As well, it was an act of mercy, as Dumbledore was already dying, from the curse he received because of the Ring. The curse and the potion did it.
Nobody forced Dumbledore to put on the Ring neither to drink the potion. The Battle of the Astronomy Tower and the death of Albus Dumbledore had a major impact on the wizarding world. The only wizard Lord Voldemort had ever feared and who had the power to oppose him was finally dead. Teachers were unsure if the school would remain open, so some parents dropped their children out of Hogwarts. Unfortunately, this one was a little bit sad topic to write about we believe to read as well.
The Headmaster of Hogwarts knew that he had to leave because of his visions of the future wizarding world and the curse we have already mentioned. He also knew that hard times were coming for Hogwarts but that there were people who would fight for, until their last breath. Table of Contents show. Why did Snape kill Dumbledore? Why did Dumbledore let Snape kill him? Why was Dumbledore already dying? Why did Dumbledore trust Snape so much?
What did Dumbledore say to Snape before he died? How did Snape feel about killing Dumbledore? Harry and Voldemort soon duelled, and they experienced Priori Incantatem. This happened because they shared the same wand core — a phoenix feather from the same bird.
They gave him time to get Cedric's body and return back to Hogwarts. He alerted the wizarding world of Voldemort's return, but the Ministry of Magic did not believe him. This dichotomy was rectified when the Battle at the Department of Mysteries took place in mid-summer between 6 members of Dumbledore's Army and Voldemort's Death Eaters to retrieve a Prophecy which concerned both Harry and Voldemort.
Soon, after the Prophecy was smashed, Voldemort himself came to the Ministry of Magic. He was rapidly confronted by Dumbledore , a situation which culminated in a duel between the two great wizards. Voldemort fled the Ministry after briefly possessing Harry, but not before being seen by Fudge and some of the Aurors, compelling them to finally accept that Lord Voldemort had indeed returned.
Having been seen by the authorities at last, Voldemort officially started the Second Wizarding War. He was furious beyond measure with Lucius Malfoy for the failure of the mission to retrieve the prophecy, and Malfoy allowing himself to be captured in the process with 10 other Death Eaters , reducing Voldemort's ranks once again. So, during the summer between his fifth and sixth year s at Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy was tasked with the assassination of Albus Dumbledore to restore his family to Voldemort's good graces.
Also at this time, Draco was branded with the Dark Mark. This killed two birds with one stone for Voldemort. First, he would have another agent acting at Hogwarts. Second, Voldemort could punish the Malfoys for their failures, such as their disloyalty and failing to retrieve the prophecy from the Department of Mysteries. However, it was noted that if Draco succeeds, his family would be forgiven and be honoured beyond. Wanting to keep Draco safe, Narcissa sought out Severus Snape for help, while defying Voldemort's order of keeping this mission an utmost secrecy; fortunately for her, Snape was one of the few who knew of the plan.
Narcissa first attempted to persuade Snape to persuade Voldemort to change his mind, which was declared an impossibility due to Voldemort's anger over Lucius's failures, so she challenged him to make an Unbreakable Vow, with her following sister Bellatrix as the bonder , to which he complied.
She asked him to swear to the following: [6]. In preparation for such a difficult task, Draco was trained in various fields of by his Aunt Bellatrix, such as Occlumency , Nonverbal spells , and the Unforgivable Curses , turning the already talented Draco into a very powerful wizard.
She also noted that Draco was excited at having such an important task placed on his shoulders, while Narcissa noted that it was because he was too young and naive to know the deeper dangers that lie within. At the same time, Snape, his true loyalty to Dumbledore, informed the headmaster of this plot, and both knew that it was no more than an excuse to see Draco fail and kill him in punishment for Lucius' failure.
To prevent Draco's soul from being ripped apart from success or be executed for failure, he had Snape watch over the boy and help, and intended for Snape to commit the murder instead.
All this proved to be compatible with the Vow he made with Narcissa, allowing him to succeed on both sides. Late in the summer, Draco visited Diagon Alley with his mother. Harry noticed that Draco flinched when Madam Malkin brushed his left arm.
Afterwards, Draco gave his mother the slip and headed for Borgin and Burkes. He proceeded to bully Borgin into helping him repair an unknown object and to keep the "other one" safe.
He told Borgin that Fenrir Greyback would be checking in on his progress. This exchange was witnessed by Harry, Ron, and Hermione who had sneaked away from their escorts under Harry's Cloak of Invisibility. From the information thus gathered, Harry surmised that Draco Malfoy was now a Death Eater and was up to something, a fact debated, and eventually dismissed, by his friends.
She was thwarted when she got into an argument with her friend Leanne. As Leanne tried to grab the package from Katie, it fell to the ground and opened. Katie accidentally touched the cursed necklace through a tiny hole in her glove and was dragged into the air, gracefully holding her arms aloft as in a cross.
She then screamed terribly and fell to the ground. She was rushed off to the school by Hagrid. When questioned about the incident, Harry, Ron, and Hermione who had witnessed what had happened, Harry accused Draco Malfoy of cursing Katie, much to the chagrin of his friends, and dismissed by Professor McGonagall due to lack of evidence. Katie was sent to St Mungo's where she remained for months.
Ronald Weasley is poisoned after drinking mead meant for Dumbledore. In the second attempt an Imperiused Rosmerta gave Horace Slughorn a bottle of mead to deliver to Dumbledore. Unbeknownst to Slughorn, who forgot to give it to the expected recipient and surmised by Hermione Granger that he would keep something tasty for himself, it was poisoned.
The attempt was thwarted when Slughorn unfortunately gave the mead to Ron Weasley on his seventeenth birthday , on 1 March , Harry Potter knew to shove a bezoar down his throat as an antidote and saved his life. Both of these attempts stemmed from Draco's increasing anxiety, as he feared that his main plot of repairing the broken Vanishing Cabinet to allow him to smuggle Death Eaters into the castle to assist his mission would fail, and therefore resorted to such crude and poorly calculated attempts.
Dumbledore had deduced that Draco was responsible for both, but did not expose and apprehend him in fear that Draco would be executed by Voldemort, and due to both attempts did not actually kill the unintended victims, which prevented Draco from being implicated by the law.
Dumbledore did not confront Draco head-on due to fearing Voldemort would use Legilimency to discover Dumbledore's discovery of this assassination mission. Snape after offering Draco Malfoy assistance with his mission on Dumbledore's orders. Over the year, the stress of this mission's success was taking a toll on Draco's psyche and physical health, as he began to neglect his schoolwork, reject his prefect duties that he once would happily abuse, lost interest in Quidditch , spent less time mocking Harry and his friends despite the opportunities, and began to lose weight and his skin greying.
All of this frustrated Harry, who could not figure out Draco's plan despite his best efforts. Draco had also rejected Snape's offered assistance, believing the professor had plans to usurp the glory. Albus Dumbledore was under the assumption that Voldemort had made Horcruxes.
Due to this assumption, he asked Horace Slughorn to return to Hogwarts to teach Potions , believing that he held an important memory regarding Voldemort and his Horcruxes. He had already found a ring that was a Horcrux, but it held the Resurrection Stone in it. Forgetting that it was a Horcrux, he put it on his finger, hoping to see his parents and little sister again. Thanks to his own and Severus Snape's skills, Snape was able to hold off the curse from spreading, but it only gave him a year to live.
