Chapter 776 The real goal of the Death Eaters (page 12)
Kyle always hoped that he was overthinking.
Because news came later that whether it was Little Whinging or Privet Drive, there were only two Death Eaters from the beginning, the two who were lured away by Tonks... or rather they were not even Death Eaters. Not really.
After everyone left, Tonks returned to Privet Drive with a few Aurors and arrested them. No Death Eaters came to help during this period.
Through interrogation, it was revealed that they were in Cornwall a few days ago, and later wanted to join the Death Eaters because they admired Voldemort.
Monitoring Harry Potter was the first task they received. In other words, these two people were just two free cannon fodder. They knew nothing, and they didn’t even know what to look for when they discovered an unexpected situation. Who reports.
Because no one has contacted them since arriving at Privet Drive.
No wonder everyone was safe and the Death Eaters didn't go there at all... Whether they were planning a route or using the portkey to return, they were all fighting against the air.
Now it wasn't just Kyle, everyone else also noticed something was wrong. The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became deserted after Tonks finished speaking. Everyone was thinking about something.
"It is not good?"
Ron didn't take it seriously and said happily: "It means that the false news we sent out worked. The mysterious person must have thought that we would not take Harry away until the 30th."
Mundungus nodded beside him, thinking the same thing. In his opinion, it was good if there was no danger. Why bother with so much else?
But no one responded to him except Mundungus.
Because almost everyone present had dealt with Death Eaters, they knew very well that if Voldemort really wanted to attack Harry, there would be no way that there would be no movement at all until now.
Even if they were deceived by false news released in advance, they would react immediately in a short period of time.
After all, Death Eaters are bad, but not stupid.
It was already half an hour before the end of the operation. If their ability to adapt was really slow to this point, they would have been captured by the Ministry of Magic and kept company with the dementors.
"No matter what, it's good that Harry is safe." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Mrs. Weasley said quickly.
She glanced at the time, "Oh my god, is it so late? I guess you're all starving, right?"
Then she took everyone to the restaurant and prepared to divert everyone's attention with dinner.
It's just that before that, she didn't have much thought to prepare dinner. If it was to be cooked now, she was a little pressed for time, so she could only make some simple sandwiches.
But no one had much appetite. Mr. Weasley, Kingsley, Mad-Eye Moody and several other adults sat there, drinking one glass after another, with the same worry in their eyes.
Although nothing was said, Kyle knew what they were thinking.
...Dumbledore.
The Death Eaters gave up their actions here only because there were more important reasons, such as besieging Dumbledore who was alone.
Now Dumbledore is abroad, with almost no helpers, and the best chance to kill him.
As long as he can be killed, Voldemort will have no opponent at all. When he comes back, he can run sideways here. Whether it is controlling the Ministry of Magic or attacking Hogwarts, he no longer needs to worry about anything.
Looking at it this way, it really doesn't seem to matter what happens to Harry.
……
To be honest, Kyle actually wanted to help, but he had no idea where Dumbledore had gone, nor did Professor McGonagall and others in the Order of the Phoenix.
The only good thing now is that Dumbledore still has Fawkes with him.
The Phoenix can help Dumbledore resist a life-killing curse, and can also take him away from the battlefield instantly in critical moments. Even if he really can't be defeated, escaping is definitely no problem... I hope it's okay.
I don’t know what happened, but Kyle suddenly thought of Nurmengard again...
He shook his head, picked up a sandwich and stuffed it into his mouth, trying to calm down.
If Voldemort really went to Nurmengard, there would be no need to worry. Grindelwald and Dumbledore would join forces, and they would probably be able to hang all the Death Eaters and Voldemort on the tower for decoration.
Thinking of this, Kyle took a deep breath and started eating his dinner.
But others were still not in the mood. A bottle of firewhiskey was quickly drunk. Sirius was about to open the second bottle, but was stopped by Mr. Weasley. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, we need stay awake."
Sirius could only give up.
What he said made sense. No matter what the Death Eaters' plan was, they had to stay awake to deal with what might happen at any time.
If you can't drink, you can only use drinks instead. Hot cocoa, pumpkin juice, milk and the like were all found.
Everyone was sitting at the dining table, but no one knew what they were waiting for. It might be Dumbledore, or it might be something else, but no one took the initiative to ask for information.
As time passed, some bad suspicions weighed on their hearts like frost, and the cold chill became more and more intolerable.
Until a frivolous voice came from behind them.
"You guys are so laid-back."
Phineas Black didn't know when he appeared in his portrait, looking at everyone leisurely.
"Tell me, is there any news?" Sirius asked eagerly.
From early on, the portrait of Phineas acted as an informant, passing information from Dumbledore to members of the Order of the Phoenix.
"Is this your attitude towards your great-great-grandfather?" Phineas was very dissatisfied with Sirius's attitude and refused to speak with a straight face.
"Hurry up!" Sirius said impatiently, "or I will throw away your portrait. Even if you use the permanent sticking spell, I can take down the entire wall. You know, I said Do it.”
"What a prodigal son. Why did the Black family have such an outlier like you!" Phineas' face turned even more ugly, but in order not to leave his ancestral home, he still said with a straight face:
"That Fudge is dead!"
The room fell into silence again, but he didn't know if it was an illusion. Kyle always felt that several people had expressions of relief, as if they were glad that the news was not what they imagined.
Only Hermione looked in disbelief.
"You mean the Minister of Magic?" she asked, almost screaming.
"Why, didn't I make it clear enough?" Phineas raised his eyebrows, "Then let me say it again, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, was killed by Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic."
"Okay, shut up, we understand." Sirius interrupted him again,
Phineas glanced at him with disgust, and then said in a mocking tone: "Just an hour ago, the Ministry of Magic was attacked by a large number of Death Eaters. With the help of internal agents, they directly found the hiding place in the office. of Fudge, and killed him.
"I thought you guys already knew that."
No one paid attention to his tone.
