Chapter 626 Concession will only make Voldemort advance
Tom and Hermione rushed all the way to the door of the principal's office, and the gargoyle at the door let them in without even asking for their password.
Tom ran all the way, rushing up the spiral staircase in three steps and two steps, and entered Dumbledore's office.
As soon as Tom opened the door, he said loudly: "Professor Dumbledore, we can't give in anymore! Giving in will only allow Voldemort to advance further, we have to take the initiative!"
Tom thought about a lot of excuses before he came in. He was determined to prompt Dumbledore to summon members of the Order of the Phoenix to attack Voldemort's Death Eaters. But when he saw Dumbledore, he was ready to make a big deal.
All the logic was stuck in his throat.
Dumbledore looked particularly tired today, and his sapphire eyes were filled with weariness. Only then did Tom realize that the old man in front of him was already 112 years old.
When people mention Dumbledore, they often give him countless honorary titles, but few people associate him with the word aging. His mental outlook has always been very good and full of vitality, which is Tom's first
This was the first time I saw him looking tired.
It is not difficult to understand that in the past two days, Dumbledore first stayed in Azkaban with Tom, and then fought a battle with Voldemort. After returning to Hogwarts, he did not rest long when he received another secret letter and learned that Voldemort
After going to capture Azkaban, he rushed to Azkaban non-stop. This time he did not meet Voldemort, but he met a group of Ministry of Magic officials who were almost frightened. Waiting for him to calm down the Ministry of Magic officials
, Tom came to the door again...
The intensity of work during this period was a bit too much for Dumbledore. It was a miracle that an old man of this age could move, let alone such a high-intensity running around.
When Dumbledore saw Tom, he rubbed his brows, braced himself, and motioned for Tom and Hermione, who was following him out of breath, to sit down first.
"I've always envied you young people for your endless strength." Dumbledore smiled bitterly at Tom, "I just ran a few places before I couldn't hold on anymore. It's great to be young!"
"If you are willing to take the Philosopher's Stone, you can also return to the state of your youth." Tom's words came from the bottom of his heart.
Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel had a good personal relationship, and it was not difficult to obtain the Philosopher's Stone - Nicolas Flamel even directly asked Dumbledore to keep the last Philosopher's Stone for him. Dumbledore, who took the Philosopher's Stone, naturally
Can restore youth.
Then Voldemort will fight Dumbledore in his heyday, and Voldemort will fight him with his head! Tom can just lie flat.
Faced with Tom's suggestion, Dumbledore just smiled and did not answer. He took the initiative to provoke another topic.
"Yordle, you came to me in such a hurry, presumably because you saw the headlines in tonight's newspaper?" Dumbledore looked a little regretful: "I'm not sure that revealing the Azkaban prison break incident is the right thing to do.
It's not a good thing, but I'm sure the children's Christmas was ruined."
Isn't it! With everything going on, almost no one will focus on Christmas.
"Professor, the Ministry of Magic is still unwilling to admit that Voldemort is back?!" Looking at Dumbledore's haggard appearance, Tom had a bad intuition...
Hearing Tom's question, Dumbledore's face darkened. He shook his head and told Tom that Minister Bones thought it was too early and she objected to prematurely telling the public that the wizarding world would face another threat from Voldemort.
"So she admitted that Voldemort did it?" Tom discovered the change in the Ministry of Magic's attitude from the details of Dumbledore's speech - they finally no longer wanted evidence.
The previous attitude of the Ministry of Magic was:
[Dumbledore: Voldemort is causing trouble, we need to be prepared
Ministry of Magic: There is no evidence that a mysterious person is responsible]
Now their attitude has changed subtly:
[Dumbledore: Voldemort!
Ministry of Magic: Don’t shout so loud, don’t scare other people!]
It is also a good thing to have such a change.
The fall of Azkaban shocked the top officials of the Ministry of Magic and made them realize that they must strengthen cooperation with Dumbledore, so they suddenly relaxed their tone.
It is quite sad to say that Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard in the magical world, was regarded as a statue in the temple by these people, and he would only worship him when he encountered trouble.
Hermione on the side had goosebumps on her arms as she listened to Tom and Dumbledore saying "Voldemort" one after another. Although she grew up in the Muggle world, the attitude of her classmates towards Voldemort had a subtle influence on her.
She also developed a fear of that name.
At this time, she was extremely nervous, and her palms were all sweaty.
"Yordle, tell me what you think?" Dumbledore decided to listen to what Tom thought, although he had already guessed what Tom was thinking.
"Professor, answer me a question first. How did you know the news?"
It is embarrassing to say that Tom, as the master of Azkaban and the king of dementors, actually only learned about the Azkaban prison break through the newspapers.
He usually laughed at the fact that the British Foreign Secretary had to watch the TV news to learn about the drastic changes in the British political arena. But at the critical moment, he saw that he was just like them! It can only be said that he was completely assimilated into the British.
"The Malfoy house elf appeared in the Hogwarts kitchen and asked the school elf to hand over Lucius's note." Dumbledore told Tom what happened to him a few hours ago.
It turned out that Lucius deliberately left a loophole when he gave Dobby the order and did not limit which kitchen Dobby should go to to get refreshments. Therefore, after getting the hint, Dobby went directly to the Hogwarts kitchen to deliver the important message.
come out.
"I see, so the headquarters of the Death Eaters is at Malfoy Manor, right?"
It is not difficult to conclude from Dobby's report that Voldemort and his servants are entrenched in Malfoy Manor.
Tom looked at Dumbledore seriously and expressed his thoughts: "I suggest that you immediately summon the members of the Order of the Phoenix and go directly to Malfoy Manor to fight the Death Eaters there!"
Tom said eagerly: "Although there are many Death Eaters at this time, many of them are prisoners who have just escaped from Azkaban. They are very weak and cannot form a fighting force at all. The Death Eaters have to separate."
People need to take care of them. Now is when they are at their weakest. If we don’t take the initiative at this time, it will be too late by the time they recover!"
