How to break into a ring

More than a year ago Voldemort had used what Harry had glimpsed to set a trap and set up an ambush in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries, and what he had shown Harry was something that never happened: Sirius was killed by Death Eaters We got it.

In the end, the Death Eaters were repelled, but the Order of the Phoenix who came to rescue also paid the price, and Sirius died.

The same thing happened again now, and Voldemort knew that the locket Horcrux had been stolen. Of course, he would guard against whether what he saw was true, but for the Dark Lord, the Order of the Phoenix without Dumbledore was easy to deal with. The Boy Who Lived would never have another chance to escape.

Under the Hogwarts Night, it's a good idea to try to solve all the problems together.

Voldemort didn't pay attention to opponents other than Grindelwald. Even if the locket was a trap, he would still come.This is confidence in strength, and moreover, Horcruxes are too important.

There are only so many human souls, and even the Dark Lord, who recklessly divides the soul, has to face the embarrassing situation of indivisible parts. In order to live forever, he needs to have enough Horcruxes just in case.

Voldemort thought it would be easy to break the trap of the Order of the Phoenix, and he ordered several members of the Order to be captured alive.

Death Eaters attacked the Burrow,

There was no other reason why he chose the Weasleys' family. He had more family members... After running a few, he could always catch others. Unfortunately, he didn't meet Harry Potter at the Burrow.

The torch was burning brightly, illuminating the clearing. Fay was still standing on half of the tree trunk. The devil vine was hovering in the air like a snake. The tip of the vine seemed to be probing for something in the air. The twisted and dark appearance became more and more ferocious. They slide and slowly expand the territory they occupy.

First the bushes, and then a few nearby trees. The plants began to wither one after another. The sharp thorns of the devil vine pierced into it to absorb nutrients. Its appearance in the night was so terrifying that the Death Eaters couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The battlefield in the rear also moved closer, the sound of spell fighting gradually stopped, and the open space by the Forbidden Forest was neatly divided into three groups.

The most numerous are the Death Eaters.

The latter part is the Order of the Phoenix, mainly the professors of Hogwarts, with Professor McGonagall at the front, Lupine and Mad-Eye Moody, and——

"Well, what did I see? A savior who stood up bravely? A savior who couldn't even save his godfather?"

Harry gripped his wand tightly amidst the jeers, and Lupine blocked him deliberately.

The number of people in the Order of the Phoenix is ​​too small, Ron and Hermione are also there, and there are some students from Hogwarts, most of whom are DA members. These are the students who refused to leave when they evacuated. The professors used to Forced them to leave, but one of the Ravenclaws said his parents had been killed by Death Eaters a few days ago...

The intimidated wizards among the Death Eaters trembled, desperate and terrified.

Compared with the mess on the Death Eaters side, the Order of the Phoenix has a small number of people and underage wizards. The saints standing on the far right are much neater. They are all wearing gray cloaks with hoods, unlike the Death Eaters. With their masks on, most of the saints were expressionless, with neither anger nor tension in their eyes.

The person in the front has a pair of gray-blue eyes with clear outlines, and a cold arc at the corner of his mouth. His eyes always look at people as if they were looking at a corpse.This is Von Erman, who has been wanted throughout Europe for 50 years, the shadow of the leader of the saints, and Grindelwald's most trusted subordinate. In the era when terror spread across Europe, the number of times he appeared was also limited, but every time he was very important to the war. have a major impact.The name is fake. No one knows his origin. Some people say that he rebelled after Grindelwald was imprisoned in Nurmengard. After 50 years, no one could find him, but now he miraculously appeared in U.K.

A few short encounters and a defeated battle have already made Voldemort guess that there is a powerful planner on the side of the Saints, and the tactical style is very familiar. It is not to exchange the smallest price for the greatest success, but to be stingy. He refused to leave the price to the opponent, and at the same time forced the enemy to continue to fight - Voldemort once carefully investigated everything about the saints in Grindelwald's most glorious time - this is Von Erman, absolutely right.

"What a night!"

