For Ellie, life in Hogwarts is very peaceful and stable. It turns out that as long as you don't pay attention to what is happening with Harry Potter, it is just an ordinary campus life.
It wasn't until one morning when Ellie got the Daily Prophet and saw that Fudge admitted that Voldemort had returned that she realized that things were still going on according to the plot... Well, that was enough.
In fact, when she saw Harry's lifeless face, Ellie knew that Sirius was dead just like the plot.
But she did not go to comfort Harry. She let Snape do that. She also had important things to do.
For example, meeting the Prime Minister.
"This is getting pretty messed up, Jones."
When Ellie saw the Prime Minister, it was already late at night. He paced back and forth angrily, looking restless, and slapped the newspaper in his hand.
"Just now Fudge came and told me that these were all caused by the fights between wizards. The bridge collapsed, there were hurricanes, and vicious murders. These were all done by wizards, but now people are putting the blame on me! Did you see what the Times said?! They actually said that the government did not invest enough in bridge construction, so the bridge collapsed! And some people even said that it was because the police were understaffed that vicious murders occurred! This is simply outrageous! Outrageous!"
"So I told you, sir, we need a more effective way to control the wizarding world."
Mr. Jones, who was standing next to Ellie, coughed, and the Prime Minister frowned, then nodded.
"It seems that this is the only way... Miss, are you sure she..."
"Of course, sir, this is our trump card."
Jones nodded to Ellie, who stepped forward and saluted quietly to the Prime Minister.
"That's not funny at all, Jones."
The Prime Minister looked at Jones with a bitter face.
"You're not going to tell me you're going to let a little girl handle this."
"She is no ordinary child, Prime Minister...if you talk to her, you will understand."
So the Prime Minister spent an hour talking to the girl named Ellie. For the Prime Minister, this was a more comfortable and enjoyable conversation than the one with the man who called himself Fudge. In front of the man who called himself the Minister of Magic, the Prime Minister always felt like a child who knew nothing, which made him very uncomfortable.
But in front of Ellie, the Prime Minister seemed very relaxed. Although he felt uncomfortable talking to a child at first, he was soon attracted by the content of Ellie's conversation. Unlike Fudge, Ellie introduced the current situation of the wizarding world to the Prime Minister in detail and clearly, and explained some terms and the current situation and circumstances to him.
After listening to Ellie's story and the Daily Prophet and records she took out, the Prime Minister finally made a decision.
"Then I leave this matter to you, Jones."
"Yes, Prime Minister."
In Ellie's opinion, this decision was the final nail in the coffin of the wizarding world.
Fudge never understood that the Prime Minister was also responsible. He didn't know that you couldn't just solve the problem of wizards fighting and affecting Muggles. In fact, she had expected that the Prime Minister would definitely support her proposal. The reason was simple. As the Prime Minister had said before, in order to cover up the traces of wizards, Fudge and other people in the Ministry of Magic processed those battle scenes to make them look like natural disasters or ordinary disasters.
But this has a very adverse impact on the Prime Minister himself. The opposition will seize these opportunities to criticize his policies and try to reduce his support rate. Can Fudge solve these problems?
Of course he couldn't solve it. In fact, Fudge was just like other wizards. They didn't care about the problems of Muggles at all. It seemed that in their eyes, the wizarding world and the Muggle world were two completely different worlds. But unfortunately, this was not the case. Everything they did would have a response in the real world, just like now.
You see, the wizards created the problem, but they didn’t solve it, and they let completely unrelated people take the blame - the Prime Minister hated these damn bastards. It was obviously them who caused the storm and destroyed the bridge, but they had to answer questions about the bridge interface and cutting corners in the parliamentary questioning...
The Prime Minister now also wants to kill these wizards.
And now, the other party has provided him with a great opportunity to intervene.
The little girl in front of him said that the wizarding world was facing an unprecedented threat - the Prime Minister had also heard this from the Minister of Magic, and more importantly, the enemy's target was not just wizards, their ultimate goal was to rule the country and all mortals. In short, this was actually a large-scale terrorist attack in the wizarding world, so as long as it was treated as such, the Prime Minister would be able to immediately return to the field he was good at.
After all, he might not understand how these wizards turned a cup into a hamster, but political matters were pretty much the same regardless of class.
The large-scale mobilization of the Muggle community would not attract the attention of the wizards. They did not even know what the Muggles were doing. Of course, Ellie did not expect them to understand the significance of the garrison redeployment. At the Prime Minister's suggestion, the Ministry of Defense had begun to assemble under the guise of "military anti-terrorism performance", waiting for the opportunity to come - it would not be too long.
