Study Days at Hogwarts

If Albert had been there and listened to their conversation, he probably couldn't bear the grievance and beat Snape on the spot to let him understand the power outside of magic.

He is obviously a good wizard who advocates freedom and loves peace. Why did he become the White Devil inexplicably?

This is definitely the biggest slur ever!

In the final analysis, this matter is still their own fault.

If it weren't for the Order of the Phoenix and the wizards in the British magical world who were so useless, why would he even need to do it himself to eliminate the mysterious man?

Wouldn't it be better to leave it to Harry Potter to figure it out on his own?

Not only do you have to work hard, but you also have to be a bad person. Who is willing to endure this injustice?

Fortunately, Albert didn't know anything about the conversation between the two, otherwise he would probably have to give these double-standard dogs a look.

…

Since his brief exchange with Dumbledore that night, Snape had tried to minimize the Death Eaters' influence on Hogwarts, but he ultimately failed to change his plan to dismantle the Defense Association at the Death Eater meeting. , and Dumbledore's Army hidden in Hogwarts School is the first link in the entire plan.

In the next few days, the students at Hogwarts were horrified to discover that there were a large number of rude Death Eaters who were ridiculously able to arrest Albert Anderson, the leader of Dumbledore's Army, in this ancient city. in the castle.

That's right, the leader of Dumbledore's Army is named Albert Anderson, not the famous savior Harry Potter.

When this news first spread, it really confused many Hogwarts students. After they regained their senses, they were even more convinced that this group of Death Eaters came to Hogwarts to cause trouble.

The reason is also very simple. Everyone knows that Dumbledore's Army was formed by Harry Potter, and the Death Eaters even got this wrong. How dare they say that they are here to capture Albert?

Doesn't this mean that all students are treated as fools?

I don’t know why, but Harry is losing his original savior card. Many Death Eaters no longer regard him as a threat. They even think about when they will be lucky enough to meet him, so that they can go to the Ministry of Magic to get that one. A large reward was offered.

Ever since Voldemort allowed everyone to kill Harry Potter, the unlucky man who was randomly dubbed the savior has become the coveted prey of countless Death Eaters.

Now the Dark Lord's great enemy has directly become the mudblood Albert Anderson. When you think about Voldemort even giving up his former enemy for this, you can understand how important this person really is.

Most Death Eaters regarded him as a plague god and stayed away from the mudblood, fearing that they would become the next unlucky one.

In this way, which Death Eater would be so bold as to capture Albert Anderson, the leader of Dumbledore's Army?

Do you think you are living too well?

Faced with the hostile looks of countless students and professors, the Death Eaters responsible for investigating the matter really wanted them to understand, but this was Snape's territory, and they had to strictly abide by Snape's requirements. According to the Special Operations Team Friendly intelligence provided, using Veritaserum to interrogate individual students in order to uncover Dumbledore's Army.

The method provided by Snape did indeed work. To the consternation of all Death Eaters, the current leader of Dumbledore's Army was actually Neville Longbottom, not Harry Potter, or who they said he was. Mudblood.

If there is a connection between the two parties, it would be that Dumbledore's Army used the "Self-Defense Guide" written by the Mudblood as a textbook for learning defense against the dark arts.

However, what annoyed the Death Eaters most was that the Neville Longbottom they were looking for had disappeared from the school not long ago, and the other remaining members of Dumbledore's Army had also disappeared from the school not long ago. .

"After recent investigations, we believe that the last remnants of Dumbledore's Army should be hiding in the Room of Requirement. It is still occupied by people for a long time and our people cannot enter..."

Listening to Vice Principal Alecto Carlo's report, Snape's expression did not change at all, as if he already knew what the other person said.

"Things didn't surprise me. Just continue to follow the plan, and notify MacNeil and ask him to send a few smart Aurors to help." Snape added the list of missing students a while ago handed it to his deputy minister.

"Auror, are you sure those guys are trustworthy?"

Alecto didn't have the slightest fondness for the group of surrendered Aurors, and he had not forgotten what those guys were paddling that night, but she still reached out and took the list handed over by Snape.

After Lucius and Yaxley's successive misfortunes, there was a reason why Snape was still able to remain Voldemort's right-hand man.

"I know, but you just need to know that even a piece of toilet paper has its value. We just need their help to persuade the members of Dumbledore's Army to surrender to us, so as to dismantle that group from within." Snape looked He sternly reminded Alecto, who was reading the list, "Achieving the goal is the most important, and the process is not important."

"No wonder you can always seize opportunities at the most critical moments." Alecto stuffed the parchment into his pocket, preparing to ask the old woman Magna to write letters to them one by one.

"I don't want any accidents to happen during this period, do you understand?" Snape continued to warn, "Invite them to Hogwarts and say that their children are missing."

"What if they don't want to?"

"Then bring your helpers, and I will personally convince them to cooperate with us." Snape's eyes flashed.

"They would definitely want to."

…

The family members who received the letter from the Vice Principal of Hogwarts had particularly strange reactions.

A little worried, I recently went to Hogwarts.

Some of them burned the letter without paying attention and continued to do whatever they were supposed to do. As a result, they were visited by Death Eaters and invited to school.

Some families ran away and disappeared on the day they received the letter.

In short, the students at Hogwarts soon discovered to their horror that the parents of the missing students had been brought to school by Death Eaters.

Although no one knew what Snape told them, after some negotiations, the family members finally came to the school to persuade their children to surrender to the Death Eaters in the name of searching for the missing children.

"That's right, we don't want to do anything to you. Our goal from beginning to end is only to catch the culprit..."

Under the greetings of the Cruciatus Curse and the careful persuasion of Snape, even the tough ones had to be subdued.