Voldemort seemed not at all surprised by the appearance of the saints, his scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, scanning the saints who were barely two or three more than the Order of the Phoenix.

In the evening, news spread that the Death Eaters would take action, but in the end, only a few saints came out?

Confrontation on two sides... No, it is actually a three-sided confrontation now. The members of the Order of the Phoenix did not point their wands at the saints. It seems that they had communicated beforehand, but the wizards of the Order of the Phoenix were very vigilant, especially Mad-Eye Moody , the fake eyeballs rolled over, staring closely at the situation on the saint's side.

Fay was the most laid back of them all, he just had to watch the show because the person he was waiting for hadn't shown up yet.

What?It wasn't his job to defeat the Dark Lord.

It was the first time for Melkor to experience this kind of battlefield spectating that had nothing to do with him. Those werewolves couldn't jump over the devil vine, and the magical attack on Fay was just like setting off fireworks.His indifferent attitude had obviously irritated many people, but not Voldemort.

Because of the rock cake incident, Fay didn't intend to destroy the Horcruxes. The Dark Lord always speculates on others in the dark. Since Fay doesn't care about the lives of the Weasley family wizards at all, he will use them to deal with Phoenix. Society.

"George! Fred! Damn it!" The Order of the Phoenix really felt bad.

The professor and the students looked at Fay suspiciously, and at the same time were shocked by the terrifyingly changing devil vine.They don't understand why Fay is indifferent at this critical moment, and has no intention of helping at all.

The Gryffindor trio understood why, but they still felt dizzy in the face of such a situation.

"Be careful and avoid those devil vines," Hermione whispered.

Under her leadership, Harry and Ron, who were forced to look through a certain set of books forcibly, looked at the person leisurely leaning on the half-broken tree trunk under the firelight with complicated expressions.Fay's smile had become sly in their eyes, his laid-back manner evil, and even the silence now was a twisted hobby ready to enjoy more death.

——In the distance, Fay glanced at the Order of the Phoenix following the strange sense of gaze.

"Merlin! He found us..." Ron was nervous.

Hermione stomped on him hard, "Shut up, he just glanced at it, how could he possibly guess that he is a person in a story, don't yell."

Time was running out, and they didn't have time to tell the others in the Order of the Phoenix about Fay's identity. They only vaguely said that it was very dangerous and very problematic.The most troublesome thing is that Dumbledore gave Harry their advice before coming here-don't worry about it.

"But he is..."

"Miss Granger, when dealing with issues that are unfamiliar to us, some choices are necessary. All conflicts can be traced to interests, and this is also the way to avoid it," Dumbledore said gently but insisted, "I understand your concerns What it is, but you see, no matter who we are facing, whether it is our best friend or standing in front of the most trusted person, we will insist in our conversation that we are more correct."

"..."

"That's it, everyone is." The white wizard finally blinked.

Obviously Dumbledore was giving them a hint, and Ron felt it too, but what was it suggesting?Hermione frowned incomprehensibly—the terrifying Morgoth also had troubles, had a misunderstanding with someone, and his target would only be that person?

As the war was approaching, Hermione was also very nervous, and her mind was even more chaotic. The names of people in countless stories flew by, but she couldn't find the person who fit this guess, that is, she had a good relationship with Fay but had serious conflicts.

Hermione felt that Harry's body was a little stiff, and she regained consciousness immediately.

Voldemort was looking at this side, holding the yew wand in his hand, his eyes were dangerous: "Harry Potter."

His voice was low, like part of the crackle of a burning torch.

"Boy Who Lived, your life succeeded in a prophecy. You have escaped from me many times, but it was not because of your rightness, but more because of my mistakes. I will not give you such Chance……"

Voldemort suddenly picked up his wand, spread it out ironically, and waved his arm, like the etiquette of an aristocratic wizard before a duel, but instead of facing Harry Potter, he pointed directly at Von Erman on the saint's side.

"I foresaw this fantastic night, and sadly, 'Non-Von Ermann', it looks like you don't really have Grindelwald's trust."

