Chapter 556: “Death Eater’s Invasion”
Midnight had descended, and after a day brimming with excitent, exhaustion gradually claid all the wizards.
Many of the foreign wizards had already departed, courtesy of Portkeys provided by the Ministry of Magic at the carnivals conclusion.
Although wizards societal structure differed from Muggless, the essence was fundantally similar.
Adult wizards held down adult responsibilities and had to earn a living to provide for their families.
Younger wizards had their own commitnts and needed to make arrangents for the start of the new school year.
It was simply not feasible for them to remain at the camp indefinitely.
By midnight, those who remained in the camp were primarily British wizards, as most could Apparate to work co the following morning.
This included many Aurors and Ministry of Magic employees who had wrapped up their duties early due to the tournants conclusion and the departure of foreign wizards.
A few Ministry staff mbers remained in the camp overnight to attend to the final details of the event.
In the Weasleys tent, it was a similar scenario.
The majority had already retired to the comforts of their luxurious rooms, drifting into peaceful slumber.
However, Jerry was not among them. He understood that this night wouldnt pass so serenely.
While Voldemort had been vanquished long ago, there remained a lingering threat of mischief, particularly from Death Eaters like Malfoy, those who were not unwaveringly loyal to the Dark Lord.
In the wake of most of the Ministrys personnel departing the camp in high spirits, the Death Eaters aid to make their presence known.
They didnt intend to prove their allegiance to Voldemort; instead, they sought to capture Muggles, subjecting them to torture.
Their objective was to remind the entire wizarding world that despite Voldemorts absence, pure-blood supporters endured.
This behavior paralleled Muggle demonstrations and protests, albeit considerably more radical and cruel in nature.
Jerry sensed the magic fluctuations outside, signifying the beginning of the Death Eaters activities under Malfoys lead.
Knowing that the night wouldnt remain peaceful, he exclaid to himself, As expected, theyve arrived.
Suddenly, Arthurs voice sounded from the hallway, rousing Harry, Ron, Jerry, and the others from their beds.
They rushed to the door, pushed it open, and stepped into the hallway, anxious to understand the situation outside.
Harry, rubbing his eyes from the next room, inquired, Whats going on? Whats happening out there?
I dont have ti to explain. Get dressed and gather your essentials, Arthur urged anxiously.
In a flurry, everyone hastily packed their belongings under the watchful eyes of Arthur, Charlie, and Bill.
Together, they exited the magic tent.
Outside, chaos reigned. The vicinity of their tents was illuminated by flas and punctuated with screams.
A group of masked and cloaked wizards had appeared nearby, so of whom were sending forth magical flas, setting the magic tents ablaze.
Another faction had captured Muggle villagers from neighboring villages, suspending them in mid-air with magic, then flipping their bodies up and down, eliciting terrified screams for their own amusent.
Several young won in pajamas were dumped, causing their attire to hang down and reveal colorful undergarnts.
When a person dons a mask, their true nature often erges, Jerry remarked, recognizing that one of the wizards laughing at the Muggle won was Lucius Malfoy, a figure typically known for his elegance.
We need to assist the Ministry of Magic in restoring order. You should hide in the woods over there. When were finished, well co find you, Arthur directed Bill and Charlie, who were ready with their wands, to accompany Jerry and the others.
The masked individuals ahead were evidently no ordinary opponents.
A few Ministry of Magic personnel who had stayed behind to intervene had been brought down swiftly.
The dire situation was causing panic.
Presently, it was akin to a grand party suddenly disrupted by ard assailants, and several of the policen who attempted to intervene were incapacitated.
In such circumstances, even with greater numbers, ordinary individuals would be frightened and disoriented.
The remaining Ministry of Magic mbers focused on maintaining order, evacuating the ordinary wizards, awaiting reinforcents, and then confronting the masked dark wizards to rescue the unfortunate Muggles.
Sir, perhaps I can be of assistance, Jerry suggested.
Witnessing the chaos, he conjured a ring of fire over ten ters high, with the opposite side of the flas revealing Diagon Alley in London.
The woods over there might not be safe. Everyone, make your way to Diagon Alley to find refuge!
Arthur and the others were struck by awe as they beheld the vast portal Jerry had conjured.
They knew that Jerry had the ability to create portals, having seen him utilize one to send Daily Prophet reporter Rita to the African savannah.
However, the sheer size of this portal exceeded their expectations.
Can this portal truly be opened this large? Arthur inquired, his astonishnt evident.
Arthur and the others gaped in sheer astonishnt as they beheld the colossal portal Jerry had conjured.
While they were aware of Jerrys ability to create portals, they were taken aback by the sheer magnitude of the one he had produced.
Hermione had attested to his capacity to manifest portals, and they had witnessed him employ this magic to send Daily Prophet reporter Rita to the African savannah.
In truth, they had not anticipated the sheer grandeur of Jerrys portal.
Arthur, realizing that now was not the ti for amazent, acted swiftly.
He casted a Sonorus on himself and urgently addressed the disoriented wizards who were scurrying about in panic.
Listen, everyone, Im Arthur Weasley from the Ministry of Magic, and Mr. Jerry Carn has opened a portal to Diagon Alley. I implore you all to evacuate through it!
Understanding that the urgency of the situation overshadowed any astonishnt, Arthur called out to the panicked wizards who had been rushing about.
Understanding that the situation did not allow for amazent, Arthur quickly enchanted himself with a loudspeaker spell and then began directing the bewildered and panicked wizards.
In the camp, a few Ministry of Magic employees were on standby.
Nonetheless, Arthur was a well-known figure at the Ministry, an experienced worker, and a mber of the esteed Weasley family. Additionally, he was the author of the Muggle Protection Act, adding to his renown.
Upon revealing his identity, the disoriented wizards who had been scurrying about instinctively halted their movents.
They grasped the situation as Arthur narrated their situation and emphasized Jerrys involvent and the commotion in the wizarding world.
They rushed towards the monuntal portal, its other end revealing the familiar Diagon Alley.
The portals imnse size and the na of Jerry Carn, the days victorious champion, confird their salvation.
Several wizards had already apparated to safety when the masked individuals first appeared.
Those who remained had varying reasons, including a lack of proficiency in Apparating due to poor school grades at the ti and a commitnt to ensuring their families safety.
Jerrys portal was a ga-changer.
It allowed him to transport all the wizards present to a secure location.
This was a feat that no other magical spell in the contemporary wizarding world could replicate.
