If Albert was also present and heard their conversation, he probably would not be able to tolerate this humiliation and would beat Snape on the spot to make him understand the power beyond magic.
He is obviously a good wizard who advocates freedom and loves peace. How did he inexplicably become the White Devil
This is absolutely the greatest slander ever!
Ultimately, this matter was all their own fault.
If the Order of the Phoenix and the wizards in the British wizarding world were not so useless, why would he have to do it himself to eliminate the mysterious man
Wouldn't it be better to let Harry Potter solve it himself
Not only do you have to work hard, but you also have to be the bad guy. Who would be willing to endure this injustice
Fortunately, Albert was unaware of the conversation between the two, otherwise he would probably have to give these double-standard people a look.
…
Since the brief exchange with Dumbledore that night, Snape has tried to minimize the influence of the Death Eaters on Hogwarts, but he ultimately failed to change the Death Eaters' plan to dismantle the Defense Society at the meeting, and the Dumbledore Army hidden in Hogwarts School was the first link in the entire plan.
Over the next few days, Hogwarts students were horrified to find a large number of rude Death Eaters, who were ridiculously able to capture Albert Anderson, the leader of Dumbledore's Army, in the ancient castle.
That's right, the leader of Dumbledore's Army is Albert Anderson, not the famous savior Harry Potter.
When the news first spread, it confused many Hogwarts students. After they came to their senses, they became more convinced that this group of Death Eaters came to Hogwarts just to cause trouble.
The reason is very simple. Everyone knows that Dumbledore's Army was formed by Harry Potter, and the Death Eaters even got this wrong. How dare they say that they are here to capture Albert
Isn't it obvious that this is treating the students as fools
Somehow, Harry looked less and less like the savior he once was. Many Death Eaters no longer saw him as a threat, and some even wondered when they would be lucky enough to meet him so they could go to the Ministry of Magic and collect the huge reward.
Ever since Voldemort allowed everyone to kill Harry Potter, the unfortunate guy who was arbitrarily dubbed the savior has become the coveted prey of countless Death Eaters.
Now the Dark Lord's archenemy has become the Mudblood Albert Anderson. If you think about the fact that Voldemort even gave up his archenemy for this, you will understand how important this person is.
Most Death Eaters regarded him as a plague and kept their distance from the Mudblood, fearing that they would become the next unlucky one.
In this case, which Death Eater would be so bold as to capture the leader of Dumbledore's Army, Albert Anderson
Do you think you are living too well
Facing the hostile gazes of countless students and professors, the Death Eaters in charge of investigating the matter really wanted to make them understand the whole story, but this was Snape's territory, and they had to strictly abide by Snape's requirements. Based on the friendly intelligence provided by the special operations team, they used truth serum to interrogate individual students in order to root out Dumbledore's Army.
The method provided by Snape was indeed very effective. To the surprise of all the Death Eaters, the current leader of Dumbledore's Army was Neville Longbottom, not Harry Potter, or the Mudblood as they called it.
If we have to link the two, it is that Dumbledore's Army used the "Self-Defense Guide" written by the Mudblood as a textbook for learning Defense Against the Dark Arts.
However, what annoyed the Death Eaters the most was that Neville Longbottom, whom they were looking for, had disappeared from the school not long ago, and the other remaining members of Dumbledore's Army had also disappeared from the school not long ago.
"After recent investigations, we believe that the last remnants of Dumbledore's Army are hiding in the Room of Requirement, which is still occupied by someone and our people cannot enter..."
Listening to the report of Vice-Principal Alecto Carrow, there was no change in Snape's expression, as if he already knew what the other party said.
"It didn't go as I expected. We just need to continue according to the plan. Also notify McNeill and ask him to send a few smart Aurors to help." Snape handed the list of missing students to his deputy minister.
"Auror, are you sure those guys can be trusted?"
Alecto had no good feelings towards the surrendered Aurors. He had not forgotten that they had slacked off that night, but she still reached out and took the list that Snape handed over.
There is a reason why Snape was still able to sit firmly as Voldemort's right-hand man after Lucius and Yaxley suffered misfortunes one after another.
"I know, but you just need to know that even a piece of toilet paper has its value. We just need them to help convince the members of Dumbledore's Army to surrender to us, so as to disintegrate the group from within." Snape looked at Alecto who was reading the list and reminded him sternly, "Achieving the goal is the most important thing, and the process is not important."
"No wonder you always seize opportunities at the most critical moments." Alecto stuffed the parchment into his pocket, ready to let the old woman Mag write letters to them one by one.
"I don't want any accidents to happen during this period, do you understand?" Snape continued to instruct, "Invite them to Hogwarts and say that their children are missing."
"What if they don't want to?"
"Then bring your helpers, and I will personally persuade them to cooperate with us." Snape's eyes flashed.
"They will certainly be willing to do so."
…
The family members who received the letter from the Deputy Headmaster of Hogwarts all had extremely strange reactions.
I went to Hogwarts recently with some fear.
Some people didn't care and just burned the letter, and continued doing what they were doing. As a result, they were visited by Death Eaters and invited to school.
Some of them disappeared with their entire family the same day they received the letter.
In short, the students of Hogwarts soon discovered with horror that the parents of the missing students were brought to school by the Death Eaters.
Although no one knew what Snape had said to them, after some negotiations, the family members finally came to the school in the name of looking for missing children to persuade their children to surrender to the Death Eaters.
"That's right, we don't want to do anything to you. Our goal from beginning to end is to catch the culprit..."
Under the spell of the Cruciatus Curse and Snape's careful persuasion, even the toughest ones had to give in.
Thus, a letter to the members of Dumbledore's Army appeared in various places in Hogwarts Castle in a grand manner, and the earnest words left many students stunned.
