Chapter 323: Resurrection Plan Begins

I see!

Dumbledore glanced back at Snape's back, then walked towards the stairs as if nothing had happened.

'A new use of Occlumency ?' Dumbledore's mind churned slightly.

Legilimency and Occlumency to pass on information could be done silently in many situations. Even if Voldemort was right here, Snape could use this trick to pass information to Dumbledore.

However, although this trick was hidden, it was only suitable for very few wizards to use.

Firstly, it was difficult to learn Occlumency, and even more difficult to use Occlumency to falsify a memory.

Secondly, the difficulty of learning Legilimency is even higher than that of Occlumency, and it even requires a bit of talent to learn it.

'It looks like Severus will be able to pass on information more covertly in the future ...'

Without further thought, Dumbledore continued towards the ground floor.

***

Astronomy Tower.

Seeing Snape and Dumbledore meeting on the fourth floor and pausing on the stairs for so long. Andy immediately realised that Snape had copied his own trick.

"Tsk! Looks like I can claim a patent fee from Professor Snape." Andy muttered silently.

'But ... between Snape and Dumbledore, isn't there any other method of passing information?'

'Where did that note come from?'

'It's too unreliable, isn't it?'

'Huh? Snape?'

Snape's name appeared on the seventh floor of the castle on the Marauder's Map. He paused for a moment in front of the corridor that led to the Fat Lady's portrait, then headed back in the direction of the Astronomy Tower.

The Astronomy Tower?

"Mischief managed!"

Andy hurriedly switched off the Marauder's Map, then put it away and pretended like he was reading a book.

Snape: "..."

Since he had talked to Dumbledore about going to the Astronomy Tower, Snape had to make a show of doing it somehow.

But Snape never expected that Andy would be on the Astronomy Tower as well.

How come you're everywhere?

Snape's countenance was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

In Snape's impression, Andy was a sharp-witted young wizard, but he was likewise a loudmouth and a bit reckless in his character.

So Snape was worried that Andy would say something about Voldemort to him on a whim.

Well, during the morning class, Andy had brought Snape another impression.

Andy was cautious and concerned about the well-being of his family. When it came to his family, Andy wasn't as reckless as he appeared to be.

This was undoubtedly a good thing.

It also put Snape slightly at ease - God knows how much effort Snape had gone through to avoid Andy, he was really afraid that Andy would open his mouth and say: how about Voldemort's Horcrux?

"Professor Snape?"

Andy's face showed a slight difference, and then the corner of his mouth raised with a hint of a smile, "Professor Snape, Vo..."

Snape's expression changed drastically!

"Ooh! Whew!"

Andy blew out two breaths and said with a grumbling face, "Why is there so much ash on the Astronomy Tower? Oh, Professor Snape, good afternoon! What brings you to the Astronomy Tower?"

Snape's countenance was dark, and he really wanted to send Andy a shot of Avada Kedavra.

"I came up here to have a look!" Snape said in a grim tone.

"Okay!"

Andy signalled the books in his hand, "It's a nice view, I've been reading here for a while."

Snape gave Andy a sinister look, then turned around and walked towards the stairs.

"Professor Snape, you're leaving just like that?" Andy shouted.

As a matter of course, Andy did not receive any response from Snape either.

Shrugging, Andy sat down again.

'Can't talk ... Is it some sort of eavesdropping spell?'

'The Hogwarts version of wiretapping?'

Andy analysed in his mind, 'Currently, it seems that Snape has already passed information to Dumbledore. With Dumbledore co-ordinating the whole situation, nothing would probably go wrong.'

Thinking of this, Andy decisively stopped paying attention to this matter and quieted his mind to concentrate on his book.

***

Meanwhile, Malfoy Manor.

Inside the study, Lucius Malfoy walked around with an irritated expression, he felt that he was really unlucky during this period of time.

This summer, the Ministry of Magic suddenly announced that they were going to search for dark magic items, and he had lost a large amount of gold Galleons as a result.

Well! It was nothing really, he had money, and the small amount of money he lost could be considered as a bribe to the officials of the Ministry of Magic.

Lucius Malfoy could see that Fudge was already upset with Dumbledore - it was certainly due to his credit, and he had spent a lot of money on it.

But he had also lost Voldemort's dark magic item as a result.

It was an important item that Voldemort had specifically told him to guard well, as well as proof that Voldemort trusted him.

But he delivered it to Dumbledore.

Then ... Snape suddenly told him that Voldemort was still alive and had only temporarily lost his powers.

Oooh! Merlin's beard.

Only his wife knows just how long, Lucius hadn't had a good night's sleep since that day.

Especially, since his wretched schoolmate, Snape, had told Voldemort about him.

Well! He, Lucius Malfoy, was of course loyal to the Dark Lord.

With that, they began to prepare for the great resurrection of the Dark Lord.

But Lucius never expected that because he had united with the Hogwarts School Board, Dumbledore would notice him and even detect Voldemort's whereabouts as a result.

And that was a hell of a mess!

He, who had lost Voldemort's dark magic items.

He, who made Dumbledore aware of Voldemort's whereabouts and plans for his resurrection.

Lucius felt that when Voldemort resurrects, there is no way he will let him live under any circumstances.

'Perhaps he won't be resurrected successfully this time; since Dumbledore has already noticed him.'

Lucius thought with some annoyance, 'No, that's not right! If he succeeds in being resurrected, then I can take the credit for it. But if the resurrection fails ...'

'Resurrection failed ...'

Lucius gritted his teeth, 'Then don't ever resurrect!'

'Right! If the resurrection fails, then never resurrect.'

'But ... Severus remains loyal!'

Lucius sat back on the couch, analysing in his mind, 'Severus ... Yes! I can inform Dumbledore.'

'After the failed resurrection, just by getting rid of Severus, there will be no one left to help him resurrect. The fools who were actually loyal to him are still locked up in Azkaban!'

'Yes, if only Severus is eliminated ...'

The thought brought a small, decent smile to Lucius' pale face - he felt invincible.

Standing up, Lucius straightened the collar of his dress.

'Well, time to meet the great Dark Lord!'

'Ha! He looks so pathetic right now ...'

After leaving the manor, Lucius Apparated to an old house.

"Lord, our plan can begin," Lucius said respectfully.

Voldemort attached himself to the body of an unlucky man, who turned around and looked directly at Lucius with scarlet eyes, "Lucius ... look how pathetic I look right now."
