After Dumbledore received the Patronus message from an internal informant, the entire Order of the Phoenix began to move. The Phoenix Patronus he had summoned before accurately sent his order to launch a gathering to the key members of the Order.
At this time, there was already some chaos in Hogwarts. The news published in the "Evening Prophet" quickly spread to every corner of the school, and all students knew that Azkaban had been breached.
For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, and no one paid attention to the Christmas ball anymore.
The students at Hogwarts were in panic, as were wizards and wizards elsewhere in the British wizarding community.
"How is it possible? How could anyone break through Azkaban's defense? That's Azkaban!" Many young wizards couldn't believe the authenticity of this news. In their perception, Azkaban is
The most difficult place to escape from prison, only Sirius Black has successfully escaped for hundreds of years. How could a collective escape occur in a place like this?
Of course, if it is breached...
"Did that person do it? After all, the activities of dark wizards have been too frequent in the past six months..." Some people also suspected that the matter was on Voldemort. Because this matter is so unbelievable! The place that was captured was...
Azkaban! If you must find a dark wizard who can conquer Azkaban, these little wizards with little knowledge will definitely
"These dark wizards should have been sentenced to death in the first place. After all, they committed such a brutal crime!" Some Muggle-born young wizards were filled with resentment and felt that it was all the fault of the judiciary. If all these dark wizards had been hanged, they would have been dead.
There won't be as much trouble as today.
But there are more people who refute him. Even the non-magic world is about to abolish the death penalty, let alone the magic world - the magic world has completely abolished the death penalty. Even if you commit a heinous crime, you will just be thrown into Azkaban.
Done.
The topic quickly went sideways, students blamed each other, quarreled, and the auditorium became a mess.
The school was in such chaos, but the professors who could usually calm the situation had no time to come out. A phoenix patronus appeared in front of Professor McGonagall outside the auditorium, and there were many in front of Snape who had just returned to Hogwarts.
A guardian angel appeared.
As for Mad-Eye, Lupin, Mr. Weasley, Tonks... they all saw the Patronus from Dumbledore.
Dumbledore's Patronus revealed his plan, and these members of the Order of the Phoenix acted directly without any hesitation.
However, Snape received one more message than the others, which was to leak the news of their attack to the Death Eaters.
Looking at the Patronus disappearing before his eyes, Snape's mouth twitched twice. Dumbledore did not leave any evidence of giving orders, which made him look like a spy planted by the Death Eaters in the Order of the Phoenix.
Snape felt helpless for a while. What made him even more speechless was that his identity among the Death Eaters was actually a spy inserted into the Order of the Phoenix.
So an extremely complicated nesting doll was formed. People from the Order of the Phoenix thought he was from the Order of the Phoenix, people from the Death Eaters thought he was from a Death Eater, and he was seemingly a Death Eater inserted into the Order.
Ghost, he was actually a mole planted by the Order of the Phoenix to install Death Eaters. The Death Eaters thought he had infiltrated the Order of the Phoenix and became a mole, but in fact he wanted the Death Eaters to think he had infiltrated the Order and became a mole.
This relationship can make those committee members faint when being tried by the Wizengamot.
Although he kept complaining in his heart, Snape still passed on the news obediently.
Dumbledore's plan can be summed up by the word "intimidation". He will use various channels to make Voldemort believe that Azkaban, the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic will launch a three-way encirclement and suppression of his men.
According to Dumbledore's judgment, Tom Riddle will take the initiative to evacuate without conflict with him. In this way, he can also give an explanation to everyone in the British wizarding community and let them settle down. At the same time, he can also keep the wizarding community neutral.
The wizards are more inclined to their side.
As for Riddle, if he chooses not to evacuate and instead fights the Order of the Phoenix at Malfoy Manor, then Dumbledore can just disapparate there.
Anyway, after the battle between Azkaban and Voldemort, Dumbledore's side has already taken the absolute initiative. No, in fact, they have already taken the initiative since Tom and Dumbledore teamed up to drive the nail into Voldemort's side.
Take the initiative.
