[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

Eli's fingers clenched silently as he gripped the gun again.In the next second, he put the gun back in his pocket, picked up his wand, and joined the battle that had already started.

Without the new weapon that everyone was shocked by, the battle took place in a more traditional way.However, the Death Eaters were not so loyal to Voldemort that they could put their own lives behind them—Eli had guessed so before, and now they faithfully showed this weakness to the members of the Order of the Phoenix. They began to realize that the gang of Death Eaters who had been vigilant, worried, and feared all the time were actually not so indestructible... They may all be keen on destroying and enjoying the privileges over ordinary people, but this kind of Convergence doesn't coalesce into an indestructible force -- they don't turn their backs on each other.

After seeing this, the members of the Order of the Phoenix couldn't help but feel refreshed.The battle ended faster than they had imagined, and it was unbelievably smooth, but with Rodolphs lying in front of them, morale ebbed and flowed, which was not a very strange thing.Not long after, the Death Eaters turned into black shadows and left here. Obviously, they were not prepared and awakened to fight until sacrifice.

As usual, the members who participated in the battle were injured. The wounds of two or three members were left by black magic. The bleeding has not stopped so far, and the injuries are serious. However, no one died. This result can almost be said to be a blessing .Speaking of which, the building of the Order of the Phoenix was the most severely attacked this time. It was broken by a gap, as if the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix had become a building that could be captured by the dark wizard. This is a very bad thing Things need to be repaired as soon as possible, and then the defense system should be upgraded.

However, Eli didn't do this right away. He still stood on the battlefield where finishing work was being done, and walked towards Rodolphs who fell on the ground.

There are already several people around his body—this is the only Death Eater they have successfully subdued this time. Although the other party's attack is huge this time, it seems that it does not have the kind of decisiveness of the final battle, it is more like a It is a daily harassment, but the number of participants is a little more.Eli walked over silently, leaning over to check on Rodolphus who was still unconscious.

"There was a lot of blood. The chest was close to the heart. I guess it's the lungs? I don't quite understand." Marlene McKinnon, who was examining Rodolphs, told him, "The person is still in a coma... But of course, he's still alive. You know what, Eli, you just gave me a fright! I thought you killed him—of course, you can, Rodolphus Lestrange is He deserved it, how many wizards and Muggles lives he has in his hands - to get a kiss from a dementor, and then to be raped in Azkaban for life, this should be his fate, he deserves - But of course, I have to admit, the fact that you didn't kill him gives me the feeling that you're still the same Eli we knew."

Eli smiled faintly, straightened up, and said lightly: "Maybe there is something wrong with the aim of the gun, who knows, hand him over to the Aurors, Alastor will be very happy to take him to stand trial .”

Definitely.Everyone nodded and said in one voice, "Alastor is still working at the Ministry of Magic. He must be very regretful that he failed to arrest Rodolphus himself..."

No one commented on the inaccuracy of his weapon. Everyone has experienced many battles and has worked with him for a long time, knowing the cruelty of battle and what kind of person he is.Eli didn't change the subject, and didn't stay too long in front of Rodolphus's comatose and bleeding body. He quietly left the people gathered here to participate in the work of repairing the headquarters building of the Order of the Phoenix.

Next to him soon stood a person who was repairing with a wand like him.Eli didn't turn his face to look at him, but the other party quickly spoke softly beside him.

"He's not dead," repeated Remus, gazing sideways at Eli and smiling slightly at him.

"What are you laughing at?" Eli moved his lips and asked him, the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"I know what you're getting, and I'm from a mixed family too," Remus said.He still had a smile on his face, looked at him with complicated sighs, looked into his eyes, and shook his head, "A gun, at such a close distance...you didn't aim at him, Eli, you Outraged. But you decided at the last minute to bring Rodolphus Lestrange to justice instead of making yourself a god. Everyone will know, Eli... people can safely put any Power is given to you because you have proven that you will not abuse it."

Eli exhaled slowly, his expression finally changed, he lowered his eyelashes and shook his head.

"...I took it out too early." He murmured, with a little annoyance and self-blame, "My original idea was to be able to take out a weapon and aim at a mysterious person when he was defenseless. , There is only one chance of surprise like this... I used it up in advance, maybe this is not a good thing, and things will be more difficult in the future. After we have produced Muggle weapons that are enough to threaten the lives of wizards, I don’t think My-Know-Who Will sit and wait, he takes anything that threatens him very seriously, even if it has something to do with Muggles, he will definitely react... I was too hasty."

"Don't think so." Remus shook his head and said seriously, "Did you see Andy and Stuart? Their wounds were all left by black magic, and they were actually very serious. If the spell hits Need to be more precise, probably killed instantly. Those spells didn't take their lives, not because they were extra lucky today, but Death Eaters are scared by you, and fear makes the spells they cast weak Weakness... The magical power of wizards is amazing, isn't it? Unlike Muggle guns, which are the same in everyone's hands, wizards must be more determined to cast spells. Their weakness today allows our companions to survive, thanks to you."

