Chapter 1377 There are many people on our side
"Damn, can't you be quiet? I'm not a train station here."
In the room next to the Pig's Head Bar, Abeforth, who had just finished his day's business and was about to rest, was startled by a group of guys who suddenly appeared.
What annoyed Abuforth the most was that this group of uninvited guys, not only the few in front of him, but also a large number of young people vigilantly raised their wands, from the room that Albert had enchanted out.
Intuition told Abuforth that there must be no good for this group of guys to appear here, and something big is probably going to happen tonight.
"Sorry Abuforth, we don't want so many people coming all at once, but something happened at Hogwarts, so we have to come here." Lee Jordan hurried forward to negotiate with Abuforth, trying to appease the situation A grumpy old man, they disturbed each other's life after all.
"What happened?" Abuforth asked curiously, "I thought you sent a large number of people to retake Hogwarts."
"Old Bat Snape arrested a group of family members of students who resisted him, intending to force other students to submit obediently."
Cedric, who was observing Hogwarts Castle with a map, could not hide his disgust when he talked about this incident.
"Those people are getting better and better."
Abuforth's reaction was very flat. After all, kidnapping relatives and threatening others has always been a tactic used by Death Eaters, and now they just use it in reverse.
"Neville is here, we have to go, it's best not to keep the others waiting too long." George interrupted the brief exchange of several people and walked to Ariana's portrait.
"Why are you, Anderson?" Abuforth asked, frowning, not finding the familiar figure in the crowd.
"Of course not only us, people from the Order of the Phoenix will also come to support." Fred smiled and patted the suitcase in his hand.
"I mean Albert Anderson, didn't that guy come with you?"
Abuforth felt that it was safest for Albert to organize this operation, just like his "unreliable" brother, who always made others feel at ease.
Without Albert, Abeforth was very worried that this group of guys would accidentally step into the trap of the Death Eaters.
This matter looks like a trap no matter how you look at it.
"It's impossible for us to rely on Albert for everything. As long as the mysterious man doesn't show up at Hogwarts, those Death Eaters can't do anything to us!" George looked very confident, and didn't pay attention to the group of Death Eaters at all. Li, "Even if this is a trap, we are confident that we can deal with it calmly, so don't worry."
"I'm not worried about you, I'm just worried that you will implicate me." Aberforth poured himself a cup of hot drink, sat on a chair and watched these chattering guys, he seemed to see the former Order of the Phoenix.
The original Order of the Phoenix was also formed by a group of passionate youths gathered by Dumbledore to try to resist the Death Eaters.
At this time, the portrait on the wall opened like a small door, and Neville appeared inside the opened door, as if surprised that so many members of the Defense Association had come.
"I think they will be very happy to meet you." He greeted everyone with a smile.
"Should no one secretly betray everyone, right?" George said in a low voice after bending down into the secret passage, "We don't want to be tricked by pig teammates."
"No, Hannah has been staring at them over there." Neville was a little surprised that George would say that, but he still explained, "Actually, as long as there is a solution to the problem, I'm sure few people will be so stupid as to betray us, After all, the reputation of the Death Eaters is simply terrible, and no one would be willing to take the risk of betting whether the Death Eaters will abide by the agreement." Neville looked around carefully, and couldn't help frowning and asked: "Is Mr. Anderson not here?"
"He will always pay attention to this matter, but we are the main action tonight, this is a kind of test for us."
Perhaps knowing Neville's worries, George stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It is impossible for us to rely on Albert for everything. We can solve some relatively simple tasks by ourselves, not to mention that this time we have teamed up with Phoenix Society, don’t worry even if you run into a trap head-on.”
"Albert can give everyone more confidence, you know that." Neville smiled wryly. Of course he was willing to believe that the members of the Defense Association had that ability, but he was more willing to believe in Albert.
I don't know when, Albert has quietly replaced the dead Dumbledore, and has become the pillar in the hearts of countless people.
"Don't worry, as far as we know, the mysterious man has left the UK, so we only need to deal with a group of Death Eaters. We have dealt with them many times. The current Death Eaters are just a bunch of trash."
Having followed Albert so many times, everyone is very confident in this rescue operation. Even if it is really a trap carefully arranged by the Death Eaters, so what?
As long as the mysterious person does not appear, there will be no problems with this operation.
After walking for a long time in the secret passage, they finally arrived at the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts.
They actually thought about letting the house elves use apparation to take them into the school, but they gave up after much consideration.
