Homecoming from Hogwarts

Dumbledore asked Severus to consult him. Was this a premature realization?
Amosta's face was solemn, and the aura around him was as heavy as lead and mercury. The power he exuded silently affected others. The members of the Order of the Phoenix in the kitchen all looked at him in awe while he was lost in thought.

No. What Dumbledore noticed was not the crucial question.

The key to the problem lies in what kind of changes have occurred in Voldemort.

"That is."

Amosta's gaze, as heavy as a mountain, fell on Severus.

"What kind of power?"

“Very evil.”

Severus' face turned pale as he recalled the ominous feeling and disgust he had felt when he entered Malfoy Manor.

“It’s like everyone’s life is being taken away all the time.”

hiss--
Many people gasped, and even the flames from the candlesticks on the long table shook slightly.

"sound--"

Mungdons shivered, his ugly yellow teeth chattered,

"It's particularly unwise to go against the mysterious man!"

"If you're scared, go ahead and do your shady business!"

Mad-Eye glared at Mungdons fiercely, with the scar on his face twisted.

"You coward, why don't you tell us how many silver spoons you stole tonight?!"

"Oh, I didn't."

Mungdons' face turned red with shame. He covered his sleeves tightly and spoke in a choking voice while looking at Sirius and Amosta nervously.

But neither Sirius nor Amosta had time to care about Mungdons's bad habits.

"Are you covering for Voldemort?"

Sirius glared at Severus in dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you explain it more clearly!"

Severus twitched his lips and instinctively wanted to fight back, but in the end, he restrained his impulse and whispered to everyone,
"I am also restricted by the magic there, so I can't reveal too much information."

Many people nodded to show their understanding, but there were also people who showed hidden doubts.

Amosta remained silent.

There was no doubt that the power Severus described was the same magical power that caused everything to wither that he had witnessed during his trip to the Isle of Avalon.

The once vibrant island of Avalon was turned into a desolate place under the erosion of that force.

If he had not followed the path opened up by Gryffindor, he would have had to pay a heavy price just to reach the temple in the center of the island.

You know, not even Merlin can remove that power.

The legendary wizard could only uproot the temple originally located on the island of Azkaban and drop it on the island of Avalon. He used the fearless faith in King Arthur's Broken Steel Sword and his own unfathomable magical attainments to barely prevent that power from contaminating the entire world.

He had had a brief encounter with that power.

Objectively speaking, he is far from being a match.

Even though his magical powers have improved rapidly in the past two years, he is still no match for him.

That is a power from a completely higher dimension.

The source of that death power comes from the double snake staff.

When he learned that Vitia was hanging out with Voldemort on the eve of last year's Quidditch World Cup final, he was very worried.

No matter what the basis is, the twin snakes staff will make Voldemort more recognized, and once the staff is used by Voldemort, no one can restrain him.

However, over the past year, Voldemort's actions have been "in line with common sense".

This convinced Amosta that Voldemort had lost control of the Wand.
Amosta's eyelids moved slightly as he was lost in thought.

This is true even today.

If Voldemort truly controlled the Caduceus, with the power of that sacred staff, he would never have been able to be so restrained.

The most reasonable thing is to go straight to Hogwarts. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish.

The twin snakes recognized Voldemort, but did not lend him their power. This question puzzled Amos for a long time before he came up with a reasonable explanation. Perhaps there was some kind of deal between the two.

If Voldemort wants to use the power of the twin snakes, he must agree to some conditions or help him accomplish something.
At present, Voldemort has obviously not met this condition.

Following this line of thought, it is not difficult to guess what conditions the Double Snake Caduceus might put forward.

And this is also the future that Amosta has always been wary of and is very likely to happen.

Otherwise, why did Merlin and the Big Four leave him so many revelations across centuries?

Once such a crisis occurs, it will no longer be a problem within the British wizarding world, but will affect the entire wizarding world and even the Muggle world.

Only by joining forces can we cope with such a crisis.

As for why Dumbledore put this question to him
I think it has something to do with Vitia.

With his profound accumulation of magical knowledge, Dumbledore might have learned some secrets about the Druid sect in ancient times from some ancient books.

"Don't worry too much--"

Waking up from his thoughts, seeing that everyone was still looking at him worriedly, Amosta smiled.

“You know, Vitia Cleona, her power belongs to the secret witch school, Voldemort may have gained some inspiration from her.

But that, at least for now, is not enough to reverse Voldemort's disadvantage when facing both me and Headmaster Dumbledore at the same time."

The calmness shown by Amosta gave relief to young people in the Order of the Phoenix, such as Bill and Tonks.

But some more experienced people, or those who have a deep understanding of Amosta, know that things are probably not that simple.

"But that Cliona"

After being beaten by Mad-Eye, Mungdons shrank back in his seat and said cautiously,
"That black witch is not someone that ordinary people can deal with. If we encounter her, we will be doomed."

"You wimpy coward!"

Mad-Eye was furious.

"No one forced you to be here, Mungdons!"

Sirius also looked at Mungdons coldly.

"Oh, I'm just reminding you not to ignore reality"

Mungdons said aggrievedly.

"Most of Cleona's power resides in her staff."

Amosta remained amiable,

"And the staff is still kept in my office, so even if you meet her, there is nothing to worry about. By the way,"

Amosta looked at Severus,

"Did you see her?"

"She seems to be under house arrest—"

Severus shook his head glumly.

"Lucius said that she seemed to have angered the Dark Lord for something."

Under house arrest.
Amosta shook his head in confusion.

"About Harry--"

Sirius couldn't wait to bring up a new topic.

"Have you made any progress, Amosta? To be honest, we are all confused at the moment. We don't even know what kind of trouble Harry has been involved in!"

This is a topic of widespread concern among members of the Order of the Phoenix.

But Amosta couldn't tell them too much. It wasn't a question of trust or leaking secrets, but a matter of position.
In order to fight against Voldemort, these people gathered in the Order of the Phoenix, but in terms of their attitude towards the Ministry of Magic, they might not be on the same side as him.

"Don't worry too much, Sirius--"

Amosta took a deep breath and prepared to end the meeting.

"Harry will not become a victim of the Ministry of Magic's dirty political intentions, just wait patiently." (End of this chapter)
