MTL - Study Days at Hogwarts-Chapter 1241 unexpected betrayal

  Chapter 1241 Unexpected betrayal

  Late at night, the Room of Requirement.

  Draco Malfoy was sitting in a tattered armchair, holding a double-sided mirror in his hand, and was whispering to Bella on the other side of the mirror to get the latest situation.

  He got the news from the nail buried in the Ministry of Magic by the Death Eaters through Bella. Dumbledore is currently in Azkaban Prison, discussing with the Minister of Magic, Scrimgeour, how to deal with Voldemort's possible prison break.

  Draco knew that he had to wait for Dumbledore to return to Hogwarts before taking action. I believed that they would have a greater advantage when facing the old man who was physically and mentally exhausted after a busy day.

   After all, the opponent is Dumbledore, so there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

  Draco waited for a long time, until late at night, and when everyone went back to rest, he finally learned from Bella that Dumbledore had left Azkaban and returned to Hogwarts.

  Under the gentle push of Felicia, Draco knew that the best time had come, and it was time for them to act.

  Bella's reaction was quick. After a while, some noises began to be heard in the disappearing cabinet. Draco knew that someone was coming through the disappearing cabinet. He quickly stepped back a few steps to make room for the other party.

   A few seconds later, the door of the disappearing cabinet opened, and Bella walked out of the disappearing cabinet. She didn't wear the mask used by Death Eaters to hide her identity, and she didn't hide her malice on her face.

   "Welcome to Hogwarts, Aunt Bella."

Seeing death eaters wearing masks come out of the disappearing cabinet one after another, Malfoy couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Although Snape is the core of the whole plan, the more people there are, the more he will feel at ease. Maybe They could kill Dumbledore outnumbered.

  However, what surprised Malfoy was that among this group of Death Eaters, there were quite a few unfamiliar faces, most likely new Death Eaters, or paid dark wizards.

  In order for the assassination to proceed smoothly, both the Malfoy family and the Lestrange family paid a lot of Galleons as employment remuneration.

  Although many Death Eaters do not lack Galleons, there are still people who need Galleons.

  Draco nodded slightly towards everyone, which was regarded as a formal greeting, and then began to talk about the original plan and the next action plan.

   "Where's Snape?"

  Alecto looked around, and after not seeing Snape, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "It seems that that guy really planned to use us as bait from the very beginning."

"Snape must have his own plan. We'd better not force him to participate, so as not to disrupt his plan." Avery has a good relationship with Snape, and he is also very clear that this plan will be successful. Probably need to rely on Snape's sneak attack.

   "Quiet! We didn't count on that coward Snape from the beginning!" Bella growled at the boisterous crowd. She is very upset now, because this time the plan did not go as expected, and the disappearance of her sister Narcissa directly led to the loss of the Felicia she had originally obtained. She even suspected that her sister gave the only bottle of Felicia to Draco, I'm ashamed to go back and face them.

"According to the original plan, we need to separate a group of people to siege Dumbledore, and the rest of the people will hold back the professors of the school and buy time for Dumbledore to be sieged." Bella said the last thing tonight. Important matter.

  No one would be foolish enough to think that Dumbledore would single-handedly single out everyone here.

  Of course, this is not a difficult task, it has been discussed before coming here.

   When he saw Bella take out the Felix Elixir from the pocket of his robe, and took a small sip of it, Malfoy realized something, and reached out to take out the remaining Felix Elixir in his pocket.

   "As expected, Narcissa gave you the only bottle of Felix Elixir she got."

   Avery smiled and took the potion from Draco, drank some and handed it to Alecto next to him, "However, the Felix Elixir should be enough, and we don't need to be lucky for too long."

   Of course, the Elixir of Felicity was not enough for everyone to take a sip, but it was enough for the Death Eaters who went to surround and kill Dumbledore.

  Their actions went smoothly, perhaps because of the effect of Felicia, or because it was already night and everyone had already gone to bed, and the group arrived at the Astronomy Tower without encountering any obstacles.

"Let's get started!" Avery looked at Malfoy and reminded: "After the dark wizards outside see your Dark Mark, they will launch an attack from the main entrance of Hogwarts to help us attract other people's attention Force, after we kill Dumbledore, leave from the direction of the Forbidden Forest, because we don't know if the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic will reinforce Hogwarts, and the whole plan is based on the fact that the Ministry of Magic will reinforce Hogwarts .”