In the quiet open space, the shocked crowd began to whisper, but they soon held back.

Only the Order of the Phoenix looked at the opposite saints who slightly changed their movements because of these words, puzzled.

"What is the mysterious man talking about?"

More wizards are asking: "Who is Von Ermann?"

"The shadow of Grindelwald, some people say, is very powerful. It participated in and affected the war that year, but after Grindelwald's defeat, no one saw him for 50 years. It turned out that he also went to England..." Age and Mai Almost any wizard knows Professor Greg.

A Death Eater also stood up over there, talking loudly about von Erman's pitifully few deeds. As an important figure of the saint, although he did few things, the methods were also cruel and terrifying.

"The only people who can't be caught are 'non-existent people'." Voldemort stopped his subordinates from continuing, looking at Von Erman with scarlet eyes.

"Why Grindelwald gave up England at the beginning shows that he has better means, or maybe he has other preparations on the British side. You are not a German, and this appearance is not yours. The Order of the Phoenix will not provide saints to enter Huo Gwarz’s method, but you guys know something about the terrain here. Do you want to continue to hide it? A wizard with a certain status in the UK, it’s a pity that you didn’t join the Death Eaters, you gave up the elimination of Muggles long ago Thoughts, you can only reappear because you are afraid of Grindelwald?" Voldemort sneered hoarsely.

—Exactly as he had guessed.

Von Erman didn't bring many people. This was due to Grindelwald's distrust. It may also be that after receiving the news of the Death Eaters' night attack, Von Erman refused to believe Grindelwald and did not report the news.

The crowd of Death Eaters parted, and a familiar figure stepped out.

"Snape!" Lupine threw the spell angrily.

"Wait, don't move yet!" Professor McGonagall stopped him.

Snape walked up to Voldemort without looking sideways, bent down, and handed a bottle over.

"Show true water."

Voldemort grabbed the bottle and said with a distorted laugh, "Let me see who you are."

Harry suddenly had a bad feeling that an answer was on the horizon, but he didn't dare to guess that way.

This must not be true.

Fay, who was watching from the tree, was more nervous than anyone else—how did this plot develop?It turned out like this, who is Feng Erman?It's terrible, a character like this suddenly appeared, the most troublesome part of the story is that it doesn't have all the details.

"Maybe, an old friend of ours," said Voldemort lightly. "If Dumbledore is alive, I can't wait to invite him over to see what he calls love. Maybe it's a betrayer, Fudge? That one?" Coward, or someone none of us can think of? No, no, maybe I have a wilder guess. Who can prove that Dumbledore is dead?"

Everyone held their breath.

"I'm honored, Tom. Under such circumstances, you still remember an old man who didn't arrive in time." Suddenly, an old wizard in a star robe came out of the dark path in the Forbidden Forest.

"Dumbledore?" The unbelievable voice sounded particularly neat this time regardless of camp.

Harry looked at the wizard in surprise, and then at Von Erman. Could it be that Voldemort guessed everything wrong just now?

This change was too fast, and Fay enjoyed watching Voldemort's sharply constricted pupils for half a minute, then stood up and looked around.

—Strange, even the White Wizard has arrived, where is Sauron?

Wait, Fay looked down at "a certain dress" who was completely buried by oak branches and leaves, and now covered by devil vines so that he couldn't even see his shadow.

Sauron can occupy the body of the dead for a short time, even if he has sneaked in, no one will be able to find out.

The author has something to say: Well, to put it simply, Fay designed the first trap.

In fact, Voldemort was not fooled (of course he didn't guess Fay's strength), he was planning to wipe out the Order of the Phoenix and a small part of the Saints.The breakthrough point was that he found Von Erman to be very strange.The backbone of the saint, who has fled without a trace for 50 years, the answer is of course that there has never been such a person. Von Erman is a person who regularly changes his identity by using potions or magic items. The real identity is someone else, so who is it...

But von Erman is actually part of the trap Dumbledore set up against Voldemort... If Voldemort doesn't feel that he has a chance to win, how can he come here? How can he catch all of them in one go?
