From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Escaped."

Little Barty's hand that was holding the wand tightly finally relaxed. He first checked the number of purifiers passing by, and then put it down after confirming that there were no less than one. Gathering Point No. 1 was jointly confirmed. If there was an incident, In the event of a shortage, he would have to move his people to the No. 2 gathering place arranged by him alone.

After confirming that the gathering place was safe, he nervously looked at the Death Eaters whom he considered absolutely loyal.

Bellatrix Lestrange, Rabastan Lestrange and Rodolphus Lestrange were the four of them who were still struggling to trace the Dark Lord's story even after he disappeared. Traces, and even kidnapped two Aurors.

People are narcissistic, so even though Bella always feels that she is more favored by the Dark Lord, Barty still recognizes her as a trustworthy Death Eater who works with him.

'The four of us are enough...'

He thought to himself, but the other few who were rescued by the way could be considered companions - at least they had also been squatting in Azkaban for a long time, instead of going in like those who were later betrayed by Lucius's bastard. how long.

Eleven people went in and twenty-one people came out, which is really not a success. Especially after this raid, the Ministry of Magic will definitely strengthen the defense of Azkaban, which means that it is almost impossible to save it in the future. It's possible - unless the almighty Dark Lord takes action himself.

'Screwed up...'

He was a little irritated and even wanted to punish himself - especially that Umbridge, known as the No. 1 Death Eater, died before he could rescue him. This made him feel extremely guilty and a little bit sad at the same time. Secretly happy…

‘I shouldn’t be like this. ’

But joy always emerges uncontrollably.

Fortunately, Bella finally recovered. She looked very haggard when she came out of that hellish place in Azkaban, but she was able to make a judgment after breathing fresh air for a while.

"Who are you?"

She stared closely at little Barty - she was sure that this guy was the leader before he came out. Although she saw the Dark Mark, she was accustomed to only trusting herself, especially when she was deceived by the professor at Hogwarts. After arriving at some useless information.

"It's me, Barty."

Little Barty took off his mask - although he didn't mind using this face to cause some trouble in one way or another to his dear father, he didn't want to cause any trouble to his master.

"you are still alive?"

Bella was a little surprised, then giggled crazily, "You are actually alive, I wonder who will remember us..."

Smiling, Bella's face suddenly became angry, "Since you are still alive, why don't you hide secretly and try every means to find the Dark Lord!"

She even ignored the current environment and pointed her wand directly at Barty Jr. to threaten him.

"If I say," little Barty's face was full of joy, not caring about Bella's wand at all, "I am trapped by the Dark Lord who arranged for his servants to rescue me, just like when I went to Azkaban It’s like taking you out.”

"The Dark Lord?"

All the Death Eaters who were rescued and watched the conflict between the two were stunned for a moment, and then ecstasy appeared on their faces.

"I knew it, I knew it..."

Bella's wand hung loosely, with a cheerful smile on her face, "He has not forgotten his loyal servant, he has not... yes, he has not forgotten his loyal servant."

Not only her, but the faces of the other rescued Death Eaters also showed ecstasy, as if a lost child had found a home, with smiles on their faces that should not exist on the faces of dark wizards like them.

This scene frightened the purifiers around them - they thought they were loyal enough to the Dark Lord, but compared to these people now, they were simply kind and harmless...

Such an incompatible scene naturally fell into Bella's eyes, "Are they?"

"The Purifier, the servant sent by the Dark Lord to save me..."

Little Barty tilted his head - he preferred to recognize these loyal Death Eaters as companions than the purgers who rescued him. "As for the others, we will talk about it in detail after you change your clothes and move. If there is any big news, the Ministry of Magic must be very worried."

He said such words, but his face was full of uncontrollable gloating.

——

"Dong dong dong!"

There was a knock on the door, and William put down the book in his hand and looked at Sirius and Lupin, who were fighting on the sofa - who of you two invited guests?

When the two people responded in confusion and the TV screen froze, William took out the wand.