The reason why Dumbledore prefers to be conservative is that he does not want to cause too many casualties, and he wants to completely eliminate Voldemort. In his opinion, it is better not to fight to beat Voldemort into a wandering spirit. If you want to fight, you must fight.
He must be completely wiped out of the world.
As Hogwarts gradually fell into chaos, the atmosphere in Malfoy Manor was as heavy as a dead person.
"Is the news true?" Voldemort sat on his chair and turned the wand in his hand.
"It's true, Master." Little Crouch immediately replied, "This is the news that Severus just sent back."
Next to him, Yaxley added: "There are also some changes in the Auror office of the Ministry of Magic. Several Aurors seem to have left the Ministry of Magic in a hurry. As for Azkaban, we really can't get any news."
Yaxley said this, almost confirming that the Ministry of Magic will join forces with the Order of the Phoenix.
This is the truth! Dumbledore also contacted the Minister of Magic, Bones. Bones has decided to organize Aurors to conduct a search of Malfoy Manor.
Organizing an operation against Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic, which has been infiltrated by Death Eaters, will definitely leak the news. Bones' order arrived at the Auror Office and Malfoy Manor almost at the same time.
But this is just right, just in line with Dumbledore's wishes.
The Death Eaters were stunned by the news and fell into panic. The Order of the Phoenix was not prepared for the decisive battle, and neither were the Death Eaters! The allies Voldemort wanted to contact in his plan - giants, werewolves, Japanese magic
department—but none of them are in place!
"Tell me what you think!" Seeing that his subordinates looked fierce and angry, the red light in Voldemort's eyes became even brighter, and he decided to let his servants express their opinions first.
"Where else can we go!" A Death Eater with dark hair shouted dissatisfied, "We might as well just stay here and fight with the people of the Order of the Phoenix!"
"Pull him down, Dolohov!" Little Crouch retorted mercilessly: "You don't even have a wand!"
The wizard who was attacked was named Antonin Dolohov. He was Voldemort's successor and one of his first Death Eaters. This crazy man was convicted of the brutal murder of Fabian and Gideon Prewett.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for his actions and had just been rescued from prison by Voldemort. Among the Death Eaters present, only Crouch Jr., a Death Eater with a high status, dared to reprimand him mercilessly.
he.
Antonin Dolohov, a Death Eater whose hands are stained with the blood of wizards and Muggles, has a pale, distorted long face. Just looking at his face, you can tell that he is proficient in black magic. This man has a large frame.
Or maybe he is thin due to living in Azkaban for a long time.
At this moment, Dolokhov, who had been disgraced, flashed a fierce light in his eyes, but considering the identity of Crouch Jr., he had to swallow this breath. Moreover, what Crouch Jr. said was the truth.
The Death Eaters rescued by Voldemort were in poor condition, and all of them had their wands confiscated.
He could only sit in his seat and grumble softly.
Most people just pretended not to hear. Deep down in their hearts, these people did not want to fight to the death with the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix, because the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix arrived too promptly and decisively, and the Death Eaters were not prepared to fight at all.
Prepare.
"It would be great if Regulus was still alive, then we could still go to the Black house..." One of the Death Eaters sighed.
Isn't it! Regulus Black, the heir to the Black family, was one of Voldemort's most trusted subordinates. Unfortunately, he died young and gave his life for Voldemort's great cause. If he were still alive, the Death Eaters present would
The disciples can completely run to the Black Mansion to take refuge.
Bellatrix Lestrange, who was sitting at the top, snorted coldly, feeling a little unhappy: She was originally from the Black family, but she didn't have half a Nat relationship with the Black family's inheritance. In the end
That rich inheritance and the Black family's ancestral home all fell into the hands of his traitorous cousin.
However, her companion's words inspired her. Although she did not have the authority to enter the Black ancestral home, she had the qualifications to enter the Lestrange family.
"You might consider going to Lestrange Manor, which has been abandoned for a long time and I don't know if it can still be inhabited."
"Even I know that now is not the time to quarrel. Members of the Order of the Phoenix may appear at any time." Even Lucius, who was sitting at the end of the long table, expressed his own opinions.
