Storming the Death Eaters' Lair

Harry held up one finger, without answering Hermione's question.

He dialed Draco's number and waited a moment before the call connected.

"Harry?" Draco's voice rang out. "What's wrong? We're on our way upstairs—we just ran into Peeves, really—"

"Okay, I understand," Harry replied. "Did you see the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw people?"

"They're behind us," Draco said. "That Loony Lovegood, and that twin-tailed Abe —oh wow, I never thought they'd get along."

"Fuck you, Malfoy," Neville said in a very vulgar tone, "Show some respect to Luna!"

"Yo yo yo! Little fat Longbottom!" Draco's cheeky voice rang out, "Didn't realize you were a knight, tsk tsk tsk---- Well, if you're unhappy, come and hit me!"

Neville clenched his fists, deciding to keep quiet for now and teach Malfoy a lesson when he saw him later.

"Okay, I'll hang up now."

Harry pressed the hang-up button, his expression turning serious.

"Please wait a moment in the back, let me see what's going on," he said.

When he was with Veratia, he and Veratia together gained control of the Room of Requirement.

It should be said that the ownership of this house belongs to him and Veratia, and he can kick the people inside out whenever he wants.

He walked to the entrance of the Room of Requirement, circled the painting three times, then picked up his wand and pointed it at the painting.

After reciting two incantations, the door to the Room of Requirement slowly appeared and then opened with a bang.

Amidst a gasp of surprise, two people were thrown out of there.

The man in the lead was a short, stout wizard who looked "swollen," with a face somewhat resembling a flat shovel; the witch behind him looked similar, her face resembling a jar.

Upon seeing the two men's appearance, Harry instantly flicked his wand, and two ropes wrapped around them like a persistent leech, binding them tightly.

"Name," Harry said succinctly.

"Ha!" the man with the ferocious-looking face in the lead scoffed.

Harry raised an eyebrow.

I was just asking your name, why are you breathing on me?

He didn't bother with pleasantries and went straight to using Legilimency.

"Legilimency!"

The Dark Wizard's mind was cleared in an instant, but Harry's Legilimency enhanced by Ancient Magic, so even Occlumency was no match for it.

After reading his memories, he learned that the Dark Wizard in front of him was named Amycus Carrow, and the person next to him was his sister, Alecto Carrow.

The two of them entered the Room of Requirement through something called the Vanishing Cabinet.

These are a pair of Vanishing Cabinet, one of which is in the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts, and the other is in Borgin and Burkes.

According to Carrow's memory, the Death Eater raided Borgin and Burkes and took the Vanishing Cabinet.

Since the Vanishing Cabinet leads to the Room of Requirement, could we then use the Vanishing Cabinet within the Room of Requirement to find the Death Eater?

"Today's activities are temporarily canceled," Harry said to Ron and the others, having come up with a brilliant idea. "I'll go and take those two Death Eater to Dumbledore. You guys go back to the Common Room —remember to inform the students in the other three houses, especially Luna Neville; you must get them."

At this time, Harry hadn't forgotten his best friend's important life event, and encouraged him to interact with his sweetheart.

He's a really good older brother.

Neville left happily, Hermione asked with some concern, "Do you need our help, Harry?"

"No need," Harry smiled and said. "You guys go back first. It's not safe here. I need Dumbledore to do a thorough search of the school—looks like you might be sleeping in the Great Hall again tonight."

After saying that, Harry waved to them and used his wand to lead the Carrow siblings toward Dumbledore's Headmaster's Office.

After giving the command to the Waterspout Gargoyle, it jumped aside, making way for Harry.

Dumbledore seemed surprised by Harry's arrival. He glanced at the two people floating behind Harry and immediately became alert.

"Those two are Death Eater," Harry said.

"I know, I know."

Dumbledore -shaped spectacles flashed. "Amycus Carrow, and Alecto Carrow, who studied in Slytherin, became extremely superstitious about Pure-blood principles and joined the Death Eater —I'm not surprised by that."

"Oh, they're all old acquaintances." Harry nodded as if he understood. "I've discovered that Slytherin really does produce talents like these, hasn't it?"

"Hey! Kid!" Amycus Carrow snapped angrily, "You have a problem with Slytherin?"

"Oh, no, not at all." Harry said politely to Amycus, "All three of my girlfriends are from Slytherin. I have no problem with the house itself, I just have a problem with that good-for-nothing orphan Tom— oh, you know, the Voldemort you all follow. You didn't know, did you? Tom Riddle, Voldemort —he's actually a Half-blood wizard."

The Carrow siblings suddenly fell silent.

Clearly, they seem to know about this?

But Harry didn't care whether they knew or not.

Killing someone by destroying their spirit is enough.

He now particularly enjoys verbal attacks, which triggers a surge in dopamine levels.

After all, he could defeat most people in magic, but he was still slightly inferior in language.

The fiercely competitive Harry decided to make up for this weakness—at least when facing Death Eater and Voldemort, Harry had to make sure they could accurately break through his defenses.

"Alright, what I want to know is—" Dumbledore adjusted his glasses—not the black-rimmed kind, "6

How did you manage to capture them both?

"They got to the Room of Requirement through the Vanishing Cabinet," Harry said succinctly. "One is in the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts, and the other is in Borgin and Burkes; the two cabinets are connected."

Dumbledore immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. His expression was grave. "Alright, I understand. It'll be another nap in the Great Hall today—I'll go assign tasks now. As for these two—keep them here for now. You'll notify Sirius to come and get them, right?"

"It's Minister Black," Harry said with a smile.

