HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 305 Plan Changes

Gloria wanted to know more about where the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix would choose to work together to deal with the Death Eaters.

"The Vanishing Cabinet will not be moved. It will remain in the Room of Requirement."

Dumbledore's words caught her off guard, and she thought of various places, such as the Ministry of Magic, No Man's Land, and even Azkaban.

She asked, "Are you sure?"

"I am quite sure." The headmaster smiled kindly. "This is the plan that Scrimgeour and I discussed and found to be the least likely to alert the Death Eaters."

"There must be another reason." Gloria said firmly, "Not alerting the Death Eaters is just an excuse you gave to Scrimgeour."

Dumbledore's face was expressionless, he just nodded quietly, "Yes, I don't have much time left, I hope to use my death to do one last thing - let Severus kill me."

She looked straight into those blue eyes, "Why?"

Voldemort wanted to take the tiara and wreak havoc at Hogwarts, but he knew he couldn't kill Dumbledore.

"In order to make Severus completely gain Tom's trust." He said: "Although on the surface, Severus is a spy for me, Tom will not really believe it and will always remain suspicious."

Dumbledore continued, "He can only get more information by killing me while I am 'weak'. Don't forget that there are still two Horcruxes that have not been dealt with. If Tom realizes that the Horcruxes have been discovered, the Hufflepuff Gold Cup will definitely be moved. Even if Severus doesn't know where the move is, he should know that the Gold Cup is going to be moved. And someone has to keep an eye on the snake next to Tom."

It has to be said that the principal's consideration is necessary. She has a helper, De Vries, but the other party is not trusted. It is very important how much information Professor Snape can obtain.

"Don't think too much. Everyone has to face death. I just brought it forward a little bit." His tone and expression were very calm. "The current situation is much better than I expected. Now that we know what the Horcruxes are, all that's left is to destroy them one by one. I believe you and the members of the Order of the Phoenix can do it."

Dumbledore's words brought Gloria back to her senses. "You don't have to really die. I can help you remove the curse. But you will be very weak for a long time after the curse is lifted. Because you have a lot of things to arrange this school year, I didn't tell you at the time that I planned to help you at the end of the school year. The summer vacation is just right for you to get through the weakest time."

Hearing this, the principal was very pleased, "Thank you, Gloria, but I still want to carry out the plan."

"No, I don't agree!" Gloria was very firm. "Your death has never been part of my plan."

"You can complete the rest. The movement of the Horcrux is more important."

"I won't agree to it anyway."

"Gloria." Dumbledore stood up. "At least do me a favor."

He picked up the Elder Wand and said, "Become the new owner of this wand. This way, even if Tom gets it one day, he won't be able to unleash the full power of the Elder Wand."

She stood still for a moment, then raised her hand, "Expelliarmus!"

The Elder Wand flew high into his hand.

Gloria put her wand back on the table and said, "Principal Dumbledore, you can't die, because I made an unbreakable vow. If you die, it means I have broken my vow, and the end result will be death."

"It's him."

Dumbledore gave the answer without much hesitation.

"Yes." Gloria said, "So your plan needs to be slightly changed. You have to fake your death instead of actually dying."

·

Within two days, Gloria wrote a letter to Grindelwald, asking for his help in this matter.

Dumbledore hoped that his death would be real enough so that Snape would gain his trust. As for the blame for the siege by the Ministry of Magic, it naturally fell on its original owners, Crabbe and Goyle.

It was unknown how Dumbledore persuaded Professor McGonagall and the others, but Gloria could see the hidden nervousness in the professors.

They were already prepared to send the students to a secret room on that day, where only Gloria knew the password, to prevent any hot-headed students from running out and getting caught in the fight outside.

However, Harry always stared at Snape with hatred in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Professor Snape was probably influenced by the order to kill Dumbledore. He thought that he was really going to kill him. He attended classes regularly these days and did not even cause any trouble for Gryffindor.

Harry just thought he was feeling guilty.

After about a week, the exam was not far away and the students naturally felt nervous.

Harry may have sensed that a storm was coming, so he kept looking around.

"Leah!" Harry couldn't help but look for her after class. "What happened recently?"

He could sense that the tense atmosphere in the school was unusual.

"Nothing." Gloria naturally wouldn't tell him.

"I want to talk to you." Harry grabbed her arm and ran upstairs.

"Potter..." Draco started to stop her, but Gloria looked at him and shook her head.

Harry stopped only when he reached the empty classroom.

"I said, nothing happened." Gloria emphasized again.

"No, I think something is wrong." Harry said, "The Auror guarding here has been here for almost a school year. Two people were replaced this week, and it seems that the two people who replaced them are more powerful."

"Perhaps something happened to the two Aurors who were replaced."

Harry still shook his head. "It must be related to what Crabbe and Goyle did. Didn't they tell Headmaster Dumbledore? Maybe the Ministry of Magic also knows about it."

"Dumbledore will take care of these matters. You should concentrate on preparing for the end-of-year exams." Gloria said, "Or do you feel that the headmaster is no longer trustworthy because of the last argument?"

"I didn't..." Harry's face flashed with an unnatural look, "I just can't understand why he did that."

He knew that Headmaster Dumbledore was not senile at all, but he just couldn't imagine how Snape could be trusted, even though Gloria had said that he might be regretful for some reason.

Because of father?

They were sworn enemies when they were young, but his father saved Snape once. Was it because of that life-saving grace?

Deep down, Harry felt that it wasn't.

I can never convince myself.

"Don't think about these reasons. Professor Snape won't tell you anyway." Gloria said coldly: "The school's affairs are still under control. Headmaster Dumbledore has given me such a guarantee."

Harry might not be convinced, but he chose to lower his head, "I know, sorry to bother you."

"It's not a bother," she said. "Harry, we should be concerned about the Horcruxes now. Dumbledore is waiting for you to calm down so he can give you the last lesson of the school year."

Harry was a little surprised, "The last class? Isn't it the last class?"

"He thought about it and decided to give you another lesson."

Gloria guessed that Dumbledore was going to tell him about all the Horcruxes except his own.

As for whether the hiding place would be told, she would find out later.
