Another day passed. Still they continued to elude him. No matter how close he got-and he got close several times-they always managed to keep at least one Apparation between themselves and their pursuer.
And every now and then, they'd taunt him by appearing on the Wizarding Wireless, mocking him and the Dark Lord; flaunting their cleverness at never having been caught yet.
Trouble with that was, it only applied to "so far". There was still a "tomorrow" to deal with, and predator and prey knew this both.
Sure, he'd get tips from witches and wizards supportive of the Dark Lord, and usually they were good ones, but still Potter Watch continued to prove to be as easy to catch as a shadow.
He was getting angry. And in his anger he was getting careless. Sloppy.
The Muggles were starting to notice that there was something running about the lands at night, and people were too scared to go outside, because if Potter Watch didn't end up on his platter, some poor soul would invariably take his place.
And Mulciber too was taking notice; something he took pains to point out to the younger man whenever Rodolphus returned for a reapplication of the charm that would, three times per casting, turn him into an animal in a fashion akin to that of an Animagus.
He never felt the need to learn, until now, and things were getting desperate now, hence his use of the older man's skills at charms.
Hence why he listened and growled back that he was "getting closer I'm positive of it".
Potter Watch continued to remain at large.
Just how much longer did he have?
How much longer was Mulciber going to keep this a secret from the Dark Lord?
Voldemort did not take failures lightly...
