329 On the eve of the Great War
Lucius has always been a person who has never fallen into the trap and will not add to the cake.
After Lucius said this, Noether was stunned, and when he saw Voldemort looking at him, he immediately stood up and didn't know what to say, did he want to say that he didn't know what to do? And the last time he begged Lucius to let Draco? Malfoy gave Theodore some advice before he got the job done.
If these things were to be said, his current position would be ruined.
Judging from the current situation, they have a great opportunity to stand in the right place and people, as long as they continue to attack, the entire magical world will be in their pockets, and even the whole world.
But as Lucius said, the most difficult thing they face now is the Order of the Phoenix, and if the Order of the Phoenix falls, then their path forward will be smoother.
It's just that......
"Knott, do you have any ideas?"
Voldemort looked at him with a smile, Nott swallowed his saliva, he didn't know where he provoked Lucius, this person would stumble himself in the back, is it because now the master values him?
"I ......"
He was there for a long time, but he didn't say half a word, Voldemort looked at him and frowned and said that his men are really a group of people without brains, Nott is a stupid person, if it comes to using a handful Voldemort thinks that Lucius is more comfortable, but this person is trying to push Nott out is also interesting.
Voldemort's fingers tapped a rhythm on the chair, and Nott swallowed his saliva and looked at his colleagues, but they obviously didn't want to stop it, and Nott secretly scolded Lucius for being hypocritical, knowing that such a difficult thing should be done by himself.
"Master, I think if it's the Order of the Phoenix, we can break each one, everyone has weaknesses, we just need to catch their weaknesses."
People, when they are forced to be in a hurry, their brains are actually the fastest running, and now they don't know if they probably know what kind of people are in the Order of the Phoenix, as long as they use them, they don't worry about breaking them one by one.
Looking at Notte's flattering expression, Lucius sneered in his heart,
It's a great plan, but given Voldemort's imminent attack, it's just a matter of stalling for time.
Lucius still has some use in keeping Notte, and if Voldemort suspects himself later, he can also use Notte as a shield, so that the plan to delay time does not put the identity of a spy on him, and he is sorry for Lucius's help to him during this time.
"Lucius, my friend, what do you think of this plan?"
When Voldemort pointed the finger at him, Lucius thought for a moment and said, "I think it's still possible." ”
He just followed Voldemort's words, and if that person got into trouble, he would just be implicated in passing, Voldemort nodded in agreement, he looked at Noether standing there and said, "This matter will be left to you, I hope you can bring me some satisfactory gifts." ”
Notch said with a puff that he could get this thing done.
When they were ready to leave, Nott followed Lucius closely, and he lowered his voice and said in a grim voice, "It seems that Mr. Malfoy has a big prejudice against me." ”
Lucius cocked his head and chuckled, "I'm just giving you a chance, Nott." ”
It's you who want to climb up, so it's up to you to bear how much faith there is on this road and how dangerous it is.
Noether gritted his teeth but didn't dare to say anything, and if Lucius had told the two of them about the deal at the time, his ability would have been questioned immediately.
Lucius didn't care what Nott was thinking, he turned around and invited Snape to his house for dinner, it was the weekend, and Snape didn't have to stay at school. Snape looked at Lucius and nodded slowly, the two of them were well-known, so even if he invited Snape, he wouldn't suspect anything.
Snape and Lucius apparitions together to Malfoy's manor, he saw Narcissa sitting in the middle of the hall reading a book, Narcissa was obviously a little surprised by Snape's arrival, she looked at the two of them and said, "Severus? ”
Snape nodded to Narcissa, both of them looking a little serious, making Narcissa a little worried about what had happened in today's meeting.
"That guy wants to move the Order of the Phoenix, but that idiot of Nott has taken care of everything."
In fact, it was not so much that Noether took the past, but that Lucius forced him to snatch everything. Narcissa looked at the smile on Lucius's face and said softly, "So Nott gave himself an impossible task?" ”
Lucius nodded, "It's not impossible, it's just that he's going to do it." ”
Snape is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix, this time he needs to pass on the news, delay Nott's time as much as possible, and it is best to disrupt all of Voldemort's plans, Voldemort is not having a good time now, you must know that the Dementors, werewolves, and giants behind him all need a lot of financial and material resources to maintain.
Dementors need fear, while werewolves and giants need to eat.
There have been several conflicts now, and although they will also take some money from the family and give it to Voldemort, it is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled.
"Actually, there is no time for Nott to break through the Order of the Phoenix step by step, and that one is also under a lot of pressure now."
If it's money, the Malfoys actually have it, but that doesn't mean that they can always take out their own money to fill that person's bottomless pit, and that person didn't say that he needed money because of pride, although he likes luxury, he's also an arrogant person, isn't it.
"There's nothing wrong with Severus School, right?"
As a mother, Narcissa was still worried about Draco's safety, but they were all under Voldemort's nose, and they couldn't put their children at home like everyone else, and both Lucius and Narcissa knew that the real safe place now was actually the school.
