Chapter 160 Respective plans

Like most other members of the Black family, the name Bellatrix also comes from the stars in the sky.

On winter nights, the most eye-catching constellation is undoubtedly Orion, an hourglass-shaped constellation of seven bright stars hanging in the southern sky.The constellation Canis Major, where Sirius is located, is just to the right foot of Orion.

There are many legends about Orion, both in the wizarding and Muggle worlds.

According to Egyptian mythology, the star of Orion was an offering to Osiris, the god of the underworld. According to legend, after Osiris was killed, his body was cut into 14 pieces and scattered across the continent.

His wife Isis recovered 13 yuan of it, but No. 14 was also the most important piece for men. It was eaten by a fish and could not be recovered in the end.

Isis wrapped the fragments in human form with a shroud and used her secret skills to try to resurrect Osiris. However, because a fragment was missing, Osiris only lived for one day before dying again.

Muggles regard these stories as legends, while many thoughtful wizards are more interested in this spell that can bring the dead back to life, and they rush into the pyramid one after another, trying to unlock this secret.

Therefore, for more than 2000 years, various ancient mechanisms inside the pyramid have swallowed up the lives of countless intruders, and those wizards who were lucky enough to escape have all chosen to forget what they saw and heard inside the pyramid, and put that period into Terrible memories sealed away.

Interestingly, the position and brightness of the three pyramids exactly correspond to the three stars on Orion's belt, and the Nile River flowing north next to the pyramids corresponds to the Milky Way in the sky.

As for Bellatrix, the star her name represents is located on the left shoulder of Orion. It is a bright star that emits an ominous pale yellow light. The pronunciation of her name, if placed in Arabic, means exactly ——Female warrior.

As her name suggests, Bella, as a rare female Death Eater, is so militant that even Antonin Dolohov and Dolphin Rohr, who are known for their cruelty, have to be outdone.

The long time in Azkaban made her already extreme character even more unstable and crazy.

Travers already has a deep understanding of this.

So when Bella spoke, Travers wisely kept his mouth shut and made no more noise.

For a while, the only sound that could be heard in the house was the crackling sound of wood burning in the fireplace.

"That's right... the masters are here." Voldemort hissed, "Then, what are you going to do?"

"I'll go kill them all." Bella immediately volunteered, her normally half-open eyes now widened, her expression full of impatience.

Normally, little Barty would definitely have ridiculed her when he heard her unconsidered idea, but now that several people had just been beaten up by Voldemort due to a small-scale internal strife, little Barty just smiled faintly, almost unnoticeably. The ground shook his head.

Voldemort, who was lying on the sofa, felt helpless after hearing Bella's words.

In terms of loyalty, there is no doubt that Bella is absolutely loyal and can be called a model among Death Eaters in this regard.

In terms of magic power, she is a fighting madman, and her strength ranks among the top five, or even the top three, among all Death Eaters.

But when it comes to the mind...

Not to mention.

Voldemort turned to Barty again and asked softly: "What about you?"

Little Barty licked his lips, then straightened up, organized his words, and said: "I do have a plan, but I need these two to fully cooperate with my plan..."

"Very good. Tell me and let me hear it..." Voldemort said, "If I think it is feasible, then you will have all the command rights for this operation to order them to cooperate with you... Both of you, hear it. What did I say?"

"Yes, Master." Bella and Travers replied in unison.

Little Barty then took out a bottle of magic potion from his pocket and said: "In the knowledge of those losers at the Ministry of Magic, the three of us should be buried in Azkaban now, so in order to avoid exposing our identities, We need this..."

At the same time, inside the tent of the Ministry of Magic's operations team.

Amos Diggory walked up and down anxiously, mumbling something else.

"Can you sit down?" McNeil finally couldn't help it. "It's going around so much that it makes me dizzy."

"I don't know what topic they have, but they have to discuss it behind our backs." Amos complained, "The discussion lasted for half an hour. Does Mad-Eye think there are traitors among us?"

Arnold Peacegood was musing over his sandwich, and from the looks of it he was determined not to let his mouth have any free time to utter a single word.

Tonks put a copy of "Fighting Fire with Fire" over her face and decided not to look at Amos.

As a Hufflepuff classmate, she knew Cedric Diggory, but it seemed from now on that Cedric didn't inherit many of his father's qualities other than his surname.

Tonks now thought this was a good thing, because if Cedric was really a smaller version of Amos, he wouldn't be as popular as he is now.

Obviously, Moody and Lupine did not trust McNeil because of his criminal record, but they could not directly say to McNeil: "We are going to talk. There are many things in it that you cannot hear. Please You avoid it."

Therefore, they could only wrong the other three people and be kept in the dark along with McNeil.

Fortunately, Moody and Lupine finished their discussion quickly and returned to the tent.

"According to Remus, we have arrived at the enemy's territory, and there is even a high possibility that we have been discovered by them." Moody summoned several people and announced this conclusion.

"Enemy?" Peacegood jumped up from his chair, "I thought we were here to find the five-legged monster?"

"To a certain extent, it's the same thing." Lu Ping said flatly. "Without someone behind the scenes, it's impossible for those five-legged monsters to cross the ocean from Delia Island and come here."

"So who are those enemies?" Amos asked, his tone still full of dissatisfaction, "According to Mad-Eye's usual logic, it must be some Death Eater who slipped through the net."

"Exactly!" Moody suddenly shouted.

Gu Di</span> Peacegood was so frightened that he dropped half of the sandwich in his hand. Tonks' hair silently turned a dangerous purple, while McNeil's fingers slowly moved away from him. The ax blade scratched it.

"I've had enough of you treating your unrealistic fantasies as reality!" Amos yelled back without showing any signs of weakness, his face turned red, and his spit almost hit Moody's face.

