Chapter 197 Karkaroff (Updated)

For the remainder of those two lessons, Karkaroff lingered behind Snape's lectern. He seemed determined not to let Snape slip away after class.

Harry wanted to hear what Karkaroff had to say, so he deliberately knocked over the bottle of anteater bile when the bell rang in two minutes, so that when the other students were noisily heading towards the door As he walked away, he had an excuse to squat behind the crucible and wipe the floor with a rag.

Xie Lin also stayed in the classroom. He motioned for Daphne to follow the others and leave first. Then he walked to Harry and took out his wand, "Clean it!" The anteater bile on the ground disappeared without a trace in an instant, " Okay, Potter, get out of here!" Sherrin asked Harry to leave with him, his tone undeniable. Although Harry was somewhat reluctant, he had no choice but to leave as he lost his excuse to stay.

"Malfoy, what are you doing here?" Karkaroff asked after noticing the noise made by Sherrin and Harry.

"Professor Karkaroff, I think I am qualified to hear what you want to say to our dean, so I deliberately sent away Potter who wanted to eavesdrop on your conversation, and then stayed here." Schelling did not To put it politely, he is not afraid of Karkaroff at all. With his current reputation, power and strength, there may be some people and forces that can make him fearful, but they will never be Karkaroff.

Snape also spoke at this time, "Karkaroff, let him stay. He is right. He has the qualifications."

Karkaroff looked at Snape's gloomy but extremely serious face, then looked at Schelling, and suddenly seemed to understand something. He could only say: "If you insist, okay!"

"What is so urgent?" Snape asked Karkaroff in a low voice.

"Look." Karkaroff lifted up the left sleeve of his robe, revealing the mark of the dark devil on his arm. It was a figure of a skull spitting out a long snake. At this moment, there was faint magic fluctuation, "Did you see it? It's never been so obvious—"

Karkaroff's tone showed uneasiness and anxiety, "You should also know what this means, right?"

"The mysterious man is coming back from resurrection." Xie Lin said this suddenly.

Karkaroff's face suddenly turned pale. Although he had already made a guess in his mind, it still frightened him to have this guess spoken to his face. Karkaroff's strength is actually not weak, and he is also ranked high among many Death Eaters. Otherwise, how could he become the principal of one of the three major magic schools in Europe. However, his character is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is very weak, so he cannot face the fact that the mysterious man is about to return.

"How can you be so sure?" Karkaroff said with trembling lips.

"It's nothing difficult to guess," Xie Lin said eloquently. "When the Dark Mark appeared in the Quidditch World Cup, I had already started to let people pay close attention to the intelligence from all parties..."

"Among the many pieces of information, there are two things that particularly caught my attention," Schelling said: "The first thing is that in Little Hangleton, a small town in England, there was a man named Bryce. Melon is missing. This Muggle is responsible for guarding Riddle House..."

"A Muggle died? Riddle House? What does this have to do with that person?" Karkaroff asked impatiently.

The corners of Xie Lin's lips raised slightly, "Riddle... is that person's last name, and Riddle Mansion is his hometown!"

Karkaroff swallowed, "Then what? You said there were two things that caught your attention, so what was the second thing?"

Schelling knew that Karkaroff had believed his words and was convinced of his intelligence capabilities, so he continued: "The second thing happened in Albania. You should also know that there are rumors in many places that after the mysterious man lost power, In fact, he is not dead, but is hiding in the Albanian jungle to survive, hoping to wait for his loyal disciples to find him and help him make a comeback..."

"My intelligence told me that someone saw Peter Pettigrew, who was supposed to be dead, there, and one night he got in touch with Bertha Jorkins, a female employee of the British Ministry of Magic, and the two left After entering the hotel, he was never seen again, and Jorkins has been declared a missing person by the Ministry of Magic.”

"Based on the above two things, I think the most reasonable speculation is that Peter Pettigrew is actually a Death Eater, and he appeared in Albania because he wanted to help his old master resurrect. The missing Jorkins and the man named Bu Rice’s Muggles are probably part of the mysterious man’s plan to come back from the dead.”

Karkaroff was stunned after hearing this. These two missing people were both unknown people. What did the mysterious man want to kill them? Don't get me wrong, it's not surprising that the mysterious man kills people, but to say that killing them can help the mysterious man resurrect is a bit nonsense.

Schelling looked at Karkaroff's face, how could he not know what he was thinking, he sneered, "Are you doubting my words?"

Karkaroff glanced at Snape vaguely, and then said hesitantly: "I don't quite understand, how does that person's killing of these two people help his plan to return from the resurrection?"

"Hey," Schelling shook his head, "I said, your imagination is too poor. Who is Jorkins? She is an employee of the Ministry of Magic. Isn't it surprising that she knows some valuable information? At least I think, The information that the Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts this year is quite useful.”

"Ah!" Snape exclaimed, looking at Xie Lin with enlightenment, "You mean..."

"Wait a minute, what are you two talking about? Why can't I understand it?" Karkaroff looked at the two people playing riddles and was going crazy.

Xie Lin looked at Karkaroff with some contempt, as if he were looking at a stupid idiot, "We have talked about it to this point, and you still can't guess? How did you become the head of the first school? "Xie Lin saw Karkaroff's face turned livid, and he also knew the truth of giving up when he was ready, so he withdrew his taunt, "Let me ask you, if a person only has one remnant soul left, what's the point of resurrecting him? Method?"

Karkaroff murmured to himself: "Seize the body? That's not right, the body cannot last long, and the backlash will happen sooner or later... The magic stone? I heard it has been destroyed... Then, there is only the last possibility left. ..." He seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly became very solemn.

"You have also thought about it, right? It is a flesh and blood sacrifice ceremony. This ceremony requires the bones of the father, the flesh of the servant and the blood of the enemy." Xie Lin smiled and said lightly: "This is the man named Bryce. As for the cause of Gua's death, his father's bones have been obtained from the Riddle House, and the servant's flesh can be obtained from Peter Pettigrew, so the only thing left is——"

"Harry Potter!" Karkaroff suddenly understood the entire key and couldn't help but exclaimed, "What the mysterious man wants is his blood!"