As a result, a letter to members of Dumbledore's Army appeared in all places in Hogwarts Castle, and many students were stunned by the sincere words.

Some smart people have already guessed what the Death Eaters want to do, and are even more worried that the enemy is actually planning to use some means to disrupt the unity within Dumbledore's Army.

In fact, as Snape feared, the Death Eaters' actions did shake the faith of the members of Dumbledore's Army in the Room of Requirement to some extent.

After all, anyone who encounters the situation of "The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?" will have their faith shaken, not to mention that it is a good step.

The betrayal of family members indeed made many students feel angry and confused.

Although they were extremely angry at the Death Eaters' despicable methods, this move did make many members of Dumbledore's Army who were worried about their families begin to think about surrendering.

"Kidnapping children to make relatives behave has always been very effective, and we guessed very early on that sooner or later they would use this trick in reverse."

In the Room of Requirement, Neville was telling everyone about Snape's conspiracy, his tone so calm that one suspected he was talking about what to eat this morning.

"But what should we do? We can't..."

"They are adults. They are more skillful in thinking and handling problems than we are, and they know better what to do. Are you so arrogant that you think you can solve any problem?"

Hannah looked around at everyone present, feeling very dissatisfied with this group of guys who were so naive that they were planning to surrender.

"Your family is not in a life-or-death crisis." Someone sarcastically said.

"Yes, they are all dead." Hannah looked at the man calmly.

"You also want our family to die together, and then join you in resisting the mysterious man?" The man glared at Hannah angrily.

"Okay, be quiet."

Neville had to make a sharp noise with his wand to quiet the noisy room again.

"I think you should be very clear that this is a conspiracy by the Death Eaters to try to disrupt us. They obviously understand that strong castles usually fall apart from within."

Neville's tone was still very calm. He looked around at everyone present and continued, "I can understand you. If you want to go out and surrender, I have no objection. First, let me see how many people plan to surrender to the Death Eaters?"

There was dead silence.

"I really don't want to say something disgraceful, but will surrendering to the Death Eaters really solve the problem?" Neville asked, "Of course, if you really want to believe the Death Eaters, just pretend that I didn't say anything. Anyway, I don’t believe that the group of foreign dark wizards have already proved this with their lives.”

"If you plan to surrender to the Death Eaters, you will be abandoned." Hannah sneered.

One of them dressed up in a black face, and the other in a red face, which frightened everyone, but those words were actually true.

"What's the meaning."

"Betraitors will be given up. Do you expect others to wait for you to betray?" Hannah thought this man was ridiculous. She really didn't know how he joined Dumbledore's Army. "

Others couldn't laugh.

Hannah's words made them realize the consequences of betrayal.

They have not forgotten the fate of the 28 people who were given up previously.

They were eventually tortured to death by Death Eaters, while everyone in the asylum looked on as they were abandoned.

"Don't think that if you surrender, the Death Eaters will really let you go." Hannah sneered at everyone, "They lure others to surrender, just to dismantle the association and try to learn more information from you. Do you think he will believe what you said or use other methods to get the information? Don’t say I’m threatening you, I believe you all have your own judgment.”

"this……"

The original thought of surrender disappeared.

No one mentioned this matter again. The credibility of the Death Eaters was really bad. There were countless cases telling them that even if they surrendered, their safety might not be guaranteed.

The most important thing is that once you are abandoned by the association, they can really watch you die.

Those 28 people are the best proof that there were members of the association in the shelter at that time. Even if there were insufficient manpower, with the ability of the association, it would definitely be possible to organize a team to rescue them in a short time.

However, they just watched those people being tortured to death by the Death Eaters because they were directly abandoned by the association after their persuasion failed.

People who seek death are not worth the effort to save. The fate of others should be respected.

In other words, let him die.

"What did Albert say?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Ernie asked.

"The mysterious man will not kill pure blood easily. After all, that is the basis for his rule over the British magical world. The Death Eaters are so excited because they were stimulated by the previous incident, and they will gradually calm down after a while."

Neville was glad to finally get to the point.

"Mr. Anderson believes that it will develop into what it is now simply because they don't even have the courage to resist."

As he said that, Neville looked around at the students with abnormal expressions and continued, "Death Eaters are just a bunch of trash. If they bravely stood up and resisted, the situation would be different.

Do Death Eaters really dare to act so recklessly?

No, they don't dare!

Death Eaters are also afraid of death, not to mention that most of the new Death Eaters are a bunch of trash.

We can easily control them, but the choice of your family is the biggest problem. If they are cowards who don’t even have the courage to resist..."

At this point, the corners of Neville's lips raised slightly and he continued, "Mr. Anderson believes that arranging for them to leave the UK to avoid the war is the most correct choice."

"Will you rescue them?"

"It's not us, it's everyone. As I said, Death Eaters are just a bunch of trash. Defeating and killing them and saving the imprisoned people has never been a big problem."

Everyone exchanged looks with each other and nodded in agreement.

After all, the deaths of those 28 people were so stupid, and they almost made the same mistake again. This made many people feel scared, and they were glad in their hearts that they did not do anything stupid, because the Defense Association would really abandon them.

"I will convince my parents." Michael said calmly, "If they don't have the courage...I will tamper with their memories and throw them abroad to escape this damn wizarding war."

"This is actually the best way, but many people are just unwilling to leave the UK. They foolishly think..."

"Okay Hannah." Neville said to stop the girl next to him from continuing to stimulate everyone.

Michael's statement can be regarded as giving everyone a choice.

In fact, the Defense Association has always been very reliable in treating its own people, even thinking of ways to help them. As for whether the other party will accept it readily, it is not within their scope of consideration.
