In the quiet night, a figure appeared without warning at the bottom of the steep cliff. After he raised his head and looked around to make sure there was no one there, he slowly walked towards the beach in front of him, not caring that he was exposed to the bright moonlight.
If there were any Death Eaters here, they would definitely be surprised what Avery was doing here in the middle of the night.
At this moment, Avery stood quietly on the rocks beside the beach, letting the cold sea breeze blow through his hair.
The sound of waves hitting the rocks echoed in his ears, but Avery didn't understand why he came here, but there was always a voice in his heart that kept reminding him that he must come here at this time to wait for someone.
The funny thing is, Avery didn't even know who he was waiting for, but he knew he had to wait for someone here.
So, here he comes.
Suddenly there was a crackling sound on the beach not far away, which was the sound of someone apparating over.
Avery knew the man he was waiting for had arrived.
When he was about to turn back to see who that person was, his whole body suddenly froze in place, as if frozen by a freezing spell. He had no time to turn back, let alone figure out what was going on.
I just feel like the thoughts and worries in my mind have been swept away, leaving only a hazy feeling of joy.
The visitor completed everything quietly and disappeared without warning like a gust of wind, leaving no footprints on the beach.
When Avery came back from his trance, he looked around in confusion, muttered something unknown, and actually reached out and took out a candy from his pocket. He stared at the candy, and the expression on his face became extremely stunned.
, didn’t understand why there was a candy in his pocket, but the strange thing was that Avery did not throw away the candy, but put it back into his pocket, and then apparated away from the beach.
When Avery arrived outside Bella's temporary stronghold and was about to knock on the door, the door in front of him opened by itself, and Snape walked out.
"Severus, why are you here?"
Avery was very surprised by Snape's arrival, but then he seemed to think of something again, and asked quickly: "Is that plan about to start?"
It seemed that this was the only thing that required Snape to go there in person and discuss carefully with them the plan to assassinate Dumbledore.
Although this was a secret mission assigned to Draco Malfoy by the Dark Lord, everyone now knows that the assassination plan has been taken over by Snape.
If Dumbledore can really be eliminated, many of the current troubles the Death Eaters are encountering will be solved.
"Not yet, but it should be soon."
Snape was also surprised to meet Avery here.
"Severus, what's wrong?" Narcissa's voice came from the living room.
"Avery is here." Snape moved to let Avery enter the room.
"Avery, what's wrong?" Narcissa was also a little surprised.
"About this assassination plan." Avery turned his head and said to Snape, "If you are not in a hurry to leave, come in and listen!"
"What do you think of our plan?"
"Although I would like to say without conscience that your plan is perfect, it is a pity that our opponent has a monster named Albert Anderson."
Avery faced Bella's murderous gaze and continued: "We need to make some more preparations. What I mean is to be prepared to retreat if the plan fails, even if..."
"You think our plan will fail!"
Bella's eyes became more and more evil, and Avery's questioning made her feel extremely angry. If Alecto hadn't stopped him in time, her wand might have been thrust into Avery's mouth to shut him up.
"What are you going to do?"
"Honestly, I don't want to say such depressing words, but if we delay for too long, I'm worried that the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic will reinforce Hogwarts. You know, that damn mudblood is very good at playing this kind of trick.
I wouldn't be surprised if he did convince the Ministry of Magic's Aurors to ambush us at Hogwarts.
"This is impossible." Alecto shook his head and retorted, "We have people at the Ministry of Magic. As long as there is any movement, we will definitely receive the news as soon as possible."
"But we still fall into that mudblood's trap many times. How do you know it won't be a trap this time..."
"Get to the point." Snape interrupted impatiently.
"I think it is necessary to mobilize a large number of dementors and dark wizards, and let them besiege Hogwarts when necessary. At least create some chaos and help us temporarily hold back the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and members of the Order of the Phoenix."
Free revealed his plan.
"You know there's no way we can do that." Alecto frowned and reminded, "Besides, there are many shameful guys who have fled the UK directly after seeing the situation going badly. We can't recruit many helpers now."
"Someone will tell the Dark Lord about this, if he allows it." Avery looked at Alecto: "I think everyone knows that nothing is more important than killing Dumbledore now."
"I must remind you that we intend to get rid of Dumbledore, not destroy Hogwarts. I think the Dark Lord would rather have Hogwarts under his control." Snape reminded.
"Of course I know."
