The Admiral of Hogwarts

"This is really too bad." Veneto shook her head and sighed. In any case, the loss of an innocent life is always a terrible thing.

"This should be more than just an attack on Harry, right?" Hugo said suddenly at this moment. "To be able to replace someone's identity and lurk for half a semester, if it was just to attack Harry, they could have disguised themselves as ordinary people and attacked in Hogsmeade."

"You're right, the purpose of this attack is not simply to attack Harry, or even to attack Hogwarts." At this point, the headmaster looked at Hugo and the others seriously.

"Because you are now involved in this matter, some things can be said. Would you believe me if I said that Voldemort has returned, and this kidnapping is to prepare for his return?"

"The Dark Lord is back? That's right, someone who can be a Dark Lord of a generation has such abilities." Hugo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Dumbledore and nodded.

"Hugo, just call him Voldemort, always use the correct name for things. Fear of a name strengthens fear of the thing itself." After hearing Hugo's address to Voldemort, Dumbledore subconsciously said.

"But Professor, there is magic on that person's name that will detect those who call him by name directly. You, as the most powerful white wizard, are naturally not afraid, but not only are we not as powerful as you, but our relatives are Muggles who cannot protect themselves."

"If he really comes back, I don't think either my sister or my friends can bear the consequences of calling that person's name directly."

Hearing the headmaster start preaching, Hugo directly confronted Old Dumbledore on this issue. He always felt that Dumbledore's request in the original book for Harry and the others to call Voldemort by name was坑人.

Especially for people like him and his sister whose families are Muggles, this practice of calling Voldemort by name directly is equivalent to putting their families in mortal danger.

"Sorry, I didn't consider it carefully." Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then admitted his mistake, "I can understand your efforts to protect your family."

"Thank you!" Hearing the headmaster say this, Hugo immediately turned the page and talked about another issue. "If you need me to do anything, please tell me directly, I will fully cooperate with your work."

"Yes, I do have something that requires the cooperation of you and Miss Veneto." Dumbledore said seriously, "In a while, Harry will come here with Professor McGonagall and officials from the Ministry of Magic, and I will tell them everything you said."

"No problem, Headmaster." Hugo and Veneto nodded to Headmaster Dumbledore at the same time, promising that, in any case, as parties involved in the incident, they should go and make a statement.

"Headmaster, do you want to notify the Ministry of Magic that the Dark Lord has returned?" After listening to the conversation between Headmaster Dumbledore and Hugo, Enterprise suddenly interjected.

"Yes, I must notify everyone that Voldemort has returned." Dumbledore looked at Enterprise and said, "In particular, the Ministry of Magic must be vigilant and prepare for the outbreak of war."

"But I think this plan may have some problems, at least I don't think the Ministry of Magic will support your point of view, Headmaster." Knowing the plot, Enterprise tried to persuade the headmaster in this regard.

"At least in my opinion, Minister Fudge does not possess the abilities that a wartime minister should have. In other words, the other party will most likely not adopt your opinion, but will instead gloss over the truth and pretend that the Dark Lord does not exist."

"It can't be like this, right!" Professor Flitwick, who was comforting Hugo and Veneto on the side at this time, turned his head in surprise and looked at Enterprise, "After all, Fudge is the Minister of Magic, he should—"

"You're right, Professor, he is indeed the Minister of Magic." Enterprise nodded, then looked at Dean Flitwick and said, "But based on my observations, he takes his position as Minister of Magic too seriously."

"In other words, the other party may think that the headmaster's statement is alarmist, and the real purpose is to seize his power as Minister of Magic."

"How is this possible?" Professor Flitwick showed a surprised expression. "You need to know that when the headmaster defeated Grindelwald back then, some people thought he should be the British Minister of Magic, but the headmaster declined—"

"Of course I know this, Professor Flitwick." Enterprise smiled bitterly and said, "At least in terms of morality, I never think that the headmaster has any flaws, but I don't think Mr. Fudge thinks so."

"Fudge is generally a relatively mediocre person, and the reason why he can get to where he is today is precisely because this personality can be accepted by all parties. But once a state of war is entered, it is obviously not conducive to organizing forces to participate in the war."

"The bad thing is that Fudge obviously knows this too, so I estimate that in order to keep his position, the other party will most likely choose to deny the outbreak of war."

"Then what if the Dark Lord launches an attack?" Moody said in a rough voice, "I don't think the Dark Lord will not launch various attacks like before after he is resurrected—"

"The Dark Lord will indeed launch attacks, but the intensity should not be too great at the beginning. At least the other party needs enough time to recruit followers and organize the organization." Enterprise raised her voice and said.

"If I remember correctly, Fudge's term is only about two years left. The other party may completely choose to drag the time until the end of his term and hand over the mess to the next Minister of Magic."

"Thank you, Professor Halsey. I will consider what you said." After listening to the discussion of his professors, Headmaster Dumbledore looked at Enterprise and pressed his hands down to end everyone's discussion, then turned to Hugo and the others.

"Okay, I think you must be very tired after experiencing so much today, right? Now you guys go to sleep quickly." After saying that, Dumbledore stood up and sent the three students to the stairwell.

As Hugo and the others walked down the spiral staircase, they could see Dumbledore returning to the table and discussing with the three professors again. Obviously, Dumbledore had listened to what Enterprise said just now, so he planned to discuss it further.

"Hopefully, they can discuss a good result." On the way back to Ravenclaw Tower, Hugo said to his sister and Veneto with some worry.

Although the war in the British wizarding world is something that Hugo and the ship girls are waiting for, they do not want too many innocent people to be killed in this war.

After all, their base is those Muggle-born or half-blood wizards, and these wizards are obviously the weak in the British wizarding world. Once a war breaks out, they will obviously be the most easily injured group of people.

Therefore, controlling the intensity of the war is very meaningful to Hugo and the others. After all, even if the wizarding world loses too much population, even if the war is won, it will not be of great significance.

So if the power of the Ministry of Magic can be mobilized from the beginning, then Voldemort's power development will obviously be suppressed, and naturally there will not be as many losses as before.
