Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 203 The Demonic Mirror Bewitches the Mind, A Near-Death Outbreak!

Little Barty never expected that Dali knew so much about the matter.

He now strongly suspects that Dumbledore has just used Legilimency to break through his Occlumency, glimpsed his complete memories, and told Dudley about them.

Dali's aggressive questioning was purely meant to annoy him.

Thinking of this, Little Barty's anger soared to the heavens.

More importantly, he felt he had betrayed Voldemort's trust, not only being captured by the enemy and nearly thwarting the Dark Lord's plans, but also allowing the enemy to discover all his secrets.

He's a complete and utter loser!

Barty Jr. allows himself to fail, but he will not allow himself to let Voldemort down!

He had suffered greatly, was severely injured, and was also cursed with an extremely powerful curse. Even if he managed to survive, he wouldn't live much longer.

Rather than continue to suffer humiliation at the hands of the enemy, it is better to use means to sacrifice oneself and end it all.

You might even be able to hurt the enemy in front of you!

"Oh no, he's about to cause some serious trouble!"

Dudley noticed something amiss in Barty's expression and immediately spoke up to remind Dumbledore.

At the same time, he waved the Smetine Cane he had been holding in his left hand, drawing a huge circle in front of him, and took out the Eris Mirror from his personal space, pointing it directly at Little Barty's eyes.

"Quickly, use Mind Control again to retrieve information about Nagini's hiding place!"

Dudley spoke rapidly to Dumbledore.

At this moment, Little Barty, who was originally about to unleash his magic to stage a self-destruction, was distracted by the Mirror of Eris and stopped the self-destruction process.

He saw what he longed for most in the Mirror of Erised.

The great Dark Lord has returned to his throne, and profound darkness once again shrouds the magical world.

And he, the Dark Lord's most capable subordinate, a unique being adopted as the Dark Lord's godson, sat beside the Dark Lord's throne, enjoying the Dark Lord's gentle caresses.

This scene is absolutely mesmerizing.

Little Barty has an extremely strong will. He knows that this is not real, but just an illusion, and that he can easily break free, but he is still extremely attached to it and cannot bear to break free.

I want to watch it a little longer, just a little longer...

Since his secret has been completely exposed by the enemy, it doesn't matter whether his willpower succumbs or not.

From the outside, Dumbledore and Dudley worked together very well.

After Barty Jr. fell into the illusion of the Mirror of Erised and lowered his guard, he seized the rare opportunity and once again used the Elder Wand to cast the spell, unleashing the full power of Legilimency on Barty Jr.

This time, Dumbledore encountered little resistance and easily extracted the information they wanted from Barty Jr.'s mind.

Among them, the information that Dali had previously deciphered using micro-expression analysis was entirely true.

At that time, after Moody and Lupin helped Barty escape from his home, they used tracking magic to catch up with him, intercepted him, and together they killed him.

While Barty Jr. is undoubtedly excellent and strong, he is still no match for Moody, especially with Lupin assisting him.

So after only a few rounds, Barty was at a disadvantage and was in grave danger.

However, at that moment, a giant green viper, twelve feet long, suddenly darted onto the battlefield. Its massive snout bit Lupin's lower back and injected a large amount of venom into his body.

Moody, who possesses all-seeing magic eyes, discovered the sudden situation at the same time. He tried to rescue Lupin, but Barty Jr. seized the opportunity and hit him with a powerful black magic spell.

The tide of battle turned in an instant, and victory quickly swung in favor of Barty Jr. and Nagini.

Moody and Lupin were poisoned by snake venom, failed, and were captured.

Barty the Younger found letters written by Dumbledore on the two men, and was also given commands and guidance by the fresh fragment of Voldemort's soul within Nagini.

Ultimately, a plan was devised to impersonate Mad-Eye Moody, infiltrate Hogwarts, and help Voldemort's main soul collect materials for resurrection and the treasures of immortality.

Because Moody's hair was needed to prepare a compound potion for disguise, Barty had no choice but to treat Moody and put him into his carry-on suitcase.

As for Lupin, Barty Jr. had considered killing him.

However, Moody and Lupin were acting together. If Lupin died, and he impersonated Moody, it would be difficult for him to explain to Dumbledore, which would be detrimental to the subsequent infiltration plan.

So Barty Jr. used the Oblivion Charm to alter Lupin's memories, but Nagini's venom still lurked in Lupin's body.

Furthermore, the Nagini venom within Lupin's body was magically modified by Barty the Younger.

Nagini's venom slowly takes effect in Lupin's body, making it extremely difficult to diagnose or detect.

When the poison takes effect, there will not be any obvious symptoms, only a slight feeling of weakness.

In this way, Lupin would die from the poison several months later, which would have nothing to do with Moody, played by Barty Jr.

After that, Barty and Nagini parted ways, with Barty carrying Lupin, whose memories had been altered, to write back to Dumbledore, and then went to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries to recover.

After recovering from his injuries, Barty Jr., posing as Moody, received a letter from Dumbledore and, together with the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic, went to Azkaban to capture a Dementor for research purposes before arriving at Hogwarts.

Then came Dudley, who tricked, ambushed, attacked, captured, and tortured...

"what--"

"Why? Why are you probing my brain at a time like this?! Don't you all already know?! Why! Why won't you even let me see this little illusion?!"

Just after Dumbledore nodded to Dudley, indicating that he had succeeded.

Barty, who was forced to exit the viewing state of the Mirror of Eris due to the mental shock, was filled with despair and resentment.

He actually controlled the magic power within his body and launched a self-destructive explosive attack on his throat and mouth, which were sealed by the magic spell.

The riotous magic shattered Dumbledore's 'Tongue-Sealing Throat' spell, leaving Barty's mouth and throat a bloody mess.

But Little Barty didn't care at all, and let out a shrill roar and question in his broken voice.

Seeing this, Dudley quickly used the Summoning Charm to put the Mirror of Eris back into his personal space.

At the same time, he closed his personal portal, flew into the air, and prepared to use the Killing Curse to end Barty's life.

As for Dumbledore, Dudley need not worry about his safety.

However, Barty Jr. did not want to die at Dudley's hands. He wanted to use his broken body and life to do his last bit of strength for his beloved Dark Lord!

At Hogwarts, Voldemort left his immortal mark!

"I will sacrifice my life to summon the eternal Dark Mark!!!"

Barty the Younger, facing the dazzling, straight green death ray cast by Dudley in the air, mustered his magic, broke free of his restraints, and recklessly self-destructed!

At the same time, through his own sacrifice, he unleashed a powerful marking spell that far exceeded the limits of his strength.

An extremely dense green light burst forth, soaring into the sky and enveloping the Hogwarts playground, transforming into an enormous Dark Mark that, upon closer inspection, seemed to blot out the sky.

It was clearly the design of the tattoos Voldemort had given to each Death Eater:

A giant green skull with clenched teeth spewing out a ferocious, enormous green serpent.

At the same time, a chilling, evil roar resounded:

"Hiss—"
