<P> Voldemort, having regained his full strength at the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, summoned his followers to him by touching Peter Pettigrew's Dark Mark . Except for Severus Snape (staying at Hogwarts to "maintain his cover"), those dead, imprisoned, or afraid to return, the majority returned to his service as Voldemort began his second attempt to claim power . </P> <P> Voldemort states at his rebirth, "And here we have six missing Death Eaters...three dead in my service . One, too cowardly to return...he will pay . One, who I believe has left me forever...he will be killed, of course...and one, who remains my most faithful servant, and who has already reentered my service ." Based on later happenings in the books, it can be deduced that the one "too cowardly to return" is Igor Karkaroff . The one "who I believe has left me forever" is Severus Snape, who returns two hours later to explain his absence and convince Voldemort that he is a spy for him . The "most faithful servant" is Barty Crouch Jr., who has already been in place at Hogwarts working for Voldemort . The three dead include Evan Rosier and Wilkes . </P> <P> The Minister for Magic (Cornelius Fudge) deluded himself into believing that Voldemort could not have come back and that it was all a lie cooked up by Dumbledore, who Fudge believed had designs on his political office . The Death Eaters use this tactical advantage throughout Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix to maintain their secrecy . Because of the Ministry's refusal to remove the Dementors from Azkaban, which Dumbledore advised immediately following Voldemort's return, the Death Eaters recruited the Dementors to their cause and made similar progress with the giants; the Dementors' revolt against the Ministry of Magic also allowed the Death Eaters to bolster their ranks with the mass break - out of several imprisoned Death Eaters, including Bellatrix . </P> <P> In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort sent a group of twelve Death Eaters, led by Lucius Malfoy, into the Department of Mysteries, where he expected them to secure a prophecy of vital importance to him: having originally attacked Harry based upon a partial recounting of it, he now wanted to hear the full version to better, or even fully, understand the connection between Harry and himself . The raid on the Department failed, however; Harry and his friends delayed the Death Eaters and kept the prophecy out of their hands, finally destroying it, and were eventually aided by Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix . Dumbledore captured eleven of the twelve Death Eaters, sending Voldemort and Bellatrix fleeing after a fierce duel with the former, and ending the Death Eaters' enjoyed secrecy . Lucius, who had been important both to the Death Eaters and within the Ministry, was captured and imprisoned . However, the Death Eaters regrouped, assassinating and kidnapping important wizards, killing Muggles, and in general spreading terror and chaos through the Wizarding world . Soon after Lucius' capture, his son Draco is made a Death Eater, and given the task of killing Dumbledore, although this task is eventually performed by Snape . </P>
