After the impromptu meeting, Snape stayed after receiving Yaxley's gaze, along with several remaining veteran Death Eaters.
Everyone looked at each other, and as they looked at the few old friends left around them, they all fell into a brief silence.
I still remember when the Dark Lord was resurrected, there were at least forty or fifty Death Eaters alive, including those in prison. However, before the end of the second year, more than half of the original Death Eaters were killed or injured.
"I know you're all curious, come with me."
Yaxley stood up and left the meeting room, heading outside to the living room.
They looked at each other, not knowing what Yaxley was doing, but they followed him anyway.
After the Death Eaters sat down, Yaxley talked about the reason for keeping the others:
"I suspect there is a spy hidden among the Death Eaters."
Speaking of spies, everyone turned their heads to look at Snape, who is currently the most famous spy in the wizarding world.
However, the latter shook his head expressionlessly, indicating that the matter had nothing to do with him.
"If it's not him, then who is the spy?"
"It's hard to say now, but all signs indicate that the mudblood has indeed planted a spy among us."
Yaxley paused and said with great certainty, "So that mudblood can always get accurate information at the first time."
Yaxley was right. Albert really got the first-hand information from the spy.
Alecto Carrow was acutely aware of something, stared at Yaxley with an unfriendly tone, and asked, "Are you doubting us?"
Yaxley, who had just poured himself a half glass of red wine, paused, suddenly looked up at Alecto, and said indifferently, "Until you prove your innocence, everyone, including me, is a suspect."
"You're going to use Veritaserum?"
Some Death Eaters seemed to guess what might happen next.
"That's the easiest and most effective way, isn't it?"
Snape pulled a bottle of medicine from his robe pocket and placed it on the table.
"You actually carry truth serum with you, or are you..."
"We need to make sure there are no spies among us first," Yaxley interrupted.
"This is absolutely ridiculous."
There was an uproar in the living room.
Although using truth serum is the fastest way to identify who is a spy, this method makes all Death Eaters instinctively disgusted, and some Death Eaters even can't sit still.
Yaxley picked up the medicine bottle, dripped three drops into the wine glass, and raised the glass high.
"I'll be the first to drink."
"It won't work even if you drink it first. Believe me, no one wants to use Veritaserum to prove their innocence, and no Death Eater will allow this to happen to themselves."
Yaxley's "absurd" proposal was obviously not welcomed by the Death Eaters.
After all, everyone has their own secrets, and they will never allow their secrets to be leaked.
"I understand your concerns, but we have to find that damn spy."
McNeill could understand everyone's concerns. After all, they knew very well what the Death Eaters were.
"We'll only ask one question, so don't worry."
After taking a big sip of spiked red wine, Yaxley slumped down in his chair, looking dazed.
"Are you a spy planted by Albert Anderson?" Snape asked directly.
"No," said Yaxley.
"that's all?"
Seeing Snape use the antidote to wake up Yaxley, a Death Eater couldn't help but ask.
"that's all."
Everyone looked at each other and finally agreed.
As they had expected, there was no spy planted among them by Albert Anderson.
Even the "spy" Ms. Alecto Caro does not consider herself a spy.
Such test results are really unexpected.
"That's a really bad idea."
McNeill looked at the Death Eaters leaving, then looked back at the silent Yaxley.
This method was unreliable from the beginning.
"At least we can confirm that they are reliable and the spies are in..."
"Stop it, if other Death Eaters knew about this... they would definitely find a way to give you a big surprise."
McNeill began to wonder whether the spies Yaxley was talking about really existed.
"We have to find the hidden spy," Yaxley repeated, "otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to keep secrets in the future."
"That's probably just your guess."
"Not everyone is willing to carry out the mission, and many people's patience is reaching its limit."
"What?"
McNeill looked stunned, feeling that he could not keep up with Yaxley's thoughts.
"About the Inferi. We suspect that the spy leaked the location of the Inferi."
"Why are we talking about Inferi again? Weren't we just talking about spies?"
MacNeill cast a worried look at Snape, wondering if the Veritaserum had messed with Yaxley's brain.
"Once we take other measures, we will still run into trouble. We all know that the Dark Lord is not in Britain. No one can do anything about that mudblood."
"You already have a suspect? What are you going to do next?"
"you… "
McNeill felt that he could finally understand what they were saying.
If there really was a spy hidden among them, the Death Eaters' actions would be known to that Mudblood, which would be a terrible disaster.
In fact, the situation of the Death Eaters today is almost the same, so it is no wonder that Yaxley suspected that there was a spy among the Death Eaters.
"Yes, but there is no evidence, and..."
“Sometimes you don’t need evidence.”
"Who are you suspecting?"
"Ludo Bagman."
"Alecto Carrow."
The living room fell into an eerie silence again.
"Alecto Carrow?"
"But she passed the Veritaserum test."
They both looked at Snape.
"Don't forget, Avery was once controlled and used as a spy." Snape said suddenly, "My intuition tells me that there is probably something wrong with her."
"I'll keep an eye on her."
“What about Ludo Bagman
"If he is really a spy, just deal with him directly. I remember that Severus is good at Legilimency."
"What about the Inferi? Do you plan to continue making them?"
"Go on, we need something to attract their attention. However, I think we should disperse those Inferi completely. Since they are willing to clean up the Inferi, let's create some trouble for them." Yaxley said self-deprecatingly, "Anyway, there are still many remote places in the UK."
"It is really stupid to look for lone Muggles one by one. We can start from the villages where there are lone Muggles. There is still no shortage of such villages in Britain."
McNeill suggested that he had wanted to massacre Muggles a long time ago.
"Wouldn't that be too noisy?" Snape frowned.
"If we want to create Inferi in a short time, we can only start with Muggle villages." McNeill shrugged and said, "Oh, there is one more thing. The new leader of the werewolves has appeared. His name is Lucien. I heard that he is the same as Fenrir Greyback. His mission is to bite and infect as many people as possible. As far as I know, they have formed a werewolf army of hundreds of people.
"You're going to use them? I remember you hated werewolves."
"No, I just thought maybe those bastards would be interested in werewolves, and we could even give them some information during the full moon."
"They are not stupid and they will definitely not be fooled easily."
"Who knows, maybe they'll find werewolves interesting."
