Chapter 779 Voldemort's (Dumbledore's) Plan Is Going Smoothly
"Fix, aren't you going to watch this year's final?"
Dean and Seamus came to the cat who was basking in the sun on the window sill and asked.
The cat raised his head slightly, half-opened one eye and glanced at the pair of best friends, then quickly closed his eyes again, put his head back on the two overlapping front paws, and flicked his tail.
"Meow~"
(=ω=)
Maomao had a mission today, and Dumbledore asked him to keep an eye on the situation outside the castle.
Fish usually doesn't like to watch Quidditch, but now that there is still a fight to be had, only a fool would watch such a boring game!
Dean and Seamus, who failed to invite Cat, sighed helplessly, and then caught up with the other Gryffindor students, discussing today's game while walking towards the Quidditch pitch.
"Harry! What are you doing?!" Ron's call suddenly brought Harry back to his senses. "The game is about to begin. As the captain, don't you do some pre-war mobilization?"
"Maybe he is thinking about how to talk to Qiu Zhang while waiting for the game?" Ginny, who also joined the team this year, said jealously.
"Ahem..." Harry didn't dare to mess with Ginny at this time. He coughed twice, then raised his voice and shouted: "Everyone, come here! Let's finalize today's tactics..."
He skillfully repeated to each team member the tasks they said they would undertake during today's game, then clapped his hands, imitating Wood and Angelina's original appearance, and roared: "Gryffindor! Win!"
"Oh——!!!"×6
The other team members roared in unison and raised their brooms high.
After Harry finished his pre-war mobilization, he led his team members to the stadium.
However, having always loved the sport of Quidditch, he didn't care about the outcome today because, like Fish, he had received a notice from Dumbledore.
In order to protect the Malfoy family, Dumbledore only informed Fish and Harry about this matter, and told them to keep it secret. Even except for Snape, other professors did not know about it. Nothing.
The reason why he took such a risk was because both Fish and Harry had confidence in the Cat Club. As long as they could react in time, the members of the Cat Club would definitely be able to stop the attackers.
Therefore, Harry's main task today was not to find the Golden Snitch, but to issue an early warning to the students on the court as soon as Greyback and the others appeared, so as to avoid irreparable casualties.
The secondary task is not to win, but to delay the end of the game as much as possible, because if the game ends prematurely, firstly, Harry will not be able to conduct reconnaissance in the sky, and secondly, everyone may be spread out. On the contrary, they are more likely to be attacked by Greyback and the others.
Thanks to the fact that if Gryffindor wants to win the championship this year, this game needs to be won by a big score, so Harry can very reasonably arrange delaying tactics for the players, and what he has to do is to keep an eye on Qiu Zhang. , telling her not to catch the Golden Snitch so quickly.
Following Ms. Huo Qi's whistle, fifteen broomsticks rose into the air. Harry controlled his Nimbus 2000 and quickly got close to Qiu Zhang, but his eyes glanced outside the field every chance he got. .
…
"Draco, do we really have to do this?" Goyle and Crabbe carefully moved the vanishing cabinet while looking at Malfoy hesitantly.
"Shut up! Don't attract other people's attention!" Malfoy scolded with a cold face: "At this point, can we still back down?"
At this time, Goyle, Crabbe, and the Vanishing Cabinet were all covered with invisibility cloaks supported by the Death Eaters, so from the perspective of others, it was just Malfoy wandering around the castle alone.
Goyle shrank his neck, stopped talking, and silently moved the disappearing cabinet outside the castle with Crabbe.
"Haha! Look who this is? A Slytherin!"
Peeves appeared out of nowhere and flew around Malfoy's head.
Although Dumbledore had dismissed other professors for various reasons, and students from the other three houses had basically gone to watch the game, he had no way to control the ghosts in the school.
Seeing Peeves appear, Goyle and Crabbe stopped quickly and did not even dare to breathe out for fear of being discovered by him.
"If you don't stay in your dark underground, why are you running upstairs?"
Although Peeves usually doesn't dare to go to the basement to cause trouble because of Bloody Baron, if a Slytherin student runs upstairs, he won't let it go easily.
Malfoy slowly looked up at the malicious Peeves, his lips slightly raised, as if he was a smaller version of Snape.
"Oh? The dark underground? I think Barrow will be very interested in your evaluation."
"I, we are ghosts! We like dark places, what's the problem?!" Peeves stuttered in defense.
