Starting Over at Hogwarts

Chapter 58: Dumbledore's "Operation Christmas"

Peter Pettigrew is very cunning.

Mainly because Peter Pettigrew is too good at forbearance.

Even Dumbledore and Snape, two people who often deal with the Dark Lord, have already decided that Peter Pettigrew's cunning alone is enough to deserve the title of the third generation of the Dark Lord.

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

Snape looked at Dumbledore with burning eyes, slowly stroked his chin, and asked in a deep voice, "Dumbledore, what would you do then? At least you won't be in school every day like you do now. …”

"you're right."

Dumbledore nodded earnestly.

It is precisely because Dumbledore has been sitting at Hogwarts that Peter Pettigrew has been throwing his hat on the mouse.

"Severus..."

Dumbledore frowned, and slowly raised his head to look at Severus Snape, his voice gradually became deeper: "In fact, today's event is also an opportunity for us ... When things generate greed, his flaws will be exposed."

Now that Peter Pettigrew has set his sights on the Hogwarts treasure, it's not entirely a bad thing for them.

Anyone who has a greedy heart can easily be blinded by greed.

Of course.

Even so, Dumbledore couldn't underestimate Peter Pettigrew.

If you want to catch a Dark Lord who likes to play tricks and tricks, just some ordinary tricks will not work.

Perhaps a little more attention is needed.

It just so happened that 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 looked at Snape, his eyes reappeared with the wisdom that belonged to the old man: "Severus, do you think that for Peter, what he wants most now is Ravenclaw's The crown, or the sword of Gryffindor?"

"..."

Snape wrapped his clothes a little bit tightly, fell into deep thought again, and said word by word, "Then let's see...for him...what is the most needed thing right now..."

"Our thoughts are the same."

Dumbledore's eyes became deep, and he 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 that the thing that belonged to Tom was Voldemort's Horcrux, they had been speculating that Peter Pettigrew 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 black magic item, although we don't know whether the Gryffindor sword can do it, But it's the most likely..."

"so…"

Snape quickly guessed Dumbledore's thoughts, and pondered, "Are we going to use the Gryffindor sword as a bait to catch him?"

"No, of course not."

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

Yes.

If this kind of plan is too simple, Peter Pettigrew will definitely not be fooled.

Therefore, Dumbledore had to find a way to complicate this plan, and coupled with Peter Pettigrew's greed, it was possible to lure Peter Pettigrew to take the bait.

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

Dumbledore calmly began to explain his plan, and said softly: "At Christmas, I will leave the school with the crown of Ravenclaw and go to Godric's Hollow, and invite some people to go to Godric's Hollow to study Ravenclaw's Hollow. The crown of Vinclaw, I believe Peter will receive the news soon..."

"He can't be fooled."

Snape couldn't help shaking his head. He thought that Peter Pettigrew couldn't be fooled: "This kind of plan is too simple, he must know that there must be a conspiracy in Godric's Hollow..."

"Peter probably won't go to Godric's Hollow."

Dumbledore looked at Snape slowly, and continued softly: "But... if I wasn't at the school at that time, do you think Peter would sneak into the school to come and steal the Gryffindor sword?"

"..."

This is really a somewhat insidious plan!

If Dumbledore goes to Godric's Hollow with Ravenclaw's crown, it means that there is no wizard in Hogwarts who can threaten Peter Pettigrew, and that guy will definitely sneak into the school again to find the most important things to him. Useful Gryffindor Sword!

No wonder Dumbledore put the plan at Christmas, because that was when the students at Hogwarts were on vacation.

This principal...

The safety of the students was also taken into consideration.

Dumbledore faintly looked like he was holding a pearl of wisdom, as if he had become the strongest white wizard in the magic world again: "At that time, I would stay in Hogsmeade Village near the school, as long as Peter sneaked into the school and we were aware of it. , I'll be back right away..."

After thinking for a while, Snape quickly raised a new objection: "What if Peter saw through our plan ahead of time and chose Godric's Hollow to steal Ravenclaw's crown?"

"Snape."

Dumbledore looked at Snape, and the old man became slightly tough: "Only the weak have to make a choice... No matter where he chooses to go, we have time."

Yes.

Only the weak will choose.

For Dumbledore, at Christmas, whether Peter Pettigrew chooses to go to Godric's Hollow to steal Ravenclaw's crown or to Hogwarts to take the Gryffindor Sword, Dumbledore thinks he A problem with being able to get anywhere in time to catch him ~www.wuxiahere.com~ now is...

Gryffindor's sword is readily available...

Where is Ravenclaw's crown?

"In fact, there is no need for a real crown."

Dumbledore pondered for a while, and came up with an idea: "No one has seen that treasure, I can entrust my friend Nicole Lemay to help make one. He has super-high alchemy skills, even if it is fake. It shouldn't let anyone see any flaws..."

"..."

This is really a bloodbath!

Nicole Lemay is the most powerful alchemist in the entire magic world. He even used alchemy to create a magic stone that can last forever. The items he made are all precious.

Say something unkind.

If Nicole Lemay carefully faked a fake crown, its rarity would not be much lower than the real Ravenclaw crown, and it would be enough to fool most of the magic world.

Now that their plan is roughly finished, they just need to wait until the Christmas break to see if Peter Pettigrew will take the bait...

Just at this time, Professor Minerva McGonagall opened the door of the school doctor's office, followed by Professor Sprout, and now the deans of the four colleges are all there.

"Dumbledore?"

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

"no problem."

Dumbledore turned around and said softly, "That little guy in Wesson's pet shocked Peter Pettigrew before Peter had time to cast the Unforgivable Curse on Filius..."

"Thank goodness..."
