[HP] Dark Lord's pet

Chapter 45 Debate

Voldemort slapped the latest issue of The Quibbler on the table, and the last line of that article about a very powerful wizard is alluding to whom most people know well.

"Despicable Dumbledore!" Voldemort's eyes were red with anger.

Olivia and Arnold looked at each other.Voldemort's origin is not a secret, at least not among the Death Eaters. Everyone tacitly maintains its "secret" status, but it is to raise a clear banner under which people are closely united.

As for why Voldemort is so angry, it is not only because of Dumbledore's allusion to his life experience, but also because Dumbledore's article is like the first slogan shouted in the dark, awakening those who pretended to be asleep, and the peaceful Britain began to move again. .

He didn't even have breakfast, and left Star Manor straight away.

Olivia looked at Arnold: "Al, you shouldn't be busy recently, why don't you think about how to refute this article if it were you?"

Arnold froze for a moment, as if he was puzzled by Olivia's sudden thought.But he was not impatient to be dominated, but began to think seriously. After a while, he said: "If it were me, Mom, I would..."

"Don't—" Olivia stopped him: "Write it down, okay?"

Arnold looked at Olivia's serious eyes, and lowered them thoughtfully: "Okay, Mom."

By the time of dinner, Arnold had prepared a thick stack of parchment, on which he listed reasons one by one to refute Dumbledore's remarks.

Olivia took it and looked at it seriously. Finally, she drew a circle on the page "Performing Duties" with a quill, and returned the parchment to Arnold.

"Mom?" Arnold looked at her suspiciously.

"Don't worry, I don't need this reason for now, sort it out, and post this to the "Daily Prophet."

Arnold's eyes lit up, and he looked at Olivia uncertainly.

Olivia smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Get ready."

Arnold's eyes flickered.

If you want to help the Dark Lord, you should undoubtedly use the strongest reason to refute and hold the initiative in your hands.

If you want to help Dumbledore, just continue to stay out of it as before.

But in this situation, Arnold wasn't sure what Olivia wanted to do, but he understood the hint. This was obviously an excellent opportunity for him that should not be missed.

The next day, in the Daily Prophet, Arnold refuted Dumbledore's misinterpretation of Slytherin's theory in real name.The title is "Stable World?Wizarding Prejudice Against Muggles".

A week later, another article "Smoke under the Secrecy Act" was published in "The Quibbler", signed by Harry Potter, the savior who most people doubted but recognized, but who wrote it was a little bit different. Anyone who has had contact with the "Savior Trio" knows it all.

The Daily Prophet and the Quibbler confront each other, and they refute each other's views from various angles with an article a week.It was like a huge debate, which attracted the attention of almost everyone in the UK, and even many foreign newspapers began to report related news.

When Voldemort wanted to intervene in it and solve it quickly, he realized that he had missed the opportunity-this debate seemed to have become a stage for young people's ideological confrontation.If he were to leave, it would be a bit of a fuss.

A truly sensible wizard will not change his direction because of various reports.But most people, especially young wizards who have just graduated and are still studying at Hogwarts, they are relatively easy to influence.

They swayed over every report, and one week they thought Harry Potter was so penetrating, and the next week they adored Arnold Starr.

"This is a good way for you to stop the war, Olivia?" Voldemort looked at Olivia blankly.

Olivia shook her head with an innocent expression: "Why, my lord, I'm not that stupid, war is inevitable, I'm just reducing losses, the battlefield is not here."

Voldemort sneered: "The quiet Britain is now arguing about two theories. You tell me that you are reducing losses? More and more people dare to speak. Are you trying to provoke a revival of thought?"

"The wise Lord Dark Lord should not be angry," Olivia looked at him blankly, "This is Dumbledore's intention, not mine. The more the discussion, the deeper the truth, and the true essence will not be buried. Unless you also think your theory doesn't hold water."

Voldemort pulled Olivia away, and he stared at her with red eyes: "Are you going to tell me again that I was wrong? Olivia, or do you really think that such an argument will make Arnold famous? Do I need to An heir is not something you can decide!"

Olivia's face was pale, and hurt flashed in her eyes. She looked at Voldemort seriously: "My lord, I do have selfishness, and I hope that Arnold will get more support. But I did not betray you! I never regarded him as your Heir cultivation, you should be clear about this point, it's not fair to me, and it's not fair to my feelings!"

"I know that your purpose is to fool them. It is a good thing to have only one voice, but the calmness on the surface will only make the sparks lurking in the dark stronger. True or false can be debated, but the more forbidden, it will only make people The more you yearn for it, the more you should understand!"

