Hogwarts becomes host

Harry and Ron went to find Hagrid, and Hermione and Daphne went to the kitchen to find the house elf. Elaine and Dumbledore were the only ones left in the lounge. Elaine tapped the piano nearby with her wand, and the black and white keys began to play. .

"How about it?"

"I don't think he's been resurrected yet, but he has gathered some good men."

If a student enters the lounge at this time, they will only hear the continuous and melodious sound of the piano, but not the conversation between Elaine and Dumbledore - the magical energy contained in the music can completely isolate the two people's voices.

This is the original magic of a certain Shafiq member.

The soul family tree once recorded the souls of all the Shafik people. Although the dead members can no longer provide magic power to the family leader, they can leave the magic and important memories they knew during their lifetime on the family tree. They can use it as long as they pay for magic power. Elaine will He accepted it with a smile.

Unlike inheritance, Elaine cannot continue to use these recorded magics as long as she loses her family tree, but as long as she is willing to spend time, she can also find these magics from the memories of the members; in addition, she can absorb 10% of the magic power of the existing members. , the soul family tree is truly worthy of being the core of the Shafiq family.

...Having said that, the shortcomings are also obvious.

The ability of the family tree is based on the premise of family prosperity. Now that most of the Shafiq tribe is dead, if Elaine had not had the magic power of the entire world to support her, she would not be able to use the magic in the family tree. It would take too much magic power.

Back to the topic, Dumbledore came to exchange information with Elaine.

Although it was strange for him to discuss it with a child, knowing that Elaine had a whole world of support behind her, Dumbledore often came to tell her something in person.

"There is movement in the vampire forces in Romania, but I can't find much. This information may not be accurate. Fudge interfered with my forces in the Ministry of Magic. Adair seemed to have further stimulated him. Gsilda hinted to me , Fudge is probably preparing to interfere in Hogwarts."

"The Dementors haven't moved yet, but the giants are moving towards the Greek Peninsula, and the werewolves are not at peace either." Dumbledore raised the Elder Wand and drew a map of Europe out of thin air. "The most important thing is that apart from Bertha, there have been four disappearances in the Greek peninsula in the past six months, three in Albania and one in Bulgaria.

Ya. "

"There are already a lot of disappearances there." Elaine looked at the simple map and asked curiously, "Do you have connections in Albania? That place is not..."

For wizards, Albania is a legendary lonely land. That land does not belong to wizards and has never had any history of magic. It is as if no wizard has visited there since ancient times; even wizards born here, Nor would he return to Albania after graduating from Durmstrang or any other magic school.

If a wizard declares that he is going to travel to Albania, he will either disappear in the end, or completely forget his experience in that land when he comes back, or refuse to explain it until his death. Therefore, Albania is regarded by wizards as a forgotten land, and is generally regarded as a forgotten place. Everyone thought there was danger there.

From a Muggle perspective, Albania is also a magical place.

It used to be a Greek colony, a Roman Empire dependency, and later it was ruled by the Ottoman Empire.

The country was founded in 1925. It experienced the restoration of the monarchy, the invasion of Italy and Germany, and the restoration of the country with the help of the red forces after World War II. It was a member of the Warsaw Pact. However, in 68, after the Soviet Union sent troops to Czechoslovakia, it withdrew from the Warsaw Pact. .

It severed diplomatic relations with China in 78 (Voldemort fled here in 81) and considered itself the only socialist country in the world, causing Albania to become one of the most closed countries in the world at that time.

It was not until 91 (when Harry entered school and Quirrell possessed by Voldemort and went to Hogwarts to seize the Philosopher's Stone) that Albania abandoned its 46-year seclusion and began to communicate with the United States.

The lonely Dark Lord hides in the lonely country.

Every time she compared the history of the wizarding world and the Muggle world, it gave Elaine a strange feeling.

"Of course not." Dumbledore shook his head. "With the help of the International Federation of Magicians, I investigated the lists of wizards from various countries going to Albania. It is a controlled area, so it is not difficult to check."

