Hearing Mr. Weasley's voice, everyone hurried out.
"Come in, aren't you cold?" Charlie held up the door curtain and asked them to get into the tent.
"You guys go in first, I will send Qiu back to her parents." Glenn waved his hand and pulled Qiu to continue walking to the other side of the camp.
After such a big thing happened, it was naturally impossible for her to stay here overnight. Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang must have been worried.
Their tent was in the other corner of the camp and was almost untouched.
Since there was no news, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but they didn't dare to leave the tent and go out to search, fearing that Qiu wouldn't be able to see them when he came back.
Seeing that the two men finally returned, they breathed a sigh of relief and asked them to ask questions.
When Glenn returned to the tent, everyone was sitting around the middle table, and the kettle was steaming on the stove.Fred and George, for the rare occasion that they didn't pull any pranks, poured everyone a cup of hot water.
Ginny's face was still a little pale, and she was peeking at Harry nervously, unable to hide the concern in her eyes that went beyond friendship.
It's just that Harry hasn't awakened yet and can't feel her affection at all.
The people who had participated in the battle earlier were all a little embarrassed. Bill had a sheet wrapped around his arm. Although white essence had been used, the bleeding had not completely stopped.
Percy's face also had color on his face, as if someone had punched him in the nose, but he didn't show any pain, instead he thought it was something worth showing off.
"There are too many people on the road. By the time we find the opportunity to stop and look back, we will no longer see any trace of you..." Fred said a little guiltily.
"It's okay." Glenn smiled and shook his head, "Ron tripped, so we hid in the woods nearby without encountering any danger. We didn't come out of the woods until we heard the voices of the Aurors and Strikers. .”
On the way back, he had specifically asked a few people not to reveal their encounters with Death Eaters, so as not to cause unnecessary worry.
"How are you doing over there? Have you caught those guys?" Ron asked.
"How should I say..." Mr. Weasley hesitated, "As far as I know, most of them escaped, but Kingsley and Delis captured the leader."
"The leader? Who is it?" Harry asked immediately.
"You may not believe it..." Percy said, "The leader of those people, the person who released the Dark Mark... is Crouch. Yes, my boss - Barty Crouch ..."
Everyone except Glenn looked shocked when they heard the name.
"How could it be him?" Hermione said in disbelief, "Didn't the book say that he always advocated using tough measures against Death Eaters?"
Mr. Weasley sighed, with a somewhat incomprehensible expression on his face: "Yes! Who would have thought that Barty Crouch would become a follower of the mysterious man?"
"There's something I don't quite understand," Glenn said. "If Crouch is their leader, then why was he the only one who was arrested while the others escaped smoothly?"
After reading Yaxley's memory, he already knew the Death Eaters' plan today, but it was difficult to explain clearly, so he secretly guided them and asked.
Hearing Glenn's question, Bill took off the sheets on his arms, frowned and said, "I have the same problem, Dad, do you think it's a little strange why all the Death Eaters apparated at the same time as soon as we appeared?" Shape into the forest and continue to cause commotion, leaving Crouch alone until the Aurors arrive and arrest him?"
"Yes!" Charlie echoed, "It was such a chaotic scene. Crouch had every chance to escape, so why did he stay there all the time?"
"I understand what you are thinking, but the specific situation will have to wait for the results of the interrogation by the Ministry..." Mr. Weasley pondered for a moment, then nodded, "It's getting late now, let's hurry up and get a few hours' sleep. Then get up early and get out of here. Molly would be worried sick if she knew what happened tonight."
The lights went out and everyone went back to bed. The heartless Ron soon started snoring, followed closely by Charlie.
Harry was clearly suffering from insomnia on the upper bunk in Glen, tossing and turning until late at night.
Glenn went to sleep in no hurry, recalling the information he had read from Yaxley's mind.
Facts have proved that this riot was no longer a spontaneous organization by the Death Eaters who had slipped through the net more than ten years ago, but a plan under Voldemort's instruction.
As the successor to Lucius Malfoy as the "Dark Lord's confidant", Yaxley is naturally the main executor of the plan.
Causing riots after the World Cup final; releasing the Dark Mark; using the Imperius Curse to control Crouch's arrest, all were part of the plan.
From Voldemort's point of view, the purpose of the plan could not be to expose his return, but to cause a further break between Fudge and Dumbledore.
If Glenn guessed correctly, in addition to Yaxley, the current top management of the Ministry of Magic must have other people who know Fudge who have joined Voldemort's camp. This allows them to grasp Fudge's character and thoughts so accurately.
Otherwise, Voldemort would not have risked exposing himself in advance to implement this plan.
After just a few hours of sleep, Mr. Weasley woke everyone up early.
I used magic when packing up the tent, which saved a lot of time compared to yesterday.
As they left the camp, Mr. Roberts stood at the door of the stone house and waved goodbye to them.There was something obviously wrong with him, he was in a daze, and he muttered "Merry Christmas" vaguely.
Such a terrifying experience, if you want to use the forgetting spell to delete the memory, it will inevitably have some side effects.
On the way back to the Burrow after receiving the door keys, everyone said nothing and just focused on their way.The path was still wet and muddy, making every step slippery.
"Oh, thank God! You are finally back..."
Mrs. Weasley had been waiting in the front yard. She saw them emerging from the corner of the path from a distance, and immediately ran towards them, even forgetting to change the slippers on her feet.
Her face was pale and she looked nervous, holding a rolled-up copy of the Daily Prophet in her hand.
"Arthur - I'm so worried...so worried..."
She threw her arms around Mr. Weasley's neck, and the Daily Prophet fell from her limp hands to the floor.
The newspaper's headline read in large font - "Death Eaters attack Quidditch World Cup, main culprit Barty Crouch arrested!"
The accompanying image under the title is a black and white photo.
There was an obvious Dark Mark hanging in the dim night sky, and the already terrifying skull mark looked even more eerie against the firelight of the tent below.
"Come in, aren't you cold?" Charlie held up the door curtain and asked them to get into the tent.
"You guys go in first, I will send Qiu back to her parents." Glenn waved his hand and pulled Qiu to continue walking to the other side of the camp.
