Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 298 Know, But Can't Say

After a little thought, Voldemort temporarily gave up this choice.

He felt that this was too abrupt and lacking respect for the director.

Moreover, if it was really the director, there would be some danger for him to do so.

"Let's ask the Hiddleston family first."

Voldemort thought about it, turned around and disappeared in place.

The Hiddleston family does not belong to the holy 28 pure blood. Although they keep saying that they are pure blood, this is not a convincing answer.

"Not all pure-blood families are on the [Pure-Blood List], such as the Potter family. I think we, like them, were rejected by the author."

"There are also mistakes in the directory, such as the Ollivander family, and the mother of the current stick maker is a Muggle, but they are still included in that broken book full of holes."

The wizards of the Hiddleston family often slander the [Pureblood List] in this way to express their dissatisfaction and to make excuses for not being included in the list.

But in fact, most families know that they are not pure blood.

That's because a very famous history of the Hiddleston family exposed the secrets of their bloodline:
200 years ago, the Hiddleston family was in trouble for a long time due to financial problems.

In the end they had to let the best successor in the family marry a rich Muggle widow to solve the problem.

Almost all the descendants of the Hiddleston family today continue from the widow's line.

With such an identity, how could it be pure blood.

But this family likes to deceive themselves and others, and is still promoting their pure blood identity everywhere.

When Voldemort came to power ten years ago, the family wanted to lean in too.

Unfortunately, Voldemort didn't like them, so they didn't even have the qualifications to be Death Eaters.

However, this also made them lucky to escape the later blame.

In order to retaliate against these Death Eaters for not supporting them to join this organization, Brand, the patriarch of the Hiddleston family, took the lead in reporting the Malfoy family.

After that, he also made public remarks criticizing the Dark Lord many times.

Even at that time, attacking the Dark Lord seemed to be the most correct choice, but there were very few people like him who gained positions by relying on dirty words and mindless curses.

Therefore, when Voldemort suddenly knocked on the door of his house after more than ten years, the people of the Hiddleston family were terrified.

"About your sister, Brand, I just want to know something about her." Voldemort asked, looking at Brand who was trembling in front of him.

"Can you be more specific? Lord Dark Lord, you know that she left the family very early, and we haven't been in touch these years."

Brand was very humble. From his words, it was completely unexpected that those dirty insults were all uttered by this person.

"I was not specific enough, Brand, I want to know, did she join any special organization?" Voldemort asked politely.

It's not that he didn't know about those remarks, after all, the Malfoy family hated them deeply, Lucius and Abramovich had fought against him, and hoped that he would clean up the family in the future.

But he really didn't care about those remarks.

The matter between you and Riddle has nothing to do with me, Voldemort?

This is roughly Voldemort's thinking, he thinks he is brand new, not a continuation of someone else.

"I've never heard of it, Lord Dark Lord." Patriarch Brand shook his head. "We're not close, so even if she did, she wouldn't be able to tell me."

Seeing that Voldemort was very polite, he felt relieved, and his expression became much more natural.

"Yes, I also heard very early that she was expelled from your family."

Voldemort's words brought a smile to Brand's face.

He nodded vigorously, indicating that this was indeed the case, and then made a powerless look.

This was due to a change in his mentality, and the cause was also due to Mr. Crouch.

In recent days, Crouch flaunted the news of Voldemort's return, and firmly stated that Voldemort's strength is not as good as before.

This is not baseless slander.

He listed many reasons, including but not limited to, Voldemort did not dare to disclose his identity.

In short, because of Voldemort's politeness, Brand felt that Crouch's guess should be correct.

So, he put on this confident but powerless look.

Voldemort also laughed, and he still spoke politely, but the content of his words made Brand freeze on the spot.

"Mr. Brand, can I search your memory so that I can confirm that you are not lying?"

"This...not so good."

"Since you agreed, I think you'd better not resist."

Voldemort directly raised his wand and pointed at Brand without hesitation.

For a moment, Brand wanted to fight, but the thought faded as quickly as it came, and then his memory began to be read.

Not long after, Voldemort lowered his wand with a look of disappointment.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Brand. I hope that the news of my appearance will not be spread. It will be very detrimental to your family."

Voldemort said, got up to say goodbye to the other party, and then left the Hiddleston family estate.

During this process, Brand must make up for his previous mistakes and today's arrogance, hoping to entertain Lord Dark Lord.

But Voldemort didn't want to waste time with him, so he refused and left.

After that, Voldemort couldn't help but feel curious, and went straight to the Department of Mysteries.

Wearing the mask and black robe from last time, and using the pseudonym from last time, Voldemort successfully entered the Department of Mysteries and met Director Whitebeard.

"It's not the silent man, Mr. Sylvester. One of the most important rules in our code says that you are not allowed to be a counselor." Director Whitebeard denied on the spot.

"Can't participate?" Voldemort asked suspiciously.

"Yes, no matter what, we stay out of it."

Director Whitebeard said with a smile, but then added, "Of course, we still have to participate in the management of private or family affairs, but not as silent people."

"The Reticent... It seems that your style of acting is the same as your name." Voldemort said with a sigh.

Director Whitebeard nodded with a smile, and said nothing more.

"Then do you know who they are?" Voldemort asked again.

"I know, in fact, we have been paying attention to them for a long time." The words of Director Whitebeard surprised Voldemort.

"Who are they?" Voldemort asked.

"Sorry, Mr. Sylvester, I can't say this." The white-bearded director spread his hands, "The silent man is not allowed to be a consultant. This is the reason why I can't help you."

Voldemort frowned, and looked at Whitebeard carefully. It seemed that the other party did not seem to be lying.

"What if I join the Reticent Man?" Voldemort asked.

"This matter can only be known by becoming the person in charge of the silent people, that is, in my position, so..."

Director Whitebeard shrugged, "You have to wait until I retire before you get this information."
