MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 457 455. A New War Will Begin Soon
Chapter 457 455. A new war will start soon
Jon looked at the bottle of golden gravel in Dumbledore's hand and became thoughtful.
"So when we asked the current Voldemort to choose between Crouch and Snape at the beginning, it was actually a blind cat meeting a dead mouse? He didn't know the real role of Snape, just put He gave it to us as an object that could be discarded at will. It was not until later that he began to realize that something was wrong."
Dumbledore nodded.
"About what the previous Riddle relied on to obtain eternal life, the secret lies in these gravels. This is what Severus promised to do for me. He fled back to England, used himself to lure Riddle, and then helped us Take this bottle of stuff."
"His request is for you to guarantee the safety of Professor Potter?"
"He didn't make this request." Dumbledore said calmly, "Because he knows that even if he doesn't say anything about it, I will definitely do it. The reason why he is willing to help us in this way is actually because he thinks that the current The situation is no longer what it used to be. When we face Riddle, we are no longer a group of bereaved dogs like before, but there is a real possibility of retaking Britain. Snape realized that he had no After finding a way to win Riddle's favor, and the promise that the Death Eaters would not harm Lily could not be continued, I chose to sell Riddle completely, because only if we win, will Lily be truly safe."
Jon had already guessed about this, and now he just confirmed it from Dumbledore.
"Then what is his request?"
Dumbledore leaned back in the chair, there was no smile on his face, only a heavy one remained.
"That's what he got this trip."
Jon fell silent.
What did Snape get this trip?
is death.
To be able to die at the hands of Lily is his last request.
After finishing this conversation with Dumbledore, Jon left the principal's office.
Dumbledore asked Dumbledore to study the bottle of golden gravel, so he didn't need to bother so much.
And now, Jon is really free.
During the period after the Triwizard Tournament, there was a brief peace between Wupingxian and the British Ministry of Magic.
The two parties respectively occupy France and the United Kingdom, the two largest magic societies in Europe.
Similarly, the situation in Europe has undergone tacit changes. Originally, before the game, many magical governments were actually very inclined to Voldemort's side.
After all, his strength has been proven for a long time, and the theory of blood has really touched the hearts of those old moths in this continent, so that although these rulers did not say it clearly, they all intentionally moved closer to the "Great Mister" .
This is still under the condition that Grindelwald has integrated the whole of Northern Europe in advance. If he is still locked in that tower, before the Triwizard Tournament, the situation of Dumbledore and the others will only be more difficult, and even worse. Cutting off 80% of the logistical support also lacked a way out.
And after the end of the Triwizard Tournament, especially when Voldemort reluctantly agreed to Dumbledore's various unequal treaties that night, the Ministry of Magic, which was still close to the theory of blood, gradually began to see the situation clearly. stand up.
They did not immediately show their favor towards the Wuping Line, because it is obvious that Dumbledore has no threat to other magical regimes. They are now the maintainers of the existing order, and Voldemort is the builder of the new order.
It's just that the new order constructed by Voldemort shows no signs of advancement.
So when Voldemort is dominant, they need to get closer to Voldemort, because only in this way can these people become vested interests after the blood theory is fully popularized.
Now that Dumbledore has the upper hand, they naturally don't need to say anything, they just need to temporarily cut off the connection with the British Ministry of Magic, and then wait until Dumbledore really wins and join the celebration.
Therefore, since the end of the Triwizard Tournament, the whole of Europe has been in an illusion of peace.
It seems like the war never happened, and everyone is safe and sound in their respective territories, but in fact, there has been an undercurrent surging in private.
During this period, not only did Snape escape back to England, but was eventually killed by Lily. Voldemort One, who regained control of his identity, also used this gap to cleanse the entire British Ministry of Magic.
From Cornelius Fudge, who had been serving as Minister of Magic for eight years, down to ordinary office assistant Percy Weasley, all were dismissed.
After fifteen years, Voldemort, who regained control of his body, became extremely moody.
He distrusted everyone around him to the extreme, and he didn't even bother to pretend a little bit. Before what happened to Snape, he had already personally killed two of his subordinates who were slightly indifferent to his change of policy.
After what happened to Snape, because the Death Eaters were not doing well, he personally executed Nott who was mainly responsible for this matter.
Nowadays, almost everyone in the entire British Ministry of Magic is in danger. They would rather not do anything than make even the slightest mistake, for fear of dying in the hands of their masters for no reason.
As time went by, Voldemort seemed to be less and less willing to show his face. In the two months just after the end of the Triwizard Tournament, he showed his cruel methods and authority to his subordinates with high frequency. After the Nepe incident, he rarely appeared in public.
In the back, even the Death Eaters, few people can see him in person. It has always been Barty Crouch Jr., who has always been trusted by him, and is helping him to command the British magic remotely. operation of the department.
Of course, Dumbledore and the others also got some news about this matter.
At the most core meeting in the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore said in front of everyone that Voldemort was already a bit overwhelmed.
Voldemort, who now occupies the initiative in his body, doesn't know the secret of his other self's vigorous vitality. The reason why Voldemort is unwilling to see his subordinates is probably because he has no way to continue to maintain his original self. youthful face.
Actually, Voldemort didn't care about his appearance. What he really cared about was the strange feeling that his subordinates would feel in their hearts when they saw that he was actually starting to age.
