It's too unsatisfactory to put it mildly, if it weren't for Moody's ex-Auror being there, and to give him face, Dudley would have said something like, "This bunch of rubb in the Auror office might not be able to beat our fourth-year classmates."

The key is that this may well be true. The progress of the fourth year, which was the famous king of the rolls at Hogwarts. Now that he has learned Durmstrong's magic, his knowledge is not comparable to that of wizards who are new to the Aurors.

Before Dudley entered Hogwarts, there was no Duelist Club, and in a sense, these young wizards who graduated from Hogwarts had basically zero actual combat experience.

A pure academic wizard

The key to entering the Auror audit is to only look at the results, look at the knowledge reserve, not look at the actual combat.

Many people are strong in theory and a group of people who are pulled across in actual combat.

Imagine a group of Aurors with no real combat experience rushing into battle. They are faced with a group of murderous and vicious dark wizards.

In other words, they can afford to deliver food.

The reason why the Aurors' damage is so high is largely due to the lack of combat lessons.

The only good thing Lockhart did in his second year was to open the Duelist Club, which Dudley held regularly.

Except for a few Auror elites, the other Aurors really can't beat the little wizards who have nothing to do and have a duel.

"As far as I know, an Auror squad is missing."

Dudley spoke again, and the news made both Dumbledore and Moody frown at the same time.

They had no doubts about the accuracy of the message, Dumbledore had just been told by Fudge, and Moody. What Dudley was able to tell them was confirmed information.

Although the Aurors were degraded by Dudley for nothing, every wizard who became an Auror was great, and they were the ones who fought on the front lines of the battle against the Dark Wizards.

Each and every one of them has a dream.

There are not many wizards who want to become an Auror every year, and even fewer wizards who can actually become an Auror through training.

According to Dudley's information, according to the original trajectory, throughout 1995. That is, next year, not a single wizard will become an official Auror through Auror training.

Every Auror is a precious resource.

And now that an entire Auror squad is missing, it's a serious problem.

No wonder Fudge was so nervous.

Theoretically, it was the Auror chief of staff who was responsible, and it was he Fudge who ordered the search for the missing 'Bertha Jorkins'.

Dudley has always believed that the phrase 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility', is nonsense, and the correct understanding should be 'the greater the power, the greater the responsibility', since you enjoy the convenience brought by power, you should bear the corresponding obligations.

If he can't do it, he will simply get out of here, and he will not have the ability to rely on the position that should not belong to him, and give some mediocre orders, and even occasionally do things to drag his teammates back, this kind of person is more harmful than a Death Eater in the upper position.

Of course, waste also has the benefit of waste, that is, obedience if you don't even have this one. Wait until there is no use value at all. That's when you step down completely.

"Do you know who did it?" Moody asked in a deep voice, the only remaining one-eyed looking at Dudley earnestly.

He was once an Auror and was proud of it, even now retired.

The destruction of an entire Auror squad would be an unimaginable loss for the Auror Office, not only for the Ministry of Magic, but also for the wizarding world as a whole.

"Most of the dark wizards with deep mana are in Azkaban, and the other little shrimps don't have the ability to kill the Auror team without missing any of them."

"Yes and only that Tom senpai."

"Bastard! This damn lunatic! ”

Moody cursed and slammed his fist into the seat.

Dumbledore's face was as usual, after all, he had known the news for a long time.

"It's exactly what Tom does, so we're going to take advantage of this opportunity while he's not fully recovered. Destroy him completely. ”

"It's too difficult, Professor." Dudley shook his head, "I'm afraid that even if we eliminate him this time, he will appear next time, unless we can completely eliminate him." ”

Dumbledore's face changed slightly, and his blue eyes stared at Dudley, "You know.?" ”

"Able to save him from death. There is only one way to do it."

Dudley looked at Dumbledore as well, "You should have guessed that, too." ”

Dumbledore's eyes flickered, "I'm not sure, I haven't confirmed it from the professor who probably taught him in the first place"

"Why do you have to prove it? Think about this with the worst possible. ”

"And how many do you think he made?"

Just as Dudley was about to answer him, Moody interrupted him.

"What the hell are you talking about? What's a few、Next time? Could it be that he still has a few more failures? Sibling? ”

Moody looked at the big and small depressedly, and he didn't understand a word after playing dumb riddles here for a long time.

"Professor Moody, in a sense, it's true that brothers are true."

"Say something I can understand." Moody's was even more depressed.

Dumbledore sighed, "Horcruxes. We suspect Tom made the Horcruxes."

"What?!"

Moody had a look of shock on his face, apparently he knew about the Horcrux as well.

"You mean. The one that makes life worse than death."

Horcruxes are very evil things, not only because they are made in such a way that they need to kill people, but also because splitting souls is cruel to oneself, and it is taboo in the wizarding world.

Any study involving the soul is taboo.

"That's right."

Dumbledore replied.

"But no one should know how to make that evil thing, isn't the method lost?"

The method of making the Horcrux is missing, otherwise many dark wizards will choose to make this thing if it is circulated.

"No, there was a person at Hogwarts who knew how to make Horcruxes."

"Who?"

"Horace Slughorn."

Moody was silent.

If it were someone else, Moody would definitely express disbelief but if it was this person.

The Slughorn family is also the oldest existence among the so-called pure-blood divine twenty-eight clans, and if it were him, it was really possible.

If Voldemort did make a Horcrux, that's the most troublesome. If he doesn't destroy the Horcruxes, he's immortal.

"What should we do?"

"Destroy all of his Horcruxes."

"All? He made more than one? ”

"So far, we've destroyed two."

Moody opened his mouth, and only then did he understand what Dudley meant by 'brother'.

"How many do you think he made?"

All the problems are back to square one.

"Seven is a very magical number, and I heard that Senior Tom was very obsessed with the number 'seven' when he was a student."
