Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 470, Section 465: I Will Arrive Late with the Aurors

In just a few seconds, Dali prepared the antidote and poured it into the mouths of the mice that had been turned into humans.

"Senior Tom really likes using snake venom, doesn't he?"

Yes, the main ingredient in those poisons was potent snake venom, which Voldemort likely concocted using the venom of a certain venomous snake.

To be honest, the poison is quite potent. Even if Dumbledore were poisoned by it, it would make him extremely weak, though it might not kill him.

However, it was precisely because it was snake venom that Dudley was able to recover. If Voldemort had used chemical poisons, Dudley wouldn't have had any good options; he could only think of septic tank pumping.

Before long, the mice recovered from the poisoning. Apart from looking a little dazed, this was a sequela of the poisoning and they would return to normal soon.

After turning the mouse back to its original state, Dali put it back in his pocket for use in the next experiment.

"Now we can go back."

"Dumbledore said."

"Before that, let's deal with what's at the bottom of the lake."

Dali pointed to the lake not far away.

"The undead fear fire, which can cause irreversible damage to their bodies. But now that they are at the bottom of the icy lake, ordinary fire will have little effect on them."

Dumbledore said, "Unless we use Fiendfire, but if we do use Fiendfire, the entire canyon will be affected."

"There's no need to trouble the professor."

Dali pulled several large plastic buckets out of his pocket, lifted the lids, and a slightly pungent smell wafted out.

"Gasoline gas?"

Dumbledore knew relatively little about the world of ordinary people, but that doesn't mean he knew nothing.

"Could it be?"

By this time, Dali had already kicked several plastic buckets into the lake, and a layer of oily substance immediately covered the surface.

As the heavy object fell into the water, it stirred up layers of turbulence on the lake's surface, instantly turning the once calm waters into a boiling frenzy, and countless desiccated creatures sprang out of the lake.

A group of undead corpses, they've been awakened!

They were left here by Voldemort and will attack any living creature.

Dali ignored him and pulled out a lighter. With a flash of sparks, the lighter was lit.

With a gentle toss, the lighter ignites and falls into the horizontal plane.

With a loud thud, a raging fire illuminated the entire cave, and the flames suddenly engulfed the group of Yin Corpses.

They didn't even have time to burrow back to the bottom of the lake, or rather, they would still be burned even if they did. Roars and the sound of burning flames filled the entire cave, along with an unimaginable stench of burning.

This lake is stagnant, meaning that if there's enough gasoline, the entire lake could be boiled.

These corpses will be completely liberated.

Dudley looked around at the writhing corpses and couldn't recognize which one was Regulus Black; at least to him, they all looked the same.

To Regulus, may you rest in peace.

"We will avenge you."

"Professor, we should leave now."

Dumbledore had no idea what Dudley was thinking; he simply nodded quietly.

The surrounding air distorted, and the two people disappeared from their original positions.

Before leaving, Dudley threw out a small wisp of Fiery Flame, which could help the fire burn without causing widespread damage.

The pitch-black flames burned all the corpses to ashes.

Not long after the two left, with a loud bang, the entire cave collapsed, and countless rubble buried the cave. This secret base that originally belonged to Tom Riddle disappeared forever, becoming a thing of the past.

When the two reappeared, they were at the Ministry of Magic, in Fudge's office.

Grindelwald was sitting in the Minister of Magic's seat at that moment.

"Your student Tom finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

Grindelwald didn't even lift an eyelid, showing no surprise at their arrival. With his abilities, he could have detected them the moment they used Apparition.

"Tonight."

"Dali said."

Grindelwald suggested, "Need any help? This is a perfect opportunity to ambush."

"You need to pretend to be late, as Professor Dumbledore will be taking his final bow tonight."

"Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?"

Grindelwald didn't quite understand the point of doing this.

"Absolutely necessary, Professor."

"Tom's escape skills are world-class. Ambushing him might only result in catching some Death Eaters, since they'll all be left behind tonight anyway."

Among all the top wizards, if Voldemort's fear of death was second, no one would dare claim to be first.

Even before he graduated, he was already thinking about how to achieve immortality and how to avoid death.

He even created his first Horcrux when he was in sixth grade.

The most crucial point is Harry. If the problem of the soul fragment in Harry's head isn't resolved, Voldemort will be immortal. No matter how many times you kill him, he can start over, and he might even accidentally take over Harry's body.

If the original story hadn't been shrouded in the protagonist's halo, and if he hadn't been so overconfident that all seven Horcruxes were destroyed, Harry and his friends would never have been able to kill him.

The key lies in the soul fragment in Harry's head. Even Dudley dares not act rashly, as this involves the field of human transmutation, and one wrong move could easily transmute Harry away.

Unless Harry is sacrificed

But Dali disagreed.

Harry is his brother, his family, and he would never let his family suffer.

"Indeed, surviving a Killing Curse makes him a unique Horcrux throughout history, ha."

Grindelwald gave a cold laugh.

Although Horcruxes are life-saving artifacts, not every wizard values ​​them. Some wizards would rather die than split their souls.

For example, Slytherin, whom many consider evil, never created Horcruxes.

Another example is the universally acknowledged dark wizard, Grindelwald.

"Gellert"

"I understand, I understand, I will arrive 'late' with the Aurors."

Grindelwald suddenly asked, "Since Albus will 'end' at that time, are you sure he won't go berserk and kill everyone? Theoretically, no one can stop him, and no one can stop him."

In the sixth book of the original series, the Death Eaters invaded Hogwarts, and Dumbledore was killed by Snape's Killing Curse. With the only person he feared dead, it was Voldemort's best chance to unify the entire wizarding world.

He could have easily killed Harry and left, but instead, he chose to retreat with the Death Eaters.

It's simply unbelievable.

Dali wouldn't pin his hopes on his brain malfunction.

"If he doesn't leave, then he should stay forever."

Dudley gave a cold smile. He had personally designed Hogwarts' defense system.
