Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 471 Situation

"grim Reaper?"

Voldemort's brows were all wrinkled, and there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

Percy nodded slowly with a sullen face, looking as if he hadn't recovered from the aftereffects of using the death potu.

"Sir Gump explained it this way, teacher, but I don't think...it's not like a god, but rather kind." Percy said with a frown.

"Is it kind?"

Voldemort murmured, pointing his wand at Percy's forehead, "Let me check, Percy."

Percy didn't resist, just asked, "Is there anything I need to do?"

"Just don't move."

After Voldemort finished speaking, he used Legilimency to experience Percy's experience.

Everything is vivid in his memory, and the memory has not been tampered with. At the same time, Percy's soul felt through this magic has not been excessively eroded by "evil thoughts".

"It doesn't look like he's mean, Percy, but you need to take a break and relax."

Withdrawing his wand, Voldemort looked at Percy with some concern.

This child had just lost his lover, and now he killed someone for the first time, and he killed a lot at once.

Therefore, proper rest is still necessary.

"Teacher, why did they transfer you away?" Percy didn't answer, but asked suspiciously.

Voldemort glanced at him and said, "Crouch and Dumbledore want to know the answer?"

Percy didn't hide anything, and nodded to show that it was indeed the thought of these two people.

"But I want to know, too."

At the end, he added this sentence.

"The Horcrux."

Voldemort replied without any concealment, "They used Horcruxes to set up an ambush and forced me to use a large-scale magic, which caused my magic power to run out and I fell into a coma for a while."

"Coma?" Percy asked in surprise.

Voldemort nodded, and said: "Even the Killing Curse is not a magic that is particularly suitable for combat, but guns exist only for killing people. The combination of Muggle weapons and wizards can produce combat power far beyond imagination."

"You can't deal with it either?" The surprise on Percy's face didn't disappear because of Voldemort's explanation.

"Square for help, they got me where it hurts, Percy."

Voldemort's voice was full of helplessness. The previous experience was indeed a painful experience.

If it wasn't for the Horcrux to hold him back, those people could only flee like bereaved dogs.

But because of the Horcruxes, they forced Voldemort to fight with them there, which made him tied up.

"You are strongest where you are weakest, Percy."

Voldemort gave a wry smile, and continued, "They found my weakness and staged an effective ambush."

"But it can only hold you back, teacher. They are still afraid of you. That's why they set their sights on the Ministry of Magic." Percy said as if flattering, but also as if explaining the facts.

This kid, since becoming an official of the Ministry of Magic, has also begun to pay attention to the art of speaking.

"What's the situation outside now, Percy, I've been dealing with the Horcrux issue since I came back, and I haven't had a chance to go out and have a look." Voldemort changed the subject.

"The Ministry of Magic has resumed normal operations, but panic is inevitable, but Minister Crouch has issued the latest decree to allow wizards to gather together and enter a state of silence, waiting for the situation to change." Percy said simply.

"Where is Dumbledore?" Voldemort asked, "I heard that he made a breakthrough in the Transfiguration Curse, showing a different kind of magic. Is that a new 'language'?"

"The headmaster has talked about it, saying that it's just a new way of using Botu, roughly using a new swinging action to make Botu more effective, and he also wants to add new spells, or do something to the old one. Some changes..."

Speaking of this, Percy suddenly stopped and said, "But it seems that he has no time to study it now."

"Very bad?" Voldemort asked, frowning.

"It's not just about the injury." Percy hesitated briefly before saying, "He's going to contact Buckingham Palace, hoping to reach a settlement."

"reconciliation?"

Voldemort's eyes widened in surprise, "So many people died, without any revenge..."

Shaking his head sighingly, Voldemort didn't finish his sentence.

But in his heart, the idea that Dumbledore might really be old suddenly arose.

"At present, the Ministry of Magic is divided into two factions, which are arguing endlessly, but Minister Crouch and Headmaster Dumbledore both support reconciliation." Percy said with some resentment.

"Do you know exactly why they want to reconcile?" Voldemort asked.

"It's complicated, I can only guess."

Percy didn't give the result directly, but Voldemort still raised his hand, indicating whether it was guesswork or truth, let's talk about it.

"Based on the unknown of Muggles, Minister Crouch seems to be full of terror in his heart. Although he is still as serious as before, you know, we are the same person, so I can feel his subtle changes."

Percy put on a complicated expression, one that looked like a broken idol in his heart.

"Are there any specific details?" Voldemort asked.

"He ate breakfast twice yesterday, but he himself forgot the first time," Percy said simply and plainly.

Voldemort nodded, and said: "As a minister, he must be under a lot of pressure. Tell me what Dumbledore thinks."

"Based on the understanding of the Muggle government, you know, when those Muggles fight, they have to make several sets of plans in a place called the General Staff, and their plans have always been malleable, so..." Perry Xi shut his mouth, picked up the drink on the table and took a sip.

"Dumbledore thinks that the surprise attack on the Ministry of Magic is just the first step?" Voldemort asked.

"Yes, he felt that the enemy was ready, but we weren't...so his thinking was different from Minister Crouch's. The headmaster wanted to delay the time." Percy shrugged.

"It makes sense, but if it were me, it might be more direct." Voldemort said.

"What would you do?" Percy asked curiously.

"Call back." Voldemort replied succinctly.

Percy laughed lightly, then puffed out his chest, and said, "Teacher, how do you respond to the invitation from Headmaster Dumbledore and Minister Crouch?"

"Don't go."

Voldemort waved his hand, "I don't have any position in the Ministry of Magic, and I don't have unparalleled prestige like Dumbledore, so let them decide the future of the wizarding world."

"Let them decide?" Percy couldn't help asking back, he didn't expect Voldemort to answer like this.

"Yes, let them decide, after all, they will definitely not support my idea of ​​calling back."

Voldemort said, spreading his hands helplessly, but then became serious again.

"Also, if I don't participate in the decision this time, then I don't have to abide by the results they negotiated with the Muggle government. Do you understand what I mean?"

Percy rolled his eyes and instantly understood what Voldemort meant.

"I see, teacher, I think I know how to reply to them."

Percy said, stood up, bowed, and said goodbye to leave.
