The Order Reborn

Under McGonagall's astonished gaze, Dumbledore revealed a rare vulnerable side.

At this moment, his eyes no longer gleamed, his white beard no longer Winky, and he no longer radiated the energetic and powerful aura he once possessed. He pursed his lips tightly to prevent his long, beautiful beard from trembling.

His left index finger tapped the table almost unconsciously, making a tapping sound.

As Dumbledore's most trusted right-hand woman for over thirty years, seeing Dumbledore's Dumbledore, McGonagall suddenly realized the meaning behind his question. She said incredulously, "Albus... you don't actually think... that Malfoy boy..." She took a deep breath before managing to finish, "He's not our enemy, is he? No way?"

Dumbledore nodded at first, then suddenly shook his head. "No, that boy is not our enemy... never... In fact, he is an ally (tool) that can be won over (used)..."

Dumbledore was speaking the truth from the bottom of his heart.

Since the Wizarding World is already corrupt, a final revolution is inevitable, and Skylar cannot stop it. With that kid's shrewdness and insight, he couldn't possibly be unaware of this, so—

More likely, he wants to be a leader in this change!

Of course, he trusted his own judgment more. Skylar's personality and talent destined him to never be subservient to anyone, so he could never join the Death Eaters. In fact, he had an irreconcilable hatred for other underground black wizarding organizations such as the Shadow of the Magic Dragon and the Knights of Walpurgis.

Fifty years ago, when he decided to embark on his destiny-bound battle, he had already clearly defined his path—his enemies had always been only darkness and evil!

He disagreed with the so-called bloodline discrimination, class injustice, and other political ills of the Wizarding World, but fearing to touch power, he did not intend to get involved.

In that case, unless Skylar studies evil Dark Arts and becomes the next Dark Lord, he won't become his enemy—perhaps Skylar and he aren't on the same path, but the chances of them being enemies are slim; a greater possibility is that they'll become rivals in a power struggle.

A duel between two players, with the wizarding world as the board and countless wizards as the pieces!

Skylar now undoubtedly has the upper hand and has seized the initiative.

Fudge's attitude didn't surprise him too much, but it still changed the whole situation. Grindelwald's escape was what truly caught him off guard.

With Skylar's instigation, he not only had to deal with two formidable enemies, Voldemort and Grindelwald, but the Ministry of Magic also seemed to regard him as an enemy. It must be said that the Ministry of Magic's interference was indeed quite troublesome, but... humph, experience counts, and Dumbledore was confident that with his years of life experience and his long-standing strategic planning throughout the Wizarding World, he still had a tremendous chance of turning the tables!

Even with all these unexpected events, one thing still happened last night, and it was the most important thing of all—that foolish Voldemort finally put Harry's blood into his own body, just as he had predicted.

In this way, the Horcrux ritual is complete—15 years ago, on that night, Harry unintentionally became Voldemort's Horcrux, and now Voldemort has become Harry's Horcrux.

Trelawney's Prophecy has finally entered its final stage, with the two Prophecy sons destined to fight a final battle, and everything is unfolding according to his long-planned strategy.

Not only that, according to Harry's description last night, when Voldemort resurrected and met the Death Eaters, he actually let slip his biggest secret—

Voldemort, oh Voldemort, hmph, "I have gone further than anyone else on the road to immortality..." What is the true meaning of those words? Perhaps you, arrogant as you are, do not believe that those worthless Death Eaters can understand your true meaning. But you didn't expect that Harry would successfully escape from your clutches and expose your secret.

In 1992, when Dumbledore saw Riddle's Diary, he had already confirmed that Voldemort had achieved so-called "immortality" by creating Horcrux. But now he was certain that Voldemort had created more than one Horcrux, which is why he said that he had gone further than anyone else on the road to "immortality"—because he was the first person to create more than one Horcrux!

