Judging from the current situation, this was the best way for them to break the stalemate and force Lord Voldemort to show himself.
They could not hide endlessly as wanted criminals. After settling the problem in Norway, they would come back to deal with Lord Voldemort and the Evil God. No matter how they looked at it, the British magic circle and the Hogwarts were the main battlefield.
In a way, Harry's arrival at the Ministry of Magic was not something that would not have happened if they had not hoped for it.
Lord Voldemort would definitely try to lure Harry to get the Prophecy Ball, which would make things more passive.
Instead of that, it was better to follow Elwyn's suggestion and take the initiative to make a plan to trick Lord Voldemort.
It was easy. The Prophecy Ball was infinitely tempting to him. He needed to know the complete prophecy.
As long as he thought that Dumbledore was not in England, it would be easy for him to take the bait.
"Do you know, Elwyn? The Prophecy Ball is not the most important thing. I am worried that Lord Voldemort will enter Harry's mind and control and mislead his thoughts. I believe that after our last encounter in Norway, he will definitely have this idea. He has already found out that controlling Harry is so easy. What is more frightening is that I am afraid that he will know the relationship between me and Harry. No matter now or in the past, the relationship between him and me is much closer than the relationship between a principal and a student. If he notices this, he will take this opportunity and use Harry to secretly monitor me. " Dumbledore said softly, "I am worried that he will use Harry and try to control Harry."
"Yes, Professor. What is worse is that he will discover the secret hidden in Harry's body," Elwyn said seriously.
The secret was that Harry was a Soul Vessel. Until now, Lord Voldemort had not realized this.
Like the others, he attributed the connection between him and Harry to the Avada Curse that failed in the past.
Hermione and Elaine did not understand what Elwyn was talking about, but they did not interrupt.
In the firelight, Elwyn looked at Dumbledore's eyes. He was sure that Dumbledore dodged it.
"Yes, this is what I am afraid of." Dumbledore said softly. He did not want to continue talking about the Soul Vessel. "But what I am most worried about is that Lord Voldemort will destroy Harry. Just like last time, he controlled Harry to jump from the highest platform. He is likely to use this method to destroy Harry. In the few times that I met Harry, I think I saw the shadow of Lord Voldemort moving behind his eyes. Once he controls Harry, everything will be disastrous."
"That's why we have to be decisive and stop this kind of thing, Professor!" Elwyn said. "According to my plan, even if we can't kill Lord Voldemort, we can still severely injure him so that he will not dare to enter Harry's head."
"Kill Lord Voldemort?!" Dumbledore fell into deep thought again, as if he did not hear what Elwyn said. He said slowly, "If we want to completely defeat Lord Voldemort, we still have some problems to solve. As far as I know, an old friend of mine knows this information. Yes, you are right, Elwyn. We need to take the initiative. I will talk to Sirius and the Phoenix Society. We will come up with a battle plan as soon as possible. "
The old friend he was talking about must be Horace Slughorn. When Lord Voldemort was young, he got the information about making Soul Vessels from Slughorn.
After mentioning Slughorn, Dumbledore seemed to have made up his mind. He stood up again.
"Well, it's time. You three should go to bed!" he said. "If there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Elwyn looked at Dumbledore, who was sitting beside the fire. At this moment, he looked like an ordinary old man.
For the first time, fatigue appeared on his face. Deep wrinkles danced in the light of the fire. He was no longer the great wizard who had everything under control.
Unless one could conquer death with magic, no matter how powerful a wizard was, there would come a day when they would grow old.
Dumbledore had come to the end of his life. Elwyn had a feeling that this unfortunate day was coming...
"Professor, will you stay here tonight?"
"Oh, no, I have other things to do!" Dumbledore said calmly. "Tonight, the three of you stay in this house. Sirius will probably come back tomorrow morning. During this time, I hope you don't think too much and don't leave this place. "
He waved his hand, and Fox flew up again. With a flash of golden light, Dumbledore disappeared.
"Well, let's go to bed!" Elwyn said, forcing a smile. He did not want Hermione and Elaine to worry.
"Okay!" Hermione nodded.
The three of them groped their way up the stairs in the dark. No one spoke, only the sound of their footsteps echoed in the house.
The old house had never seemed so scary. Darkness and fear had taken over the place.
Elwyn was thinking about the current situation, Hermione was also thinking about the conversation between Elwyn and Dumbledore. Elaine seemed to be thinking about something. She seemed to be interested in the heads of the house-elves hanging on the wall and stared at them for a long time.
"Hermione, don't you have anything to ask me?" Elwyn could not help but ask as he walked to the balcony on the second floor.
"A lot, but I'm not sure if these things need to be kept a secret." In the darkness, Hermione's voice sounded beside Elwyn. She seemed to be trembling. "If it's a secret between you and Dumbledore, I …"
"Hermione, there are no secrets between us!" Elwyn said.
Hearing this, Hermione's face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, it was so dark.
When a girl was extremely worried and afraid about the future, it was also the time when her heart was the weakest.
Although Hermione usually appeared to be very strong, she was no exception. What she needed the most now was Elwyn's embrace.
But there was a technical problem here. Could Elwyn not keep staring at them!
How could Elwyn continue to comfort Hermione's heart when she looked like a curious baby?!
"Come on, Hermione. I'm going to talk to you about these things and the current situation alone. Well, you can come to my room." Elwyn said. Hermione did not say a word, obviously acquiescing. He then turned to Elaine. "By the way, Elaine, are you interested in these things?"
"Not really!" Elaine said. She had never been too concerned about the matters of the Order of the Phoenix.
"Well!" Elwyn knew it would be like this. "Well, if you're tired, you can go back to sleep first. Tonight, it's just the three of us. Hermione and I will be next door. If there's anything, just shout. I'm sure I'll hear you. "
