Christmas 2012 was probably destined to be unpeaceful.

This year's Christmas Harry invited Sirius to the house for the holiday, and Lestrade and McCroft had no opinion on this, after all, that person was Harry's godfather, and he should be Harry's closest person besides them, and they hoped that Harry would also be loved by more people.

Sirius arrived at Reistride's house on Christmas Eve, and Lupin, who had been living in their house, left to visit some of the less radical werewolves because of the werewolves' movements, and to see if he could get any useful information.

So there was only one house-elf in the family, Blake, and gladly accepted Harry's invitation, and by the way, he pushed off the Christmas parties in those big families, and in Sirius's eyes, there was nothing more important than his godson.

He gave a gift to every little Lestrade, and Sirius probably had a good relationship with every little Lestrade because he had been at Lestrade's house for a while.

On Christmas Eve, everything was peaceful, and Harry had Dobby sneak over his gift to Draco.

He hoped that Draco would like it, albeit as a gift from their ordinary world.

Draco didn't know what to say about Harry's caution, but Harry did please him. Draco felt happy when he returned to his parents, but after all, he was still somewhere, and they couldn't contact Lestrade or Blake. This year's Christmas was only the three of them, and although it seemed a little lonely, it was a rare peace.

In the early hours of Christmas morning, Draco heard footsteps, he struggled to get up from the bed/, and when he opened the door, he saw Lucius coming downstairs, Draco squinted his eyes and glanced at the clock, what could make Lucius so anxious in the early hours of the morning.

He hurried downstairs and saw his mother standing beside his father, and the Malfoys didn't expect to wake up Draco.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Lucius looked at Draco and shook his head and nodded, he straightened his robes and said, "Go and rest." ”

In fact, there is no need for Lucius to say that Draco also knew that something was going on, and seeing Lucius's appearance should also be related to that person, otherwise no one would be able to let his father leave the house in the middle of the night.

Draco didn't speak, but he didn't follow Lucius's words either, he stood beside his mother, watched Lucius take his cane and prepared to leave, and said, "Father, goodbye." ”

Lucius looked at the grown child's pursed lips in a small arc, and he nodded and disappeared into front of Narcissa and Draco. Draco watched as his mother secretly took her hand, and Narcissa turned her head and touched Draco's head, "No problem, don't worry, it's just that that one might have to make some moves." ”

That person actually made a move at this time, Draco was surprised and immediately called the house-elf, what kind of nature their house was like Draco also knew in his heart, if that person made a move, he must find a way to inform Dumbledore.

What Dumbledore's influence on their family in the future comes from their attitude, isn't it?

Narcissa looked at Draco, who was handling things in an orderly manner, and while she was happy that Draco had grown up, she also felt that the baby who was obviously held in her and Lucius's hands had to experience such a cruel thing at such an age. She remembered that she and Lucius had said that they wanted their children to grow up like the most precious prince in the world, and not have to bear the burden of things that should not belong to him in the first place.

Who knew that the plan would never catch up with the changes, and before they knew it, their little prince grew up, learned to be responsible, and was more sensible, and was no longer the little boy who liked to pull the corners of her clothes and be spoiled.

"Little Dragon ......"

Draco heard his mother call him by his nickname, he waved his hand to tell the house-elf to hurry up and get errands, he came to Narcissa's side and crouched down beside her, and then gently rested his head on Narcissa's knees, which Draco would only do when he was very young, and when he grew up, because he had learned a lot of manners, he knew that it was very rude for Malfoy, so he rarely did it.

"Mom."

Narcissa smiled lightly as she looked at the coquettish Draco, "Our little dragon has grown up and become a big boy when Mom and Dad don't know it. ”

Draco shook his head, he was still the same Draco, never going to change.

"Mom, don't worry, I'll protect you and Dad."

If it weren't for wanting to protect his family, Draco wouldn't have forced himself to grow up all the time, he had already thought about it with Harry? Potter was bound to encounter a lot of things with him, and in order to be able to give them a guarantee, he would take over the responsibility of the entire family from Lucius after graduating from the seventh grade. On the one hand, it was to allow Lucius to enjoy more comfortable time, and on the other hand, it was also to provide him and Harry with an effective protection.

