Raven's Claw at Hogwarts

Chapter 393 Plan Agreement
Mike didn't speak, frowning, waiting for Dumbledore's answer.

Seeing this, the latter shook his head and said helplessly:
"Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that Voldemort is stronger than me. We simply can't kill him on the spot."

"Are you kidding me? You're Dumbledore."

"No, I don't, Voldemort is indeed stronger than me. If I were 30 years younger, I could still defeat Voldemort now, but not now, after all, I am over 100 years old this year. Mike, in Muggle legends, wizards should It's true that the older you get, the stronger you get, but that's not the case. Wizards do live longer than Muggles, but there's a price to pay. And that price is magic.

To put it simply, wizards will accumulate a lot of magic power when they are young, but when they are old, the magic power will continue to feed back to the body to maintain the continuation of body functions, but in this way, the wizard's magic power will gradually decline. "Dumbledore continued, "Of course, although my magic power has declined, the foundation is still there.Although I admit that Voldemort is stronger than me, the gap between us is not that big.We are in a situation where no one can kill anyone, because as long as one of us wants to run away, the other has nothing to do.

But the only difference is that even if Voldemort confronts me, he will still have enough energy. At this time, those of you who fight with me will be out of luck.What's more, Voldemort still has some unknown means of saving his life, so forget your plan. "

Dumbledore’s long series of speeches made Mike a little disappointed, although when he was reading the original book, Mike guessed that Dumbledore’s strength might be weaker than Voldemort’s (otherwise Dumbledore would just rush forward and kill Voldemort), But now, after hearing Dumbledore's confession, he still feels uncomfortable, because it means that half of his plan has failed before it even started.

But giving up at will is not Mike's style. After thinking for a while, Mike gritted his teeth and said:
"Principal Dumbledore, I think our plan is still worth implementing. You may not know that I still have a wizard force that can be used for this operation. As long as you and I join forces, although our strength is not enough Kill Voldemort straight away, but at least prevent him from getting the orb!"

Hearing that Dumbledore looked calm, he was not surprised that Mike had secretly cultivated an army.

But this is not surprising, Mike can now be said to be a new financial aristocrat in the wizarding world of the country, and it is very normal for him to master such a large number of Galleons to cultivate his own power. Almost every rich pureblood Families do it.

But Mike said that he would use this force to deal with Voldemort and his Death Eaters, which made Dumbledore shake his head. Everyone knows that, except for those pure-blood families that have been passed down through the ages, other families cultivate The strength of the private army is pitifully weak.By analogy, the strength of Mike's troops can be imagined.

"The army you mentioned, what is their strength?"

"Oh, don't worry." Looking at Dumbledore's face full of doubts, Mike smiled, "Although the cutting-edge combat power is relatively small, they are not just wastes waiting to die. In terms of basic skills and coordination The ability is even more overwhelming to your Order of the Phoenix."

A look of surprise flashed across Dumbledore's face, but Mike continued:

"Make a decision quickly, Principal Dumbledore. Although it is basically impossible for us to kill Voldemort this time, it is still easy to kill those Death Eaters! If we kill all the Death Eaters this time , then no matter how powerful Voldemort is, the process of ruling the country will inevitably be slowed down!

What's more, the benefits of our implementation of this plan are not limited to this. As long as we fight Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic, then no matter how unwilling Fudge is to believe in Voldemort's return, he can only announce the news to the outside world!And if we win, we can also publicize our victory, which will surely rekindle the fighting spirit of those who have always been afraid of Voldemort, knowing that even if Voldemort is dead, he is not invincible! "

Mike's last words seemed to have moved Dumbledore, he took two steps forward, crossed the desk and came to Mike.

Since his back was facing the moonlight, Mike couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but felt that Dumbledore must be in a restless mood at this time, because his breathing was much faster than usual.

"I don't agree with you. Even if we kill all the current Death Eaters, with Voldemort's current reputation and strength, it is easy for him to recruit another group of men. Now he is like a magic lamp Like him, he can attract those with evil intentions into his arms like moths to a flame."

Mike became anxious all of a sudden, and now he even began to wonder if Dumbledore's mind had become confused because of his age. How could it not make any sense?

But before he spoke, Dumbledore on the opposite side suddenly chuckled twice, and then said:

"But you are right. Our battle can indeed let the world know the news of Voldemort's return, and it can rekindle the fire of hope in their hearts. Therefore, Mike, I agreed to my cooperation request."

"Hehehe, then you can follow the previous plan first." Mike said, "And I will go back to Hogwarts and watch Harry to see if he will have some other dreams."

Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction, and walked out of the room with Mike.

Seeing that Dumbledore seemed to be sending him away in person, Mike was a little surprised, but he didn't refuse.

But when the two walked down the stairs slowly, Mike suddenly remembered something.

"Principal Dumbledore, the key to the legend lies in belief and emotion. What does this sentence mean?"

"Oh! This is a rather profound question." The corners of Dumbledore's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile, "Maybe you need to find the answer yourself, it would be meaningless for me to tell you directly!"

Speaking of which, Dumbledore pushed open the door of the villa and made a gesture of please to Mike.

Mike was itchy with anger, and continued to ask.

However, Dumbledore remained motionless and continued to open the door.

Taking a deep breath, Mike strode out of the door, took out his broomstick and prepared to fly out of the range of the villa's anti-apparition spell, but Dumbledore behind him stopped him.

"Wait, don't forget your apology."

Mike took a deep breath, nodded and looked towards the yard behind him.

Compared with before coming here, this garden has been much cleaner, at least the silt deposited on the ground has basically disappeared.