Ellie knew this very well.
This year's Hogwarts feels quieter than in previous years, not because of the decrease in the number of students, but more because of Voldemort's resurrection and the reappearance of the Death Eaters. People are terrified, and so are the students in the school. By the way, because Voldemort's resurrection became a fact, Fudge stepped down, and Umbridge disappeared without a trace on the same day. So the Care of Magical Creatures class lost its teacher again...
Now some students have begun to spread the rumor that the curse was moved from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to the Care of Magical Creatures class because Ellie was too powerful and the curse had no effect on her, so she chose other courses... Well, of course, this is just a rumor.
The atmosphere in the school became increasingly tense, but nothing changed for Ellie. She just lurked and waited silently.
Until this day, Dumbledore took Harry Potter away from Hogwarts.
Ellie knew what they were going to do, they wanted to destroy the Horcrux, they found the location of a Horcrux, but tonight, Malfoy would repair the Vanishing Cabinet, and then let a group of Death Eaters sneak into the school, and then they would kill Dumbledore.
Just like now.
She watched the Death Eaters surround Dumbledore standing on the tower. They grinned like stupid wild dogs. But this didn't change anything. They waved their wands and signaled Malfoy to take action. According to the original book, Snape appeared and killed Dumbledore.
That's what should be done in theory.
But now Dumbledore is no longer a threat.
Thinking of this, Ellie narrowed her eyes, moved close to the sniper scope, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!!!"
The head of one of the women waving a wand exploded, and her headless body swayed comically a few times before falling to the ground.
That's Bellatrix Black, the murderer of Sirius in the original book, and now she is dead.
Then Ellie pulled the bolt again, aimed at another target, and pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!!"
As gunshots rang out, blood suddenly burst out from the chest of a big blond man. He raised his wand in horror, wanting to do something, but he could do nothing... Soon, his head exploded like a balloon and shattered into pieces.
The remaining Death Eaters looked panicked and frightened. Ellie saw them waving their wands in the air, as if they were trying to find something, but unfortunately they couldn't find anything. If they were attacked in other places, they could use Apparition to escape, but unfortunately they came to Hogwarts, where Apparition was strictly prohibited. So except for circling around the tower, trying to find out who killed them, these idiots didn't drop anything.
Judging from their expressions, they might have thought that someone was hiding in the tower and then used some kind of magic spell to blow their heads off.
Unfortunately, the wizard didn't seem to have learned how to deal with large-caliber sniper rifles.
So when another one of them did not choose to hide, but instead stuck his head out and looked out, trying to find the target, Ellie pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!!"
The third Death Eater fell, and the others seemed to finally come to their senses. They called for their brooms and hurriedly flew out of the tower on their brooms. But this did not stop Ellie's attack. She aimed again and smashed another Death Eater on a broom into pieces.
The remaining two seemed to have escaped the range of Hogwarts' barrier. They Apparated instantly and then disappeared from Ellie's sight.
It was not until this time that Ellie put down the large-caliber sniper rifle in her hand, then sat on the broom and leisurely came to the top of the tower.
There, Dumbledore was slumped on the ground. Looking at Ellie's appearance, he gave a helpless bitter smile.
"I really didn't expect you to help, Miss Ellie."
"I thought about it. You only have one year left to live anyway."
Ellie looked at Dumbledore.
"I'm afraid I won't be willing to die without letting you see what the wizarding world will become."
"Really? Actually, I don't really want to see that scene."
Dumbledore closed his eyes tiredly.
"Sorry, I think I need to take a break."
"I think so..."
“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”
However, before Ellie could finish her words, there was a thunderous sound outside. Ellie and Dumbledore turned around and saw that above Hogwarts School, thick dark clouds began to twist and condense, and in an instant turned into an ugly mark.
"Dark Mark, it seems Voldemort is more eager than we thought."
Ellie blinked and soon understood what was going on. In the original book, Voldemort attacked Hogwarts only after Dumbledore's death. But the situation was different now. His men were unable to kill Dumbledore, and Voldemort must have heard from his men that Dumbledore was abnormally weak at the moment, so he planned to take the opportunity to attack Hogwarts and bring the decisive battle forward.
After all, Voldemort didn't know that Dumbledore only had one year to live. In Voldemort's view, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
But that’s okay, Ellie doesn’t want to waste time.
Voldemort was so bold, perhaps because he had successfully mastered a Horcrux, or perhaps because he felt that he could make a comeback again?
Anyway...the other party made a decision.
Thinking of this, Ellie narrowed her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
Then he will have to pay the price for this decision.
