"..."

Grindelwald, standing in front of the window, was listening and thinking.

Was this the work of his old friend Dumbledore?

Does not look like.

Dumbledore prefers subtle influence and likes to promote elite action.

This method of guiding public sentiment and mobilizing the masses.

It looks a bit like his handwriting.

It would be interesting if it wasn't Dumbledore.

It is possible that Professor Lockhart...had made a mistake.

Grindelwald listened to Philo Shafik's story and asked directly, "Philo, how is the Potions Professor that Dumbledore sent to find Lockhart doing now?"

After hearing this, Philo thought about it, as if he had thought of something, and said with a smile.

"Professor Snape should be eating snow in Russia now."

at the same time....

Snape looked at the icy and snowy environment outside, the Muggles walking back and forth wrapped in thick clothes, and... the densely written Russian words on the shop sign outside.

The corners of his eyes twitched, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.

Just left Africa and agreed to return to England.

but.....

Why did you come to Russia?

Chapter 307: Voldemort Returns, Karkaroff's Plan (Two in One)

Malfoy Manor, meeting hall.

"Three wizards from our Parkinson family are missing."

"The two wizards sent by our Carrow family are missing."

"One of the Nott family is missing."

"........"

The bright candlelight emitted a bright glow, illuminating the gloomy faces of every pure-blood wizard in front of the conference table.

"We, the Frank family, have a wizard currently under guard by the Ministry of Magic Aurors."

Lil Frank, who was sitting in the front seat, said in a cold tone.

"As soon as we captured the man, the Squibs started to move and Dumbledore arrived."

"This cannot be explained by coincidence."

Having said that, Lil Frank waved his wand and a flyer appeared in front of each wizard.

It was distributed to all wizards in the surrounding area during the Squib Parade.

"Loud slogans, wonderful stories, and lots of leaflets."

"It's obvious that someone set up the game in advance and calculated all our reactions."

Hearing Frank's angry tone, all the wizards present understood even more.

The Frank family suffered the most from this operation.

The wizard of their family was caught on the spot, sent to the Aurors, and is now imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic.

If this matter is not handled properly, the Frank family will become the scapegoat.

Of course, the most likely outcome is that the Frank family will not sit idly by and will drag them down with it.

"Don't worry, Frank. This won't end like this." Ale Rozier comforted him, "Garman Frank's matter is the matter of all of us. We won't let it go."

"Yes, this time it is aimed at all of our pure-blood families. We must work together."

"..."

The representatives of the pure-blood families nearby also echoed.

This made the Frank family and several other families that suffered losses feel better.

Then, a wizard from the Rawl family suggested: "Everyone, our plan has not failed yet."

"We can definitely put pressure on the Ministry of Magic to delay it."

"The most important thing now is to deal with Gilderoy Lockhart..."

"If he doesn't die, there will be a huge loophole in our plan."

"I suggest that we can't wait any longer and find an opportunity to kill Lockhart now. As long as he dies, the plan will not fail."

"I second the motion. As long as Lockhart dies, all their plots against us will be shattered."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

“…”

The proposal of the Rawl family was recognized by most people.

At this moment, suddenly, Ernst Shafik, the representative of the Shafik family, said: "Your proposal is naturally good."

"However, there are some issues that we cannot ignore."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes were focused on Ernst Rolle.

Ernst Roll saw this and said, "Since the other party has already calculated our actions."

"Then, will the other party also know about our hunting of Lockhart? Will there be any accidents in the process?"

"For example...Dumbledore's rescue!"

When Dumbledore was mentioned, most wizards felt their hearts sink and the meeting room fell silent.

If the other party has anticipated everything, the people they send out may not be their match.

Especially if Dumbledore went to rescue personally, the people they sent would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog, and they would never come back.

There is even the possibility that you may be caught by others.

In the silent meeting room, no one took the initiative to speak.

But after a moment, Lucius Malfoy said with some difficulty: "Don't worry about Dumbledore. I have a way to involve Dumbledore."

His expression was full of hesitation and struggle.

But after saying it, I felt like I had let go of a heavy burden in my heart.

After seeing this, the other wizards were curious, and Ernst Rohr asked with some concern: "Lucius, what method are you going to use?"

Hearing this, Lucius sighed and said, "This is what I was going to tell you all."

As he spoke, he pulled open his sleeve, revealing the Death Eater mark on his arm.

At the same time, he said in a heavy tone: "Everyone, the master is coming back."

Seeing the dark green Death Eater mark activated and the slight fluctuation of magic on Lucius' arm, everyone present stared at it.

As Death Eaters, they naturally knew who the master Lucius was referring to was.

The great Dark Lord——Voldemort!!!

"Lucius, really?"

"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"Lucius, that gentleman, is he really back?"

"........"

In an instant, the entire conference room became lively and everyone asked questions.

Some were cautious, some were skeptical, and others were filled with joy.

The different expressions show that everyone has different attitudes towards Voldemort's return.

At this moment, Lucius' mind flashed with the familiar fat figure and the black notebook in his hand.

Finally, he nodded heavily to everyone and said, "Everyone, what I said is true. I saw it with my own eyes."

"Besides, the master is very interested in our plan."

.............

Hogwarts, Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore sat at the desk, looking at Ian who was a little reserved in front of him.

Then, with a wave of his wand, an empty cup appeared in front of Ian.

At the same time, Dumbledore gently asked, "Ian, what would you like to drink? Tea? I see that your teacher Lockhart likes tea very much."

"Thank you, Principal. Tea will be fine." Ian replied quickly.

Hearing Ian's reply, Dumbledore tapped his wand lightly, and fragrant tea continued to flow out of the cup in front of Ian.

"Lockhart likes drinking tea very much. He often advises me to eat less sweets, which is good for the body." Dumbledore said with a smile: "However, it is difficult for an old man to change his habits."

As he spoke, honey began to flow out of the cup in front of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore took a sip of the honey, and Ian, seeing this, raised his cup and took a sip of the tea.

"Ian, did your teacher ask you to tell me something?"

Dumbledore asked gently after he put down the cup.

"Principal, the teacher reminded me to write to you if anything happens."

"Also, let me apologize to you." Ian said softly.

"The teacher mentioned that a good opportunity is hard to come by. If you miss this one, you don't know when you will get the next one."

Hearing this, Dumbledore sighed but said nothing more.

According to his idea, it is better to go slow and not be in a hurry.

If the conflict escalates suddenly, it will only cause more losses and may even be counterproductive.

Judging from the current situation.

The pure blood family can only kill Lockhart.

Lockhart must die, otherwise the pure-blood family will suffer a severe blow.

It seems...it's not safe for Snape to go to Durmstrang alone.

No matter what, I have to set off.

He didn't want his favorite student to die.

This Lockhart really doesn't listen to advice.

As the thought flashed through my mind, suddenly...

puff!puff!

An owl flapped its wings and flew in from the window with a letter in its beak.

When he saw the envelope, Dumbledore's expression changed.

Because he saw a familiar mark on the envelope.

Exactly...

Tom's Death Eater Mark!

Seeing this, Dumbledore closed his eyes slightly, as if he had thought of something, and looked hesitant, but soon became determined.

This made Ian on the opposite side feel a little confused.

Dumbledore waved his hand, the letter disappeared, and the owl left immediately.