After listening to the discussions among his men, Voldemort finally made up his mind.
"Everyone evacuates to Lestrange Manor and prepares for counterattack."
After hearing Voldemort's decision, the Death Eaters stopped arguing and stood up one after another, preparing to pack their things and take their colleagues with them to follow Bella and evacuate to Lestrange Manor.
However, Voldemort did not act together with his Death Eaters. He just sat there, as if thinking about something.
[Dumbledore is about to bring the elite of the Order of the Phoenix, the Dementors of Azkaban, and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic to fight over. This is a very powerful force...]
Before making a decision, Voldemort estimated the strength gap between the two sides. He found that if a war really started, his side would have a high probability of losing. Because he would be involved by Dumbledore, and the remaining Death Eaters would obviously
He is no match for a dementor, a Ministry of Magic Auror, and a member of the Order of the Phoenix.
So after weighing the pros and cons, Voldemort decided to give in first.
But the stronger the offensive power, the weaker the defensive power. Dumbledore, how much power have you left in Hogwarts?
Just let me take a look!
Voldemort stood up and looked at the panicked Death Eaters around him, with a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes: These rabble!
But now he can only make do with this group of people.
When the Death Eaters rescued from Azkaban are repaired, the level of the Death Eaters will be improved. Voldemort comforted himself in this way.
Then, he turned into a plume of black smoke and left here on his own initiative.
He believed that when the news of Hogwarts being attacked came, Dumbledore's side would definitely fall into panic. At that time, the Death Eaters would counterattack again, and it would be easy to turn defeat into victory.
Voldemort has planned everything. The moment Dumbledore steps into Malfoy Manor, he will lose!
When the Death Eaters were preparing to evacuate, the owner of Malfoy Manor, Lucius Malfoy, looked very unhappy. When Voldemort made the decision to evacuate, he was instantly stunned.
Other Death Eaters can escape, but not your own manor!
He suddenly realized that the hard work of several generations of the Malfoy family was likely to be wasted in his hands. At this time, he was extremely grateful that he had extended an olive branch to Dumbledore through Dobby in advance.
Dumbledore testified that he would definitely not lose the last chip.
Thinking of this, Lucius was no longer in a panic. He stood up slowly, put a few valuable furnishings into his bag, and followed his companions to evacuate to Lestrange Manor under Bella's guidance.
They moved very quickly, and within a few minutes, the huge Malfoy Manor was completely empty.
By this time, the members of the Order of the Phoenix had already assembled.
Just as they were preparing to set off, Lupin's patronus appeared again and handed them a new address.
Professor McGonagall looked at the patron saint in front of her and showed a confident smile: "Albus has arranged everything, we just need to execute it. Now, everyone will go to Lestrange Manor with me!
"
…
"What are you going to do?" Delis looked at the suddenly restless Dementors with a wary look on his face.
After Azkaban was attacked, the Ministry of Magic showed amazing efficiency and quickly deployed an elite Auror team to station in Azkaban to support the dementors here. The leader of this team was just now
Delis was awarded the Order of Merlin.
Delix has been on a roll lately.
Already marginalized, he returned to the center of power due to his brave performance in the World Cup finals. When the time came, he was entrusted with an important task and was stationed in Azkaban. He even had Aurors and strikers under his command, and he was
There are ten people.
But his luck seemed to have run out here, because today the Dementors suddenly became restless without warning. They flew into the air one by one, circling wantonly, watching the Aurors stationed here, attacking
My hands and scalp are numb.
His old partner Naya walked up to Delis and whispered to him to prepare early. In a short period of time, the dementors suffered two attacks and started killing again. It is normal for them to be emotionally unstable.
Commonly known as wild-minded.
Delis took a look at his men and felt that suppressing the Dementors was a bit unrealistic. So he stood up and decided to take the initiative to negotiate with the Dementors to find out what they wanted to do.
"Revenge?" Delis was stunned. These dementors were actually planning to organize an expedition!
Delis looked at the mobilized dementors and made a decision.
He wants to go with the dementors!
