Chapter 2323 Dark Eve
For Ellie, life at Hogwarts is very peaceful and stable. It turns out that as long as you don't pay attention to what Harry Potter is doing, it is just an ordinary campus life.
It wasn't until Ellie got the "Daily Prophet" one morning and saw Fudge admitting that Voldemort had returned that she realized that things should continue according to the plot... Well, that was enough.
In fact, when she saw Harry's lifeless face, Ellie knew that Sirius had died just like in the plot.
But she didn't go to comfort Harry. She could just let Snape do this kind of thing. She also had very important things to do.
For example, meeting with the Prime Minister.
"Things are getting messy now, Jones."
It was already late at night when Ellie saw the Prime Minister. He was pacing back and forth angrily, appearing restless, and at the same time slapping the newspaper in his hand vigorously.
"That Fudge came just now, and he told me that this was all caused by the fight between wizards. The broken bridge, hurricanes, and vicious murders were all done by wizards, but now people are putting the responsibility on my head.
Go! Did you see what the Times said?! They actually said that the government did not invest enough in bridge construction, so the bridge collapsed! And some people said that the vicious murders occurred because the police had insufficient power! This is simply
How can this not make sense! How can it not make sense!"
"So I told you, sir, we need a more effective way to control the magical world."
Mr. Jones, who was standing next to Ellie, coughed, and the Prime Minister frowned, then nodded.
"It seems that this is the only thing we can do...this Miss..., are you sure she..."
"Of course, sir, this is our ace."
Jones nodded to Ellie, who then stepped forward and bowed quietly to the Prime Minister.
"That's not funny, Jones."
The Prime Minister looked at Jones with a grimace.
"You didn't tell me you were going to let a little girl handle this."
"She is not an ordinary child, Prime Minister... if you talk to her, you will understand."
So next, the Prime Minister spent an hour talking with the girl named Ally. For the Prime Minister, this was a more comfortable and happy conversation than with the person who called himself Fudge.
In front of the man who calls himself the Minister of Magic, the Prime Minister always feels like a child who doesn't understand anything, which makes him very uncomfortable.
But in front of Ally, the Prime Minister seemed very relaxed. Although he felt uncomfortable talking to children at first, he was quickly attracted by the content of Ally's conversation. Unlike Fudge, Ally was detailed and clear.
He introduced the current situation in the magical world to the Prime Minister, and also explained to him certain terms, as well as the ongoing developments and situations.
After listening to Ally's story and the Daily Prophet and records she produced, the Prime Minister finally made a decision.
"Then I leave this matter to you, Jones."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
From Ellie's point of view, this decision is the last nail in the coffin of the wizarding world.
Fudge has never understood that the Prime Minister is also responsible. He doesn't know that you can't just solve the problem of wizards' fighting involving Muggles. In fact, she has already thought that the Prime Minister will definitely support her proposal. There are many reasons.
Simply, as the Prime Minister said before, in order to cover up the traces of wizards, Fudge and other people from the Ministry of Magic processed the battle scenes to make them look like natural disasters or ordinary disasters.
However, this has had a very negative impact on the Prime Minister himself. The opposition will seize on these to criticize his policies and work hard to reduce his approval rating. Can Fudge solve these problems?
Of course he can't solve it. In fact, Fudge is like other wizards. They don't care about Muggle problems at all. It seems that in their eyes, the magical world and the Muggle world are two completely different worlds. But unfortunately, the fact is
Not really. Everything they do has real-world repercussions, just like now.
You see, the wizards created the problem, but did not solve it. They had to let completely unrelated people take the blame - the Prime Minister hated these damn bastards. They were obviously responsible for causing trouble and destroying the bridge, but in the end they wanted to do it themselves.
Parliamentary inquiry answers questions about bridge interfaces and corner-cutting...
The Prime Minister also wants to kill these wizards now.
And now, the other party provided him with an excellent opportunity to intervene.
Listening to the little girl in front of me, the magical world is facing an unprecedented threat - the Prime Minister also heard this from the Minister of Magic, and more importantly, the other party's goal is not just wizards, their ultimate goal is to rule
This country rules all mortals. To put it simply, this is actually a large-scale terrorist attack in the magical world. So as long as it is treated as such, the Prime Minister can immediately return to the field he is good at.
After all, he may not understand how these wizards turned a cup into a hamster, but political matters are similar regardless of class.
The large-scale mobilization of the Muggle community will not arouse the attention of wizards. They don't even know what those Muggles are doing. Of course, Ellie doesn't expect them to understand the significance of the military deployment. The Ministry of National Defense has already been informed by the Prime Minister.
They began to gather under the guise of "military counter-terrorism drama" and waited for the opportunity to come - it wouldn't take long.
Ellie knows this very well.
