Ryan's prediction was not unfounded. The morning after the piece of Voldemort's soul attached to Harry was removed, extremely bad news appeared in the newspaper.
"Let me see what's the news today?" After eating the breakfast brought by the house elf, Hermione sat on the edge of the small living room and started reading today's "British Magic News". "The front page news
, this is - damn! How could they do this?" Hermione exclaimed after reading the front page of the newspaper, her tone also filled with some kind of disbelief and extreme anger.
"What happened, Hermione?" After Ryan realized something was wrong, he put down the black tea in his hand and looked at Hermione. He saw Hermione's eyes were red and she was holding the newspaper in her hand, and the hand holding the newspaper was still trembling slightly.
"Look at this news." Hermione handed over the newspaper. The front page read in large blood-red letters, "Death Eaters' Revenge, Pocahontas Massacre." Below was a burning room, and on the ground in front of the room.
A torn stuffed bear was also thrown away.
"——Yesterday, Death Eaters gathered and massacred a Muggle village. 46 people were killed. The oldest was 74 years old and the youngest was six months old. In addition, 17 people suffered irreversible injuries." Ryan read these words.
He felt a fire burning in his chest. He threw the newspaper to the ground, "Since they are not human beings, I don't think it is necessary to treat them the same way as human beings."
"You're right." Hermione took a deep breath and regained her composure. "I think there are some things that the dark wizards have not experienced, so they dare to do evil without any scruples."
After gathering their emotions for a while, Ryan and Hermione walked out of their rooms. At this time, many students had already finished breakfast and were preparing to go to class or return to the common room. The corridors were full of people.
During breakfast, the owl would deliver today's newspaper to everyone, so Ryan could hear the students coming and going discussing the news just published in the newspaper. For them, the news this morning had a great impact on them.
, after all, the students staying here now, even if they are from pure-blood families, are not the kind of extreme bloodists. They may not usually think that Muggles are as good as wizards, but they at least think that Muggles and wizards are both human beings.
So after seeing this bad news, many girls had red eyes, and some boys were gnashing their teeth and scolding the Death Eaters who had done such a thing. When Ryan and the others walked into the hall
While there, he saw a Hufflepuff girl sitting by the wall covering her face and crying bitterly, with several people standing beside her to comfort him.
"What happened here?" Ryan stepped forward and asked Hannah Abbott, a member of the book club who was comforting her classmates. "Why is she crying so sadly?"
"Because of the news in the "British Magic News" this morning." After finding out that it was Ryan who asked her, Hannah Abbott first sighed, and then said slowly. "Mary is a hemp wizard, and before that
In the tragedy in Boka Village, her uncle, aunt and newborn nephew were all killed."
Different from the style of the previous Daily Prophet, when reporting on Muggle casualties, the British Magical News did not just report a simple number like before, but dedicated a page to simply write about the wizards who died.
The name, age and occupation of the murdered Muggle was recorded. This is why the Hufflepuff girl learned the news of the death of her relatives as soon as she read the newspaper.
This was a rule that Ryan and Hermione had set together before. They believed that the original "Daily Prophet" approach of reporting only a single number of Muggle deaths was easy for people to ignore. But after adding some simple personal information,
These victims will change from a simple number to a living person, which can allow everyone to truly understand the sins of those Death Eaters.
Now it seems that the propaganda effect has indeed been achieved. Ryan can see everyone in Hogwarts discussing the cruelty of the Death Eaters. Although for Ryan and the others, this kind of propaganda effect is not what they want to see.
.
"Don't worry, those dark wizards will definitely be punished as they deserve. I swear to you." Just as Ryan was thinking about the newspaper issue, Hermione walked over to the little witch named Mary and knelt down on one knee to hold her hand and comfort her.
To, "No evil person can escape punishment."
After saying that, Hermione stood up and pulled Ryan out of the hall and walked along the road to the outside of the school gate. But what they didn't notice was that just as they walked out of the castle gate, Principal Dumbledore was standing beside him.
Watching them from the office window.
"Albus, won't you stop them?" After a thud of wood hitting each other, Moody, who had just returned from Azkaban for errands, limped over from behind Dumbledore.
Haven't you discovered it by now? You two students basically didn't survive the battle. I'm a little worried that they will cause a lot of casualties this time."
"Alastor, you are too worried." Dumbledore turned his head and looked at Moody and replied. "I believe they are not the kind of people who kill innocent people indiscriminately. At least during the last visit to the Ministry of Magic, even if the situation was like that
Because they only killed those Death Eaters with human lives on their hands, they were willing to risk exposure and let go of the clerk in the Inquisition."
"But as you once said, killing will change a person's mind." Moody still looked worried. "If the price of destroying a Dark Lord is to create a new generation of Dark Lord, then what we have done
What’s the point of it?”
"What we have to do now is to believe in them and believe that these two children will not go astray." Dumbledore nodded slowly, and then said, "Only trust and love are the things we can really rely on.
Groundless suspicion will only deepen the distance between people, and this is exactly what Voldemort needs."
"What's more, the minds of those two children are far from ordinary people of the same age. I can feel that their will is extremely tough, and they will not be distorted by just killing." At this point, Dumbledore revealed a hint.
Relaxed smile. "So you really don't need to worry too much. By the way, you need to come from Azkaban this time-"
After seeing that Dumbledore did not want to continue talking about this topic, Moody could only put down his worries and began to tell Dumbledore what he needed to do when he came from Azkaban this time.
While Professor Dumbledore and Moody were discussing, Ryan and Hermione, who were the subjects of discussion, had already left the confines of Hogwarts Castle.
"Where should we go now?" After leaving the castle, the two people left the road and came to the woods beside the castle. After making sure that there was no one around, Hermione asked Ryan. "For those who did such cruel things,
Dark wizard, our next step should be to retaliate to warn others not to involve these innocent people in the war. But the most important problem we encounter now is that we do not know the specific situation of the group of attackers, except that they are food
Apart from what the Dead Apostles did, we don’t even know who was involved.”
"So the first step is to collect intelligence." Ryan said. "Let's go back to the manor temporarily for the next two days. The fewer people who know about our subsequent actions, the better. So it is very important to isolate yourself first.
, to avoid the news being leaked. As for intelligence, I think I have enough ways to get what we want to know."
"I hope we can obtain accurate information in a short time." Hermione said. "Because the sources of those Death Eaters are too complicated now, I'm worried that some of them will leave the UK after earning enough gold coins."
"Don't worry, Hermione." Ryan smiled. "It's not like we can only stay in England and cannot leave. At worst, we can just follow them to other places. I guarantee that no one will be able to escape the punishment they deserve."
