Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 1366 The Taste of Conspiracy

  The brief gathering ended soon, and after the other Death Eaters had left, Yaxley left Snape alone to chat about the topic just now.

   "You don't like this matter?"

  He poured Snape a glass of red wine himself.

   "The black market transaction has caused a lot of trouble recently, and I think the loss should be stopped in time." Snape politely took the glass of wine, but he seemed to have no intention of drinking it.

   "I would, but the Dark Lord doesn't like losers, I've screwed up once before, I can't fail again, otherwise..."

  Yaxley really didn't want to be the next Lucius, so he had to deal with the black market problem before Voldemort came back.

   "That might make things worse." Snape stared at the glass of red wine in his hand, and said softly, "You should be wary of Albert Anderson."

   "Do you think this matter is likely to be the conspiracy of that Mudblood?" Yaxley raised his eyebrows slightly. He did blame the Mudblood, but it doesn't mean that he really thinks that this matter has something to do with him.

"I don't know, but we had a fierce conflict with foreign dark wizards, and many people died because of it. Don't you think this kind of thing is absurd?" Snape reminded, he actually knew that he couldn't convince Yake Slee, but still remind the other party at the right time.

"I don't know, maybe you're right, but... I have no choice." Yaxley said, looking into Snape's eyes, "Severus, I hope you can help each other, now Not many old fellows are left alive."

"We've been doing that all the time, but you should know that I can't help you much except to give me verbal support!" Snape put down his glass and said to Yaxley, "If something really happens, you can go to Hogg Watts is looking for me."

   "Is this matter really related to that Mudblood?" Yaxley suddenly had a bad feeling.

  To be honest, although Yaxley often called Albert Mudblood, he was actually afraid of being tricked by him.

   As Snape said, this dispute was anomalous.

  Dark wizards actually started to kill each other, which is absolutely abnormal in Britain ruled by the Dark Lord.

   Did he really fall into the trap of that Mudblood?

  Yaxley seemed to smell a conspiracy. If... He quickly got rid of those ridiculous thoughts in his head, and started to make follow-up arrangements.

  Even if it is really a trap, the plan will still continue.

  Yaxley never allowed himself to fail.

  As long as the group of foreign dark wizards are completely defeated, Hogsmeade's black market problem will basically be solved.

   As a result, other Death Eaters and wizards who had defected to the Dark Lord were forced to get busy, in order to prevent the dark wizard from coming and attacking them during the period.

But the vigilance of the Death Eaters seemed to be a joke, because no foreign dark wizards came to Hogsmeade to make trouble from the beginning to the end. On the contrary, some wizards from other countries came to the black market to trade after hearing their reputation. Back to normal again.

   Even the Hog's Head is buzzing again.

   No, it should be said that the Pig's Head Bar has been very popular with dark wizards from the very beginning, but the owner, Aberforth, doesn't seem to care much about it, and starts driving people out just after ten o'clock every day.

   "Ariana, what do you think that guy wants to do?"

Abuforth, who was just about to go back to his bedroom to rest, received a message from the Order of the Phoenix, reminding him that Hogsmeade would be attacked by dark wizards from abroad tonight. Therefore suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

  Aberforth had already learned about this from the Death Eaters who came to drink in the Pig's Head pub: Hogsmeade will impose a curfew tonight to prevent despicable outsiders from coming to retaliate.

  Vile outsider?

   This adjective may not be appropriate.

   At least in Abuforth's view, the series of practices of the Death Eaters are even more despicable. He witnessed Poshvar's tragic death at the time.

   It just said that the group of outsiders would come to avenge Poshvar, which he did not want to believe anyway.

  Then, the only possibility is that someone deliberately caused a conflict between the two parties.

  Dark Wizard Kill Dark Wizard!

   It's really satisfying.

Abeforth grumbled, picked up the photo frame on the wooden table, brought along the recently earned Galleons and a lot of food, and went straight into the secret passage to Hogwarts. He estimated that the group of outsiders would seek revenge. Famous people came to Hogsmeade to rob, probably wanting to make another fortune before leaving.

   I don't know whether the little money I left will satisfy the group of dark wizards.

  As for saying that the foreign dark wizards are driving away the Death Eaters and continuing to occupy Hogsmeade, I believe no one will have such stupid thoughts after the previous experience.

  The night is getting darker, and the vigil is still going on.

   It's just that the Death Eaters in charge of staying behind have relaxed their vigilance. They played cards and enjoyed supper while betting whether the group of outsiders would really appear.

   However, the news they got seems to be false.

  The Death Eaters waited until late at night, but still no one was seen, and even the substitutes had already arrived.

  As if all this was just scaring themselves.

Of course, the Death Eaters staying behind in Hogsmeade don't need to worry, because there are actually many dementors around to help patrol. For dark wizards who cannot summon the patron saint, being targeted by a large number of dementors is also a trouble .

  That dark wizard named Poshwar is so powerful, he was killed by them.

  If that Mudblood named Albert Anderson wasn't too powerful, they would also like to use similar methods to deal with him.

  Unfortunately, that guy's patron saint is too powerful, even the dementors are unwilling to get close.

  As the time approached dawn, the Death Eaters who led the team became more and more cautious. After all, they took advantage of the opponent's sleep to carry out sneak attacks.

   "Those people probably won't come."

  In the brightly lit Three Broomsticks bar, a Death Eater spread out the cards in his hand and announced to the surrounding people, "I won this game."

   "No, they will come!" Rudolph said firmly, "Because those guys want to make a last fortune before leaving England, so I'm sure they will come."

   "Come on, Rudolph." The Death Eaters at the other table laughed at themselves, "We hope they will make a lot of money later, maybe we can make a fortune too."

  Actually, no one present felt that the group of dark wizards from various European countries could unite. Even if they really came to Hogsmeade to rob, at most it would be a few people, sneaking up on them to retaliate against them, but there are more than a dozen people here, and Yaxley's people can use the Floo Network or Apparation reinforcements at any time Hogsmeade.

   "The last cup, don't drink too much to avoid delay."

  Gargson is one of the few veteran Si-eaters left, who was entrusted with important tasks by Yaxley, and he does not want to repeat the same mistakes as last time.

  However, just as Gagson finished speaking, a dark wizard suddenly fell on the table, seemingly falling asleep.

  Such an abnormal event immediately aroused Gargson's vigilance, and those dark wizards who drank the last glass of good wine unexpectedly fell asleep one by one.

   This scene startled the others around.

   "Enemy attack!"

   There was chaos in the Three Broomsticks bar.

  The dark wizards raised their wands to guard the surroundings, and after people checked the drinks they just drank, they all cast suspicious glances at Gagson.

   "Idiots, don't you suspect that I added the living **** potion to the wine?"

Gagson was out of breath, and after vigilantly looking around to confirm that there were no enemies around, he yelled at a Death Eater beside him: "What are you doing here, tell Yaxley what happened here, and let the He sent more helpers over."

  Others also came back to their senses one after another, followed Gagson's command and acted as a team to find the dementors.

   They need the help of the dementors.

Not long after Gagson led people out of the Three Broomsticks, Rudolph, who had pretended to pass out after drinking alcohol, got up from the ground again. He walked quickly outside the Three Broomsticks, raised his wand and released red sparks towards the sky .

   Tonight's feast has just begun.
