Chapter 66 Unexpected Joy(1/2)
It was not until evening that John and Alice followed Snape back to Malfoy Manor.
Narcissa had been waiting in the foyer for a long time.
Seeing John and others arriving, her eyes lit up and she quickly came over and said:
"John, you are here! Draco...How is Draco?"
"Today we just helped him swell the faces of the Slytherin named Rooney and Umbridge." Alice shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile, "He should still be at Hogwart at this moment.
Are you bragging to others? Maybe you even made up a new song.
Therefore, he is doing very well, without any influence or pressure at all. He should eat, drink and smile when he should.
You don’t have to worry about him.”
John nodded and said:
"In fact, I was about to tell you about this. That Rooney said that he would ask his father to bring people to search Malfoy Manor. You'd better be careful recently."
As soon as these words came out, Narcissa just breathed a sigh of relief, and her expression became strange.
Snape frowned and said:
"What's wrong?"
"Well - in fact, Old Rooney has already been here today..."
Narcissa slowly recounted what happened in Malfoy Manor today.
After hearing this, John and others were also stunned for a moment.
They really didn't expect that Rooney and his father Rooney Sr. would be so reckless.
Not willing to stop for a moment, he went straight to raid Voldemort's lair.
"I guess they are all corpses now, right?"
Alice said happily.
"That's not true." Narcissa shook her head and said, "Only Old Rooney himself is dead. As for his two men, their memories were tampered with by the Dark Lord... They will go to the Ministry of Magic and surrender, saying that they killed Old Rooney.
of."
Hearing this, John remembered what Dumbledore had mentioned to him before, about Voldemort killing the old fat woman and putting the blame on the house elf, and couldn't help but smile and said:
"It's really the style of the Dark Lord."
Narcissa managed a smile, and then said nervously:
"The Dark Lord is angry! He plans to take revenge, so he calls everyone together."
John nodded, indicating that he understood, and then walked towards the living room.
As soon as he opened the door, a loud and messy quarrel broke into his ears.
"We should attack the Ministry of Magic directly! This will teach them the biggest lesson!"
"Idiot! The Ministry of Magic is heavily guarded, with Aurors and strikers, as well as a large number of magic traps..."
"Let's attack Hogwarts!"
"There's Dumbledore at Hogwarts..."
"Let me tell you, we shouldn't act rashly. At present, our strength is still too weak. We should recharge our batteries, endure it for the time being, and wait until we become stronger..."
"Revenge is the decision made by the Dark Lord! You guy, how dare you disobey the Dark Lord?"
…
The whole living room has become noisy.
A large group of Death Eaters gathered around the long table, quarreling with red faces.
Even Voldemort himself was sitting on the main seat with a frown, looking like he was deep in thought.
The arrival of John and others attracted the attention of many people.
The living room was quiet for a moment.
But then, Bella glared at Snape fiercely and said:
"You're late!"
"Dumbledore was talking to us."
Snape said calmly.
"Excuse!"
Bella continued to scream.
Not only her, but also another Death Eater next to her sneered:
"I'm afraid you have already leaked information about us to Dumbledore, right? Lord Dark Lord, this is a traitor, please expel him!"
"I was also present when Dumbledore and Professor Snape were talking." John said coldly, "So you want to say that I am also a traitor and you want to expel me too?"
As soon as John said this.
The screaming Death Eater suddenly became silent.
He stared at John angrily, but remained speechless.
You must know that John is the most popular person in front of the Dark Lord. Although his popularity has decreased now, he is different from people like Snape after all.
He may dare to denounce and frame Snape, but he still has to think twice about dealing with John.
"That's enough! Sit down, John."
Voldemort ended the quarrel with a sharp shout.
John ignored the sullen Death Eater and sat directly next to Michael with Snape and Alice.
"You should know what the specific matter is, right?"
Voldemort asked.
"Mrs. Malfoy just introduced us outside and said she was preparing to counterattack." John nodded, "I absolutely support this. The Dark Lord's will is the direction we are heading. Then... we are going to attack next.
Which place?"
Voldemort nodded, obviously very satisfied with John's words.
But he did not continue to answer, but looked at the Death Eaters in front of him.
The scene was unexpectedly awkward and silent at this moment.
Almost all the Death Eaters lowered their heads, avoiding Voldemort's gaze.
Finally, little Barty stood up bravely and said:
"It's still under discussion..."
"Ha! In other words, you have been discussing it all afternoon, but you haven't even come up with the most basic attack target?"
John sneered.
After hearing this, the Death Eaters finally became angry.
They gritted their teeth and stared at John.
The Death Eater who just wanted to expel Snape said angrily:
"Come if you dare!"
"I'll do it, I'll do it. Why bother with such a trivial matter? Wouldn't it be better to just attack Gringotts?"
John said with a smile.
From Umbridge, he learned that the Goblin Foundation had been reestablished in Gringotts and was planning to acquire the school board and control Hogwarts.
Originally, he was still worried about this matter.
Little did he know that Voldemort was about to launch a retaliatory attack.
For John, it was almost like having someone bring him a pillow as soon as he fell asleep.
As long as I can lead the Death Eaters to overthrow Gringotts, not only will the newly rebuilt Goblin Foundation be severely damaged, but the vitality within the Death Eaters will also be weakened.
Simply the best of both worlds!
But just as John finished speaking, he heard Bella say sharply:
"no!"
"Yes, it just won't work!" the previous Death Eater agreed, "Gringotts is the property of the goblins, and our target of revenge is the Ministry of Magic! Attacking Gringotts will not hit the Ministry of Magic at all!"
"You are such an idiot! In Azkaban for more than ten years, have all your brains been sucked away by the Dementors?"
John cursed unceremoniously, "Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that a large part of the funding for the Ministry of Magic's operations comes from Gringotts! Destroying Gringotts is equivalent to destroying the source of funding for the Ministry of Magic."
Earth! This is a serious blow to the Ministry of Magic!"
The Death Eater was so angry that his expression was distorted.
To be continued...
