Section 1 After dinner, Harry and the others sat under the big tree in the courtyard of the Burrow, chatting and eating the vanilla ice cream made by Mrs. Weasley. The evening wind blew through the tall grass, startling a group of unknown birds, leaving behind their disappearing figures in the dark red sky. "Twenty-three foreign wizards are missing, and four Muggles were unfortunately killed" Hermione put down the Daily Prophet in her hand and frowned: "The Ministry of Magic suspects that this incident was conspired by an exiled Death Eater group. Start" "Oh, Death Eaters," Ron said vaguely, holding ice cream in his mouth. "Dad said that after the fall of You-Know-Who, many of the Death Eaters fled abroad and escaped the sanctions of the Ministry of Magic." Hermione turned to look at Ron, and the anger in her eyes made him shrink back. "These lunatics, hasn't the Ministry of Magic taken any measures against them?" "The Ministry of Magic can't do anything about them." Bill shook his head helplessly, with the long tooth earrings dangling on his ears. "Most of them are incognito or changing their identities. "The Ministry of Magic has no conclusive evidence and doesn't have enough energy to hunt them down in foreign countries." "Wolves will always hurt people," Fred added, "Now the Ministry of Magic is very busy. Look, dad is here." They haven't come back yet. " "They should be sent to prison, to Azkaban," Hermione said firmly, but she still seemed a little hesitant when she mentioned Azkaban. It was obvious that she had been with Dementor last year. The strange contact left her with lingering fears, "Their bad habits are hard to change and they should be punished by the law. The Ministry of Magic should not condone them." "Actually, they have indeed been punished." Bill said with some seriousness, "Under their master's control After the fall, most of them were severely punished by the law, and the Ministry of Magic did not tolerate them. "But some people are still at large, right? They just did something big," Ron said unconvinced. Think about it, they are right next to us - the Malfoy family, I guess they must be involved in what happened that night. " "Well, although I don't like the Malfoy family, I don't think they are in the Death Eaters team - I. I met their family with Charlie in the forest, and the people from the Ministry of Magic were still confronting the Death Eaters at that time." Bill said, seeming to have thought of something, and raised his eyebrows and said, "Besides, I don't think they dare to do this. " Several people looked at Bill in confusion, waiting for him to continue. Bill hesitated and then said: "As the newspaper said, the Ministry of Magic suspected that this matter was done by overseas Death Eaters. It makes sense. In fact, the Death Eaters have disappeared in the UK and have never caused any trouble. "I don't think they will change their ways," George interjected. "Who knows." Bill shrugged, "But many people believe that what really made Death Eaters wary was the series of disappearances and murders a few years ago." "Disappearances?" Harry and others asked. His interest aroused, Harry frowned, "Did Death Eaters do it?" "No, on the contrary." Bill said, "Many Death Eaters have been murdered or disappeared without anyone noticing, and they are all "They deserve it, don't they?" Ron said angrily, "No, that's different." Bill interrupted, looking at the people around him seriously. , shook his head, "In those cases, it was not just the Death Eaters who were killed, but also their relatives." "Oh, God." Hermione couldn't help but cover her mouth, and her face turned pale. "I remember clearly that during that time, it was common to see reports of disappearances or murders in the newspapers. At first, some people were gloating about the misfortune, but soon everyone became worried, especially after the tragedy of Clem Lillis' family. After it happened" Bill narrowed his eyes and recalled: "He used to be a Death Eater, but later his conscience discovered that he had taken refuge in the Ministry of Magic before the mysterious man fell. Thanks to his intelligence, many people were spared. He was killed by a Death Eater. Because of this, the Ministry of Magic did not hold him accountable. Dad said that when he was tried, the jury unanimously acquitted him. " "Then what happened. What" Ron asked. "Poor Lelys, when people noticed that he and his family had not been seen for a long time, they went to his home outside Nottingham to look for him¡ª¡ª" Bill took a breath, and his face became ugly, as if he remembered He recalled some horrific memories: "But people only found mutilated bodies - him, his wife, his mother, and his two children, no one survived." For a while, no one spoke. The terrible news was digested in oppressive silence. ??"What happened next, were the murderers caught?" Hermione asked anxiously. "Maybe." Bill shook his head and said, "The successive tragedies put the Ministry of Magic under great pressure and made great efforts to investigate. Even Dumbledore went to help. Later, the Ministry of Magic said that they had caught The murderer was also a Death Eater, and his motive was revenge for those