Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 294 The Gift of the Black Family
"Principal Black, long time no see."

Voldemort bowed slightly to Phineas Black's portrait.

"Voldemort, ha, Dumbledore is plotting against you, right in his office." Headmaster Black with a goatee said with a smile.

The principal Blake in this portrait is completely different from the sleepy him in the principal's office all day long.

He wore a wizard robe with Slytherin characteristics, looked quite energetic, and spoke with great strength.

"We're plotting against each other, Headmaster, and that's why I'm here." Voldemort said with a smile, and found a seat for himself.

"You're going to make a comeback, aren't you?" Headmaster Black said excitedly. "Kill more Muggles and Mudbloods?"

"Uh...Principal, I don't think we need to start talking about murder." Voldemort smiled wryly.

"Then let's talk about Sirius." Principal Black became excited, "Oh my god, this move of yours is too powerful."

Voldemort was puzzled, but still kept a smile on his face.

Principal Black said excitedly: "I didn't expect him to be your undercover agent in Gryffindor. This not only allows the blood of our Black family to continue, but also allows the spirit of the Black family to be passed on."

"He blew up a whole street of Muggles at once, and escaped from Azkaban in the past two days, with his cousin."

The smile froze on Voldemort's face.

He was tempted to say I didn't, but the timing wasn't right.

"Did he come with you?"

Principal Black said, trying to look towards the stairs in the portrait.

"No, Principal Black, he has more important tasks, so he is not suitable to appear for the time being."

Voldemort said following the words of the other party, "Just like me, I also came here secretly."

"Be careful, Dumbledore has made a lot of layouts, you have to be careful, and Sirius."

Principal Black nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Voldemort, do you want me to help you here?"

"Yes, Headmaster Black," said Voldemort.

"Tell me what you think, Voldemort, but I'm not sure I can do it."

Principal Black said with some frustration, "You know, when we sign the Hogwarts principal's appointment letter, many things must be restricted. This is also the reason why many purebloods do not want to be the principal."

Voldemort nodded in understanding, but in fact he didn't know the details.

Most of the family histories of those pure-blood families have recorded the restrictions that Principal Black said.

Because even if no one in those families has served as the principal, most of them have been invited and have seen that part of the content.

Voldemort had no such opportunity.

Although many pure-blood families have opened their family libraries to him, family history has never been one of them.

"I need to know the headmaster's itinerary, the more detailed the better." Voldemort said his purpose.

Principal Black frowned, obviously this is a very troublesome matter.

"In fact, the contract requires us to help the current principal. Even as a portrait, I am bound by that contract."

"Is there no loophole?" Voldemort asked.

"There are some special circumstances that will be excluded, such as those involving the interests of one's own family, or bloodlines..."

Principal Black stopped. He looked at Voldemort and said, "Maybe I can tell you that Dumbledore's information about Sirius is in my blood after all."

Voldemort nodded, and said, "Thank you very much. I am also afraid that Sirius will reveal his identity—he is currently carrying out a very secret mission."

Voldemort saw nothing wrong with the fact that once a lie had been presented, it had to be continued.

He can deceive a living person, let alone a portrait.

"No problem, if there is any useful news, I will ask Kreacher to inform you." Principal Black said, "Where is he going to find you?"

"Malfoy Manor, Bella and I are there." Voldemort said standing up, ready to leave here.

"Hold on."

Principal Black suddenly stopped him, and Voldemort looked at him suspiciously.

"About Sirius Black, Voldemort, you know he is not young, but the marriage has not yet been settled, can you help me persuade him to get married soon, so as to continue the blood of the Black family?"

When he said this, Principal Black looked a little embarrassed.

Perhaps he also felt that this request was a little too much, but for the sake of the blood of the Black family, he could only say this with a lick of his old face.

"After this task is over, I will convince him immediately."

Voldemort said very solemnly, which was also his sincere words, "I think you will hear good news by next year at the latest."

"Thank you so much, Voldemort, you will be a forever friend of the Black family." Headmaster Black said loudly.

"That is my honor." Voldemort bowed slightly and said politely.

"The Black family must thank you for this, wait a minute, Voldemort."

After Principal Black finished speaking, before Voldemort could say anything—he really had no intention of refusing—the man disappeared from the portrait.

Not long after, he appeared in the portrait again.

"Albuga will give you a gift, Voldemort, this is the friendship of the Black family, please don't refuse it," said Headmaster Black.

"I can only express my gratitude for this, Headmaster Black. I am looking forward to this gift." Voldemort said obediently.

Then he bid farewell, and turned to leave.

"Be careful Snape."

Before Voldemort walked down the stairs, Headmaster Black said suddenly.

"Is he throwing himself at Dumbledore?" Voldemort asked after stopping.

"No, Voldemort, I can't tell you about Dumbledore."

Principal Black said seriously, "But I think he has been a little abnormal recently, since he once talked about that child with Dumbledore."

"unusual?"

Voldemort murmured what the other party said, but Headmaster Black just nodded and didn't say anything more specific.

Perhaps, the other party just had such a vague feeling and couldn't tell why, so it came to an abrupt end.

"Thank you, Principal Black, this means a lot to me."

Voldemort thanked him again, turned and went downstairs.

Albuga tried to invite him to dine at the villa, but Voldemort refused.

Apart from portraits and a house-elf, there are no real wizards here, and eating here can get a little weird.

Also, he doesn't like to socialize.

However, Voldemort liked the gift given to him by Olbuga—pointing out where the secret compartment was:
The spellbook of the Black family.

Just looking at the name, one knows that the content inside is destined to be extraordinary.

You know, this is the first magic book he got that belonged to a family secret.

It seems that the Black family really cares about their blood.

But come to think of it, this is not surprising.

After all, there was only one Sirius left.

If you don't pay attention to it, the male branch of the Black family will really be cut off.
