"Trokka, you useless waste! You can't even handle such a trivial matter!"
Barty Crouch Jr muttered angrily under his breath, striding forward.
As he walked forward, the blond hair on his head gradually turned brown, his originally straight nose turned flat and round, his lips thickened slightly, and his slim body faintly started to swell.
Within seconds, Barty Crouch Jr canceled the Disillusionment Charm, transforming his appearance into that of a regular short and plump wizard.
This level of Human Body Transfiguration Technique he had mastered even before graduating from school, but he couldn't maintain it for long periods.
At that moment, the rescued pregnant woman saw the young man supporting her arm, eyes widening in surprise, muttering a string of words, of which Vid could barely understand one-
"Harry Potter."
Suddenly, there was a sound of wind behind him, the pregnant woman's expression turning fearful. Vid waved his Magic Wand and confidently and clearly recited the Spell: "Petrificus Totalus!"
The attacking Leprechaun instantly had its hands and feet bound together, its whole body rigid, plummeting straight from the sky.
Vid looked at the pregnant woman and said, "Come with me; I'll take you to a safe place!"
The woman, understanding English, nodded in gratitude, and Vid escorted her briskly in the direction opposite the chaos.
Barty Crouch Jr, witnessing this, instinctively licked his lips, becoming a bit more cautious in his heart.
Though Harry Potter didn't seem to possess much Magic Power, his quick reactions, decisive actions, even an attack from behind could be swiftly detected, showcasing combat skills surpassing most wizards.
This child is naturally not a match for me, but if I am careless, even a more potent wizard might fall into misfortune.
This is right… This is the opponent the master has identified…
Barty Crouch Jr's heart raced. He swiftly surveyed the surroundings, confirming there were no wizards needing his vigilance nearby, then trotted towards the two.
"Are you alright, Sofia?" Barty Crouch Jr shouted loudly, speaking in Russian.
Barty Crouch's father, Barty Crouch, could speak over two hundred languages, including Turkey language and even Troll language, so human languages universally widespread were naturally easy for him.
Being influenced by what he heard and saw, he mastered many languages before attending school. Just now, he vaguely heard a few words and understood the lady was saying:
"Oh my God, you are…you are Harry Potter! Thank you for saving me and my baby. Why did those Leprechauns go crazy? It was truly terrifying!"
At this time, hearing familiar language, Sofia looked over joyously but seemed puzzled seeing this unfamiliar wizard.
"You are…"
Barty Crouch Jr's Magic Wand slightly twitched.
Sofia's expression turned a bit dazed, then she joyfully said: "Dear, you finally returned! Did you find Natalia?"
Barty Crouch Jr approached, holding her hand, speaking in Russian, "Don't worry, we will find her."
Then, spotting Vid, he switched to English, expressing gratitude, "Thank you, kind child, it was you who saved my wife just now."
Barty Crouch Jr knew well, people often trust those who saved them more than those they saved.
Indeed, the boy in front of him blinked his green eyes and smiled, "Don't mention it. As long as everyone is alright, you two better hurry to the woods to hide!"
"Alright, hand her over to me."
Barty Crouch Jr said, taking over Sofia, naturally letting the pregnant woman block both sides' sight during the turn.
The cloak on the young man's body fluttered in the wind, like a hand secretly reaching out, then pressed down with a reverse grip.
A flash of fire traced across the sky, swiftly drilling beneath the hem of the cloak.
Barty Crouch Jr sidestepped, turned, and his Magic Wand darted out like a sharp sword—
Bright red light shot out instantly, hitting the boy wizard's chest, knocking him straight down, and swiftly caught him by the pouncing Barty Crouch Jr, both appearing as if a father was protecting his son.
Barty Crouch Jr released the pregnant woman affected by the Confundus Charm, once again inspecting surroundings, ensuring no one noticed them, then pulled out an old, palm-sized kettle from his pocket, pressing one end to the boy's hand.
"Portus!" Barty Crouch Jr murmured.
The kettle trembled, emanating a faint blue light, and the next second, the two vanished within the distorted air.
"Bang!"
The woman abruptly woke up, sitting on the ground clutching her stomach, looking around, confused, as a heart-shaped face, fair-skinned girl ran over.
"Mom, what happened?" the girl cried, alarmed.
"Natalia!" Sofia grabbed the girl's hand, saying anxiously, "I just… I seem… that British Savior just saved me, but he seems to be taken by bad guys."
"That Harry Potter?" The girl cast her Magic Wand, forming a circle of flame shield around them, and then asked, "What happened?"
Sofia's voice trembled, striving to speak clearly, "I was attacked by Leprechauns, that child saved me… then suddenly a wizard came running over, he used the Confundus Charm to make me believe that was your dad… when I came to, both were gone…"
"Don't worry, Mom," the girl said quickly, "I'll contact the British Ministry of Magic people…"
She flicked her Magic Wand, a silver-white snow leopard swiftly ran towards the distance, stepping on air.
…
"Bang!"
Two figures appeared in a dark and damp wooden cabin, moss grew thick in the corners, and torches were fastened on the walls, illuminating the coarse texture of the wood.
Barty Crouch Jr placed the unconscious young wizard on the ground, his fingers trembled excitedly, saying to a snake in the room, "Tell the master, I've brought Harry Potter!"
The snake hissed, slithering out through the window gap.
Before long, a massive snake slithered up the steps by the entrance, followed by the sound of footsteps from there.
Barty Crouch Jr looked toward the door, ready to flaunt his achievement to his master, but behind him, "stunned" Vid was already slowly opening his eyes, his expression exceptionally calm.
The cloak on him quietly fluttered upwards, silently spreading open.
As the wooden door opened, a man holding a baby had just half-exposed his body, and the giant snake, seeing the shadow of the cloak, suddenly opened its mouth and hissed, the cloak immediately enclosing Barty Crouch Jr!
It closed silently, the man's bones emitted subtle cracking sounds, in a moment the two sleeves like ropes tightly wound around Barty Crouch Jr's neck, swiftly tightening.
Barty Crouch Jr couldn't make any sound; his face turned red, hands fiercely tearing at the sleeves that felt like iron shackles, squeezing hoarse gasps from his throat.
The hem of the cloak darted out like a blade, in an instant penetrating both the man's thighs, blood trickling down his pants.
Vid didn't even bother getting up; he drew his Magic Wand aiming at the door, calmly and cruelly said, "Ignis Divinum Furor!"
Bright red light exploded!
