Voldemort hid himself inside Anton Dolohov's soul as much as possible, just as he had once possessed Quirinus Quirrell.
He was extremely practiced at this soul technique. When he had hidden inside Gilderoy Lockhart's soul, even that Soul Fragment of Tom Riddle's had failed to notice anything wrong.
Voldemort had that confidence. As long as he avoided prolonged contact with Dumbledore, Dumbledore would not notice anything unusual.
Just like now. All he needed was to wait until Vizet let his guard down...
But Vizet stopped walking, raised his Wand, and traced a strange gesture, as if casting a spell.
Seeing this, Voldemort's brows twisted together. Vizet's casting gesture was very unusual. In his memory, there was nothing about this spellcasting gesture at all.
For such a special situation to appear meant Vizet was using an entirely new magic.
After today's successive battles, Voldemort now had a clearer understanding of just how treacherous Vizet and Dumbledore were.
Voldemort's instinct sensed something was wrong, and just as he was about to strike first, weakness surged over him like a tide, as if it meant to swallow his consciousness whole.
His vision gradually blurred, everything around him twisting into shattered fragments of light and shadow.
Those lights and shadows overlapped, their colors impossibly chaotic, giving him a dizzying sense that the whole world was tumbling while he stood at its center, making it almost impossible to find his balance.
Voldemort was not the only one who felt this. The Azkaban prisoners, tormented by Dementors, had already collapsed to the ground, letting out groans of agony one after another.
The Aurors felt only a brief moment of weakness before Dumbledore raised his Wand and cast the "Silent Wound Spell," shielding them from the effects of the "Pain Howl Resonance Spell."
