Hogwarts: I am Voldemort

It was Bella who awakened Voldemort, and only ten minutes had passed.

The short sleep did not restore Voldemort's energy, but made his thinking more chaotic.

"Where's Albus?"

Voldemort turned his head and looked at where the white-feathered phoenix was lying just now and asked.

"Has been carried into the castle." Bella replied.

"That's quite a waste of energy." Voldemort said with a laugh.

"Hagrid carried it. He is very strong." Bella said.

Voldemort nodded. He had forgotten that there was a gamekeeper at Hogwarts.

"How long until the truce ends?" Voldemort asked again.

"More than half an hour, Master."

"Who is in charge of Hogwarts now?"

"Professor McGonagall."

"Let's go meet her."

Voldemort said as he stood up, followed Bella, passed through the Fountain Square that had been occupied by the enemy, entered the Clock and Drum Tower and went up the stairs.

At this time, all Hogwarts factions have gathered here, and they are waiting for Professor McGonagall to give the final order.

When Voldemort walked in, the Death Eaters naturally wanted to bow to him, and besides them, even some students and professors also bowed to Voldemort.

Voldemort just smiled and nodded at them, without saying anything.

After arriving at the platform near where he and Dumbledore had been, he heard arguments coming from above.

"It is impossible to surrender immediately. That will only put us at a disadvantage in negotiations." It was Abu's old voice, full of anger.

"Maybe you just have other considerations, Mr. Malfoy, what do you want to gain in this battle?" A sinister voice sounded. It was obvious that the owner of this voice was on the opposite side of Abu.

"Don't make any noise." Professor McGonagall's voice sounded, "The principal didn't specify the time, but I think this matter can be discussed with the Dark Lord."

"Are you going to take orders from the Dark Lord now?" the sinister voice asked again.

Voldemort frowned in dissatisfaction, coughed slightly and walked onto the platform, looking at the owner of the gloomy voice.

It was Snape, and his face was changing from sullen to surprised in a way that made him look like he was mismanaging his expression.

"Are you impatient to surrender to your new master, Snape?" Voldemort asked mercilessly.

"Well... this... Your Majesty, I am just seeking for us..."

"It's you, Snape, not us."

After Voldemort finished speaking, he looked at McGonagall, stretched out his hand and said, "Before you surrender, give me the Elder Wand."

McGonagall immediately handed the Elder Wand to Voldemort without any sign of reluctance.

This was truly a trustworthy person, and it was no wonder that Dumbledore entrusted Hogwarts to her in the end.

Taking the Elder Wand and inserting it into his waist, Voldemort took two steps forward, came to the front of the platform, and looked at the enemy below.

They were also resting, but unlike the scattered wizards, these people still adhered to the rules and never left their swords.

"What do you think, Dark Lord... Your Majesty?" Professor McGonagall hesitated before adding the last word.

"Has Dumbledore's body been restored to its original state?" Voldemort did not answer, but asked instead.

"It's recovering, but it still needs some time. The previous transformation wave was too strong, and..."

Mag hesitated and said, "It's probably not possible to completely recover. After all, it's a powerful transformation spell."

Voldemort nodded, looked at his enemy again, and then lit his wand on the armrest of the bell tower.

"Your Majesty the Dark Lord, time is limited, what is your opinion?" Mag urged.

"Wait a minute, I have to make some judgments."

Voldemort said, spreading the magic along the wand towards the bell tower.

Although everyone didn't know why, they still waited quietly.

After a while, Voldemort took back his wand and nodded with satisfaction.

"If Hogwarts surrenders, the enemy will have control of all wizard apprentices, which will have a huge blow to the Ministry of Magic, and may even directly force the entire wizarding world in England to surrender, so..."

"But do we still have hope?" Snape's voice finally stopped being sinister, but he interrupted Voldemort.

Everyone looked at Snape, including Voldemort.

"What's wrong?" Snape asked innocently.

Voldemort frowned, not as dissatisfied as before.

Instead, he found that there seemed to be something wrong with Snape, not physically, but with his brain.

Ever since he couldn't use Occlumency, his whole person had been a little abnormal, and now, it was just a concentrated burst of this abnormality.

Perhaps it was the experience in the Memory Hall of the Department of Mysteries and the implantation of memories within the observer that made him what he is now.

"You don't need to participate in the last battle. This time I will face the enemy by myself." Voldemort ignored Snape and said to McGonagall.

"Yourself?" Professor McGonagall asked in surprise, and she and everyone also looked at Voldemort in surprise.

"Yes, this battle... I can't say what the outcome will be. However, I will try my best to destroy the machines or magic circles that block the use of the Vanishing Cabinet. When the time comes, you can take your children and leave quickly. Hogwarts cannot hold it. ." Voldemort arranged.

"..."

Everyone was speechless for a moment, and no one knew what to say.

Dumbledore had also made a desperate attempt to destroy the machine used to block the Vanishing Cabinet. He thought it was the Castle in the Sky.

As a result, the Sky City was not destroyed, and the machine or magic circle that blocked the disappearing cabinet was not found.

Even in the end...

"Owner……"

"I'm okay, Bella, I'm sure."

Voldemort stopped Bella's persuasion, but he didn't mean what he said.

He was actually not sure, and he even felt that it might be a wrong choice.

But, as he had told himself before, he was ready to die.

He wanted to fight hard once more, and he also wanted to use his most primitive skills to the extreme.

Yes, he is ready to ignite the "Darkest Hour" again.

It might have been a sinking point, but he decided to give it a try.

"Dumbledore's body also needs to be transported out. The enemy is likely to completely occupy or destroy Hogwarts, making it unsafe to leave him here.

"If something happens to me and I can't come back for the time being, the Death Eaters will..."

Voldemort's eyes swept over Abu, Old Turner, Bella, and Little Crouch, but he couldn't make up his mind for the moment.

Finally, he looked at Neville in the corner behind everyone. This child was brought here to attend the meeting because of his bravery in combat.

"Neville, he temporarily holds my power and can make judgments based on the situation and issue orders to the Death Eaters."

Voldemort's appointment was undoubtedly surprising. Abu was the first to object, but he just moved slightly and shut up.

Others, on the other hand, didn't seem to have much opinion on this. It seemed that his performance just now had indeed conquered some people.
