Albert knocked on the door of the principal's office and greeted the old man behind the desk with a smile. He was actually a little surprised that Dumbledore actually knew that he was coming to Hogwarts.
However, if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising. After all, this is the home base where the other party has been operating for many years. There was an invasion by Sirius before, so it is normal to arrange any defensive measures.
If it were him, he would definitely have similar defensive measures to prevent someone from quietly invading Hogwarts without his knowledge.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Anderson. How is Mr. Diggory?"
Dumbledore put down the "Daily Prophet" in his hand, raised his head and looked at Albert who knocked on the door and walked into the office, giving him a gentle smile as if meeting an old friend.
"Already awake, Madam Pomfrey said that Cedric will be fine after a few days of rest." Albert walked to the chair next to the desk and sat down, "I hope you can allow him to rest here for a few days. Now
St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Magical Maladies is far from safe."
"Of course, no problem." Dumbledore glanced at the newspaper headlines next to him and asked with a smile: "What do you want?"
"milk tea."
"I just heard about that from Scrimgeour. You did the right thing. Now is not the time to face the mysterious man."
A cup of steaming milk tea appeared in front of Albert out of thin air with a wave of the magic wand. The principal handed Albert the newspaper he had just finished reading. The latest headlines in the newspaper were:
The author of "Looking Through the Mist and Seeing the Future" and the master of prophecy Cassandra Wabraski disappeared mysteriously at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.
"I suspect that Ms. Wablaski was captured by Voldemort." Dumbledore put a large spoonful of honey into his cup of milk tea, stirred it gently with a spoon, picked it up and took a sip before saying softly.
"There is no doubt that Ms. Wabraski was captured by the mysterious man." Albert also took a sip of milk tea, and after meeting Dumbledore's probing eyes, he explained calmly: "He tried to pass Cassan
De La Vabras divined my location, and I have to say that the mysterious man has become smarter than before, which is not good news."
"This is indeed bad news." Dumbledore stared at the man in front of him, not worried for him. He knew that Voldemort had nothing to do with Albert, but he still did not forget to warn him, "You'd better be careful lately.
"
"As long as he doesn't leave the protection range of the Loyalty Curse, he can't do anything to me." After Albert expressed his gratitude to Dumbledore for the reminder, he directly brought the topic back to the topic: "Okay, Professor, I want you to find
This is probably not what I am doing!"
Dumbledore also seemed very happy to finally get to the point. He raised his blackened palms and said softly: "I have a very important plan here."
Albert had already guessed what Dumbledore's plan was, but he didn't answer the other person's words and let Dumbledore continue.
"Snape is our man."
He suddenly said this sentence without any beginning or end.
Albert still didn't speak, acting like I'm listening, you continue...
"I think you may have divined that I will be killed by Snape in the near future." Dumbledore's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he looked at the expressionless Albert and continued, "That's
As part of the plan, I deliberately asked him to kill me. I was about to die anyway, so I might as well use the last remaining heat."
"It's surprising." Albert asked pretending to be confused, "But why are you telling me these things?"
"Because this plan is very important and will revolve around my death."
Dumbledore talked about his own death in a nonchalant way, and those who didn't know thought he was talking about what he was going to eat later!
"This plan is very important. I know you don't believe Severus, but he is worth trusting, at least..."
"To be honest, I don't think Snape is very trustworthy, but I think you came to me because you don't want me to disrupt your plan." Albert said that he could understand, "If you can, just talk about it.
It’s your plan.”
"I don't have long to live, and Voldemort happened to send someone to assassinate me?" Dumbledore had a very interesting expression when he talked about this matter.
"Mr. Malfoy?" Albert said suddenly.
"It seems that you know something."
"No, there is no need to know at all. In fact, it is not difficult to speculate that Lucius Malfoy caused the death of so many Death Eaters. The mysterious man must have wanted to kill him, and he chose to kill his son to punish Lucius.
Of course, I have never doubted that the mysterious man will kill Malfoy in the near future." After Albert drank all the milk tea in the cup, he looked at Dumbledore and asked: "So, you want to save that person by the way?
Malfoy, take advantage of the opponent's assassination to complete your important plan?"
"Yes." Dumbledore smiled and said, "Mr. Malfoy's assassination plan is completely under my control, and Severus will be responsible for guiding him."
"Most people will want to try and prove themselves." Albert reminded, "This is especially true for children, they will not give up easily."
"To be honest, I'm not optimistic that Snape can convince Mr. Malfoy. Maybe Mr. Malfoy will be more willing to try his new ideas, and this may very well result in a student at Hogwarts being harmed or even thrown away."
life."
"Thank you for the reminder. I will tell Severus to pay attention to this." Dumbledore couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, thinking of the possibility that Albert mentioned, and felt that it was necessary to talk to Severus about this again.
thing.
"According to the original plan, Mr. Malfoy will find a group of people to come to Hogwarts and kill me."
"This plan is quite stupid. If it hadn't come from your mouth, I would have suspected that his brain had been blocked by the door." Albert sneered unceremoniously, "Run to someone else's base camp to assassinate the other party's leader.
, it’s just like dying, not to mention it’s a place like Hogwarts, where you can’t even Apparate and properly form a group to die.”
"Isn't this great?" Dumbledore said calmly, "It can just be used to fight against Death Eaters."
"Are you sure they will be fooled?" Albert asked suspiciously.
"They will." Dumbledore said firmly...
"It seems that you have also discovered the weaknesses of the Death Eaters." Albert said suddenly.
"Weakness?" Dumbledore seemed interested.
"Stupid and arrogant, many of the disadvantages of incest marriages appear on them." Albert showed his disgust and malice towards the Death Eaters without reservation, "How do you plan to die? Is it to fall into
Are you going to be killed by a group of Death Eaters? Or are you going to let Snape stage a stabbing for you and have him attack you from behind while you're dueling the Death Eaters?"