Just like the name Voldemort, people are afraid to mention it, but they don't really fear it like a god, otherwise, how could they develop a reference to "mysterious man".

Voldemort loosened his strength a little, and Olivia turned her wrist, she was pale and without a trace of blood.

"You claim to be kind, Olivia," Voldemort murmured softly, "You must know that once Arnold fails, I need to use ten times or even a hundred times the blood to get back to the previous situation."

"Then take it as a lesson for him. This lesson is enough to impress him. Besides, I believe in him, he has such ability." Olivia lowered her head.

"You have such confidence in Arnold? Maybe he will lose in a mess." Voldemort leaned on her.

"I still have this confidence, and you should also believe in his ability, after all, he is so like you." Olivia smiled at him flatteringly: "And even if I really lose in the end, I can still provide you with A less lossy solution."

"Oh?"

"A committee of experts led by the Ministry of Magic traced back the history and tried the slanderers."

Voldemort read her words silently: "Trace to the roots of history, and judge those who slander... Hahahaha" He laughed exaggeratedly.

After a long time, he raised Olivia's chin: "You are like Dumbledore, with a hypocritical mask covering a cold heart."

Olivia blinked: "My lord, Ravenclaw is not as good as Slytherin in this regard, but self-interest is also our creed."

She held her hand on her chin: "Besides, you know who I'm for, don't you?"

"That's exactly what I want to say, Olivia." Voldemort moved his hand coldly: "You are very good, but you refuse to advise me. Instead, it is Arnold's business—"

"My lord," Olivia interrupted him: "Are you jealous?"

Voldemort snorted in disdain.

Olivia leaned over and hugged him: "You are equally important to me."

Olivia was telling the truth.

But she also understood that Voldemort had a special feeling for Arnold.He is jealous and appreciates the component called "maternal love" between her and Arnold.And once Olivia loses tolerance and love for Arnold, he will disdainfully say that it is nothing more than that, and feel disappointed.

He has not experienced "maternal love", but he can't help observing and studying it in Arnold.

The stand-off between the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler lasted longer than anyone imagined, and its impact was unexpected, especially after it was discovered that the person who first published the theory did not "disappear" there.

In the beginning, only a few people expressed their opinions in the newspaper, refuting a certain party's theory or supplementing a certain party's data.Then slowly, more and more people got involved.This discussion seems to have become universal.

Public opinion formed two wind directions, but the strange thing is that these two wind directions have maintained a harmonious and stable state, and no one side was directly crushed and suffered a complete defeat.

After this phenomenon lasted for several months, a voice began to emerge, why not come to a live debate and list the views of both sides at once?

The Death Eaters took this voice as a joke, but the Order of the Phoenix really had enough of this soft knife grinding flesh, and they hoped to have a good time.

Some emotional people said: "Even if I die in the next second, I will let people know that the blood theory is wrong!"

As a result, Harry Potter published an invitation letter in both the "Daily Prophet" and "The Quibbler", inviting Arnold to discuss and exchange this theory.

Of course, Arnold immediately welcomed it.

Many people applauded warmly for this, saying that this move created a precedent for wizards—since wizards have magic wands, they will not waste their words on things that can be solved with magic.Others were devoutly grateful to Merlin, they didn't care about the outcome, but at least it was over, wasn't it? Their favorite gossip is back in the Daily Prophet.

At this time, Dumbledore suddenly came forward and said: This debate is a manifestation of the ideological progress of the younger generation. I think we should give encouragement and support. For this reason, I hope to get a live invitation letter so that I can experience it on the spot. Such an atmosphere.

The Death Eaters were working overtime on this, trying to figure out what Dumbledore was thinking, and deeply believed it was a conspiracy.But what was going on so much, even the most successful spy, Severus Snape, could not know, and in the end they had to agree that Dumbledore was an old madman!old fool!

Voldemort couldn't help but suspect Dumbledore's intentions, but the guesses were fruitless, so he could only decide to see the trick.Besides, Dumbledore is finally willing to get out of Hogwarts, no matter what his intentions are, it's a good thing for Voldemort, isn't it?

Therefore, the Ministry of Magic took the initiative to undertake this grand event. They deliberately borrowed the Quidditch field of the England team and made various preparations. Finally, they scheduled the debate on Christmas Day of this year.

The author has something to say: Well... I don't think Voldemort's parentage is a secret among the Death Eaters.

Reason 1. Voldemort took them to Riddle's graveyard when he was resurrected, and did not hide it. 2. Bella knew his name Tom Riddle during the Ministry of Magic War, and expressed anger at Harry calling him by that name and, to For the sake of v, he doesn't need to hide anything at all, and it doesn't matter, he just relies on strength and fear to rule them. Let's count down.