Because they are not only here to save people, but also to reassure the members of Dumbledore's Army that there is nothing wrong with joining Dumbledore's Army, and they have never been given up.
Albert's failure to appear did cause a little commotion among the members of Dumbledore's Army, but before the anxiety spread, George lied without blinking, "Albert didn't come because he needed help." We're keeping You-Know-Who at bay, we're all we need to deal with the Death Eaters."
"The situation is not as bad as you think. This is just a simple rescue operation, and this time we have a lot of people here." Fred tapped the suitcase, put it on the ground and opened it. The people in the box came out one by one.
Everyone opened their mouths in surprise, because many people from the Defense Association and the Order of the Phoenix came, and those who didn't know thought they were planning to capture Hogwarts.
"Is this the headquarters of Dumbledore's Army? It looks really good." Sirius looked at the clothes in the Room of Requirement, turned his head to Lupine beside him and said, "We didn't find this place before!"
"Professor Lupine." Someone couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Remus, it seems that you are very popular among the students." Hestia Jones was also looking around, looking relaxed and not feeling pressured by this action.
Lupine forced a smile, he didn't feel welcome as a werewolf.
After a while of commotion, Cedric cleared his throat and began to mobilize before the battle, "We all know this is a trap set by the Death Eaters, but they probably never thought that we would have so many people coming. Besides, all An ambush only works if the enemy doesn't know it, and if someone finds out, it's not an ambush."
After finishing speaking, he cast a searching look at Kingsley, who shook his head to allow Cedric to continue.
So, Cedric waved his wand to conjure a blackboard out of thin air, and introduced the next plan to everyone: "We have almost confirmed that the tricks made by the Death Eaters are a trap to catch Dumbledore's Army. They probably I also guess that you will not compromise easily, but will try to rescue the captured family members at night. You have done similar things before, so the probability of doing it again is very high, from the Death Eaters they arranged in Hogwarts It's not hard to guess, another proof is that they put people in the school dungeon, basically saying to you... come and save people."
Seeing the expressions of lingering fear on the faces of many students who suddenly realized, they obviously thought about saving people at night.
"We have twenty-three enemies in total, twenty-four if you count Snape, and five of them are Aurors from the Ministry of Magic. However, the Aurors are not with the Death Eaters, but we are not Determine whether they will become obstacles, so a team is needed to solve them." After Cedric finished speaking, he paused for a moment.
"Leave them to me. Aurors are not to be underestimated. They are somehow more dangerous than Death Eaters."
Kingsley, who had been silently watching Cedric command, was surprised that the other party could still control the situation well without Albert, so he took the initiative to stand up and accept the job.
"Then I will go with you later." Cedric nodded, looked at Sirius and Lupine: "Snape will leave it to you, no problem."
"No problem, we will solve him." Sirius and Lupine happily took over the task of dealing with old friends.
"There's no need to deal with him, as long as he doesn't cause trouble for us." George suddenly reminded, "Don't underestimate the big bat. Albert once said that Snape is a very powerful guy."
"We never underestimated him." Sirius and Lupine knew Snape too well, they were old friends.
Cedric looks back at Fred, George and Lee Jordan.
"Leave the Death Eaters to us. They are all trash newcomers, so it's not a big problem." Fred said with a smile.
"Fred."
Mr. Weasley couldn't help frowning, it's a bad habit to underestimate the enemy.
"I'm George," said Fred.
"Okay George."
"Just kidding, this is Fred."
"Stop it."
Bill stopped his younger brother who tried to adjust the atmosphere of the scene.
"There are also some members of the special operations team!" Cedric reminded, "There are probably a few people, and they are all Slytherin students at school.
"Don't worry, we will take care of them." Lee Jordan raised his hand to accept the task.
"Well, I know this job will definitely fall to me." Dedalus Diggle shrugged.
"What about us?"
When the distribution is done, all members of Dumbledore's Army are very dissatisfied with this, they can also participate in this battle instead of waiting here like a fool.
"You are with us, staying in the Room of Requirement as a last resort."
Shanna and Hestia Jones needed to stay and monitor the situation of the school through the Marauder's Map to pass on news to other teams, but he also knew that the others might not be too peaceful, so he continued, "Of course, by the way, we will deal with it outside. It is also our job to monitor the few people here, so don't worry, everyone has their own tasks."
"That's it. If there is no problem, start adjusting the watch." Cedric raised the watch and began to set the time. "It will be done within half an hour. It is best not to alarm other people."