"You can only find wizards who are not from the dark side."

"Well, a friend in France sent me a letter and said that the dark wizards in Europe have been making moves in recent years. Although he will say this every two or three years, I believe it is true this time. Voldemort is gathering his partners in Albania. I think he will show up soon, at least during the Quidditch World Cup."

"But I still don't think he will follow the original situation." Elaine frowned and said irritably, "Adair has changed too many things. Besides, Egypt is not a suitable place for sneak attacks, right...?"

"Sirius has already booked a VIP box in a high-profile manner." Dumbledore said calmly, "He will take action. If it were not for the Triwizard Tournament, he would have to kidnap Harry at that time."

"...Do you still think he will be resurrected with Harry's blood?"

"He will," Dumbledore said with certainty. "I know Tom. As soon as he fails, he will be very persistent in that matter. He wants to prove that he can do anything, so he will definitely do it."

"I mean, we can't bet our hopes on a set of books, Professor." Elaine said, "As long as the soul is immortal, there are many ways to be resurrected besides 'bone, flesh, and blood'."

"I'm not very good at black magic, so I asked Gettler. The other methods you mentioned have more or less sequelae." Dumbledore replied confidently, "He thinks 'bones, flesh, and blood' are The most suitable for him, because this dark magic hurts the soul, and Voldemort doesn't care about his own soul at all."

"...Yes." Elaine sighed deeply, "But we must take some preventive measures, right? Who knows what Voldemort thinks? What if he really gives up this method and doesn't use it? What about Harry's blood resurrection? Is there really no other way to get rid of the soul fragments in Harry's body?"

"It's not impossible, but this is the safest way."

"Too slow." Elaine said seriously, "Professor, we don't have time to wait for Harry's mental maturity. The day Voldemort comes back, more people will die. I want to deal with him as soon as possible."

Among the seven Horcruxes, the diary and the gold cup have been destroyed, the locket, crown and ring are all under surveillance. Only Harry and Nagini are left. Nagini and Voldemort are together, and Harry... is worse than Voldemort. Tricky.

Dumbledore worries about Harry more than anyone else. He cares more about Harry's peace of mind than the entire plan. He cares more about Harry's life than the thousands of visible wizards. He cares more about Harry's life than the destruction of Voldemort. Wanted Harry to live.

If Voldemort takes Harry's blood and resurrects, Lily's blood spell will protect the two of them, and Voldemort will never be able to kill Harry. This is the best situation, and it is also the answer given in the original work.

The problem is that Elaine vaguely feels that things will not go according to the original novel...

If Voldemort didn't rely on Harry to resurrect him, then their efforts to destroy Voldemort's body would be in vain, not to mention that Voldemort was as slippery as a snake. When he saw something was wrong, his first reaction was to run away. He didn't have the magnanimity of a boss at all.

She will always remember the Forbidden Forest in the first grade. At that time, Adair, who had transferred the unicorn, wanted to seek revenge from Voldemort, but Voldemort escaped without looking back... Adair had died by his hands!

Elaine didn't want to play a chase game with Voldemort.

"Other methods are too dangerous." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "You can't bear to watch Harry die? He is your friend, even your suitor──"

"If you say that, I want to kill him even more."

"Well, he is your friend. Are you willing to sacrifice the lives of Miss Granger and Miss Greengrass in order to defeat Voldemort?"

"These are two different things, Professor. Hermione and Daphne do not have Voldemort's soul fragments in their minds."

"Indeed, but I think it's the same." Dumbledore stroked his beard and said to Elaine seriously, "Lily and James have lost too much to support me, and I don't want to sacrifice them anymore. The only bloodline, even if that would make it easier.”

"……Fine."

Having already talked about it to this extent, what else could Elaine do, "What about Fudge?"

"...I still want to give him another chance. After all, he is also my student." Dumbledore's face darkened, "I can't watch him lose his reputation, even if he doesn't want to─"

"Professor, please, we will be very passive."

"I know, but you've given us a lot of advantages, haven't you?"