Voldemort One is crazy, not stupid. He could naturally feel that at this time, the British purebloods had developed a somewhat unfaithful attitude towards him.
He is now purely relying on his absolute strength to inflict fear on them. Once this thing is gone, there is no need for Dumbledore to call in, and the British Ministry of Magic will start to chaos by itself.
This is not something that the Voldemort can see, and of course Dumbledore who is far away in France can also see it.
So from the very beginning, Wu Pingxian did not intend to keep the current peace for a long time.
Dumbledore made it clear that before the end of this year, they must take the initiative to start a war, a war to counter-attack Britain.
Outsiders don't understand why he is in such a hurry, but only those who know the inside story know that the reason for this urgency is because no one can guarantee whether Voldemort will continue to make Horcruxes in order to maintain his desire for eternal life.
This is very likely to happen.
After seeing Voldemort II take back all the former Horcruxes and become extremely wise and powerful, the current Voldemort I will definitely be a little afraid of Horcruxes.
After all, it was okay when I didn’t understand it at the beginning. Now that I know how much the split soul will be affected by people’s consciousness, no one can continue without the slightest psychological burden.
Even the half-mad Voldemort is the same, but if the situation in Britain continues to deteriorate, no one can guarantee that, no, he will definitely make this kind of behavior of drinking doves to quench his thirst, split his soul again, and maintain eternal life State, stabilize the situation.
And if such a situation occurs, Voldemort, who has a resurrection to rely on, will undoubtedly protect the newly created Horcrux more thoroughly. Even if Dumbledore can defeat him by then, he will be like an undefeated Xiaoqiang , like a sticky dog skin plaster, dragged down in the UK.
Then the situation will become what it was in the British wizarding world in the 1970s. This is obviously what Dumbledore and the others don't want to see, because compared with 20 years ago, there is not only the lunatic Voldemort, but also a person who is unknown today. Voldemort II, which is taking root and dormant somewhere, is quietly recovering its strength.
Not only will this not make the situation better, but it will also turn this war into a protracted war. This is undoubtedly a situation that everyone cannot accept.
Therefore, this war must start before Voldemort starts to remake the Horcruxes, and it must be done once and for all to prevent future troubles.
After talking about this matter, no matter whether it was within the Order of the Phoenix or Wu Pingxian, of course no one objected.
And after knowing that the current peace will not last long, the entire French magic world is secretly preparing, just as Iniesta promised Dumbledore at the beginning, Dumbledore helped them recover France, and they will also help The Order of the Phoenix counterattacks back to England.
This is the core of unity that the Wuping Line has been maintaining.
But of course the latter battle doesn't matter so much to the students of Hogwarts.
Now their situation is much better than that of the previous period of exile. Not only do they have a stable teaching place, but they don't need to live such a life of displacement.
And they naturally look forward to the day when they can return to the UK, because only when that day comes, can they reunite with their families, let this group of older students who almost forget what their parents look like , back to the family.
Jon started his summer vacation not long after he returned to school.
Only at this time can he be as leisurely as an ordinary student.
In the school, the relationship between the students on the carriage and him has not changed much, and Jon has never put on airs because of how much credit he has made, but the pure blood brought back from the castle As soon as the students saw him, they would bow their heads and walk around, as if they wanted to avoid some plague god.
These students can still live and live in Hogwarts normally. Of course, they are all selected and have not committed many evil things.
Even if some of them have bad conduct, at most they are just like Draco, who usually swears at mixed-race students, and there are very few aggressive methods. After all, mixed-race students know how to tolerate.
Even if they stayed in Hogwarts, they still had to do some transformational labor. At the same time, under Jon's suggestion, a moral education class was added to these people every day.
Preaching is useless in most cases, but if it is integrated with the environment and supplemented with other educational methods, it may be useful.
Even when the other Hogwarts students were avoiding Jon, after the summer vacation started, Draco, who was still working in school, found Jon in private one afternoon.
The young master of the Malfoy family has completely lost his previous arrogance at this time, and he is no longer wearing an exquisite robe, but just an ordinary school uniform like other ordinary students.
When he approached Jon, Jon was chatting with Cedric about Transfiguration.
"Ge, Mr. Green, can I have a chat with you alone?"
Draco used an honorific title, which was obviously a word that he would never say out of his mouth before.
After seeing this scene, Cedric greeted Jon very discerningly, turned around and left after finding an excuse.
At this time, Jon also turned his head and looked at Draco's subconsciously dodging eyes.
"Say it, it's just us here now."
"Hey, have you already been in contact with my dad in England?" Taking a deep breath, Draco asked this question.
When Lucius made a deal with Jon about ensuring Draco's safety, he was there, so of course he knew the content of the deal.
Jon didn't deny this.
"Your father also asked me about your situation here." Jon raised his eyebrows and said, "He is very grateful that you were not sent to the gallows, and he is even more grateful that he did not take you to that place A crooked road."
As if Jon's words had stirred up an extremely bad memory that day, Draco's face turned pale obviously, but he still insisted on gritting his teeth and asked Jon.
"Do I still have a chance? A chance to save my parents?"
Jon wasn't surprised by his question, he just looked at Draco calmly.
"It's not about whether you have the opportunity, but whether your parents are willing to seize such an opportunity. But judging from my contact with your father before, he doesn't seem to care much about this matter. "
