Chapter 1375 Collapse the fortress from within
If Albert was also present, after listening to their conversation, he probably couldn't bear the grievance, and beat Snape on the spot, so that he could understand the power beyond magic.
He is obviously a good wizard who advocates freedom and loves peace. How could he somehow become the White Demon King?
This is definitely the biggest slander ever!
In the final analysis, this matter is still their own fault.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Order of the Phoenix and the wizards in the British magic world were too useless, why did he even need to do it himself to eliminate the mysterious man?
Isn't it okay to leave it to Harry Potter to solve it himself?
Not only does he have to work hard, but he also has to be that wicked person. Who is willing to endure such grievances?
Fortunately, Albert was ignorant of the conversation between the two, otherwise he probably would have given this group of double-standard dogs a wink.
…
Since his brief exchange with Dumbledore that night, Snape has also tried to minimize the Death Eaters' influence on Hogwarts, but he has ultimately been unable to change the plans of the Death Eaters meeting to break up the Defense Society , and Dumbledore's Army hidden in the Hogwarts school is the first link in the whole plan.
Over the next few days, students at Hogwarts were horrified to find a large number of rude Death Eaters, ridiculously able to capture the leader of Dumbledore's Army in the castle.
That's right, the leader of Dumbledore's Army is called Albert Anderson, not the famous savior Harry Potter.
When the news first spread, it really confused many Hogwarts students. After they came back to their senses, they believed that these Death Eaters came to Hogwarts to cause trouble.
The reason is also very simple. Everyone knows that Dumbledore's Army was formed by Harry Potter, and the Death Eaters even got this wrong. How dare they say that they are here to arrest Albert?
Isn't it obvious that the students are all fools?
I don’t know why, Harry’s reputation as the savior in the past has become less and less, and many Death Eaters no longer regard him as a threat, and even think about when they will be lucky enough to meet him, so that they can go to the Ministry of Magic to take that one. A large bounty has been offered.
Since Voldemort allowed everyone to kill Harry Potter, the unlucky guy who was randomly crowned with the title of savior has become the dream prey of countless Death Eaters.
The current archenemy of the Dark Lord has directly become the Mudblood named Albert Anderson. Considering that Voldemort even gave up his original enemy for this reason, you can understand how important this person is.
Most Death Eaters regarded him as a plague god, and kept a respectful distance from that Mudblood, for fear of becoming the next unlucky one.
In this way, which Death Eater is so daring to capture Albert Anderson, the leader of Dumbledore's Army?
Think you're having a good time?
Under the hostile eyes of countless students and professors, the Death Eaters who were in charge of investigating this matter really wanted them to understand the latitude and longitude, but this was Snape's territory, and they had to strictly abide by Snape's requirements. According to the special operations team Provided friendship information, using Veritaserum to interrogate individual students in order to find out Dumbledore's Army.
The method Snape offered worked, and to the dismay of all the Death Eaters, the current leader of Dumbledore's Army was actually Neville Longbottom, not Harry Potter, or whatever they were saying. Mudblood.
If there is a relationship between the two parties, it is that Dumbledore's Army used the "Guide to Self-Defense" written by that mudblood as a textbook for learning Defense Against the Dark Arts.
However, what annoyed the Death Eaters the most was that the Neville Longbottom they were looking for disappeared from the school not long ago, and the remaining members of Dumbledore's Army also disappeared from the school not long ago up.
"After recent investigations, we believe that the last remnants of Dumbledore's Army should be hiding in the Room of Requirement. It is still occupied by people for a long time, and our people cannot enter..."
Listening to Vice-Principal Alecto Caro's report, Snape's face remained unchanged, as if he already knew what the other party said.
"Things did not exceed my expectations. I just continue to follow the plan and inform McNeil to send some smart Aurors to help." Snape gave the list of missing students a while ago. Handed it to his deputy minister.
"Auror, are you sure those guys are trustworthy?"
Alecto didn't like the group of Aurors who surrendered. He didn't forget that group of guys paddled that night, but she still reached out to take the list from Snape.
After Lucius and Yaxley suffered successive misfortunes, it is not without reason that Snape can still sit firmly at Voldemort's right-hand man.
"I know, but you just need to know that even a piece of toilet paper has its value. We just need their help in convincing the members of Dumbledore's Army to surrender to us, thereby dismantling the group from within." Snape looked To Alecto who was reading the list, he sternly reminded, "Achieving the goal is the most important thing, the process is not important."
"No wonder you can always seize the opportunity at the most critical moment." Alecto stuffed the parchment into his pocket, ready to ask the old woman Magna to write letters to them one by one.
"I don't want any accidents during the period, do you understand?" Snape continued to exhort, "Invite them to Hogwarts and say that their children are missing."
"What if they don't want to?"
"Then bring your helpers, and I will personally persuade them to cooperate with us." Snape's eyes sparkled.
"They would certainly like to."
…
The family members who received the letter from the vice-principal of Hogwarts reacted very strangely.
I was a little worried and scared, and I went to Hogwarts recently.
Some didn't care and burned the letter directly, and continued to do what they should do, but they were visited by Death Eaters and invited to school.
Some of them ran away and disappeared on the day they received the letter.
In short, the students at Hogwarts were soon horrified to discover that the parents of the missing students had been brought to the school by Death Eaters.
Although no one knew exactly what Snape told them, after some negotiations, the family members finally persuaded their children to surrender to the Death Eaters in the name of looking for the missing children at the school.
"That's right, we don't want to do anything to you, our goal is to catch the culprit from beginning to end..."
Under the greeting of the Cruciatus Curse and the careful persuasion of Snape, even the tough ones had to be subdued.
