"Master!" Yaxley said anxiously. "Drax believes that an entire team of Auros will be sent to move the boy."
Lord Voldemort raised his pale right hand, and Yaxley immediately fell silent. He watched angrily as Lord Voldemort turned to Snape.
"Elwyn Mason …" Lord Voldemort said. "Did anyone see the boy leave the Hogwarts with a scepter with two green pythons coiled around it?"
"Yes, Master!" Snape replied. "That night, he and Dumbledore went out and came back with that strange scepter. But not long after leaving the Hogwarts, Elwyn Mason disappeared with that scepter. I heard that they hid him in the house of a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and they plan to hide the boy there as well. "
All the Death Eaters looked at Lord Voldemort and Snape. They did not know why the topic suddenly changed from Harry Potter to Elwyn Mason and the Twin Serpent Scepter.
They did not know what the Twin Serpent Scepter was. Was that strange scepter coiled around by two snakes a magical artifact?!
There was another moment of silence, and all the Death Eaters relaxed their breathing. Lord Voldemort stared at the slowly spinning human body above his head, deep in thought.
"The house of a member of the Order of the Phoenix? The old house of the Blake Family? "
"Maybe it's there, maybe it's not. That house used to be the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Until now, it is still protected by powerful magic. The Order of the Phoenix has changed their secret keeper, so I can't tell you the address of that house." Snape said. "But whether it is that place or not, one thing is certain. The Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic have used all measures to protect that place. I think that once the boy is there, it will be very difficult for us to catch him again. They won't stay there for long, and will soon move to a safer place. Master, unless … unless, of course, the Ministry of Magic collapses before next Saturday. That way, we may have a chance to discover and decipher enough magic, and then we can deal with the rest of the magic. "
"Then, Yaxley." Lord Voldemort said to the man under the table. The fire reflected in his scarlet eyes, which flickered strangely. "Will the Ministry of Magic collapse before next Saturday?"
Everyone turned their heads once more. Yaxley straightened his back.
"Master, I have good news about this as well. I went through a lot of hardships and finally succeeded in casting the Soul Snatch Curse on Bius Dernis. "
Many of the people around Yaxley looked delighted, and Dolohov, with his long, distorted face, who sat near him, even clapped him on the shoulder.
"That's just the beginning." Lord Voldemort said calmly. "Dernis alone is not enough. Before I act, we must surround Scrimgeour and take the minister's life. Any failure in this operation will make me take a big step back."
"Yes, Master, that's true. But you know, as the director of the Magic Execution Department, Dernis not only has frequent contact with the minister, but also with the leaders of the other departments. I think, now that we have such a high-ranking official under our control, it will be very beneficial for us to subdue the others. Then, we can use them to take down Scrimgeour. "
"Not a bad idea, but you're too slow!" Lord Voldemort said in a cold, merciless voice.
"Master …" Yaxley's expression suddenly became terrified.
"It doesn't matter if our friend Dickenis is discovered before he can drag the rest of the people into this mess. In any case, we can't take down the Ministry of Magic before next Saturday." Lord Voldemort said. "If we can't break all the magic in time … then our only choice now is to kill the boy on the way."
"Master, we actually have an advantage in this aspect," Yaxley said in a panic, eager to make up for his mistake of being too slow. Yaxley said in a panic, eager to make up for his mistake of being too slow. "We've planted a few people in the Magic Transport Department. If Potter's Phantom shows up or uses the flying net, we'll know immediately."
"He won't use any of them." Snape said. "The Order of the Phoenix will not use any transportation method controlled or managed by the Ministry of Magic. They are suspicious of everything related to that location."
"That's even better." Lord Voldemort said. His left arm, which was hidden under the black robe, suddenly swayed unnaturally, as if there was something inside that could not be suppressed. "In this way, the boy must be moved outside, and we will have an easier time catching him."
He paused for a moment and looked up at the slowly moving body. "Obviously, Elwyn Mason will also be involved in this transfer. After we catch these two boys, I will deal with them personally. For a long time, their plans have been full of loopholes, some of which were caused by me. The reason those two boys are still alive is not so much because of their victory, but because of the mistakes I made. "
Everyone at the table looked at Lord Voldemort in fear. From their expressions, it was obvious that they were afraid that Lord Voldemort would blame them for their mistakes.
However, Lord Voldemort seemed to be talking to himself, and his eyes were still fixed on the unconscious body.
"I was too careless and underestimated the two of them. I was also delayed by the fatal problems of luck and opportunity in my perfect plan. But now I understand, I understand what I did not understand in the past. I want to take the Twin Snake Scepter from Mason and become a greater existence. The one who kills Potter must be me, and it must be me! "
His voice grew louder and louder, and his left arm shook even more violently under his sleeve.
Just as Lord Voldemort finished speaking, a sharp, long, and painful wail suddenly rang out in the room, as if in response to his words.
Many people at the table looked down in shock. The sound seemed to come from under their feet.
"Wormtail!" Lord Voldemort said in the same calm, thoughtful tone, his eyes still fixed on the spinning body above. "Did I not tell you to keep our prisoner quiet?"
"Yes, Master … Master," a short man at the end of the table said, panting.
Dwarf Peter. If Elwyn was here, he would not recognize him.
After being tortured by the Soul Eaters in the heart of Azkaban for a long time, he had become haggard. His body was so thin that only his bones were left. Only his ugly head was still big, and he looked very strange.
After Lord Voldemort conquered Azkaban and released all the Death Eaters, he also saved Dwarf Peter. He was now a Death Eater!
