Chapter 326: The Plan

This is the material that someone gave me this morning. Dumbledore picked up a stack of papers on the table and handed it to Ryan, who took the information and opened it page by page. It was discovered that Harry had released a magic spark directly after Voldemort escaped yesterday, and rescuers soon found him through the traces on his wand. And on that island came the corpses of Barty Crouch Jr. and Peter.

After reuniting with Harry, the rescuers also listened to Harry tell about the castle and a little girl named Lyanna. But everyone thought that Harry's story of a seven- or eight-year-old girl beating off Voldemort was just his hallucination.

Fortunately, Dumbledore believed Harry, and he was the first to go to the ruins of the castle and put out the flames. In the follow-up search, the ledger and a large amount of information left by Ryan in the basement were found. Soon, he and several faculty members and members of the Transylvanian Ministry of Magic arrived to search for the captives. It was at this time that Ryan and the others were found by Moody.

The materials seized from the castle have all been collected by the Transylvanian Ministry of Magic, but Professor Dumbledore has made a copy. Among them is evidence of many of those vampires operating in the UK.

I think that little girl may have become a wizard after drinking the compound decoction, but we have never figured out why such a strong person chooses to become a child. When Ryan read the document again, Dumbledore said next to him.

Maybe to make others lose their vigilance. Ryan wouldn't say that it was because he was not ready to make only this vest available. At least ordinary people tend to take children lightly.

Dumbledore nodded in agreement with this reason, and Ryan quickly read the materials and said to everyone in the office: I think I have a way to make everyone more vigilant now.

How? Harry asked eagerly.

It's very simple, whether it's the kidnapping of the three students or the illegal things that the people in this document did in the UK, it can prove that the dark wizards and criminal acts that once disappeared after the war in the British wizarding world have begun again. A large number of breeding. In this case, as a leader in the wizarding world, Professor Dumbledore, of course, you need to call on everyone to unite to maintain the stability of the British wizarding world.

Don't we need to tell the public that the man is back? Professor McGonagall questioned.

No need, Professor McGonagall. Ryan shook his head. After all, for the general public, the Ministry of Magic controls the source of information, and if everyone is unwilling to believe that the mysterious man is back, it is useless and even counterproductive if the Ministry of Magic does not cooperate with it. So we simply find another way. Squeeze the living space of dark wizards from other angles.

Ryan's idea is more feasible, because Harry brought back the news yesterday that he observed that there may be a problem with the potion that Voldemort resurrected, causing his body to collapse. At this time, he should find a way to make up for this problem. It is estimated that I haven't had much time to do things in the wizarding world recently. Dumbledore explained briefly. In this case, if I say that Voldemort is back recently, everyone may not see any attacks. Then I will become a liar in their mouths, and it will not help everyone unite against Voldemort.

Body breakdown? Ryan and Hermione asked in unison, Dumbledore smiled and said to the two of them: Since you are standing here, then you have the right to know these things. Yes, Voldemort used it to recast yesterday. There's something wrong with the potion for the body, and it's thanks to the bottle you sold Harry, Ryan.

What? Ryan was a little confused. He was also an experiencer yesterday, seeing Harry and Barty wrestling there from a distance. I really can't figure out what has to do with my medicine.

Barty Jr bit me in the face yesterday and spat my blood into the cauldron, Harry explained, and Ryan finally knew why the man had raised his head inexplicably yesterday. But he bit me twice, and the first bite broke the glass bottle you gave me, so what he spit into the pot was some of your potion.

So this time it's better than I thought. Dumbledore continued Harry's words, Severus just told us that the potion used to recast the body requires very high precision, and now because of various It's a coincidence that too many impurities were mixed into this potion when it was put into the final material. In addition to Harry's blood, which is needed by itself, there are also a series of potions such as dragon blood, unicorn blood and sunlight, and even Barty's blood. and saliva.

In addition to this, each step of this black magic ritual requires very precise timing and operations. And Voldemort's magical ritual not only dragged time on the last step, but even the most important cauldron was attacked by magic. The combination of these results in that Voldemort did not appear in a fully recovered state after the ceremony, and even said that it was not as good as his original ghost state. At least at that time, he could still be immune to attacks by virtue of that state. Rather than needing to hide around now with a fragile body from multiple mistakes.

And what Voldemort needs to do to save his body on the verge of collapse may be more troublesome than resurrection. You must know that sometimes the process of removing impurities from the whole is even more troublesome than doing a new one.

We can just take this opportunity to organize people to hunt him down, and at the same time follow Ryan's suggestion to make everyone vigilant. Because to remove the impurities Voldemort needs some very precious potions and magic materials, and these things do not Uncommon. We can slow down his recovery by monitoring the flow of these potions once everyone is activated.

As expected of an old man who has experienced two wizarding wars, he came up with the most suitable plan at once. And looking at Dumbledore's expression, these plans should have been drafted for a long time.

Think about it too, when Ryan handed him the notebook Horcrux in the second year, Dumbledore should have thought that Voldemort would come back and prepared accordingly. And now it's back with a severely weakened Voldemort, which should be better than Dumbledore thought at the time. No wonder Dumbledore had a relaxed look on his face.

Now I'm also glad that I just had a fight with Fudge and not a complete breakdown. Dumbledore said: So I can now ask the Ministry of Magic to help monitor the abnormal flow of various magical materials.

Aren't we going to make this public? Professor McGonagall asked.

It will be made public, but not now. Dumbledore said: At least now we, like the Ministry of Magic, have to hide this news, so as to avoid panic buying in the market and hide what we really need to pay attention to. For these more important I am willing to make concessions to Fudge and the Ministry of Magic.

Then how do we tell the students? Professor McGonagall asked again. Yesterday's alert filled the school with all kinds of rumors, and even foreign students knew that someone had been kidnapped. In this case, there must be a plausible excuse to appease everyone.

Let's just say that two prisoners who escaped from Azkaban tried to negotiate terms with the Ministry of Magic by kidnapping the warriors of the Triwizard Tournament. At the same time, they also contacted foreign vampires to start together. But all this was stopped by a passing justice wizard. Yes, the hostages have been rescued, and the two kidnappers committed suicide in desperation. At the same time, we would like to express our gratitude publicly to the unknown wizard of justice.

Old Deng's level of nonsense is also good, at least Ryan didn't hear any loopholes in this sentence.

In the end, Dumbledore told Harry and his three students that they should not speak out about Voldemort's return, and then sent them away. It is estimated that he and Professor McGonagall will arrange for members of the Order of the Phoenix to prepare to hunt down Voldemort with Professor McGonagall.
