Chapter 1338: Invasion of the castle

After Albert announced tonight's rescue plan to everyone, there was a burst of whispering in the conference room, and the noise became louder and louder. Everyone was complaining about assisting the Order of the Phoenix, thinking that it would be done by the Defense Association Able to complete this rescue operation alone.

"Quiet."

Albert tapped the table with his fingers, quieting the noisy meeting room again.

"Anyway, someone needs to help expel the large number of dementors outside the castle, and stop the dark wizards who may come to reinforce them, so as to avoid the team being pinched from front to back, and at the same time, we need to buy enough time to rescue Ollivander and others. When everyone in the conference room was staring at him, Albert explained in a leisurely manner, "Moreover, the group of people who were captured by the Death Eaters were drawn into the team against the mysterious man, and the Phoenix It’s obviously more appropriate to come over from the agency.”

"We are fully capable of rescuing those captured by the Death Eaters alone." Lee Jordan raised his hand to express his opinion.

Everyone felt that in the case of a surprise attack, the unsuspecting Death Eaters would block their attack at all, not to mention Albert was present. They never doubted that Albert alone could easily eliminate the group of Death Eaters. only.

However, after being stared at by Albert for a while, Lee Jordan obediently shut up.

"This is never a game. I need to be responsible for all those who are willing to believe in me, instead of increasing the risk of accidents that may occur due to impulsive actions." After Albert asked Shannah to announce the list of members participating in tonight's operation, he then Start explaining tonight's action.

"As far as I know, that old castle is Yaxley's secret base. Maybe it has other uses besides being a prison for important people." Albert said to Kenneth: "I I need someone to help me search the castle, if there are valuable medicinal materials, raw materials or items, take them all away, remember to bring your dragon leather gloves."

After the meeting, Kenneth laughed and quipped: "Looks like we're running low on funds again."

"Our funds will never be enough. Think about the free items provided to official members. You don't expect me to pay for this bottomless pit. Even if I have money, it's not enough. As for letting other people pay for it, you can count on it No more." Albert shook his head and said, although the four of them did earn a lot of Galleons during this period of chaos, but with the expansion of the Defense Association, the consumption of Galleons has gradually increased, and the money is not worth it. It will be created out of thin air, and filling this hole with the wealth of the enemy is undoubtedly the best choice at present.

"Leave it to me!"

Kenneth didn't dislike doing such a thing. He also knew how difficult it was for Albert to maintain the Defense Association, but he still asked casually, "However, how do you plan to turn those things into Galleons?"

"There's always someone who can help us with our problems."

"Mundungus Fletcher?" Kenneth guessed who Albert was talking about, and not only shook his head, "That guy is not reliable."

"A thief has the purpose of being a thief, and he can also contribute to defeating the mysterious man." Albert said calmly.

"I can help you...keep an eye on him." Kenny thought about taking this lucrative job.

"You should look further." Albert shook his head and said, "That's just a little money."

Kenneth was a little speechless, as if he had heard this sentence more than once.

Well, he seemed to have said something similar to his father back then.

Why is it my turn now?

Finally Kenneth shrugged and gave up trying to make money for himself.

Since finalizing this matter, the entire association has become extremely excited.

If they can successfully destroy the secret prison of the Death Eaters and rescue the captured Ollivander and his group, they will be able to add a lot of help, especially after losing Ollivander, the dark wizard who was robbed of his wand It's hard to get a reliable wand on short notice.

That was undoubtedly another great victory.

If you want to completely defeat the mysterious man, you need to accumulate your own advantages through victory after victory, and by the way, weaken and suppress the number of mysterious man's minions.

While Albert was formulating a plan and mobilizing members of the Defense Association, the Order of the Phoenix ran into a little trouble.

Harry also wanted to be part of this rescue operation.

Most members of the Order of the Phoenix were unwilling to let Harry take the risk, but Harry's reasons made them unable to refute.

"Wizards in the entire British wizarding world need to boost their confidence. Having me participate in this operation can boost everyone's confidence and make everyone realize that I am leading everyone to resist the mysterious man.

