Chapter 247: Voldemort's Goal

The next day.

John woke up early and went to the Great Hall with his friends for breakfast.

Today was the last day before the holiday, and after it was over, they could go home.

He had made an appointment with Hermione to go to the library today.

However, he was still eating when Hermione hurried in from outside, looking for John the first moment she saw him.

Then she hurried to John's side.

"John, something happened."

John was eating and didn't notice Hermione's arrival, so she suddenly leaned to his side and said nervously.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Hermione's appearance, John and the others were all stunned.

"Voldemort has made a move, Mr. Weasley was attacked last night."

Hermione lowered her voice and said to the few of them.

"I don't know the specific details either, Professor McGonagall told me after I met her this morning."

"Harry and Ron and the other Weasley children were all sent to the Order of the Phoenix last night."

Hearing Hermione's words, everyone was very surprised.

Didn't expect it to be so sudden.

The day before, they were still enjoying school life with laughter.

Today they were pulled to the eve of a cruel war.

Voldemort made a move; although he only attacked one person, this also represented that Voldemort had no patience, or rather, had decided to truly declare war.

Yesterday Mr. Weasley was attacked, who will it be today? Who will it be tomorrow?

These questions instantly made Titus and the others' hearts sink.

Ryan remembered his mother's instructions, but he didn't take them to heart.

Titus thought of his parents who were also working for the Order of the Phoenix, worrying that they would also be attacked one day.

Ethan worried that their little home would be destroyed because of Voldemort.

John was more concerned about the ins and outs of the matter.

Voldemort making a move at this time must have a reason.

He put down his breakfast and stood up slowly.

"I want to go to the Headmaster to ask about the specific details."

"Okay John, the Headmaster must be busy with this matter now, will we disturb him if we go now?"

Titus, on the side, asked worriedly.

"Think too much."

"The Headmaster might worry about Mr. Weasley's safety, but he will never become flustered just because Mr. Weasley was attacked."

"As an old monster who has lived for a hundred years, honored as the greatest wizard of the 20th century, what kind of big waves hasn't he seen?"

"I guess he even has the mood to eat breakfast."

John waved his hand and said dismissively.

Hermione also felt it made sense after listening.

She initially worried that asking too much would affect the Headmaster's judgment.

Calling the Headmaster an old monster, would it be too impolite...

"Then I'll go too."

Hermione stood up and said.

John didn't refuse this, just let Titus and the others do whatever they wanted, and naturally would share it with them when he asked it out.

Soon, the two arrived outside the Headmaster's office.

The door of the Headmaster's office was open.

They could hear Dumbledore talking to someone.

"Okay, I know."

The two poked their heads in from outside the door, only to see Dumbledore standing in front of a portrait, as if he had just finished saying something, and turned his head to look at the two outside the door.

"You two, come in."

Dumbledore knew their purpose, didn't have too much small talk, and sat back behind the desk.

On his desk was also a silver incense burner that John was familiar with, the thing that detected his soul.

Don't know what the Headmaster took it out for.

"You are here to ask about Arthur, he is no longer in life-threatening danger, you don't have to worry."

They had just sat down when Dumbledore said slowly.

They looked at each other, although they were relieved, their main question was not this.

"Actually, what I care more about is how Voldemort attacked Mr. Weasley."

Both were smart people, John didn't use polite formulas, and asked straight to the point.

"It wasn't Voldemort who attacked Arthur, it was the snake beside him."

"That snake sneaked into the Ministry of Magic and attacked Arthur who was on duty in the Department of Mysteries."

For John, he didn't hide anything and said slowly.

"Doesn't Mr. Weasley manage the misuse of Muggle artifacts? Why did he go to the Department of Mysteries to be on duty?"

Just hearing this answer, John asked curiously.

"Remember when one of us was caught because of intending to break into the Department of Mysteries before."

"I know what Voldemort wants, so I sent people to be on duty in the Department of Mysteries."

Hearing this, Hermione couldn't help asking "What does Voldemort want?"

"Just a prophecy that drives him to do evil..."

When Dumbledore said this, he didn't seem to care much about what Voldemort wanted.

"Is that prophecy important?" John asked.

"Not important."

"But at least Voldemort thinks it's important, that's enough."

Dumbledore still spoke lightly, but John couldn't listen anymore and couldn't help complaining.

"No, Headmaster, can you stop being like a riddle-maker, just say it clearly."

Dumbledore: "......"

He had finally brewed it, looking very deep, as if this matter was very serious, and John just popped it away.

He just hoped John could take Voldemort's matter seriously, so he deliberately spoke mysteriously.

Judging from the result, he did take it seriously.

But he seemed to have made him anxious.

Seeing this, he had to shake his head helplessly and smile.

"Okay okay, don't be nervous, things are not as serious as you think."

"Remember before the summer vacation, when you came to the Order of the Phoenix, John, you went to destroy a Death Eater gathering with Alastor."

"Then found out from their brains the intelligence of what they wanted to sneak into the Ministry of Magic to steal."

Dumbledore saw John was anxious, so he had to explain the ins and outs clearly.

"At that time, I probably guessed what they wanted to find, it was a prophecy orb about him, so I arranged for people to be on duty to protect it."

"I knew that prophecy more than ten years ago, so it's not important to us."

"But Voldemort only knows half of it, so he really wants to hear the other half."

"So I arranged for people to go there to obstruct Voldemort."

"As the saying goes, the more the enemy wants, the more we can't let him get it."

"Of course, obstruction is not because that glass ball is important, it's just to disrupt his rhythm, and can also waste his energy and delay his development."

These were the reasons why Mr. Weasley appeared in the Department of Mysteries and was attacked by Voldemort's snake.

It was just to obstruct Voldemort from finding a glass ball that was useless to them.

John naturally wouldn't say that Mr. Weasley was attacked for nothing.

After all, this was indeed a tactic.

And from the moment they joined the Order of the Phoenix and worked for the Order of the Phoenix, they had long been prepared to fall suddenly.

Before it was Sturgis Podmore controlled by the Imperius Curse, now it was Mr. Weasley attacked.

They were just unlucky guys who happened to hit Voldemort's gun when performing tasks.

He believed they also resolutely chose to execute after understanding the danger of this task. ===== CHAPTER 248 =====
