Chapter 232 Cyrus and Dumbledore's Plan



Harry really couldn't understand it.

What does the fact that he took the resurrection stone given to him by Cyrus to see his dead mother have to do with Snape? And he obviously also saw his father, but Snape didn't even mention it, as if James didn't exist. Of course, it wasn't the first day that Harry knew that Snape and his father didn't get along.

Sometimes when he was with Sirius during holidays, Sirius would pick out some of Snape's embarrassing moments to make fun of him. Almost all of Snape's embarrassing moments were caused by the foursome headed by James.

Harry felt particularly happy when he listened, because Sirius could not be so fair when telling stories. Those stories sounded like an evil villain getting the punishment he deserved when they fell into Harry's ears.

To this day, Sirius regretted not having killed Snape more quickly in the Shrieking Shack.

"The Resurrection Stone that Cyrus gave you?" Snape grabbed Harry's collar, his empty pupils seemed to want to throw Harry into the bottomless abyss.

He was very annoyed now. Such a good thing, but Cyrus gave it to Harry Potter?

This kid is arrogant and conceited, only causes trouble, and doesn't even know how to use the resurrection stone!

"You should bring Lily Evans - your mother - back to life right now!"

"Right now! Right here, right before my eyes!"

Snape threw Harry heavily to the ground. He was gasping for breath and seemed to be mentally unstable.

Harry felt great fear in his heart when he saw Snape's appearance at this moment. He had never seen Snape lose his composure like this before. Even when Hermione burned his robes in the first year, he didn't make him so angry and crazy.

Besides, why did he have to revive his own mother? Harry had an absurd and frightening idea in his mind. He thought of the second child in the fairy tale who fell into madness and pain after resurrecting his lover - exactly the same as Snape at the moment.

If this guess is true, then Harry thinks he probably understands why Snape always has conflicts with his father.

"The Resurrection Stone can't really resurrect a person." Harry tried to explain to Snape, "It can only summon something that is more real than a soul, but more unreal than a real person. Besides..."

He gave Snape a strange look and cautiously probed: "Why do you care so much about my mother? Besides, her name is Lily Potter."

Her name is Lily Potter.

Snape could hear Harry's voice echoing in his mind, making him even more annoyed and angry.

Lily Potter?

You don't need to remind me! "Her real name is Lily Evans. I know your mother better than you do!" Snape said angrily.

Then she is my mother too.

Harry wanted to say this, but at this time Snape had already frozen him in place without giving him any chance to refuse, and then reached into Harry's pocket and took out the Resurrection Stone.

"Wait, you can't do that!" Harry panicked.

He was afraid that Snape would really try to resurrect his mother. If he succeeded, then the resurrected Lily would only sink in pain forever.

"Why can't I?" Snape pinched the sharp edges of the Resurrection Stone with two fingers, his eyes revealing desire, "If the Resurrection Stone can't really resurrect the dead, why did Cyrus give it to you?"

"Maybe it's because he needs me to die willingly?"

"What?"

Snape was stunned, he didn't even realize that the Resurrection Stone fell from his fingertips to the ground.

At this moment he looked at Harry with an incredulous and angry look, his voice low.

"You said...he wants you to die?"

"What's wrong? Are you so happy?" Harry looked at Snape strangely, who was not moving. He thought Snape would be very happy when he knew that his rival's child was about to die.

But the result seems not to be the case.

Snape looked very angry at the moment, and Harry rarely felt that this anger was not directed at him.

"He asked you to die?"

"He said he was your friend, he said he cared about you more than Dumbledore, but he let you die?!" Snape suddenly felt that he had been deceived.

After meeting Cyrus in Godric's Hollow, he returned to Hogwarts to question Dumbledore and learned that Dumbledore had similar plans. These two people raised this child like a pig to be slaughtered! Harry was very surprised by Snape's reaction, but he still explained for Cyrus.

"He never said so, but I am Voldemort's Horcrux. This is destined. Only when I die can Voldemort be destroyed."

Harry didn't know why he said this to Snape. He didn't tell anyone about it, including his best friend and closest Sirius. When facing them, Harry couldn't say it, but when talking to Snape, he could easily say it.

Maybe he thought Snape wouldn't worry about him as much as the others?

But Snape's reaction was not what Harry expected.

"I want to find him and ask him clearly!" He almost ran out.

But Harry stopped him.

"Wait," Harry stood in front of the door, his hands open, blocking Snape's way.

"This is my own decision, no one forced me." Those green eyes looked directly at Snape, making the dark Snape suffer. "You just need to do as he says and teach me how to close the brain." - Cyrus actually realized this moment when he temporarily gave the Resurrection Stone to Harry for safekeeping.

Harry was not very talented in the art of Occlumency, so it was normal that Snape could see through all the memories in his brain.

However, he did not expect that Harry could handle the relationship with Snape by himself. Cyrus thought that Snape would come to him angrily to question him, but in fact he did not.

At this moment, in the Burrow.

Dumbledore sat at the table in the messy living room, with the Weasleys sitting on either side. Besides them, there were also Sirius, Lupin, and Alastor Moody...

"I hope everyone understands why I gathered you all here." Dumbledore has now lost the power of time and turned back into the white-haired old man.

But I have to say, maybe he looks more reassuring this way.

Dumbledore seemed a little too cold and sharp when he was young.

"Dumbledore, you mean to say that the mysterious man is really resurrected, right?" Mr. Weasley said this while glancing at Cyrus who was sitting at the other end of the table.

Not long ago, Dumbledore also said that Cyrus was Voldemort, but of course, it was later proved that the two were actually not the same.

