"Mr. Dumbledore." Scrimgeour called out to him.

Dumbledore tilted his head and looked at the fireplace.

Fawkes was startled by the human head in the green flames, flapped his wings and flew away.

"Ah, Rufus, what are you looking for me?" Dumbledore walked in and asked.

Scrimgeour spoke quickly, "Mr. Dumbledore, bad news, a rebellion of elves numbering at least a hundred or more has now taken over Gringotts. ”

"And along with the rebel elves, there are Death Eaters."

"The Dark Mark has appeared above Gringotts!"

Dumbledore frowned.

"Mr. Dumbledore, the wizarding world needs your salvation now." Scrimgeour took a deep breath, slowed his pace, and said solemnly, "And Mr. Potter." ”

"Only you can solve this problem."

He didn't hesitate.

Although it was humiliating for him to do so as a Minister of Magic, he knew very well that his face was nothing compared to the peace of the wizarding world.

Is it possible to save face and solve this big trouble by yourself?

Do you want to be like Cornelius Fudge?

Dumbledore shook his head.

Scrimgeour was stunned.

What does shaking head mean?

"Harry isn't at Hogwarts right now." Dumbledore whispered, "For some special reasons, I can't leave Hogwarts right now. ”

Scrimgeour was blinded.

His mind was completely messed up, and it was over, and he couldn't count on the two Dinghai Divine Needles he relied on this time.

"Don't panic, Rufus." Dumbledore comforted him.

Scrimgeour shook his head: "I can't help but panic, Mr. Dumbledore, neither you nor Mr. Potter can help, and with the power of the Ministry of Magic alone, there is no way to deal with that large group of elves, let alone a powerful Death Eater." ”

Dumbledore whispered, "Perhaps, that Death Eater wasn't some powerful wizard. ”

Scrimgeour looked at him, "Crouch doesn't look like an easy guy to deal with. ”

"Crouch has long been caught by Harry." Dumbledore said, "I'm still imprisoned in Hogwarts. ”

Scrimgeour was stunned, this news was something he had never heard before.

"That dark wizard in Gringotts isn't Crouch." Dumbledore whispered, "The other powerful Death Eaters are long dead, in Malfoy Manor, you know that. ”

Scrimgeour nodded, "So we're dealing with goblins." ”

"Harry will be back soon, too." Dumbledore prompted him.

Scrimgeour regained his composure: "I see, Mr. Dumbledore. ”

"Then I'll go to Gringotts first."

"However, I still hope that you and Mr. Potter will be able to come to support when they are done."

He said goodbye to Dumbledore, his head disappearing into flames, and the green turned orange again.

Dumbledore pushed his glasses and stared at the flames.

A powerful Death Eater who appeared in Gringotts

Needless to say, it was Snape.

Is it trying to lure yourself out of Hogwarts when you make such a big commotion?

This is similar to the conjecture he had made with Harry.

What Voldemort had in mind about Hogwarts.

He beckoned, and the map of the living spots hanging on the wall flew and landed in his hand, and he sat by the fireplace, staring at it earnestly.

Hogsmeade.

Screaming outside the shack.

Karkaroff apparitions emerge, wearing a pointed wizard's hat that obscures the Ravenclaw tiara.

Voldemort peered into the world through his eyes.

"A familiar breath." He let out a low sigh and laughed.

Then, raise your wand and wave it lightly.

One by one, complex spells were cast and fell on oneself.

Crouch spoke to him.

Potter and Dumbledore were in their possession of a map that showed the names of everyone who appeared in Hogwarts.

Crouch was a little puzzled by how exactly they did it.

But with Voldemort's insight, with his knowledge, it is not difficult to understand.

The book of access, the pen of acceptance.

These two items that have signed a contract with Hogwarts can be achieved by putting a portion of the contract on the map.

Very ingenious approach.

But.

Now that the principle is known, there is a way to crack it.

The spells he cast on himself could not completely prevent the contract from taking effect, but they were completely sufficient as concealment.

After all, he came here to achieve his goal.

It's not for the sake of studying here.

All the spells were cast, and Karkaroff had a strange gray texture.

He followed the path he had traveled for four years and was unusually familiar to Hogwarts.

The crowd gradually thinned out, and at the end, a locked iron gate and two stone statues blocked the way to continue on.

The two stone statue probes glanced at Karkarov and did not react.

They're guarding here.

Prevent young wizards from leaving the school outside of weekends, and prevent unauthorized outsiders from entering the school.

But.

The magic on their bodies works on the same principle as the living point map, and they all identify people through contracts.

Voldemort hides himself and escapes from the contract.

In the eyes of the stone statue.

He's an unusually large tumbleweed, or an ordinary animal with no magical powers, or anything else that doesn't threaten.

Voldemort pulled out his wand and aimed it at the iron door.

The Ahora Cave opens.

Basic spells learned in the first grade.

Now he's back at Hogwarts and he's putting it back to Hogwarts.

The door opened, but the statues remained unmoved.

Voldemort walked in, down the Black Lagoon, all the way to Hogwarts Castle, but not too close.

He manipulated Karkaroff to take off his hat and throw him into the water.

With a wave of his wand, he conjured a golden platform with chest height.

He placed his wand on the stage.

He took off his Ravenclaw crown and solemnly placed it on the stage.

After taking off the crown, Karkaroff seemed to regain some consciousness and his eyes became terrified.

But the body still can't move.

"Your consciousness seems to be a little stronger than I thought." The voice came from the crown, a little surprised.

"Lord, master." Karkaroff's voice came out between his teeth.

"Karkarov, my dear friend." Voldemort sighed, "I thought you would be my best helper. ”

"But when I lost power, you were the first to betray me."

Karkarov's expression and voice were aggrieved together: "No, master, I didn't, I just."

"Just what?" Voldemort interrupted him with a sneer, "Hibernate and wait for me to return?" ”

The Kakarov chick pecked at the rice and nodded.

"Really?" Voldemort whispered, "Then I'll prove your loyalty to me, Karkaroff." ”

"Contribute your strength to my resurrection."

He said.

Karkarov's face became even more frightened.

He felt the magic in his body drain away, and it flowed quickly towards the golden platform.
