Chapter 341 The Troublemaker's Backhand
"Tom Riddle!"

The Killing Curse was shot towards Tom along with Voldemort's roar, but Tom just watched with a smile and had no intention of stopping it.

Snapped!
Before the wizard behind Tom could react, a red spell had already blasted the Killing Curse apart.

"Thank you for your support, Mr. Snape."

Snape raised his wand and said calmly, "You're welcome, Mr. Riddle."

"Severus, what do you want to do?" Dumbledore stood beside Snape, his beard swaying in the breeze, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more distinct.

"I want to arrest Voldemort, Albus." Snape met Dumbledore's eyes.

One pair of black pupils looked like those of a wild beast hiding in the shadow of the moonlight, and the other pair looked like a blue lake where the surrounding fields had turned into a desert over the years.

"We have no intention of forming an alliance with Riddle yet, Severus, you are a little too impatient." Dumbledore's slightly tired voice sounded, "We need to see him clearly."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, Albus." Snape pointed his wand at Voldemort and said expressionlessly:

"We should look at ourselves clearly, Albus."

"Times have changed. Our mission will end when we destroy the mysterious man's ambitions. The rest should be left to future generations."

Dumbledore pushed his glasses up on his nose and said in a deep voice, "How can you be sure that Riddle will not become the new generation of You-Know-Who?"

“We have to ensure that the next generation has a good living environment.”

"Let's talk about these issues after this is all over, Albus." Snape's eyes fixed and he shouted, "God of Swords!"

Voldemort narrowed his eyes and waved his wand in front of him.

The next moment, there was a crackling sound in the void in front of him, and three one-meter-long marks appeared like broken mirrors.

Voldemort looked at the crack in front of him, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and his gaze towards Snape became serious.

Tom Riddle's smile grew even brighter, and he shouted, "Everyone, don't be on guard against Dumbledore's Army."

"Arrest Voldemort with all your strength!"

"The protagonist of the first trial of our new Ministry of Magic has been decided to be this heavyweight!"

Tom's supporters responded loudly, and then colorful spells hit Voldemort like a meteor shower.

"Riddle! Don't forget, it was you who gave me the Horcrux in your hand! You are also the mastermind behind the destruction of the Ministry of Magic!"

Voldemort dodged in a panic. Although the incoming spells were not strong, he needed to conserve his strength to guard against Tom, Dumbledore and Snape.

Snape's spell just now almost broke his magic shield. If he was hit without any preparation, he would definitely be killed.

"Voldemort!" Tom's eyes burst into tears, and he said sadly:

"You broke into my attic and stole my carefully guarded Horcrux. You also severely injured my housekeeper and my wife, and almost caused the miscarriage of my child who was less than a month old!"

"My compatriots witnessed all this with their own eyes, yet you still want to slander them!"

"Voldemort, I will never stand against you!"

After saying that, he madly poured curses at Voldemort. Although his accuracy was poor, it still scared Voldemort into a cold sweat.

"Don't be fooled by this hypocritical man! He was performing group magic with me just now!" Voldemort shouted.

"I paralyzed you, Voldemort!" Tom fired the spell again and roared, "Now, I finally don't have to endure it anymore!"

"Fellow countrymen, arrest him!"

"Wait! I have the picture ball of his transaction with me!" Voldemort took out a crystal ball from his arms, held it high, and then knocked down the spell that attacked him, shouting:

"Are you feeling guilty? Do you want to destroy the evidence that Riddle was plotting against me?"

"Stop!" Dumbledore shouted at Snape and the wizards behind him who were ready to move, and at the same time waved his wand to stop the spell attacking Voldemort.

Then, he looked at Tom with some surprise. If he heard correctly, Tom also shouted "Stop" with him.

However, he did not notice the dissatisfied gazes of the Order of the Phoenix members behind him.

"Sir?" The wizard next to Tom said puzzledly, "We saw it with our own eyes. He destroyed your home and used the Cruciatus Curse on the housekeeper. Even the pregnant Lady Bella fainted from fear."

"How did you——"

Tom's eyes were red. He raised his hand to stop his men from speaking and said, "We will be the ones to maintain peace in the entire wizarding world in the future."

"We must walk upright and sit upright." "If it is a mistake, we must correct it; if it is slander, we must clarify it."

"Even if Voldemort is a criminal, we can only take coercive measures after proving that the evidence against him is invalid."

"Right, Mr. Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore felt like he was being looked down upon by everyone, not just Tom, but the people behind him were also looking at him strangely.

"Oh, Albus, you are confused. You still have room for such a villain as Voldemort." Snape sighed:
"Don't you know how many of our brothers and sisters he killed?"

“Even if what he said is true, should we give up on arresting and punishing him?”

Dumbledore's expression changed slightly. He turned around and found that many people had strange looks in their eyes.

"I will not stop you," Dumbledore explained. "I just want to make sure that Tom Riddle is not in league with You-Know-Who."

Snape shook his head and sighed.

It's too pale, the explanation is too pale.

Dumbledore, oh Dumbledore, you are not even willing to call him Voldemort now.

Are all wizards equal in your eyes?
Didn't you notice that the Order of the Phoenix didn't accept your explanation?
Dumbledore noticed.

But he insisted he was right.

He has been doing this for so many years, and he feels that he should do the same this time.

Harry felt the vortex of emotions gathered above the heads of Dumbledore, Tom, and Voldemort. The negative characteristics of the same magical element suddenly became active.

Suspicion, resentment, ambition and malice, the magical elements that were positive just now suddenly turned against each other.

They even wanted to plunder and corrupt Harry's body!

interesting.

Harry smiled and hugged them, once again immersing himself in the joy of understanding the Force.

Voldemort heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Tom sinisterly, then poured the magic power in his hand into the photo ball.

The image in the ball is projected over the field for everyone to see.

"Look, this is your leader, this is Tom Riddle! See through his hypocrisy, he is the same person as me, and he hasn't changed now!" Voldemort shouted triumphantly.

The image begins in a dark cave, with Voldemort sitting on a stone, the darkness covering half of his face.

"Voldemort, you must ensure the safety of Hogwarts." A familiar voice sounded.

Amid everyone's incredulous gazes, Dumbledore came before Voldemort holding a Hufflepuff gold cup.

"Dumbledore, you are such a hypocrite. You used my face to do things, and you also used me to hold Riddle back."

Voldemort's voice was hoarse, and his eyes that appeared outside the darkness became even darker and deeper. "But I don't mind."

"Do you need me to help you do more? For example, kill all the Wizengamot members who are in the way?"

"Don't do anything unnecessary, Voldemort." Dumbledore threw the golden cup to Voldemort. The blue in his eyes was like ice that could freeze people's bones.

"Just do as we agreed. Afterwards, I will help you eliminate the flaws in your fake death."

"How can I trust you unless you hand over the spell wand and the remains of Polyjuice Potion to me." Voldemort stroked the Hufflepuff gold cup in his hand and sharply proposed the terms of exchange.

Dumbledore refused without hesitation: "How could that be possible? I have already destroyed them."

"Voldemort, you have no choice. Just listen to me and don't try to be smart."

With that, Dumbledore disappeared.

Then Voldemort came down from the stone, he stretched out his hand, and the projection screen shook, and the window slowly moved to Voldemort's face.

"Dumbledore, you are the smart one, hehehe, hahahaha——"

Amid the unpleasant laughter, the projection screen fell into darkness.

The photo ball playback has ended.

There was silence.
