HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 191 Disrupting the plan

After Harry finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Gloria.

"I knew the last competition was in a maze, so I made a portkey with tracking effects. Harry wore the primer, so if he was beyond a certain distance, I could use the key in my hand to reach him. There was a certain error, but the distance was not far. After I dealt with Moody, I landed not far from the old house near the cemetery. I heard the noise coming from the cemetery and found Harry, as well as Voldemort and the others."

After hearing what Gloria said, Dumbledore curiously asked: "A portkey with tracking effect?"

Gloria nodded slowly. "It's made of a special ore. It's like a magnet, but its function is many times more powerful than a magnet."

She then talked about the confrontation in the graveyard, and the minutes of fighting, and how Harry helped her after she was exhausted.

After she finished speaking, she said, "I listened to what Harry said about the servants' meat. That Van der Vries looked very strange. He was not loyal to Voldemort. When the other Death Eaters were about to take action, he did not do anything until we left. We need to investigate it thoroughly."

Dumbledore might have thought of something, and nodded, saying, "We understand. This information is very useful. Madam Pomfrey will give you a potion to drink later. You will sleep well after drinking it. I have something to do, so I will leave first."

Sirius pressed their shoulders and said, "Have a good rest. I'll stay with you."

After that, he said to Draco: "Go back early."

Soon Madam Pomfrey came out with two cups. "It's been a busy night. Drink these quickly."

Harry sat directly on the edge of the bed, tilted his head back and took a few sips.

Draco said, "Madam Pomfrey, I will help her back to her room and drink the potion."

Madam Pomfrey agreed immediately, "Okay, once she has taken the medicine you must hurry back to the dormitory. I will come to check on her later." She then said to Sirius, "Don't disturb them if you stay here."

"Of course." Sirius replied quickly.

The boy helped Gloria back to her room as instructed.

"Draco, remember to write home tonight and tell Lucius and Narcissa to be careful when traveling in the near future. Have the elf deliver the envelope."

Ever since Voldemort's return, the entire Malfoy Manor has been cast under the Fidelius Charm, and she is the secret keeper.

"I'll write it when I get back." Draco held her hand tightly, "Lori... I'm worried about you."

Gloria leaned gently in his arms, "Don't be afraid, Golinia and the others are always by my side, nothing will happen. Besides, I have the key to the manor, even if the situation gets to the worst, I can get away."

There was no need to say anything more. The two of them hugged each other quietly for a while before Draco quickly let her go and let her drink the medicine. "Have a good sleep. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."

Gloria drank the potion in one breath and immediately felt drowsy. Draco's face in front of her gradually became blurred and his voice quickly faded away. She no longer supported herself and let herself fall asleep.

·

Gloria felt like she had been unconscious for a long time. Just as she regained some consciousness, she felt a rough big hand touching her head. Her right hand was held. When she opened her eyes, she saw Sirius, who looked haggard.

Surprise burst out in his eyes, "You're awake!"

Before he could say a word, Sirius ran out of the room and called for Madam Pomfrey.

It felt like all the bones in my body were reorganized, but my magic power recovered well.

"Lori!" Draco held her hand and leaned over to kiss her forehead. "You scared us. You didn't wake up all day yesterday."

Gloria didn't feel that way at all, "Really? What day is it today?"

"Number 26!" Sirius answered first, and appeared in a hurry with Madam Pomfrey.

There was a competition on the night of the 24th, and she didn't wake up until the 25th.

"Well, she won't run away here." Madam Pomfrey has been annoyed these past two days. "I checked her thirty times yesterday and it's not enough. You are too impulsive. At this age, you are still in the period of increasing your magic power. You can't overuse magic like before!"

Gloria nodded obediently and allowed her to check.

When I saw Voldemort for the first time that night and heard him mention my father, I couldn't suppress the anger in my heart. It was impossible not to fight in that situation.

"You're recovering well." Madam Pomfrey said with relief. "Fortunately, you're still young and recovering quickly. It's best not to use magic for the next month. Just rest well. It's a good time to take a vacation."

"No problem, I'll keep a good eye on her." Sirius agreed immediately.

Draco asked, "Anything else I should be aware of?"

Madam Pomfrey waved her hand, "Mainly just rest. You can also take some nourishing potions."

Poor Madam Pomfrey was finally able to attend to the task at hand.

After making sure that she was fine, Sirius rubbed her head vigorously and said, "My Leah is so powerful. She can defeat Voldemort."

Gloria turned her face away, "I didn't defeat him, I just managed to get away with it after fighting him."

"Except for Dumbledore, you are the first wizard I have heard of who can fight him for so long. Such a young wizard -" Sirius was very pleased, "This is a great adventure, but don't do it next time."

No one expected that Gloria would take the initiative to fight Voldemort and escape unscathed.

Gloria let out a long sigh of relief. "I don't think we'll have a chance to fight in the short term. Barty Jr. has been captured. With his testimony, the Ministry of Magic will definitely issue a wanted warrant. Also, during the battle, I clearly felt that the power of his spells had weakened. It seems that even if he has recovered his physical body, his strength has not been fully restored."

Hearing this, Draco's grip on her hand suddenly tightened, causing her to look over.

"What's wrong?" She had a bad feeling and looked at Sirius again, whose expression had changed.

"Lori..." Draco hesitated before saying, "Little Barty is unconscious."

Gloria sat up suddenly, but was pushed back by Sirius. "On the night when you and Harry were resting, little Barty had his soul sucked away by the Dementors brought by Fudge."

"what?!"

Gloria couldn't believe it. She thought Fudge would doubt Bartlett's testimony and even lock him up to refuse interrogation with truth serum, but he simply crippled him. Without a soul, Bartlett was now just a living corpse.

Knowing that he was cowardly and timid, he ended up using all his courage to evade responsibility.

"I obviously..."

Gloria made a lot of plans, using Barty Jr. as a tug-of-war to make the Ministry of Magic clearly realize Fudge's incompetence, and took the opportunity to push her own people to occupy high positions.

Now all plans have been disrupted.

"He knew Barty Jr. had been captured, so he insisted on bringing Dementors as bodyguards." Sirius told her about what happened that night. "But when we got to the office, there was no interrogation at all. The Dementors pounced directly on him..."

"Lori, he insisted that little Barty deserved this end as a dangerous fugitive, and rejected the fact that Voldemort had returned." Draco had learned some of the situation from his father.

Sirius sighed, "No matter how I explained, Fudge refused to believe it. He was determined to conceal the truth."

The only witness captured was useless.

Gloria said solemnly, "Fudge will not just refuse the truth. He will definitely cause trouble for Headmaster Dumbledore and even Hogwarts."
