Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 33 Percy Weasley
With the iconic red hair, thick black-rimmed glasses, stern expression and restrained movements, Voldemort knew without asking that this must be Percy Weasley.

"24 prefects, you are the last." Voldemort said.

"Yes, Professor," Percy replied stiffly.

"why?"

"Because of Peeves, Professor, he delayed my sending the new students back to the lounge."

Voldemort nodded, he vaguely remembered this episode in the book.

"Tell me what you think of Gryffindor." Voldemort lowered his head, looking at the information.

Judging from the documents, Percy is indeed an excellent child, and as far as Voldemort knows, he is also an ambitious man who yearns for power.

Of course, he didn't lack for courage, which is why he was sorted into Gryffindor.

But Voldemort believes that he entered Gryffindor more because of the family - the Weasley family, who have been loyal to Gryffindor for generations.

But according to Voldemort, this should be a Slytherin through and through:

Pure-blooded, smart, full of desire for power, and tactful enough to give up at the end, isn't this enough Slytherin?

"Sorry, Professor, I need more specific information."

Percy pushed his glasses, as if he was afraid that his words would offend Voldemort, and said quickly, "I mean, I don't know where to start."

Voldemort nodded, but shook his head again, which made Percy nervous.

"You have to be more decisive, Percy, even in the face of those in power."

Voldemort stood up, fetched a glass of water for him, and brought it to him, "You have to remember that when a person in power chooses his subordinates, there are only two things that matter the most."

Facing the professor's face close at hand, Percy swallowed nervously, but then asked excitedly, "Professor, I want to know what two points are it."

"Loyalty and responsibility."

Voldemort put down the water, got up and said.

"Loyalty determines how close you are to those in power, and responsibility determines how much authority and responsibilities will be assigned to you by those in power."

Percy nodded vigorously, trying to keep these two points in his mind-he was going to enter the Ministry of Magic, and these two points were very important to remember.

"And decisiveness is the premise of taking responsibility. You can't expect a person who speaks everything to be responsible." Voldemort asked with a smile.

"Yes, professor, I understand." Percy nodded fiercely, and then asked, "Professor, I need you to give me a more specific question."

"A very good answer. This is a trap in itself, because the scope is too broad, and your rhetorical question is the key to solving this problem."

Voldemort's admiration made Percy's face as red as his hair, and he pumped his fists under the table excitedly.

"Then, my question becomes: evaluate Gryffindor objectively, and say what kind of students it is producing."

Voldemort also took a glass of water for himself, sat down and took a sip before speaking.

"Give me some time, please," Percy said bravely.

Voldemort nodded, and began to play with the beads on his wrist-it was composed of 49 tiny wooden beads, which looked beautiful and mysterious.

"I've made up my mind, Professor."

"Say."

"I think……"

"Change feeling to think, this is a manifestation of power."

"Good professor, I think that Gryffindor is making students who are adventurous, but, in my opinion, this is not right."

Voldemort frowned—you silly boy, I want you to express yourself, not to make you jump back, how dare you say anything.

"Explain." Voldemort cleared his throat.

"Okay, Professor." Percy puffed out his chest, "My two younger brothers, you may not know them, but they are naughty ghosts."

Voldemort nodded. Of course he knew the twins, and he still liked them very much, but it was a pity that it was difficult to win them over—if they could not be obtained, should they be destroyed?

"They are always deducted points by Professor McGonagall, but through my observation, that is not enough for them to correct, and even vaguely, I think Professor McGonagall is encouraging them."

"Why do you see that?" Voldemort asked a little surprised.

"Because she never solves the problem in essence." Percy said seriously. "Separating them, starting with the two dormitories and then moving on to the seating arrangements, will make them a lot more honest."

Voldemort slid his index finger up and down his chin, and said thoughtfully, "You mean, together, they'd be a nuisance, but alone..."

"Yes, Professor, they depend on each other and make each other troublesome."

"Then tell me, what is the reason for Professor McGonagall to do this?"

"Let them set an example for the Gryffindor children and let them explore bravely. My two younger brothers even went in and out of the Forbidden Forest. I think Hagrid could easily spot them, but he never cared."

"The courage to break the rules is also a way of education. We can't teach all children as if they were carved out of a mold." Voldemort had to stop his words, this Percy really dared to say it.

"Yes, but even Slytherins are more honest than them, and that's a little too much," grumbled Percy.

Voldemort nodded, not dwelling on the subject any longer.

"Okay, Percy, this question is over." Voldemort said, "Tell me what kind of spells you know, about offensive and defensive spells."

Percy nodded, and immediately began to explain the magic he knew.

It has to be said that this prefect, who has obtained twelve certificates like his brother Bill, in the ordinary wizard level examination, is really good.

After several questions in succession, Voldemort frowned.

"Professor Quirrell, is it because I can't satisfy you?" Percy asked a little cautiously.

"No, on the contrary, I am very satisfied." Voldemort said with a sigh, "But you are in the fifth year, and this year you need to take the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination, which is very important."

Percy froze, he obviously didn't think that much.

"But it's not impossible."

Voldemort's words immediately excited Percy - it almost implied that Voldemort wanted to choose him.

"Please tell me, Professor, I will finish it by any means."

"Calm down, Percy, of course I'll tell you."

Voldemort picked up Percy's introduction sheet and shook it, saying, "Through the introduction above, I think, like me, you should have used the Time-Turner."

Percy blinked, and immediately understood what Voldemort meant.

"Yes, professor, I have used it before, and I will immediately apply to Professor McGonagall to use it again..."

Before he could finish speaking, Voldemort cut him off with a wave of his hand.

"You have to understand the cost of using the time-turner, exchanging the future time for the present time, and there are certain risks." Voldemort said.

"I would," Percy said firmly.

"I'm happy with this, but as a teaching assistant, you have to consider whether it's worth it. I'll give you a day and tell me the answer tomorrow night."

"No need to think about it, Professor Quirrell, I'm going to apply to Professor McGonagall now, please be sure to reserve this spot for me." Percy said, and stood up.

"Not thinking about it anymore?" Voldemort also stood up and asked.

"No need, professor."

Percy said seriously, "I have benefited a lot from the short conversation, I think, you are the teacher I need."

A big smile appeared on Voldemort's face: "Then, I'll wait for your news. After all, time-turners are not easy to apply for."

"I have experience, please trust me, Professor." Percy bowed and said, "Good night, Professor, good news will come tomorrow morning."

"I hope so, good night." Voldemort smiled and waved goodbye.

People of the Weasley family, if he could join the Death Eaters... just thinking about it, Voldemort would be so happy that he couldn't sleep.

　Isn't this kid a Slytherin?I poop on my headstand!
