Night 12 has ended.
Last night the entire castle had been shaken again. Several students talked about the horrible battle of curses and jinxes they'd heard while trying to sleep. Why tonight's skirmish had been so loud quickly became clear when the doors to the Great Hall were opened...
The entire hall was a mess, all tables broken and all over the hall. akuchi and Blue Kirby had been fighting here, and it seemed their curses had struck each other, as the wands they had in their cold hands were still full of energy, and their faces seemed frozen mid-sentence.
After people confirmed twice that akuchi was dead, they carefully searched her...robes, and found the piece of parchment they had been looking for:
You are a Ministry Worker.
You are allied with the Ministry of Magic.
You work at the Ministry of Magic, sent by Cornelius Fudge to spy inside Hogwarts to see what Dumbledore is up to, and kill off everyone valuable to him. The fact that there's Death Eaters in there as well serves to silence the corrupt Minister's conscience.
There is one small problem with your assignment. To avoid detection, you have been sent into Hogwarts into small groups. You do not know who your other collegues are, or even who the Minister is. You only know the identity of two other workers, and they know yours. It is in your best interest to find the Minister and everyone allied with him.
There is 14 people allied with the Ministry, you included. Fudge is working with one other person, who will replace him in the event that he perishes. There is also someone with a special power. This person operates with two other regular Ministry Workers.
Cornelius Fudge will determine who the Ministry is killing during the night. The more quickly the Ministry unites, the less the chance that you accidentally off one of your own.
On Blue Kirby they found one saying:
You are a Death Eater.
You are allied with the Death Eaters.
You are nameless. You are faceless. Your only allegiance is to your master, Lord Voldemort. For years the Hogwarts School of Withcraft and Wizardry has proven to be a thorn in your master’s side so now you and your fellows have been commanded to destroy all those within its hallowed walls.
At night, you and your fellow Death Eaters will confer to decide on a target to pick off while the students are sleeping. After reaching a decision, your leader, Lord Voldemort, will PM me with the name of the target who will be attacked that night. Of course, should Lord Voldemort prove to be a “Leprechaun’s taint” you and the rest of the Death Eaters may PM me to elect a new leader who, hopefully, will be in a better position to lead. Don’t worry, your night kill will still go through.
as well as a nameplate identifying him as Yaxley, the Death Eater who had replaced the former leader of the Death Eaters.
With another set of deaths in favor of Hogwarts, the students saw light at the end of the tunnel. Those who were alive were praying this stayed unchanged, while they also tried to figure out who would be out to make sure this was not the case...
Day 12 begins.
