523. Surprise them

"Alright, let's go, come back tomorrow."

Malfoy seemed reluctant to say anything more, and left with three of his henchmen in apparition.

"They've learned to apparition!"

Eddie exclaimed, obviously envious of this.

Roger smiled and said, "Oh, if you also drop out, you can also learn and use apparition on the sly, as long as you don't get discovered by the Ministry of Magic." ”

Eddie ignored him, instead staring at the vanishing cabinet in the surveillance footage.

"They didn't take the vanishing cabinet with them, probably because no one was going to go into this old house."

Roger, "It's an old Muggle house, wizards obviously don't go there, they just cast a Muggle banishment spell to make sure no one breaks in." ”

Eddie, "But we know it now."

Scott, "Even if we knew, we wouldn't have done anything, Professor Moody is still waiting to use the Vanishing Cabinet to locate the Death Eaters' stronghold." ”

Milton asked him, "Are you going to tell the professor about this new discovery?" ”

"Of course." Scott picked up [the magic mirror], "I just need to send this surveillance footage to Dumbledore." ”

He said as he operated, and quickly sent the video over.

"I can guess what Moody is teaching them."

Eddie began to speak out of his lofty arguments.

"They'll help fix the Vanishing Cabinet at Hogwarts."

"Malfoy, after they verify, will take another vanishing cabinet to the Death Eater's stronghold."

"When the time comes, either take the vanishing cabinet out of Hogwarts and ambush it, or kill it through the vanishing cabinet."

"What do you think?"

Roger commented, "You said that there are two ways, no matter which one is difficult, you must know that the disappearing cabinet is not big, and you can only pass through one person at most." ”

"Yes." Eddie reflected, "I wonder what they're going to do?" ”

Milton suddenly reminded loudly, "Don't care what they do, all I know is that if we don't leave the dorm, we'll be late for class!" ”

"Oh......"

The four of them hurriedly washed up, changed their clothes, and rushed to the classroom.

During the recess, Scott sent another message to Dumbledore, saying that he could try to use "Yxtra Hill" to widen the spatial passage between the two vanishing cabinets.

He knew that Dumbledore would most likely take the second option Eddie had said, and take the initiative to kill Voldemort's Death Eaters and the Dark Legion before they were ready.

If you can widen the spatial passage, you don't have to worry about the people who passed first facing the siege of the Death Eaters.

Dumbledore quickly sent a reply, saying that it was time for Scott to try.

At noon, Fred and George finally blocked Scott and also saw the surveillance footage from last night.

"It's really Malfoy's kid."

Fred looked completely unsurprised.

"Oh, poor Malfoy, it seems that their family doesn't mix well in the Dark Lord's ranks either."

George feigned sympathy.

Then the two began to sing and harmonize.

"Look, he's trying to gain the Dark Lord's appreciation."

"It's really hard at a young age."

"It's all because old Malfoy is so useless."

"Oh, look at Parkinson and Malfoy, what a touching love!"

"We don't know what's going on because of the lack of intelligence," Scott said. It now appears that the Malfoys, as well as several of their close ones, have been marginalized in the ranks of the Death Eaters. ”

Fred touched his chin, "But it can't be ruled out that it was a deliberate operation by old Malfoy." ”

"Possibly!" George nodded, "Dad said that the Malfoys have always been cunning, and what they are best at is to see the wind and steer the rudder. ”

Scott was a little surprised, "You mean Malfoy wasn't optimistic about the future of the Death Eaters, so he deliberately marginalized himself?"

Fred, "It's also possible that it's just ambiguous and gives yourself a way out." ”

George, "After Voldemort's first defeat, the elder Malfoy relied on his cunning to get out." ”

Scott thought about it and thought it was a possibility.

Voldemort was not a normal person.

If it weren't for more interests, those pure-blood families would not have chosen to follow such a leader.

Today, Voldemort is even more insane, and most Death Eaters are forced to surrender because of his strength.

Only a true madman like Bellatrix Lestrange and Barty Crouch Jr. would share his interests.

