Standing on Downing Street, Fudge smiled. It was a worthwhile trip today.
Although it paid a certain price, as long as Dumbledore can be brought down, everything is worth it.
"Aoun, you go to the Daily Prophet and call the woman Rita Skeeter."
"Bechette, you go to Lockhart, he has always been in charge of Knockturn Alley, and he will handle the rest."
After a few simple orders, Fudge also went back to think about how to deal with Dumbledore.
He didn't notice that Kingsley, who followed him quietly, went to Hogwarts soon after.
In the Headmaster's Office, Dumbledore was closing his eyes and meditating. During this time, he was much busier than usual.
Voldemort's recovery caught him by surprise, and many arrangements had not been completed.
If nothing else, even the Order of the Phoenix, which had been disbanded for more than ten years, was in the rebuilding stage.
Many of the older generations have withdrawn from the strife in the wizarding world. They have fought with Voldemort for half their lives, and it is time to take care of them.
Dumbledore could only absorb some fresh blood, but he found that the new wizards did not succeed much.
The best young guys so far are Bill and Charlie from the Weasleys.
At this moment, Kingsley walked in with a solemn expression.
Dumbledore's heart sank. Kingsley was a nail he had placed beside Fudge.
Now that he looks like this, there must be some bad news from Fudge.
When Kingsley finished talking about today's experience, Dumbledore's mood was even worse.
Has Alvin gone completely to his opposite?
Thinking of this little wizard who has been different since he entered the first grade, Dumbledore is also in a trance.
Before Alvin, Voldemort was the best student ever at Hogwarts.
Not to mention, it was unimaginable for ordinary people to be able to make such a terrifying object as Horcruxes when he was still a student.
But since the appearance of Alvin, Voldemort's achievements have become eclipsed.
In the first grade, he was fighting head-to-head with Voldemort's remnant.
In the second grade, destroying Tom Riddle's Diary with Fiendfyre.
In his third year, Alvin disguised himself as him and fought ten elite Aurors including Scrimgeour.
It seems that Alvin was born a legend, destined to be the man at the top of the wizarding world.
And all along, Dumbledore is also very reassured that Alvin does not have the distorted personality of Voldemort. He understands what friendship is and what love is.
The second is that since entering school, Alvin has been hostile to Voldemort and is an ally who is naturally on his side.
Sometimes Dumbledore wonders if Trelawney's predictions were accurate.
No matter how he looks at it, Alvin is more likely to destroy Voldemort than Harry.
So far, several of Voldemort's Horcruxes have all been destroyed by Alvin while Harry is still in the formative stage.
But then, Voldemort returns.
The entire magical community should have united against the darkness. Still, Fudge jumped out and made trouble, pulling Alvin over to hide the truth together.
This gave Dumbledore a bit of a headache.
Fawkes fell on his shoulders and squeaked a few times as if trying to dispel the sadness in his heart.
Dumbledore smiled, fed him some crumbs, and looked at Kingsley in high spirits.
"For the time being, we don't need to worry about the pressure on Gaunt's side. After all, he still gave me some respect as the Headmaster, and he didn't completely stand on Fudge's side."
"As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke him, he won't do anything excessive."
Kingsley was in a hurry. "Professor, Gaunt was hiding too deep in Knockturn Alley. According to Ministry of Magic information, he had been integrated by Knockturn Alley as early as his second year."
"Since the second year he has been very shrewd. He's even scarier than Voldemort!"
As an Auror with a sense of justice, Kingsley felt Alvin's actions were all planning a huge conspiracy.
"Kingsley, we are in a very dangerous situation." Dumbledore sighed. "Voldemort is lurking in the dark, and he has called his Death Eaters."
"Some Order of the Phoenix members have recently followed several Death Eaters at my request, and they are very active, apparently on some mission."
"Even the day before yesterday, Nymphadora was injured."
"What?"
Kingsley instantly sat up straight, a little nervous. "How is her condition? Is it serious?"
Dumbledore signaled Kingsley to feel at ease. "Lupin rushed to rescue her at a critical moment, and after using Fawkes's tears, it's no big deal."
Fawkes on his shoulder let out a dissatisfied cry. Dumbledore asked him for many tears recently.
Fawkes felt that his eyes were much drier than before.
Kingsley also breathed a sigh of relief. Nymphadora was not only his junior Auror in the Ministry of Magic but also a comrade-in-arms who joined the Order of the Phoenix together. The relationship between the two was excellent.
"So, we are already awful now, and if we go to provoke another Gaunt, it will be Voldemort who will benefit in the end."
Kingsley couldn't refute Dumbledore's persuasion. He remembered Alvin's terrifying strength, and he was still shocked now.
Except for Dumbledore, the entire Order of the Phoenix may not be enough for him.
Kingsley's expression was complicated, "Professor, you are right. Voldemort is the biggest threat. What else do I need to do next?"
Dumbledore looked out the window in London's direction. "I have arranged for Mundungus and Figg to protect Harry, but it is not enough. Their strength is too weak."
"In the event of a situation, you and Moody need to rush over as soon as possible. I have a hunch that Voldemort will definitely do something to Harry."
Kingsley nodded, knowing Harry's importance too.
"I understand. Just let me know at any time."
"Fudge trusts me very much now, and I will keep you informed if anything happens."
Finally, before Kingsley left, Dumbledore gave him a note.
"What is this?"
"The new address of the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius contributed his ancestral home. You can enter after reading it."
