Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 198: Everything is going as planned



The iron door was slowly opened, and Dudley walked out, looking very worried.

"How's it going, kid? Did you get anything?" Fudge, who was waiting outside, immediately came over and hugged Dudley's shoulders affectionately, while Delphine, who was taken away by the dementors, looked at them with an indifferent look. Walked by.

Dudley looked hesitant to speak at first, and then said slowly: "Although she asked some important things... But I don't know if she is lying, so I don't know if I should speak out......"

"Don't worry, kid, just say it boldly. We are just using it as a reference." Fudge kindly pointed to Dumbledore beside him, "Dumbledore and I will check the authenticity, even if it is wrong. Intelligence, we won’t blame you.”

"Okay." Dudley sighed, and then whispered: "This sounds a bit shocking, but according to what Delphine told me just now-"

"Voldemort has been resurrected!"

"Wha...what?" The smile on Fudge's face froze, and Dudley could feel his hand on his shoulder a little harder, "This...this can't be messed up casually. Say, kid, this is going to cause a lot of panic!"

"I said, I can't guarantee the authenticity." Dudley broke free from Fudge's hand and continued: "I mocked her a little, and she showed her Dark Mark in front of me as proof."

"Of course, I don't have any knowledge in this area. Maybe Delphine is just bluffing me. I can't judge the authenticity of the Dark Mark."

"The Dark Mark!" Fudge gasped, his face turned pale, and he looked at Dumbledore in panic.

"Calm down first, Cornelius." Dumbledore said calmly with a solemn face, "Dudley, did she say anything else?"

"She said that after Voldemort killed me in the dungeon that day, he immediately noticed that Professor you had returned to school, so he ran away immediately." Dudley shrugged and said with regret.

"And the reason why she saved my life was because she felt that if I died on the spot, the angry Professor Dumbledore would immediately pursue Voldemort. But if I was dying, Professor, you would focus on saving me. ——I didn’t expect that I would be used to cover Voldemort’s escape.”

"So that's the case. This can indeed be explained." Dumbledore said solemnly: "But since she boldly said it, it means..."

"Yes, according to her, Voldemort has been fully resurrected a few days ago, so he is now confident." Dudley frowned, "And today she has notified Voldemort through the Dark Mark. I am afraid that Voldemort will be attacked soon." Take action..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop first!"

Cornelius Fudge completely lost his amiable look before, and growled nervously: "First of all, Dudley, can you please stop pronouncing that name! It's really bad for your heart..."

"Cornelly, how many times have I told you." Dumbledore said helplessly: "You cannot be afraid of the name itself..."

"Now is not the time to talk about this, Dumbledore!" Fudge looked a little out of control. "Do you believe these words too? The man who must not be named is back?"

"I don't know, but we should always be prepared for the worst, Cornelius." Dumbledore said slowly: "It never hurts to be careful."

"There are many disadvantages, Dumbledore!" Fudge wiped the cold sweat on his head, his voice trembling: "Once this news spreads, how much panic will it cause, and his followers will immediately start to gather. .....”

"So we have to be on guard in advance, such as strengthening the protection here to not give him a chance to rescue his comrades." Dumbledore looked at Fudge seriously. "And also to prepare those who may be involved in combat..."

Fudge closed his eyes and gasped, seeming to think about Dumbledore's words.But after a moment, his expression seemed to calm down and he slowly opened his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I was a little out of control just now." Fudge took off his hat and combed his thin hair. "Dudley obviously said from the beginning that the news was not true, but he still overreacted for a while."

Dumbledore frowned: "Cornelly, what do you mean..."

"Stop it, Dumbledore, you may be as nervous as me right now." Fudge forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, "This must be because the girl was mentally disturbed after being affected by the dementors. It’s just random talk, there’s no need to be so nervous.”

Dumbledore seemed to want to say something else, but Fudge waved his hand and seemed not to listen.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly." Fudge said forcefully, "Dudley's body is still very weak, and this is not a place where staying for a long time is good for your health."

On the way back, the three of them were silent. When the boat docked on the shore and they were out of the range of the anti-Apparition spell, Fudge suddenly spoke.

"Dudley, what you just said is an absolute secret. You must not tell it to anyone." Fudge said with a gloomy face: "The same goes for you, Dumbledore, don't let this illusory news cause panic."

Dumbledore opened his mouth to say something, but Fudge immediately used Disapparation and disappeared into the air as if running away.

Dumbledore sighed helplessly, grabbed Dudley's arm, and used Apparition to reach the high bridge at the entrance of Hogwarts.

"Fudge is indeed too weak sometimes, and his fear of facing bad things is his weakness." Dumbledore murmured softly.

"Then why don't you do what he should do instead of him?" Dudley muttered quietly, but immediately added: "I'm sorry, Professor, I made a mistake. I know you have your own arrangements."

"It doesn't matter...Many people have said what you said to me." Dumbledore looked at Dudley deeply, and then looked away.

But as a result, the atmosphere between Dudley and Dumbledore became slightly tense, and neither of them said a word as they returned to the castle.

When they entered Hogwarts Castle, they immediately saw Snape walking towards them with a stern face, holding the sleeve of his left arm tightly.

"Professor Dumbledore, I was just looking for you." Snape walked up to Dumbledore with a nervous and serious expression, and then glanced at Dudley next to him.

"We'll talk about it in detail in my office later." Dumbledore nodded slightly, then turned to look at Dudley: "Dudley, you go back to the school infirmary first to find Ms. Pomfrey, otherwise she will definitely be furious. ”

Dudley said goodbye to the two professors and left in a hurry. He could guess that Snape must have come to Dumbledore because of the reappearance of the Dark Mark.

The plan is going perfectly so far.