Right after the awards ceremony last night, he didn't dare to waste a moment and immediately mobilized all his intelligence networks— Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, Hog's Head Inn, Mundungus Fletcher, portraits of past headmasters, and so on—determined to find all the places where Voldemort might be hiding Horcrux!

Voldemort's entire life, from the moment of his birth to his becoming the Dark Lord, must be thoroughly investigated, even if it means digging three feet into the ground.

Dumbledore knew Voldemort's weakness—aside from a few extremists, most of the Death Eaters were unreliable opportunists. As long as Voldemort was killed according to the "Harry training plan" he had painstakingly laid out over the years, those Death Eaters were not a threat at all.

Grindelwald is in a more troublesome position, after all, he is a prophet with the ability to Prophecy. Although he successfully thwarted Grindelwald's plot using "Countersight" in the past, one can only do it once, not three times. Grindelwald is definitely on guard this time.

Fortunately, Grindelwald has lost his wand, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, his years of imprisonment have undoubtedly depleted a significant portion of his magical core—an irreversible damage. Therefore, his current strength is at best equivalent to that of an elite Auror, and one without a wand at that.

As for the Ministry of Magic, it's troublesome, but not enough to cause real harm.

When Voldemort and Grindelwald make their grand entrances, the Ministry of Magic will only become a laughing stock.

In summary, the chessboard has been divided into five factions: the evil Death Eaters, the foolish Ministry of Magic, the declining Supreme Wizard Alliance, the lurking Malfoy, and their own Order of the Phoenix.

That's interesting...

(Note: "Wizard Purity Party" sounds too offensive, so the author has translated it here Supreme Wizard Alliance," implying the Wizard Supremacy.)

Just last night, immediately after the awards ceremony, he summoned the Order of the Phoenix and assigned tasks to each member.

Sirius Black is based at the Order of the Order of the Phoenix, "12 Grimmauld Place," and communicates and coordinates with all members through the privately established Floo Network (which bypasses the Ministry of Magic's oversight).

Hagrid and Madame Maxime immediately set off for the Ural Mountains in western Russia, determined to find the Giant Tribe before Voldemort could, and even if they couldn't cooperate with them, they wouldn't allow the Giant to fall into the evil camp.

Snape's mission is of utmost importance; he will return to Voldemort's side and become a double agent.

The newly joined Bill Weasley will represent the Order of the Phoenix in contacting the Goblin, even if he can't get them to join, he at least wants to understand Goblin thoughts and stance.

Bill's brother Charlie Weasley, remained in Romania, recruiting young wizards from abroad for the Order of the Order of the Phoenix.

Lupin and Fletcher entered Knockturn Alley, making contact with the Werewolf and wizards in the black market to investigate the situation and gather intelligence.

Before Moody recovers, Emmeline Vance Vance, the second strongest member of the Order of the Order of the Phoenix, is assigned to patrol near Downing Street in London to ensure that Death Eaters cannot infiltrate the Muggle government. (Downing Street is the street where the Britain's residence is located.)

Mr. Weasley's task was to contact those within the Ministry of Magic who could be persuaded by the Order of the Order of the Phoenix to understand the situation, so that more people would be prepared for the truth and become more vigilant, and even join the Order of the Phoenix to stand on the front line against Voldemort.

Unfortunately, for Mr. Weasley at this moment, this task was quite difficult.

Ever since Percy's scheme backfired, the Weasley have become infamous within the Ministry of Magic. Many Ministry of Magic employees have long since avoided them like the plague, and trying to persuade them to join the Order of the Phoenix is simply a pipe dream.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore gave another wry smile. If this really was Skylar's arrangement, then the move was truly ruthless.

After a fierce internal struggle, Dumbledore made his decision.

To McGonagall's astonishment, he opened the drawer, took out a golden object, and slammed it onto the table.

The Countersight "Countersight" in the original God II script refers to the knowledge of deciphering prophets in magic. This poor translation is the fault of the People's Publishing House (in the Chinese version of God II), and the author refuses to take responsibility.