Against this backdrop, it is not impossible that the always cunning Malfoy chose to keep his hand.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "If your guess is true, wouldn't little Malfoy live up to his father's painstaking efforts?" ”

Fred pretended to be mature, "A child who hasn't grown up always wants to do something big to prove that he is unique." ”

George nodded: "Little Malfoy is obviously spoiled, and he didn't study well with his father, he has always been too naΓ―ve and very easy to understand. ”

Fred commented, "It's a little clever, but it's not really cunning at all." ”

Scott also felt that "this can be seen in the behavior he has been provoking Harry in the past." ”

Fred brought up Snape again.

"However, the old bats are clearly more appreciated by Voldemort than Malfoy."

George looked disgusted, "That's what he'd been expecting all along. ”

"yes." Fred agreed, "The Death Eaters are a good fit for him." ”

Scott knew that Snape was a double agent, but he didn't say anything either.

After all, the less people know about such secrets, the better.

It was only when he sensed the awakening of the Dark Mark in Snape's hand during Potions class that Dumbledore hinted at him.

For Snape himself, Scott had no good feelings or bad feelings.

Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he has never experienced any unforgettable feelings, and he can't understand this kind of infatuated lover with complex ingredients.

A calm day passed.

That night, near curfew, Scott was called into his office by Dumbledore.

When he arrived, he found it a bit lively.

In addition to Dumbledore himself, Scott saw Professor Moody, Kingsley Shackle, Sirius, and Mr. Weasley.

They were all acquaintances, and Scott greeted them politely.

Sirius and Mr. Weasley both smiled at him warmly.

Sirius also patted him on the shoulder, "Scott, I heard you've helped a lot this time. ”

Scott laughed and said, "It just happened." ”

Dumbledore said, "You've been very helpful, Scott, and I've explained it to them. ”

Then, he asked Scott to show the current real-time surveillance footage.

Scott nodded, pulling out the [Magic Mirror].

With a wave of his hand, Dumbledore removed the decorations from one side of the wall, and Scott followed with the surveillance footage projected onto the wall.

The footage is divided into two parts, the Slytherin bedroom on one side and the Muggle house on the other.

It wasn't long before the owl flew into the dormitory, used the beads sealed with the Repair Charm on the vanishing cabinet, and left.

When the owl was gone, Professor Moody stood up.

"Let me help them then."

A house-elf suddenly appeared and disappeared with him.

In the next second, Professor Moody's figure appeared in the surveillance footage.

He pulled out his wand hidden in his crutches and waved it at the Vanishing Cabinet.

The light of the spell instantly illuminated the entire bedroom.

When the light went out, Professor Moody was taken back to the Headmaster's office by the house-elf.

"Is that all fixed?" Sirius said, "You didn't check. ”

"Don't doubt my judgment." Professor Moody sat down.

"Trust Alasto," Shakel said, "and he is probably the most cautious of us." ”

"You're right." Sirius no longer questioned.

He looked at the other surveillance footage and said sarcastically, "Oh, my sweet nephew and his little friends have appeared. ”

Everyone saw four figures draped in black cloaks appear in the room on the old roof level.

"He really didn't learn his father's shrewdness at all." Sirius added, "Of course, he didn't learn his mother's caution. ”

Dumbledore said, "Don't worry, this kid has been punished for his bad deeds, and he hasn't done anything really bad. We'll try not to let those things affect him.

"I didn't care about him." Sirius stiffly said, "He's a Malfoy, and he's been taught badly by Lucius. ”

Dumbledore kept smiling and didn't contradict his words.

In the surveillance footage, Malfoy Jr. begins to check the vanishing cabinet again.

Then, to his surprise, the Vanishing Cabinet seemed to have been repaired.

He excitedly said, "We made it!" ”

His friends were also excited.

"Great, Draco!"

"You're awesome!"

"It's going to be a big surprise." Little Malfoy couldn't contain his joy, "We're going to be rewarded!" ”

"Let's go back."

"Tell the Dark Lord the good news."

