Hogwarts: I am Voldemort

"how did you do that?"

Voldemort asked as he leaned close to the glass clock and looked at the scenes that were going on inside.

"It's those sparkling air currents that determine it."

The masked man pointed to the airflow that affects the rise and fall of the hummingbird and said, "We call it the time tide, and it is also the energy source of the time converter."

Voldemort nodded slowly, and after his eyes paused on the airflow for a moment, he tried to find its source.

This is not difficult. If you follow the shining airflow and look around, you can see an obvious exit.

"Where does the tide of time come from?"

Voldemort asked, pointing to the hole where it was difficult to confirm his identity.

"Yes, let you see what it looks like, don't be surprised."

The masked man said proudly, then squatted down and opened the cabinet under the glass cover.

The cabinet was empty except for a palm-sized, plate-shaped conch standing there.

"Is this its true form?" Voldemort asked in surprise.

The masked man nodded, waved his wand and used a lighting spell: "We call it the conch of time, but it just looks like a conch, not a real conch."

As the lighting spell lit up, everyone saw light passing through its body, giving it a somewhat illusory appearance.

"Where did you find it?"

Abu couldn't help but speak, causing the masked man to look at him dissatisfied, but he still answered the question.

"We didn't find it," the masked man said. "According to records, they have been here since the Ministry of Magic appeared."

"The tide is its breath?" Voldemort asked.

"That's what we also guessed, but we don't dare to say that it is definitely the case."

"What does it do?"

"Aside from the time turner, no other functions have been developed yet."

After the masked man finished speaking, he was about to close the cabinet, but Voldemort stopped him.

"Can you take it out and take a look?" Voldemort asked.

"Someone has done this before, and then he entered a time loop." The masked man looked at Voldemort and said, "If you don't mind being in that situation, I don't mind."

Voldemort thought for a moment and shook his head in refusal.

"How does the Time-Turner use time tides?"

When Voldemort asked, the masked man had already closed the cabinet and stood up. He listened to Voldemort's question and knocked on the clock-shaped glass cover.

Surprisingly, the masked man's tapping did not make a normal sound. Instead, his fingers briefly sank into the glass cover.

"A very special magic material. Thanks to the help of Master Nico Flamel. It was he who synthesized this special magic material that made the time converter possible."

The masked man's words surprised everyone. No one expected that Master Flamel would actually be involved in this matter.

But thinking about it again, it is very normal for Master Flamel, as the greatest alchemist in the world, to be involved in this matter.

"Are there any relevant books? I want to study the time turner." After Voldemort finished speaking, he added, "It's best to give me a time turner to study together."

The masked man did not refuse immediately. He looked at Crouch silently, obviously consulting Crouch for his opinion.

"If the Malfoy family is willing to provide security in the name of the family, I think we can lend them relevant information and a time-turner without recording it."

When Crouch said this, he looked at Abramovich specifically.

Obviously, he didn't think Voldemort could represent the Malfoy family.

"no problem."

Abu agreed without any hesitation.

"I have to change my shift in three days, so you only have three days."

The masked man walked to the center of the clock, worked on it for a while, and cast a few more magic spells before taking out a time converter and a thick book.

"At this time three days later, we will still meet at the same place, do you understand?" The masked man handed the two things to Voldemort and looked at him and said.

"no problem."

Voldemort agreed while taking the things in his hands and putting them away.

Then, he was about to look at Crouch to express his gratitude, but just when he turned his head, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Everyone looked at the door warily, while the person at the door looked at everyone in surprise.

"Crock, what are you doing?" the white-bearded wizard asked the masked man.

"Just wait for me."

The masked man named Crook left a message, turned around and followed the white-bearded wizard out.

Voldemort touched the booklet and the time-turner in his pocket. He was not going to hand over these two things until he studied them clearly.

"Who is that man?" Old Nott asked Crouch.

"Director of the Department of Mysteries," Crouch replied.

"Aren't you going to help that... Croaker?" Old Nott asked again.

"The affairs of the Department of Mysteries are managed solely by the Silent Man team. Others are not allowed to interfere, including me."

After Crouch finished speaking, he motioned for everyone to just wait quietly. He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"Aren't you afraid of being reported by that director?" Old Nott was curious about Crouch's calmness and asked again.

"The Silent People never participate in the affairs of the Ministry of Magic, so they will not report it. At most... they will get some benefits."

Crouch glanced at Abu and said, "I think with the financial resources of the Malfoy family, this shouldn't be a problem."

Abu rolled his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

For Voldemort's sake, the Malfoy family was willing to pay, but Crouch's words didn't sound very comfortable.

"call."

The door was pushed open again, and the face of the white-bearded wizard was revealed. He glanced at everyone, his eyes stayed on Voldemort for a moment, and then closed the door again.

"what's the situation?"

Old Nott asked, but no one answered.

Not long after, the door opened again and Croaker walked in.

"I can't lend you the time turner, but I can give you a time conch, but there are conditions." Croaker walked up to Voldemort and said.

"What conditions?" Voldemort asked.

"The director hopes that you can cooperate with him in conducting some...research in the death chamber."

After Croaker finished speaking, he added before Voldemort could speak, "The Director said it was not dangerous research."

"Did he say why he needed me to participate in the research?" Voldemort asked with a frown.

"The director said that you have a strong sense of death, so he wants you to cooperate with a research." Croaker shrugged, "I don't understand much about this, it's the content of the death chamber."

Voldemort thought for a moment and said, "How can I cooperate?"

"When the time converter is returned in three days, the director will also come over. Then you will study it together. If you agree, the time conch can be given to you first." Crocker said.

Voldemort thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"But you must lend me that booklet to study." Voldemort added.

"There's no problem with this, I can make the decision."

Croaker sighed, it seemed that the director had given him the order.

"I will wrap the time conch with time glass. If you want to open it, remember not to let the side with the tide face you."

As he spoke, he walked into the clock again, took out a time conch that was tightly wrapped in time glass, and carefully placed it in Voldemort's hand.

"When the time glass is opened, the time conch will become very fragile. If it explodes next to you, it is likely to involve you in the turbulence of time, so treat it with caution."

Voldemort nodded and carefully took it into his hands.
