HP Polar Night

Chapter 95 Who is the Traitor

When the news of Peter Pedrew's allegiance to Voldemort was secretly confirmed, Sirius cleared himself of suspicion.Now, as the core figure of the Order of the Phoenix, he is on the front line of hunting down Death Eaters and fighting against the forces of darkness.Today, under the order of Dumbledore, I came to the Ministry of Magic to discuss with the new Minister Scrimgeour the capture of the Death Eaters.

Because the matter was being carried out in secret, he and several members of the Order of the Phoenix used Polyjuice Potion to pretend to go.

Moody didn't use Polyjuice Potion, but as a veteran retired Auror, he had come to the Ministry in good standing.In his presence, not even the invisibility cloak can escape his evil eye.

This operation was jointly organized by the Auror Division of the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix. Using the information they obtained from various parties, they intend to launch a siege operation at the next Death Eater gathering.This operation was very dangerous, because the Dark Lord was likely to be present, but Dumbledore said he would use other methods to lure Voldemort away, and out of trust in the old man, Scrimgeour agreed.

According to reliable inside information, the Death Eaters will hold a party at Malfoy Manor next Wednesday.After Voldemort's resurrection, Lucius Malfoy sacrificed his manor to preserve his own life and status.This centuries-old castle is occupied by dementors, werewolves, and various miscellaneous people.For Lucius, it was probably the most humiliating moment in the history of the Malfoy family.

When the Death Eaters gather, Dumbledore will distract Voldemort.As soon as the Dark Lord leaves the manor, their undercover agents among the Death Eaters will spread the news as soon as possible, and the long-awaited Aurors and Order of the Phoenix will quickly surround them and set up an anti-apparition barrier to stop the Death Eaters leave.

It can be said that this encirclement and suppression operation used all available manpower. In order to prevent undercover agents from the dark camp among them, everyone involved in the operation signed a confidentiality agreement promising their lives.As long as someone tries to leak the secret, he will be strangled by his own oath immediately.

That afternoon, the Death Eaters went to Malfoy Manor one after another.

As the owner of the manor, no, it should be regarded as the former owner now, Lucius did not come out to treat guests with the attitude of the master as before.On the contrary, he stood in the corner, quietly observing the people who came to the manor.

The vulgar werewolf who told dirty jokes, the lunatic who compared with each other who killed the most Muggles, the greedy dementor who guarded the gate of the manor...

A sneer twitched on Lucius' lips.

See what his estate looks like now.

"Lucius, my friend, why are you standing here alone? Don't you want to join us?" Rudolphs Lestrange came over with a wine glass and shouted loudly on purpose.He is Bellatrix's husband, and because Bella and Narcissa are sisters, they are brothers-in-law.

Once upon a time, the Lestrange family, like the Malfoy family, was one of the top pure-blood wizard families in the wizarding world.But when the last two heirs of the family, Rudolphs and Rabastan, were both imprisoned and sentenced to life imprisonment, the Lestrange family gradually declined.Many properties that originally belonged to this surname were also divided among the surviving families, and of course the Malfoy family must have a share.

It's no wonder that after coming out of Azkaban, Death Eaters like Rudolphs became dissatisfied with people like Lucius who escaped trial and lived a nourishing life.

Lucius showed a reserved smile quite gracefully: "Rudolphs, I heard that our poor little Barty was unfortunately hit by Moody's petrification curse because he told you to go first. I was just thinking, sure enough. Or your luck is better than his."

Originally, Barty Crouch Jr. was at the forefront, as the "most loyal servant" recognized by the master, and also made an important contribution to the master's resurrection plan. He was the main figure rescued by the Death Eaters.

In the battle of Azkaban, when Barty Jr. was killed by the Petrification Curse and the Powder Curse, Rudolphs happened to be standing next to him.If someone insisted that it was because he saw the petrification curse and pushed little Barty to block it, which caused the other party's accidental death, some people would believe it.

Rudolphs didn't dare to bet on this eventuality. In fact, Barty Jr. didn't come back with them, which already made Voldemort very angry.If Lucius really ran desperately to talk to his master about the possibility, it would be difficult for Rudolphs to convince himself that he would escape.

He said a few words with a dry smile, and walked away impatiently.

Lucius sneered.

The Death Eaters gathered in Malfoy Manor, the Order of the Phoenix and the Auror Division waited for orders.

At this time, Dumbledore appeared in an unexpected place.

If Agares was here, he would be able to recognize it at a glance—Gaunt's old house.The last bloodline of Slytherin was cut off here. Merope Gaunt and Muggle Tom Riddle gave birth to a half-blood child, who is the famous Dark Lord in the wizarding world.Agares had found this house when he was searching for the Dark Lord's life experience.But it stopped because of the terrible black magic around the house, and it is still not sure to go in to explore the secrets until now.

The spell, which was quite tricky and dangerous for Agares, was extremely simple for Dumbledore.His footsteps didn't slow down much, and he went deeper while lifting the spell.Finally, after night fell completely, he entered the house.