But this time, it's probably not a mistake.

The magic eye on his cheek was replaced by another one at some point. It seemed that it was not as magical as the previous one, but it was still spinning around, looking creepy.

"They are slandering you, Albus!" Alastor said angrily.

Not only Dumbledore, but Fudge is also using the Daily Prophet to secretly discredit Cyrus. Anyone who wants to mention the mysterious man will be declared a conspirator.

Fudge had successfully deceived himself. Unless he saw Voldemort with his own eyes, he would probably never believe it.

But Dumbledore sighed and said, "I'm afraid the situation will be even worse."

Ever since Voldemort showed up in the Department of Mysteries, he has begun to contact all parties, hoping that after another wizarding war breaks out, the British wizarding community will not be isolated and helpless like last time.

But it was precisely because of this that Dumbledore discovered something was wrong.

He realized that the French Ministry of Magic might have been completely controlled by the Death Eaters. Now Voldemort had the power of an entire country - or even more - who knew how many dark wizards in the British wizarding world would join him once he officially announced his arrival?

"But we have you and Cyrus." Sirius spread his hands. He was more optimistic than anyone else. "This is no longer the era where the You-Know-Who can do whatever he wants. Didn't Cyrus beat him and make him flee?"

"No one can guarantee victory all the time, Sirius," Dumbledore shook his head.

To this, Cyrus indeed nodded in agreement.

It was not so easy for him to defeat Voldemort this time. In addition to his own plan, it was also because the Elder Wand suddenly turned against him. Otherwise, the outcome would be hard to say.

If Voldemort changes his wand again, he may be able to make a comeback.

As long as he gains the upper hand, he may be able to regain control of the Elder Wand.

Not to mention, their enemy might not be just Voldemort.

"What did Grindelwald say?" Cyrus asked. He wanted to know if Dumbledore had dealt with Grindelwald.

To be honest, even if Old G had attacked Cyrus, Cyrus would not have had any emotion. If they really had to fight, he would not be afraid at all, but it would not be right for you to help Voldemort.

Speaking of Grindelwald, Dumbledore was also distressed.

"I will find a way to deal with him." Dumbledore said seriously, "It would be best if Voldemort could be defeated again, so that the Death Eaters in the French wizarding world will scatter."

Cyrus laughed.

He already had a plan, but he just didn't want to tell others.

So far, only Dumbledore knew of Cyrus's plan.

The relationship between them was a bit complicated. Dumbledore personally sent Cyrus to Azkaban, but in the final analysis, Cyrus thought that Dumbledore was a trustworthy person.

And this plan can be said to coincide with Dumbledore's.

"No matter what, I need you to act immediately and slowly turn the situation in France around, just in case." Dumbledore said, "At the same time, I also need you to contact the tribes of the subhuman races, especially the giants, who are a very powerful fighting force."

Almost all sub-human races are the targets that Dumbledore wants to win over, including giants, centaurs, goblins...

However, Cyrus was not very optimistic about Dumbledore's idea.

The Ministry of Magic has been very harsh on subhumans for so many years, and it may not be feasible to ask them for help now when they are needed. What's more, Voldemort is better at making empty promises.

But if the plan goes well, this move will never be used.

"Hagrid, I'll leave the giant to you. Kingsley, you stay in the Auror team and make sure we understand the position of the Ministry of Magic. We need to know whether the Ministry of Magic is our friend or our enemy." Dumbledore gave the orders one by one, "Molly, I want you to go to France with Arthur. You don't need to do any dangerous work. You just need to make sure whether the Death Eaters have affected the lives of wizards..."

"From today on I will restart the Order of the Phoenix!"

Dumbledore said excitedly.

At the same time, he glanced at Cyrus.

"Fawkes likes you very much. Do you want to join the Order of the Phoenix?"

"No thanks, I have my own team." Cyrus stood up from his chair, "See you at Hogwarts, Dumbledore."

After returning to Hogwarts, Cyrus walked into the empty headmaster's office with ease. Fawkes was circling around him, and the exquisite sword of Gryffindor was placed on the table by Dumbledore, as if it were an ornament.

Cyrus was waiting for Dumbledore to come back, intending to talk to him about the plan and see if he could set a trap for Voldemort.

But at this moment, a portrait on the wall suddenly spoke.

"I've been trying to contact you, Cyrus." Fitzgerald opened his eyes immediately when he saw Cyrus appear.

"What's the matter, Niofor?" Cyrus asked kindly.

"There is a strange thing," Fitzgerald in the portrait thought for a moment and said, "Not long ago, a shadow went to the Pavilion of Knowledge. But the four of us guardians were not there at the time, so we didn't see who it was."

"The Knowledge Pavilion? Are there any other secrets there?"

The legacy left by Morgana that was sealed under the ground of the Pavilion of Knowledge has been taken away by Cyrus. Logically, there should be nothing else there.

Fitzgerald also shook his head.

"Nothing."

"Could it be that Voldemort was unwilling to give up and went to have another look? Or is it the shadow left behind after Voldemort traveled to a different time through the time turner?" Cyrus had these two guesses in his mind.

But no matter what, he decided to go and take a look.

At this moment, green flames suddenly appeared in the fireplace.

Dumbledore came out vigorously and said immediately: "Voldemort is a person who is very afraid of death. Before he makes any move, he will definitely find a way to regain the ownership of the Elder Wand. We must make you powerful enough to fight him!"

In fact, the plan is very simple, weaken the enemy and strengthen yourself! ——Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand and placed it in front of Cyrus.
