Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 185 Marrying into the Malfoy Family

A cautious benchmark, like a silk scarf rippling in the wind, is ups and downs without definiteness.

If you pay too much attention, you will be labeled as cautious, or even miss the opportunity.

If you don't pay enough attention, you will step into the vortex of frivolity and arrogance, and walk into the narrow gate of fate and get trapped in it.

Voldemort was briefly caught in this dilemma the night he met Snape.

Dumbledore did not return at that time, and he had time to explore the Chamber of Secrets and further merge the souls.

But Snape might turn his back on him, inform Dumbledore, and even actively track him down.

Faced with this situation, Voldemort made a choice after a short thought.

"Voldemort, you are far from recovered to the point where you can be arrogant."

Suppressing the desire in his heart, he said to himself.

When people are in a trough, they tend to overestimate others and underestimate themselves.

Voldemort certainly understands this truth, but what he understands even more is:
And use the worst thoughts to speculate on other people's minds, at least it will not make you fall into the trough and sink into sinking.

Therefore, after confirming that he was not being followed, Voldemort carefully hid all his clothes and bags back in the Room of Requirement, and then returned to the Gryffindor lounge.

He would rather miss this seemingly good opportunity than fall into a passive position with arrogance.

And through the communication with Ginny later, he knew that he was a little too careful.

Snape didn't make any big announcements, and Dumbledore didn't show up in time to search the castle.

Hogwarts was also as calm as before. Snape was not the kind of character who "willing to cut himself to pieces and dare to pull the emperor off his horse".

It is better to overestimate others than to underestimate others, just as paying for past failures... Voldemort comforted himself like this.

In fact, the reason why he made a cautious choice is not only because his life is at a low point:

Entering Hogwarts this time, he was far more thoughtful than the last time he had planned.

For example, after that incident, Dumbledore's energy was dragged out of the school for a long time, because the pure blood headed by Malfoy was working hard.

And this time, Malfoy was more prepared and wiser.

In this matter, he did not become the vanguard, but let the other pure bloods exert their strength, and he himself adjusted in the middle.

His original intention was to use this identity to enter Hogwarts more and interact with Voldemort.

The original plan was not so easy to implement, after all, there were old bees in the middle to block it.

But the death of the student and the sudden emergence of Draco made things easier.

"The pickets need more equipment. Yes, Draco asked me for help. Purebloods should be able to afford that."

He said in a high-profile manner on the board of directors, and took the lead in expressing his position that he would spend money to buy equipment such as looking glasses and secret detectors, which would be distributed to the students.

With Malfoy taking the lead, the wealthy purebloods donated generously—many families among them received a considerable amount of compensation from Gringotts.

Lucius Malfoy entered Hogwarts with a large number of magical items such as looking glasses and mystery finders.

He also deliberately organized manpower to teach children how to use these things.

"Let the professors teach, they can do well." Dumbledore said.

Lucius didn't refuse, he was almost ready to say yes on the spot, but Mr. Bance jumped out and objected.

"Sorry, principal, I have something to say."

He bravely faced Dumbledore, puffed out his chest and said, "These looking glasses, as well as other magical items, are all our latest inventions. Devis-Bance must be responsible for the users of his products, as well as Hogwarts is in charge."

It would have been perfect if Mr. Bance had finished his sentence without looking at Lucius.

But his questioning eyes, and his expression of wanting to be praised, made Lucius secretly scold "idiot" in his heart.

"It seems that we will stay here for a few more days, Principal Dumbledore." Lucius suppressed his endless anger, licking his face and said to Dumbledore.

"Enough is enough, Mr. Malfoy, don't cause trouble." Dumbledore said to Lucius meaningfully, but he didn't refuse him to stay.

With a sigh of relief in his heart, Lucius glared at Mr. Bans, but the latter just felt baffled.

This is all done according to your request... Mr. Bans thought aggrievedly.

Lucius didn't have time to bother with him. He wandered among the students and taught the children how to use these magic items with Mr. Bans and the others.

It has to be said that Lucius, who is full of aristocratic temperament, is still very popular when he puts down his arrogance and gets close to these wizard children.

"Everyone says Draco inherited Mr. Malfoy's looks."

In the diary world, Ginny said happily, "He also invited my two older brothers to join his 'magic item study group'."

"Your twin brothers?" Voldemort asked curiously.

"Yes, it was introduced by Draco. He said that my two older brothers are very talented in this area, so I can take this opportunity to learn more from Mr. Bans."

After Ginny finished speaking, she was afraid that Voldemort would not know who Mr. Bance was, so she took the initiative to explain, "Mr. Bance is the owner of the shop that produces these devices, and his ability to make magic items is amazing."

Voldemort nodded, but did not comment further on this.

Of course he knew who this guy was, and he had bought something in his store.

"Mr. Malfoy also said that I should learn more ballroom dancing, which will make me more temperamental." Ginny raised her head and said proudly, only glanced at Voldemort from time to time.

The little guy has already won the title of the first-year flower of the Lion Academy. Everyone said that if she grows up a bit, she may become the most beautiful one in the Lion Academy.

"You can study it, but I'm not good at it."

Voldemort rubbed her head and said, which made the little girl even more proud, "You all like Mr. Malfoy?"

"of course."

Ginny said without hesitation, "I heard that he is the one who supports the headmaster the most in the board of directors. Some people say that if it wasn't for his support, the headmaster might lose his position."

Voldemort raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Malfoy and his son to do so well.

This news is of course unreliable, Voldemort is [-]% sure that no one can take Dumbledore's headmaster position unless he resigns himself.

"He also criticized Professor Lockhart, saying that he misunderstood his children." Ginny said again, "and warned him that if he doesn't do a good job in class, he will be impeached on the board of directors and let him leave."

"I heard you say that Professor Lockhart has many fans in the college."

"Everyone likes Mr. Malfoy better."

After Ginny finished speaking, she glanced left and right, and whispered as if she was afraid that others would hear, "I heard several senior school girls say that they all love Mr. Malfoy to death, and like his elegant demeanor."

"Isn't Mr. Malfoy married? Otherwise, there wouldn't be the Draco Malfoy you mentioned." Voldemort asked doubtfully.

"Yeah, that's why they all started to fall in love with Draco and wanted to marry into the Malfoy family." Ginny said firmly.

Voldemort forced a polite yet awkward smile.

Appearance is justice. Unexpectedly, witches also abide by this rule.
