Chapter 73 - Strategy for the Battle (1/2)

”So, Mr. Evergreen, I noticed that your face has been a bit weird when I announced the plan,” Cassia said.

”Well, can we trust this person that provided the intel? Can we trust the person with the vanishing cabinet?” Chris asked.

”Of course, this person has been a trusted ally of ours for a very long time. I believe he's even a friend of your father's,” Cassia said.

”I'm sorry to be rude, but during our fight against the Dark Lord, we've learned to never fully trust the people that provide intel or a hiding place. One day they can be our allies, but as soon as the Dark Lord gets a hold of their family or some other weakness, they'll turn on us in the blink of an eye. There's also the Imperius Curse that we have to worry about as well,” Chris said solemnly. Throughout his fight against Voldemort, he has been betrayed numerous times. While some did it for their ŀust for power, most of times, they were forced to do so due to their loved ones being threatened by Voldemort or the Death Eaters.

”So are you saying that you don't trust us as well?” Cassia asked nonchalantly.

”A bit yes,” Chris said. ”Although at this point, my friends and I don't really have a choice but to trust you don't we? However, I'm not letting go of the idea that there is a spy in here. If you guys could make a portkey that is not able to be tracked by the Ministry of Magic, it should be possible for a spy to be here as well,”

”Well you are definitely right. Although we do try our best to find any spies, if it was that easy, no one would dare to be a spy. While we do have a person skilled with legilimency, as long as the other person is proficient in occlumency, it will still be a bit difficult to determine who is the spy,&” Cassia said. ”So now that I've heard your worries, what is your plan? It seems that you didn't bring it up for no good reason,”

”Well it is related to the mission. Do you happen to have a Metamorphmagi and a polyjuice potion of said Metamorphmagi?”

”Yes we do happen to have a Metamorphmagi and their polyjuice. Who are you planning on changing that person to?” Cassia asked interested in his plan.

”Change that person into Harry and tell everyone tomorrow that the plan is to have Harry have more experience against Death Eaters. If anyone has doubts, just say that he is capable of protecting himself against those groups of Death Eaters since they're not relatively high leveled and to watch him closely just in case something bad occurs,” Chris said. ”As for Harry himself, after you announce that Harry will be going, call him to your office to talk and have the two switch with each other,”

”It's not the worst plan,” Cassia said. ”While there are definitely some flaws, if there is a spy, this can potentially weed them out,”

”Yes and send in a lot more than the 20 ȧduŀts that you were planning on sending in secret by either the disillusionment charm or an invisibility potion and have those people only fight if there is more people than originally stated. If there is no spy, just have them secretly come back,” Chris said.

”Alright, let's do as you say,” Cassia said. ”I'll take care of the smaller details,”