"Haha." Dumbledore stroked his beard and laughed. "Alright, the password is 'Tongue-Tying Toffee,' remember to tell him."

"Why would you set such a password?" Harry asked in surprise—this was a prank candy from the Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, how could Dumbledore have set it as a password?

"Oh," Dumbledore winked at Harry, "Because Gellert gave me a piece the other day, and it certainly didn't taste bad, though it would make your tongue swell."

"By the way, Professor," Harry asked again, "Do you think it's necessary for the students to rest in the Great Hall? If the Death Eater come in, they shouldn't barge into the Common Room, right?"

"It's hard to say," Dumbledore sighed. "They might not be able to enter Gryffindor Common Room with Sphinx guarding it, but anyone with a little cleverness can enter Ravenclaw's Common Room. As for Slytherin Common Room, it's even less guarded for them; the password has been the same few words changed over the years—"

"And what about Hufflepuff?" Harry asked.

"Oh, what are they doing in the Hufflepuff Common Room?" Dumbledore asked gently. "Nobody knows how they get into the Hufflepuff Common Room, because Helga's magic can identify anyone who isn't Hufflepuff."

Is it true or false?

Harry found it very strange, because he had been to Hufflepuff's Common Room more than once a hundred years ago, and Pabbie had always taken him there.

The Hufflepuff are actually very enthusiastic. Every time Harry goes there, he always receives a lot of food from Hufflepuff, which leads him to have an unbelievable positive view of the house.

Dinner's almost ready, family!

"It seems that's indeed the case?" Harry nodded hesitantly.

"Alright, all four houses need to go to the Great Hall," Dumbledore continued. "You wait here for a bit; Sirius will send someone over. I need to get this done quickly, because the later we are, the more dangerous it becomes, doesn't it?"

After saying that, Dumbledore waved to Harry and left the Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts.

After Harry saw Dumbledore off, he took out his phone and dialed Sirius.

Clearly, his call came at an inopportune time, because his Godfather was disheveled—or rather, shirtless.

The holographic projection flashed by in an instant, and Sirius immediately turned it off.

"What's wrong, Harry?" Sirius asked, a little out of breath.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"I'm going for a run," Sirius said. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Harry, without suspicion, said to Sirius, "Two Death Eater have joined Hogwarts, named Amycus Carrow and Alecto Carrow. They're in the Headmaster's Office right now. Send someone over to pick them up and give them Azkaban —the password to the Headmaster's Office is 'Tongue-Tying Toffee.'"

"Okay, I understand."

After saying that, Sirius hung up the phone.

Harry waited in the office for more than ten minutes before Mr. Weasley entered the Headmaster's Office, followed by Lupin and Tonks.

"Hi," Harry greeted the three of them, "It's nice to see you all."

Upon seeing Harry, the three of them greeted him, especially Mr. Weasley, who smiled very kindly.

"Hello, Harry," Lupin said with a gentle smile, then looked at the two siblings lying on the floor like dead dogs and asked curiously, "These are the two Death Eater? They look quite different from when they were in school—"

"Do you know them?" Harry asked curiously.

"Oh, of course I know them," Lupin said with a chuckle. "These two were the people your father bullied most besides Snape —of course, I didn't mind disciplining them either, because a significant portion of Slytherin back then were quite annoying."

"Shut up, Lupin!" Amycus Carrow roared angrily.

"Look, still so aggressive." Lupin helplessly spread his hands. "How did you catch him?"

Harry recounted the Vanishing Cabinet in detail, Lupin immediately frowned.

"I understand," Lupin nodded, then looked at Mr. Weasley. "Alright, Arthur, let's take these two back to the Ministry of Magic for questioning. As for Harry —you can go back now."

"Okay," Harry said obediently.

After they left, Harry also left the Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts.

As soon as he left, the Headmaster in the Headmaster's Office started chatting.

"Believe it or not," Phineas said, head held high and smug, "That Harry won't let this go. I suspect he's up to something. Just guess what? Maybe he'll use that Vanishing Cabinet to get to the Death Eater' lair?"

"Is that even a question?" Headmaster Fitzgerald rolled his eyes. "Everyone knows he's a Gryffindor. Gryffindor are all fearless little wizards; he'll definitely go."

The vast majority of Headmaster agree with this view, and Harry himself also agrees—he demonstrates this through his actions.

He walked to the Room of Requirement Room of Requirement, first using a detection spell to confirm that there was no hostile presence inside, and then stepped inside.

The Vanishing Cabinet stood alone in its place. Harry walked over, examined it, then opened the cabinet door and cast a protective Charms on himself.

He tightened his grip on his wand and went into the cabinet.

Unlike the fireplace journey, the Vanishing Cabinet didn't give him that dizzying feeling, perhaps because Harry's magic was now so abundant that he didn't experience any discomfort.

The moment the cabinet door was opened, a putrid atmosphere, accompanied by an indescribable stench, rushed out.

It doesn't smell good at all.

It seemed to be in a basement somewhere, definitely not a respectable place.

As soon as he opened the cabinet door, two people came to greet him.

"Amycus, you have accomplished something----"

However, what awaited him was a scarlet curse.

Cruciatus Curse!

Unlike the casual chanting of the incantation, a crimson light suddenly shone, and the two Death Eater instantly curled up into twitching shrimp.

Their screams echoed through the cellar, but Harry simply knocked them unconscious with a spell and tied them up before continuing on his way.

"Someone broke in"

A flash of silver light, and the woman who had shouted suddenly froze, her pupils reflecting the small silver snake emerging from her ear canal.

"So noisy." Harry said expressionlessly. Suddenly, the snake grew larger and swallowed the woman whole.
