Chapter 1583 A War Without Winners (Thirty-three)
As the night deepened, the abandoned shelter was lit up again. Nelson Tobin, who was carrying a midnight snack bought from a Muggle store, was walking up the stairs towards the lighted room. He could faintly hear the noise coming from the room.
As soon as he entered the room, Nelson put down the midnight snack, greeted the two girls who were playing wizard chess at the door, and then stretched his head to the people who were enjoying a rare peaceful night life inside and shouted: "Does anyone want a midnight snack?"
The next moment, the noise in the room stagnated, and a large group of people rushed over here, sweeping away the fried chicken and French fries that had just been bought from the store and were still steaming hot.
"Here!"
Susan Bones placed a glass of butter beer in front of Nelson.
Nelson took the cup, drank most of it in one breath, and asked curiously, "Where did it come from?"
"There are still a lot of things left here, and they were thrown directly into the shelter. It's a bargain for us." Susan hesitated for a moment, but decided to talk to Nelson about something unpleasant that happened a few days ago before things got worse.
"Oh, it seems that we are lucky. Another cup." Nelson handed over his cup, smiled and asked, "Just tell me if you have anything to say!"
Susan took a deep breath and said, "You shouldn't have taken the risk last time!"
The people who were enjoying the midnight snack swallowed the food in their mouths and turned their heads to look over here.
The room suddenly became terribly quiet, with only Lee Jordan's voice still coming from the radio on the table.
"You sound like you can let go of hatred."
Nelson Tobin took another sip of butterbeer and talked about the two major events that happened a few days ago without hesitation.
That's right, whether it was burning down Kingsley's house or taking revenge on the poor Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, they did it.
As for why?
Naturally, it was because Kingsley disappointed everyone.
Since the news that Dolores Umbridge was sentenced to life imprisonment spread, many former victims were directly broken.
Especially the victims who had been to Azkaban Prison and whose families were destroyed by Umbridge's policies.
So, they decided to use a more radical way to solve the problem.
After a simple connection, a secret alliance was formed.
To be honest, many people didn't think it would be so extreme. Although they had hatred in their hearts, they still hoped that Kingsley could help them get revenge, but the result of the Wizengamot Court's trial of Umbridge made most people completely abandon unrealistic fantasies.
Since Kingsley can no longer be counted on, they can only rely on themselves.
It just so happened that the former shelter had been completely abandoned, but it could still be used as a base for everyone to gather, and no one would suspect it.
Because they were originally living here temporarily, but they had not had time to move out, they could easily solve many problems.
Moreover, since the end of the wizard war, there are no other outsiders here except those who still hold hatred.
"No, they can probably guess who did it. You are the number one suspect." Susan Bones kindly reminded.
"When Kingsley's house was burned, I was training at Hogwarts. What happened during the attack, aren't we discussing here who did it?" Nelson Tobin had already made an alibi for himself. Since participating in the Battle of Hogwarts, as Albert expected, people are no longer as weak as before.
After all, they are all people who have walked through the line of life and death.
"Do you think this can convince others? Sometimes suspicion does not need evidence."
"At worst, push me out to attract firepower."
Nelson Tobin was mentally prepared, and he was not worried that his comrades who signed the unbreakable curse would stab him in the back.
"How do you plan to deal with Umbridge?"
"If that guy really survives by chance, find an opportunity to attack Azkaban and clean up everyone inside. Anyway, everyone imprisoned inside deserves to die." Nelson Tobin said the most cruel words in the calmest voice.
It is not difficult for them to bloodbath Azkaban.
After all, if they infiltrate their own people into the Aurors, with various intelligence support and the cooperation of internal personnel, they can quietly invade Azkaban without Dementors protection with just a little trick.
The girl who was playing wizard chess at the door suddenly said, "I suggest you stay quiet for a while. The last two things have caused a lot of trouble. If you continue, you will definitely be targeted. Don't treat others as fools."
"I think Hannah is right. We'd better stay quiet for a while. I believe Kingsley will not be so stupid as to go against everyone." Susan Bones said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe that guy plans to use us to get rid of those annoying guys."
"Ahem, then I'll report the situation here!" Thomas looked at his colleagues who were playing exploding cards, "Do you think they will believe it?"
"I probably won't believe it completely, but there is no evidence that Nelson Tobin did it." Neville Longbottom is also here. Although he will not participate in any action, he is also happy to provide them with some useful information.
Yes, many people here will not participate in revenge, but it does not mean that they can't do something.
After all, those who can come here have a blood feud with the Death Eaters. Even if they can let go of this hatred, it does not mean that they are willing to see those damn Death Eaters lingering under the protection of the Ministry of Magic.
Especially when the opportunity for revenge is right in front of them, and there is no need to take risks personally, no one will be willing to miss such a good opportunity.
"What does the Defense Association say?"
"It would be great if Mr. Anderson was willing to support us."
"I advise you not to daydream. Although Mr. Anderson also supports killing Umbridge, he is unlikely to support us. At most, he will not oppose or interfere."
"But I heard from Harry and Ron that Mr. Anderson's title of senior advisor is just a title. He himself is not interested in giving advice to Kingsley."
"It's expected, isn't it?"
"Such a result is indeed not surprising."
"What if someone asks him to divine our news?"
"He won't help. As long as we don't affect unrelated people, he won't interfere in this matter."
Nelson Tobin probably noticed the surprised expressions of the people around him, and explained calmly: "I talked to him about this a long time ago."
"Mr. Anderson actually agreed!" Neville was very surprised.
"He said he didn't hear it." Nelson Tobin said self-deprecatingly: "After all, everyone here today has the desire to take revenge on Umbridge and the Death Eaters."
"He won't stop us at all, and he's even happy for us to do that. After all, he has his own family, and he probably hopes that all those guys will die."
Everyone present exchanged glances with each other. They suspected that Nelson Tobin was saying that they had received funding or help from Anderson. Although they had no evidence, Nelson was able to gather everyone together the day after Dolores Umbridge's trial, and warned Kingsley in that way. It didn't seem like a whim, but more like a long-planned plan.
