v4 Chapter 116: Backing down will only give Voldemort an edge

Days of Drawing Cards at Hogwarts Chapter 116 Resignation will only make Voldemort an inch

Tom and Hermione rushed all the way to the door of the principal's office, and the drip-mouthed stone beast at the door let them in without even asking them for the password.

Tom ran all the way, three and two steps up the spiral staircase and into Dumbledore's office.

As soon as Tom opened the door, he said loudly, "Professor Dumbledore, we can't give in any more! Concession will only give Voldemort an inch, and we have to take the initiative!"

Tom thought a lot before coming in, determined to get Dumbledore to summon the members of the Order of the Phoenix to do a blow to Voldemort's Death Eaters. But when he saw Dumbledore, all the big ideas he had prepared were stuck in his throat.

Dumbledore looked extra tired today, his sapphire eyes filled with burnout. Only then did Tom realize that the old man in front of him was already 112 years old.

Dumbledore is often referred to with numerous honorary titles, but few associate him with the word aging. He was always in good spirits, full of energy, and this was the first time Tom had seen him showing signs of fatigue.

It is not difficult to understand that Dumbledore and Tom first squatted in Azkaban in the past two days, and then fought with Voldemort. Not long after returning to Hogwarts, he received another secret letter. After learning that Voldemort was going to capture Azkaban, he rushed to Azkaban without stopping. This time, I didn't meet Voldemort, but I met a group of Ministry of Magic officials who were almost scared. After he had reassured the officials of the Ministry of Magic, Tom came to the door again...

The intensity of work during this time was a bit over the top for Dumbledore. It is a miracle that an old man of this age can move, let alone such a high-intensity rush.

After Dumbledore saw Tom, he rubbed his brows and cheered himself up, motioning Tom and Hermione, who was panting, to sit down first.

"Invincible begins with the sacrifice of ancestors"

"I've always admired the inexhaustible strength of you young people." Dumbledore smiled wryly at Tom, "I just ran a few places and couldn't hold on anymore, it's great to be young!"

"If you are willing to take the Philosopher's Stone, you can also go back to the state of your youth." Tom's words came from the bottom of his heart.

Dumbledore and Nicole May have a good personal relationship, and it is not difficult to get the Philosopher's Stone - Nicole May even directly asked Dumbledore to keep the last Philosopher's Stone for him. Dumbledore, who takes the Philosopher's Stone, can naturally regain his youth.

Then Voldemort is about to fight Dumbledore in his prime, and Voldemort takes the head and fights him! Tom can lie flat.

Facing Tom's proposal, Dumbledore just smiled and didn't answer, he took the initiative to provoke another topic.

"Yordle, you ran to me in such a hurry, presumably because you saw the headlines in the newspaper tonight?" Dumbledore looked a little regretful: "I'm not sure if it was the disclosure of the Azkaban escape. Not a good thing, but I'm sure the kids' Christmas was ruined."

Isn't it! With such a thing happening, almost no one will focus on Christmas.

"Professor, the Ministry of Magic is still reluctant to admit that Voldemort is back?!" Seeing Dumbledore's haggard appearance, Tom had a bad intuition.

Hearing Tom's question, Dumbledore's face darkened. He shook his head and told Minister Tom Burns that it was too early, and she objected to prematurely telling the people that the wizarding world was facing another threat from Voldemort.

"So she admits Voldemort did it?" Tom saw the change in the Ministry's attitude from the details of Dumbledore's speech - they finally stopped asking for evidence.

The previous attitude of the Ministry of Magic was:

[Dumbledore: Voldemort is doing something, we need to prepare

Ministry of Magic: There's no evidence that it's You-Know-Who is doing it]

Now their attitude has changed subtly:

[Dumbledore: Voldemort!

Ministry of Magic: Don't shout so loudly, don't scare the others! 】

It is a good thing to have such a change.

The fall of Azkaban shocked the upper echelons of the Ministry of Magic and made them realize that they had to strengthen cooperation with Dumbledore, so they were relieved.

It is sad enough to say that Dumbledore is the strongest wizard in the magical world, and he is literally regarded as a **** in the temple by this group of people, and he only goes to worship when he is in trouble.

Hermione on the side listened to Tom and Dumbledore sip "Voldemort" one by one, and goosebumps developed on her arms. Although she grew up in the Muggle world, the attitude of the surrounding classmates towards Voldemort had a subtle influence on her, which made her fear that name.

At this time, she was so nervous that her palms were all sweaty.

"Yordle, tell me what you think?" Dumbledore decided to hear what Tom thought, although he had already guessed what Tom thought.

"Professor, answer me a question first, how did you know the news?"

Ashamed to say, Tom, as the owner of Azkaban and the king of Dementors, actually only learned about the Azkaban prison robbery through newspapers.

He usually ridiculed that the British Foreign Secretary had to learn about the drastic changes in British politics only through TV news. As a result, at the critical moment I was actually the same as them! It can only be said that the assimilation by Great Britain is very thorough.

"Malfoy's house-elf appeared in the Hogwarts kitchen and asked the school elf to hand over Lucius' note." Dumbledore told Tom what happened to him a few hours ago.

It turned out that Lucius deliberately left a loophole when he gave Dobby the order, and there was no limit to which kitchen Dobby would go to to get refreshments. So Dobby, who got the hint, went straight to the Hogwarts kitchen to deliver the important message.

"I see, so the headquarters of the Death Eaters are at Malfoy Manor, right!"

It is not difficult to conclude from Dobby's whistleblower that Voldemort and his servants are entrenched in Malfoy Manor.

Tom looked at Dumbledore seriously and said his thoughts: "I suggest that you immediately summon the members of the Order of the Phoenix and go directly to Malfoy Manor, where you will fight the Death Eaters to the death!"

Tom said eagerly: "Although the number of Death Eaters at this time is large, many of them are prisoners who have just escaped from Azkaban. They are very weak and cannot form a fighting force at all. Instead, the Death Eaters have to be separated. Someone to take care of them. Now is the time when they are weakest, if they don't take the initiative at this time, it will be too late when they recover!"