This year's Hogwarts feels more deserted than in previous years. This is not because of the decrease in the number of students, but more because of Voldemort's resurrection and the reappearance of Death Eaters. People are frightened, and so are the students in the school. By the way,
As Voldemort's resurrection became a fact, Fudge stepped down, and Umbridge disappeared without a trace on the same day. So the Care of Magical Creatures class lost its teacher again...
Now some students have begun to hear that the curse has been transferred from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to the Care of Magical Creatures class. Because Ellie is too powerful, the curse cannot have an effect on her, so she chose other classes... Well, of course this is just
rumor.
The atmosphere in the school is getting more and more tense, but nothing has changed for Ellie. She just lurks silently and waits.
Until this day, Dumbledore left Hogwarts with Harry Potter.
Ellie knew what they were going to do, they wanted to eliminate the Horcruxes, and they found the location of a Horcrux. But tonight, Malfoy would repair the Vanishing Cabinet, and then let a group of Death Eaters sneak into the school, and then they
would kill Dumbledore.
Just like now.
She watched the Death Eaters surrounding Dumbledore who was standing on the tower. They were grinning ferociously, as if they were stupid wild dogs. But this could not change anything. They waved their wands and signaled Malfoy to take action. According to
The next encounter in the original book is that Snape appears and kills Dumbledore.
In theory this should be the case.
But Dumbledore is no longer a threat now.
Thinking of this, Ellie narrowed her eyes, got close to the sniper scope, and then pulled the trigger.
"boom!!!"
The head of one of the women waving a wand exploded, and her headless body swayed comically a few times before falling to the ground.
That was Bellatrix Black, the murderer of Sirius in the original book, and now she is dead.
Then Ellie pulled the bolt again, aimed at another target, and pulled the trigger again.
"boom!!"
As the gunfire rang out, blood suddenly burst out from the chest of a big blond man. He raised his wand in horror, trying to do something, but he couldn't do anything... Soon, his head was like a balloon.
It also exploded and shattered in all directions.
The few remaining Death Eaters looked panicked and frightened. Ellie saw them waving their wands in the air, as if they wanted to find something, but unfortunately they couldn't find anything. If they had moved to other places, if
When these Death Eaters were attacked, they could use Apparation to escape, but unfortunately they came to Hogwarts, where all Apparition is strictly prohibited. So they only walked around in circles on the tower, trying to find out who killed them.
Besides, these idiots lose nothing.
Judging from their looks, they might have thought that someone was hiding in the tower and blowing their heads off with some magic spell.
It's a pity that the wizard doesn't seem to have learned how to deal with large-caliber sniper rifles.
So when another one of them did not choose to hide, but stuck his head out and looked out, trying to find the target, Ellie pulled the trigger again.
"boom!!"
The third Death Eater fell. At this time, the others seemed to finally come to their senses. They called for their broomsticks, and then hurriedly rode on the broomsticks and flew out of the tower. But this did not stop Ellie's attack. She again
Taking aim, he smashed another Death Eater on a broom into pieces.
The remaining two seemed to have escaped from the Hogwarts barrier. They apparated instantly and then disappeared from Ellie's sight.
It was only then that Ellie put down the large-caliber sniper rifle in her hand, then sat on the broom and leisurely came to the top of the tower.
There, Dumbledore was slumped on the ground, looking at Ellie's appearance, he showed a helpless smile.
"I really didn't expect you to help me, Miss Ellie."
"I thought about it, you only have one year left to live anyway."
Ellie looked at Dumbledore.
"If you die without letting you see what the magic world will become, I'm afraid I won't be willing to do it."
"Really? Actually, I don't really want to see that scene."
Dumbledore closed his eyes tiredly.
"Sorry, I think I need to take a rest first."
"I think so......"
“Boom, boom, boom——!!!”
However, before Ellie finished speaking, suddenly, there was a thunderous sound outside. Ellie and Dumbledore turned their heads and saw that over Hogwarts School, thick dark clouds began to twist and condense.
In an instant it turned into an ugly mark.
"The Dark Mark, it seems Voldemort is more eager than imagined."
Ellie blinked and quickly understood what was going on. In the original book, Voldemort only attacked Hogwarts after Dumbledore died. But the situation is different now. His men were not able to kill him.
Dumbledore, and Voldemort must have heard from his men that Dumbledore was currently extremely weak, so he planned to take the opportunity to attack Hogwarts and directly advance the decisive battle.
After all, Voldemort didn't know that Dumbledore only had one year left to live. In Voldemort's view, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But it's okay, Ai Li doesn't want to waste time.
Perhaps Voldemort was so bold because he had successfully mastered a Horcrux, or perhaps he thought he could make a comeback again?
Anyway...the other party made a decision.
Thinking of this, Ai Li narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