Voldemort called all the Death Eaters that night just to attack Azkaban, and although the defense should have been strengthened for the last escape, it was Christmas, wasn't it? It was a very important holiday for wizards and Muggles alike, and it was a day when the guards, no matter how strong, would relax.

Lucius stood at Voldemort's hand with a mask on his face, and after Pettigrew's capture, he became the man's most trusted person, and now no one can shake his position. He looked at the man who came to him and nodded slightly, this time it happened so suddenly, suddenly Lucius didn't even have time to go to Dumbledore.

However, even if Dumbledore was informed, Lucius believed that it would not have much effect, after all, Voldemort was prepared, and he must bring all the Dementors to his side. By the way, Voldemort thought that his faithful servant was also likely to be in Azkaban, and he was ready to execute him himself in order to prevent Pettigrew from leaking more information.

You see Voldemort is so cruel, obviously Pettigrew gave up his life to do a lot of things, but in the end he is still a pawn discarded by him.

Fudge heard in his sleep about the attack on Azkaban, and most of the criminals in it escaped, the most important thing was that all the Dementors who were Azkaban had disappeared, and it was reported that they did not resist in this war against the Death Eaters, and even followed in the footsteps of the mysterious man.

In other words, the Dementors, who had been loyal to the Ministry of Magic, had mutinied.

Fudge nearly fell to the ground when he heard Azkaban being attacked again, and when he arrived, his robes were unusually messy, with a large Death Eater mark above Azkaban, a larger Dark Mark than he had seen at the Quidditch World Cup a year earlier.

Fudge's mind went blank until Dumbledore came to his side.

Dumbledore's face was also very bad, although the elves of the Malfoy family came to inform him of this at the first moment, but they were not as prepared as Voldemort, and when the Order of the Phoenix arrived, they only saw a shadow of Voldemort leaving, and the group of Dementors who followed him.

Apparently Voldemort had seen him, too, but this time his student didn't stop at all.

Dumbledore looked at half of Voldemort's face, which was said to have been destroyed after the last battle in London.

"Don't you still admit that Voldemort has returned? #吉. ”

Fudge shook his body, that name and that name was a nightmare, wasn't it, why did everyone tell him that Voldemort had returned. Fudge glanced up at the Dark Mark that was still in the sky, the huge green skeleton, and told him that this level of Dark Mark was not something that ordinary Death Eaters could use.

The Dark Mark is the same as the Death Eater's arm that changes with Voldemort's strength.

"Don't say that name anymore."

He felt himself screaming, but immediately collected his mood, he nodded to Dumbledore and said, "I still have something to attend to, Dumbledore just take care of himself." ”

He does have a lot to do, tomorrow ...... The matter of Azkaban could not be hidden, and whether he would announce his resignation or continue to deny the return of that man was decided tonight. Fudge stopped the Aurors from starting a hunt for Voldemort, but said nothing about Voldemort, and wanted the fugitives from Azkaban.

His left and right hands also heard the news, and she walked into the ruins step by step in a pink trench coat, Umbridge frowned at all this, and Fudge said, "I'm going to admit that the man is back...... I can't lie to myself anymore, he, he's really back. ”

Umbridge looked at Fudge and thought he was just frightened, and that after going down from this position, what awaited them wouldn't be good, and besides, would the Death Eaters be able to beat him without the position of minister/chief?

"Minister/Chief, you can't admit it, if you do, you'll be following Dumbledore's wishes, as long as you're sure you're the Death Eater leader Pettigrew? What Peter did, it was enough to increase the reward in public. ”

Umbridge and Fudge are grasshoppers on a rope, and she knows what Fudge's resignation is for herself, so she can't let this person leave politics for her own sake.

Harry slept lightly, he heard the movement in the living room and got up, and saw Sirius who was changing clothes, Sirius looked at his godson and hugged him and said regretfully, "I'm sorry Harry, I was supposed to spend Christmas with you, but I have something to go now." ”

"What happened?"

