HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 249 Rescue Preparation

In the quiet secret room, Gloria grabbed Draco's hand and said, "When you leave, remember to use the wand I gave you."

"I know." The boy hugged her, "Tonks will be fine. That man won't kill the bargaining chip so easily."

After all, Potter is impulsive and stupid, but they are not stupid.

"There will be a fierce battle at the Ministry of Magic tonight, but it won't be with the Ministry of Magic people." She said: "He wants to get that thing, and he will definitely clear obstacles for Harry to get the prophecy smoothly."

Draco let her go. "You mean..."

"The Death Eaters will definitely be lurking in the Hall of Prophecy." Gloria said firmly, "It would be best to take the prophecy ball as soon as possible. He definitely doesn't want Harry to hold the prophecy ball all the time. If he sees the prophecy inside, it will be disadvantageous to him."

Draco was a little excited, "Then why not let the Ministry of Magic's spies lurk as well and catch these Death Eaters in one fell swoop!"

He was sure that some of Voldemort's confidants would be involved in this operation.

The Ministry of Magic cannot use Apparition, which limits the chances of the Death Eaters escaping, making it much easier than catching them outside.

"No." Gloria rejected the idea. "First of all, if he wants to clear the obstacles, he will definitely ask most of the staff on duty at the Ministry of Magic to leave because of something. Secondly, tonight is a good opportunity. Not only can he get the prophecy, but he can also kill Harry."

She continued, "Without the protection of members of the Order of the Phoenix, and without the presence of officials from the Ministry of Magic, Harry can only find a few friends at most. I am the most difficult person to deal with, but I am not impossible. Such an opportunity will definitely appear for him."

Draco clenched his hands. That person... came in person.

"Isn't it too risky?"

Gloria saw his worry and said, "I must let everyone know as soon as possible that he is back. This way, Fudge needs to step down so that more people can be placed in his position. Secondly, we cannot give him the opportunity to recover silently. After all the Horcruxes are destroyed, it will be time for the final battle."

The most difficult thing is the remaining soul in Harry. Dumbledore said he is already thinking of a solution.

When it was time for dinner, even though Gloria had no appetite, she forced herself to eat something because she had a tough battle waiting for her later.

For dinner, she tilted her head back and drank the potion modified by Professor Snape.

"What is this?" Draco didn't recognize what potion it was at first.

"It's used to improve your strength." Gloria said calmly, "This is an improved version. It will be very uncomfortable to drink for the first time. When the complete and improved version is made in the future, you will be able to get it at home."

"Does it still hurt now?" he asked.

"No." Gloria said, "My body has gotten used to it. I am stronger than last year, but I will be stronger."

Her strength grew steadily and rapidly along with her magic power, and Voldemort also quickly recovered his strength during his recuperation.

Gloria had a feeling that they would have another fight tonight.

At this time, the elf appeared, "Miss Gloria, this is a letter from a wizard in the Ministry of Magic."

Gloria opened it and looked at it with Draco.

The letter said that three to four Death Eater fugitives who had escaped in January were found in a port in Inverness, Scotland. The Aurors and many staff on duty went there to investigate, and their people are keeping a close eye on it.

Gloria closed the letter, "He has already started. The Ministry is almost empty now, and the Death Eaters can easily overwhelm the remaining guards."

Draco could only pray silently, hoping that everything would go well tonight.

Ten minutes after dinner, Harry and the others arrived.

But there were more than three people coming. Luna Lovegood from Ravenclaw, Neville, Ginny and the Weasley twins from Gryffindor were all there.

Harry looked embarrassed, "We were planning to come quietly, but they insisted on following us."

His performance in the History of Magic exam worried his close friends, so they naturally asked more questions in the hall. Hermione and Ron tried to cover up the lie but it was not exposed.

It’s not that easy to sneak away from the dormitory. The exams are over and the college has to celebrate no matter what.

I sneaked out and was caught by the Weasley siblings. I couldn't delay any longer and had to tell them about it.

Fred put his arm around Harry's shoulders and said, "That's too much. You didn't even take us with you on such an important matter."

George patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fred and I are already adults and are more suitable to face this dangerous situation."

Ginny held up her wand, "I'm very talented at practicing curses, don't worry about me."

Neville swallowed and said, "I have made a lot of progress..."

Gloria's eyes fell on Luna. She was not surprised that someone from Gryffindor followed her, as this person was a student from Ravenclaw.

"Uh..." Hermione explained, "We ran into each other on the road, and she was quite perceptive and saw that we were going to do something big."

Luna smiled and said in a light voice, "I have been looking forward to an adventure like this."

Gloria didn't have much of an opinion. "Then you guys pay attention to your own safety. I may not be able to take care of that much by then."

Among the people present, she is the strongest and is fully qualified to say such words.

"Okay." She began to talk about the next course of action. "The elf will take us to the vicinity of Malfoy Manor. Follow me and Draco carefully. There is a fireplace that leads directly to the Ministry of Magic."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief. "Then we don't have to go through the phone booth. We need the consent of the person on the other end of the phone to enter the Ministry of Magic."

Hearing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Draco tried his best to resist the urge to express his contempt. Even if they went in through the phone booth, no one would stop them.

The Ministry of Magic should be guarded by Death Eaters right now.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the group of people were very obedient. When they arrived at Malfoy Manor, they went in quietly without making any sound.

Gloria and Draco did not disturb Lucius and Narcissa, and went straight to the fireplace when they arrived.

The Ministry of Magic was very quiet. Everyone who had been here was impressed. It was completely different from the daytime.

The location where strange wizards entering and leaving were usually checked was now unattended, and the entire Ministry of Magic was eerily silent.

"Why is there no one here?" Ginny couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Because there aren't many people on duty at night." Gloria said calmly, "Besides, who would break in here so easily? It would be troublesome if they were caught."

Several people kept telling themselves that they were breaking into the Ministry of Magic to save people, not to break the law intentionally...

Successfully got on the elevator and arrived at the floor where the Department of Mysteries was located.

After walking out, looking at the familiar corridor, Harry pointed to the door at the end of one side, "There, that's the door I saw in my dream."

Gloria walked in front and soon reached the door.

Hermione drew her wand and tried to cast a spell, but Gloria had already gently pushed the door open.

Neville whispered, "Is this really the door of secrecy?"

Only Gloria and Draco understood that the door was opened by the Death Eaters, who were lurking in the Hall of Prophecy, waiting for them to obtain the prophecy ball.
