Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 439 An Extremely Successful Expansion Operation! Attacking the Black Family Mansion!

As the Death Eaters began their operations, the wizarding world, which had been calm for some time, was thrown into turmoil once again.

However, thanks to Dudley's covert manipulation, this turmoil was extremely well concealed, causing no harm to the white wizards, but only arousing some doubts among them.

Because Flip-Over Alley at the end of Diagon Alley has gradually become more and more deserted.

White wizards don't usually go to Knockturn Alley.

Under normal circumstances, however, the Ministry of Magic would send a team of Aurors to conduct covert patrols and surveillance of Knockturn Alley, which was almost an open black market for dark wizards, from time to time.

This week, the Aurors have clearly felt that the foot traffic in Knockturn Alley is decreasing, changing every day.

It's as if these dark wizards have been kidnapped, or as if they no longer recognize the black market in Knockturn Alley and have started their own separate black market.

The Aurors took this very seriously and, after reporting it to the Ministry of Magic, dispatched even more Aurors to patrol the area.

But after finding some clues, the trail always went cold.

This was naturally the result of Dudley's secret help.

He was eager for Voldemort and the Death Eaters to quickly take away all the dark wizards in the British wizarding world, giving the wizarding world a precious opportunity for peaceful development.

So, they used their conceptual abilities remotely to cover up the Death Eaters' recruitment efforts.

This surprised Voldemort, who thought her luck had finally turned around and that her expansion of power was going surprisingly smoothly.

Of course, this "smooth sailing" mainly refers to the high efficiency of the operation and the fact that there were almost no unexpected incidents.

It doesn't mean that the mere mention of Voldemort's name caused all the half-blood and Muggle black wizards in the British wizarding world to immediately bow down in worship.

Nowadays, Voldemort's reputation is tarnished, and he is no longer as revered by wizards.

This applies to white wizards, and even more so to black wizards.

Hybrid and Mongoloid dark wizards are indeed living more and more cautiously and feeling more and more frustrated in the face of the current dominance of white wizards.

But that doesn't mean they're all willing to get on a leaky, sinking pirate ship.

What's more, the core crew of this pirate ship are the corrupt pure-blood wizards who used to bully and discriminate against them.

However, despite their reluctance, they were overwhelmed by the Death Eaters' overwhelming numbers and their united efforts, who launched a decisive and meticulous arrest operation against them.

Some half-blood and Muggle-blooded dark wizards felt respected by the Death Eaters' humble attitude and, after the Death Eaters' logical and clear analysis of the pros and cons, were willing to peacefully join the Death Eater organization.

Some half-blood and Mongrel black wizards, unwilling to be subdued and feeling that the Death Eaters and Voldemort were unreliable, insisted on being stubborn. As a result, they were ganged up on and ambushed by the Death Eaters and forcibly brought before Voldemort.

A very small number of powerful hybrid and Muggle dark wizards survived peaceful negotiations and ambushes by groups of Death Eaters, but they couldn't withstand the Death Eaters summoning their masters through the Dark Mark.

Voldemort sensed the specific situation the Death Eaters were facing through the Dark Mark. Confident that she could handle it, she Apparated to the scene and swiftly dealt with those tough opponents the Death Eaters couldn't handle.

As for how to change the minds of those half-blood and Muggle wizards who are unwilling to join the Death Eaters after capturing them.

Of course, we should beat them until they submit.

Voldemort's reputation was ruined, and he was no longer feared, because a series of news reports about Voldemort's defeats spread throughout the wizarding world.

When the dark wizards actually saw that green-skinned, red-eyed, noseless monster face and were easily beaten to death by Voldemort with a wave of her wand, they naturally rebuilt their awe of Voldemort.

Dark wizards share a common trait.

That's bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

They might not listen to reason, but they'll definitely listen to force.

After a brutal beating and torture, coupled with a seductive and inflammatory lecture on dark life principles, even if Voldemort had no energy left to use her dark magic to influence the minds of more people, she still managed to gain the submission of all the half-blood and Muggle dark wizards.

After a week of this, Voldemort's Death Eaters had gained more than two hundred new members.

It was four times better than she had expected!

Moreover, according to intelligence gathered by the Death Eaters, there are not many dark wizards left in the British magical world.

Therefore, Voldemort simply postponed her plan to attack Black's ancestral home, deciding instead to seize the opportunity and bring all the dark wizards in the British wizarding world under her control.

Four days later.

Even those dark wizards who were well hidden were discovered by the Death Eaters by chance and were all captured and brought under control.

All the dark wizards in the British magical world became Voldemort's minions.

The number of Death Eaters has increased dramatically. Now, in addition to more than one hundred corrupt pure-blood wizards, there are more than two hundred and thirty half-blood and Muggle-blooded dark wizards.

With a total of nearly 340 participants, this is quite a lucrative opportunity!

Voldemort, feeling triumphant, decided to take fifty of the best of the best, corrupt pure-blood wizards, and fifty equally selected half-blood and Muggle-blood dark wizards, and march overnight to the Black family ancestral home at 12 Grimmauld Place, London.

We will avenge her lineage!

As for the Black family's assets, they can only be seized during a subsequent counterattack.

……

That night, Voldemort arrived at Grimmauld Place with one hundred elite Death Eaters.

This is a Muggle neighborhood, and it has been since it was built.

Originally, one of the Black family ancestors took a fancy to townhouse number 12 here, so he used magic to drive away the original Muggle owner and take over the place.

Later, generations of wizards in the Black family cast numerous secret and protective spells on the villa, including the Fidelity Charm.

Therefore, without a confidant to reveal the information, number 12 Grimmauld Place would be invisible and inaccessible to outsiders.

The Muggle residents here are already used to the mistake of skipping directly from number 11 to number 13 on this street.

Voldemort knew this was the case all along, which is why she led the Death Eaters directly here.

Sirius Black was the Keeper of the Secret at 12 Grimmauld Place, and Regulus automatically regained his Keeper status after his resurrection.

Of course, neither of them would, nor had the opportunity to, tell Voldemort (Erkris) the address of her ancestral home.

But Voldemort's branch of the family still retains a note passed down from their ancestors.

The note had the address 12 Grimmauld Place written on it.

This note was secretly taken out by the first ancestor of Voldemort's lineage when he was kicked out of the Black family, and it was written by the secret agent of that generation.

Wizards who read this note will be able to see and enter the Black family ancestral home, unaffected by the Fidelity Curse.

Therefore, the image of the villa at number 12 Grimmauld Place is now reflected in Voldemort's red eyes.

She could directly storm in and deal with Sirius and Regulus, those two distant relatives.

Dudley, who had already thoroughly reviewed Eckeris's memories, knew this and thus devised a targeted ambush plan.

At this moment, the Aurors who had been lying in ambush around the area for more than half a month, as well as Sirius and Regulus inside the villa, were already getting impatient.