Harry asked, looking at his godfather.

"That man has attacked Azkaban."

With that, Sirius apparitioned, and Harry glanced at Dad and Mycroft, who were already up, with a nervous look on their faces.

McCroft touched his chin and said, "Although I thought he would do it this holiday, I didn't expect it to be in the early hours of Christmas." ”

"Tomorrow's newspaper is about to explode."

Harry answered, he had already thought of what might happen tomorrow, whether Fudge's Ministry of Magic would be looking for a reason this time was a matter of Harry's relationship. The early morning attack...... Apparently they didn't expect it, and probably that person had already succeeded.

Lestrade yawned and nudged the lively Mycroft and motioned for him to say something, Harry visibly worried.

Mycroft took his fiancé's hand and turned into the room, then patted the pillow and said, "Let the filial son worry about it himself, let's sleep, tomorrow is an important Christmas." ”

He's already prepared for something, and besides, this matter doesn't involve their world yet, and now Mycroft is just waiting for a speech from the Ministry of Magic tomorrow morning, and if Fudge resigns immediately, he'll applaud and say goodbye, but if that person is still obsessed, don't blame him for using the chess pieces in his hand, Pettigrew? Peter is a good boy who has something to answer now, isn't he?

The next morning, Draco watched as his father, who had returned with Frost, had called the house-elves to prepare hot water and breakfast, he hadn't slept all night the previous night, and after trying to convince Narcissa to sleep, he had been sitting in the hall waiting for his father to follow him. Finally Lucius came back with nothing to do, and he stood up to meet him, and whispered to Daddy.

Lucius didn't say anything and touched Draco's head again, there was so much going on tonight, the man already had enough helpers, he didn't want to wait any longer, he was ready to ...... Attacked.

Lucius looked at his wife and son at the table, some things came to his lips and swallowed back, that man had gone completely crazy, he put his hand on the other Death Eaters in order to test the Dementor's loyalty to himself, the Dementors were really terrifying, Lucius had a feeling of imminent death when the Dementors attacked.

"Merry Christmas."

The Malfoy family's Christmas morning greetings.

Dumbledore tossed aside the Daily Prophet's newspaper, and now that all the Order of the Phoenix except Snape had gathered at Sirius' house, Dumbledore looked a little old, and he sat there and said to everyone present, "Tom must be going to make a move, get ready." ”

Werewolf. Giants and Dementors, either of them are extremely tricky, and with the prisoners who escaped from prison, it is conservatively estimated that Voldemort has enough people to use in his hands to compete with them.

Just then there was a knock on the door, and Snape entered the room with a white face, he didn't seem to be in good spirits. Sirius frowned, Snape should have been involved in the battle just now, but he seemed to have experienced other things, in fact, Sirius felt very familiar when he looked at Snape's state.

He opened the door and said something to old Kreacher outside, in the eyes of everyone, and heard the old house-elf answer, and after a while he gave Sirius a cup of hot cocoa and a few pieces of chocolate.

Sirius put something in front of Snape, "You might need this. ”

Snape glanced at Sirius, it seemed that this man knew what he was going through, he did feel cold now, they had all become targets of the Dementors, Voldemort didn't care about his Death Eaters anymore, in his opinion, the Death Eaters were just one of his dogs, ready to take their lives.

He didn't say thank you to that person, although hot cocoa was not his favorite type, but at this time, he felt alive after drinking a drink.

Snape paused and began to talk about what Voldemort had done today, everything had happened too suddenly.

"He's already set his sights on the Ministry of Magic, and that man is ready to ...... Tell everyone in a loud voice that he's back. ”

Snape sneered, it was Fudge's annoyance that made Voldemort set his target as the Ministry of Magic, plus the Ministry of Magic is a symbol of the entire British wizard, destroying it would show his great ability, after the Battle of London, that person's thoughts were getting more and more crazy.

