“For example, that Dark Lord, he could completely take advantage of the holiday to capture the students one by one, then go to the Ministry of Magic’s entrance and use their lives to threaten Dumbledore in front of everyone.”
“If one doesn’t work, then ten, fifty, a hundred… Based on what I know of Dumbledore, he would most likely face death calmly.”
Kael’s mouth twitched slightly.
Not to mention, really, if Voldemort were to do this, he also thinks Dumbledore would willingly face death to save others.
Moreover, this isn’t all that difficult, there are many students at Hogwarts, even discounting those from Pure-Blood Families, there are still hundreds left, and they might not all escape Voldemort’s attacks.
In a sense, Oren seems more like a Dark Lord than Voldemort.
“Too bad that idiot is obsessed with Harry Potter, that’s why he can only sulk in his lair.”
“You can’t say it like that.”
Kael shook his head, “Such methods might allow him to kill Dumbledore, but they would also anger all wizards… No one wants a madman to live, what if, unsatisfied with taking the United Kingdom, he extends his hand to other countries?”
“Then this matter wouldn’t just be limited to the United Kingdom, the entire Magic Realm wouldn’t let him get away with it, including you, who came up with this idea.”
“If that were the case, it would be great.”
Oren stared at Kael, suddenly changing his expression, “Haha, don’t take it seriously, just speaking casually, I’m merely an insignificant servant of the Dark Lord, how could he listen to my suggestions.”
“That can’t be said for sure.” Kael raised his wand, “To be safe, you’d better not go back.”
“That won’t do, I can’t die yet.” As Oren spoke, he suddenly vanished, reappearing by a tree not far away.
Using Apparition during a battle?
Kael frowned.
This is trouble, unless Dumbledore is here, otherwise, if Oren is determined to escape, he may not be able to catch up.
“Rest assured, as I’ve said, the proud and arrogant Dark Lord wouldn’t heed the advice of a mere servant.” Oren said, leaning against a tree.
“From your words, you don’t seem to respect You-Know-Who like other Death Eaters.”
“That’s none of your business.” Oren said leisurely,
Because he could escape at any time, even with a Nundu watching him intently, he wasn’t overly nervous.
“Then say something relevant.” Kael asked, “You mentioned earlier, six years ago in the Forbidden Forest, you didn’t intend to kill me?”
“Yes.” Oren nodded, “Your father saved me, I have to save you to repay that.”
“Save me?” Kael was very puzzled. “Are you joking? I didn’t feel I was in danger at that time.”
“Not being in danger then doesn’t mean you’ll never be.” Oren said.
“What do you mean?” Kael pondered for a moment, a bit confused, “What exactly do you want to do?”
“It’s simple.” Oren smiled, “I wanted to use an overly strong Forgetfulness Spell to disrupt your brain, making you ordinary.”
Kael immediately thought of Neville, who seemed to have poor memory due to a Forgetfulness Spell.
Kael was speechless.
Is this saving him? Ridiculous.
But he could see that Oren’s tone was sincere, not joking at all.
“But now it seems, I might have been redundant.” Oren shook his head, “Forget it, here’s a piece of advice for you: stay away from Dumbledore, even if everyone sees him as a good person.”
“Why?”
“Because of my father.” Oren said, “He too admired Dumbledore, not only believing he could change the Magic Realm but also joining the Order of Phoenix, and the result?”
“He killed a werewolf during a mission, and in revenge, the werewolf broke into my home one rainy night, and then, he died.”
“I was toyed with by the werewolf for an entire day until I met your father in a remote place, during which Dumbledore never appeared.”
Oren’s voice was very calm, as if he were speaking about someone unrelated.
“Dumbledore isn’t God, he can’t watch over everyone.” Kael said.
“That’s exactly my point, being too close to Dumbledore always entails getting caught up in various troubles, he can’t watch over everyone, the safest thing is to stay away from him.”
“To keep me away from Dumbledore… is that your reason for targeting me?”
“Only part of it, the main reason is another matter.”
“What?”
“Back then I learned that the Dark Lord might be returning.”
Oren raised his head, “At that time, I thought, such a brilliant you would likely get involved in the second war after his resurrection… perhaps only by becoming ordinary could you safely navigate this crisis.”
