Chapter 1076 Clearly

Lucius Malfoy was reading the articles in "The Quibbler" carefully. Judging from the recent articles, Fudge's situation has become worse. He remembered the prediction about Fudge's resignation some time ago, and his brows furrowed deeper. .

 Obviously, someone is specifically targeting Fudge, and even intends to do something against him.

 This is by no means good news for Lucius Malfoy.

He didn't want Fudge to fall, or none of the Death Eaters wanted Fudge to fall. With Fudge here, he could help them hold back Dumbledore.

The creaking sound of the wooden door being pushed open suddenly sounded, followed by a burst of noisy footsteps and noise. Lucius Malfoy put down the magazine in his hand, looked up at the group of people entering the secret base, and asked, "Were you not noticed when you came?"

"Do not worry!"

 Bellatrix pulled out the chair and sat down, then raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you want from us?"

"Many of you are on the wanted list, so I have to be careful." Lucius Malfoy was not at ease with Bellatrix. God knows what this crazy woman would do.

 “I didn’t expect that there is such a place.”

“It’s our temporary base.” Lucius Malfoy said casually.

 “What do you want from us?”

 “Just a moment, the others should be arriving soon.”

Lucius Malfoy nodded slightly towards the other people as a greeting to each other.

After a while, the mechanical clock in the corner of the room rang, and the last Death Eater walked in at the right time.

“Okay everyone, please be quiet.”

While the Death Eaters were whispering, Lucius Malfoy clapped his hands hard to attract everyone's attention.

The noise in the hall gradually quieted down.

"The Dark Lord has given us an important task." Lucius Malfoy looked at August Rookwood and continued: "The Dark Lord needs to get the prophecy ball in the Department of Mysteries. With Potter's prophecy ball, for some reasons, the Dark Lord is unable to appear in person at the Ministry of Magic."

 “Prophecy ball?” Dolohov frowned and said, “That’s it…”

"Just know it and don't say it." Lucius Malfoy interrupted Antonin Dolohov, "The Dark Lord takes this matter very seriously and only allows success and no failure."

 The whispers in the hall suddenly became intensive. Many people knew about this prophecy, but they did not know the content of the prophecy.

Lucius Malfoy glanced at Avery, nodded slightly towards August Rookwood, and continued: "The Prophecy Hall has been cast a very troublesome magic, that is, only those who have been prophesied are qualified. Taking the prophecy ball off the shelf was also the main reason for Bode's previous failure."

“We want Potter to help us remove the prophecy ball?” Many Death Eaters frowned, feeling that this method was very unreliable.

“Porter will certainly not compromise easily.”

Bellatrix said without thinking: "It's very simple, use the Imperius Curse?"

“Potter was able to resist the Imperius Curse.”

"The Dark Lord has a way to make Potter mistakenly think that Sirius Black has been caught by us. With Potter's character, he will definitely run to save people at all costs." Lucius Malfoy told the plan.

“It’s a good plan, but it may have flaws.”

 “Flaw?”

If Porter had a way to contact Black, he would definitely confirm Black's situation first, and then the plan might not go smoothly. "Dolokhov reminded.

“Not long ago, Kreacher, the house elf of the Black family, took the opportunity to run away from home and ran to my house. He can complete our plan, so we don’t have to worry about running into problems.” Lucius Malfoy explained.

　　"It's not easy for Potter to break into the Ministry of Magic!" McNeill frowned and reminded: "The Ministry of Magic is heavily defended, and it is impossible for Potter to break into the Department of Mysteries under the eyes of the Ministry of Magic employees."

"We need to lure away some Aurors, and it is best to control some members of the Ministry of Magic to ensure that the Ministry of Magic is under our control that night." Lucius Malfoy briefly stated his plan. The reason why these people came here is that there are some things that he simply cannot accomplish by himself.

"The Department of Mysteries is also a big problem. We need someone to open the door for us, otherwise no one else can get through the door." August Rookwood could not reveal much information to them, but something was not there within the confines of confidentiality.

"Saul Crocker! As long as we control him, it shouldn't be a problem for him to help open the door when the time comes." Lucius looked around at the crowd and asked, "Is there anything else you want to add?"

“What if members of the Order of the Phoenix provide reinforcements?” Someone else said, “It is impossible for Potter to leave Hogwarts without alerting other people. Members of the Order of the Phoenix will definitely know about it.”

“So, we must seize Potter as soon as possible and take him and the Prophecy Ball away from the Ministry of Magic as quickly as possible.” Lucius Malfoy reminded, “Getting the Prophecy Ball is the first priority.”

 “I’m still a little worried about an accident.” Avery frowned and said.

"Accident?"

 Everyone looked at Avery.

“You shouldn’t be afraid anymore!” Someone jeered in a low voice. Avery was in a bad situation recently. His successive failures made the Dark Lord lose confidence in him.