"If it is to prevent the Ministry of Magic from reinforcing Hogwarts, I think we can suggest that the Dark Lord rob the prison." Alecto glanced at Narcissa and said, "As long as the prisoners in Azkaban Prison are released, not only can we
We received a lot of help, and we were able to distract the Ministry of Magic from taking care of Hogwarts."
As she spoke, she suddenly showed a strange expression, "Many wizards believe that Hogwarts, with Dumbledore in charge, is the safest place in the UK."
"But will the Dark Lord agree?"
Narcissa was very excited about this proposal. If Voldemort broke into prison, her husband and Alecto's brother could escape from prison, and this could also attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic.
Once Scrimgeour involves the Ministry of Magic's Aurors in Hogwarts operations, their plans may be seriously disrupted.
"This is a good idea, but I still think we should spend some time attacking Hogwarts, at least to lure away some of the school's professors." Avery looked at Alecto again.
Everyone present knew that Alecto was sent by the Dark Lord to monitor them.
"I will talk to the Dark Lord, but I can't make any guarantees." Alecto said.
"sorry to bother you!"
Although Narcissa knew that Alecto was here to spy on them, she didn't dislike him too much.
Avery looked at Alecto's back and muttered softly, "That guy can't be trusted."
"She will also participate in the next battle." Bella taunted sharply.
"There is one thing I must remind you. The more complex the plan, the more troublesome it will be to execute it. Killing Dumbledore is the most important thing. I don't want the assassination plan to fail because of some people's stupidity." Snape reminded.
After everyone, they returned to Hogwarts with the news.
"What a nasty guy."
…
"What brings you to see me at this time, Alecto."
A hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded in the dim room.
After the man turned around, Alecto directly met a pair of scarlet eyes.
"Master, they have made a plan and they should start taking action in the near future." Alecto lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly into Voldemort's eyes.
"A plan?" Voldemort repeated softly.
He really didn't like the word very much. They had made many plans, but almost all of them failed.
In front of the Master of Prophecy, almost all the so-called plans turned into a joke, especially when that guy had a way to mobilize the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.
This is also the main reason why Voldemort always wanted to get rid of Albert.
Alecto began to tell Voldemort the key points of their plan to assassinate Dumbledore, including Narcissa and Bella's search for Felixir and their plan to obtain a batch of Felixir from Slughorn.
"So, they are now pinning their hopes on a trick like the Spiritual Elixir?"
Of course Voldemort knew about the Felixir. Perhaps this so-called lucky potion could give Death Eaters an advantage against other Aurors, but when facing truly powerful wizards, that so-called luck was simply not enough.
"No, they think that Felixir can help them complete the task of assassinating Dumbledore more smoothly." Alecto quickly explained, "Everyone hopes to get rid of Dumbledore, and anything that can increase the probability of success is worth a try.
.”
Seeing that Voldemort didn't speak, Alecto continued, "Avery believed that the Ministry of Magic was likely to interfere with this assassination, so he hoped to mobilize some dark wizards and dementors to ambush near Hogwarts to help drag him away.
Reinforcements may arrive, create opportunities for Snape, and..."
Alecto glanced at Voldemort secretly, lowered his voice and said, "We must attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic. Maybe we should advance the time of the prison break."
"Is this your opinion or someone else's opinion?"
Voldemort looked indifferently at Alecto, who bowed his head and remained silent, easily seeing through the other person's little thoughts.
Alecto lowered her head lower, and Voldemort's gaze put a lot of pressure on her.
"Tell me, Alecto." Voldemort asked.
"Everyone thinks that killing Dumbledore should be the first priority now. They think that as long as we get rid of Dumbledore, we can..."
"That's enough, Alecto, go down." Voldemort said coldly, "Inform Yaxley to come over."
Alecto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that she had successfully convinced the Dark Lord.
In fact, Alecto has never been able to convince Voldemort, because only Voldemort himself can convince himself.
Although Snape said that Dumbledore had only a few years to live, Voldemort couldn't wait any longer. That damn old guy had become the biggest obstacle in front of him, and it was imperative to kick him away.
Because of Malfoy's relationship, Snape was also involved.
Once Snape, an important chess piece, fails, it will be difficult for Voldemort to kill Dumbledore in a short time.
It can only be said that Voldemort himself had no choice, because he himself had already been involved and was destined to become one of the characters that set off this storm.
