Chapter 108 Dumbledore's Plan

In fact, it is not surprising that Dumbledore is so cautious. There are too few people who can really do things in the magic world today.

What Dumbledore is most worried about now is that when he is old, no one in the British magic world can fight Voldemort.

Most wizards live long, but in ten years at most, even if Dumbledore holds the Elder Wand, it will be difficult for him to compete with Voldemort.

After all, fighting tests not only magical attainments, but also reaction ability and grasp of timing.

Hearing Snape say that Voldemort will not take the initiative to find him, Dumbledore was not too optimistic.

"What about you?"

Dumbledore said: "Since you plan to gain Voldemort's trust, you must go to the Albanian forest to meet him."

Snape's face did not change, "I will adapt to the situation."

At this point, Snape looked at Dumbledore, and his tone became more serious, "Since the Philosopher's Stone is in your hands..."

Before Snape finished speaking, Dumbledore raised his hand to stop Snape from saying the rest.

"The Philosopher's Stone is not omnipotent. It cannot stop the aging of the body." Dumbledore had met Nicolas Flamel, who was so old that even shaking hands would break his bones.

Dumbledore did not want to live like Nicolas Flamel.

Nicolas Flamel at least had a wife, but Dumbledore was alone, living in the world without even a spiritual sustenance.

He did not live long enough, but he was not afraid of death.

Let everything go with the flow.

The only thing Dumbledore was worried about now was actually Voldemort.

He led him into the magic world, and he taught him. He had to solve the troubles caused by Voldemort.

"Is there no other way?" Snape's eyes were a little complicated.

After some things this year, he had seen Dumbledore's plan and his worries.

Before finding out the secret of Voldemort's immortality, Dumbledore could not kill Voldemort, nor could he deal with Voldemort in the state of wandering spirits.

But Voldemort would always be resurrected.

If he fails this time, there will be the next time, and the next time, he will not fail all the time.

According to the prophecy, Harry Potter is the enemy marked by Voldemort himself, and he also has a power that Voldemort does not understand, which is Lily's love for her son.

So Dumbledore will place his hopes on Harry Potter.

But Harry...

Some people look at people with filters, while some people look at people with tinted glasses.

In Snape's eyes, Harry is stupid and arrogant, even worse than his father - James Potter is also stupid and arrogant in Snape's eyes, and he has no ability.

This is also the fundamental reason why Snape decided to go undercover next to Voldemort.

He always has to protect Lily's son.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, "Harry is the only hope."

"You promised me before." Snape was a little angry, this is different from what he had said before.

"I can still hold on for a few more years."

Dumbledore looked a little tired, "Severus, keep an eye on Malfoy during the holidays."

Snape looked puzzled, "Draco? What happened to him?"

"It's Lucius Malfoy."

Dumbledore said slowly, "I still have some influence with Fudge, and Arthur works in the Bureau of Misuse of Muggle Objects. During the summer vacation, I will ask the Ministry of Magic to search for dark magic items and Muggle items that have been illegally modified."

Snape frowned slightly. What is this old man going to do?

"I have mastered some of the secrets of Voldemort's immortality."

Dumbledore said slowly, "But I still need some evidence now."

"Do you think the evidence is in Lucius's hands?" Snape asked in a serious tone.

"I hope it's in his hands too."

Dumbledore said, "The Ministry of Magic should not be able to find anything, so I can only rely on you."

Snape nodded, "I will keep an eye on him. But... what exactly is the evidence you are talking about?"

"I don't know either." Dumbledore shook his head slowly.

There are many ways to prevent death in the magic world. The library of Hogwarts records nearly ten methods.

Horcrux is just one of them.

The reason why Dumbledore suspected that Voldemort made a Horcrux is that the method of making a Horcrux is recorded in the book "The Secret of Advanced Black Magic".

Voldemort is a dark wizard. If he wants to prevent death, he must use the most advanced black magic.

Snape's face was dark.

What do you mean you don't know?

You don't know, but you still asked me to find it. Are you sick?

"I just suspect..."

Dumbledore explained: "That thing can be any object, but it must be a dark magic item."

After thinking about it, Dumbledore added, "That thing may also have the effect of bewitching people."

Snape's face looked a little better.

As long as there is a clue, it's fine.

"I have been keeping an eye on Quirrell all this time. How is Collins recently?" After talking about Voldemort's big things, Dumbledore set his sights on the next student who might learn bad things.

Dumbledore had heard that Andy was the one who dared to read books on dark magic in the principal's office.

He was so unscrupulous.

Voldemort at least had some scruples when he was a student, but Andy didn't even have these scruples.

After all, Hogwarts couldn't expel students for learning dark magic, and peeking at banned books would only result in deduction of points and being locked up.

These punishments are not painful at all for Andy (not really).

Snape was unhappy when he heard this, "How should I know."

Since Andy planned to introduce his aunt to Snape, Snape didn't want to see Andy anymore.

And Snape suspected that Andy already knew about his school life. At this moment, Snape really wished he was still a Death Eater.

Learn about Obliviate and Cruciatus Curse.

"He came to my office last time and secretly... read the book "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed." Dumbledore wanted to say "peek", but Andy clearly read it openly.

That book actually records a lot of advanced dark magic.

Snape also became serious when he heard this, "How much did he read?"

"Only read for a while."

Dumbledore said: "Collins should have only read one chapter, he still has self-control, and finally put the book back."

"Then what are you worried about?" Snape asked.

Dumbledore briefly recounted the conversation that took place in the headmaster's office that day.

Andy did have some self-control, but the purpose of putting the book back was to deal with Dumbledore.

You see, I know that the real book will teach me bad things, so I won't read it.

"If the prophecy came true on Collins, you wouldn't have such a headache, right?" Snape didn't care about Andy learning the dark arts. What's wrong with learning the dark arts? He also learned it.
