Chapter 316 Don’t panic, Lao Deng, I know the answer to the question

Sebastian was going to look for him with Minerva?

This feels familiar.

After hearing the other party's words, Dumbledore was slightly stunned, his eyebrows raised, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

Oh, I remembered it!

This guy would come to me every summer vacation to make reforms, either asking me to pay or do the work.

Of course, the annual reforms are beneficial to Hogwarts and the students, but I really can't stand it anymore.

It’s only been a few days since I got off work, why are you targeting me again?

You can't let yourself enjoy two days of vacation and then talk to me about work.

"Headmaster Dumbledore," Sebastian said enthusiastically, "What a coincidence."

"I have some reform ideas that need to be implemented in the school."

"Look, why don't we find a quiet place to have a couple of drinks? And discuss my reform measures together."

"Of course, as usual, we have to pick up Professor McGonagall. She is too busy with admissions work right now, so it's just right for her to relax with us."

"And if these reform measures are to be implemented, they will require Professor McGonagall's support."

"What do you think of my proposal?"

Dumbledore blinked several times, looking a little stunned, as if he had lost the ability to speak for a brief moment.

He resisted the urge to turn around and leave, suppressed his inner complaints, quickly gathered himself together, and with a smile on his face, he repeatedly consoled the enthusiastic Sebastian.

"Sebastian, I know you're anxious, but don't worry, I have something more important to tell you now."

More important things?

Sebastian raised an eyebrow.

For a principal, what could be more important than school reform?

Old Deng probably wants to be lazy again. It's hard for him to find an excuse to deal with me.

Forget it!

Today is indeed a bit abrupt, so I still have to give Lao Deng some face. I'll go back and make an appointment via Owl. After Lao Deng is mentally prepared, I'll go to see him.

Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Principal, what's the important matter? If you have something to do, go and do it first. The three of us will make an appointment another day."

Got it!

This is a misunderstanding of myself.

Sebastian is a good young man in every way, except that he is a little too smooth sometimes and always likes to guess what others mean.

"Sebastian," Dumbledore tried to conceal his inner turmoil and calmly went straight to the point, "Peter Pettigrew escaped from Azkaban today, and he is very likely to go find Voldemort."

"I'm having a headache about this matter. Can you help me with some reference?"

Looking for Voldemort?

This news is quite true.

Peter not only goes to find Voldemort, but also helps him resurrect.

But how did Lao Deng know this news?

"I didn't pay attention to Peter's execution," Sebastian said calmly, "but I just heard from a friend that he escaped from prison."

"As for the Dark Lord..." Sebastian looked around, "There are still a lot of people here. In order to avoid causing panic, let's find a quiet place to communicate."

"Well, let's go to the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade and have a private chat. I'll treat you. What do you think?"

"Then it will cost you money." Dumbledore nodded with a smile, obviously very satisfied with Sebastian's suggestion.

The two hit it off immediately and immediately came to the new town of Hogsmeade through the fireplace of the Ministry of Magic.

Sitting in the private room of the Three Broomsticks, Sebastian first ordered a deluxe meal for each of them, and then waved his wand to protect the entire room.

"Principal," Sebastian cut off a small piece of steak and put it in his mouth, "how did you know that Peter Pettigrew went to see the Dark Lord?"

Dumbledore did not rush to eat the seafood pasta in front of him, but first picked up the butterbeer on the table and took a sip.

"Arthur brought me a special message this morning."

"He said his son, Ron Weasley, had owled him a letter after seeing the news of Pettigrew's escape on wizarding television."

"The letter said that Ron heard Sybil make a prediction after the Divination exam."

Dumbledore shook his head slightly: "Sebastian, you should be aware of Sybil's reputation among students."

"So, after hearing the prophecy, Ron didn't take it seriously, but only shared it with his friends Harry and Hermione."

“But now, he’s worried whether the prophecy has been fulfilled.”

As he spoke, Dumbledore repeated the content of the prophecy to Sebastian.

After hearing the content of the prophecy, Sebastian put down his knife and fork in surprise, then picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.

Rats, demons, lions, dragons, and a thousand-year pattern?

I've never heard of this prophecy!

In the original book, Trelawney's prophecy was only about Peter's resurrection of Voldemort, and there was no lion or dragon or anything like that.

Does the dragon represent myself?

Sebastian shook his head gently, clearing the chaotic thoughts from his mind.

"Headmaster, if Peter wants to find the Dark Lord, then let him do it. His plan is nothing more than to resurrect the Dark Lord."

"You should know that the Dark Lord is now lingering in the forest of Albania. Peter must go to that forest if he wants to revive the Dark Lord."

"If you want to catch Peter, why not just go there and block him?"

Dumbledore smiled helplessly.

It's not that simple. Peter is not a problem at all. The real problem is Voldemort.

He is now hiding in the forests of Albania, causing no harm to those around him.

On the contrary, if he appeared there directly, Voldemort would most likely give up that hiding place.

If he then possesses other people like he did Quirrell, it would be troublesome.

"Sebastian, my headache is Voldemort's resurrection."

"We all know that Voldemort is currently in a state of neither life nor death. He can neither be captured nor destroyed."

"If we want to completely destroy him, we must wait for him to be resurrected."

"With Peter's help, Voldemort will definitely be resurrected, just as the prophecy just said."

Dumbledore sighed softly: "But after Voldemort is resurrected, I don't have a way to completely destroy him."

"After all, until now, I have not found out the secret of his immortality."

Dumbledore rubbed his forehead, looking a little tired.

He knew very well that if he couldn't figure out Voldemort's secret, there would never be a chance to defeat Voldemort completely.

In fact, he had some guesses in his mind, but he had never found any evidence to support his guesses.

Seeing Dumbledore's conflicted expression, Sebastian completely relaxed.

What did you think Old Deng was worried about?

That's it......

He picked up the knife and fork and continued to cut the steak on the plate, then spoke casually.

"Principal, don't worry about it. I know the answer to this question."

"Horcruxes are the secret of the Dark Lord's immortality."
