Chapter 504, the undercurrent is surging
The truth is in the hands of a few, and this so-called minority is only a small group of people who can reach the core of interests.
The public is forever swaying with public opinion, because the general public does not have access to the real inside story. Under the influence of the "Prophet Times", the mouthpiece of the British Ministry of Magic, the final turn of the Triwizard Tournament was blamed on the evil 'dragon thieves'. Such a result feels logical and a little grotesque. However, the general public has the same understanding, that is, the 'dragon thieves' are mysterious and powerful, and can cure the earth-shattering news of the unforgivable curse. Diggory's body is confirmed. Since then, Harry. Potter wasn't the only boy to be struck by the Unforgivable Curse anymore, but Cedric. Although Diggory was revived by the 'Dragon Thieves', he was turned into a squib with no ability to cast spells.
In Malfoy's Manor, Voldemort, dressed in black wizard robes, sat on the throne, his gray skin looking like a dead corpse. With nostrils like snakes, he picked up a cup of Ceylon black tea and sniffed. Looking around, more than thirty Death Eaters from all over the world were seated. No one dared to look at Voldemort, and the cold eyes of Voldemort, who was still in the name of murder, swept over, and everyone felt a fear from their souls, and even trembled.
"Humph! You who claim to be my servants were so loyal, but why hasn't anyone ever come looking for me? Where are you Death Eaters who claim to be my most loyal servants when I lean over the beetle when I am in a geist state? Voldemort's hoarse voice, like a demon from the Nine Shadows, gradually raised his roar, which made the more than thirty Death Eaters high-ranking people shudder.
"Master, we have been looking for you for a long time, really. And at that time, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were very oppressive to us," the head of the Goyle family replied in a trembling voice.
'Bump' Voldemort slapped the table, and after being reborn, this new body had great power, and it no longer wanted to be as weak as the original body. Standing up, he slowly walked behind the head of the Goyle family, "I don't want to hear any explanations, now I just want to see the results!" Voldemort said coldly. The snake-like eyes looked around at everyone, and said without any emotion, "I don't care what kind of deal you people had with the 'Dragon Thieves' before, now!" Suffice it to say that the Dragons and Thieves are our worst enemies! Let me find out who else has anything to do with the 'Dragon Thieves', and I will make him worse than dead!! ”
Strong fortresses often corrode from within, and for this, as a hero, how did Voldemort not know? It's been fourteen years since I left the Death Eaters. The Death Eaters who can be gathered now are only more than 30 people in front of them, and the 800 Death Eater stalwarts who carried out the mission of destroying the Quidditch World Cup last time have died in the hands of the 'Dragon Thieves', and these characters sitting here now represent more than 30 ancient nobles, what kind of character are these nobles, Voldemort knows that the 'Dragon Thieves' have a monopoly on magic raw materials, these ancient nobles. Inevitably, it won't have anything to do with the 'Dragon Thieves'. Although he wanted to kill all these wall-grass nobles, Voldemort knew it. If he wants to gather the Death Eaters anew, he still can't do without the support of more than thirty ancient families, and the three armies go ahead before they move the grain and grass. Fighting a war is a matter of manpower and material resources. Without the lure of large sums of gold gallons, and without the bounty of all kinds of rare magical items, could so many people be willing to die for Voldemort?
The reason why the Death Eaters were able to snowball to forty or fifty thousand people. This mainly depends on the fact that after every fight, someone will get a lot of benefits, whether it is a golden golden galleon, or a rare magic item, which makes those Death Eaters who follow them crazy. It is exactly like this practice of beating local tyrants and dividing the land. overthrew a group of ancient nobles who opposed him, so that the nobles of the Malfoy family, the Goyle family, and the McMillan family gradually took control of the noble association.
"Great master, our loyalty to you cannot be overstated, since the 'Dragon Thieves' provoke your majesty, my Malfoy family will definitely fight with the 'Dragon Thieves'!!" Lucius. Malfoy exclaimed impassionedly.
Immediately afterwards, the other Death Eaters also shouted, and looked indignant, as if they had a vendetta against their father with the 'Dragon Thieves'. McFarsti, the agent of the 'Dragon Thieves', makes a deal. Although the price of various rare magic materials has soared due to the monopoly of the 'Dragon Thieves', it is not the same as that of Albert. McFarsti took the goods in his hands, the price would still be much cheaper, and after some change hands, he still made a lot of profits.
"Humph! I hope you do what you say. If anyone tells me he's inconsistent, I'll definitely make him call Nagini's dinner," Voldemort said grimly. The giant python beside him heard the call of its master, raised its terrifying snake head, spit out a letter, climbed onto the long table and swam slowly. The python, which was fed by Voldemort with potion, was eighteen meters long enough to make people break out in a cold sweat.
It was at this time that little Barty, who escaped from Hogwarts. Crouch ran up to Voldemort and whispered a few words to Voldemort, and Voldemort's cold eyes glowed with a terrifying light. "Is the information reliable?" Voldemort asked hoarsely. Barty Jr. Crouch, a Death Eater who still did not abandon Voldemort when he was most embarrassed, Voldemort was naturally not so cold. And little Barty. Crouch also gained a high status among the Death Eaters because of his unafraid of hardships and dangers at Hogwarts.
