In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter

Chapter 509: Golden Cup

North Sea, Azkaban.

A dense blanket of ever-present fog constantly encircles this island.

This fog, which contained magical powers, prevented the Muggles, who had already explored the entire world, from discovering this island full of sins, and at the same time, it could also suppress the hope of all the prisoners on the prison island who wished to escape.

It was just that today, an uninvited guest, whose body was completely shrouded in grey robes, passed through the fog and went up to this prison that made every wizard in the magical world fearful to the core.

The surrounding area was filled with bare stone walls, and only in the middle of the island stood an ancient and dilapidated castle.

The grey-robed wizard avoided the Ministry of Magic's Aurors stationed on this prison island and easily made his way to the interior of the prison.

Dementors were floating around, but just as he entered the castle, his entire body instantly twisted itself physically and turned into a grey rat with one finger missing!

Dementors only suck the emotions out of humans, and are certainly not half as interested in animals, so the rat wandered around the prison like it was nothing, and soon he found the person he was trying to find.

It was in the deepest part of Azkaban, and usually only held those wizard criminals who were sentenced to permanent imprisonment.

And at this moment, inside the prison that the rat was snuck in, a cloaked woman was sitting.

The woman's clothes were ragged, and her face looked very haggard, but her mental state was not as withered and depressed as the other prisoners, instead, she always maintained a state of extraordinary exuberance and fervour!

The rat transformed into human form in front of the woman, and at the same time pulled down the hood of his grey robe, revealing a face with all his features squeezed together, living like a big fat rat.

Bella looked up and saw the face, and she couldn't help but show a burst of indignant insanity.

"Wormtail! How dare you come to see me!"

Peter couldn't help but physically shiver at the sight of Bella looking as crazy as she did before, he had spent the first ten years or so of his life hiding in the Weasley's house out of fear of these hardcore diehards of Voldemort.

Voldemort's disappearance and the complete defeat of the entire pureblood forces were directly related to the information he provided back then.

People like Bella wanted to skin him and tear him apart.

However, Peter had come here with a mission this time, and although he was scared, he still maintained his composure.

"It was our lord who told me to come."

Bella, who originally looked like every cell in her body was radiating rage, suddenly went still.

Her spirit was more on the side of insanity, but she was not a fool, Peter's so-called loyalty to Voldemort was more actually a kind of cowardice, of course, he had the possibility of being found by other people who would also make him feel cowardly and make him re-identify them as his lord, but he definitely would not have the guts to come to Azkaban to provoke her with this matter now.

Therefore, the only possibility that the one he spoke of as his lord was the one they had in common!

Bella violently grabbed the prison bars, frightening Peter who subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Every year, several newly imprisoned prisoners here are saying that the lord has returned! But in the end, all of them are eventually certified under the tortures of the Dementors that they are just spouting nonsense! How can you prove what you say, Wormtail!"

Peter didn't dare meet Bella's glaring, bloodshot eyes.

He faltered.

"Lord once asked you to keep one thing for him."

"My lord has trusted me with more than just one thing he felt comfortable handing over to me back in the past!"

"The gold, the Golden Cup."

The atmosphere suddenly went silent.

It was as if Bella had recalled something, and her gaze began to grow erratic.

It was a kind of excitement born out of near-desperate madness, a manifestation of a near-death heart gradually beginning to come alive again.

"How did you get into the Lestrange's family treasury!"

"I didn't get in, my lord found me through a goblin."

Bella let go of the prison bars, and smiled, her smile still as unnerving as ever, her voice becoming unmistakably subdued.

"What does our lord need us for?"

***

"This is Jon, Harry."

Early the next morning, Dumbledore had prepared a room for them to have breakfast alone, and Harry was naturally with Lily, who of course introduced them to each other when they met this time.

Harry had already learnt a little about Jon's exploits in the other world last night, so he didn't think of him as some ordinary boy anymore, if he were to go by normal age, Jon would actually be a few months older than Harry.

"Hello, can I just call you Jon?"

Jon looked at the quiet-looking Harry with his black glasses and for some reason, an image of him as an adult wearing smoky make-up and lap dancing in black leather trousers suddenly came to mind.

Hastily shaking his head to banish this segment of the horrific vision from his brain, Jon extended one of his own hands to shake Harry's in return.

"Sure thing, Harry."

Harry, of course, had no idea what Jon was thinking, he just said with a look of admiration.

"They all say I'm the hero who defeated the "You-Know-Who", but in fact, I've never even seen what the "You-Know-Who" really looks like, and you're the real hero!"

"In our place, everyone is a hero, just like the stars in the night sky, no stargazer focuses only on the brightest ones, right? Sometimes it's the stars that have faded out that are more memorable."

Jon said gently as he munched on his Hot dog.

Harry looked at him with even more passion.

Truth be told, the upbringing Harry had grown up in could be described as nothing short of exceptionally bad, right?

However, his character was not half as bad as he was brought up to be, nor did he inherit that part of his father's youthful wickedness; at best, he could be considered a bit naughty, and his personal outlook could not be more positive.

In fact, he had always been ashamed that he had such a reputation and was held in such high esteem, feeling that he had stolen his mother's effort without any qualification.

So when he learnt that in another world, someone his own age had actually managed to defeat Voldemort, and in such a difficult environment, it was only natural that a kind of admiration rose.

Lily, of course, could see this, but she didn't see anything wrong with it, not to mention Harry, if there was a need to choose an absolute leader to replace Dumbledore in the Order of the Phoenix, nine times out of ten the adult wizards would choose Jon.

After breakfast was over, Jon and the others didn't delay any longer, and in front of Dumbledore, Jon began to allot plans.

He and Lily would split up into two groups, one would be responsible for destroying the time-turner, and the other would be searching for the rest of the Horcruxes.
