A friendly day at Hogwarts

"So, the fact that you chose to come to us means that you no longer have any hope for Voldemort, right?" Glenn came back to his senses and asked softly.

It could be seen that Master Draco was feeling very complicated at the moment, and his already pale face looked much more haggard.

Fear, worry, mixed with confusion about the future, for a man who has been pampered since childhood and has been loved by countless people, such complicated emotions are really too heavy.

"That's right..." He was silent for a long time and finally nodded, "I know that no matter what I do, he can't let us go. Rather than expecting him to find out one day, it's better to work with you to find a way to bring down the enemy. he!"

"That's a wise choice, Draco," Dumbledore said with a smile.

"No matter what..." Draco lowered his head and said, "As long as it can ensure that my parents are not harmed, I am willing to do anything for you, Professor Dumbledore..."

It has to be said that the Malfoy father and son have never been good people, but there is one thing about them: they are willing to give everything they have to their family.

Dumbledore shook his head with a smile and said: "In this matter, Draco, I think you don't have to be so pessimistic. If everything goes well, the information you provided today may be an opportunity... "

"What chance?" Draco immediately raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.

"This is just an idea for the time being. I still need some time to think about it. You might as well go back and have a good rest first. It can be seen that you haven't had a solid sleep for a long time." Dumbledore said softly, " Remember, don’t tell anyone about your visit to me tonight, including your parents.”

He paused and then added: "In addition, you must practice the Occlumency technique your father taught you more. Voldemort is a rare Legilimency master. Once he doubts you, with your current level, you cannot hide it." Keep any secret."

"I understand, Professor Dumbledore..." Draco said, getting up and leaving.

When his footsteps faded away, Glenn looked at Dumbledore and asked, "You don't think the same as I do, do you?"

Dumbledore smiled softly: "We are not in a hurry to discuss it. We will wait until someone comes."

There is no doubt that what he is waiting for is the double agent, the half-blood prince.

"Principal, are you looking for me?"

Professor Snape knocked on the door and came in, nodding to Glenn as a greeting.

Since Draco's Occlumency was not yet available, in order to protect the safety of both parties, the thoughtful Dumbledore arranged for him to leave before calling the Half-Blood Prince.

"Yes, Severus." Dumbledore waved his hand to conjure an armchair and motioned for him to sit down and chat. "As we speculated before, the child couldn't help but come to me after all."

Snape nodded, not looking surprised.

"I have to say that he came earlier than I expected. It seems that our old friend Lucius is really in big trouble this time." Dumbledore said, "You are right, Voldemort I have completely planned to abandon the Malfoy family."

"This is not surprising." Snape frowned, "Based on his performance at the Ministry of Magic this time, the Dark Lord did not execute him on the spot, probably just because he was concerned about other people's feelings. After all, Lucius followed He took so long..."

"You're right." Dumbledore changed to a comfortable sitting position and agreed, "But this is not that important. The main thing we should talk about now is how to take advantage of this opportunity."

"So, what you just said was not just to comfort Master Draco?" Glenn asked knowingly.

Dumbledore gave him a strange look and asked, "Of course, the opportunity is so rare, isn't that what you think?"

"I think about it, but I'm afraid it's not that simple." Glenn said thoughtfully, "Isn't your purpose just to injure Voldemort?"

"What do you think?" Dumbledore smiled slyly.

"If we just severely injure him, with his last experience and current power, I'm afraid it won't take long to reshape a new body..." Glenn thought and said, "In this way, he will be very good. You can quickly guess that Draco betrayed him. With this level of anger, even the Order of the Phoenix would find it difficult to save their family..."

"You are right," Dumbledore nodded approvingly, "So if we want to seize this opportunity, we must find a way to solve all the consequences at once."

"I understand what you mean, Professor." Glenn looked serious, "But we all know that Voldemort still has three Horcruxes, Hufflepuff's golden cup, the big snake, and Harry... It shouldn’t be that easy to solve so many problems in a short period of time, right?”

Dumbledore's expression was quite relaxed and he said with a smile: "So, this matter needs to be considered in the long term."

"Currently, among the three Horcruxes, the easiest one to solve is the golden cup hidden in Gringotts, but that is only relatively speaking. If you want to get the Horcruxes without alarming Voldemort, unless... "

Halfway through speaking, Glenn suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately showed a look of enlightenment.

"You don't want to... leave all the Horcruxes to be solved in one day, do you?"

Dumbledore looked at him with a smile and motioned for him to continue.

Glenn quickly went through it in his mind, and then said tentatively: "According to Voldemort's character, if the news of your death can be confirmed, he will definitely seize the opportunity that everyone has no time to guard against and attack Hogwarts as soon as possible. Yours You mean...at that time, you took the opportunity to break into Gringotts?"

"That's right." Dumbledore looked satisfied. "Use this opportunity, as long as you can succeed. With Voldemort's suspicion, if he gets such news, he will think that it is our strategy to trick him into leaving."

"This is a feasible idea..." Glenn said to himself, but the expression on his face was still a little uneasy, "If this is the case, how can we make him firmly believe that Draco has completed his What about his mission? You know, Voldemort doesn’t have any confidence in him..."

"Severus' help is needed when it comes to that."

The two foxes, big and small, spoke one word to you and the other to me. They spoke quickly but not very clearly, so that the Half-Blood Prince was still confused after listening for a long time.

"Me?" He showed a rare confused look, "How can I help?"

Dumbledore turned his eyes to him, smiled mysteriously, and said word for word: "I need you...to kill me with your own hands..."
