Unexpected Move

Mad-Eye Moody clearly knew the woman in the smoke, but he understood even better that Bertha Jorkins appearing here most likely meant she was under Voldemort's control.

"Attack!" he roared. "Stupefy!"

Bertha Jorkins swung her wand. A wash of dark green light spouted from its tip, forming a mist-like magical energy field that shielded her.

Mad-Eye Moody thrust his wand forward, sending out a red beam like plasma.

The red beam shot straight into the mist-like magical energy field. Ripples spread across the field before the red beam was reflected back at him.

"This isn't Bertha Jorkins' level of magic..." Mad-Eye Moody flicked his wand, knocking the returning red beam aside.

His magical eye spun wildly as he reached a conclusion about Bertha Jorkins' condition. "She's possessed... You bastard, Voldemort!"

Hearing Mad-Eye Moody's curse, Voldemort controlled Bertha Jorkins to raise her wand and cast the spell he was most proficient in. "Avada Kedavra!"

Voldemort was Mad-Eye Moody's old adversary. Facing the chilling green light speeding toward him, Mad-Eye Moody immediately planted his cane and narrowly dodged the Killing Curse;

"You mongrel!" After steadying himself, he even had time to curse before raising his wand at Bertha Jorkins again. "Confringo!"

It was not just Mad-Eye Moody casting the Blasting Curse. Wizet and the others were not about to stand by and watch either, raising their wands and casting spells together.

Multicoloured magic flew at Voldemort in succession. With a violent surge, the mist-like magical energy field dissipated completely.

Among them was a Severing Charm. After the mist-like magical energy field vanished, it still retained some of its power and flew toward the hand Bertha Jorkins used to hold her wand.

After blocking the Severing Charm aimed at her palm, Bertha Jorkins' hand began to tremble, and she could barely keep hold
