My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 422, Section 419: Aftermath

Lynn didn't think much of Bella's final harsh words.

Putting aside the fact that Tom's main soul and Horcrux are now basically in his hands, even if the resurrection stone ring containing Tom's remnant soul were taken away by someone with ulterior motives.

As long as Tom's main soul is not dead, that remnant soul will definitely not cause any trouble.

This wasn't Lynn underestimating Voldemort; on the contrary, it was precisely because he had complete confidence in Voldemort's caution that he believed he wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

If the Horcruxes scattered around could so easily gain freedom of soul and become a brand new Tom while the main soul remains intact, then Voldemort would never have considered using the relaxation of making Horcruxes to achieve immortality in the first place.

Voldemort himself knew his own ambitions best.

The world already has enough trouble with just one of his menaces; he would never create enemies for himself.

Therefore, Lynn was quite at ease about Voldemort's situation, believing that the lost Resurrection Stone ring would eventually be found.

From this day forward, there will be no more Dark Lord or his followers in this world.

Bella had barely finished her harsh words when she was struck by a stun spell cast by several Aurors, and collapsed limply to the ground.

Hundreds of Death Eaters lay paralyzed on the ground, the soil stained reddish-brown with blood, looking like a battlefield strewn with corpses.

After confirming that no Death Eaters had escaped, Lynn did not linger there. Fawkes led him back to Hogwarts Castle in a flash of golden light.

Inside the castle, in the headmaster's office, Dumbledore was certainly not asleep yet. Or rather, he was waiting specifically for Lynn to return.

A golden light suddenly shone on his desk, and Lynn and Fox appeared directly in the principal's office.

Lynn did not deactivate his transformation and made a dazzling appearance as Dumbledore.

Dumbledore looked up and smiled, but when he saw Lynn's current appearance, his expression froze as if he had been frozen in time.

He raised his finger and pointed at Lynn, remaining silent for a long time. Fawkes, however, thought his master was calling him and flapped his wings, flying to Dumbledore's shoulder.

Lynn transformed back into his original form in front of Dumbledore, then casually sat down opposite him as usual, picking up a cookie from the table and popping it into his mouth.

With Dumbledore's intelligence, he only needed a moment to think before he guessed the general idea, and he asked with a dark face.

"You used my identity to deal with those Death Eaters?"

Lynn blinked, looking completely innocent.

"I can't help it, Professor. I'm just a fourth-year student. I can't just go out in public with my own face showing, can I?"

"Then whose identity can you use? Why do you have to use mine?"

Lynn explained with an embarrassed laugh.

"I was just trying to use your reputation to scare them a little, Professor. You don't know how stunned they were when they saw you. They all looked like they wanted to pop their eyes out."

Having spent so much time with Lynn, Dumbledore naturally wouldn't fall for his act and went straight to the crucial question.

"What did you do to them using my identity?"

Lynn said casually.

"It's nothing, I just cast a death curse."

"This is nothing!"

"No one died, no one died, Professor, don't worry, I didn't pin the murder charge on you."

Hearing that no one had died, Dumbledore breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although he didn't care much about his reputation, he couldn't accept it being ruined by Lynn for no reason.

Dumbledore's expression softened slightly, and he continued to ask.

"So how did you handle it?"

"Don't worry, not a single Death Eater escaped tonight. They were all captured by Leon and brought back to Azkaban. They will face the fairest trial, and Sirius will be exonerated."

After listening, Dumbledore shook his head and sighed deeply.

"Isn't luring Malfoy and his men into this trap bit by bit considered entrapment?"

Lynn tapped the table seriously.

"How could you think that way, Professor? Yes, what we're doing is suspected of being entrapment, but as you know, they should have been convicted and imprisoned in Azkaban fourteen years ago. It was their collusion with people in the Ministry of Magic that allowed them to roam free for so many years. The punishment they are receiving now is just making up for what happened fourteen years ago."

Lynn knew what Dumbledore's inner conflict was.

He's a typical example of someone who's been a nice guy for too long and gotten too caught up in the role.

No matter what illegitimate things you do, you always have to give yourself a way out.

Lynn didn't stay in the principal's office for long. The sky outside was already beginning to lighten, so she decided to go back to her dorm and catch up on some sleep.

Outside Hogwarts, news of Lyon joining forces with Dumbledore to wipe out all the Death Eaters was spreading rapidly.

At the Daily Prophet's office, all the reporters were summoned back overnight to work overtime and write articles, ensuring that the news would be spread to every corner of the magical world as soon as possible this morning.

To cooperate with the newspaper's work, Leon even sent an Auror who was present at the scene to explain the details to the reporters, so that they would have sufficient factual basis for their reports.

No journalist dares to write recklessly about this matter.

The truth was, of course, kept from a select few. Following Lynn's instructions, Leon announced that the reason the operation to capture the Death Eaters was so successful was because the Aurors had obtained crucial intelligence about them.

They learned in advance through secret channels of their plan to resurrect the mysterious man.

Then, together with Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore, they set an ambush and wiped out the entire group.

In addition to capturing all the escaped Death Eaters, the operation also yielded some unexpected gains.

Dozens of leaders of well-known pure-blood families in the wizarding world also participated in this plan to resurrect the Dark Lord. Without exception, all of these people were suspected Death Eaters who claimed fourteen years ago that they were controlled by the Imperius Curse and were working for the mysterious man.

This arrest, with the evidence presented, completely confirms their identities. Faced with overwhelming evidence, they will receive the fairest trial from the Ministry of Magic.

Besides this, there was another interesting discovery among the prisoners.

Peter Pettigrew, a hero who died fighting against the Death Eater Sirius Black and was posthumously awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class, has miraculously reappeared in the Death Eater's ranks.

The Aurors are still investigating why this happened, and the results will be announced to the entire wizarding community once the investigation is complete.
