Chapter 58 "Operation Christmas" by Dumbledore

Pettigrew Peter is very cunning.

Mainly because Pettigrew Peter is too good at forbearance.

Even Dumbledore and Snape, both of whom frequently dealt with the Dark Lord, had decided that Pettigrew Peter's cunning alone was worthy of the title third generation Dark Lord.

"If we all think he left Hogwarts..."

Snape looked towards Dumbledore with burning eyes, stroked his chin slowly, and solemnly asked: "Dumbledore, then. What are you going to do? At least not in school every day..."

"You're right."

Dumbledore nodded seriously.

It is precisely because Dumbledore has been sitting at Hogwarts that Pettigrew Peter has been refraining from shooting at the rat for fear of breaking the vases, not daring to make a rash shot in the school, and can only sneakily look for opportunities.

"Severus..."

Dumbledore's brows tightly knitted, slowly lifted the head to look at Severus Snape, his voice gradually became deeper: "In fact, today's event It's also an opportunity for us... When a person becomes greedy for anything, his weak spot is exposed."

Now, Pettigrew Peter has his eye on the Hogwarts treasure, which is very true. It's not all a bad thing for them.

Anyone who is greedy can easily be blinded by greed.

Of course.

Even so, Dumbledore impossible to underestimate Pettigrew Peter.

To catch a Dark Lord who likes to play with crafty plots and machinations, just some ordinary little tricks won't work.

Maybe a little more attention is needed.

For Dumbledore, the most important thing this old man lacked was courage.

As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved, any precious treasure is within the scope of being willing.

Dumbledore stared at Snape, the old man's wisdom reappearing in his eyes: "Severus, do you think Peter wants Ravenclaw's crown the most right now, or Where's the Gryffindor's sword?"

"..."

Snape wrapped his clothes a little, fell back into thought, opened the mouth and said word by word : "Then let's see...for him...what's the most needed thing right now..."

"We're on the same page."

Dumbledore's eyes darkened He got up and said softly, "According to our previous guess, he should be holding something that belongs to Tom..."

Dumbledore didn't explain much.

Because Snape must have known the thing that belonged to Tom, it was Voldemort's Horcrux, and they had been speculating that Pettigrew Peter had Voldemort's Horcrux in his hands.

Dumbledore seemed to have firmed his mind, and continued in a deep voice: "What he needs most now is to find a treasure that can destroy that dark magic item, although we don't know if the Gryffindor sword can do it. But it's the most likely..."

"So..."

Snape quickly guessed what Dumbledore was thinking, pondered then said: "We're going to use Gryffindor Is the sword used as bait to catch him?"

"No, of course not."

Dumbledore suddenly shook the head, as if talking to himself, and asked himself, "If If the plan is too straightforward, he won't be fooled..."

Yes.

Pettigrew Peter must have been fooled if the plan was too simplistic.

So Dumbledore had to figure out a way to complicate the plan, plus Pettigrew Peter's greed to lure Pettigrew Peter into taking the bait.

"Of course, at least let him think our plan is straightforward."

Dumbledore calmly began to elaborate his plan, whispering: "At Christmas, I'll be leaving school with Ravenclaw's crown to Godric's Hollow, inviting some people to Godric's Hollow to study Ravenclaw's crown, I'm sure Peter will get the news soon..."

"He's impossible fooled."

Snape couldn't help but shook the head, thinking that Pettigrew Peter had been fooled: "It's such a simple plan, he must know that Godric's Hollow must have a conspiracy..."

"Peter Probably not at Godric's Hollow."

Dumbledore looked towards Snape slowly, and continued softly, "But...if I wasn't at school at the time, do you think Peter would infiltrate the school and want to come and steal the Gryffindor? Where's the sword?"

"..."

This is a bit of a sinister plan!
If Dumbledore goes to Godric's Hollow with Ravenclaw's crown, that means there is no wizard in Hogwarts who can threaten Pettigrew Peter, and that guy will surely infiltrate the school again in search of stealing the Gryffindor sword that is most useful to him!
No wonder Dumbledore put this plan into action on Christmas Day, when the students at Hogwarts School were on holiday.

This headmaster …

also considers the safety of the students.

Dumbledore has a faint look of endowed with extraordinary intelligence, as if he has become the strongest white wizard in the magic circle: "At that time, I will stay in Hogsmeade Village near the school, as long as Peter infiltrate school If we notice, I'll be right back..."

After thinking for a while, Snape quickly raised a new objection: "In case Peter sees through our plan ahead of time, he chooses Godric's Hollow to steal Where's Ravenclaw's crown?"

"Snape."

Dumbledore looked at Snape, and the old man's body grew slightly tough: "Only the weak have to choose...whether he We all have time to choose where to go."

Yes.

Only the weak will choose.

For Dumbledore, at Christmas time, Dumbledore thought he could get anywhere in time, whether Pettigrew Peter chose to go to Godric's Hollow to steal Ravenclaw's crown or Hogwarts to grab the Gryffindor sword. he.

The question now is...

Gryffindor's sword is ready...

Where is Ravenclaw's crown?

"Actually don't need a real crown either."

Dumbledore thought for a while, then came up with an idea: "No one has seen that treasure, I can entrust mine My friend Nicholas Flamel helped to make one, he has a super high alchemy skill, even if it's fake, it shouldn't let people see any weak spot..."

"..."

This is really a bloodbath!

Nicholas Flamel is the most powerful alchemist in the entire magic circle. He even used alchemy to create Philosopher's Stone which can immortality. The items he created are all precious.

Say something unkind.

If Nicholas Flamel had crafted a fake crown, it wouldn't be much less rare than the real Ravenclaw crown, enough to fool most people in magic circle.

Now that their plans are roughly done, just have to wait until the Christmas break to see if Pettigrew Peter will take the bait...

Just in time, Minerva ·Professor McGonagall pushed open the door of the school doctor's office, followed by Professor Sprout, and now the four Head of Houses have all arrived.

"Dumbledore?"

Professor Minerva McGonagall glanced at several people present, walked to the hospital bed, and asked about Professor Flitwick's situation: "How is Filius? "

"No problem."

Dumbledore turned around and said softly, "That little fellow Wesson's pet surprised Pettigrew Peter before Peter had time to use Unforgivable on Filius." Curse..."

"Thank God..."

Don't raise a book, everyone will go to Sanjiang soon!
