Hogwarts: Don't call me the Staff Maker

Chapter 778 The Real Attack

Malfoy had long suspected that Cyren wouldn't let Crabbe and Goyle go, so when Cyren asked him for the password to the Slytherin common room, he wasn't surprised at all; in fact, he was already prepared.

"When are you planning to make your move?" he asked.

"Why do I feel like you're more anxious than I am?" Celen looked at Malfoy thoughtfully. "They were your followers before, weren't they? Don't you have any feelings for them at all?"

Malfoy remained silent for a moment before letting out a self-deprecating laugh.

"They are the best Death Eaters, and Death Eaters don't need emotions—when are you going to make your move?"

"soon."

"How can I help you?"

"Go and inform on them."

"Okay—wait, what did you say?" Malfoy suddenly paused, looking at Siron who had walked to the door with a puzzled expression.

"What did you just ask me to do?"

"Go and inform on them," Siren chuckled. "Go find Alecto Caro and tell her someone is planning to attack Crabbe and Goyle tonight."

"I'm not joking with you, Ollivander." Malfoy's face darkened. "You don't need to test me. Since I've agreed to help you, I won't—"

"You've misunderstood," Siren shook his head, interrupting him. "Draco, of course I don't doubt you, but I do need you to inform on me."

Why?

"To put Carlo on his guard."

Malfoy looked even more puzzled. He couldn't understand why his act of informing on Alectocarlo would make him lower his guard.

Normally, this would make Alecto more cautious, right?

Siren didn't explain, but added, "Oh right, remember not to say that person was me, just say it was a Gryffindor with a strong sense of justice."

Although Malfoy still didn't understand, seeing that Siren looked serious, he didn't ask any more questions and watched Siren leave the baptismal chamber.

After class, there were noticeably more people in the corridor, but no one, including the professor, noticed that a black cat was perched on a pillar above their heads.

Afterwards, Siron returned to the Room of Requirement and stayed there until most of the students had finished dinner before coming outside again.

Meanwhile, Malfoy also found Alecto Caro as agreed and told her that he had overheard Gryffindors plotting to teach Crabbe and Goyle a lesson.

"They somehow got hold of the password to the Slytherin common room, as well as a bottle of Polyjuice Potion."

Malfoy's voice carried a hint of nervousness.

"They also said that even if they were discovered, it wouldn't matter, as long as they returned to Gryffindor Tower before the Polyjuice Potion wore off, we wouldn't find any evidence."

"What a bunch of brainless idiots," Alecto Caro sneered. "Evidence—"

"Ha, only fools like McGonagall and Flitwick need evidence."

"Well done." She glanced at Malfoy indifferently, her face expressionless, but a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, as if she were looking at a house-elf destined to be killed.

"If your information is true, perhaps I can put in a good word for you with the Dark Lord—then you can die a quicker death."

Malfoy lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and his shoulders trembled incessantly.

But Alecto Caro walked past him nonchalantly, not even bothering to glance at him.

"Get out of the way, don't block the way."

Alecto Caro walked out of the office, but a moment later he immediately returned and called back Malfoy, who was also about to leave.

"You stay here and don't move. If I find out you're lying, you're dead!"

Malfoy abruptly raised his head, his eyes filled with humiliation.

Alecto Carona's icy tone was as if he were instructing a house-elf.

But he couldn't refuse at all, and could only stand there stiffly, watching the other person close the door and leave.

Alecto Caro left her office and turned to walk down the stairs. She was now heading to the Slytherin common room to wait for the Gryffindors to walk right into her trap.

Once she catches those hot-blooded fools, she can directly threaten McGonagall, who has always been against her. The thought is quite exciting.

Alecto Caro quickened his pace instinctively and arrived at the basement where the Slytherin common room was located in just a few minutes.

Crabbe and Gore were eating their takeout pancakes and cakes in the common room, their mouths covered in crumbs, showing no signs of having been attacked.

Clearly, the Gryffindors have not yet taken any action.

Alecto Caro breathed a sigh of relief. Under the tense gazes of everyone, he walked to the door and carefully observed each Slytherin who entered, instructing them to stay only in the common room.

The effects of the compound decoction will only last for a maximum of two hours. At that time, all you need to do is wait patiently, and those imposters will be exposed in full view of everyone.

Although the people in the Slytherin common room didn't understand, they had no choice but to comply out of fear of Alecto Caro.

As Malfoy said, Death Eaters don't need emotions, and Alecto Caro's preferential treatment of Slytherins was limited to their not disobeying him.

Strangely, however, everyone seemed to be fine, and no one suddenly turned into a different person.

It was late at night, and Crabbe and Goyle had finished their third supper and were starting to doze off, but the Gryffindor attackers still hadn't shown up. Three hours had passed since the last Slytherin had entered.

Realizing what was happening, Alector Caro stood up angrily.

"Damn Malfoy, how dare he make fun of me!" she roared, smashing a beautiful gilded candlestick next to her before walking out of the common room without looking back.

Alecto Caro just wanted to get back to his office immediately and find Draco Malfoy, the one who dared to deceive him.

She had made up her mind. Since she had waited in the common room for three hours, Draco Malfoy should suffer the Crucifixion Curse for three hours as punishment. That was fair.

By the way, Malfoy is still somewhat useful to the Dark Lord, so he can't die yet; she'll definitely keep that in mind.

Alecto Caro quickened her pace upstairs, but blinded by anger, she didn't notice that a black cat had appeared in front of her at some point.

Why are there cats at Hogwarts?

This was the thought that popped into Alector Caro's head without her noticing, and then the next second, she saw a deep, orange-yellow eye.

The surroundings seemed to fall silent all at once; all sound, including consciousness, was rapidly withdrawn in that instant.

With a thud, Alecto Caro fell to the ground stiffly, like a stone statue that had been overturned.