And the house-elf called the little teacup is waving the broom in his hand not far away at the moment. The broom seems to have some magical power. As long as the little teacup is waved lightly, a huge airflow will erupt from it and blow the surroundings All the fallen leaves and silt were blown up.

"Small teacup!"

Mike's calling attracted his attention, and the little teacup turned to look at Mike, revealing his tearful face.

Seeing that it was Mike, the small teacup twisted and turned its head away again.

Mike smiled slightly and said loudly:

"Sorry, I misunderstood you before, you are a very good house elf!"

The little teacup turned back in astonishment, only to see that Mike had already disappeared into the night sky on a broomstick.

……

Mike, who returned to Hogwarts after experiencing some ups and downs, was surprised to find that Harry, Hermione and others were still in his dormitory, while Franklin returned to his dormitory very obediently.

It was almost dawn at this time, and Hermione and Harry were sleeping peacefully in the lounge chairs in front of the fireplace.

In desperation, Mike could only step forward to pat them awake, but when Harry woke up and saw that it was Mike, he jumped up from the reclining chair.

"Mike, what did Dumbledore say."

"This is not something you should think about. Go back to sleep as soon as possible for the important things to you now!"

Now that it is getting brighter today, although Mike doesn't need sleep very much with his current mental strength, he didn't sleep all night and he was a little angry with Dumbledore, which made Mike's tone a little bit bad.

Hearing that Harry's face also showed anger, he grabbed Mike's arm and roared:
"This obviously has a lot to do with me, but why aren't you willing to tell me? Huh?"

Mike looked at him coldly, but didn't speak, and Hermione who was next to him was also woken up at this time, and hurriedly persuaded:

"Harry, don't do that."

"You don't have to persuade him, Hermione." Mike said blankly, "Harry, let me tell you the truth, I won't tell you anything about Dumbledore now, not for any other reason, but because Because your brain has been connected to Voldemort for some reason, which means that he can invade your brain at any time to know our information! That's why Dumbledore insists that you learn Occlumency! So I will never tell you anything until you have mastered Occlumency!"

Harry's arm slipped down weakly, he panted heavily, and stared at Mike blankly.

"Okay, don't say anything, go back quickly." Mike sighed, "Hermione, take Harry back."

Hermione nodded, reached out to support Harry and walked out.

But Harry, who was still stubborn and unwilling to leave, was led out by Hermione like a walking dead.

……

The next day, the career counseling for the fifth graders was finally over, which meant that Hogwarts had finally entered the serious stage of preparation for the exam.

In two weeks, the entire Hogwarts students will face a final exam that will determine whether they can live comfortably during the holidays.

For the fifth and seventh grade students, what they have to face is the more important intermediate wizard exam and the ultimate wizard exam.

So in the last two weeks, not only the professors, but even the students themselves have entered into a frantic learning state.

In this atmosphere, the amazing restorative effect and powerful refreshing effect of Dolphin's Magic Drink made it the best-selling item in Hogwarts once again.

Originally, in this kind of exam season, the most popular among students should be drugs that can strengthen the mind such as the "Concentration Medicine".

It's a pity that the main ingredient of this medicine is dragon dung stone. This cheap psychotropic potion that uses dragon dung as the main material is far from the opponent of Dolphin Magic Drink in terms of cost performance and functionality.

Of course, in the face of the market invasion of Dolphin's magic drink, many students in the school who specialize in selling concentration medicine to make extra money have their own ideas.

They began to spread rumors everywhere, claiming that Dolphin Magic Drink is indeed a drug with a super refreshing effect, but this effect has side effects. Long-term consumption of Dolphin Magic Drink will accumulate toxins in the body, and this toxin will slow down. Slowly destroy the human body, eventually leading to infertility!
When Mike heard this rumor for the first time, he was shocked. He really couldn't believe that Hogwarts, a small magic school, could cultivate such rumor-mongering talents!
It's a pity that their plan failed in the end, and the most exaggerated thing is that their efforts had the opposite effect.

The sales volume of Dolphin's magic drink has surged again!

This is what Mike never expected. He was already prepared for the result of the sales decline, but now it is unexpectedly reversed!

In the end, Mike could only admit that his classmates were obviously more concerned about the current exam than losing their fertility.

And just when Hogwarts was in full swing of study, the two wounded returned to Hogwarts together.

"Mike, why haven't they arrived yet?"

Hermione stood in the foyer, looking anxiously at the open space outside the castle. Standing with her were Harry and other classmates.

They were all Ron's classmates. After hearing that Ron was about to be discharged from the hospital and returned to school, they spontaneously came to the foyer to wait for Ron's return.

Originally, Ron should not have such a reputation, but given the contributions made by George and Fred before, everyone is very enthusiastic about this matter.

As for Umbridge, who came back with Ron, no one came out to greet him except a few Slytherins.

Mike was not surprised that this happened. The leader of Slytherin has always been Chris instead of her Umbridge. Now that Chris is not here, others will naturally not come.

"Wait a little longer," Mike glanced at his pocket watch, "They should be coming soon."

As soon as the words fell, a magically modified snow-blue bus appeared in the sky. This change immediately attracted everyone's attention, and almost everyone looked up at the sky.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the bus landed at the gate of Hogwarts Castle at an extremely fast speed, causing a violent air current.

Slowly, the door of the bus was opened, and Umbridge, who was wearing a pink fur coat, got off the bus slowly.

After seeing the crowd gathered in the foyer, Umbridge was taken aback for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Students, thank you..."

Umbridge opened her arms and spoke enthusiastically to everyone, but the moment she spoke, the smile on her face froze.