As he spoke, the two fat duns wanted to lift the disappearing cabinet.

"Wait."

Little Malfoy stopped them.

"What's wrong, Draco?"

"I just experimented with apples." "We need further experimentation. ”

"You're right, Draco, we have to make sure it really works before we can tell the Dark Lord." Parkinson's adoration said.

"That's it."

Little Malfoy looked left and right.

"That's you, Gregory." He said to Goyle, "You're thinner than Vincent, you climb in and try it first." ”

"Me?"

Goyle was visibly hesitant.

He looked at Parkinson, "Pansy is the skinniest, let her go." ”

"If you want to go, you'll go, don't you want to listen to Draco?"

Parkinson kicked him angrily.

"But...... But ......"

Goyle clearly still didn't dare.

"Okay, let's try it with critters first."

Little Malfoy said helplessly.

"After confirming that the critter is safe, Gregory will go inside."

"Good!" Goyle happily agreed.

"I'm going to catch critters!"

Crabbe was very conscious of his apparition and left.

In the principal's office, everyone was staring at the surveillance footage, and no one spoke for the time being.

After more than ten minutes, Crabbe returned to the frame with a rabbit in his arms.

"I caught it in a Muggle yard." He happily said, "Those Muggles didn't find me!" ”

"Well done, Vincent."

Malfoy complimented him, reached out and took the rabbit and threw it into the vanishing cabinet.

"Gone!"

Goyle and Crabbe shouted together.

Little Malfoy nodded and instructed Goyle, "Now you climb in and get that rabbit back." ”

"Good...... All right. ”

Goyle reluctantly lay down and crawled into the vanishing cabinet.

Next, Scott sees Goyle's upper body appear in the Slytherin bedroom.

He crawled out from under the bed, his face full of excitement, and it took some clumsy effort to catch the rabbit.

Then, he carried the rabbit into the disappearing cabinet under the bed.

"It worked!"

In the old house, Goyle poked his head out of the vanishing cabinet and shouted.

"I got to the dormitory, and there was still no one living there."

"Good." Little Malfoy couldn't hide his excitement, "Now, we can report this exact news to the Dark Lord!" ”

Parkinson screamed, "I knew it was going to work!" ”

"Oh......" said Goyle, crying bitterly, "I'm stuck, pull me up!" ”

Parkinson yelled, "Let go of the rabbit in your hands, idiot, it's been crushed to death by you!" ”

Crabbe helped pull Goyle out of the cupboard.

Goyle threw away the dead rabbit in his hand and lifted the Vanishing Cabinet with Crabbe.

"Let's go, be careful and keep up."

Little Malfoy said, and the direct apparition left, followed by Parkinson.

Goyle and Crabbe, who were carrying the Vanishing Cabinet, took a step slower, and hurriedly cast a somewhat clumsy illusion to leave.

Probably due to carrying the vanishing cabinet, their apparition made a slight mistake.

A cry of pain and a trail of blood were left in place.

Mr. Weasley exclaimed, "Split? ”

"They were lucky, they were injured and didn't have any limbs left," Professor Moody said. ”

Sirius stood up and said impatiently, "Now, let's move the Vanishing Cabinet somewhere else." ”

"There's no need to rush." Dumbledore shook his head, "Voldemort won't easily believe those children's words, and he'll have them verified again." ”

"But if it's an adult wizard who comes over, those Slytherin students might be in danger. ”

"Don't worry." Sirius sat back down, "Death Eaters don't hurt Slytherin students, they're all family. ”

Shackle disagreed, saying, "There aren't many of them, but Slytherin House has some mixed-race kids. ”

"They won't do it rashly, and that's bound to be a cause for us to be alarmed." Professor Moody said.

Dumbledore said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it." ”

Sirius was a little excited, "So it seems that after Voldemort sends someone to verify it, it will be the time for us to act." ”

"Not so fast." Dumbledore added, "To ensure success, Voldemort will be ready, and we are not running out of time. ”

Sirius laughed, "Anyway, we'll surprise them before they're ready." ”
