Chapter 148 To Defeat Voldemort, You Just Need Hands

After returning home, Andy went straight into the study, took out a piece of parchment, and wrote on it:

Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic's search, the magic items left by Voldemort, the Death Eater who escaped the trial, the Chamber of Secrets, the house elf suspected to be from the Malfoy family, and preventing Harry Potter from returning to Hogwarts.

If all these are connected...

Andy feels that the plot of the next semester has already unfolded in front of him.

Lucius Malfoy is the Death Eater who escaped the trial.

And Dumbledore's purpose is to force Lucius Malfoy to dispose of the magic items left by Voldemort.

As long as Lucius Malfoy takes action, Dumbledore can find clues.

"Hmm..." Andy pondered for a moment.

Dobby!

If Dobby is the house elf of the Malfoy family, why does it prevent Harry from returning to Hogwarts?

Draco Malfoy's prank?

If it is a prank, then Dobby will never show up in front of Harry, let alone reveal his master's plan.

It's impossible that Dobby betrayed his master of his own will?

This is impossible!

The loyalty of house elves to their masters is engraved in their bones. It is an ancient slave magic. Under the influence of magic, house elves will never betray their masters.

From this point of view, Andy has to overturn his previous guess.

Andy frowned slightly.

"When you eliminate all impossibilities, no matter how incredible the remaining is, it is the truth."

"So... will the house elves break the ancient slave magic contract of their own will?"

Andy pondered for a moment, and it is not impossible.

According to this line of thought, Lucius Malfoy did not privately dispose of the magic items left by Voldemort, but chose to send it to Hogwarts.

So Hogwarts will be very dangerous next semester!

That is, the Chamber of Secrets was opened.

And Dobby chose to prevent Harry Potter from returning to Hogwarts out of his own will.

"It makes sense!"

It seems that Lucius Malfoy is better in this game.

Andy's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Will Dumbledore be defeated by old Malfoy?"

"Well... it's not very strange. After all, Dumbledore lacks intelligence, and the Ministry of Magic's search has leaked the news early."

"As long as Lucius Malfoy is careful, he won't reveal any flaws."

"Tsk!"

Andy curled his lips, really wanting to see Dumbledore's frustrated expression.

...

At the same time, in the principal's office of Hogwarts.

Snape's face was slightly pale. He had seen Voldemort's residual soul.

"He is in a very bad state."

Snape reported: "Over the years, the Dark Lord has been wandering in the forests of Albania, absorbing the vitality of wild animals to restore his strength."

"This action has almost exhausted all his accumulation."

When he saw Voldemort this time, Snape almost couldn't help but take action.

If he couldn't beat Voldemort in his prime, could he not kill his residual soul?

Fortunately, Snape finally endured it.

Voldemort's current state is very special.

He is now on the border between life and death. He is neither alive nor dead.

He is not even a ghost.

Snape frowned and asked, "The Dark Lord is in a very special state now. How did he do it?"

Dumbledore's eyes were solemn. "That night, Voldemort's killing curse was rebounded by Harry... Many people say that Harry is the only one who survived the killing curse."

"But Harry just rebounded the killing curse. The one who really survived the killing curse... was actually Voldemort!"

Snape looked at Dumbledore. He also understood what happened that night. But now he wanted to know more about Voldemort's state.

Dumbledore continued to explain: "Under normal circumstances, Voldemort should have died. But he used some evil black magic to escape death."

"Voldemort is now between life and death. We have no means to harm Voldemort in this state."

Snape was puzzled, "Then what is he afraid of?"

"A lot!"

Dumbledore's wise eyes seemed to have seen Voldemort hiding in the forest of a distant country. "When people are at their weakest, they will be afraid of many things."

Without dwelling on this issue, Dumbledore looked at Snape. Asked: "How did your negotiation with Voldemort go?"

Snape said lightly: "The Dark Lord is indeed eager to resurrect. When I first met him, he wanted me to help him prepare for the resurrection, but he soon gave up."

"It's almost what I expected at first. He doesn't trust me now. And..."

At this point, Snape suddenly looked at Dumbledore, "The Dark Lord thinks you are old, and he wants me to confirm your current state."

To be honest, Snape was also very curious whether Dumbledore was still capable of fighting Voldemort in his prime.

After all, Dumbledore is more than a hundred years old this year.

His magical attainments may be getting stronger and stronger, but his physical condition, reaction speed, judgment and other qualities will decrease year by year as he gets older.

Dumbledore did not explain.

Haha! Do you know what the old wand is?

To fight Voldemort, you just need a hand!

Snape continued: "The Dark Lord gave me a task. He asked me to find a way to enter Azkaban and release an imprisoned Death Eater."

Dumbledore nodded, which was pretty much what he expected.

Dumbledore had this in mind when he originally asked Snape to meet Voldemort's remnant soul.

Voldemort did not trust Snape, and he also needed Snape to remain undercover with Dumbledore. Instead of asking Snape to help him resurrect, it would be better for Snape to find a way to release a Death Eater loyal to him.

Dumbledore thought for a moment and said, "If you have a chance, you can go to Azkaban and make some noise."

Snape nodded, he thought so too.

If Snape wanted to go back to Voldemort and work undercover, he had to do something.

"What are you going to do?"

Snape asked in a deep voice: "It's impossible to really release a Death Eater, right? I can delay it for a year or two at most."

"Also, I can't monitor Lucius's side."

Dumbledore nodded slightly when he heard this. He also understood Snape's difficulties and could not leave everything to him.

"One or two years..."

Dumbledore was in a dilemma. In one or two years, could Harry Potter grow up?

"One or two years is enough!"

Dumbledore said solemnly: "As long as I find out the secret of Voldemort's immortality, I will cast the spell myself..."

Snape: Got it.