Moreover, I also need to let the mysterious person know what I have been doing recently, so as to cover up my real purpose, so as to reassure him. "

Harry really doesn't think there is any danger in this operation. At present, the mysterious person is still abroad. Even if he receives the news and rushes back from abroad, it will take time. As long as they can complete the rescue mission within the time scheduled by Albert, there is no problem at all. How much risk is required.

"Okay Harry, but it's important that you follow orders." Sirius nodded in agreement.

"Sirius."

Mrs. Weasley frowned deeply, dissatisfied with Sirius' decision.

"Harry knows exactly what he's doing."

Kingsley hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.

As long as they follow Albert's plan, they usually won't get into too much trouble. Moreover, as Harry said, having him participate in this operation can invisibly increase everyone's confidence, which is especially important when calling on everyone to stand up against the mysterious man.

It was not only Kingsley who thought this way, but other members of the Order of the Phoenix also agreed. The only requirement was that Harry must obey the command.

Mrs Weasley was not happy about it.

After the meeting, Sirius called Harry alone.

"What is it, Sirius."

Harry followed Sirius into the room suspiciously.

"This is for you, remember to wear it under your clothes." Sirius handed Harry a leather jacket.

"What's this?"

Harry examined the leather jacket in his hands curiously.

"Dragon leather jacket, I asked Anderson to customize it for you." Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Remember to obey the command for tonight's operation, and Anderson will ask people from the Defense Association to help us buy time, and it must be done within ten minutes." End the mission and save people."

"Is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?" Harry raised his eyebrows slightly, as if thinking of the reason why Albert asked them to complete it within ten minutes, "Is it because you are worried that the mysterious person will rush back from abroad?"

"Yes, no one can be sure whether the mysterious person will appear suddenly. It is unwise to confront them directly now. We are just saving people in the past. The success of the operation is more important." Sirius continued to explain to Harry: " The internal response speed of the Death Eaters is very slow. If they encounter a surprise attack late at night, they will definitely not be able to react in a short time. Moreover, not all Death Eaters have the courage to use the Dark Mark to summon the mysterious person. Once things are messed up, The dark wizard who used the Dark Mark to summon You-Know-Who will be severely punished, and most importantly... My-Know-Who should not be able to figure out what happened in England in ten minutes, and rush back from abroad."

This is the benefit of a surprise attack. No matter who encounters it, the reaction is actually the same.

Having said that, this is actually a tactic used by the Death Eaters before, but it was carried forward by Albert and used on them in turn.

It can be said that it is the other way and the other body.

"Harry, what are you holding?"

Ron, who had just returned to the bedroom and was discussing the meeting with Hermione, noticed the leather jacket in Harry's hand with sharp eyes.

"Dragon leather jacket," Harry explained to the two, "Sirius just gave it to me."

"It's very expensive, one piece costs a few hundred Galleons." Ron took the dragon leather jacket from Harry enviously, "Fred and George also have a similar piece of clothing, and it is said that this thing is very powerful. It can easily block ordinary spells and weaken the power of black magic."

"Can it only defend against ordinary spells?"

To be honest, Harry didn't care too much, in his opinion, this thing was better than those defensive items.

"No no, Harry, trust me, this dragon leather jacket is worth the money."

Whether the dragon leather jacket was worth the money, Harry didn't know, he only knew that it was very expensive, which made him want to return it to Albert, but this kind of custom-made product obviously didn't have a return function.

In the following time, everyone was studying the rescue plan, and observed the number of Death Eaters and the location of the hostages in the castle through the Marauder's Map, and proposed and analyzed how to solve the problems encountered.

"I'd bet Anderson was planting spies among the Death Eaters."

After seeing the Marauder's Map, Ron whispered to Hermione.

If it weren't for the manpower placed inside the castle, it would definitely not be possible to accurately obtain the structural diagram of the castle, let alone create this Marauder's Map.

"He probably used the Imperius Curse to control a certain unlucky Death Eater and asked him to provide him with information. I remember that the mysterious man killed Avery not long ago. It is said that the guy was a traitor."

Moody didn't think there was any problem with this. On the contrary, he admired Albert's ability very much. Not everyone can insert people into the Death Eaters without being discovered.

As for using the Unforgivable Curse?

Then let's discuss after winning this wizard war.

What's more, they didn't have any evidence to prove that Albert used the Imperius Curse on the Death Eaters.

