Hogwarts: What bad intentions could a little badger have?

"How many Galleons did this whole set of equipment cost?" Dumbledore asked.

Although Black did not mention it, Dumbledore had to mention it.

Because these mirror monitoring systems are most likely based on the same principle as two-way mirrors.

And two-way mirrors are notoriously expensive...

As the headmaster, he couldn't let Black pay for this kind of thing!

"Oh, that's not necessary." Black waved his hand.

These materials were all opened from treasure chests over the years, and he really didn't spend a penny.

Moreover, as Black's fame grows, he can get a lot of low-level treasure chests every day.

He saved all these low-level treasure chests, because after testing, the probability of materials appearing in these low-level treasure chests is the highest.

If all these low-level treasure chests are used for synthesis, it will be difficult if there is a shortage of alchemical materials in the future.

For the sake of caution, some strategic reserves must be left.

After all, many materials that are extremely rare in this world can be easily found in treasure chests.

"No, you have to give me a number. I can't let you bear these expenses by yourself." Dumbledore still insisted.

How can I let a child pay for things?

Even if Black is not short of money, Dumbledore still has to save face!

"Uh..." Black just used the materials directly, so how could he think about how much they are worth? "How about... after we are done, we can calculate these?"

"Okay, don't forget it." Dumbledore looked at the surveillance mirror on the wall again.

"Well, professor, you won't blame me for using these things, after all... this does damage everyone's privacy..."

"Five-zero-three"

"No, Black, this is very important to Hogwarts. With these things, at least, I don't have to worry about bad guys coming to make trouble every school year..." Dumbledore said helplessly.

In fact, if it was the previous Dumbledore, he would definitely think that doing this is not a good thing, but now...

Almost every school year, there is a big thing, and then he is worried...

If there was this monitoring room a few years ago, why would he need to worry so much?

Besides, for the benefit of everyone, what's the big deal about sacrificing a little bit of personal privacy?

"I will find a new place to build a monitoring room later. Of course, I will not use the monitoring room at will... unless something happens." Dumbledore said.

"Hmm... I will also upgrade the functions of these surveillance cameras in the future. I think if they can all have the playback function like those telescopes that cost ten gold galleons each at the World Cup..."

Dumbledore's eyes suddenly lit up, "In this way, if something happens, we can also restore the scene at that time by viewing the playback of the surveillance camera!"

"That's right! That's right!" Black nodded.

It seems that the Muggle world now has this kind of surveillance that can record videos.

So, it's the same if we apply it directly to the wizard world.

Black already had an idea at this time. There were many house elves in his intelligence organization.

In addition to being scattered as ears and eyes, there were many idle ones working and training in the factories in the subspace.

If he quietly set up this kind of surveillance mirrors everywhere in the wizarding world... Can we replicate a complete Sky Eye system?

We just need to let those idle house-elves observe.

By then, Black's intelligence system will be truly all-pervasive.

Otherwise, as it is now, at most Black can only know the information of places where house-elves exist.

Dumbledore sighed, "Black, with this set of alchemical products... Hogwarts can truly be regarded as the safest place in the wizarding world. "

Five minutes later, after Black taught Dumbledore how to use these surveillance mirrors, they left the Room of Requirement together.

Dumbledore will move the equipment inside later.

And now, they have an urgent thing to do.

Their first task now is to find out what happened to Snape.

Go to Spinner's End to scout and see if Voldemort and his men are still hiding in Snape's house.

Maybe they can get some clues about what happened to Snape there...

"We have to find out what happened before Friday, otherwise..." Black said as he walked.

"Well, Friday is Harry's Potions class..." Dumbledore said, "I will keep an eye on Severus, at the critical moment... I will find a way to put your medicine in..."

"Professor, are you sure?" Black asked with some concern.

"Haha, of course I have a way. "Dumbledore said with a smile.

...

Snape's father is a Muggle, so his home is actually located in a Muggle neighborhood.

And this Muggle neighborhood is called Spinner's End, a dirty neighborhood.

If there were no creepy black magic items beside the street.

This place is no different from Knockturn Alley.

Of course, this place may also be called Knockturn Alley in the Muggle world...

When Dumbledore and Black appeared here, they both wore black cloaks specially designed by Black.

This black cloak can greatly reduce their presence. People can't see their faces under the cloak clearly.

Muggles will not be aware of their existence, and even if they pass by them, they will not notice them.

As for wizards... In such a place, it is normal for a few dark wizards to appear..

After all, no one would associate the two guys in black cloaks in front of them with the headmaster and the new professor of Hogwarts.

Dumbledore tightened his black cloak in some confusion.

In fact, he had been upright all his life, but this was the first time he had hidden his identity in such a way...

However, considering that this reconnaissance must not be exposed, Dumbledore had to do this.

"There is no breath of those creatures around." Black said softly.

"Yeah." Dumbledore also found it. He did not find any magical fluctuations similar to Dracula on this street.

Originally, they thought that this alley had been filled with vampire spies.

Dumbledore knew the location of Snape's house, so he took the lead and led the way.

However, they were soon disappointed. Snape's house was empty!

"No wonder there's no one watching here." Black said, "So, they all left."

"Well... This is consistent with Tom's cautious character. After all, once Severus fails, this place will be the first thing we think of..." Dumbledore said softly.

"Let's go in and take a look?"

"Okay."

After carefully checking the surroundings and finding that there was no one around... or no other wizards.

They broke into Snape's house.

After searching for a while, Black suddenly said, "Maybe they haven't been away for long... The teapot is still hot."

