Chapter 1360 How to Lose
The banquet to celebrate the expulsion of the Death Eaters ended at eight o'clock in the evening. Although Percival left several hundred galleons for the two bars in Hogsmeade as drinking expenses, most dark wizards did not Drink too much at this celebration banquet. They all know that they are not surrounded by good people, so naturally they will not be stupid enough to let themselves get drunk. Do they think they have lived too long?
As the night progressed, the large number of dark wizards gathered in the bar began to disperse, and the lights in the village gradually went out. This moonless night was particularly quiet.
There was a sound in the middle of the night, and the wooden door was opened from the inside. A figure holding a wand sneakily poked his head out from behind the door. He carefully looked around the house, and after repeatedly making sure that there was no one around, he came out of the room. He came out and quietly walked towards the outside of Hogsmeade Village under the cover of darkness. He apparated and disappeared in the wilderness far away from Hogsmeade Village.
“Who is where?”
After hearing the crackling sound, several dark wizards on guard immediately raised their wands and pointed in the direction of the sound.
"it's me."
The man in the cloak took off his hood to expose his face to the dark wizard to prevent himself from being accidentally injured by friendly forces.
“Bagman, I hope you can bring me good news.”
On the path from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade, the Death Eaters headed by Yaxley have been waiting here for a long time.
Although Alecto's people had already informed Hogsmeade of the situation through communication bookmarks, Yaxley was still uneasy and decided to spend more time waiting for the news from his own people.
"Although most of the dark wizards attended the celebration, because they lacked trust in each other, basically no one let themselves get drunk." Bagman transformed into a competent spy and reported his investigation to Yaxley Task.
“So the plan to attack them while they were drunk was ruined?”
Yaxley’s face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, and no one could clearly see the change in his expression.
“Yes, that plan is probably not very reliable.”
Bagman also heard the strangeness in Yaxley's words and quickly said, "However, most of the dark wizards did not trust each other, so most of them did not choose to stay in Hogsmeade. The dark wizards who stayed in that village There are only about one-third left, which is about a hundred people.”
Hearing the news, Yaxley's face looked much better.
"One more thing. The fanatic named Percival thinks that Death Eaters are likely to attack Hogsmeade again in the last three days. I don't know how much others have heard of it, but... it's best to be careful. . However, before I left, I found no signs of an ambush in the village, and those guys should have rested."
Bagman rambled on about what he had seen with his own eyes and the information he found useful, providing Yaxley with a lot of useful information for his night attack on Hogsmeade.
"Is that **** named Percival staying in Hogsmeade?" Yaxley raised his hand to interrupt Bagman's ramblings and asked about his concerns.
“Yes, he lives in a private house.” Bagman said.
“You’re sure.” Yaxley confirmed again.
From Yaxley's point of view, if Percival was really the mudblood in disguise, he would definitely not stay in Hogsmeade overnight.
"I'm very sure." Bagman said firmly. "That guy has recruited an elite team of dark wizards. It is said that they are eyeing the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest."
A pint of Acromantula venom is worth one hundred galleons, and Bagman has been jealous for a long time.
After the Death Eaters formed an alliance with the Acromantula, they could no longer enter the Forbidden Forest to hunt the giant spiders at will.
“Very good, whether that guy is the mudblood or not, tonight is the day he dies.”
Yaxley's eyes flashed with danger and he ordered, "Let the Inferi set out towards Hogsmeade, first use the cannon fodder to attract the attention of the dark wizards, and then cooperate with the dementors to attack them fatally." one strike.
Even if the opponent is more powerful than them, they can only surrender obediently when encountering a sneak attack and siege.
There is no doubt that no Death Eater thought they would fail, and no Death Eater thought a late-night sneak attack was a despicable act.
“You are ready to set off now, don’t you really want to wait until dawn?”
Looking at the Death Eaters preparing for action and the Dementors swarming towards Hogsmeade, Snape really couldn't understand what Yaxley was thinking.
If you are really that worried about Anderson, you should at least act cautiously.
"Percival is probably not the mudblood. I heard about this guy from other places. That guy was the third runner-up in the duel competition. The reason he didn't become the champion was because he met the mudblood and the Dark Lord."
Yaxley believes that excluding Anderson and the Dark Lord, the guy named Percival is definitely qualified to become the champion of the duel competition.
This also explains why the three Morags were easily killed.
"Of course, just in case, I hope you and McNeil will stay at Hogwarts. Once the Dark Mark appears above Hogsmeade, I hope you can bring Aurors over for support. No problem!"
“If that’s what you’re asking for, I have no problem with it.”
Snape didn’t want to get involved, he still felt that Hogsmeade was a trap.
“Yes,” said Yaxley.
“I will arrange for Aurors to keep an eye on the situation in Hogsmeade from the astronomy tower and provide you with support at any time.”
“Very good.” Yaxley looked at McNeil.
"If you catch Percival and plan to behead him in public, remember to leave it to me." McNeil made a cruel request. It was a big surprise to him that he failed to behead Hagrid himself last time. Big regret.
"no problem."
The Death Eaters set out.
A slow and rapid running sound sounded in the wilderness. Under the urging of several Death Eaters riding broomsticks, these freshly baked Inferi were staggering towards Hogsmeade.
The Dementors arrived earlier than the Inferi. They had already used the cover of night to silently surround Hogsmeade from all sides.
Even if the dementors were only scattered around the village, the temperature at night dropped rapidly, and even the window glass was covered with a thick layer of white frost.
“It will take some time for the Inferi to arrive.”
The Death Eater who came to report to Yaxley looked extremely excited, "The werewolves are already in place, and the dementors have completely surrounded the village. Our people are ready and ready to join the battlefield at any time."
Tonight's sneak attack on Hogsmeade almost integrated most of the Dark Lord's forces, and they didn't know how they could lose.
No matter how powerful the Mudblood is, he can't stop them from retaking Hogsmeade.
