"As far as I know, Voldemort has beaten the International Confederation of Wizards so badly that their faces are swollen. There is no way they're going to give up on destroying..." Robards suddenly trailed off, as if realizing something, and his expression turned extremely grim.
"It looks like you've guessed the reason, too. Kingsley certainly invited them to join this encirclement campaign against Voldemort, but even if the International Confederation of Wizards were willing to join, they would only come out to help clean up the mess after we have completely defeated Voldemort and secured final victory." Aberforth glanced at the Aurors present and sneered. "So, you'd better not expect those fellows to help us. Of course, there's no need to worry too much either, because the current situation is much better than Albert initially anticipated. We just need to follow the plan and complete our respective tasks step by step."
The Aurors fell silent one after another.