Nodding, little Barty. Crouch said slowly, "We've investigated it clearly, Bellatrix. Lestrange, Antoning? Dolokhov, Fenrir? Greyback, these faithful believers are locked up in the northeast corner of Azkaban, and Peter Pettigrew is also locked up there."
Voldemort nodded, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "I will not forget those who are loyal to me!" Get ready to rescue them."
Attaching equal importance to grace and power is the royal way of leadership, and the intimidation of the right people made these more than thirty nobles tremble. Then you have to show Voldemort's righteous side and get a new life yourself, and then the Death Eaters who followed him in the first place were hunted down by the Ministry of Magic and thrown into Azkaban, then as a qualified leader. They must be delivered. Doing so will not only win hearts and minds, but also strengthen the Death Eaters, Bellatrix. Lestrange is Sirius Black's cousin. A veteran Slytherin background, that's a crazy follower of his own. A fanatic who believes in the theory of pure blood.
At the same time that Voldemort borrowed the funds of the ancient nobles such as Malfoy, Goyle, and McMillan to recruit troops, Sirius Black and others also began to secretly convene the Order of the Phoenix. Connelly. Fudge's distorted lies by the greedy Minister of Magic could not confuse the members of the Order of the Phoenix who had fought the Death Eaters to the death. As Harry. Potter's godfather, Sirius Black, naturally absolutely believed in Harry. Everything Potter said.
The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, hidden in the middle of the city, was used as a cover for the Muggle apartment, hidden in an apartment by a huge building with concealment magic cast. "Since Harry said that the 'Dragon Thieves' are hostile to the Mysteries, can we contact them?" Sirius Black spoke his mind to the crowd.
The Order of the Phoenix can be said to be an organization created by Dumbledore to fight against Voldemort's Death Eaters. The Order of the Phoenix has a wide range of members, from Muggles who can't use magic, Squibs who can't use magic, bar waiters, street villains, and in short, people who had a blood feud with Voldemort at the time. They were all gathered by Dumbledore. The Order's all-inclusive form is in stark contrast to the Death Eaters' standard of only recruiting pure-blood wizards, the scheming Dumbledore is not comparable to the Voldemort with a distorted personality of inferiority and pride, Dumbledore knows that an inconspicuous little person can often play an unexpected role. Even Muggles who can't cast magic can use pistols. While a powerful wizard is slackening, a single shot kills the opponent.
Lupin, Rubeus. Hagrid, Mad-Eye Moody, Arthur. Weasley, Nimphadora. Tonks, the backbone of the Order of the Phoenix, have gathered here. Mad Eye Moody was rescued by Dumbledore.
As a veteran Auror. Mad-Eye Moody doesn't have a good impression of the 'Dragon Thieves'. The magic eyeball, the size of a ping-pong ball, turned, and its ugly face twisted together, "No! The unknown is the most terrifying thing, we don't know the details of those 'dragon thieves' who have never seen people in their true faces, and we don't know if they are deliberately arranged by mysterious people to confuse us, besides. What if the 'Dragons and Thieves' are using us to defeat Voldemort? Who can guarantee that the Dragon Thieves will be the next Death Eaters? Mad-Eye Moody roared in a powerful voice.
Although Lupin can transform into a werewolf on a full moon night, he is not a natural werewolf, if not when he was a child, he was killed by the famous Death Eater, Fenrir? Greyback, the werewolf leader, bites. Nor will he be infected, and the full moon night transforms into a werewolf haunt, making it impossible for Lupin to find a decent job, and the days of wandering have passed for many years. At that time, Nissa unleashed an incomparably pure werewolf coercion, which made Lupin unable to move, although he could not see his face, but Lupin clearly felt that the member of the 'Dragon Thieves Pack' with a blood-colored mask had Bifenrir on him? Greyback also has a strong werewolf bloodline. Nameless hatred swept over my heart.
"I agree with Moody, we don't know if the 'Dragon Thieves' are a deliberate attempt by mysterious people to confuse us. All I suggest is that we'd better consider the Dragon Thieves a potential enemy now! Lupin said in a deep voice.
The obedience of the minority to the majority is the principle of the Order of the Phoenix. Hearing everyone's opposition, Sirius Black couldn't say anything more.
For a time, both the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters were secretly recruiting. A long-planned storm is about to sweep through the wizarding world, and Harry. Potter, the main character, sat in his disgusting aunt's house, feeling the cold words. Especially the idiot cousin's taunts, which made Harry even more angry. Potter was upset. (To be continued......)
PS: Time is the sharpest weapon, classmates who haven't seen each other for many years, reunite, not as affectionate as before, is it this philistine world that has changed people's initial innocence, or has the original simple people changed in today's complex interests? Who can say it clearly, you have to consider three points when you say a word, and there is a contrast in your smile
