Chapter 361 Happy Mood
As soon as Narcissa and Draco left, Dumbledore took Jane on a crazy shopping trip to Diagon Alley.
He first waved his hand and asked Madam Malkin to pack up all the dresses and robes of various styles here; then he went straight to Tuofan Clothing Store and went on a shopping spree again; when passing by the joke shop, he also bought two Peruvian imported stealth smoke bombs.
Jian Yu didn't understand why her guardian suddenly developed a shopping addiction again.
She thought there wasn’t any Double Eleven discount here?
In short, when she returned to number 12, Grimmauld Place, Kreacher had to clear out another bedroom for her to store her full of wizard robes, dresses, jewelry, and various school supplies and magic props.
Little did they know that Dumbledore’s mood had already improved from Double Eleven!
As early as when Percy told him that the Malfoy family's mistress and son's whereabouts in Diagon Alley were unusual, he had guessed their plan and was particularly cautious.
For this purpose, he brought Jian Yu, who had many dealings with this family, to Diagon Alley.
Just to have a chat with this lady.
As expected, professional matters should be done by professionals!
Jian Yu first used coercion and inducement to break the other party's psychological defenses. Then she pressed on step by step, using Draco as a bargaining chip and using hints until the other party was completely pressured to collapse and revealed the assassination plan in detail!
Now, he has figured out the current attitude and details of the Malfoy family:
'Giving away the family property' probably refers to the fact that Malfoy Manor was requisitioned as a gathering place for Death Eaters and its property was also devoured; 'the creditors were keeping an eye on the whereabouts every day' refers to the fact that the whole family of three was under surveillance; and Draco was sent to carry out the "almost impossible" task of killing him.
Therefore, the couple was very dissatisfied with Voldemort's leadership and only wanted to free their son from suffering.
What amazed him even more was Jian Yu’s brilliant response: let them live in the customized version of Azkaban!
This can be said to be the ultimate use of this family's role: first, without the key authentication of this family, no one can enter Gringotts, which can reduce a large part of the financial support provided to the Death Eaters; second, it reduces the elite combat forces of the couple; third, it can obtain first-hand operational intelligence; fourth, it sells the other party a favor for saving Draco's life...
For the other party, this is also a rare opportunity: first, they can stay in prison away from the battlefield, and the lives of the three of them are not in danger; second, after they are released from prison, no matter who is in power, they have the possibility of making a comeback...
Dumbledore believed that with the wisdom of the Malfoy family, they would definitely choose the smooth road leading to Azkaban.
But now, he decided to shift the topic back to the analysis of the "back-to-school gift".
"It looks like something not so clean is going to enter our campus." He said in a relaxed tone, "The safest place is the most dangerous."
He stood up from the armchair in the bedroom, reinforced the door and windows several times, and said:
"Having Harry at Hogwarts is like having a piece of fat meat guarded out of reach of wolves."
"If Voldemort wants to kill him personally, he must first kill the people he thinks can guard this piece of fat meat - you and me."
"Draco Malfoy, is the one he chose."
Jian Yu felt that a question mark was almost materializing above his head.
"Is old Voldemort mentally sound?"
She asked the question that was lingering in her mind very directly. The Dark Lord's plan was really incomprehensible to her.
Ask Draco, an underage student, to assassinate Dumbledore and her?
Not to mention Draco's personal shortcomings in combat power -
Her business partners, the Malfoys who loved their son dearly, heard about this absurd plan to make their son a dead man.
Wouldn't you be so angry that you secretly put laxatives in Voldemort's food or sprinkled itching powder on his bandages?
She thought that this man's brain might have been damaged by slicing.
She looked at Dumbledore, but found that his eyes were also full of helplessness. He was probably being laughed at stupidly, and he was trying hard to press the corners of his mouth down.
Apparently, he was also shocked by this mysterious plan that hurt the enemy zero but hurt himself eight hundred times.
"The best plan is not to let Voldemort make any plans for you..." Dumbledore muttered, and then said seriously, "Perhaps it was because I let Severus spread some news of my physical weakness... ahem... that made him so reckless..."
He pressed the corners of his mouth hard, trying to suppress the slightest smile.
"Well, splitting the soul will indeed cause serious emotional and intellectual damage." He answered Jian Yu's doubts.
Jian Yu felt that he understood what he meant by this euphemism.
This is how people with broken brains make plans.
"So you see, with his mindset, he can't understand what love is, and he doesn't understand the extent to which a mother can do for her child." Dumbledore continued, "He thought that cruel punishment of Draco could make the family completely obey him, but he didn't understand that this would push people away completely."
Jian Yu thought of Draco and Narcissa's hearty performance about "back-to-school gifts" in the store -
She tasted the strange meaning in it:
"So the back-to-school gift they're talking about is the assassination gift pack they're giving us?"
Dumbledore nodded, stood up, took out an invisibility smoke bomb from his arms and threw it into the room.
In an instant, the room was dark and filled with smoke, and nothing could be seen.
Jian Yu could only hear his voice ringing:
"Lumos...flames...see, these spells are useless. They can't penetrate the smoke."
"It is to block a person's vision, including using his own... so he must have something to help him see the road clearly."
Dumbledore chanted a spell, the smoke dissipated instantly, and the room became bright again.
"Be a thief and a robber, cut off your hand -" He whispered Draco's words, "There is a black magic ritual that can see clearly in any dark environment and open the door lock - cut off the hand of a thief and robber who has committed many crimes, pickle it with the blood of the hanged person, insert a candle made of human fat, and then light it."
"As for the opal necklace - strangling someone in their sleep with a cursed necklace was a common method of assassination in the Middle Ages."
Dumbledore analyzed Draco's words one by one, but he didn't understand what the "dirty closet" was.
"I should send Mundungus to Borgin and Burke. He knows a lot about these things."
Then he told Jian Yu:
"He may not be the only student to take on this task. You should find out which other Slytherin students are the children of Death Eaters. You should always wear the anti-curse cloak to be on guard against their hidden actions."
Jian Yu nodded. With the fully automatic danger alarm silently activated, she was not worried about these students causing harm.
Compared to this, she was more worried about whether the secrets of the project at hand would be stolen.
"Don't worry too much for now." Dumbledore replied, "The Ministry of Magic will send permanent Aurors, and entering the laboratory requires wand authentication and passing through many checkpoints."
It sounded like the protective measures were in place, and Jian Yu felt relieved.
As she spoke here, there was a sudden knock on Jian Yu's bedroom door.
This made Dumbledore's face darken!
He remembered that he had clearly welded the "No Trespassing" sign tightly, right?
He wanted to see who was the brave man this time.
