A shiny oak wood door was opened silently, and the only movement was the brass door knocker in the shape of a lion and eagle head on it and the crisp sound of the door itself.

The person here is Dumbledore. The third project is over and he returned to his office.

He looked a little wilted, and he had a considerable contrast compared to the usual spirited, tall and straight figure, which was also a little rickety at this time.

It can be seen that his mood is not very good, and some of his body is a little tired.

This is inevitable. There was a battle with Voldemort. For ordinary wizards, even if they survived, they have exhausted their best. Even if this person is Dumbledore, it does not mean that he can be taken lightly.

What's more, no matter how energetic he is, he is already an old man who has lived for more than a century, and his energy must be reduced a lot compared to his prime.

"Are you back? Professor Dumbledore?" A young boy's voice came from not far away.

The owner of the voice was Malfoy. He was teasing Dumbledore's phoenix pet. At this time, Fox was in his prime of life. The bright red feathers made it look vigorous.

The phoenix on the perching branch was jumping up and down because Malfoy was using his wand to summon fiery fireballs to feed it.

"Fox, that's enough, be careful not to digest it." Dumbledore shook his head, getting closer.

Fox immediately stopped his eating behavior obediently, but still used his spiritual gaze, looking at Malfoy with some expectation, and it seemed that he had a lot of affection for the boy.

It is a very intelligent creature. It knows that its owner trusts the young boy quite a bit. It also specially sets up an extra password for him in the principal's office so that he can enter and exit here at any time, so it's no surprise.

Otherwise, this phoenix wouldn't mind a cameo as a guard when facing an untrusted outsider.

"Well, let's talk about it, Professor Dumbledore. I guess the plan is definitely not as smooth as we thought." Malfoy found a wooden chair casually and sat down, waiting for his free time, sitting tightly, waiting for Deng. Blido's reply.

"Indeed, there was an accident in the process." Dumbledore shook his head.

Malfoy's fists were abruptly clenched, and then quickly released. He restrained his somewhat depressed and sad mood and asked calmly, "What's the accident?"

The plan he had planned for a long time failed, which made him feel a distorted sense of loss and unreality, but it seemed logical. After all, he could not control everything. The storm of butterfly wings would only get bigger and bigger, making it difficult to control. Control and anticipation.

"Voldemort's resurrection didn't use Harry's blood. I don't know what happened. He was resurrected ahead of time." Dumbledore pushed his lens, his expression full of helplessness.

Hearing that Malfoy's brows frowned, his thin lips tightened, as if thinking about something.

"Why?" Malfoy asked.

"I don't know." Dumbledore pushed his half-moon lens, his tone deeper and deeper.

"What about a snake?" the boy continued, and he needed more information.

"Voldemort was very alert. When I appeared, he immediately ordered the python to disappear from the battlefield, and even took away Peter Pettigrew in the end." Dumbledore still shook his head.

"He seems to be able to feel my peeping all the time, but he is not sure." Dumbledore said, "I felt his defense and caution, so I can't get too close, and I don't know why he was resurrected in advance. After the early resurrection, it would be meaningless for Harry to appear again, but at this time the game has already begun, and I dare not rush back to stop the progress easily. If I was on the way back, Harry got the door key, the consequences would be disastrous."

"So I took the initiative to show up, hoping to subdue him, even if this hope is a little bleak." Dumbledore shook his head, closing his eyelids when speaking, looking very sleepy.

"At that time, many Death Eaters began to appear around him. He summoned the Dark Mark. Since our plan has failed, I can only stop the loss. If I can subdue him, it would be a good result." Dumbledore continued.

"His strength is declining badly, I feel it" Dumbledore explained a fact that should be gratifying.

"Of course I know." Malfoy said heartily.

As early as a few years ago, Voldemort’s father’s ashes were replaced by him in order to weaken his strength. He didn’t think of taking them all, but this might force Voldemort to think of other ways and cause other things. variable.

Even if Voldemort was a ray of remnant soul, it would be difficult to catch him.

Defeating and killing are two concepts. The endless black magic and more than ten years of escape career must have further tempered his escape skills.

In order to reduce Voldemort's strength, he even put a lot of effort on Peter Pettigrew. When he temporarily became a hero that everyone praised, secretly, this poor mouse had no idea how much he had eaten into his stomach. The potion Snape specially prepared for him.

Just want to be able to maximize the strength of Voldemort to be restrained within an acceptable range.

Now it seems that this goal has been achieved, and Dumbledore's judgment is of course extremely accurate.

It's a pity that people's hearts are unpredictable, and Malfoy will not guess now, that the hatred and a little coincidence from Peter Pettigrew actually broke everyone's expectations.

Voldemort lost a "perfect" resurrection because of him.

As for Malfoy, they also lost an opportunity to add a fatal weakness to Voldemort.

"But he eventually ran away, didn't he?" Malfoy raised his eyebrows.

"He will do whatever it takes to restore his strength, not only from his own body, but also with foreign objects." Malfoy stared at Dumbledore's blue eyes and said.

"Foreign..." Dumbledore murmured, immediately thinking of what was most important to most wizards.

"The magic wand? Dumbledore asked tentatively, and then his face was pale suddenly as if thinking of something suddenly.

Voldemort will definitely discover the abnormality of the twin wand core. In order to solve this problem, he may do many unpredictable things. With one hand, he is best at torture.

"It seems you have already thought about it, Professor." Malfoy said lightly, "I have two plans now. Would you like to listen to them?"

"Of course, I would like to hear the details." Dumbledore said.

...

"It's too cruel." After a long time, Dumbledore sighed. After listening to Malfoy's plan, he walked to Fox's perching branch and gently stroked its feathers, as if this would calm him down. mood.

"Maybe, but I think it's pretty good, and an extra experience is also good, isn't it?" Malfoy said lightly.

"It's just that when I'm away, I hope you can take care of it." Malfoy added.

"Of course, this is my responsibility." Dumbledore pressed his ten fingertips together and said solemnly, as the azure blue eyes burst into amazing light.