"You need to wait here for Dumbledore later, help us attract that old guy's attention, create an illusion that there is only you here, and create opportunities for us to sneak attack Dumbledore. Although the probability of success is not high, we must try Just a moment, no problem!" Alecto went on to say to Malfoy.

   "No problem, then I'll start!" After Malfoy nodded to show that he understood, he raised his wand and pointed to the sky.

   "Bone Reappearance"

  Although he never actually used this spell, with the help of Felicia, he was able to use it very easily.

  A green light flew from the tip of the wand and became a huge green skull smoke in the air.

  Looking at the Dark Mark flying higher and higher and floating over Hogwarts Castle, Draco couldn't help muttering: "This must be a big surprise for Dumbledore who just came back!"

   Dumbledore didn't keep Draco waiting too long, and his appearance even surprised Draco. He didn't come up the stairs, but appeared out of nowhere with a fire apparition, and beside the old man was a phoenix, looking at him with a smile: "Good evening, Draco."

  Draco didn't speak, his eyes fixed on Dumbledore.

   "It's very late now, you should go back to the dormitory to rest instead of blowing your hair here."

  Dumbledore didn't care about the boy's vigilance and hostility, looked up at the Dark Mark above his head, and said softly, "Being a Death Eater is not a good choice."

As he spoke, the old man raised his wand and dismissed Draco's disarming spell lightly, looked at the fearless boy in front of him and said, "Voldemort has always lacked wisdom, at least I don't think it's a good choice for an underage wizard to assassinate me , he obviously wants to kill you, you should be very aware of this."

   "I have no choice." Draco said, staring at Dumbledore.

   "I know you accepted that mission, I understand your situation, and I can help you make the right choice before you do something irreversible." Dumbledore comforted softly.

   "I won't listen to you." Malfoy shook his head.

"Why don't you listen to my suggestion?" Dumbledore said in a reassuring tone, "I can persuade Stringer to hide your family in a safe place, even Voldemort can't find it." To you, until the end of this wizarding war. Believe me, it won't be long before Voldemort is completely finished. You should have noticed that the Death Eaters have suffered heavy losses in the past year. Even Voldemort has to tuck his tail Be human."

   "Really? But...why?"

  Draco was silent suddenly, because Dumbledore didn't lie, but he didn't understand why Dumbledore wanted to help himself, to help a Death Eater.

"Of course it's true. Voldemort can't be my opponent and Albert. They will soon... suffer heavy losses." Dumbledore suddenly waved his wand towards the entrance, forcing Bella and his group who were planning to attack unexpectedly. It has to be manifested.

"Good evening, Bella. Oh, you actually brought a group of people to kill me." Dumbledore's tone was very calm, as if welcoming him to a tea party, "However, if I were you, I would definitely I will walk lightly!"

   "Isolated and helpless, old man, you are finished." Bella raised her wand and pointed at Dumbledore, sneering.

"Isolated and helpless? You probably haven't realized that the one who is alone and helpless is actually you. This matter is a trap from the beginning to the end!" Dumbledore did not panic at all because he was surrounded by Death Eaters. He said in a tone, "Who do you think suggested that you come to Hogwarts to kill me, who do you think provided the disappearing cabinet, and who do you think repaired the disappearing cabinet?"

"This is impossible."

  Draco still couldn't help breaking the defense, looked at Dumbledore in shock, and told him directly that the other party didn't lie, and that he had been at the mercy of the other party from the beginning.

"Nothing is impossible. Snape has been my man from the beginning, and reinforcements are on the way. None of you can escape tonight." Dumbledore stood there with his wand raised, looking like you were all taken by me. Surrounding posture.

   "Are you using me?"

   Malfoy read Dark Arts to Dumbledore viciously.

  However, Dumbledore subdued Malfoy easily, "You are not ready to kill children, don't let yourself fall."

   "Get him out of here, Severus."

  Snape appeared out of nowhere, used magic to catch the restrained Draco, and was about to take him out of here.

  The sudden change stunned the Death Eaters who came to surround and kill Dumbledore.

   Didn't it mean that Snape was on their side?

   Didn't it mean that Snape signed an unbreakable contract with Narcissa?

   Didn't it mean that Snape planned to take the opportunity to assassinate Dumbledore?

   But now it was Snape who betrayed them and led them all into Dumbledore's carefully woven trap.

   Narcissa's sudden disappearance.