"But the reality is indeed true, whether you believe it or not." Moody lowered his voice instead, "We are in danger now, and every move may be under their surveillance... If anyone plans to withdraw, here There is a door key..."

As he spoke, he pulled out a battered old kettle.

"...As long as I activate it, in ten seconds, it will take you back to your warm and comfortable office at the Ministry of Magic...I will give you a chance to consider it."

"I'm not going back." Tonks suddenly spoke, "This should be the Auror's office."

"We have all come here, whether these monsters ran out by accident, or..." Peacegood muttered, "We have to find out, don't we? Otherwise, if we go back in despair, we will definitely be killed. Those colleagues laughed at me..."

"Anyway, I'm just killing these freaks. It doesn't matter where I am." McNeil struck the ground twice with the handle of the axe, making a clanging sound.

"What are you looking at me for?" said Amos Diggory at last. "Do I look like the kind of man who would leave his companions and run away alone?"

"It seems that the problem has been solved." Lupine clapped his hands gently twice and said to Moody with a smile, "Then Mad-Eye, tell me your plan."

Moody's magic eyes swept over everyone's faces in turn, and found that even McNeil, who was sitting in the corner, was raising his head to listen to his arrangements. Then he spoke in his normal rough voice: "I just said, Now we have entered the enemy's territory, so starting tonight, we will arrange for people to keep vigil to ensure safety. We have six people, who happen to be in groups of two... Amos, you and Arnold will be in a group to guard the second shift... …As for McNeil…you’re on the third shift with me.”

The first group of people to watch the night were naturally Lupine and Tonks.

Such an arrangement was naturally motivated by selfish motives. Moody himself had to keep an eye on McNeil, an unstable factor, and his "apprentice" Tonks must be taken care of by someone he could trust.As an old comrade in the Order of the Phoenix, Lupine is fully worthy of Moody's trust in terms of character and ability.

After allocating the night watchmen, Moody saw that no one had any objections, so he continued: "Now, people in the second and third shifts, hurry up and sleep."

Everyone looked at each other in shock. They originally thought that this experienced and battle-hardened old Auror could come up with some ingenious plan, but they didn't expect that they were just waiting for this sentence.

"Is this your plan?" Amos took off his glasses, wiped them hard with the corner of his clothes, and asked in disbelief.

"The first step in the plan is to spend the night safely, try to have a good rest and recover your strength." Moody replied impatiently, "There is no point in talking about the rest now."

McNeil snorted coldly, picked up the ax and went back to his bedroom. Seeing this, Moody also limped into the room with his prosthetic leg.

"Actually, I think this is a good reason." Peacegood pulled Amos towards their bedroom, not forgetting to say to Lupine and Tonks, "I wish you good luck."

The room fell silent for a moment, and Tonks put the "Fighting Fire with Fire" collection into her backpack.

Lupine was leaning against the pillar in a daze.

"Where did you go just now?" Tonks suddenly approached Lupine and asked curiously, blinking her big eyes, "Did you meet the Dark Wizard?"

Lupine was startled by her, and hurriedly took two steps to the side, and then said: "I did go to see a Black Wizard just now..."

The wording was so strange that Tonks didn't react for a moment.

"Is there really a dark wizard?" she asked, "I thought it was Mad-Eye who was scaring us to get us motivated...he always likes to do that."

"This time it's true. What we have to face is not only five-legged monsters, nor ordinary dark wizards, but also..." Lu Ping thought about his words, "...Death Eaters."

"Death Eaters? You mean..." Tonks pointed to McNeil's room and mouthed silently.

"No...it's those guys who are more dangerous and cruel." Lupine said gloomily, "You know? You shouldn't be here. After hearing that you were also on the list of the action team, Padfoot and Regulus We are all worried..."

"Professor Black...Uncle Regulus and the others know about this operation?" Tonks asked, "Why didn't they come together?"

Lupine didn't want to explain too much about Regulus' plan, so he calmly prevaricated: "He has other things to deal with."

"I really want to know what he would say if he saw me successfully defeating a Dementor." Tonks said with some regret.

"That is really a beautiful Patronus Charm." Lupine praised with a smile, "Considering your age, it is even more valuable to be able to do this."

"But when I met that woodland troll, I still panicked..." Tonks said with some embarrassment, "I was stupid enough to attack it with a stun spell... You didn't see Mad-Eye's expression at that time , when we go back, he will definitely scold me again..."

"That's because you lack experience. Let's put it this way, the next time you encounter a giant monster, you will definitely not use the stun spell to deal with it..." Lupine said, "This is progress, isn't it?"

"Thank you... I think you would be very good if you became a teacher." Tonks said, "Unfortunately, I have already graduated and have no chance to experience it."

"If you want to learn magic, you don't have to be in school." Lupine walked outside the tent, looked at the waning moon rising in the eastern sky, and said to Tonks who followed him out, "If you want to learn If I happen to know any spells, I will teach you."

"Really?" Tonks looked excited and reached out to grab Lupine's sleeve.

"Of course." Lu Ping took his sleeves out of her hands without leaving any trace, and said, "I want to strengthen the defensive magic around here now. If you have learned it, you can come and help... The first is 'Total Protection' ', and 'Lower the Trap'... As for the spell 'Close the earplugs and listen', it is also very useful, although it was invented by Severus..."

So, the two of them took out their wands and walked around the tent, releasing all the protective magic they could think of.

"It can be seen that you have put a lot of effort into protective magic." After the spell was completed, Lupine praised, "I think that in this aspect alone, you are already stronger than half of the official Aurors."

"Of course, I went through special training when I was in school!" Tonks said proudly, "You don't know that I was beaten by Professor Black... I still used to call him that... you don't know that I was beaten a lot by him. How miserable.”

"I think he would be proud to have you as a student."
