Late at night in the temporary lounge on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle, several Aurors who were responsible for staying in the school were discussing in low voices the ridiculous things that happened today.
Kidnapping family members to threaten students
Perhaps only a Death Eater who doesn't even care about his dignity could do this!
However, the most ridiculous thing is that this group of Aurors, whose mission is to capture dark wizards, actually became accomplices of the Death Eaters who did these ridiculous things.
"Perhaps we were wrong from the beginning." A middle-aged Auror suddenly said.
"We are not wrong." Gawande interrupted impatiently, "We are just following the orders of the Ministry of Magic. Even if there is any mistake, it is the Ministry of Magic's fault."
"That's right, we are loyal to the Ministry of Magic, not You-Know-Who." Dawlish agreed. This is actually the main reason why many Aurors continue to stay in the Ministry of Magic.
At least this apparent reason would allow everyone to continue staying in the Ministry of Magic with peace of mind. It didn't matter whether it was the mysterious man or the Death Eaters who were commanding them.
"You should know very well that you are just deceiving yourself."
"Calm down Prout."
"Calm down. Look at what we have done. Kidnapping family members and threatening students?" The Auror named Prout yelled at his colleague, "Since when did the Aurors become dogs under the feet of the Death Eaters?"
The Aurors who were about to say something suddenly fell silent.
Prout's words seriously hurt the hearts of everyone present and made them break down on the spot.
That's right, the Aurors nowadays are like dogs raised by the Death Eaters. They can only humbly obey their orders and wag their tails. This is undoubtedly something that many Aurors who claim to be righteous cannot tolerate.
"What do you want?" Dawlish raised his eyebrows.
"I was about to quit this damn job," Prout said in disgust.
"You don't want to join Kingslai and the Order of the Phoenix, do you?" Gawande stared at his colleague's eyes, his tone suddenly became extremely cold, and warned, "Do you really think they will allow us to join the Order of the Phoenix?"
"At worst, I can just resign and leave England." Prout really wanted to escape from England, escape from this damn place, and live a peaceful life in a country without Voldemort.
"As long as you dare to resign, I dare say that the Dark Mark will appear on the roof of your house that day." Gawande calmly stated a fact, "I hope you don't forget how many Death Eaters we have killed. The reason we are still alive is entirely because we are still valuable to be used."
"You're just changing the concept. You've deceived everyone from the beginning." Prout stared at Gawande with his eyes fixed, and said excitedly, "You betrayed us and Scrimgeour from the beginning, you... liar."
"Feel sorry."
Gawend had raised his wand at some point, pointing it at his former colleague, and before he could draw his wand to fight back, Gawend cast the Oblivion Charm first.
"you… "
The other Aurors looked at Gawend in astonishment, and some of them had their wands pointed at him.
"At least he can continue to live."
Gawend ignored the wand in his former colleague's hand, let Prout continue to lie on the table, and murmured, "Isn't it good to be alive? Why do you have to think of death
Everyone really couldn't accept Gawend's behavior, but they all chose to remain silent.
"We don't owe Scrimgeour anything. We just want to survive this damn war," Gawand muttered.
"They're gone," Williamson said suddenly.
"What?"
Dalish's eyes were confused and he had no idea what was going on.
"The guy who was monitoring us has left. Prout is such a fool to do such a stupid thing." Williamson looked at the still young Dawlish and said self-deprecatingly, "After the last incident in Hogsmeade, you don't think those Death Eaters will continue to trust us, do you?"
"Are you all... acting?"
Dawlish looked at his colleague in astonishment. He suddenly felt like a fool.
"Not really. We just want to protect ourselves." Gawande glanced at his young colleague and explained, "We have done enough for the British wizarding world. Let's not worry about this mess now. Anyway, we have Harry Potter and guys like Albert Anderson. Let them and the Death Eaters deal with it slowly."
"Do you really think that Death Eaters are all idiots? If we dare to collude with the Order of the Phoenix, we will be finished in no time." Williamson frowned slightly as he looked at the unconscious Prout and said, "By the way, this guy doesn't look normal today. I remember Prout is not that kind of person."
"It's a little unusual indeed..."
This conversation in the lounge was later reflected in the Pensieve in the headmaster's office, where several Death Eaters gathered together to discuss the matter.
"I said these guys are unreliable."
A hot-tempered Death Eater had a murderous look on his face and he wished he could kill those hateful Aurors immediately. They were actually deceived.
"We all know that they are unreliable, but as long as those Aurors have not defected to the Order of the Phoenix, it is enough for us to use them."
Snape raised his hand to stop the Death Eaters' argument and said expressionlessly, "You can't ask too much of a dog."
"What are you going to do?" Many Death Eaters asked directly without saying anything else.
"We just want to find out whether these Aurors will betray us." Snape said calmly, "From the conversation just now, you should have heard that they were forced to serve us because of threats."
“They are not credible.”
"No, you're missing the point."
"What's the point?" The Death Eaters looked at each other, not understanding what Snape was talking about.
"That Auror named Prout might be a problem."
Snape also realized that there was no one particularly smart among his colleagues, so he stopped playing guessing games.
"You mean he's a member of the Order of the Phoenix?"
"No, I suspect he may be under the control of the Imperius Curse. Albert Anderson may repeat his old tricks and stir up conflicts between us and the Aurors, triggering another bloody conflict." Snape told the secret he had just discovered, "I need someone to inform Yaxley of this news and let him be vigilant."
"Is this really possible?" Carlo took over Snape's words, "Excuse me, we are gathered here today to target Dumbledore's Army."
"They will show up," Snape said firmly. "Even if they know this is a trap, Dumbledore's Army will definitely take action because they have no choice unless they want to collapse from within. The biggest problem we face is how many people will come to rescue them. Will the Defense Association and the Order of the Phoenix show up? If so, how many people will come?"
