Dumbledore ignored Hermione who was in a state of despair. He took Tom straight to his office. In the blink of an eye, the two of them sat down in the office.
After sitting down, Tom changed his position without any trace - the little bow Hermione tied on top of him made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But he didn't dare to take it off privately, after all, Hermione had said that he was not allowed to take it off.
At this time, Dumbledore handed over a piece of parchment and motioned for him to read the contents on it first.
"A secret report..." Tom frowned, thoughtfully.
"Tom is going to make big moves again. This guy is always ambitious." Dumbledore chuckled softly. Maybe when he first met him, he planted the seeds of victory through violence in his heart.
.Listening to Dumbledore's word "Tom", Tom felt a sudden shock in his heart. He knew that "Tom" here referred to Voldemort, but he still felt it was harsh.
After reading the secret report, Tom came to the same conclusion as Dumbledore: Voldemort was about to take action.
The secret report brought two pieces of news. One was that Voldemort had formed an alliance with the Japanese Ministry of Magic and a mysterious external force. The other was that Voldemort was recently planning to attack Azkaban and rescue his subordinates imprisoned there.
"Professor Dumbledore, I think we have run out of time." Tom placed the parchment on the table and tapped it with his index finger.
Although Voldemort's progress was rapid, it was not unexpected. If it were him, Tom would attack Azkaban immediately and rescue his most loyal subordinates.
The presence of this valuable information in Dumbledore's hands means that Voldemort may go to Azkaban at any time, maybe next week, maybe tomorrow, or even now.
There is not much time left for Dumbledore's side.
Dumbledore sat quietly in his chair, folded his hands, and listened quietly to Tom's analysis.
"We should do something." Tom clarified his point of view.
In the original world line, Dumbledore adopted almost a replica of the four-step strategy of the British Foreign Office in the face of Voldemort's resurgence.
Voldemort's possession incident occurred in Harry's first grade, and the Chamber of Secrets incident occurred in his second grade. Voldemort's Horcruxes appeared in front of Dumbledore, but he still did nothing - pretended that nothing happened.
In the fourth grade, Voldemort made a comeback and Cedric died. At this critical moment, Dumbledore first summoned the Order of the Phoenix, and then fought a year-long war of words with the Ministry of Magic... At the same time, Voldemort recalled his
The remaining troops broke through Azkaban and began to collect the prophecies from that year.
After Fudge collapsed, Dumbledore began to search for Voldemort's Horcruxes, but he was cursed. Throughout the sixth year, he searched for Horcruxes and accelerated the training of Harry. Finally, there was the Battle of the Astronomy Tower. Dumbledore
Lido died.
To sort out the whole process, from a third-person perspective, Dumbledore's reaction was really slow, just like the British government facing an emergency.
But it is understandable. After all, Dumbledore is not like Tom. He lacks necessary information. For example, after the diary was destroyed, Dumbledore may have really thought that Voldemort was dead. Who would have thought that a wizard could actually die at that time?
Who would be crazy enough to make seven Horcruxes? In the past, dark wizards basically only made one or two Horcruxes. Who would make seven at once?
Voldemort finally opened Dumbledore's eyes.
Due to his misjudgment, Dumbledore did not take any action throughout the third year, and nothing major happened at Hogwarts. It was just because Black escaped from prison that the whole school became nervous.
It wasn't until the end of the fourth year that Dumbledore noticed something strange, and finally determined that Voldemort had returned and Harry was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Dumbledore took action. However, at this time, someone pulled his
hind legs.
Cornelius Fudge, he single-handedly successfully delayed Dumbledore and disrupted his preparations - Dumbledore was once expelled from Hogwarts!
Without Fudge's interference, Dumbledore should have been able to do more in the fifth year instead of battling wits with the Ministry of Magic. In the end, precious time was wasted by a clown.
Voldemort's power expanded unprecedentedly this year, but at least there was good news: Dumbledore finally got rid of his burden. After solving Fudge's problem, Dumbledore spent a year investigating the intelligence, but
My life has come to an end...
During this period, the Ministry of Magic seemed to be offline.
It is not easy for Dumbledore to be able to investigate so much information with the "help" of so many people holding back him.
It seems that he has nothing to criticize. Dumbledore has tried his best. He failed because he was too decent and was held back by the Ministry of Magic.
The current situation is much smoother than in the original world line. At least two Horcruxes have been destroyed, and the remaining three Horcruxes are also known. More importantly, the Minister of Magic has been replaced by the more obedient Bowen.
Si, it can be regarded as solving the worries.
The cards in Dumbledore's hand are much better than those in the original work. This card of mine can be regarded as a little king, right?
Although the advantage is huge, Tom feels that Dumbledore must also take action. If he continues to delay, the best window period will be missed!
"This is a good opportunity, isn't it? We have traces of Voldemort," Tom's eyes brightened, as if there was a fire burning inside, "Then let Azkaban be his burial place.
.”
Voldemort's whereabouts are mysterious, but if he wants to break through Azkaban, he must appear there. Otherwise, his group of subordinates will just deliver food to the dementors. Then why not take advantage of his appearance to
How about a beheading?
Why don't you have to wait until he's ready, then both good and evil call their friends for a decisive battle?
Anyway, after Voldemort took Harry's blood and resurrected, the goal in their plan has been achieved, so why not just close the net and take care of the big fish Voldemort.
Dumbledore raised his head, and behind his crescent-shaped lenses were a pair of deep eyes.
"It seems a bit reckless to do this, and if I leave Hogwarts, the place will probably be attacked by Riddle." Dumbledore gave a rather conservative answer, which did not exceed Tom's expectations.