In addition to the professors, there was also Harry who had promised them to protect Draco, and they knew that Harry would do what he said he would do.
Snape shook his head, the school was safe now, but no one knew when it would be safe.
"Draco is training all the Slytherin students right now, Theodore has been isolated by Draco, and he doesn't want Theodore to brainwash more people."
Narcissa hung her head, Draco's list was heavier than they thought it was, wasn't it.
"Harry? Potter's side was fully prepared, and Draco and I said that if there was a real war, there would be a lot of people among them who could be used. ”
The soldiers who stayed behind were all willing to participate in the cruel war that followed, and they believed in Harry, and they believed in Hogwarts, and even more so in the old man who had died.
In short, the school is now preparing for the safety of the students.
When Severus returned to Hogwarts, he saw the nasty ghost standing in front of his office door, he looked at the man and frowned, and asked coldly, "Sirius?" Blake, what are you doing here? ”
"I'm waiting for you."
Sirius said with an innocent face, could it be that standing in front of his office he was going to have a barbecue?
Apparently Snape didn't want to pay attention to the man, and just as he was about to enter the room, the man rubbed himself in.
"I'm actually here to ask you...... Did that person say anything today? ”
Sirius didn't believe much that Snape was on the Order of the Phoenix's side before, but with a Malfoy, not everything was absolute. He saw that Snape had come back so late, and thought something had happened, so he went in and asked.
Snape didn't let him sit either, he rubbed his temples, if it was Sirius, then he didn't need to pass on the news, although this person was usually unreliable, but he still had ability.
"They want to take action against the Order of the Phoenix, grasp/break the weaknesses one by one."
Sirius pulled the stool himself, "You speak slowly. ”
Then he remembered if the man hadn't eaten dinner, and whispered if he wanted to talk while eating, and Snape shook his head and said that he had dinner with Lucius and Narcissa that evening.
After Snape had said everything briefly,
Sirius sighed, if this is the case, it is true that many people in the Order of the Phoenix will encounter danger, such as the Weasleys, and a few of their little Weasleys are Achilles' heels.
"It looks like we need to be ready before that guy makes a move, to hide all the weaknesses."
It was easier said than done, as Snape told Sirius what he had told Lucius, to delay as much time as possible and disrupt the man's entire plans, otherwise werewolves, giants, and Dementors plus Death Eaters would not be able to attack even if they were prepared. Sirius looked at the man and nodded, he would inform Dumbledore immediately, and then secretly inform all the members of the Order of the Phoenix about it.
The plan could not keep up with the rapid change, although they took precautions, but still several members of the Order of the Phoenix were killed a week later, and the danger of each step proved that the big war was coming, and everyone knew that Voldemort could not wait, not only the people of the Order of the Phoenix, but also many people in the Ministry of Magic who mysteriously disappeared.
In the wizarding world, apart from applying to go to other countries, the only safe place turned out to be Hogwarts, probably because that person had other plans for Hogwarts, so no one in Hogwarts, either professors or students, has disappeared yet.
Dumbledore had gone to see an old friend during the break, he hadn't seen it in a long time, and this time it was probably a goodbye, and no one knew what the chances of a Death Eater would be to be safe for all of them.
He smiled as he looked at the man who was also aging, she had experienced two great battles in the wizarding world, one was brought by Voldemort and the other was brought by the person in front of him, this person was the first generation of the Dark Lord.
They talked a lot, and Dumbledore looked at the man with a wisp of his beard and said goodbye. The man smiled and nodded, "I'm looking forward to our next meeting, my old friend." ”
Voldemort is becoming more and more dissatisfied with Nott's recent behavior, his actions are really slow, just like Lucius said behind their backs, Voldemort wants to use the power of giants and werewolves will have to pay some costs, including dealing with their food and shelter.
The giants have a huge appetite, and the werewolves are unrestrained, so although the two can maintain a short-term peace, there will be small friction in the long run, and the three dementors have actually caused a lot of trouble for Voldemort.
I don't know if God also wants to let Nott live, this person actually captured an unexpected figure, the respected minister/chief from the Ministry of Magic - Rufus? Scrimgeour.
In fact, it was also an accident that Noether was able to catch/catch him, just like he himself said, everyone has their own weaknesses, like most of their weaknesses are in the child, he caught/caught Rufus? Scrimgeour's son threatens him to come alone.
Rufus? Although Scrimgeour wants to protect the entire wizarding world, if he can't even protect his own children, how can he protect so many people.
So here he comes......
Voldemort watched as the man standing below stood up, and he walked around the man, his pet spitting out letters at his side, as if he wanted to eat the man at any moment. Rufus? Scrimgeour had no hope of surviving when he was caught again, and his only request was not to implicate Scrimgeour Jr.
After all, he was also an Auror, no matter what kind of torture he received, he would not tell the secrets of the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic, even if Voldemort wanted to use what he saw in his mind, he was blocked again and again by the Occlumency Technique.
