Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort - Chapter 232

c232 Cyrus and Dumbledore’s plan

Harry really didn’t understand.

What did Snape have to do with the fact that he took the Resurrection Stone given to him by Cyrus to take a look at his dead mother?

And he had obviously seen his father, but Snape didn’t even mention it, as if James didn’t exist. Of course, it wasn’t the first day that Harry knew that Snape and his father didn’t get along.

Sometimes when he was with Sirius during the holidays, Sirius would pick out some of Snape’s embarrassing stories to make fun of him. Almost most of Snape’s embarrassing stories were caused by the four people led by James.

Harry felt particularly happy when listening, because Sirius couldn’t be so fair when telling stories. Those stories sounded like an evil villain getting the punishment he deserved when they fell into Harry’s ears.

To this day, Sirius still regrets that he didn’t just kill Snape in the Shrieking Shack at that time.

“The Resurrection Stone that Cyrus gave you?” Snape grabbed Harry’s collar, his hollow pupils seemed to want to throw Harry into the bottomless abyss.

He was very annoyed now. Such a good thing, Cyrus actually gave it to Harry Potter?

This kid was arrogant and conceited, only causing trouble, and he didn’t know how to use the Resurrection Stone at all!

“You should immediately and immediately revive Lily Evans – your mother!”

“Right now! Right here, in front of me!”

Snape threw Harry heavily to the ground, he gasped, and seemed to be mentally abnormal.

Harry felt a huge fear in his heart when he looked at Snape at this moment. He had never seen Snape lose his temper like this, even when Hermione burned his robes in the first grade, he didn’t make him so angry and crazy.

Moreover, why did he have to let himself revive his mother?

At this moment, an idea that made him feel absurd and scary actually emerged in Harry’s mind. He thought of the fairy tale, where the second child fell into madness and pain after resurrecting his lover – exactly the same as Snape’s current appearance.

If this guess is true, then Harry thinks he probably understands why Snape always has a quarrel with his father.

“The Resurrection Stone can’t really resurrect a person.” Harry tried to explain to Snape, “It can only summon something that is more real than the soul, but more unreal than the real person. In addition…”

He looked at Snape strangely and cautiously tested: “Why do you care so much about my mother? And, her name is Lily Potter.”

Her name is Lily Potter.

Snape’s mind echoed with Harry’s voice, which made him even more annoyed and angry.

Lily Potter?

You don’t need to remind me!

“Her real name is Lily Evans, and I know your mother better than you do!” Snape said angrily.

Then she is also my mother.

Harry wanted to say this, but Snape had already stopped him in his tracks and reached out to take out the Resurrection Stone from Harry’s pocket.

“Wait, you can’t do that!” Harry panicked.

He was afraid that Snape would really try to resurrect his mother. If he succeeded, Lily would only sink into pain forever after resurrection.

“Why can’t I?” Snape pinched the sharp edges of the Resurrection Stone with two fingers, and his eyes showed desire. “If the Resurrection Stone can’t really resurrect the dead, why did Cyrus give it to you?”

“Maybe because he needs me to die willingly?”

“What?”

Snape was stunned. He didn’t even realize that the Resurrection Stone fell from his fingertips to the ground.

At this moment, he looked at Harry with an unbelievable and angry look, and his voice was low.

“You said… he wants you to die?”

“What’s wrong, are you so happy?” Harry looked at Snape, who was motionless, strangely. He thought Snape would be very happy after knowing that his rival’s child was about to die.

But the result seems not to be like this.

Snape looked very angry at the moment, and Harry rarely felt that this anger was not directed at him.

“He asked you to die?”

“He said he was your friend, he said he cared about you more than Dumbledore, but he asked you to die?!” Snape suddenly felt that he was deceived.

After meeting Cyrus in Godric’s Hollow, he returned to Hogwarts to question Dumbledore and learned that Dumbledore had similar plans. These two people raised this child like raising a pig to be slaughtered!

Harry was very surprised by Snape’s reaction, but he still explained for Cyrus.

“He didn’t say that, but I am Voldemort’s Horcrux. This is destined. Only when I die can Voldemort be eliminated.”

Harry didn’t know why he said such words to Snape. He didn’t tell anyone about this, including her best friend and the closest Sirius. When facing them, Harry couldn’t say it, but when talking to Snape, he could easily say it.

Maybe he thought Snape wouldn’t worry about him like the others?

But Snape’s reaction was beyond Harry’s expectations.

“I want to ask him clearly!” He almost rushed out the door.

But Harry stopped him.

“Wait,” Harry blocked the door, opened his hands, and blocked Snape’s way.

“This is my own decision. No one forced me.” The green eyes stared at Snape, making the dark Snape suffer. “You just need to follow his instructions and teach me how to learn the brain block.”

—

Cyrus actually realized this moment when he temporarily gave the Resurrection Stone to Harry for safekeeping.

Harry was not so talented in the brain block, and it was normal for Snape to see all the memories in his head.

However, he did not expect Harry to handle the relationship between him and Snape by himself. Cyrus thought that Snape would come to him angrily to question him, but in fact he did not.

At this moment, in the Burrow.

Dumbledore sat at the table in the messy living room, and the Weasleys sat on both sides. In addition to them, Sirius, Lupin, Alastor Moody were also present…

“I hope everyone understands why I gathered everyone here.” Dumbledore has now lost the power of time and turned back into the white-haired old man.

But I have to say that he might look more reassuring this way.

Dumbledore looked a little too cold and sharp when he was young.

“Dumbledore, you mean to say that the You-Know-Who is really resurrected, right?” Mr. Weasley said this while glancing at Cyrus who was sitting at the other end of the table.

Not long ago, Dumbledore also said that Cyrus was Voldemort. Of course, it was later proved that they were actually not the same.