Now that the Christmas holidays are not yet over, a sudden visit may not necessarily be a good thing.

He directly waved his wand to create his own false body, and then used the Disguise Charm to hide in the shadows according to the position he had observed earlier.

After completing all this, Lupine and Sirius found a less favorable position to hide, and took out their wands in a learned manner.

William frowned, and he pulled out the fake bodies for the two of them, and then waved his wand to open the door from a distance, pointing the wand directly at the door.

"Good afternoon, Professor William, Professor Lupin, and Black."

Dumbledore stood at the door with a smile, said hello, then blinked and turned his head to where Sirius was hiding.

'I just said he hid it too roughly...'

William shook his head, and without putting down his wand, he emerged from his hiding place - Harry's protective magic was still working, the Dark Lord would not appear, and the other wizards did not dare to say that one-on-one would be fine. But there is still no pressure in three-on-one.

"Good afternoon, Headmaster Dumbledore, what happened?"

"Hmm - it looks like I need to use a revealing potion to prove myself?"

Dumbledore looked at William and shook his head. The next second, William had handed him the potion and wand.

After a brief and hilarious self-examination, William finally put down his wand, "Okay, sorry, Principal, I'm a little nervous, mainly because I came suddenly without any letter to inform you."

"This is not your problem, Professor, but..." Dumbledore glanced around to confirm that Harry was not present, "it is the Ministry of Magic's problem."

"Ministry of Magic?"

The three of them were stunned, even William.

Are you so calm when there is a problem with the Ministry of Magic?

"Yes, Ministry of Magic, to be precise, there was a serious prison robbery in Azkaban, and the other party successfully escaped."

Lupine looked at Sirius with his mouth wide open - the first prison break he had ever heard of was caused by Sirius, and he really couldn't control his eyes.

"Escape successfully? How is it possible?"

William shook his head, "Could it be that the Dark Lord appeared and led the team himself? How dare he expose himself?"

They had reminded Fudge to add more manpower to Azkaban to prevent a possible prison robbery - in this case, if the other party could succeed, it could only mean that the Dark Lord had taken action.

But if the Dark Lord takes action, this is good news - it means that Dumbledore has enough reasons to leave the country and take action without worrying about causing panic. After all, Dumbledore is like a walking strategic weapon, no matter where he is. People are afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

"No, the guarding Aurors and strikers claimed that the opponent's appearance and departure were very sudden, but there was no crushing opponent that made people feel invincible, so I believe that Voldemort did not take action."

"Voldemort didn't take action, so the Dementors rebelled?"

"nor."

"At least one Auror on duty, plus a striker, and a group of Dementors who are not bad at fighting. They actually missed?"

William shook his head, not believing that such a thing would happen.

Are you kidding? It’s not like he’s never seen an Auror before, so he wouldn’t have fallen to this level!

Wait!

He suddenly thought of something quite important.

"Who has escaped? Are there any dead or injured prisoners - and where is Umbridge? How is she doing now, Headmaster?"

Dumbledore nodded and smiled.

"Just as you suspected, Umbridge is dead."

He spread his hands and said, "About thirty more Death Eater prisoners were accidentally killed during the pursuit. According to the report, the intruders were powerful and carried a large number of wands, which were distributed to the prisoners on the spot. Those Death Eater prisoners who regained their wands became extremely dangerous, so they had to give orders to kill..."

'Ah…'

Halfway through Dumbledore's words, William understood what was going on - he must run away. If he didn't run away, how could he prove that the attacker was so powerful that the Aurors and Strikers had to kill?

Fudge wanted to get rid of them once and for all. There was no comparison between detaining the prisoners and killing them. The latter did not have to worry about any other rescue plans. William can guarantee that if killing them all was not too outrageous, it is estimated that this time The number of accidentally killed Death Eaters will have to be increased.

Of course, it is also possible that the unlucky ones who died were to make Umbridge's death less sudden - William didn't know this. The only thing he could be sure of now was that if Umbridge was fine, the Ministry of Magic would not If anything goes wrong, it's probably because Fudge has other plans.