Some smart people have already guessed what the Death Eaters want to do, and are even more worried that the enemy is planning to use this method to undermine the unity within Dumbledore's Army.
In fact, as Snape worried, the Death Eaters' actions did shake the faith of the members of Dumbledore's Army in the Room of Requirement to some extent.
After all, anyone who encounters the situation of "Your Majesty, why do you surrender first when we are ready to fight to the death?" will have his or her beliefs shaken, not to mention it is also a good step.
The betrayal by their family members has indeed made many students feel angry and confused.
Although they were extremely angry about the Death Eaters' despicable tactics, this move did make many members of Dumbledore's Army, who were worried about their families, begin to think about surrendering.
"Kidnapping children to get relatives to behave has always worked, and we knew very early on that they would use this tactic in reverse."
In the Room of Requirement, Neville was telling everyone about Snape's conspiracy. His tone was so calm that people suspected that he was talking about what to eat this morning.
"But what should we do? We can't..."
"They are adults. They are more skilled in thinking and dealing with problems than we are, and they know better what to do. Are you so arrogant that you think you can solve any problem?"
Hannah looked around at everyone present and felt very dissatisfied with these guys who were so naive as to plan to surrender.
"Your family is not in life-and-death crisis." Someone sneered unceremoniously.
"Yes, they are all dead." Hannah looked at the man calmly.
"You want our families to die too, and then join you in rebelling against the You-Know-Who?" The man glared at Hannah angrily.
"Okay, be quiet."
Neville had to make a sharp snap with his wand to quiet the noisy room.
"I think you should be aware that this is a conspiracy by the Death Eaters to try to destroy us. They obviously understand that a strong castle usually collapses from the inside."
Neville's tone was still very calm. He looked around at everyone present and continued, "I can understand you. If you want to go out and surrender, I have no objection. Let me see how many people plan to surrender to the Death Eaters first?"
There was dead silence all around.
"I really don't want to say something that will spoil the mood, but can surrendering to the Death Eaters really solve the problem?" Neville asked. "Of course, if you really want to believe what the Death Eaters say, just pretend I didn't say anything. I don't believe it anyway. The group of foreign dark wizards have already proved this with their lives."
"If you plan to surrender to the Death Eaters, you will be abandoned," Hannah sneered.
One of them played the bad guy and the other played the good guy, which fooled everyone, but what they said was actually the truth.
"What's the meaning."
"The betrayer will be abandoned. Do you expect others to wait for you to betray?" Hannah thought this man was ridiculous. She really didn't know how he joined Dumbledore's Army.
Others couldn't laugh.
Hannah's words made them realize the consequences of betrayal.
They have not forgotten the fate of the 28 people who were abandoned earlier.
They were eventually tortured to death by Death Eaters, and everyone in the asylum watched coldly, just because they were abandoned.
"Don't think that the Death Eaters will really let you go just because you surrender." Hannah sneered at everyone, "They are luring others to surrender just to disintegrate the association and try to get more information from you. Do you think he will believe what you say, or use other methods to torture you to get the information? Don't say I'm threatening you, I believe you all have your own judgment."
"this… "
The original thought of surrender disappeared.
No one mentioned this matter again. The reputation of the Death Eaters was really bad. Countless cases had told them that their safety could not be guaranteed even after surrendering.
The most important thing is that once you are really abandoned by the association, they will really watch you die.
Those 28 people were the best proof. There were members of the association in the shelter at the time. Even if there was a shortage of manpower, with the association's capabilities, it would definitely be no problem to organize a team to rescue them in a short period of time.
However, they just watched those people being tortured to death by the Death Eaters, because after their persuasion failed, the Association simply gave up on them.
People who are seeking death are not worth the effort to save them. We should respect the fate of others.
That is to say, let him die.
"What Albert said."
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost brewing, Ernie asked.
"The You-Know-Who won't kill pure-bloods easily. After all, that is the basis for his rule over the British wizarding world. The Death Eaters are so excited because they were stimulated by the previous incident. They will gradually calm down after a while."
Neville was glad to finally get to the point.
"Mr. Anderson believes that the situation has turned out the way it is now because they don't even have the courage to resist."
Neville looked around at the students with strange expressions and continued, "The Death Eaters are just a bunch of trash. If they had the courage to stand up and resist, the situation would have been different.
Do Death Eaters really dare to act so recklessly
No, they dare not!
Death Eaters are also afraid of death, not to mention that most of the new Death Eaters joining now are a bunch of trash.
We can easily control them, but the choice of your family is the biggest problem. If they are cowards who don’t even have the courage to resist…”
At this point, Neville's mouth corners slightly raised, and he continued, "Mr. Anderson believes that arranging for them to leave Britain to avoid this war is the best choice."
"You will rescue them?"
"It's not us, it's everyone. I've said it before, the Death Eaters are nothing but a bunch of trash. Defeating and killing them and rescuing the imprisoned people has never been a big problem."
Everyone exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
After all, the death of those 28 people was too stupid, and they almost repeated the same mistake. This made many people feel scared and thankful in their hearts that they did not do anything stupid, because the Defense Association would really abandon them.
"I will convince my parents." Michael said calmly, "If they don't have the courage... I will tamper with their memories and throw them abroad to escape this damn wizard war."
"This is actually the best solution, but many people just don't want to leave the UK. They foolishly think..."
"Okay Hannah." Neville spoke to stop the girl next to him from provoking everyone.
Michael's statement also gave everyone a choice.
In fact, the Defense Association has always been very reliable in treating its own people, and even thought of a solution for them. As for whether the other party would be happy to accept it, it was not within their consideration.