people's betrayal of the mysterious man; but some people said that the Ministry of Magic did not catch the murderer at all, but just found a scapegoat. But anyway, after that, the attack happened. It didn't happen anymore, and most of the former Death Eaters in Britain had emigrated, and the rest kept their tail between their legs." The unpleasant conversation did not continue, and everyone lost interest. When Mrs. Weasley's voice came from the other side of the house, calling a few people to go back, they brushed off the grass blades on their bodies and walked toward the Burrow through the low and dense bushes without saying a word. The sky has completely darkened, showing a deep dark blue, and the crescent moon is like a hook, casting a cool glow in the thin night fog Section 2 In the last few days of August, London has always been covered by continuous rain. The sky is covered with dark clouds, looking like an iron-gray relief. The cool breeze carries a faint earthy smell, urging passers-by to hurry up and walk through the wet streets. Withdrawing his gaze from the window, Sauron sat in an old wicker chair and picked up the newspaper on the table. On the copper shelf next to the fireplace, Faubertol was dozing lazily. Soran squinted his eyes and scanned the news in the newspaper. From time to time he would stop and think about something, and then continue reading silently. Unsurprisingly, the disaster at the World Cup is still the protagonist in the newspapers. Although the British Ministry of Magic has exerted influence on the major media, the effect is not obvious - in the face of huge casualties, people from all sides expressed this Concerns, all kinds of questions and criticisms are overwhelming. In fact, as the main driver of this disaster, Sauron himself knew more than anyone imagined, so he paid little attention to most of the reports, but he soon discovered that he Something of interest. "We are deeply saddened to learn of this tragic news - dozens of innocent victims were killed in this disaster. Obviously, it was the poor handling of the British Ministry of Magic that led to this humanitarian disaster, and after all, The root cause is the consequences of the British government's consistent policy of hostility and persecution against dissident democrats. Here, on behalf of the United States Ministry of Magic and the majority of democrats, I strongly demand that the British government apologize for this incident and stop its actions. Consistent dictatorial and high-pressure political methods" Solan narrowed his eyes, and there was no emotion on his calm face. It wasn't until he read the entire report that he pulled out a sinister smile mixed with contempt at the corner of his mouth. "A dog can't change its habit of eating shit." Sauron said to himself, throwing the newspaper on the table. But Sauron noticed something else - half an envelope was exposed under the newspaper, and the dark red sealing paint shone slightly in the dim light. It was the annual opening notice of Hogwarts, which was delivered just last night. . The new school year is about to begin, and all students will embark on the train to school on the first day of September with various moods. The black phoenix woke up at some point, flew silently onto Sauron's shoulder, and gently rubbed his cheek with his head, while Sauron raised his hand and stroked the smooth feathers of the phoenix. They didn't need to say anything. They have a tacit understanding, just like they have been doing for more than ten years. Soran glanced sideways at the newspaper spread out on the table - in the photo above the report text, a middle-aged man wearing a well-dressed suit was still talking to himself in front of the reporter's flashlight, acting coyly. The look reminded Sauron of Gerald Lockhart. For no reason, the color of the newspaper began to turn yellow and the writing became blurred. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. After a few seconds, there was nothing on the table except a layer of undetectable dust. Sauron stood up and looked out the window in trance. His face was reflected in the window, with a hint of serenity in the calmness. The sky became increasingly gloomy, and the wind mixed with the cold rain made a crackling sound on the glass. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, and blazing white lightning illuminated the street in an instant. "Look there, Mom." On the deserted street, a passing child pulled her mother and said, "There is a person behind the window over there." The mother raised her head and looked along the child's direction, but she only saw one building. The dilapidated old house, among the messy vines, there is nothing behind the dilapidated and dark windows, as if there are empty eye sockets without eyeballs, staring with malicious intent, which makes people feel chilly. "You're wrong." The mother said perfunctorily, pulling the child and walking away in a hurry, like other passers-by, getting further and further away from this terrifying place. It¡¯s just that there are really people who can stay awayAll this? The storm is approaching, and under the gloomy sky, a group of crow-like birds fly silently into the rain
