Chapter 667: Brutal War (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Tickets)

Ryan's prediction was not an act of unfounded fear, and the next morning after he had disarmed Harry from the piece of Voldemort's soul that had been attached to him. There was extremely bad news in the newspapers.

"Let me see what's in the news today?" After eating breakfast brought by the house-elves, Hermione sat on the edge of the small living room of the room and began to read today's Britannia Magical News. "Front-page news, it's- damn it!, how could they do that?" Hermione exclaimed as she read the front page of the newspaper, her tone filled with a certain disbelief and extreme anger.

"What's going on, Hermione?" Ryan saw that something was wrong, and put down the black tea in his hand to look at Hermione, only to see Hermione holding the newspaper in her hand with red eyes, and at the same time the hand holding the newspaper was trembling slightly.

"Look at the news. Hermione handed over the paper, the front page written in large blood-red letters. "Death Eater's revenge, the massacre in the village of Poka. "Below was a burning room, and a torn stuffed toy bear was thrown on the floor in front of it.

- Yesterday the Death Eaters gathered to slaughter a Muggle village, killing 46 people. The oldest is 74 years old and the youngest is six months. In addition to this, 17 people suffered irreversible damage. As he read the words, Ryan felt a fire burning in his chest. He slammed the newspaper to the ground, "Since they're not human, I don't think there's any need to treat them the way they do." ”

"You're right. Hermione took a deep breath and regained her composure. "I think there are some things that those dark wizards have not experienced, which is why they dare to do evil so without fear. ”

After gathering a little bit of emotion, Ryan and Hermione walked out of their room. At this time, many students had finished breakfast and were getting ready to go to class or go back to the common room, and the hallway was full of people.

At breakfast, the owl would give the day's newspaper to everyone, so Ryan could hear the students discussing the news that had just been published in the newspaper. This morning's news came as a big shock to them, after all, the students who stayed here now were not the kind of extreme blood-theoretics, even if they were pure-blooded families, they might not normally think that Muggles were as good as wizards, but they at least thought that Muggles were human like wizards.

So after seeing this terrible news, many girls had red circles in their eyes, and some boys were gritting their teeth and scolding the Death Eaters who did such things. When Ryan and the others walked into the foyer, they saw a Hufflepuff girl sitting by the wall covering her face and crying, while several people around her stood beside her to comfort him.

"What's going on here?" Ryan asked Hannah Abbott, a member of the reading club who was comforting her classmates. "Why is she crying so sadly?"

"Because of the news in the morning in the British Magical Newspaper. After discovering that it was Ryan who asked her, Hannah Abbott sighed and then spoke slowly. Mary was a hemp wizard, and her uncle, aunt and nephew were all killed in the tragedy in the village of Poka. ”

Unlike the previous Daily Prophet's style, the British Wizards newspaper did not report a simple number of Muggle casualties as before, but devoted a page to the names, ages, and occupations of the Muggles who were killed, as was the case with the wizards who were killed. That's why this Hufflepuff girl would be the first to hear the news of her loved one's death after reading the newspaper.

This was the rule that Ryan had set with Hermione, who thought it was easy to ignore the past in the original Daily Prophet's practice of a single number of Muggle deaths. With a few simple personal information, the victims go from a simple number to a living person, which allows everyone to truly understand the sins of the Death Eaters.

Now it seems that the publicity effect has indeed been achieved. Ryan could see everyone in Hogwarts discussing the cruelty of the Death Eaters. Although for Ryan, this kind of propaganda news is not what they want to see.

"Rest assured, those dark wizards will definitely be punished as they deserve. I swear to you. While Ryan was considering the newspaper, Hermione walked up to the little witch named Mary and knelt down on one knee and held her hand, comforting, "No evil man can get away with it." ”

With that, Hermione stood up and pulled Ryan out of the foyer and down the road towards the outside of the school gate. What they didn't notice, though, was that as they walked out of the castle gates, Headmaster Dumbledore was standing in front of his office window watching them.

"Albus, won't you stop them?" After a clatter of woods, Moody, who had just returned from Azkaban on an errand, limped behind Dumbledore. "Haven't you noticed it now? You two students are barely alive in the middle of the fight. I'm a little worried that they will cause a lot of casualties when they go out this time. ”

"Alasto, you're worrying too much. Dumbledore replied, turning his head to look at Moody. "I believe they are not the kind of people who kill innocents indiscriminately. At least in the last time at the Ministry of Magic, even if the situation was so cramped, they had only killed the Death Eaters who had human lives on their hands, and would rather risk being exposed than sparing the clerk in the Inquisition. ”

"But as you once said, killing changes a person's mind. "Moody's is still grim. "If the price of eliminating a Dark Lord is to create a new generation of Dark Lords, then what's the point of what we're doing?"

"What we have to do now is to believe in them and trust that these two children are not going astray. Dumbledore nodded slowly, then said, "Trust and love are the only things we can really rely on, and unwarranted suspicion only deepens the gap between people, and that's exactly what Voldemort needs." ”

What's more, the minds of those two children are far from being comparable to their ordinary peers. I could feel their wills being tenacious, and they weren't going to be twisted by just killing. Dumbledore smiled relaxedly. "So you really don't need to worry too much, by the way, you're coming from Azkaban this time and you need-"

Seeing that Dumbledore didn't want to talk about this topic, Moody could only let go of his worries and began to talk to Dumbledore about 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 subject of discussion, had already left the confines of Hogwarts Castle.

"Where shall we go now?" After leaving the castle, the two men left the road and went into the forest at the edge of the castle. After making sure there was no one around, Hermione asked Ryan. "The next step for the Dark Wizards who did that kind of cruel thing should be to retaliate and warn others not to involve these innocent people in the war. But the most important problem we have now is that we don't know the details of the attackers, and we don't even know who the participants are other than that they were the Death Eaters. ”

"So the first step is to gather intelligence. Ryan said. "Let's go back to the manor for the next two days, and the fewer people we know about our actions after that, the better. So it's important to isolate yourself first to avoid getting the news out. As for the information, I think I have enough to get what we want to know. ”

"Hopefully, we can get accurate intelligence in a short period of time. Hermione said. "Because the origins of the Death Eaters are so complicated now, I fear that some of them will make enough gold to leave England. ”

"Don't worry, Hermione. Ryan smiled. "It's not like we're just staying in the UK and not leaving, it's a big deal to follow them to other places. I guarantee that no one will get away with the punishment they deserve. ”
