The Sacred Twenty-Eight
As the saying goes, you're eating hotpot and singing songs when you get robbed...
William, who was forced to travel to this world because of a robbery, naturally detested such uncouth behavior.
In the United Kingdom, the only ones bold enough to attack the Hogwarts Express, besides the female Thunderbird from four years ago, are the Death Eaters.
And indeed, Avery stood by the tracks, watching the approaching train, and nervously swallowed.
That's right, he was the person in charge of this Operation Eagle Killing ".
Avery never expected that he would get this opportunity.
It's worth noting that he and Malfoy worked together last year to develop the Department of Mysteries plan, which ultimately failed.
Fortunately, Malfoy was captured, took the blame for his poor performance, and attracted his master's wrath.
Even his wife was called out by the Dark Lord and punished for almost half an hour.
Good bro, you're burning yourself out to save others.
Avery also benefited from this, and was not punished too severely, but his status was not as high as before.
He thought he was going to be completely marginalized, but unexpectedly, the Dark Lord suddenly found him today and wanted to give him a top-secret mission.
That was an attack on the Hogwarts Express!
Avery was initially quite desperate when he heard about this mission.
He felt that the Dark Lord was indirectly forcing him... to die!
After all, attacking the Hogwarts train would mean facing the Stark head-on, and Dumbledore could arrive as reinforcements at any moment.
But the Dark Lord told him earnestly:
This plan was top secret; no one knew about it beforehand.
Voldemort had already realized that there was a spy among his men.
For example, the Department of Mysteries's plan was clearly leaked.
He even suspected Malfoy, thinking that Old Ma's capture might have been intentional.
This old fox is playing a double game with Stark, betting on both sides.
This is also why the Dark Lord had Draco assassinate "Smith" and attack "Dragon".
To ensure the plan's success, Voldemort only found Avery an hour before the operation began.
The main fighting force is not wizards, but an army of Muggle Inferi, Dementor, and...
Newly added combat forces – Troll and Orc.
The Inferi needless to say, they are all inanimate objects; Dementor are also a group of dark creatures, who in their early years colluded with Voldemort.
Having betrayed the Ministry of Magic, they couldn't possibly be spies.
Troll and Orc are mindless creatures; surely they won't leak the secret this time?
Before leaving, Voldemort held Avery's hand and earnestly told him:
"I will keep Dumbledore occupied and prevent him from showing up. You will only have the Stark to face."
I await your good news: bring the entire train... to me!
Recalling his master's instructions, Avery was still somewhat apprehensive.
They were truly terrified of Stark, and it left them with psychological trauma.
But this time is different... No information has leaked; the army is numerous; Stark also has to protect a group of students...
With the advantage in my hands, if I don't gamble, I'm sure I'll win!

Avery stood on the rails, feeling the ground tremble and hearing the distant "whoosh whoosh whoosh" of the train whistle.
At the edge of the field of vision, the black dot could be vaguely seen speeding towards them, then slowly approaching.
Avery remained silent, waiting for the great battle to erupt.
A young Death Eaters beside me had dilated pupils, his expression a mixture of tension and excitement.
He began by asking, "Avery, we outnumber them."
In your opinion, how many Orc and Troll would we need to kill Stark if we were to hold him off?
Avery looked at the young man who was about to kill Stark and rolled his eyes.
Are you serious about this question, not joking?
Mecca Nott nodded seriously and said, "I'm not kidding."
Avery curled his lip and said sarcastically:
"Neither Giant nor dragon armies could kill him, nor could his master... Stark is different."
"And how effective are these stupid Troll and Orc that your family trains?"
Some Pure-blood families have even existed for thousands of years.
Over the years, they haven't just focused on maintaining their bloodline or accumulating vast wealth... they've also been running special family businesses.
For example, the MacFusty family has been training black dragons from the Hebrides.
The Nott Family, on the other hand, retreated to the Argan Peninsula, where they tamed a large number of Troll.
And the Troll, hybrids of Orc and humans.
They even provide Troll as security guards.
Some of Gringotts' vaults have this type of guard.
Therefore, Nott, who brought so much combat power, scoffed:
"Stark is Mudblood, isn't he? He's not even Half-blood, let alone Pure-blood..."
Avery chuckled and said, "What's wrong with Mudblood and Half-blood? Dumbledore wasn't Pure-blood either, he was Half-blood wizard..."
Does it affect their strength?
Avery actually wanted to say:
The Dark Lord himself wasn't Pure-blood; his father was just a Mudblood. Didn't that still make the Nott Family submit?
However, he didn't say it aloud.
Because the Nott Family before us are true Pure-blood fanatics.
His grandfather, Cantankerus Nott, compiled the famous Pure-Blood Directory in the 1930s.
It was this book that first introduced the concept of "twenty-eight truly Pure-blood family surnames".
That's right, the Twenty-Eight Pure-blood families are actually a modern invention... yet ridiculously, many Pure-blood wizard keep mentioning them to prove how glorious their surnames are.
The Nott Family, who created this concept, were true extremists.
During this August, Voldemort wasn't idle; he was in contact with the Nott Family to replenish the Werewolf army's losses.
Seeing Nott's disdain for Stark, Avery, who habitually sabotaged his teammates, urged:
"If you can kill Stark, you will receive the Dark Lord's greatest reward."
It might tell you the secret to immortality.
Nott revealed a hint of fanaticism.
Avery didn't tell Nott that although the operation's codename included the character for eagle, it actually had nothing to do with the Stark.
The Dark Lord had no intention of killing Stark; his true strategic objective was Slughorn.
Avery was certainly familiar with Slughorn, who was his Yao Lao back in the day.
He retired after the First Wizarding War, and I never expected he'd still be alive.
Before leaving, Voldemort repeatedly instructed that while stalling Stark, they must capture this person.
Even if we can't catch him, we must make sure Slughorn never dares to stay at school again.
While Avery was pondering, Nott had already begun to Gulugulu in the Troll Language toward his army.
"You know nothing of pain or fear, only the deliciousness of killing!"
All the wizards on the carriage were to be killed without mercy... especially one of them— Stark.
"Ora!"
"Ora!"