Rufus? Scrimgeour's death became the beginning of the Third World War. Scrimgeour was found three days after his disappearance, his body hanging in front of the door of the Ministry of Magic, all covered in scars and his eyes wide open into the distance.
Dumbledore and Rufus? Scrimgeur's death left the wizarding world in a leaderless state, and it was at this time that Voldemort finally couldn't resist the spearhead against Hogwarts, if he could control the whole of Hogwarts, the other wizards would bow their heads for their children.
Because of the disappearance of the members of the Order of the Phoenix and Rufus? Scrimgeour died, and the fighters of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix moved into Hogwarts immediately. Theodore had been completely isolated by Draco at this time, but the man was immersed in his own world and couldn't extricate himself, and he remembered that he had a task that he hadn't completed.
In addition to Dumbledore, there was also a Thor that made that man jealous? Odinson, if he can put Saul? If Odinson also solves it, then everything will be easy.
Three days before the Great War began, Professor Trelawney had a dream that could be divided into light and darkness, and that true magic was about to return to their land, but the magic of light brought about a darker world, and the two went hand in hand.
No one believed Trelawney's prophecy, and no one knew what the real magic meant, so they weren't using magic.
Two days before the battle, Lucius had already given accurate information that Voldemort was preparing to launch a final attack in the early hours of the morning two days later, and Hogwarts was also preparing for defensive detection. Harry and Draco went on a date at this time, and both of them were uneasy.
Because of Draco's special status, as long as Lucius didn't leak, the Death Eaters wouldn't make up Draco's mind.
Harry held Draco's hand tightly, if Draco didn't need to worry, then Harry was the one who needed special attention, he was the one who was said to be the one who might defeat Voldemort.
"I trust you, Harry."
Draco didn't know why, he had an unusual trust in this man, probably because he was ...... Harry? Potter. Harry pulled the man over and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips, his hand resting on Draco's chest, feeling the man's beating heart.
Harry shook his head, shaking the thought of Draco as his own, wondering why he actually did something bad for Draco.
"When the big war begins, you'd better take refuge in the Room of Requirement, and the little wizards inside will be taken care of by you, and we will set up the strongest defenses in the Room of Requirement, and by the way, the food inside is also ready, so don't worry about that."
The less able, as well as the young wizards, were required to take refuge in the Room of Requirement at the beginning of the Great War, where Harry had repeatedly confirmed the safety of the house-elves and had prepared food for at least ten days or so just in case the house-elves had been preparing food for at least ten days or so.
There's no way Draco could be on the battlefield and openly stand against that man, so Harry gave him the Room of Requirement, with two professors by his side. It may seem that this is the least dangerous thing to hide, but such an undanger is to act on the basis of their standing on the winning side.
If Harry they lose...... So what exactly the consequences were, Draco didn't think about either.
"I know, just leave it to me."
Harry would have liked to have this man alongside him, they could have given the other their backs to each other, just because of the trust they had in each other, but this time they had to do this for the safety of Draco and the Malfoy family.
Now the defense spell is being set up, they need to try to consume the magic of the Death Eaters, by the way, Hogwarts Castle is not suitable for war, in the two days of the war, with Hogwarts as the center of the circle, a huge wall appeared around it, based on the city wall, all the wizards on it worked together to set up two layers of peace guard.
Harry rubbed his temples, wondering if it had been Merlin's magic rampage lately, Harry felt something coming out of his body.
Mention Merlin...... Harry couldn't help but think of Merlin's strangeness during this time, he seemed to have the same dream every day, and when asked he would only mention that he saw the endless darkness, and that someone had brought him into the water.
The war in the wizarding world is disdainful of using ordinary human things, and Mycrof was going to help in this regard, but unfortunately those people did not accept it.
Mycroft was also helpless, the ministry/chief of the Ministry of Magic he had cultivated was so dead, and it was impossible to decide who the current minister/chief would be for a while, he originally wanted to call Harry and them home, but they refused, and the little wizards of the Lestrade family knew that if Voldemort didn't die, it would be dangerous anywhere.
The night before the war, Harry wiped his wand and a hand/gun, and if the wizards didn't bother with cold weapons, let him carry them. Harry breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the brothers who were sitting there and playing, they looked carefree, Merlin was eating a snack, he was tired today, Harry pulled him to check all the devices in the room again.
Arthur sat there and rolled with Merlin, and for a moment there was only their voices in the common room.
There were less than twenty-four hours left before Voldemort attacked.
Harry snorted as he looked at the lifeless common room, looked at his classmates and said, "Why are you so down, do you really think we don't have a chance to win?" ”
No one answered Harry's words, and their hearts were indeed uncertain, very uncertain.
"We're going to win, isn't it Harry."
Hermione, cheering, spoke, and looked at Harry for Harry to nod.
"We will win, we can only win, we must win."
If you lose, you have nothing, everything you have. 166 Reading Network