"Honestly, I don't believe that the mysterious person would believe such nonsense. The person who knows you best is always your enemy. This sentence makes sense. I believe that the mysterious person will not be stupid enough to think that you only have this level.
I will never believe that you will be killed by a group of low-life Death Eaters."
"No, you think too much of Voldemort. He actually doesn't care about these things. All he wants is to kill me. No matter what method he uses, I think other things are not worth mentioning compared to killing me, because that means
His obstacles are gone, and he is far less wary of you than I am."
"He didn't dare to face you head-on, but he dared to come after me." Albert did not deny this, and he did not think he had anything to make Voldemort wary.
He believed that Voldemort would definitely think so, and this was good news for Albert. It meant contempt, and nothing was more fatal than contempt for the enemy.
"I found a cave, well, it's probably the cave where Voldemort hides his Horcruxes." Dumbledore said about the script he arranged for himself.
"Have you found the last Horcrux?" Albert asked, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"I don't know. Anyway, I will take Harry there. He will encounter some trouble when cracking the cave and become very weak. Then Snape can kill the weak me and gain Voldemort's trust.
.”
"Are you sure the person who killed you was not Mr. Malfoy?" Albert asked, "That person really wanted to kill you in order to gain the forgiveness of the mysterious man."
"I believe he is not that corrupted yet," Dumbledore said calmly.
"I'm really curious about your criteria for evaluating depravity? Taking away a person's life?" Albert asked curiously, "Honestly, I think death is not terrible. The most terrible thing is that life is worse than death. For example, once
The prison of Azkaban."
Dumbledore remained silent, not intending to discuss this issue too much.
"I think you should know the secret between me and the wand!" He changed the topic.
"The elder wand of the three brothers?"
"Yes, that's it. This wand has extraordinary power. It is precisely because of it that I, who has weak magic power, have the power to compete with Voldemort." Dumbledore said firmly: "Voldemort, who pursues immortality and power, must
Will start looking for the wand."
"Actually, you can destroy this wand directly, so that the mysterious person will never be able to obtain it, and there will be no risk." Albert reminded with a smile, "You don't need to put in so much effort.
To plan this wand, or do you plan to give it to Harry and let him use this wand to defeat the mysterious man."...
"I plan to let the mysterious person obtain this wand." Dumbledore said in shock, "But it will never be able to exert the effect of this wand. I think you should know that wands also have owners. Once the owners of some wands are
Defeated, its ownership will be transferred, and the characteristics of the Elder Wand in this regard are very obvious."
"So, you plan to let Malfoy defeat you, and then let Snape kill you." Albert looked at Dumbledore with a strange expression: "Even if the mysterious person gets the wand and kills him after discovering that something is wrong with the wand,
Snape couldn't get the wand because he didn't even know that Malfoy owned the wand?"
Dumbledore did not answer, but obviously acquiesced in the matter.
"Snape would be very sad if he knew!"
"Some things are worth paying for, even life." Dumbledore said calmly.
"You have lived for a century. Even if you die now, it will not be a loss, but you don't expect me to pay." Albert shrugged, "I am still young and want to continue to live for a few more years."
"I know that you actually don't trust anyone, whether it's Harry or me. You never trust anyone else." Dumbledore raised his hand and motioned for Albert to listen to him, "I know you have your own
As a backup plan, if Harry unfortunately fails, I hope you can kill Voldemort."
"You actually have no confidence in your heir?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised.
"I'm just leaving a back-up to prevent accidents and prevent Voldemort from completely turning the entire magical world upside down." Dumbledore said softly, "Isn't this something you like to do very much?"
"Aren't you afraid that I will become another mysterious person?" Albert asked, "You know, many dark wizards have lost their lives because of me."
"They got a fair trial. Although I also think your approach is a bit radical, even I can't cover everything. Some things always need to make some trade-offs. If it weren't for you, the Ministry of Magic would probably become a mess.
Chaos." Dumbledore was actually not worried that Albert would become the next Dark Lord, because Albert was not cruel, as could be seen from his behavior.
Albert looked at Dumbledore in surprise, but didn't say much. He just nodded and said, "I also think it's better for the mysterious man to disappear completely. It's best to clean up the Death Eaters as well."
"Clean it up?" Dumbledore repeated in his mouth.
"What's the problem?" Albert said to himself, "I think as long as Veritaserum is used for interrogation, most Death Eaters' crimes will not escape the fate of repeated death sentences. After all, Azkaban Prison will be closed by then.
There will definitely be no dementors. After this hell on earth ceases to exist, the real hell will obviously be more suitable for Death Eaters."
Dumbledore no longer took this matter to heart. After his death, most things had nothing to do with him.
"I think I should go, so as not to worry Yin Zebel." Albert stood up and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Anderson, I think you must know how to sneak into Hogwarts quietly." Dumbledore suddenly stopped Albert and asked about it.
He actually knew several ways, but maybe Albert could know more ways.
"You mean helping Death Eaters enter Hogwarts?" Albert raised his eyebrows slightly.
"right."
"You can pass the secret passage. There are several secret passages in Hogwarts that can enter the school." Albert glanced sideways at the fireplace and continued, "Just use Floo powder to come out of Snape's fireplace. House Elf
You can also ignore Hogwarts' rules prohibiting Apparition. Portkeys are actually fine, but the movement is a bit loud, but it doesn't seem strange if it is a Death Eater. If you are not satisfied with these, you can try the disappearing cabinet.
I remember there was a vanishing cabinet in Hogwarts that could be connected to the disappearing cabinet in Borgin Burke's shop. However, that thing seems to be broken. As long as it is repaired, it should still be usable."