I don't know how long it has passed, but it seems to be just ten minutes.Dumbledore came out, clutching his arm, looking very bad.After leaving the house, he summoned the silver-white patron saint Phoenix to deliver a message to the action team waiting for instructions, and then Apparated away from the scene.

The moment Dumbledore disappeared from the gate of Gaunt's old house, a black shadow appeared at the place where he disappeared with the sound of explosions - if he had been at that moment in the night, he would have bumped into this person head-on superior.

Voldemort felt the pain of being destroyed what originally belonged to him, and anger intertwined in his blood red eyes! "Dumbledore!" He didn't need to guess at all, he had immediately deduced that the only one who could appear here, break in and destroy that thing was Dumbledore!

In a rage, the Dark Lord waved the wand in his hand, and the dilapidated and decayed old house quickly turned into ruins.

Immediately, the suspicious Voldemort remembered something, and disappeared into black smoke again.

No one knows what happened tonight in this old abandoned house in the suburbs, no, maybe besides the two parties involved, there is another...

Agares put away the crystal ball in his hand, thinking carefully.

Dumbledore's appearance in Gaunt's old house must not be accidental.If there is anyone in the wizarding world who knows a lot about Voldemort, Dumbledore must be the first candidate.The one who knows you best will definitely be your enemy.Why did Dumbledore go to Gaunt's old house at this time?He was obviously injured when he came out, who was notified with the patron saint?Hadn't Voldemort been hiding from Dumbledore all the time, why did he appear there in the first place, and he was obviously furious.

Perhaps Voldemort put something important to him in the old house and protected it with countless black magic.But Dumbledore learned the news, went to take the things away, and touched the restriction.Voldemort originally wanted to stop it, but found it was too late.

If his conjecture is correct, what would this thing be?What would make both Voldemort and Dumbledore so important?

Also, if his news is correct, tonight does not seem to be an ordinary night...

After the silver-white phoenix appeared, the long-awaited Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix set off immediately!

A group of people landed near Malfoy Manor with the Portkey prepared in advance. According to the original plan, a small group of people set up an anti-apparition magic circle nearby to prevent the Death Eaters from escaping, while the other people lurked close and directly attacked!

Sirius was the first to bear the brunt, holding his wand and standing at the front of the queue.He had a determined look on his face, and he was not afraid of the vicious werewolves, the terrifying dementors, and the large number of Death Eaters, including his few remaining relatives, who would later face him.

Lupine stood beside him, fighting side by side as he had once been a boy.

Like them, there are Moody, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Di Ge, Dorje, Tonks, Kingsley...

Everyone stands here with the belief of going to death. They know that this battle tonight will largely affect the situation of the wizarding world in the next decade or even decades.As long as the people inside are wiped out, the dark forces will collapse.No matter how powerful the Dark Lord is, he cannot control the entire wizarding world by himself.

So this battle is very important!

Just after the siege operation officially started, before Sirius and the others rushed into the gate of the manor, a large number of wizards in black robes burst out from inside!The two sides are on the verge of firing!

Before they had time to think about why they were discovered by the Death Eaters so quickly, the people in the operation team immediately fell into a hard fight!

If the sneak attack fails, they lose the opportunity.

A round of fighting quickly broke out between the two sides!

Fortunately, the anti-apparition formation had already taken effect, and the Death Eaters present could not leave, otherwise tonight's operation could have been regarded as a complete failure.

The Death Eaters were chaotic, fighting on their own, in a state of disunity, while the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix all cooperated with each other.For a moment, the Death Eaters were at a disadvantage.

"The magic circle is here!" One of the Death Eaters shouted loudly when he spotted the Aurors standing outside who were arranging the magic circle.

The experienced Aurors immediately realized that the Death Eaters were about to abandon the battle and flee!The center of the battle gradually moved closer to the edge of the magic circle, and finally, the Death Eaters broke through the circle.When the first Death Eater Apparated away, the rest left the battlefield and fled one after another!

"Damn it!" Sirius threw a stun spell at the Death Eaters who couldn't escape, facing the ruined manor after the war, full of anger.

At this time, Lupine noticed a familiar figure falling near the gate, and he walked over and lifted the mask of the other person.

"Lucius Malfoy?!"

All the people present did not know this person, and they all looked over, only to see that lying on the ground was the owner of the manor, Lucius Malfoy.He seemed to be under a petrification spell, lying stiffly next to the broken stone carving, motionless.

"I didn't expect Malfoy to be the first to escape, hehe, Merlin bless you." Moody, who hated the Death Eaters so much, laughed mockingly.

Kingsley Shacklebolt, the new director in charge of the Auror Division, waved his wand, conjured up a rope to tie up the Death Eaters on the ground, and said, "Take them back to the Ministry of Magic first."

The failure of the siege operation made everyone depressed.But they also knew that now was not the time to be angry, and the Death Eaters must have gotten the news beforehand for attacking so quickly.They must find out how the Death Eaters got the news!Could it be that there are traitors among them?

The author has something to say:

1. Who is the traitor?

2. How did Lucius get caught?

3. Voldemort didn't come back to the manor at the first time, where did he go?
