Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 278 Comeback Plan
"You shouldn't have promised him, Dark Lord."

After parting from Crocker, Old Nott immediately said, "I heard that those silent people are crazy."

Voldemort smiled at him, but said nothing.

In fact, Voldemort himself was curious about the Department of Mysteries.

Even if the other party doesn't invite him, they will definitely come to see him when he comes back in the future.

"I'm going back."

Crouch had no intention of participating in Voldemort's affairs, and he was going to leave directly.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Crouch."

Voldemort called him and called Percy over, "This is Percy Weasley, my student, a top student at Hogwarts."

"I've heard about him." Crouch glanced at Percy and then at Voldemort, "What's the matter?"

"I hope you can help him arrange a job in the Ministry of Magic, preferably with a clear attitude, so that he will be your help in getting to that position." Voldemort said with a smile.

Crouch looked at the excited Percy suspiciously, he didn't think this kid could help him.

"Be my secretary first..."

"No," interrupted Voldemort, "I think he needs a definite job."

Crouch looked at Voldemort, frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "You already have an idea, don't you?"

"Yes, Mr. Crouch."

Voldemort laughed, "How about the Department of Magical Sports and Sports, the headquarters of the British and Irish Quidditch Union? I think Percy's strengths can be used there."

"Quidditch Command?"

There was a bit of surprise in Crouch's voice, he glanced at Abramovich and the others not far away, pulled Voldemort and Percy aside and said, "Do you want to do something in next year's Quidditch? "

His voice was small, but it sounded excited.

"Of course, I have a perfect plan for this." Voldemort said with a smile and nodded.

"What plan?" Crouch asked.

"If there are no accidents, that will be the stage for my homecoming speech."

Crouch and Percy's eyes widened in surprise at Voldemort's words.

"Are you ready?" Crouch asked in surprise.

"You should not ask me this question, Crouch, but I should ask you." Voldemort said with a smile.

Crouch frowned, he understood what Voldemort meant.

But the news came too suddenly, he needed to think about it.

"Teacher, are you really going to tell the world at that time..." Percy asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Of course, there is no better occasion than that, Percy, but before that, I need to complete all the resurrection rituals first, so it is only tentative." Voldemort said, rubbing his head.

"In other words, you might not announce it at that time, right?" Crouch asked, raising his head.

Voldemort nodded. He knew that this would add trouble to Crouch, but he was not sure that he would be able to be resurrected this year. There were still many things to be resolved.

Most importantly, due to his greed, at present, the decision-making power in this matter is no longer with him.

"According to our previous plan, I will show a more proactive attitude than Fudge before you are resurrected, but if you are not sure, my timing is not easy, you know..."

"I know."

Voldemort interrupted, thinking Crouch was too nervous.

"Actually, you can look at it from another angle. Even if I didn't come back on time, you offended Fudge because of your aggressive attitude and were expelled from the Ministry of Magic. That's not a big deal."

Crouch looked at Voldemort suspiciously, beckoning him to continue.

"Dumbledore has already started to spread the news of my return. At present, it's just that the officials don't recognize it and suppress it."

Voldemort thought about it and said, "At this time, if you jump out and sing against Fudge, you will indeed be suppressed by him, and even lose your only position because of it."

"But this is a good thing, because the more determined you are at this time, the more people will trust you in the future, and the more support you will receive."

Crouch frowned thoughtfully, nodded slowly, but then looked at Voldemort and said, "If Dumbledore is involved, I mean, if he wants to run as well?"

"He will not participate in the election." Voldemort said firmly, "Because I need him as a foil for my comeback."

"What do you mean?" Crouch asked puzzled.

"I need to beat him, Crouch." Voldemort spread his hands.

Both Crouch and Percy's eyes widened in surprise, and they looked at Voldemort in disbelief.

Voldemort shrugged, not paying attention to their stares, but went on: "If I don't do that, people will still fear me, but they will not respect me."

"I need to regain my dignity and use that headmaster as a stepping stone."

He spoke loudly, but the two people in front of him have not recovered from their sluggishness for a long time.

"Are you sure you can?" Crouch asked after a long time.

Voldemort was not angry at the other party's questioning, he just nodded calmly.

"Then I will act immediately. No matter how Fudge treats me, I will stand firmly against him and you." Crouch said through gritted teeth.

Voldemort nodded, giving Crouch a "That's right" look.

"You asked me to arrange for Percy to enter the Quidditch Headquarters so that he could take advantage of your comeback ceremony, didn't you?" Crouch asked Voldemort after glancing at Percy.

"of course."

Voldemort looked at Percy with a smile, rubbed his head and said, "There is nothing like when everyone is panicked by the Dark Lord's comeback. He needs to appease the wizards and stand up to fight me."

"Use your comeback ceremony to pave the way for your disciples?"

Crouch looked at Percy again, his eyes were quite complicated, and there was even a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Not for him, Crouch, but for the future of the Ministry."

Voldemort restrained his smile, and his eyes became deep, "Percy is a person like you who is strict with himself and acts cautiously. People like him and you cannot be reused. It is the loss of the Ministry of Magic. We are just doing it for the wizarding world." Stop losses in time."

Everyone loves to hear good words, not to mention the ones that the Dark Lord said so solemnly.

Crouch suppressed the excitement in his heart, he nodded and said: "Don't worry, Dark Lord, I will definitely arrange a good position for Percy, and he will be the one with the best performance in your comeback ceremony."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Crouch, but he is still too young, so he can just make some political capital. You should do the most shining one, because you can go directly to that position." Voldemort looked at Crouch with a smile Rouch said.

Crouch nodded, but then he became serious and looked at Voldemort: "After that, although I will cooperate with you to do what I promised you, but if you harm the wizarding world..."

"I don't have that plan, Crouch, you can rest assured about that."

Voldemort interrupted the other party's words seriously, and after a short pause, he spoke again, "But I will bring about changes in the wizarding world, that's for sure. If you want to stop me at that time, I can only say..."

"Let the magic decide everything."

Crouch took a deep look at Voldemort, nodded and said nothing.
