Chapter 195: Old Grievances at Hogwarts (36)

Draco said: "My father didn't go into details, but he said that in the past few days he had been in contact with a few more senior and high-ranking Death Eaters, and they asked me if I was in contact with Karkaroff, and after my father denied it, they said some details, and those details were mentioned in the letter, so I suspect that the content of the letter has been leaked."

Phyllis rubbed her cup and didn't speak, and after a long moment asked, "Does this matter have no effect on your father's plans?" Lucius's self-confidence had regained a lot since he had met the Dark Lord with the news that Phyllis was willing to lean towards Voldemort, and he was running around England trying to establish himself as a Death Eater.

Draco hesitated and said, "It will have some effect, but he didn't say anything in the letter, just told me the message." "For the Death Eaters, Karkaroff was a traitor, and at this time it was rumored that his son was in contact with the traitors of the Death Eaters, which did cause some trouble for Lucius's plan, but it was only some trouble.

Phyllis nodded and said, "I see." As he spoke, he stood up and planned to go back to sleep, but then he thought that Draco had just received this message and ran to tell him that this was his mind again, and it didn't seem good for him to just go away.

Thinking of this, Phyllis asked, "Do you think Karkaroff leaked that information?" ”

"I think yes, we were very careful on our side, we didn't leave any written messages except for the few letters to Karkaroff, and I don't think anyone would have been negligent in telling the story for others to hear, so I think the source of the leak should be on Karkaroff's side," said Drake. ”

Phyllis said: "So you think Karkaroff accidentally leaked this information?" ”

Before the words "Of course ......" were finished, Drake was not so confident, he had only thought that the connection between them and Karkaroff was very hidden, but he did not expect that this concealment was only one-sided. Of course they have to hide, a few Hogwarts students have secret connections with former Death Eaters, and they definitely won't get well after this news leaks out, although they won't be expelled, but isolation is certain, there are too many students' families here who have been torn apart because of the war that Voldemort started, you must know that they have been in the same boat, that is the fate of the street rats. But they didn't take into account that this secret was nothing to Karkarov, and even if it was leaked, it would not be a big deal, at most it would make people laugh at a headmaster who actually asked a few children for help, but what was it?

Seeing that Draco was hesitant and didn't know what to say, Phyllis knew that he had understood, and asked, "Do you remember what I told you at the beginning?" ”

Drake hurriedly said: "Remember, the correspondence with Karkaroff was carried out in my name, and he would never have noticed that there were other people involved. "This is what Professor Kate had warned them before, and this matter must not involve anyone else in the open.

Phyllis said, "That's fine, nothing will happen." "Everyone knows that wizards born in Slytherin have always been inclined to Voldemort, and even among the current students, there are many people who worship this powerful demon king, and at the same time, the family belonging to Slytherin is relatively least affected by the war, after all, compared to the Death Eaters, the Order of the Phoenix is still very disciplined, they will not harm their families, and they will not deliberately kill innocents, and the hatred for Voldemort and the hatred for war Slytherin is far less intense than that of the other three houses. In this case, it doesn't matter much even if this matter is revealed, but if others know that Hermione is a Gryffindor, Leah is a Ravenclaw, and William is a Hufflepuff is also involved with Death Eaters, it will be a huge blow to their prestige in their own college, and this blow will be almost devastating.

Hearing Professor Kate say this, Drake thought about it and understood, and at the same time broke out in a cold sweat. In the letter, Karkaroff had asked if any of the other students knew of the connection, because he felt that several of the letters were not written by the same person. It was true, although it was nominally only Drake himself who was in contact with Karkaroff, but all the letters were actually written by the four of them together, and they would agree on what information they wanted to reveal in the letters, and then one of the organizations would write them down. The person who drafted the letters was not fixed, and although it still had to be copied by Draco in the end, everyone had a different tendency to use words, and if you were sensitive to this and studied it carefully, you would indeed find that these letters were not written by one person. Derack didn't pay much attention to Karkaroff's question, and it was only because of Professor Kate's richness that he insisted that all the letters were written by himself, and no one was involved.

Looking at Draco's expression, Phyllis knew that they didn't understand why she was making such a request before, and she said, "Now you understand? ”

Draco looked down and said, "Understood." ”

Phyllis said, "What would happen if Karkaroff knew that Leah, Hermione, and William were involved? ”

"This will be a lever for the rest of us, and Karkaroff can use it to threaten us," Derack said. ”

Phyllis nodded and said, "It's good to understand, pay more attention in the future, the kind of people who have experienced the wind and waves are not so easy to fool." ”

Draco said honestly, "Got it." ”

Phyllis changed her posture to a more comfortable position and said, "So tell me now, why did Karkaroff leak this information?" ”

Drake thought for a moment and asked cautiously, "Is this for others to see?" ”

Of course, this is not nonsense! Phyllis rolled her eyes in her heart, but on the surface she continued expressionlessly: "Then who did you tell him for?" ”

His companions have not been exposed, and even if they do, Karkaroff will only threaten them to earn benefits, and will not be so directly promoted, so it is not for the wizarding world, according to Dad's letter, this news is only spreading in a small area among the Death Eaters, so to speak...... Draco replied, "He's here for the Death Eaters." ”

Phyllis said, "Why? ”

"It's for those Death Eaters to think it's ......" In order to avoid thinking too long and making Professor Kate impatient, Drake said as he thought, "I thought ......" thought that he hadn't said anything for a long time.

