Chapter 639 Tom, long time no see

Andy sat in the corner, invisible, watching the life-and-death duel between Aurors and Death Eaters with great interest.

Although the Aurors relied on their numerical superiority, as well as professional training and cooperation, they had the upper hand in the entire battle. However, the crazy resistance of the Death Eaters also made some Aurors feel helpless.

The 'craziest' Death Eaters, such as Barty Crouch Jr., really risked their lives. They fought with no regard for their own lives, and every move was aimed at killing someone.

In comparison, Aurors are somewhat mixed.

Although some Aurors insist on fighting for justice, they fight with all their strength, regardless of life or death.

But for many Aurors, 'Auror' is just a job. All they pursue is the high salary of the Auror profession... nothing more!

Desperately?

nonexistent!

Of course, paddling is definitely not possible either.

Paddling in such a life-and-death battle, what's the difference between that and courting death?

These Aurors have their own way of survival.

When you have the advantage, attack with others. But once they are at a disadvantage, these people's defense can be summed up in one sentence - a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist.

"No wonder Dumbledore wanted to establish the Order of the Phoenix!" Andy thought to himself.

The overall strength of the Aurors is indeed very strong, but they are really unable to fight against a headwind situation.

The fact is: in this short battle, when the Aurors had the numerical advantage and forced the Death Eaters back, the number of casualties suffered by the Aurors was greater than that of the Death Eaters.

Simply outrageous!

The battle continued, and the Death Eaters retreated again and again, and now they were gradually approaching the Floo Network fireplace.

"Don't let them escape!" yelled Scrimgeour.

As soon as he finished speaking, green flames ignited in a fireplace, and Voldemort's figure emerged from the flames.

"..."

The whole place was silent for a moment, and everyone stopped unconsciously.

"Mystery man!!"

I don't know who yelled, and then the Aurors collectively took a step back. Lucius Malfoy even retreated to the back of the crowd, not wanting to show his face at all.

In this way, Scrimgeour and Mad-Eye Moody, who did not retreat, stood out.

Voldemort's deterrence is still very strong.

In the last battle of the Ministry of Magic, although Voldemort failed to capture Andy, anyone with a discerning eye could see that after Voldemort got serious, he suppressed Andy in an instant.

Before fighting Andy, Voldemort had suppressed dozens of Aurors head-on with just one person.

If Dumbledore had not appeared in time, the outcome of the last war would have been difficult to predict.

Of course, the facts are facts, and the propaganda in the newspapers is another matter.

Voldemort held his wand and walked to the front of the Death Eater team with a leisurely expression. All the Death Eaters lowered their heads and retreated to the sides, and a few of them looked at Voldemort with fanaticism.

The Aurors had serious expressions on their faces, and no one dared to take the lead.

Voldemort's eyes swept across everyone, and finally stopped on Lucius Malfoy, "Lucius, my old friend...don't you dare to see me?"

Lucius's face was as pale as paper, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his whole body was shaking involuntarily, looking extremely pitiful.

"Huh? Lucius?" Seeing Lucius Malfoy hiding behind the crowd and pretending to be dead, Voldemort raised his voice slightly.

"Lord...Dark Lord..." Lucius responded tremblingly.

He has betrayed him, so continuing to call him 'Master' is not an option.

There's something wrong about being called a 'mysterious man'.

I dare not call him ‘Voldemort’.

After some brainstorming, Lucius Malfoy decided to call Voldemort the ‘Dark Lord’.

It shows respect without being too flattering.

"hey-hey!"

Voldemort looked at Lucius Malfoy with playful eyes, "Lucius, I trust you so much and gave you the most important thing... but you betrayed me!"

"You said...how should I punish you?"

Lucius was trembling and dared not speak, and at the same time he was already cursing in his mind: What is that guy Dumbledore doing? Why haven't you shown up yet? This is too unreliable!

"Lucius?" Voldemort raised his voice again, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

Apparently, if Lucius Malfoy didn't answer, he would never speak again.

Lucius Malfoy naturally understands this.

"Dark, Dark Lord..."

Lucius Malfoy thought a lot, but finally decided to tell the truth, "I lost what you gave me... I know you will never let me go."

This is true!

Even Voldemort himself had to admit that when he learned that Lucius Malfoy had lost his diary and 'sent' it to Dumbledore, he really wanted to kill Lucius Malfoy. Malfoy.

Even if Lucius Malfoy still has some use value, he must die after the use is over.

Thinking about it this way, Lucius Malfoy's betrayal is not surprising.

In contrast, the other undercover suspect, Severus Snape, was naturally not suspected.

When Snape learned that Voldemort was still alive, he immediately found Voldemort and later worked hard for Voldemort's resurrection.

It's just that Snape also has to take care of the task of "undercover in Hogwarts", so it's difficult for him to move freely.

For this reason, Snape specially found Lucius Malfoy and Peter Pettigrew to help him.

These performances are enough to be called loyal.

Logically speaking, Voldemort should not doubt Snape.

But there is a premise.

Fourteen years ago, when Snape learned that the so-called savior was Lily's son Harry Potter, he took the initiative to find Voldemort and begged him not to kill Lily.

Voldemort agreed very happily.

As for the result... Avada is in trouble!

Lily's death is a knot between the two. Voldemort also took the initiative to test Snape, but Snape said he didn't care about it - compared with immortality and the greatness of black magic, what is a mere Lily?

Now it seems that Snape is still very loyal.

And he is also very capable!

Voldemort was naturally very satisfied with this... Of course, in Voldemort's heart, only he could live forever, and only he could live forever.

Then what happened next...

Voldemort looked at Lucius Malfoy with cold eyes.

Killing him directly would be too easy, the betrayer must live a life worse than death!

Voldemort would torture him in the most cruel way in front of everyone.

The time is... 10,000 years!

The war was about to start!

Boom!

At this moment, a green flame ignited in a fireplace again, and Dumbledore walked out of the flame with a serious face.

"Tom, long time no see!"