Malfoy sneered and continued to say slowly: "Yes, Mr. Barrow must be able to accept this reason. I will definitely convey it to him for you word for word."
"Wait, wait! I haven't done anything yet, have I?" Peeves decisively gave up.
In the entire Hogwarts, apart from Fish, the only person who can scare Peeves is Bloody Barrow. Especially in recent years, Fish hasn't come to "play" with him for a long time, so Peeves just needs to avoid Bloody Balor as before.
"Of course," Malfoy nodded, "So, what else do you want?"
"No more, no more!" Peeves shook his head like a rattle, "I wish you a happy life!" After saying these words, he quickly got into the wall and disappeared.
"Let's go."
After driving away Peeves, Malfoy lowered his voice and continued to lead Goyle and Crabbe outside the castle.
There were no more accidents in the rest of the journey. The three of them carried the disappearing cabinet and arrived at a small forest between Hogwarts Castle and the Quidditch pitch.
"You go back to the dormitory first, and don't come out until something happens outside." Malfoy told Goyle and Crabbe: "Also, try to prevent other Slytherin students from coming out... You can go to Pansy, Daphne and Blaise help."
Goyle and Crabbe responded dully.
"Draco..." Goyle suddenly said before leaving: "Be more careful yourself."
"Yeah." Malfoy nodded slightly.
As a rustling sound gradually faded away, Goyle and Crabbe, wearing invisibility cloaks, left the forest first.
Malfoy took off the invisibility cloak on the disappearing cabinet, opened the door of the disappearing cabinet, threw a piece of chocolate frog in and then closed the door.
After a while, there was movement in the cabinet. Lucius Malfoy came out first, followed by Umbridge and Greyback, and finally the prisoners who had been taken over by Voldemort and the werewolves under Greyback.
"Father." Malfoy handed the invisibility cloak in his hand to Lucius, then pointed in the direction of the stadium and said to Greyback and others: "The Quidditch pitch is over there. Go out from the woods and follow the stones. Paved path, easy to reach. ”
Then he pointed to the main road on the other side, "If Dumbledore and the others want to rush to the stadium, taking that main road is the fastest. You just need to stay here and intercept them in time... Ms. Umbridge should not strangeness."
After explaining, Draco Malfoy nodded to his father, and then returned to the castle along the original path.
Lucius stopped Greyback, who wanted to take action immediately.
"Wait until Draco gets back before you act! Do you want to kill my son?!"
Greyback curled his lips in disdain and did not take Lucius's warning seriously.
Although he was not qualified to participate in Death Eater meetings, he still knew that Lucius had recently "fallen out of favor" with Voldemort.
Fortunately, Umbridge also spoke up: "Master needs Draco to act as an informant in the school. Let's wait for a while."
She was not actually speaking for the Malfoys, she was just trying to delay this "death" action as much as possible.
Greyback snorted in displeasure and did not persist.
"Can we start?"
After waiting for about five or six minutes, Greyback urged impatiently, and the other werewolves began to become restless.
Lucius no longer spoke out to stop him, but silently put on the invisibility cloak. His mission was to bring the situation here back to Voldemort, so there was no need to get involved.
Umbridge glanced at him enviously, and then said sharply: "We will stay here, Greyback, you can take your men and move."
"Great!" Greyback showed a bloodthirsty smile, "It's a pity that it's not a full moon night, otherwise I could have added many more companions!" He licked his specially sharpened teeth and said regretfully .
Then, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
"Ouch!" "Great! I can finally taste blood!" "Hogwarts students, the meat must be very tender, right?"
The group of werewolves howled excitedly and ran quickly towards the Quidditch pitch.

In the original book, Crabbe became less respectful to Draco after Lucius lost power, and it can be seen that he is more ambitious than Goyle, and is far more vicious than Draco and Goyle. When fighting Harry in the Room of Requirement, he was the only one who used the Killing Curse and the Fire Curse, so in the end he was the only one who failed to escape.
Based on the performance in the original work, I only described the interaction between Goyle and Draco. Crabbe was still obedient at this time simply because the Draco here was strong enough to suppress him.
…
In addition, it was quite normal for Dumbledore not to tell anyone anything. Except for Snape, the other professors did not know about the Horcruxes until the final battle.
The same goes for Harry. Even when he went back to school to look for a tiara, when Professor McGonagall asked him, he only said he wanted a tiara...
I don’t understand what the idea is, and I’ve obviously revealed a lot of secrets before, so I’ve been holding back on this matter.