"That Mudblood named Albert Anderson is very evil!" Avery ignored the sarcastic looks of others and said to himself: "That Mudblood seems to be able to predict what may happen in the future."

"Albert Anderson?" Bellatrix repeated in a low voice. She had heard this name mentioned more than once.

"That Mudblood is really evil and powerful. He even defeated the Dark Lord in the duel competition..." Avery closed his mouth under Malfoy's glare.

"I think the probability is not high. According to the information provided by Severus, although Albert Anderson was invited by Dumbledore, he thought that the Order of the Phoenix was unreliable and did not join. Moreover, he was not involved with the members of the Order of the Phoenix. It's not very close." Lucius Malfoy told everyone what he knew. "Even if he is really a master of prophecy, he still needs to make prophecies to get the results. I don't think he would predict this by such a coincidence. "

“I still think I should be wary of that guy,” Avery muttered.

"If we really encounter trouble..." Lucius Malfoy frowned and said, "We can summon the Dark Lord, and then I will discuss with the Dark Lord how to deal with the worst case scenario of the whole thing."

"Just kill him!" Bellatrix had a hard time understanding what these people were struggling with.

 It’s just a mudblood, just kill him.

"We can't find him during the holidays. Even if we know that he is hiding in Hogwarts, it is not easy to break in and kill him." Malfoy glanced at Bellatrix and reminded: "Besides, that mudblood is very powerful and is the duel champion this time. If we don't have enough manpower, I doubt we can be his opponent at all."

"Are you sure you're not kidding?" Bellatrix felt ridiculous that Malfoy would actually worry about a mudblood. "That mudblood only managed to escape from the Dark Lord's hands by relying on Dumbledore's protection. "

 The Death Eaters who knew something about Albert frowned. Although they hated Albert, they at least had a basic understanding of him.

 There is no doubt about the strength he has shown.

"Ask Draco to tell me the specific time of the next Hogsmeade. I will definitely be able to ambush him halfway and take the opportunity to kill him." Bellatrix assured her with a slap on her chest.

Lucius Malfoy looked at Bellatrix for a long time, as if trying to determine whether Azkaban had damaged her brain.

After a moment of silence, Lucius Malfoy said slowly: "Barty Crouch Jr. once had a similar idea to you. It is said that he also controlled a group of people to sneak attack on that guy, but he killed them all by himself. It was settled, and the Mudblood came out of the maze unscathed and won the Triwizard Tournament."

Avery also looked at Bellatrix with an idiot look. He was very afraid of Albert, especially after consecutive defeats, he realized that even the Dark Lord might not be able to kill him easily, because that guy could peek into the future and avoid danger in advance.

"If there is a chance, we can deal with that mudblood." Lucius Malfoy said to others present: "But it is definitely not a reckless action, it will only bring us unnecessary trouble."

"The latest news I got is that the mudblood seems to be getting married." Avery said suddenly.

 "Marriage? Are you sure." Lucius Malfoy was a little stunned.

"I don't know, but it is said that someone received the invitation just this summer. The specific time is not clear. With that guy's character, he will definitely not let others know the specific time and place easily." Avery reminded, "If we To kill him, this may be the best opportunity. When getting married, I think he should... not be too vigilant. After all, he has to be busy with many things and it is easy to be distracted."

"That's a good idea." Bellatrix licked her lips, looking excited. "Who is that mudblood planning to marry?"

 “Not sure.” Avery shook his head, “That guy is very cautious.”

"If we plan to attack him, we can investigate carefully and solve the problem at once without leaving any hidden dangers." Looking at the people who were very interested in this matter, Lucius Malfoy couldn't help but shake his head. Mudbloods are not easy to mess with. If they fail to kill someone right away, they are likely to attract revenge. Being targeted by such a guy is definitely not a good thing.

 “By the way, there’s one more thing.” Avery said suddenly.

"What's up?"

"Honestly, I don't want to say anything disappointing, but we'd better prepare an escape method if we fail." Avery looked around the crowd and said, "I remember that the Ministry of Magic cannot apparate. In the worst case scenario, we It's best to be prepared before you get stuck in the Ministry of Magic."

 “I think you must have thought of a solution?” Everyone was waiting for Avery’s follow-up words.

 “Use the portkey.”

"We can turn socks into door keys. It is said that Potter used this method to slip away from the Dark Lord." Malfoy suddenly said, "We can make a reservation, even if we are really stuck in the Ministry of Magic. , you can also escape smoothly."

 Everyone looked at each other and began to discuss the matter in whispers.

　　Although most Death Eaters think this is no doubt, this is undoubtedly an insurance for them, at least it can effectively avoid the embarrassing situation of being blocked in the Ministry of Magic.
