But as Dumbledore analyzed, the Forgetting Curse, a means of forcibly changing people's minds, is not a long-term solution.
The first batch of modified hemp wizards released from the correctional center were indeed just a group of victims, and this group of victims would definitely attract the prey they needed to those who made this move.
Contrary to what the outside world imagines, there are actually no long-lasting wailing sounds inside the correctional facility, nor are there any horrific tortures and tortures.
Compared to a prison, this place is more like an alternative school, and Voldemort is the principal of the school.
He was sitting in an office with bright and clean windows, looking out the window at the waves constantly beating on the rocks on the seashore.
"The dementors who stayed in Azkaban, this is the only news they reported?"
The man's voice was very soft, making it difficult to tell what kind of emotion he was feeling at this moment.
Under his command, Rodolphus Lestrange, who was the nominal head of the correctional facility, lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the gentleman who seemed to be easy to get along with.
"This is the confession retold to us by their leader himself. Legilimency and Veritaserum have no effect on them. Master, we have no way to determine the authenticity of this information, but I think... they should
I dare not lie to you."
Voldemort had an understatement on his face. He picked up the confession recorded from the dementors on his desk again, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Two wizards and a ghost forced their way into Azkaban Island, captured the Aurors stationed on the island, and then used an extremely powerful Patronus Charm to drive away the Dementors in the castle, and finally disappeared with the captives.
Without a trace..."
Rodolphus did not hear a trace of sarcasm in the man's tone. If he dared to raise his head, he would find that the sarcastic sneer on his master's face was already evident.
"After getting the Dementor's confession, I sent a small team to the prison to check the situation, Master. Judging from the signs left there, the Dementor shouldn't have lied. Our people were indeed there.
Traces of the summoning of two extremely powerful patronus spells were found in the prison."
"The two men who broke into the prison drank polyjuice potion. They pretended to be Scabior and MacNeill, but the appearance of the ghost could not be changed. Through the description of the dementors, we found
The information about that ghost, he is..."
Voldemort casually threw the confession back on the desk.
"He is a resident ghost who escaped from Hogwarts Castle."
Rodolphus looked at his master in astonishment. He had just investigated the information about Nick, and there was no mention of it in the confession at all.
Voldemort analyzed it if he was interested.
"Let me think about it, that stupid woman Gray will definitely not help Dumbledore do such a thing. Barrow will take most of the ghosts and leave to find a solution. The fat monk is a good old man, but his character is not worthy of trust.
If I were Dumbledore, the only option would be Nick, who was almost beheaded."
Rodolphus swallowed nervously, nodded and said.
"Master, your wisdom is unparalleled in the world. You are Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington. He is the ghost who appeared in the prison and assisted two other people in kidnapping the Auror."
"Kidnap the Aurors?"
Voldemort raised his voice.
"If Dumbledore sent them there just for this reason, it was nothing. Look up and look at me, Rodolphus."
Rodolphus raised his head tremblingly and met his master's eyes.
In that man's dark pupils, there was only indifference like stagnant water.
"At this time, I have to stay here, so you immediately send someone to Azkaban again. There is a secret cellar on the first floor of that prison. Find it. Anyone under the barrel in the cellar
Find a trap door. Open that door, enter the room behind the door and find me a diary. If they can still find it, get that diary back to me immediately."
"If there is nothing inside, send people north along Azkaban Island, across the North Sea, and find a tower called Stahl in the middle of the Norwegian Sea. See if there is nothing but an old loser who can only study astronomy.
, is there anyone else here?"
His tone was not intense, and could even be called calm, but Rodolphus could hear the coldness in it that could make most of the magical world tremble.
"What would our people do if...if there was someone else in that tower?"
Voldemort stared at him.
"Except for one person who immediately apparates back to report to me, everyone else stays and keeps an eye on those people. I will go there myself!"
Rodolphus lowered his head heavily again.
"yes!"
...
Hermione, who was looking for clues to the floor below in the foyer of the first floor, was suddenly startled by a voice coming from beside her.
"Miss Granger."
Rabiel didn't know when he silently appeared beside Hermione. He looked at Hermione calmly with his big and scary eyes.
"Lunch is ready. It's time for us to go to the living room to eat."
Hermione was so frightened that she trembled all over, and then recovered.
Luna on the side also walked over. She looked at Rabiel and tilted her head in thought.
"Mr. Rabil?"
Rabiel turned to look at the girl with light blond hair.
"Just call me Rabiel. No elf is qualified to be called sir."
Hermione and Luna looked at each other, and she saw what she was thinking.
"We are curious about one thing." Luna asked softly, "Is the level we are on now the lowest point that the entire tower can reach? Is there also a part hidden in the sea?
Which floor can I go to?”
There is nothing to hide. Judging from the current situation, Sir Stoker's attitude towards them can be called friendly.
Even if there is still a section of this tower under the sea, it is not a shameful thing.
Facing her question, Rabiel's ugly face showed no change in expression. He just shook his head and said.
"In order to resist the corrosion of the tower by sea water, hard stone foundations were erected under the sea. There are no rooms and no way to reach it."
His answer was reasonable and he was very calm about this ordinary question. Neither Hermione nor Luna saw any problem.
Originally, they were just out of curiosity and a little curious. Now that they had obtained the answer from Rabiel, they did not persist in this issue.
