The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 669 The Decisive Battle Begins
The light in the castle flickered and the flames were shaken by the cold wind blowing in. Snape knelt there, startled by Voldemort's sudden question.

Snape quickly went through his recent actions in his mind to confirm whether he had been exposed.

Then he said: "Master, as far as I know, all the secret passages leading to Hogwarts are blocked, and we have only one option to attack."

"What did your secret agent say?" Voldemort continued to ask, "Did you tell me about the recent movements of the members of the Order of the Phoenix?"

Snape once reported to Voldemort. He said that he had left a dark line in the Order of the Phoenix, and he could learn about some major moves of the Order of the Phoenix through Mundungus Fletcher.

For example, how the Order of the Phoenix transferred Harry Potter, who was about to come of age.

This is one of the reasons why Voldemort trusted Snape's intelligence, but not Runcorn.

In Voldemort's view, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​Harry Potter's greatest reliance.Voldemort also claimed to know Ada, and he thought Ada was not a person willing to make wedding dresses for others.

Such a person would not wholeheartedly help Harry Potter.

But in fact this dark line has nothing to do with Mundungus Fletcher, Snape's real dark line is Ada.All along, it was Ada who provided information to Snape.

Provide Snape with as much information as possible to keep him well-informed, to ensure he can get closer to Voldemort, and to create an opportunity to kill Nagini.

Ada is indeed not someone who can make a wedding dress for Harry, but she also aims to kill Voldemort.

"Master, the Order of the Phoenix still insists that Harry Potter is the key to victory, and only he can defeat you." Snape continued, "Their current task is to protect him. That's why Sirius Black is school to go to."

What Snape said coincided with Voldemort's thoughts.

To this day, the Dark Lord still considers Harry Potter the greatest threat to him.Not just because of Trelawney's prophecy, but more because Harry almost destroyed Voldemort once.

"Stupid idea, Severus. They think Potter is stronger than me, which is the stupidest idea in the world." Voldemort said grimly, "They will pay for their stupidity."

Bellatrix climbed two steps forward, and she said excitedly, "Master, I will kill them! No matter where they escape, I will find them and kill them!"

"No, Bella, you don't need to do that." Although he said no, Voldemort was very happy to hear that.

He continued: "They will go to Hogwarts, and when we attack the school, they will definitely come and die. I will kill Harry Potter, whom they regard as hope, in front of their faces! "

Voldemort's laugh was cruel and delightful. He had been waiting for this moment for 16 years.

Kill Harry Potter, kill the greatest threat that stands in your way, and from now on, Voldemort will be unstoppable!
"Let us witness this moment, my lord!" cried Rodolphus Lestrange. "There is nothing more delightful than destroying another's hope!"

Rodolphus was not only a pure-blood supremacist, he was also brutal, taking pleasure in torturing and torturing others.

This is confirmed by the fact that he voluntarily used the Cruciatus Curse to torture the Longbottoms to an unspeakably cruel degree.

Allegiance to Voldemort can satisfy Rodolphus' desire for tyranny and bloodthirsty, show his cruelty to his heart's content, and at the same time demonstrate the superiority of pure blood supremacy, the best of both worlds.

"Of course, Rodolphus, you will see," said Voldemort softly. "You will all see."

……

The night in November is cold and windy, and it seems that there will be a heavy snowfall at any time.

On such a cold night, we should have stayed in a warm room, sitting by the flaming fireplace, drinking a glass of wine comfortably, and lamenting the beauty of life.

But Bill Weasley didn't do that. He tightened the cloak that Fleur handed him, and braved the cold wind to patrol the small village at night.

According to historian Bathilda Bagshot, after the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was implemented in the 17th century, some wizarding families began to live "among tolerant, and sometimes confused, Muggles".

The small village where Bill lives is called Dingworth, a lonely and beautiful place on the coast of Cornwall, England.

It has been home to wizarding families since a long time ago, and it is here that famous arithmetician Bridget Wenlock lived and discovered the magic of the number "7".

Today, the Ministry of Magic has expanded Dingworth to accommodate and protect Muggle-born wizards and some half-blood wizards from the threat of Voldemort and Death Eaters.

Bill Weasley is both a member of the Order of the Phoenix and the son of the Minister of Magic, and his dual identity gives him more responsibility.

Therefore, Bill left the warm room on this cold and windy night, and inspected the guard posts in the village to ensure that the wizards living here would not be attacked by Death Eaters.

After walking a few steps, there was the first sentry post, which was responsible for guarding the coast, in case the Death Eaters entered the village from the coast behind the village.Guarded here are a middle-aged Auror from the Ministry of Magic, and a young Muggle-born wizard who volunteered to stand guard.

The two of them saw Bill coming, smiled and waved.Bill took out a small curved pot from his cloak, and the two of them each took out a cup. It seemed that the three of them had a tacit understanding.

Steaming coffee was poured out of the curved pot, which was just enough to warm up the frozen body.

The young wizard couldn't wait to take a big sip, it was so hot that his tongue dilated.

He mumbled, "Thank you so much Mrs. Weasley, without her I would have froze to death here the night before!"

Mrs. Weasley here is not Bill's mother, but his wife, Fleur Delacour, who should be called Fleur Weasley now.

When the weather is hot, Furong will prepare some ice drinks and distribute them free of charge to the sentries guarding the village, which can not only dispel the heat, but also prevent the guards from heatstroke.Now that the weather is cold, Fu Rong replaced the iced drink with a hot drink to keep everyone warm.

In Dingworth, Fleur is everyone's favorite.

Not because of her amazing beauty, or because she is the minister's eldest daughter-in-law, just because of her kindness.

Bill patted the young wizard's shoulder with a smile, and said, "You won't freeze to death. You can only die of old age in bed."

The middle-aged Auror was covering the cup with both hands. He didn't drink the hot coffee in a hurry, but wanted to warm his hands for a while.

He also smiled and said: "Bill is right, we will all see the day of victory. Well, Bill, go to the next place, if you delay for a while, you will only see two ice sculptures later .”

Bill stuffed the arc pot back into his cloak and moved towards the next sentry post. He wanted to bring this warmth to all the wizards guarding here.

Even with the expansion, the scope of Dingworth is not very large, and Bill soon reached the entrance of the village.

As soon as he got there, Bill found that there were a lot of people at the entrance of the village tonight, and he also saw a few familiar faces there - the one-eyed female Auror wearing a blindfold, and Sidorov who was following Ada , Hartmann.

Bill hurried over, wanting to ask what happened.

Before Bill could ask, the baby-faced Hartman took the initiative to say: "Mr. William Weasley, the Death Eaters are likely to raid Dingworth tonight, and we must make all defensive preparations."

As he spoke, a howling sound like a wolf came, accompanied by the sound of huge footsteps.

The attack of the Death Eaters has really come!
