RP: Summons to Hogsmeade Who: Everyone Where: Hogsmeade When: Around 22:30 21 August, 2025 Rating/Warnings: Summary: The Death Eaters gather in Hogsmeade
The Dark Lord finished his discussion with the Dementor and watched as Fenrir's werewolves went off in search of the secret entrance to Hogwarts.
He wasn't going to take chances, if they found the way in, they would storm it and hit them with the element of surprise. But he would also consider the possibility that this could be a trap. Potter was known for having a sacrifice complex. He couldn't fathom how this could be a trap, unless Potter didn't expect Bella to be as short-sighted as she was. Still, he'd leave the guards at the Ministry and at Azkaban. He'd also be careful not to pull too many Dementors and guards off of Hogwarts. He wasn't going to give them advance warning by noticing a lightened watch.
He activated the Dark Mark, summoning his Death Eaters to come to Hogsmeade. Normally, the sky would burn brightly with his Mark from such a summons. But tonight, there was no emerald light, only darkness.
As the crowd grew, he wondered if he, like Bella, wasn't making a tactical blunder. Surely a sole wizard -- the greatest there ever was -- could sneak through this hidden entrance undetected, reach the Castle's depths, and lay claim to his birthright.