"How many Death Eaters escaped, Headmaster?"

"Ten people are still within the acceptable range; this is the list of escapees."

As Dumbledore spoke, he handed over a piece of parchment. William took it, then took out a booklet from his pocket and started comparing it. After three or four minutes, he nodded, "Most of them belong to the kind that Professor Moody said. They don’t have much fighting power, there are just three guys who are difficult to deal with..."

"Bella is a troublesome dark wizard," William shook his head, "Minister Fudge should have communicated with us, Bella should not have been let out."

He really didn't expect Fudge to be so anxious to kill Umbridge, otherwise he would have persuaded Fudge to accidentally kill that dangerous woman.

"It's acceptable," William finally nodded, "Although it's a little different from the plan."

"what's the plan?"

Sirius finally couldn't help but interrupt, but Dumbledore's face showed no sign of reproach at all, "A plan to prepare us all."

"It just wasn't executed that well..."

William shook his head, "However, after something like this happened, I can still carry out inspections in and out of the school openly without having to worry about knocking off anyone's makeup."

"It's more than that, Professor William."

Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "Actually, the Ministry of Magic hopes that you can go to Azkaban to detect the traces of the Death Eaters' invasion on the spot, so that the investigation can be more comprehensive."

The Ministry of Magic's own investigation will always give people a sense of distrust, especially when so many pure-blood prisoners died all at once. The Ministry of Magic cannot bear this responsibility by itself, and has to be endorsed by Hogwarts.

Let’s talk about experts or not. The key is Dumbledore’s attitude.

"Shall I go check it out?"

William raised his hand to slap the table, but finally held back, "They did it like this and still want me to go check it out?"

Sirius looked at it with great interest, but Lupine pulled him once, and when he saw no response, he pulled again, and then found an excuse to leave, leaving William panting here.

"Got to check... but we need a special search warrant from the Ministry of Magic."

William gritted his teeth, "I want to search the files, residences, and Gringotts' vaults of the rescued Death Eaters."

——

"Forget about files, residence, Gringotts' vault?"

Fudge was originally in a very good mood and even hummed a tune, but after hearing the news reported by his assistant, he was stunned.

The files were fine, but the residence and the Gringotts vault were big problems.

Even when Sirius, who was known as the number one Death Eater, was arrested, there was no precedent for searching the vault or residence - although this was probably because the Black family had removed him from the list, but if it wasn't, it wasn't.

"This can't be done. With so many purebloods dead, it's already difficult to solve the problem. Let them search arbitrarily..."

Fudge suddenly had a headache—damn it, that Umbridge guy is obviously dead!

"Can't…"

After gritting his teeth for a long time, Fudge came to the conclusion, "But the addresses of the treasury and residence can be revealed secretly, and then we can apply for a sum of money to be allocated to Hogwarts..."

It's great to hand over the galleons given by those well-fed guys...

Fudge thought with pain - the industries of the several new Death Eaters who died were perfectly divided, so there was still some progress during this period... But the large-scale recruitment of strikers and Aurors to improve their treatment... But it comes with a lot of expenses...

"But if something is missing..."

"How could there be less..." Fudge raised his head, "That's Dumbledore..."

"Yes, Minister."

The assistant nodded, "Where is Gringotts?"

"No need, how could Dumbledore be discovered when he entered Gringotts..."

——

"The address...is fine..."

William looked at the information he had received and knew that this was the limit. He laughed, but Dumbledore's face didn't look good.

Just now, he realized a problem. It was easy to say where he lived, but he didn't feel that his professor had the ability to sneak into Gringotts's vault. Quirrell and Voldemort's guidance almost leaked out. …

That…

"I'm afraid we'll be busy next time, principal."

William shook the information and said, "I have long suspected that those Death Eaters are helping the Dark Lord hide things, just like the Malfoy family."

For the first time, obvious helplessness appeared on Dumbledore's face - how did things become like this?