After a simple dinner, everyone took sleep aids and went back to rest.

Before the darkness before dawn, almost all the energetic members of the Order of the Phoenix were dispatched.

It's just that they were unlucky, as soon as they Apparated they ran into bad weather.

It was pouring rain in the dark night sky, and the icy cold rain hit his face, making Harry shiver uncontrollably.

"I hate rain!"

Harry tightened his raincloak and moved closer to Ron and Hermione's position.

"Are we going to wait for them here?" Ron asked in a low voice.

"No, we have to go to the pre-arranged meeting point to meet them. Everyone follow, don't leave alone."

Moody took off on his broomstick and motioned for everyone to follow.

A pair of broomsticks flew across the dark wilderness, and under the guidance of Moody, they went to the back of the hill not far away. When they hurriedly arrived while staring at the heavy rain, they were shocked to find that the people from the Defense Association were already waiting for them here.

"Harry, I didn't expect you to join the rescue operation tonight." Angelina greeted Harry proactively.

"Long time no see Angelina, I heard they said you joined the Quidditch club." Harry was a little surprised to see Angelina here, saying that the Gryffindor team seemed to be brave enough to stand up against the mysterious man.

"Okay, be quiet."

Albert stood up from the crowd and used magic to make his voice ring in everyone's ears, suppressing the sound of rain and noise.

"I don't think I need to repeat the respective tasks again. If you really have any questions, you can raise them now. Once you start to act, you need to race against time."

Albert looked around at the crowd, and after confirming that everyone was okay, he waved his hand: "Let's go."

Their goal was the old castle not far from this meeting point, on another hillside, and it only took a few minutes to fly there on a broomstick.

After approaching the castle and noticing the increasingly piercing chill and the traces of the dementors, Albert raised his wand and took the lead in summoning the patron saint.

The members of the Defense Association following Albert also raised their wands and summoned their patron saints to open the way.

These patron saints are like sharp knives, tearing open the night in front of them.

The small number of dementors who were in charge of guarding around the castle were quickly dispersed by the large number of patron saints.

"All master the Patronus Charm!"

Kingsley was surprised to find that this group of young people showed superb defense against the dark arts skills, and seemed to be better at how to cooperate than the Order of the Phoenix.

He'd only seen this level on the Auror team.

After a large group of Patronus helped clear the way, the entire team was not disturbed by the dementors. The Dementor, which Yaxley had placed high hopes on, collapsed directly under the impact of the Patronus.

Who would have thought that someone would dare to forcibly invade an old castle that was heavily protected by a large number of dementors.

"They have found us, you better hurry up."

Albert quickly landed on a hillside. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com raised his wand and waved it forward, like a knight wielding a sharp sword. He actually forcibly tore open the ancient magic covering the periphery of the castle, and wiped out the entire castle. The castle was completely exposed in front of everyone.

"Ron," Moody called.

"What, oh yes."

After being reminded by Hermione, Ron, who was shivering from the cold, immediately reacted and turned on the extinguisher, sucking away all the light sources in the castle, and plunged the surroundings into darkness again.

"Follow."

A few people headed by Kingsley rushed forward against a thick iron plate. They all wore glasses specially prepared by Albert. Even if the surroundings were pitch black, it still didn't have much impact on them.

"I still think it's better to use the Disillusionment Charm to sneak in quietly."

"Don't be stupid, the alarm will be triggered when we get close to the castle, and the people here must have discovered that there is an enemy invasion."

After the Order of the Phoenix flooded into the castle, the Defense Association also began to act according to the original plan.

"Cedric, lead your team to keep the dementors out, and fire flares if there are enemy reinforcements." Albert raised his wand, released the phoenix mark of the Order of the Phoenix into the sky, and then led the others. Clean up the dark wizard stationed near the old castle.

After all, this is the lair of the interest group formed by Yaxley. Naturally, many dark wizards gathered here. After everyone invaded here, it was like poking a hornet's nest, waking up the dark wizards who were still resting in the bed. Except for the night watchmen, most of the dark wizards were still confused about the situation. No one thought that the castle would be invaded one day.

You must know that ancient wizard families usually have strong defensive magic protection, and it is almost difficult to be invaded.

However, this kind of thing actually happened.
