"When I die," Albus said, returning to the couch. "Tom won't start a full scale attack while I'm alive. However that doesn't really tells much. We can't worry about the when, but we need to concentrate on what to do if it happens."
He sighed. "We do have history to guide us. We know what he's likely to do. We must decide what's the best course of action next. Hogwarts will be his priority after the Ministry. That means that he will pressure the board. Severus, you will have to contact the Malfoys. With Lucius and Narcissa dead, Astoria on the board, they will be targets. The longer he needs to find her or replace her, the better chance to protect school."
