Chapter 321 In a Dream

In the magic factory, today's edition of the Daily Prophet is being reprinted frantically.

As the ink printing machine swept through, terrifying headlines were printed and real photos were posted.

"The wizarding world is crying, the return of the Dark Lord"

"The Minister of Magic is lurking, Fudge attacked and killed Dumbledore"

"The Ministry of Magic colluded with the Death Eaters, and the wizarding world will usher in changes"

"The shame of Beauxbatons, the defected headmaster"

"The Dark Magic issued a death declaration to Hogwarts"

......

As the latest newspapers were packaged and shipped out of the factory, and then sent to various places by owls, the news of Voldemort's resurrection and Dumbledore's "death" spread throughout the British wizarding world in the shortest time.

It was like a thunderclap that shocked all British wizards.

Countless owls began to fly to Hogwarts Castle again. Some people verified the information, and some people hurried to take their children home to hide.

In short, the bird droppings in Hogwarts made Filch scream in anger early in the morning.

Pah~!

Harry threw the newspaper heavily on the table, his face flushed, "They clearly know the situation of Principal Dumbledore, how can they write it like this?!"

"It's that woman Rita Skeeter, she always does whatever it takes to attract attention!" Ron couldn't help but complain when he saw the author column.

Harry nodded in agreement, but Hermione felt that it was just right. Such a report would make Voldemort relax his vigilance and take bold actions.

After dinner, Hermione took Harry to the school infirmary, where Dumbledore was lying quietly on the bed.

Ron came with him, but was stopped by Madam Pomfrey when he entered the school infirmary.

Ron wanted to go in, but he had no reason. He couldn't just join in the fun, at least in the case of Dumbledore.

There were also four deans at the scene, including Professor McGonagall.

"Hermione, do you really have a way to enter dreams?"

The professors present were all aware of Hermione's strength and had experience in dealing with ancient magic and this incident together. When Hermione told them that they could enter dreams to communicate with the old headmaster, they hesitated for a short time and chose to believe.

"No problem, but I can only take one person in, otherwise it will be too much of a mental burden for Headmaster Dumbledore." Hermione repeated Lu Yuan's words.

After hesitating, several professors finally looked at Harry. McGonagall said, "Then you two, we want to know if he has any extra arrangements and feasible suggestions."

The adjacent beds were ready, and Hermione and Harry lay on each side of Dumbledore.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, let's start!"

Lu Yuan didn't waste any words. A hazy wave suddenly came from the school infirmary. Under this wave, Hermione and Harry quickly fell asleep, and then were directly stuffed into Dumbledore's dream.

It was like falling into a psychedelic kaleidoscope. When Hermione and the others touched the ground again, they had already arrived at a valley. Unlike the reality of the fantasy world, the dream world had obvious blurred boundaries, and the scenery deflected and the scene changed from time to time.

"Where are we?" Harry looked up at the sun and could only roughly judge that it was afternoon at this moment.

"I don't know, maybe it's a place that the principal was impressed by, or it may be an unknown place imagined. Anyway, let's find Dumbledore first." Hermione chose a direction and led the way.

"How do you know it's this way?"

"Because the scenery over there is the clearest."

While walking, Hermione called Lu Yuan in her heart.

[I'm here, hurry up, you can't stay here for too long. ]

With the answer, Hermione's heart was at ease. Even if there was an accident, Mr. Lu Yuan could solve it.

The dream world was very strange. They just walked a few steps forward and came to a three-story building.

At this moment, Dumbledore, with a white beard, was comfortably tutoring a little blonde witch on the grass in the yard.

"Friends are coming to the house, Ariana." Dumbledore reminded.

"Then I'll go prepare candies for them."

After that, the little witch named Ariana took the initiative to stand up and smiled at the two, then quickly returned to the house.

As Hermione and the others approached, two chairs appeared on the grass.

"What's the situation outside? Tom didn't do anything bad after I fainted, right?" Dumbledore motioned for the two to sit down and said.

"Not yet, but with the propaganda of the Daily Prophet, all British wizards now know that the Dark Lord has returned and the great Dumbledore is dead. You can imagine how chaotic it is outside at the moment." Hermione complained.

Dumbledore smiled, "I believe Minerva and you can solve it, and at this time, the best result is that I am unconscious."

At this time, the blonde girl appeared with two plates of candies, introduced her name to everyone, and then tactfully made room.

Harry was confused at the moment. He didn't expect that the principal, who everyone outside was extremely worried about, was so awake at this moment, and was still dreaming like this.

Realizing that Harry might be thinking something impolite, Dumbledore explained: "That's my sister, Ariana Dumbledore, who died a long time ago."

Hearing this, Harry suddenly became embarrassed and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."

"It doesn't matter, let's talk about the purpose of your visit." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Hermione immediately said directly: "Professor McGonagall asked us to ask if you have any follow-up arrangements and relevant suggestions. Harry and I came here for Voldemort. You have created such a good situation. We must seize the opportunity to completely eliminate him."

Dumbledore smiled helplessly, "Your inquiries always make me feel like I am forced to work before school starts. However, these two things can actually be regarded as one.

After all, dealing with Voldemort will eventually fall on the two of you.

So please tell Professor McGonagall that in the future, while ensuring the safety of school students, we will try our best to cooperate with your actions. If any students choose to go home or make unwise choices, they don't need to be stopped."

After listening After that, Hermione resisted the urge to complain and said, "Thank you for your trust. We will tell you the original words, but we need some specific information, such as the number and location of the Horcruxes you mentioned before. I think this is the key to killing Voldemort."

"Of course, I will tell you all these. All the investigation clues have been placed in the gaps between the books on the third layer of the bookshelf in the office. You can go and see them yourself, but..." Dumbledore paused and said, "Some of the information above may not be detailed enough, Hermione, you can try to ask your relative."

Hermione was stunned when she heard this, and immediately said in her heart, "Mr. Lu Yuan, do you know the content related to Voldemort's Horcruxes?"

[Yes, I know. ]

"You know everything?!"

[Yes, I can see the timeline of the past. ]

Hermione was stunned, "Then, then, Mr. Lu Yuan, why didn't you tell me before?!"

[Although I didn't tell you directly, don't you already have clues now? 】

"But isn't this just a waste of time?"

Now Hermione finally knew why Dumbledore fainted so easily and didn't explain anything.

[The key is the process, Hermione. Thinking, reasoning, verifying, acting, and reflecting from the problem are all exercises. I can give you some tips in the process, but if I tell you everything in advance without any of your own judgment, what's the point? 】

Hermione's expression changed after hearing this, and finally sighed helplessly, "Okay, Mr. Lu Yuan, you are right, but it's time to tell me all the information?"

[Yes. 】

Outside, Dumbledore and Harry saw Hermione sitting there, her expression changing quite wonderfully, and finally came back to her senses, looking at Dumbledore with resentment, "Then Mr. Principal, when are you going to wake up? It's not good to keep us fighting outside, right?"

Dumbledore smiled kindly, "When Hogwarts needs me, I will wake up naturally."
