Hogwarts: I, Tom, am really not Voldemort!

The scene returns to the Headmaster's office.

Dumbledore held the document for the 'Ariana Dumbledore Charitable Foundation' in his hand, caught in a dilemma.

After all, the name Ariana held irreplaceable significance for Dumbledore, and the Ariana Dumbledore Charitable Foundation directly targeted Dumbledore's weakness.

However, the thought that Tom had brought it made Dumbledore's head ache for no reason.

Having been tricked countless times, he always felt there might be some conspiracy within.

Tom noticed his hesitation and pretended to take the document from Dumbledore's hand: "It's alright, Professor, if you're unwilling, I can go to the Hog's Head and find Aberforth Dumbledore instead."

Hearing Tom's words, Dumbledore seemed to make a decision: "Alright, Tom, I agree to be the person in charge."

He, Albus Dumbledore, feared nothing.

Even if there were any conspiracies or tricks, let them come at him.

Watching Dumbledore sign his name on the contract, Tom inexplicably felt happy.

Thus, an unbreakable bond between Dumbledore and the Death Eaters was officially established.

......

Just as Tom was sincerely happy for Dumbledore's choice, in the Ministry of Magic, Fudge was listening to a report from his subordinate.

"What did you say? A large number of Dark Wizards gathered in Knockturn Alley a few days ago? Why didn't you report it sooner?"

Fudge shrieked in a fit of hysteria, as such a thing could affect his position as Minister if not handled properly.

"I'm very sorry, Minister Fudge, it's all our fault for not handling it in a timely manner."

The subordinate apologized while cursing inwardly: 'I wanted to report it at the time, but you said to prioritize Dumbledore's matter and told me to wait.', 'I waited until now, and now you probably remember it, and now you're making me apologize.', 'Damn it, I'll draw a circle and curse you to step down early.'

Seeing the subordinate's sincere apology, Fudge chose to generously forgive him: "Don't let it happen again, alright, now you can tell me in detail what happened."

"Alright, Minister.

At the time, we discovered that the Dark Wizards were gathering, so we immediately sent people over to eavesdrop, but because we were afraid of being discovered, we didn't dare to get too close, we only heard them say intermittently... say..."

Seeing the subordinate stammering, Fudge became anxious: "What exactly did they say?!"

"Heard them mention Death Eaters... attacking the Ministry of Magic... love... social responsibility... development... Dumbledore.... new master..."

The subordinate closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and told Fudge the concise report containing only keywords that the dispatched personnel had given him without changing a word.

As for the turmoil that would be triggered in the magical world later, it was not something a small Ministry of Magic employee like him could control.

"! ! !"

When Fudge heard the subordinate's words, his heart turned cold.

These keywords automatically combined in his mind and became: Dumbledore had become the new master of the Death Eaters, preparing to express his dissatisfaction with him, the Minister of Magic, with so-called love and social responsibility, and even preparing to attack the Ministry of Magic and redevelop the magical world.

Thinking of this, Fudge felt a burst of panic for no reason, and involuntarily raised his voice: "Then what are you still doing here, hurry up and notify the Aurors, it's been a few days, and now Dumbledore has been released, maybe they are already ready and preparing to attack the magical world?"

"But, but..." The subordinate, who had been sprayed with saliva, wiped his face secretly with a look of disgust, and hesitated to speak.

"What else is there, don't stammer, say it all at once."

Fudge was deeply dissatisfied with the subordinate's attitude.

"But, the Dark Wizards haven't shown any intention of attacking the Ministry of Magic in the many days since the gathering ended."

"?"

"What are they doing now?" Fudge asked his question.

"According to the news that came back, these days, they are buying shops and land in Knockturn Alley in large quantities, and they have also rectified the security in Knockturn Alley, and even sent a few notorious criminals on the Ministry of Magic's wanted list over, saying it was to express their goodwill."

Fudge was full of question marks when he heard this, and couldn't figure out what was going on.

And the subordinate was still continuing: "And according to the latest intelligence that the spies sent back today, they have begun to demolish and rebuild Knockturn Alley.

Rectifying security, arresting wanted criminals, you are criminals who are registered with the Ministry of Magic, are you going to steal the Aurors' jobs now?

Where do you want to put our Ministry of Magic?

And carrying out demolition and reconstruction work, is this something you guys can do, aren't you best at shooting green light from your wands "biu, biu...", have you really not thought about whether you have the ability to do construction workers' work?

The Death Eaters becoming like this is definitely not Voldemort's credit, after all, everyone knows that Voldemort is not like this, this posture is more like Dumbledore's handwriting.

Thinking of this, Fudge slammed the table and roared: "Damn it, Dumbledore has indeed become the new master of the Death Eaters!"

As for the reason why Dumbledore is doing this now, Fudge carefully thought about it with his limited imagination and came to a reason that he thought was extremely reliable: using the name of rebuilding Knockturn Alley to secretly raise a team, build weapons, and occupy the Ministry of Magic in one fell swoop when the power is accumulated.

Translated into Eastern language, it is: build high walls, accumulate food, and slowly become king.

Thinking of this, Fudge quickly ordered the subordinate: "Go notify Scrimgeour to arrest Dumbledore, hurry!"

The subordinate did not do so immediately, but cautiously asked: "Minister, Dumbledore has just been released, and now we are going to arrest him again, what crime should we use this time?"

"Moreover, we don't have any substantial evidence at hand now.

If we rashly arrest him, I guess the public won't agree, after all, this is Dumbledore."

After listening to the subordinate's persuasion, Fudge slumped back in his chair.

Sure enough, compared to Voldemort, Dumbledore as the new leader of the Death Eaters was obviously more troublesome.

After a moment, Fudge spoke to the subordinate again:

"Then, let Umbridge go to Hogwarts to investigate first, and see if she can find any handle on Dumbledore."
