Instead, there was a kind of scrutiny in Barty's eyes, as if he was patiently waiting for what kind of choice Voldemort would make regarding this condition.
The moment Voldemort heard Dumbledore's words, he was obviously a little surprised. He obviously did not expect that he would make such a condition.
But soon the shock disappeared, and he became cold and gloomy again.
"Do you think I will only compromise again and again? Dumbledore!"
Dumbledore looked at him quietly. The old Voldemort would never say such a thing if he encountered such a situation.
If he had more than 50% chance of defeating Dumbledore, he would flip the table without hesitation and talk about it after the fight. If he felt that he didn't even have a 50% chance of winning, he would also use some more clever means to raise the issue.
Other more tempting conditions forced Dumbledore to give up this request.
Or simply put on a play and let Barty Jr. and Snape make the sacrifice choice willingly.
Faced with such conditions, Voldemort originally had many options to choose from, but anyone with a discerning eye can actually see that what he is saying now is actually threatening Dumbledore: That's almost enough, and he will agree to this condition, but there is only this.
One already.
"Just like you took the initiative to hold the Triwizard Tournament, you would have to pay more. Now since you still want peace, you also need to pay more conditions."
"How many do you mean by some?" Voldemort said coldly, "If you also ask me to surrender, do I have to accept it?"
Dumbledore shook his head seriously.
"I promise this is the last one. As long as you agree, you can take your people and leave from here. At the same time, how about I also add a promise? As long as the British Ministry of Magic still belongs to you, I will not take it with you.
My students return to this castle."
Jon knew that Dumbledore was actually playing a little trick here.
Now according to the bet of the Triwizard Tournament, after they win, Hogwarts Castle will of course belong to them, but the castle does not travel around like a carriage. It still belongs to the United Kingdom, and today's Britain
It's still Voldemort's world.
If the entire Hogwarts is directly moved back to Hogwarts Castle, then Voldemort can find too many opportunities to infiltrate into it, and can also use too many opportunities to invade the castle, and since the main forces are in
Because of France, Dumbledore couldn't send too many people to Hogwarts Castle, and even he himself couldn't stay in the castle for a long time. He was still needed to take charge of the overall situation on the Witch Level Line.
So for them at this time, the ownership of the castle is actually very useless. Having the sole claim to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the most important thing.
Using the condition of a vacant castle to pry Voldemort's heart is undoubtedly a very good deal.
Facts proved that Dumbledore was undoubtedly right, and Voldemort no longer hesitated or hesitated about the condition he added later.
He looked at Barty Jr. and Snape, as if he was examining and weighing the two of them.
Every molecule in the air seemed to have stopped moving, until Voldemort's voice reached everyone's ears again.
"Severus."
When he said this name, the masked Death Eaters behind him all seemed to let out a long sigh of relief, and their tense breaths relaxed.
According to the stance of these purebloods, they would of course side with Barty Jr. without any doubt. As for Snape, he had been isolated among Voldemort's forces from beginning to end.
Not only because he is the only mixed-blood in a high position, but also because everyone knows that it was because Voldemort agreed to his request that he could not kill the woman named Lily under any circumstances, which led to death eating.
Many of the disciples lost their lives because of this.
Therefore, no one likes Snape. Even Voldemort 1, who now controls his body, has no good impression of Snape because he knows some inside information that was not known to outsiders at the time. He chose Barty Jr. and abandoned him.
Just what he wanted.
After saying Snape's name, he had no more unnecessary words, and there was no need for him to say anything more. The meaning expressed in this way was already quite obvious.
Little Barty's face didn't show the slightest hint of the kind of disaster that others imagined. On the contrary, when he looked at Voldemort, his look became even weirder. It was as weird as seeing him for the first time.
Just like the master.
Even now, Snape's expression has not changed at all, as if he was a dead man carved from stone.
After Dumbledore received no unexpected results from Voldemort, he waved to the wizards on the Witch Level, and then Kingsley and the others made way for a passage that was only for one person to pass through.
The Carrow brothers and half-blood Dean Greengrass led a group of former Hogwarts professors out of the encirclement one after another. Before leaving, the wands in their hands were also confiscated to prevent the prisoners from being exchanged at the same time.
, Voldemort went back on his word.
Voldemort also released the Mock students he had imprisoned and the members of the Witchcraft Line captured in France. Ironically, when those Mock students were released, many of them were still kneeling on the ground, begging for help.
Please don't abandon them, pureblood master.
All they got was the ruthless spells of the Death Eaters, who were forced to drive them closer to the witch level.
The other Aurors had already started to line up to leave, but Lucius was left at the end.
He glanced at Jon with complicated eyes, then at Dumbledore, and then slowly placed Draco, who was still unconscious, on the ground.
If giving his son to others would mean disobeying Voldemort's decision on the spot, Lucius would not dare to do it, but if he handed his son over to Dumbledore and the others, not only him but also his wife Narcissa would not be too
Too much worry.
Staying in the UK, if the war situation between Voldemort and Dumbledore does not go well, then it is not impossible for Voldemort to go crazy and force students who have not graduated to go to the battlefield, but if it is Dumbledore's side, even if it is a person on the level of Wu
Even if they die, they will not harm these students.
"He is just a child and has not done anything evil. I hope you will not anger him because of me."
Lucius whispered such words, then followed the Auror army, and gave Draco one last look before leaving.
