Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 195 Karkaroff, You Seem... Scared Of Me
"Karkaroff, you seem to be afraid of me."

"No...no, sir."

Igor Karkaroff raised his head subconsciously, then lowered it hastily.

His body trembled uncontrollably, especially when facing the person standing in front of him.

The kind of fear that came from instinct made him dare not even go beyond the slightest.

Whether it's behavior or communication.

Karkaroff didn't dare to make any big moves, fearing that the person opposite would suddenly turn around and cast Avada Kedavra on him.

Just because he betrayed countless Death Eaters, just because he betrayed the man in front of him, he can enjoy this kind of top treatment.

So, he was afraid, and his body was trembling with the fear in his heart.

"But I see that you are afraid of me."

Tom turned, wand in one hand, fingers on the tip of the other, and watched the headmaster of Durmstrang knelt before him.

As for why...

Tom probably guessed it too.

It is estimated that Karkaroff regarded himself as Voldemort, thinking that he was here to settle accounts with him.

This has to be said, very interesting and very dramatic.

The principal of Durmstrang College, which he was worried about the most difficult to change, turned out to be the one who was the best to clean up.

This made Tom see a great possibility to use his own ideas to gradually eliminate those diehards in Durmstrang College who support the theory of blood.

Renovate a batch, kill a batch, and with the help of this "principal", I believe that the resistance for him to control Durmstrang Academy will be much less than what I imagined.

However, this requires the cooperation of one person.

For Karkaroff to cooperate with him, a little intimidation is needed first.

The corners of Tom's mouth curled up, and Karkaroff, who subconsciously looked up at this scene, was frightened.

Lowering his head, he didn't make any attempt to resist.

"Keep your head up, Karkaroff."

"Yes... yes, Lord Dark Lord."

He was trembling as he spoke, mustering up great courage to raise his head and look at the young man in white robe in front of him.

Karkaroff never expected that the man who was making trouble in Germany would be that man.

God knows how angry he was when he was blocked by the man in front of him, and how scared he was when he saw this man's face.

If I had known that he was the one who was making trouble in the German magic world, he would have to run away no matter what.

Run far away, go to Africa, go to America, go to a place where he can't find it.

It's fine to go anywhere, just don't stay here.

Karkaroff could already imagine his own ending.

Betrayed the man in front of him, betrayed countless Death Eaters.

I'm afraid that in the next second, that brilliant green light will hit him and take his life away.

But unexpectedly, there was no green light hitting his body, all he saw was a charming smile from this man.

"Karkaroff."

He heard him say his name.

"I need you to do me a favor, those Death Eaters you betrayed, I can settle for you, but I need to see your sincerity."

Mild is different from the coldness of the past.

Speak the gentlest words in the calmest tone.

And the content of the words is not just a meaning.

Karkaroff seemed a little unbelievable when he heard that his pupils had dilated.

At this moment, the fear left by Voldemort gradually subsided, and he took a good look at the man in front of him.

This man didn't have Voldemort's sometimes crazy and sometimes quiet temperament, he didn't have Voldemort's undisguised malice towards everyone in his heart, and he didn't have any actions that trampled on the dignity of others.

The person in front of him seemed to be the same as Voldemort, and he insisted on telling him how he felt about him.

That should be more like Albus Dumbledore at Hogwarts.

But it has more majesty than Dumbledore.

Look into his eyes that are neither happy nor sad.

Even Karkaroff knew that the return of Voldemort he guessed might be very different from what he imagined.

But he still didn't dare to stand up and look directly at him.

So what if you guessed right?

Can't change anything?
He had seen this man and Voldemort. Even though this man was different from Voldemort, the connection between the two might be deeper than he imagined.

So... does he dare to move?
Really dare not, he still wants to live a few more years.

"I will always be your servant."

Karkaroff's eyes flickered, and he thought for a few seconds, until he saw the impatience in the eyes of the man in front of him, then he lowered his head to the lowest point in fear, and pressed firmly on the ground.

After guessing that the man in front of him might not be his master Voldemort, Karkaroff started to think about it a little.

But the move had just begun, and it ended with Tom's frown.

He was afraid, Karkaroff, who had already been scared out of his wits, was afraid.

When facing those hypocritical politicians, he can test without hesitation.

But facing someone suspected of being Voldemort, it was no longer a test, it was letting him be buried in advance, without even having time to buy a grave.

"Remember what you said, Karkaroff."

Tom took a few steps forward, walking slowly to him step by step.

He timed every step very well, neither too slow nor too abrupt.

He walked straight up to Karkaroff.

Karkaroff, who lowered his head, looked at the pair of shoes that appeared in his sight, and lowered his head even lower.

He was not a man of courage.

"Don't even think about betraying me. If you betray me, there will be no place for you in this world."

"Don't doubt what I say, Karkaroff."

"Although I'm not him, there is one thing we two are very clear about, and that is to kill all those who betray us."

The last four words were read word by word by Tom watching Karkaroff.

His voice was cold, and his eyes seemed to contain knives.

Straight through Karkaroff's heart.

"Don't worry, master, I will absolutely never betray you."

Hearing this, Tom just laughed and didn't take this sentence seriously.

What he was thinking about was what kind of benefits he could get from Karkaroff, how he could strengthen his power, and attract more brothers and sisters to join him.

This is what he wants to do most now.

As for what Karkaroff thinks in his heart, that has little to do with him...

Whether she will betray him or not, I don't think so.

It is not easy to spend all this energy to create the current situation.

Looking at Karkaroff kneeling in front of him, Tom knew clearly in his heart that he would wait for the day when Voldemort returned.

The man kneeling in front of him will cling to him desperately.