It sounds a bit outrageously wonderful, and it doesn't seem to be such a great thing.Eli grunted, but had to say, he was feeling better now.

Fortunately, trying to kill Voldemort with a single bullet is a very gambling method, and the possibility of success is extremely low. If you want to completely deter him, or even eliminate him, the power of the gun is really not enough.Eli finally put away his annoyance, and was in the mood to focus on other things. His eyes wandered around the battlefield, and finally settled on Peter Pedilu.

Peter remained on the field, but did not take part in the aftermath, hiding in a corner, looking pale.

Eli walked over to him.

It wasn't until he stood in front of Peter that Peter looked up at him as if waking up from a dream.He flinched, looking at him with fear in his eyes.He opened his mouth and tried several times before he finally made a faint sound and asked him, "Rodolphs Lestrange...is he dead? Eli, you...you killed him? "

Eli stared at him with no expression on his face. He didn't answer his question directly, but said, "He deserved what he deserved."

"Yes, I understand...he's a Death Eater..." Peter said in a panic, trembling all over, he looked at him timidly, the fear made him unable to stand upright, he could only crouch on the ground, curled up in a ball.

"Death Eaters deserve it, yes..." he murmured softly, his eyes dodging, "yes, it should be, we have such a powerful weapon now, we...we are not at all in the face of the mysterious man No chance, is it? Maybe we'll make it, I mean, I believe, I hope..."

"I think so." Eli said quietly, suddenly raised his hand, and reached out to grab his left arm.

He knew where the Death Eaters' Dark Mark was - Regulus had shown it to him at school.He carefully avoided the place where he could touch the Dark Mark. After all, he didn't want to summon Voldemort here, and he didn't want the other party to know that he had discovered Peter's identity as an informer, but although he didn't actually touch it, Peter still had a great reaction - he shook off his hand and took a few steps back in a panic.

After realizing what he had done, fear gradually crept up his cheeks, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..." he said in a panic, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Eli, forgive me, I was forced... that person... the mysterious man ...you know how scary he is..."

They stood in a hidden corner, and members of the Order of the Phoenix came and went around them. Occasionally, someone saw the two of them standing together and would cast curious glances, but no one felt that there was anything wrong.Only Remus and Regulus cast their gazes from a distance, paying close attention to this side, they knew what kind of important conversation was going on here.

"Why?" In the trembling of Peter, Eli asked him calmly, "Yes, I know the horror of You-Know-Who, I have faced him, my parents died because of him-but I didn't choose who to betray, By selling someone's information in exchange for your own safety. So, why do you think I will forgive you? You brought disaster and nightmares to others because of fear. If someone treats you like this, will you forgive him? This person Even your companions, your friends."

Peter backed away in fear, shaking his head, unable to say anything.

"I won't forgive you." Eli said blankly, "What a person has done, and the results brought about by it, once produced, there is no way to reverse it. If you ask me if I can forgive you for Edgar What the family did, my answer is that I will never forgive it. Maybe you thought that a trivial news would not have such serious consequences. Maybe you thought that the mysterious person would lobby them to rebel instead of silence. But the tragedy has happened, I am not qualified to forgive you in place of Edgar dead and Amelia alive. The only reason I have not made your whistleblower status public is that I saw you raise your wand at the Death Eaters today, and if this It is the new choice you made at this moment, then I can accept that you will use more efforts to make up for the mistakes you have made."

Peter looked at him helplessly, still shaking.

"Eleven Burns' lives," Eli said blankly. "You have a debt like this that needs to be paid off with the lives of at least eleven Death Eaters. That's not an option, Peter, maybe You are very afraid of death, but I hope you understand that there are things in the world more terrifying than death."

Peter looked at him with a pale face, and Eli said calmly: "The entrustment of friends, the trust of teachers, the disappointment in your mother's eyes, the disillusionment of dreams. You once wanted to be a brave hero, remember, Peter Nobody wants you to die, but now that you understand that no matter which side you choose, you will meet the fate of death on the other side, so let go of your useless fear of death and ask yourself—what do you want? Which side are you on?"

Regulus watched the movement from a distance, until he saw Eli turn and leave, while Peter remained where he was.

He spotted Eli walking towards him and took a few steps forward in concern.Just when he was about to speak, Eli suddenly took a step forward and asked him straight to the point.

He said: "As far as you know, if the mysterious man didn't lead the Death Eaters into battle, what would he usually do?"

Regulus opened his mouth, his brow furrowed.

"He usually leads the battles, especially the important ones." He said thoughtfully, "That man actually doesn't trust his men very much, he prefers to do it himself."

Has the Dark Lord come here today?

Regulus and Eli looked at each other, and their faces changed suddenly at the same time.

London, South Bank of the River Thames, UK Government Town Hall.

A gust of cold wind blew in from the door, and government officials in suits and leather shoes were busy walking through the hall. At the same time, they shivered in unison.
