Chapter 418 Negotiation (modified, sincere thanks to alliance leader Wei Yu)
Karkaroff looked up at Alan in shock and frowned: "Mr. Alan Harris, it's not polite to block other people's way."
Allen lowered his eyes and glanced at Karkaroff's hand, and said with a smile: "The mark must be hot, and the color must be getting darker, and I feel panicked, and want to run away."
Karkaroff looked confused and stared at Allen fiercely.
"Sir, such an unfriendly attitude is not wise. If I were you, I would not run away. With this kind of sensory imprint, I can catch your traces even in the ends of the world." Allen's tone sounded Very sincere, but if you look into his eyes, you will find that they are full of teasing.
Allen gently rolled up his sleeves, revealing the perception mark of the Harris family: "Our Harris family is also proficient in the magic of this perception mark. We are too aware of the power of this mark. It is useless wherever you run away. of."
Karkaroff turned pale instantly, and his upper and lower teeth chattered from time to time, making crisp sounds. He could see that Allen was not lying. He lowered his arms slumpedly, took a few steps back, and bumped into the column behind him in panic.
His mind was filled with the situation of being caught by the person whose name cannot be mentioned: he was kneeling on the ground, that person was high up, the wand was pointed at him, or there were painful wails and rolling on the ground; or there was a green light Flash past and lose your life.
The more he thought about it, the more desperate he became. His whole body was shaking and twitching. He gritted his teeth to prevent himself from screaming, unable to control himself, as if he were rolling on the ground, trying to tear something apart or bite someone.
A bottle of attractive wine suddenly appeared in front of Karkaroff. He grabbed the bottle, drank greedily at the mouth of the bottle, and didn't put it down until he was out of breath. The wine in the bottle was three-thirds full. one.
His stomach soon burned, and the burning spread to his limbs, numbing his mind and giving him some courage. He looked up at Allen who handed him the drink: "What is your purpose?"
Allen did not answer him directly. Instead, he analyzed it from Karkaroff's perspective: "As long as you are the principal of Durmstrang, your life will not be easily ended."
"It's useless, you don't know his terror." Karkaroff shook his head in frustration and muttered.
"It's just that, of course it's useless." Allen suddenly changed the subject, "In this year's World Cup, you should have seen the strength of the young Aurors from the British Ministry of Magic. I think you have also seen it in the newspapers. Related news, it was created by my eldest brother Albert Harris. However, what everyone doesn’t know is..."
Allen pretended to pause, "Although my second brother Len Harris is usually low-key and not famous for fighting, he is actually not much weaker than my eldest brother. At Hogwarts, you don't have to worry about safety for the time being. In fact, according to According to the Harris family's information, Voldemort has not yet been fully resurrected. When this semester is about to end, you can use the name of Principal Durmstrang to invite the British Ministry of Magic to communicate, and the Harris family will use our The forces of the Ministry of Magic asked my second brother, Len Harris, to lead the team. I think you have also observed the recent reforms of the Ministry of Magic from Barty Crouch. When high-ranking officials travel, they are forced to bring several Aurors as escorts. , and as a member of the Harris family, I think that although it should not be excessive, it is not difficult to send a few more Aurors to follow."
"Of course they will not be Voldemort's opponents, but I think you should have enough understanding of what my Animagus can do. They just need to delay it a little..." As he said, Allen used The wand tapped his omniscient mark, "I can receive information through it. I have shown you a small part of my strength in the competition. In addition, I think Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard, also I will be happy to join forces with the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic to deal with that terrorist."
Karkaroff kept turning the wine bottle in his hand, constantly speculating in his mind on the authenticity and reliability of Allen's words. The power of the Harris family revealed to the outside world is probably just the tip of the iceberg. What is their purpose in doing so?
"So, what do you want from Principal Durmstrang?" Karkaroff used his sweet social tone again.
Seeing that he finally got to the point, Allen decided to reveal some half-truths and half-false information to give Karkaroff a little confidence, and this could also be regarded as a deterrent: "The power of the Harris family plus our power in the Ministry of Magic Power is guaranteed to protect you from anyone. Other than that, you can't find anyone more powerful than us. In a short time, you won't be able to join an organization with more power and capabilities."
Alan held the pearl of wisdom in hand, and looked at Karkaroff's expression becoming more and more relaxed: "I think Durmstrang will have to vacate several positions next year. Our Harris family is the heir to Gellert Grindelwald's power. A hundred years ago, your predecessor fired that lord for his experiments. I probably wouldn’t have thought that a few generations later, as his successor, you would invite his successor back in this way.”
Karkaroff took a few steps back in horror and hit the wall, causing his hat to fall to the ground again. The instant coldness on his head made him clear his mind.
He immediately connected the Harris family in front of him with the subordinates of the first-generation Demon King who was born in Durmstrang. Allen's grandfather also graduated from Durmstrang and was Grindelwald's right-hand man. After the war, he and himself were exempted from punishment through various means. They thought that after dispersing their wealth, they would decline from then on, but unexpectedly they just lurked in the UK and even became the heirs of the first generation of the Dark Lord's power.
Karkaroff drank all the wine in the glass and wrapped himself in a leather jacket: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell Dumbledore the news so that I can directly exchange for his support and protection?"
A transparent glass also appeared in Allen's hand. He poured some wine for himself and took a sip: "What makes you think Dumbledore doesn't know? Or do you think this What will the great White Wizard do to us Harris because of this news? Be vigilant, observe, monitor? He allowed Tom Riddle to grow up and dared to do almost nothing. He even allowed his loyal ones after Voldemort was defeated. The people of the Order of the Phoenix are poor or even have nothing. And compared with your former master’s reign of terror that used low-level criminal methods, our Harris family has never violated the law..."
Allen looked at Karkaroff jokingly: "Harris himself is the law."
Although Karkaroff has collapsed on the ground, he feels that his mind has never turned so fast in his life. He already understands the purpose of the Harris family. If he gives up everything and escapes, Durmstrang will also want to If he surrenders his life to others, whether his life can be saved depends on how strong the mysterious person's revenge is against him. Based on his understanding of his master, if he surrendered to the Harris family, his life would be saved, and they would even need to keep his position as principal for a long time to complete the cannibalization of Durmstrang. After all, in order to control the school, in addition to controlling the positions in the school, there are also some school directors to deal with. If he performs well during this period, he may be able to retain his position as principal in the end, or even follow in the footsteps of the Harris family.
At this time, his thoughts were interrupted by Allen's voice: "Judging from your expression, have you figured it out? In addition to the necessary unbreakable vows on this, in order to better protect you, we can communicate in time , I will imprint the mark of the Harris family on you, and please extend your right arm and do not resist." Allen took out the wand.
After hearing this, Karkaroff immediately knelt down in front of Allen, kissed Allen's lower robe, and then took a half step back to reveal his arms: "As you command, Master."
Allen was gently shaking the wine glass in his hand, but when he saw Karkaroff's sudden movement, his hand couldn't help but pause. He couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. Although he was threatening Karkaroff, he never thought of doing anything like his father. He really became the Dark Lord as a joke. However, the situation did not allow him to refuse. Although he also wanted to imitate Krum and Ron and say "I am not, I don't have it...", he still calmly pointed Karkaroff's arm with his wand.
