Chapter 410 404. What if the prison is bombed?
Mr. Weasley was still confused and asked quickly: “What do you mean?”
“Mr. Weasley, please answer me a question. If our Minister of Magic is as powerful as Professor Dumbledore, and has the same mind as another Dumbledore. And he stands unswervingly on Professor Dumbledore’s side. By the way, do you think everyone will feel at ease? Do the Death Eaters dare to invade the Ministry of Magic? If he and Professor Dumbledore join forces, can they defeat Senior Tom?”
“That is inevitable, but Fudge is already dead. Even if he is not dead, it is impossible to join forces with Albus. Even if they join forces, he has already tried his best not to hold back.”
It’s not that Mr. Weasley looks down on Fudge, Fudge’s ability is obvious to all the people in the Ministry of Magic – ‘he can’t do anything, and he is the first to do bad things’.
“It was ‘this’ cowardly Fudge who died.”
Dudley corrected, the implication couldn’t have been more obvious.
“You mean,” Mr. Weasley finally understood, “but where are we going to find such a person?”
The topic returned to the most critical point.
Percy was silent, Scrimgeour was thoughtful, and Dumbledore stopped talking.
The three of them had different expressions, but it was certain that they knew who Dudley was talking about.
“Isn’t there just one in Austria? And he’s also our fifth-year Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.”
“As long as our Professor Dumbledore agrees.”
Austria. Among the wizards who are close to Dumbledore in terms of strength, Mr. Weasley only has the one from Nurmengard Prison in his memory.
“How is it possible? Wait, how could he be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?” Mr. Weasley obviously thought of who it was, and quickly turned to look at Dumbledore, trying to get the answer from him: “Albus, This is real?!”
What awaited was Dumbledore’s silence.
That is to say
it is true.
“Albus, how could you let him be a professor?!”
“That’s a very dangerous dark wizard,” Mr. Weasley warned.
Although he had not seen Grindelwald in person, it did not prevent him from knowing that the other party was a very dangerous wizard.
Dudley asked back: “No matter how dangerous it is, is that senior Tom dangerous?”
“Aren’t you worried about him joining forces with the Dark Lord?”
Mr. Weasley asked again, “They all aim to dominate other people.”
Faced with Mr. Weasley’s question, Dudley answered quite simply: “Don’t worry, they have different philosophies. Pure-blood Professor Gellert does not reject mixed-blood wizards, while mixed-blood Senior Tom only supports pure-blood theory.”
If Grindelwald would join forces with Voldemort, the probability is not much greater than that of Dumbledore defecting to the enemy. Even without Dumbledore, there would be a fierce battle between the two.
“How do you guarantee it?” Mr. Weasley was bound to ask.
Dudley directly asked this question to Dumbledore: “You can ask Professor Dumbledore about this.”
“He is a man of his word and promised me that he would stay in that prison for the rest of his life.”
After being silent for a while, Dumbledore spoke. He neither affirmed Mr. Weasley nor agreed with Dudley, but emphasized at the end: “He will not come out.”
In a sense, he is already on Mr. Weasley’s side.
“Yes, Professor Garrett will definitely keep his promise.”
Dudley agreed with Dumbledore’s words, and then changed the topic: “But what if the prison is bombed? What if the place of restriction disappears?”
“.”
“Bombed? How is that possible?”
Mr. Weasley first shook his head in denial, then thought of Dudley’s current ability, and then said: “Don’t you want to…”
“It’s not me. That’s illegal.”
“It’s Senior Tom.”
Dudley said righteously, although he was not convincing at all.
“It’s impossible for the Dark Lord to go to that place even if he goes there.” Mr. Weasley shook his head like a rattle.
“No, he will go. As long as he wants to find out the secret of the Elder Wand, he will go to Professor Gellert.”
With Voldemort’s ability, it would be easy to find out that the last user of the Elder Wand was Grindelwald.
In order to learn the secret of the Elder Wand, he must go to Nurmengard Prison.
“Professor Garrett will never tell Senior Tom that it is reasonable for Senior Tom, who is so murderous, to blow up a prison or something out of anger, right?”
If it was Voldemort’s character, he could really do such a thing.
That thing is a destructive maniac.
“How can you guarantee that he will not reveal the secret of the Elder Wand?”
“Gellert wouldn’t do that.”
It was not Dudley who answered him, but Dumbledore: “He can get out of that prison anytime he wants.”
Would Grindelwald be trapped in a prison, if not voluntarily?
“What exactly do you want to do? Dudley.”
Dumbledore’s blue eyes stared at Dudley, as if he wanted to see through him.
“I just want you to join forces with Professor Gellert to add a layer of insurance against Senior Tom, that’s all.”
If Dumbledore and Grindelwald team up, Voldemort seems to be really invincible.
He really didn’t deceive Dumbledore about this, and there was no need to stand against Voldemort just because he had repeatedly destroyed Voldemort’s Horcruxes, and because of his identity as Harry Potter’s cousin.
The main reason is that Dudley doesn’t want to defeat Voldemort purely by relying on the blessing of the protagonist’s aura like the original work. That way there are too many surprises, and if there is a slight mistake, it will be another ending. No matter how you think about it, it is unreliable, so he will still take the initiative. It’s better to have the power in your own hands.
Maximize available resources.
“Now you all regard Dumbledore as your hope against Senior Tom. But you have to know that he is over a hundred years old, and Senior Tom’s recent plans have been targeting Professor Dumbledore, wanting to kill him. ”
“If we don’t prepare in advance, if something happens to the professor, how low do you think our morale will fall? Will anyone still dare to stand up to him?”
“Who do you expect at that time? Harry? Or me?”
Mr. Weasley and Scrimgeour nodded repeatedly, feeling that it made sense. Even Dumbledore was lost in thought.
Only Percy, who had been with Dudley for the longest time, had no reaction on his face. In his mind, Dudley was already equated with Voldemort, specifically in terms of strength.
“The more you fear him and the less you dare to resist him, the more powerful he will be.”
“If everyone is no longer afraid of him, then is the so-called Dark Lord still scary?”
I don’t know if it’s Dudley’s illusion. He has been taking time to research recently. He always feels that Voldemort’s power is abnormally strong. It seems to be related to other people’s fear of him. The more people fear him, the stronger his power will be. Like some Yellow Lantern Corps.