Thus, a letter addressed to members of Dumbledore's Army appeared in various parts of Hogwarts castle in such a grandiose manner, and many students were dumbfounded by the earnest words.
Some smart people have already guessed what the Death Eaters want to do, and they are even more worried that the enemy actually intends to use some means to break down the unity within Dumbledore's Army.
In fact, as Snape feared, the Death Eaters' actions had indeed shaken the faith of the members of Dumbledore's Army in the Room of Requirement to some extent.
After all, anyone who encounters the situation of "the ministers are about to fight to the death, why does your majesty surrender first?" will shake their beliefs, not to mention it is a good step.
The betrayal of the family members really made many students feel angry and at a loss.
Although they were extremely angry at the despicable methods of the Death Eaters, this move did make many members of Dumbledore's Army who were worried about their families begin to think of surrendering.
“Kidnapping children to keep relatives in line has always worked well, and we knew very early on that they were going to do it the other way around.”
In the Room of Response, Neville was telling everyone about Snape's conspiracy, his tone was so calm that one could doubt that he was talking about what he had for dinner this morning.
"But what should we do, we can't..."
"They're adults, they're adults. They think and deal with problems better than we do, and they know what to do. Are you so arrogant that you think you can solve any problem?"
Hannah looked around at the crowd, feeling very dissatisfied with this group of guys who were so naive as to surrender.
"Your family is not in a life-or-death crisis." Someone sarcastically said.
"Yes, they are all dead." Hannah looked at the man calmly.
"You also want our family to die together, and then fight against the mysterious man together with you?" The man glared at Hannah angrily.
"Okay, be quiet."
Neville had to screech his wand in order to restore silence in the noisy room.
"I think you should be very clear that this is a conspiracy by the Death Eaters trying to disintegrate us. They obviously understand that a strong castle usually disintegrates from within."
Neville's tone was still very calm. He looked around at the crowd and continued, "I can understand you. If you want to go out and surrender, I have no objection. First let me see how many people intend to surrender to the Death Eaters?"
There was a dead silence around.
"I really don't want to say anything that will spoil the scenery, but will surrendering to the Death Eaters really solve the problem?" Neville asked rhetorically, "Of course, if you really want to believe the Death Eaters, just pretend I didn't say anything, anyway I don't believe that the group of foreign black wizards have already proved this with their lives."
"If you plan to surrender to the Death Eaters, you will be given up." Hannah sneered.
One of them dressed up as black and the other as red, which bluffed everyone, but those words were actually true.
"What's the meaning."
"The betrayer will be abandoned. Do you expect others to wait for you to betray?" Hannah thought this man was ridiculous, and really didn't know how he joined Dumbledore's Army. "
Others couldn't laugh.
Hannah's words made them realize the fate of betrayal.
They haven't forgotten what happened to the 28 people who were previously given up.
They end up being tortured to death by Death Eaters while everyone in the shelter looks on because they've been abandoned.
"Don't think that if you surrender, the Death Eaters will really let you go." Hannah sneered at everyone, "They lure others to surrender, they just want to use this to disintegrate the association and try to get more information from you. Do you think he will believe what you say, or use other methods of torture to get information. Don’t say that I am threatening you, I believe you all have your own judgment.”
"this…"
The original desire to surrender disappeared.
No one mentioned this matter anymore. The reputation of the Death Eaters is really bad. There have been countless cases telling them that even if they surrender, their safety may not be guaranteed.
The most important thing is that once you are really abandoned by the association, then they can really watch you die.
Those 28 people are the best proof. At that time, there were members of the association in the shelter. Even if there were not enough people, with the ability of the association, it would definitely be no problem to organize a team to rescue them in a short time.
However, they just watched those people being tortured to death by Death Eaters, because they were directly abandoned by the association after the persuasion was ineffective.
People who seek death are not worth saving, and should respect the fate of others.
That is, let him die.
"What did Albert say."
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Ernie asked.
"The mysterious man will not kill pure blood easily. After all, that is the foundation of his rule of the British magic world. The Death Eaters are so excited because they were stimulated by the previous incident, and they will gradually calm down after a while."
Neville was glad to finally get down to business.
"Mr. Anderson thinks that it will evolve into what it is now because they don't even have the courage to resist."
As he spoke, Neville looked around at the students with abnormal expressions, and continued, "Death Eaters are just a bunch of trash, if they bravely stand up and resist, the situation will be different again.
Did the Death Eaters really dare to act so recklessly?
No, they dare not!
Death Eaters are also afraid of death, not to mention that most of the newly joined Death Eaters are a bunch of waste.
We can handle them easily, but the choice of your family members is the biggest problem, if they are cowards who don't even have the courage to resist..."
Speaking of this, the corners of Neville's mouth rose slightly, and he continued, "Mr. Anderson thinks that arranging them to leave the UK to avoid this war is the most correct choice."
"Will you rescue them?"
"It's not us, it's everyone. As I said, the Death Eaters are just a bunch of trash. It's never a big problem to defeat and kill them and save the imprisoned people."
Everyone exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
After all, the deaths of those 28 people were too stupid, and they almost repeated the same mistakes, which made many people feel scared for a while, and they were glad that they didn't do anything stupid, because the Defense Association would really abandon them.
"I will convince my parents." Michael said calmly, "If they don't have the courage...I will tamper with their memories and throw them abroad to escape this **** wizard war."
"This is actually the best way, but many people just don't want to leave the UK, they stupidly think..."
"Alright, Hannah." Neville said to stop the girl next to him from continuing to provoke everyone.
Michael's statement can be regarded as giving everyone a choice.
In fact, the Defense Association has always been very reliable in treating its own people, and even figured out a way for them. As for whether the other party will readily accept it, it is out of their consideration.
