The bodies of prisoners who have been imprisoned in Azkaban for a long time are extremely weak. Death Eaters like Bella, who floated in the sea for a while and were able to kill both crew members after just a moment of relaxation, are just an exception.
Tom's analysis made sense, and Dumbledore was also a little moved. Although he did not want to have a conflict with Voldemort rashly, he had to admit that this might be the best window period to solve the prison robbery problem.
The rescued Death Eaters needed a place to recuperate. Although Voldemort was powerful, he was not so rampant as to directly commandeer St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so Malfoy Manor was a very suitable location.
First of all, it is called "Manor", and the area is definitely not small, so it is not a problem to accommodate a few recuperating patients. Secondly, as the old Malfoy family's home, its location is concealed enough. If it weren't for Dumbledore,
It is impossible to find Malfoy Manor if there is a "ghost" inside.
With these two advantages, it is very likely that the rescued Death Eaters will be placed in Malfoy Manor. If Dumbledore can take the initiative and seize this stronghold, it will deal a heavy blow to Voldemort's power.
Although Tom's analysis is well-founded, Dumbledore still has reservations about his suggestions. Perhaps because of his old age, Dumbledore tends to act conservatively. He often needs to "plan before taking action", and Tom like
Dumbledore was not used to the behavior of taking action as soon as he slapped his forehead.
If we take travel as an example, Tom is the type of traveler who says, "The world is so big and I want to see it." He decides to travel today and arrives at his destination the next day. Dumbledore is the type of person who makes plans before traveling.
A complete guide, I wish I had even planned out the time to go to the bathroom.
It is perfectly normal for two people to have differences.
Hermione on the other side was stunned. She didn't expect that Tom would dare to criticize Fang Qiu so freely in front of Dumbledore and express his feelings directly. The relationship between Tom and Dumbledore greatly refreshed Hermione's knowledge. She originally
I thought that Tom and Dumbledore had a relationship between elders and juniors. Dumbledore was the respectable elder, and Tom was the favored child. But now it seems that Tom and Dumbledore are more like partners. Tom is not completely
As a yes man, he could put forward his own ideas and influence Dumbledore's attitude.
Seeing that the two of them were at an impasse, she didn't even dare to say a word, for fear of disturbing their thinking. As she held her breath, she suddenly realized that Tom and Dumbledore seemed to have mentioned house elves in their conversation?
Are there house elves at Hogwarts?!
Hermione's mind suddenly became erratic. She had also heard about what house elves were. In her opinion, this was simply a shameless act of slavery. Are there actually slaves in Hogwarts?
This shocked her no less than when Voldemort captured Azkaban. She decided that after Tom and Dumbledore had finished dealing with the matter at hand, she would check with them about the house elves' problem.
After a moment of silence, Tom couldn't help but remind Dumbledore: "Professor, we must at least put on a show, otherwise what will the outside wizards and the students on campus think of us? We must find a way to reassure them."...
This sentence deeply touched Dumbledore. He knew very well that he had to give an explanation to the wizarding public.
There's no way that Voldemort slapped the Ministry of Magic and the Ministry of Magic didn't give a shit, right? That would be a huge blow to one's own morale.
"Yordle, what you said makes sense. I will summon the members of the Order of the Phoenix and lead them to raid Malfoy Manor - but I want to say it first. The main purpose of going to Malfoy Manor this time is to kill the escaped prisoners.
To capture and return the gangster instead of facing off against Riddle..."
Although Dumbledore approved Tom's decision, he also stated not to escalate the situation, which made Tom curl his lips: What would you do if Voldemort chose to escalate the situation?
He watched Dumbledore summon his Phoenix Patronus, and then asked the Patronus to notify the members of the Order of the Phoenix. At this moment, Hermione, who had been acting as a backdrop, spoke.
"It is said that the impact of prison robberies is extremely bad, so how many prisoners have escaped?" Seeing that the two of them had reached a consensus, Hermione asked weakly. She did not see the specific number of prison escapees in today's news.
, I couldn’t help but feel a little curious inside.
Dumbledore lowered his eyes and said: "In the first prison robbery, nine prisoners were missing. We found seven corpses and one seriously injured and comatose prisoner, and a female prisoner was missing. As for this time..."
Having said this, Dumbledore sighed heavily: "Nearly thirty prisoners were executed, and ten Death Eaters successfully escaped."
When Voldemort first robbed the prison, he opened the doors of all the cells and let the prisoners run out in droves. When the Dementors came back, many prisoners panicked and chose to jump into the sea to escape. Most of them fell to their death in Azka
On the rocks near the sea area, only a few people escaped.
"The prisoner who survived was Rabastan of the Strange family. He was the younger brother of Rodolphus Strange - this man was also taken out during the second prison robbery. Rodolphus
His wife is the missing female prisoner, her name is Bellatrix, and she is one of Riddle’s most loyal followers.”
Tom raised his eyebrows: In other words, a descendant of the Strange family fell into the hands of the Ministry of Magic?
"How much inheritance rights does this Rabastan have in the Strange family?" A bold idea suddenly appeared in Tom's mind.
Before Dumbledore could answer, a lazy voice came from the wall behind him.
"He is the only heir to the Strange family!"
Tom looked towards the source of the sound and found that the speaker was Phineas Black, a Hogwarts headmaster from the Black family.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted the attention of Tom, Dumbledore and Hermione.
"Phineas knows much more about the pedigree of pure-blood families than I do." Dumbledore said humbly, "Tom, if you have any questions in this regard, you can go to Phineas and he will definitely be able to answer it for you.
."
Phineas suddenly felt proud after being praised by Dumbledore.
"This is natural, I am a member of the ancient and noble Black family!"
He glanced at Tom and showed off his knowledge. It could be seen that although he was just a portrait, Phineas had never relaxed his study of pure-blood family genealogy, and he had been updating his knowledge reserve.
After his introduction, Tom clarified the status of the ancient Strange family. He was now very sure that his idea was theoretically feasible.