Phyllis prompted, "Think about the state of the Death Eaters right now. ”

The state of the Death Eaters now? Since Voldemort's defeat and retreat, the Death Eaters have been in a state of actual separation, and it is only recently that the news of the Dark Lord's return has slowly spread, and they have the intention of reuniting, but they are still leaderless.

Thinking of this, Drake finally understood a little, and he said, "It is to make the Death Eaters think that he is still a member of the Death Eaters, and the evidence is that he has a close connection with Lucius, the only son of the core Death Eaters." ”

Phyllis said, "What's the use of that? ”

Yes, what's the use of this, even if you can deceive this time, you can still deceive for a lifetime? Those Death Eaters are easy to deceive, but Voldemort is not, and as long as the Dark Lord does return, his lies will be exposed, which means that his lies will only last for a short time. But Karkaroff is definitely a smart man, and he must have a reason for doing so, which means that he only needs to maintain this lie for a short time.

"He may be in some kind of exchange with a Death Eater, and in order to gain their trust, he needs to prove that he is still a member of the Death Eaters and that he is still loyal to Voldemort...... But will anyone believe his claims? It was by betraying the Death Eaters that he escaped being imprisoned in Azkaban, and many people know about it. ”

Phyllis said: "Believe it or not depends on what you say, and besides, not 'many people' know about it." "In fact, the Ministry of Magic's secrecy work is still good, and the information about the betrayed Death Eaters has not been widely revealed, of course, the powerful and important families in the wizarding world still know about it, and Drake thinks that this matter has been widely spread because the people around him know about it, but in fact, the average Death Eater is not clear about how Karkaroff escaped, besides, after Voldemort lost power, many Death Eaters escaped punishment by betraying their companions, and the Death Eaters were not so loyalIt's not a big deal.

Phyllis said: "Okay, that's all for today, you write to your father about our analysis just now, he will naturally know what to do, go back and rest." ”

Drake said, "Okay, excuse me. ”

Phyllis waved her hand and went back to her dorm.

Lying on the bed, Phyllis couldn't sleep a little, she took out a pen and paper from the bedside table and began to write, she needed to test Karkaroff's tone, she suddenly realized that Karkaroff's situation might not be as simple as she had thought. As she just said, there are many Death Eaters who escape punishment by betraying their companions, although Karkaroff is one of the more serious ones, but Phyllis does not believe that he does not have the idea of obtaining Voldemort's forgiveness, especially considering his current status, the headmaster of a magic school has defected to Voldemort, which is a huge boost to the prestige of the Dark Lord, and Phyllis does not believe that Voldemort will not be moved. But it is true that Karkaroff showed some kind of intense anxiety as soon as she heard that Voldemort would return, and she had been in contact with Karkaroff in person, knowing that his anxiety was not fake, he was really afraid. Now that Phyllis found himself thinking simply, why was he so scared, just because he had betrayed some Death Eaters? Or did he have something about him that Voldemort was very taboo, such as ...... Suddenly, Phyllis stopped writing, could it be that Voldemort was a ...... In his hands? Why did he keep that thing, what could that thing do except cause trouble? But if that thing is really in his hands, the use value of Karkaroff will be greatly improved, that thing Voldemort wants to take back, Dumbledore is also very similar, with this thing, Phyllis has a lot of initiative.

It's interesting, I didn't expect that in addition to hurting Harry's soul, I could get such a message when I was sleeping, which would be of great help in the future. Phyllis couldn't help laughing, sealed the envelope, taught Amy to arrange for the letter to be sent, and hid in the quilt to sleep, listening to the cold wind whistling outside, enjoying the warm quilt, Phyllis felt very comfortable, this sleep is quite good.

……

Recently, a new topic has appeared in Hogwarts, when the two houses of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were playing Quidditch, the Dementors appeared again, although this time there were only a few, but Harry Potter was scared unconscious again, and I heard that he was still injured, and the injuries were serious.

As for the result of the match, because the match was forced to stop due to force majeure, the result was directly taken from the results of the two teams at the time, and in the end Ravenclaw won with a score of 90 to 40, as Professor Flitwick said, this victory brought Ravenclaw Quidditch one step closer. Many Gryffindor students were not happy with the result, having lost to Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw this time, and they had every chance of winning the House Cup this year.

The students discussed new topics, Dumbledore was running around trying to save Harry, and the previous attack seemed to end in the end, as Dumbledore had originally set out to be. In this way, time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a warm early summer.

ps: I don't know if you've noticed, many of Phyllis's questions are not "asking", but "saying", this is because she is actually asking, not asking, the feeling of doubt in her tone of voice is not so strong, but more prosaic, so it is more appropriate to use "said", but if she is not asking, but really asking, she will use "ask". There are a few questions in this chapter that use "ask", and there are also a few questions that use "say", if you are interested, you can try to appreciate the difference in the tone of Phyllis's voice.
