Chapter 764 Dumbledore's Plan

Sirius, who had wanted to leave to ask Kreacher about the Horcrux, immediately chose to stay and listen to Dumbledore's story after hearing Dumbledore say that the plan was related to Snape and Lucius Malfoy.

And Dumbledore did not intend to hide it from him, and continued to talk on his own.

At the beginning, Lucius was just like Snape, a spy planted next to Voldemort. After all, Snape had to stay in school most of the time, and there were many things on Voldemort's side that he could not know in time. Moreover, with Voldemort's character, he would not tell all his affairs to a certain subordinate, so Lucius was still necessary as a member of Snape's investigation and filling in the gaps.

For example... Dumbledore knew in advance that the Death Eaters had planned to control Amelia Bones, the popular candidate for the Minister of Magic, and planned to kill the other party directly if the control failed, and give way to the Death Eater candidate who was also competing.

Since Voldemort was still lurking at the time, the overall trend in the Ministry of Magic was still unwilling to believe Dumbledore, so he could only choose to persuade Ms. Bones to give up the election.

As for the fact that the Minister of Magic, Pius Thicknesse, was also controlled by Voldemort, Dumbledore also learned from Lucius. Compared with exposing Lucius as a spy, a known Minister of Death Eaters who dared not make any big moves for the time being was actually nothing.

After all, when Fudge was in office before, he was also dragging Dumbledore's feet in various ways. In order not to expose his situation, Thicknesse was much more restrained than him.

So far, Thicknesse has only made some small things, and monitored Dumbledore and some members of the Order of the Phoenix using the Floo Network.

If Dumbledore hadn't known about his situation long ago, he would not have suspected him at all.

But then, as Voldemort discovered that his Golden Cup Horcrux was also found and destroyed by Dumbledore, he was already dissatisfied with the diary falling into Dumbledore's hands. After torturing Lucius again, he also took the opportunity to assign a task to his son Draco - assassinating Dumbledore.

Voldemort certainly knew that Draco could not complete this task, and he was even sure that the immature Draco would be exposed in a short time, but Voldemort also knew Dumbledore's "hypocrisy". Even if he knew that Draco wanted to assassinate him, Dumbledore would not do anything to Draco, but would pretend to know nothing.

He did this just to disgust Dumbledore and to deter those Death Eaters who were a little uneasy.

However, what Voldemort didn't know was that the Malfoy family had already abandoned the dark and joined the light, and his doing so would only make Lucius more determined to betray.

After learning about Draco's situation through Snape, Dumbledore, who was cursed by the ring at the time, quickly came up with a plan -

He asked Snape to tell Voldemort that he was cursed, and then asked Draco to propose to Voldemort a plan to invade Hogwarts with the Vanishing Cabinet. If Fish really couldn't cure him, then he would find an appropriate time to use his life to lure Voldemort into the trap. If Fish really cured himself... then he could also fake his death.

Later, it was discovered that Voldemort seemed to be using another Horcrux as bait to weaken himself. It can only be said to be a pleasant surprise. Dumbledore just slightly adjusted the plan to make his "death" more reasonable.

Moreover, Dumbledore did not expect that Voldemort would actually appear in person, and further exposed Harry's restraint on him.

"This is probably because we all drank the Felixir, otherwise today's action would not be so smooth, and I could live a few more years." Dumbledore shrugged and said happily.

Professor McGonagall kept silent with a straight face, staring at Dumbledore with sinister eyes.

Knowing that there might be a trap, he dared to take the risk with Fish... Believe it or not, if something really happened to the cat, she would betray and become a Death Eater in a minute!

Hermione's idea was similar to Professor McGonagall's, but she didn't dare to express her dissatisfaction as directly as Professor McGonagall, and could only stare at Dumbledore with resentful eyes.

Dumbledore was stared at by the two witches, one big and one small, and felt uncomfortable, but he knew he was in the wrong, so he could only avoid their sight with embarrassment.