"Ministry of Magic? Fudge wouldn't believe that. ”

However, Dumbledore thought that if Voldemort's first target was the Ministry of Magic, Fudge could not help but pay attention to Voldemort's return.

"And Hogwarts, but even he can't do anything about Hogwarts magic right now."

Probably because of the loss they suffered on Harry last time, so this time in Voldemort's plan, the Muggle world and Harry? Potter was his last target, and he was ready to attack the Muggles after taking control of the entire wizarding world, and he would push Harry to the edge of the cliff and make Harry compromise himself.

In fact, both Muggles and wizards have their own important people, and he will make Harry feel the feeling of losing his attention once again.

"What time is it?"

Snape shook his head, he didn't say the time, given that the man didn't trust them completely.

Dumbledore sat in his chair and took a deep breath, he was going to meet someone, if Voldemort was targeting the entire Ministry of Magic then they would have to stop it, Fudge would not pay attention to the fact that person came back, unless he stepped down.

Dumbledore said something that needed to be prepared lately, and everyone needed to be in a state of preparedness for what could happen at any time.

He believed that Voldemort's next attack would be so unexpected.

Snape leaned back in his chair, and after a night of not closing his eyes, he met the Dementors again, and even he didn't have much energy, and he closed his eyes there to recuperate, and he ignored the others to leave.

Sirius sighed as he looked at the man sitting there after sending the others away, and he said something to Kreacher, who looked at the wizard sitting there and nodded, and immediately went about his work. Sirius walked over to Snape's side, the hot cocoa was already over, and the chocolate had eaten a few pieces, and it looked like the man was going to be exhausted......

He had always known that Voldemort was vicious, but he never thought that Voldemort would use Dementors on his own men.

"Severus ......"

Snape opened his eyes suddenly, he looked around and saw that everyone had left and stood up, he didn't want to stay with this man for too long. It's just that he didn't sleep all night because he stood up too fast, and he actually felt a little dizzy in his head, Sirius helped him and said, "I have prepared a guest room for you, you better rest first before leaving." ”

In view of the previous contradictions between the two men, Snape looked at Sirius with some defensiveness, some things could not be forgotten, and the memory of that humiliation had always been reluctant to be remembered in Snape's depths. Even after all these years, those memories have not dissipated.

"I ...... There's no way to hurt you, and if you don't believe me, you can look at my brain. ”

Sirius looked like a scoundrel, Snape stared at his eyes for a long time, suddenly turned around and strode away, by the way, called Kreacher's name, and asked him to lead him to the guest room, he really needed to rest, Snape didn't know if he could stick to home, so it was actually the best choice here.

Sirius looked at the man's back and sighed, because he was kind enough to temporarily take Severus in? Snape, so his Christmas is destined to be missing Harry, but Dumbledore went to see Mycroft? Sherlock Holmes reckoned that Christmas in the entire Lestrade family wouldn't be too good.

Harry watched as the professor sitting on the couch placed the teacup in front of him, and the rest of the Lestrades went back to their rooms for the time being, leaving the living room for the suddenly arriving guest and Mycroft. Mycroft listened to what Dumbledore said and nodded, in fact, if someone touched Buckingham Palace, he would not agree, as a country or the last real power and representative place in the world, if it was attacked, it would undoubtedly make everyone feel uneasy.

Although the Ministry of Magic did not do very well, if Voldemort succeeded, it would probably ...... The insurance in the wizard's heart is about to be broken.

"I know what you mean, and I think exactly what I think, I'll take Pettigrew? Peter gave it to you for the time being, but I have two conditions, the first is Pettigrew? Peter's life and death are ultimately determined by our government, and the second is that I will be in attendance at the Wizengamot trial. ”

The Wizengamot is the highest court in the wizarding world, this court is composed of about fifty members, and the supreme officer is called the chief magician of the Wizengamot, and the current chief magician is Albus? Dumbledore, he's been in this position for a long time, which is why he was able to keep Snape's relationship before.

And Malfoy's attention to Dumbledore has something to do with his identity.

Dumbledore looked at the smiling Mycroft and said yes slowly. 166 Reading Network
