, those traitors, those disloyal guys, they can obviously find the Dark Lord freely!"

Little Barty shook his head hard, trying to shake off the last effects of the Imperius Curse, but he failed.

Winky quickly grabbed him, used magic power to control him and left the tent, heading to a relatively safe bush area.

This is one of the few rights she has to take Barty to a safe area when he loses control of himself.

After settling Barty and making sure that no bugs or other things could bite him, Shining felt relieved and began to carefully check whether there were any loopholes along the way.

"Sky…"

She raised her head and saw a shiny Hogwarts logo floating in the air. She had heard many elves introduce this logo to her.

"Are the people from Hogwarts over there? Then, we have to stay away..."

She hesitated for a while, and finally made the decision to move with little Barty - Master Barty was not suitable to see anyone, the mark was a bit close to them, and she had to stay away from there.

However, just as she carefully moved little Barty, the bushes made a rustling sound.

"Who's over there?"

A young man's voice rang out, and Shining immediately noticed the other person - it was a young man about thirteen or fourteen years old, leaning against a tree with a leisurely look on his face.

It seemed like he was just watching the farce over there, but now he seemed to have noticed the problem here.

Twinkle hesitated and decided to see if she could get through it.

Master Barty has an invisibility cloak, as long as——

Before she could think clearly, Little Barty made a very obvious noise.

There was no need to think about disguise this time. The boy clutched the wand tightly and tried to...

Twinkle stretched out her finger, and a magic hit the blond boy directly, causing him to faint.

"Master Batty..."

She tried to say something, but little Barty quickly leaned over with a bit of joy.

"I recognized this kid from the box - that old Lucius's kid."

He kicked the fallen boy on the arm, the smile on his face twisted.

"I was squatting in Azkaban, and that guy was sitting outside - instead of looking for his master, he became the guest of that idiot minister of the Ministry of Magic."

He added another kick, and the look on his face became more ferocious.

"The old one is pretending to be a masked man outside, and the younger one is hiding here watching the show..."

"Master Barty, don't cause trouble to the master!"

Twinkle exclaimed - I don't know when, little Barty picked up the wand of the boy who fell to the ground!

However, Barty raised his wand without hesitation and cast a spell at the sky.

"The bones reappear!"

As soon as he cast the spell, he immediately threw the wand on the body of the unconscious child, then put on the invisibility cloak and shouted towards Winky, "Run!"

He knew very well that he could not escape under Twinkle's surveillance. Although she was loyal, she prioritized executing her father's orders.

Since he chose to teach that traitor a lesson, he had to drop the wand and walk away with Winky.

He remained loyal to the Dark Lord - although he didn't think he could escape his father's guard, nor did he think he could leave Winky alone.

The purpose of marking this mark is to teach the disloyal person a lesson, and to tell those guys that there are loyal servants of the Dark Lord watching them.

Without Winky's help, he would just be captured in Azkaban again, instead of being able to teach those guys a lesson like he is now.

Sure enough, Winky didn't even have time to blame him.

She hurriedly grabbed him and apparated away.

——

"hiss…"

People who hurried to the Hogwarts mark saw a horrific scene.

Screams came from their mouths involuntarily.

A rather terrifying mark appeared on the sky. It was a huge skeleton made of countless turquoise star-like things. In the mouth of the skeleton, a snake snaked out, like a snake that caused nausea.

tongue.

Those memories that had been sealed because of the long peace immediately emerged, along with the fears that had been hidden for many years.

The crowd that was still watching almost without any hesitation began to rush towards the shining Hogwarts mark in the distance.

Compared with now, the panic just now is nothing to mention.

Originally, they were even slightly grateful that they had escaped from such a chaotic scene, and planned to use it as a talking point, but now——

No one was stupid enough to think about the issue of talking. They felt as if something was stuck around their necks, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

A dozen years ago, a huge sign like this meant death...

And further away, many people choose to escape into the darker places of the night - if it is that kind of mark... the professors of Hogwarts can really...

They didn't dare think about it anymore, but their legs responded very appropriately.

——

"That's..."

William sat on the tree stump, and he kept alert and saw the sign flying into the air at a glance.

It took almost no effort for him to recognize the huge logo.

Among the information about the Dark Lord and Death Eaters, the Dark Mark that marks death is quite famous.

'Who? Could it be the Dark Lord?'

Such an idea immediately came to his mind, but was quickly rejected by himself.

He remembers Fudge's camp very clearly. If the Dark Mark rises there, there is a high probability that the Dark Lord has really resurrected and taken action, but from far away - it should be used by Death Eaters.

In the presence of Fudge, the deaths of other wizards are not worthy of a Dark Mark. According to the known information, the Dark Lord himself is so proud of himself that it would be too shameful to kill an ordinary wizard instead of the Minister of Magic after his comeback.

It's not logical anymore.

I have never heard of a world champion coming back from retirement to prove himself by competing in provincial competitions. That would be too funny.

Even if they were placed in the first grade again, only he and Lupine, the two self-defense professors, would be worthy of being resurrected as the Dark Lord. After all, there were rumors that the Dark Lord did not like this class.

Therefore, there was a high probability that his mark was displayed, and the masked guys on the opposite side chose to show the Dark Devil's mark in order not to be overwhelmed.

But this is not certain - getting the Dark Mark is equivalent to directly marking your location.

Originally, their best cover was the frightened people who were so panicked that they couldn't tell where the disruptive team was. Once the mark was posted, didn't they just leave the teleportation coordinates for the Aurors?

'You shouldn't be so stupid, right?'

William even had the urge to apparate over and take a look - but unfortunately, there were too many people on his side who needed to be appeased, and he had to calm people down first.

"There's a high probability that it's the masked ones, but I don't rule out the worse possibility."

"All parents please take your children with you immediately and keep them awake."

"The existing defense system can last for more than ten minutes. If something goes wrong, I will leave you with more than five minutes to escape after disapparating."

"If you are not satisfied with the defensive measures, you can bring your family and torches and leave in a direction away from the signs."

William was very anxious, and the loud voice suppressed everyone's attempts to mutter.

"Those who leave can take a piece of food with them, but those who make noises directly cancel the supplies and are expelled from the camp."

"Okay, everyone can make their own choices."

He canceled the voice casting that he blessed and left the choice to parents who hesitated when they saw the mark.

Arrogant orders are definitely useless, just let those who try to leave leave.

He would definitely not run away anyway - since Lupine was asked to punch out the school badge, he would definitely stand here. What does it mean to be scared away by a mark?

He was going to kill the guy who cast the curse in the future, so what else could he do if he was even afraid of being marked like this?
