The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Dumbledore ignored the distraught Hermione and took Tom straight to his office. In the blink of an eye, the two of them sat down in the office.

After sitting down, Tom changed his position without any trace - the little bow Hermione tied on top of him made him feel a little uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to take it off privately, after all, Hermione had said that he was not allowed to take it off.

At this time, Dumbledore handed over a piece of parchment and motioned for him to read the contents on it first.

"A secret report..." Tom frowned, thoughtfully.

"Tom is going to make big moves again. This guy is always ambitious." Dumbledore chuckled softly. Perhaps when I first met him, I planted the seeds of victory through violence in his heart. Listening to Dumbledore's word "Tom", Tom felt a sudden shock in his heart. He knew that "Tom" here referred to Voldemort, but he still felt it was harsh.

After reading the secret report, Tom came to the same conclusion as Dumbledore: Voldemort was about to take action.

The secret report brought two pieces of news. One was that Voldemort had formed an alliance with the Japanese Ministry of Magic and a mysterious external force. The other was that Voldemort was recently planning to attack Azkaban and rescue his subordinates imprisoned there.

"Professor Dumbledore, I think we have run out of time." Tom placed the parchment on the table and tapped it lightly with his index finger.

Although Voldemort's progress was rapid, it was not unexpected. If it were him, Tom would attack Azkaban immediately and rescue his most loyal subordinates.

The presence of this valuable information in Dumbledore's hands means that Voldemort may go to Azkaban at any time, maybe next week, maybe tomorrow, or even now.

There was not much time left for Dumbledore's side.

Dumbledore sat quietly in his chair, folded his hands, and listened quietly to Tom's analysis.

"We should do something." Tom made his point clear.

In the original world line, Dumbledore adopted almost a replica of the four-step strategy of the British Foreign Office in the face of Voldemort's resurgence.

Voldemort's possession incident occurred in Harry's first grade, and the Chamber of Secrets incident occurred in his second grade. Voldemort's Horcruxes appeared in front of Dumbledore, but he still did nothing - pretended that nothing happened.

In the fourth grade, Voldemort made a comeback and Cedric died. At this critical moment, Dumbledore first summoned the Order of the Phoenix, and then fought a year-long war of words with the Ministry of Magic... At the same time, Voldemort recalled his The remaining troops broke through Azkaban and began to collect the prophecies of that year.

After Fudge's collapse, Dumbledore began to search for Voldemort's Horcruxes, and was cursed. He spent the entire sixth year searching for Horcruxes and accelerating the training of Harry. Finally, there was the Battle of the Astronomy Tower, where Dumbledore died.

Looking at the whole process, from a third-person perspective, Dumbledore's reaction was really slow, just like the British government facing an emergency.

But it's understandable. After all, Dumbledore, unlike Tom, lacks the necessary information. For example, after the diary was destroyed, Dumbledore may have really thought Voldemort was dead. Who would have thought at that time that a wizard would be crazy enough to make seven Horcruxes? Dark wizards in the past basically only made one or two Horcruxes, who would make seven at once!

Voldemort finally opened Dumbledore's eyes.

Due to a mistake in judgment, Dumbledore did not take any action throughout the third year, and nothing major happened at Hogwarts. It was just because Black escaped from prison that the whole school became nervous.

It was not until the end of the fourth year that Dumbledore noticed something strange, and finally determined that Voldemort had returned and that Harry was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes. Dumbledore took action. However, at this moment someone pulled his back.

Cornelius Fudge, he single-handedly successfully delayed Dumbledore and disrupted his preparations - Dumbledore was expelled from Hogwarts for a time!

Without Fudge's interference, Dumbledore would have been able to do more in the fifth year than battle wits with the Ministry of Magic. As a result, precious time was wasted by a clown.

Voldemort's power has expanded unprecedentedly this year, but at least there is good news: Dumbledore has finally shed his burden. After solving Fudge's problem, Dumbledore spent a year investigating the information, but his life also came to an end...

During this time, the Ministry of Magic seemed to be offline.

It is not easy for Dumbledore to be able to investigate so much information with the "help" of so many people holding back his efforts.

It seems that he has nothing to criticize, Dumbledore has done his best. He lost because he was too decent and was held back by the Ministry of Magic.

The current situation is much smoother than the original world line. At least two Horcruxes have been destroyed, and the remaining three Horcruxes are also known. More importantly, the Minister of Magic was replaced by Bones, who was more obedient, which solved his worries.

The cards in Dumbledore's hand are much better than those in the original novel. This card of mine can be regarded as a little king after all, right?

Although the advantage is huge, Tom feels that Dumbledore must also take action. If you continue to delay, you will miss the best window!

"This is a good opportunity, isn't it? We have traces of Voldemort," Tom's eyes brightened, as if there was a fire burning inside, "Then let Azkaban be his burial place. .”

Voldemort's whereabouts are mysterious, but if he wants to break into Azkaban, he must appear there. Otherwise, his group of subordinates would just be delivering food to the dementors. Then why not take advantage of his appearance to carry out a beheading operation?

Do you have to wait until he is ready, then both the good and the evil parties call their friends and have a decisive battle?

Anyway, after Voldemort took Harry's blood and resurrected, the goal in their plan had been achieved, so it was better to close the net and take care of the big fish Voldemort.

Dumbledore raised his head. Behind his crescent-shaped lenses were a pair of deep eyes.

"It seems a bit reckless to do this, and if I leave Hogwarts, it is likely to be attacked by Riddle." Dumbledore gave a rather conservative answer, which did not exceed Tom's expectations.