Harry and Sirius's focus was different. After listening to Dumbledore's plan, they were both excited and complicated.

The excitement was that the feasibility of this plan was very high. Voldemort saw with his own eyes that Dumbledore was half dead after drinking those potions; the complexity was... Snape and Malfoy, father and son, whom they had always been hostile to and distrusted, actually did so many important things behind the scenes.

As for the two of them, one could only stay in the headquarters and do nothing, while the other enjoyed a harmonious and peaceful campus life in the school without knowing anything.

At this moment, Harry and Sirius looked at Dumbledore with resentment.

Dumbledore: "..."

Fortunately, Fish came to his rescue in time.

"Then Albus, are you going to pretend to be dead next?"

ω

Fish had no objection to this plan. In nature, many animals have the skill of pretending to be dead, and some even use pretending to be dead to hunt.

"Don't worry," Dumbledore said with a smile, "Voldemort just suffered a big loss today, and now he doesn't have the courage to invade Hogwarts... Even if he is sure that I am really dead, he will probably not come in person. After all, besides me, there is also you, Fish, who defeated him, and Harry, his destined nemesis. At best, we can weaken his power."

"Then we rely on the cabinet you mentioned and fight Voldemort in reverse, meow?" Fish proposed another plan.

"Voldemort will definitely keep a close watch on the other Vanishing Cabinet and set up a warning spell to prevent any accidents here." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Then the Malfoy family will be in danger, especially since Lucius's wand is now destroyed. If Voldemort gets angry at him or suspects him, he won't be able to resist without his wand."

"Yes..."

(ˇˇ)

Fish nodded in approval and said with regret, "Voldemort is so timid, meow!"

But the regret on the cat's face soon turned into relief, "It's also thanks to his timidity, otherwise we would be in danger today, and Fish wouldn't have had much strength to fight him at that time, meow."

"So we have to thank Horace for the Felicis Felix." Dumbledore joked with a smile.

Then he felt a chill on his back, a creepy feeling swept over his body, and the hair on his body stood up.

Dumbledore turned his head and saw Professor McGonagall staring at him coldly through her square lenses.

"Ahem!" He quickly avoided her gaze again and changed the subject abruptly. "Although this plan cannot directly solve Voldemort, it can also weaken his power. If he is lucky, he is very likely to send people to invade Hogwarts while also attacking the Ministry of Magic, which has been infiltrated by the Death Eaters. He will also officially stand on the stage... That is when the battle really begins."

"And what we have to do now..." He turned his gaze to Harry and Sirius, "is to find and destroy the remaining Horcruxes of Voldemort as much as possible."

"I'll go back to find Kreacher now!" Sirius stood up and was about to reach for the faucet door key on the table.

"Wait a minute, Sirius." Dumbledore stopped him and said in a low voice: "There is one more thing, it's time to let Harry know... As his godfather, you also have the right and the need to know..."

Regarding this plan, I have already described it in some side ways before. In fact, I originally wanted to reveal the full picture of the plan after Voldemort was tricked, but it felt very stiff no matter how I wrote it. The previous state was lost and the draft was exhausted, so I didn't have time to polish this plot carefully. After deleting and revising it several times, I just wrote it like this.

In fact, there are still some details in it that don't stand up to scrutiny, but I really can't think of how to improve it. Anyway, this is not a suspenseful reasoning theme, so everyone can just read it...

Besides, many buttons in the original work can't stand up to scrutiny. I call this a tribute to the original work!

…

Because I have almost used up all my drafts, I have no time to check carefully. Yesterday, regarding the error about Kreacher, I originally wrote that I brought him here, but then I thought that Dumbledore probably didn’t know that Kreacher knew about the Horcruxes at that time, so I changed it again, but in the end I still didn’t delete it completely…

In addition, I also typed Zhong Yuan as Fei Xi…
