After coming out of the Ministry of Magic, the two went straight back to Hogwarts, and no one knew when Voldemort would choose to come, but it must have been tonight.

Hogwarts' defenses have been activated, and the junior wizards have been taken away by Professor McGonagall, and the rest is not a bunch to mess with.

All that's left is to wait for the arrival of that group. The show is about to begin.

Dudley first asked Dumbledore for the Elder Wand (pseudo), and placed a plain milky stone on top of the wand.

"Professor Dumbledore, I suggest you wear these special gloves and don't touch them directly."

"The radiation values above are high."

As he spoke, Dudley handed Dumbledore a pair of gloves made of special material.

Although Dumbledore didn't know what the radiation value was, he knew from the name that it must not be a good thing, so he gladly accepted it, anyway, his current hand should be in a state of 'injury', just to cover it up.

"A little more disguise, Professor. Don't forget that you took a deadly poison not long ago. ”

Dudley scrutinized Dumbledore's face for a moment before handing over a white potion.

Dumbledore took the potion and drank it all, smacked his mouth a few times after drinking, and commented: "The taste of lychee is a little sweet, is there anything else?" ”

"Don't be too picky, eating too sweet is not good for your health."

Dudley replied lightly, "It's a potion, not a drink." ”

"The potion you made tasted like a drink."

During the conversation between the two, Dumbledore's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, bloodless and lifeless.

Of course, he just looked bad, and Dumbledore himself was not at all healthy, not at all like an old man in his hundreds.

"You need to be weaker, or you won't be able to fool Senior Tom."

Dudley commented, then pulled out another ring and handed it to Dumbledore, "You put this on just in case." ”

The exterior of the ring looks unremarkable, except for a blood-red gemstone set at the top.

Dumbledore had no doubt about him, and put the ring on his index finger.

At this time, the two people who were still chatting paused at the same time, and looked at one place in the castle, that location, the Room of Requirement.

"Here we are."

In the room where there is a request, the dusty disappearing cabinet that has been sealed for a long time began to tremble constantly, and the next second. The cabinet door was pushed open.

The Death Eater Antonin Dolokhov came out of it.

I saw that he looked around for a while and found no abnormality, and then shouted into the disappearing cabinet: "Everything is normal." ”

The next one to emerge from inside was the iconic big bald head.

Voldemort.

"The atmosphere of Hogwarts is still so nostalgic."

Voldemort looked at the furnishings of the Room of Requirement and sighed.

"Master, you were a former Hogwarts student too?"

Dolokhov asked curiously, but he soon realized that he shouldn't be too talkative.

Voldemort gave him a cold look, and just that glance made him feel his blood freeze all over his body.

"Don't ask more questions if you shouldn't."

After saying that, Voldemort looked away, and Dolokhov breathed a sigh of relief, and at that moment he felt like he couldn't breathe.

The third to emerge from it was Bella and then Barty Jr., both of whom had been Hogwarts students, but neither had ever been to the Room of Requirement.

One by one, the Death Eaters came out of the cabinets, and almost everyone was lamenting the magic of the vanishing cabinets, which was more convenient than the keys to the door to be able to connect two places and ignore the effect of the forbidden apparition apparition charm.

Voldemort walked over to the room where the crown had been stored, and he looked at the empty shelves above, not knowing what to think.

"Master, all the personnel are here."

The room was filled with Death Eaters, silently waiting for Voldemort to give orders.

"Your mission is to find Dumbledore and kill him, and now he is too weak to beat even a child."

Voldemort said with murderous intent, and then said, "Of course, if you find Harry Potter. Then bring him to me. ”

He came here to kill Dumbledore, Harry's kind of young wizard who hasn't graduated yet, he can kill him at any time.

If you find it, then kill it as a lottery head, and it's not a pity if you can't find it.

"And the one named Dursley, who will be killed if he finds out."

For Dudley who played him several times, Voldemort naturally remembers it vividly.

Today's focus is on Dumbledore, though.

"Bella, little Barty, follow me."

Voldemort commanded, "Let's go find Mr. Snape, and the rest of us will release the Dark Mark when we find Dumbledore." ”

At this time, Voldemort was elegant like a gentleman, but it was a pity that that hateful face would not be recognized as a gentleman no matter how you look at it.

There was no sound in the whole castle.

However, a few people did not find it strange, because at this time, there were at most a few professors patrolling the castle at night.

Unbeknownst to all the Death Eaters, their every move was displayed on a huge crystal screen.

"This crystal is really handy."

Dumbledore sighed.

It was Dudley's alchemical product based on the principles of the four 'Marauders' (James, Sirius, Lupin, and Peter) making parchment scrolls, combined with the representation of the monitor.

It is also the most important link in the castle's defense system.

Intelligence is always the first element.

Voldemort made his way to the professor's quarters and pinpointed Snape's room

"Welcome, master."

"I know you're going to be here."

Snape seemed to have anticipated Voldemort's arrival, and his clothes were neatly dressed.

"Come with us."

Voldemort smiled and said, he was in a very, very good mood at this time, not to mention entering Hogwarts smoothly, he would soon see the end of his henchmen's troubles, how did you make him unhappy?

"Whoosh!"

A large green skeleton appeared in the sky, and a venomous snake appeared and disappeared from its mouth.

"Looks like they've spotted Dumbledore."

Voldemort said that he felt that today was really his lucky day, and that he would do whatever he wanted.

"Let's go." He commanded.

Voldemort walked in front, Bella followed closely behind him, Barty Jr. and Snape followed behind the two side by side, no one noticed the two in front of them, at this time, Snape's eyes did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional, glanced at Barty Jr. on the side, and what was even more surprising was that Barty Jr. nodded slightly at Snape.