   Could it be that even her sister betrayed the Dark Lord and joined Dumbledore?

   "You **** traitors."

   Anger was almost overflowing from Bella's eyes, and she even shot a deadly black magic at Snape, but was knocked aside by Snape's spell.

   "Your opponent is not me." Snape took Draco and left the battlefield.

   "The Dark Lord will not let you go easily." Bella growled at Snape.

   "Leave Snape alone, now is the best chance for us, do it!"

  Both Alecto and Avery realized something, and directly called other Death Eaters to besiege Dumbledore.

  They have no choice. Once other professors get involved, it may be difficult to have such a good opportunity.

  The Death Eaters were close together, forming a tight formation most commonly used by the Ministry of Magic, with all their wands pointing at Dumbledore.

"kill him."

  Colorful black curses shrouded Dumbledore's position, completely sealing off all his dodging space.

   This is the human sea battle that the Ministry of Magic Aurors often use, relying on numerical superiority to defeat the enemy, but the Death Eaters are now forced to use it against Dumbledore.

  The breath of death rushed towards us, but Dumbledore didn't panic at all. Fawkes, who was flying above everyone's heads, suddenly swooped down from the sky and withstood the first wave of Death Eaters' attack for Dumbledore.

  Fox let out a mournful cry, fell heavily to the ground, burned up, and turned into a pile of ashes.

  Dumbledore seized the opportunity created by the old buddy, swung his wand and slammed it into the air, a strong force attacked the Death Eaters, forcing them to give up continuing to attack and instead defend against Dumbledore's unknown spell together.

   There was a loud bang, as if something had collided with each other, making people want to cover their ears.

   There was a crack in the supposedly indestructible magic barrier, causing the Death Eaters who successfully blocked the spell to gasp in unison.

   Fortunately they chose to believe Felicia's warnings.

However, before they could recover, the magic barrier was directly pierced by a golden spell, and an unlucky guy was hit by the spell, and was instantly drained of all his strength, and fell straight back, life and death unknown .

  Everyone was taken aback. They probably didn't expect Dumbledore to attack directly. The golden curse just now made their scalps go numb.

   Spread out!

  I don't know who yelled, telling the Death Eaters to stop maintaining a dense formation and attack Dumbledore separately.

  If they hadn't been close together just now, that unlucky guy would definitely have been able to escape the golden spell with the help of Felicia Felicia.

   However, this is undoubtedly a wrong command.

  United tightly together, maybe there is a real chance to replace Dumbledore. When the Death Eaters disperse, they will not be Dumbledore's opponents.

  Dumbledore can always use dexterity that doesn't match his own age, avoiding the deadly spells used by Bella, and even shakes his wand quickly to shoot several spells, directly hitting the spells of other dark wizards.

  When the sneak attack was about to succeed, Dumbledore seemed to have eyes, and lightly pushed the black magic aside with his wand.

"How can this be!"

Seeing that his sneak attack was easily seen through, and the black magic was easily pushed aside, the Death Eater was a little unacceptable. The momentary astonishment appeared on his face, and then Dumbledore caught the flaw. As if the cloak came alive, it suddenly rolled back to cover his head, and the robe on his body tightened even more like it came alive, binding his whole body tightly like a belt.

  In just one meeting, one Death Eater temporarily lost his combat power.

  Although Felicia Felicia can greatly improve the user in all aspects, it still cannot bridge the huge gap between the two parties.

   What's more, the place Malfoy chose is not suitable for them to play.

   The observatory can indeed give full play to its superiority in numbers, but only if they have an advantage and use their superiority in numbers to attack the enemy.

  However, the current situation is obviously that Dumbledore has the advantage, and the number of people who were originally an advantage has become a burden, because the limited space is not conducive to their dodging spells, resulting in the advantage given by Felicia.

  A certain Death Eater seemed to want to rush down, seeking help from the Death Eaters below who were responsible for intercepting reinforcements, but was hit from behind by a spell, and fell directly down the stairs.

  In fact, it is too late to rescue even now, because there is a sudden commotion below the Astronomy Tower, apparently the professors from the school fought against the Death Eaters below.

  Boom! boom! boom!

  Deafening explosions sounded suddenly, and dense fireballs flew towards Hogwarts in the distance, hitting the iron gate around the school hard, almost knocking the school gate away.

   "It's really lively." Dumbledore glanced at the direction of the entrance of the school and murmured, "It seems that this net caught more fish than expected."