Dumbledore frowned, "It seems that we are indeed a step late..."

"Where do you think Tom will go if he leaves here?" Black asked.

A gleam of wisdom flashed in Dumbledore's blue eyes. "He must want to be resurrected at any time now, so... he will choose a place where he can be resurrected in time. For example... Old Tom's ancestral home, Old Tom's bones are also in that place."

"Professor... In fact, Old Tom's bones have disappeared... I just came to see them not long ago." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Is that so..." Dumbledore pondered for a while, and then said: "Anyway, let's go and take a look... If they are not in Old Tom's ancestral home, I think he might go back to the Gaunt family's ancestral home. After all, based on my understanding of Tom, he must go back to see if his Horcrux is still there."

"Then I think he must be very surprised..." Black smiled.

...

"No! Impossible!" Voldemort's hoarse voice rang out in the Gaunt old house. "How could something be missing?"

After Bella temporarily lifted several curses according to his method, she did not find the Gaunt ring that should have been inside! []

Bella and Little Barty looked at the crazy Voldemort with some confusion.

Because they were notKnow what Voldemort lost! He was so angry...

Of course, only Voldemort himself knew what he lost!

He lost his life! A life in the true sense!

Combined with the gold cup that Bella lost before, that's two lives!

Of course his Horcrux couldn't be lost for no reason! Someone must have taken it away!

Who took his Horcrux?

Could it be Dumbledore? Did he discover my secret?

Or... was it Grindelwald who knew my secret after seeing my gold cup?

A long-lost sense of fear surged into Voldemort's heart again, the fear of death...

Just as Voldemort was guessing,

Bella suddenly said: "Master, there are words here!"

"Let me see!" Voldemort said angrily. He had a hunch that the words must have been left by the shameful thief!

"Master..." Bella hesitated..

"I said, let me see!" Voldemort ordered.

Bella had to hug Voldemort so that he could see the scene in the cabinet where the ring was originally stored.

On the door of the cabinet, a line of familiar characters was written in a flamboyant style.

"Surprised? Unexpected? I took the things away. Guess who I am? - B.G"

"Ah..." If this body was not too weak and had no blood, Voldemort would have been so angry that he would vomit blood.

B.G? And this familiar character!

Who else except that bastard Black Green? !

"Black Green! Traitor! Shameful traitor! I will kill you!"

Little Barty and Bella looked at each other. Black Green again?

How could that boy make his always confident and proud master so angry?

...

At this time, Black, who was still rushing to Old Tom's ancestral home, suddenly stopped.

Because he heard a special system broadcast in his mind.

"Ding! An extremely angry emotion is detected!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning a silver treasure chest!"

There should be no one else who can be extremely angry with him at this time except Voldemort.

Of course, Black knew what he had done in the old Gaunt ancestral home, so it was normal for Voldemort to be "extremely angry".

But... just a silver treasure chest? No way, no way... that's it? The Dark Lord is just like this?

Although he knew that Voldemort might not drop a good treasure chest in his current state, Black still had some hope for it because of his identity as the Dark Lord.

At the very least, there must be a golden treasure chest, right?

Result...

Silver treasure chest? That's it?

"Professor, I think I know where Tom and the others are." Black smiled and said, "Some of the secret alchemical alarms I set up in the old Gaunt house have been triggered.. "

Black couldn't say that he knew it through the system, so he had to use the alchemical props as an excuse again.

However, considering that Black had just built an amazing monitoring system, Dumbledore didn't doubt it.

"So, my guess was right! Let's go and have a look around the old Gaunt house... If they are really there, I have to find a way to prepare in advance..." Dumbledore murmured.

Finding Voldemort's location and then making preparations around it is the last means of defense.

Dumbledore still hopes to solve Snape's problem in Hogwarts, and then directly eliminate Voldemort who has not been resurrected.

Otherwise... do we have to rush in and kill Voldemort and the others?

Dumbledore shook his head. He would never make this choice unless it was absolutely necessary.

God knows if they will kill Snape first before they are killed...

Thinking about it this way, It is safer to tamper with Voldemort's resurrection materials!

Dumbledore still believes in Black's potion skills.

By then, even if a low-health Voldemort is resurrected, it will not be a big deal.

A moment later, the two of them appeared in the woods two hundred meters away from the Gaunt mansion under the Disillusionment Curse.

Black took out two telescopes from his pocket, and after using magic to make them transparent, he handed them to Dumbledore next to him.

Soon, they used the telescope to find Bella who was setting up a concealment spell at the door of the Gaunt mansion.

Since Bella is here, there is no doubt that Voldemort is in the house.

"I'll find someone to keep an eye on this place." Black said.

"Who are you looking for? This mission is too important. Once it is exposed, it will alert the enemy..." Dumbledore was a little embarrassed.

It is not good not to keep an eye on this place, but if you want to find someone to keep an eye on it, you are afraid of being discovered. After all, there are those mysterious creatures around Voldemort...

"It's okay. I will find someone who has a reasonable reason to wander around to do this. For example... a house elf who has just been freed."

"You mean... the elf named Dobby in the Malfoy family?"

"Well, that's right. Dobby is a house elf. Tom and his friends have always turned a blind eye to this race. They don't take this kind of creature seriously and probably won't pay much attention to it... Even if Dobby is discovered, it won't alert the enemy. He is an elf who has lost his job. No matter where he appears, it is reasonable, isn't it?"

"Then... will Dobby agree? "Dumbledore asked.

Black grinned and said, "Yes, as long as he is paid...".
