Chapter 556: “Death Eater’s Invasion”

Midnight had descended, and after a day brimming with excitement, exhaustion gradually claimed all the wizards.

Many of the foreign wizards had already departed, courtesy of Portkeys provided by the Ministry of Magic at the carnivals conclusion.

Although wizards societal structure differed from Muggless, the essence was fundamentally similar.

Adult wizards held down adult responsibilities and had to earn a living to provide for their families.

Younger wizards had their own commitments and needed to make arrangements for the start of the new school year.

It was simply not feasible for them to remain at the camp indefinitely.

By midnight, those who remained in the camp were primarily British wizards, as most could Apparate to work come the following morning.

This included many Aurors and Ministry of Magic employees who had wrapped up their duties early due to the tournaments conclusion and the departure of foreign wizards.

A few Ministry staff members remained in the camp overnight to attend to the final details of the event.

In the Weasleys tent, it was a similar scenario.

The majority had already retired to the comforts of their luxurious rooms, drifting into peaceful slumber.

However, Jerry was not among them. He understood that this night wouldnt pass so serenely.

While Voldemort had been vanquished long ago, there remained a lingering threat of mischief, particularly from Death Eaters like Malfoy, those who were not unwaveringly loyal to the Dark Lord.

In the wake of most of the Ministrys personnel departing the camp in high spirits, the Death Eaters aimed to make their presence known.

They didnt intend to prove their allegiance to Voldemort; instead, they sought to capture Muggles, subjecting them to torture.

Their objective was to remind the entire wizarding world that despite Voldemorts absence, pure-blood supporters endured.

This behavior paralleled Muggle demonstrations and protests, albeit considerably more radical and cruel in nature.

Jerry sensed the magic fluctuations outside, signifying the beginning of the Death Eaters activities under Malfoys lead.

Knowing that the night wouldnt remain peaceful, he exclaimed to himself, As expected, theyve arrived.

Suddenly, Arthurs voice sounded from the hallway, rousing Harry, Ron, Jerry, and the others from their beds.

They rushed to the door, pushed it open, and stepped into the hallway, anxious to understand the situation outside.

Can this portal truly be opened this large? Arthur inquired, his astonishment evident.

Arthur and the others gaped in sheer astonishment as they beheld the colossal portal Jerry had conjured.

While they were aware of Jerrys ability to create portals, they were taken aback by the sheer magnitude of the one he had produced.

Hermione had attested to his capacity to manifest portals, and they had witnessed him employ this magic to send Daily Prophet reporter Rita to the African savannah.

In truth, they had not anticipated the sheer grandeur of Jerrys portal.

Arthur, realizing that now was not the time for amazement, acted swiftly.

He casted a Sonorus on himself and urgently addressed the disoriented wizards who were scurrying about in panic.

Listen, everyone, Im Arthur Weasley from the Ministry of Magic, and Mr. Jerry Carmen has opened a portal to Diagon Alley. I implore you all to evacuate through it!

Understanding that the urgency of the situation overshadowed any astonishment, Arthur called out to the panicked wizards who had been rushing about.

Understanding that the situation did not allow for amazement, Arthur quickly enchanted himself with a loudspeaker spell and then began directing the bewildered and panicked wizards.

In the camp, a few Ministry of Magic employees were on standby.

Nonetheless, Arthur was a well-known figure at the Ministry, an experienced worker, and a member of the esteemed Weasley family. Additionally, he was the author of the Muggle Protection Act, adding to his renown.

Upon revealing his identity, the disoriented wizards who had been scurrying about instinctively halted their movements.

They grasped the situation as Arthur narrated their situation and emphasized Jerrys involvement and the commotion in the wizarding world.

They rushed towards the monumental portal, its other end revealing the familiar Diagon Alley.

The portals immense size and the name of Jerry Carmen, the days victorious champion, confirmed their salvation.

Several wizards had already apparated to safety when the masked individuals first appeared.

Those who remained had varying reasons, including a lack of proficiency in Apparating due to poor school grades at the time and a commitment to ensuring their families safety.

Jerrys portal was a game-changer.

It allowed him to transport all the wizards present to a secure location.

This was a feat that no other magical spell in the contemporary wizarding world could replicate.