But this time, it’s probably not a misunderstanding.

“Fudge, that idiot!” Moody angrily knocked his cane hard on the ground, venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, “He blocked the news and never mentioned anything about the You-Know-Who. Before, there was Rita Skeeter who was willing to report it, but now, the Daily Prophet has blacklisted Skeeter.”

I don’t know when the magic eye on his cheek was replaced, and it seems that it doesn’t have the magic power of the previous one, but it still turns around, which looks creepy.

“They are smearing you, Albus!” Alastor said angrily.

Not only Dumbledore, but Fudge is also using the Daily Prophet to secretly discredit Cyrus. Anyone who wants to mention the mysterious man will be declared a conspirator.

Fudge has successfully deceived himself. Unless he sees Voldemort with his own eyes, he will never believe it.

But Dumbledore sighed and said, “I’m afraid the situation will be even worse.”

Since Voldemort appeared in the Department of Mysteries, he has begun to contact all parties, hoping that after the wizard war is started again, the British wizarding world will not be isolated like last time.

But it is precisely because of this that Dumbledore found something wrong.

He realized that the French Ministry of Magic might have been completely controlled by the Death Eaters. Now Voldemort has the power of an entire country – or even more – who knows how many dark wizards in the British wizarding world will join him once he officially announces his arrival?

“But we have you and Cyrus.” Sirius spread his hands, he was more optimistic than everyone else, “Now it’s not the era when the You-Know-Who can do whatever he wants. Didn’t Cyrus beat him and make him flee?”

“No one can guarantee that he will always win, Sirius.” Dumbledore shook his head.

Cyrus nodded in agreement.

It was not so easy for him to repel Voldemort this time. In addition to his own plan, it was also because the Elder Wand suddenly turned against him. Otherwise, the outcome would be hard to say.

When Voldemort changed his wand again, he might not be able to win back.

As long as he had a slight advantage, he might be able to regain control of the Elder Wand.

Not to mention, their enemies might not be just Voldemort.

“What did Grindelwald say?” Cyrus asked, he wanted to know if Dumbledore had dealt with Grindelwald.

To be honest, even if Grindelwald attacked Cyrus, Cyrus actually didn’t have any emotions. If he really wanted to fight, he wouldn’t be afraid at all, but it would be wrong for you to help Voldemort.

Speaking of Grindelwald, Dumbledore was also distressed.

“I will find a way to deal with him.” Dumbledore said seriously, “It would be best if Voldemort could be defeated again, so that the Death Eaters in the French magic world will also scatter.”

Cyrus laughed.

He already had a plan, but it was not easy to tell others.

So far, only Dumbledore knew Cyrus’s plan.

The relationship between them was a bit complicated. Dumbledore personally sent Cyrus to Azkaban, but after all, Cyrus thought Dumbledore was a trustworthy person.

And this plan can be said to coincide with Dumbledore.

“Anyway, I need you to act immediately and slowly reverse the situation in France, just in case.” Dumbledore said, “At the same time, you also need to contact the tribes of the subhuman race, especially the giants, which are a very powerful fighting force.”

Almost all subhuman races are the objects that Dumbledore wants to win over, giants, centaurs, goblins…

But Cyrus is not very optimistic about Dumbledore’s idea.

The Ministry of Magic has been very harsh on subhumans for so many years, and it may not be feasible to ask them for help now when they are needed. What’s more, Voldemort is better at making empty promises.

But if the plan goes well, this chess piece will never be used.

“Hagrid, leave the giant to you. Kingsley, you still stay in the Auror team to make sure we can understand the position of the Ministry of Magic. We need to know whether the Ministry of Magic is our friend or our enemy.” Dumbledore gave orders one by one, “Molly, I hope you and Arthur will go to France together. You don’t need to do too dangerous work, just make sure whether the Death Eaters have affected the lives of wizards…”

“From today I will restart the Order of the Phoenix!”

Dumbledore said excitedly.

At the same time, he also glanced at Cyrus.

“Fawkes likes you very much, do you want to join the Order of the Phoenix too?”

“No, I have my own team.” Cyrus stood up from the chair, “See you at Hogwarts, Dumbledore.”

Back at Hogwarts, Cyrus came to the empty principal’s office with ease. Fawkes circled around him, and the exquisite Gryffindor sword was placed on the table by Dumbledore, as if it was an ornament.

Cyrus was waiting for Dumbledore to come back, intending to talk to him about the plan and see if he could set a trap for Voldemort.

But at this time, a portrait on the wall suddenly spoke.

“I’ve been trying to contact you, Cyrus.” Fitzgerald opened his eyes immediately when he saw Cyrus appear.

“What’s the matter, Nioufer?” Cyrus asked kindly.

“There is a strange thing,” Fitzgerald in the portrait thought for a while and said, “Not long ago, a shadow went to the Pavilion of Knowledge. But none of our four guardians were there at the time, so we didn’t see who it was.”

“The Pavilion of Knowledge? Are there any secrets there?”

The legacy left by Morgana, which was sealed under the ground of the Pavilion of Knowledge, had been taken away by Cyrus. Logically, there should be nothing else there.

Fitzgerald also shook his head.

“Nothing.”

“Could it be that Voldemort did not give up and went to have another look? Or is it the shadow left behind by Voldemort after he went to a different time through the time converter?” Cyrus had these two guesses in his mind.

But no matter what, he decided to have a look.

At this time, green flames suddenly appeared in the fireplace.

Dumbledore came out vigorously and said immediately: “Voldemort is a person who is very afraid of death. Before he makes any move, he will definitely find a way to regain the ownership of the Elder Wand. We must make you strong enough to fight him!”

In fact, the plan is very simple, weaken the enemy and strengthen yourself!

– Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand and placed it in front of Cyrus.
