"Why wasn't that appropriate? Oh, right, you already died—uh, sacrificed yourself... Does that mean there's a powerful enemy?"
Having grown somewhat familiar with them, Tony stroked his chin and casually struck up a conversation.
"Anyone capable of killing the White Demon King must be an extraordinarily powerful wizard."
"Since he stands against the White Demon King, then he must be the dark—"
Tony instinctively placed the White Demon King on the same level as the Sorcerer Supreme.
He failed to notice that when he uttered the words "White Demon King," the corners of the eyes of several professors present twitched.
"Ahem." Leon promptly coughed to interrupt Tony's analysis.
The term White Demon King was fine for private teasing, but it could not be thrown around in front of the man himself.
"It's Voldemort, right? He returned and once again swept through the British wizarding world with the Death Eaters." Leon looked at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore selectively ignored Tony's title for him. "That's right. This land is once again shrouded in that man's shadow."
"Even Hogwarts cannot absolutely guarantee everyone's safety."
"So unless necessary, I suggest that you wait until the darkness has passed before coming."
"By then, every wizard at Hogwarts will don their finest robes to welcome you."
Tony found that strange. "So you're confident you can defeat Voldemort?"
The corners of Dumbledore's mouth tightened beneath his beard. This was exactly what he had been waiting to hear.
"Regrettably, no."
"As you can see, if not for Lord Leon's aid tonight, I should have returned to dust here."
"Voldemort's forces are simply too vast."
"His followers cover nearly every pure-blood family. This war will be difficult."
"Now that I have fortunately gained a second life, I only hope to resist with all my strength before I die once more."
