The little life of a platinum darling

It was already sunset, and Voldemort was alone, wearing a well-fitting black ornate wizard robe, standing on the Muggle street, watching the vehicles of different styles moving slowly in front of him with a numb face. move around.The setting sun left a slender and graceful shadow on his feet.

Well, now he deeply feels that he must have used up all his luck in his life during the time when he was able to get the teachings of his ancestors, and that's why he has fallen into this unlucky situation now.

No one had ever told him that Gringotts was so well-defended.Worthy of being on the same level as Hogwarts, Gringotts, the Wizarding Bank, is known as one of the two safest places in the UK's wizarding world. Even if a soul that no one can see enters it, don't even think about doing anything. something comes out.

Merlin knew that he just wanted to go inside the vault of Lestrange's house to see if Hufflepuff's gold cup was still there, and take it out to find a way to fuse it - the Dark Lord never did Doing sneaky things, but the golden cup originally belonged to him, and he asked Bellatrix to keep it temporarily, so it's only natural to take out his own things, isn't it?

So, knowing that he has no physical body and is still a ghost that no one can see and touch if he wants to, Voldemort swaggered into Gringotts in the center of Diagon Alley without the slightest psychological burden.

The short and ugly goblins are constantly busy with the tasks at hand, and the wizards who are doing the work are also constantly coming and going.Not a single breathing creature looked his way - well, no one could.

He remembered the number of Lestrange Vault, but it was not easy to get there without the goblin's help.

But it doesn't matter, nothing can stop Lord Dark Lord, isn't it?That's what he thought as he stood in the clearing in front of the Destination Vault.

The question now is how to get into this sealed vault.

But this is not a problem. You must know that being a ghost, even if there are all kinds of disadvantages, there are still some advantages.For example, you can walk through walls at will.

If a living person came to the door in front of him, it would definitely be impossible to enter, and the magic lock closed it so that there was no gap.But to Lord Voldemort, who has passed through every imaginable wall, door, and door at Hogwarts during this period - being the Dark Lord has absolutely no voyeurism so dormitories are not included - such a lock does not count at all. on what.

However, many times, things don't go as smoothly as we thought.For example now.

When he saw the scene on the other side through the small metal door, Lord Voldemort was dumbfounded.

Not to be shocked by the wealth of the Lestrange family, but to know that just a few Galleons are nothing to the Dark Lord.It's not surprising that there are a large number of magic items stored in it. The magic items he has seen for so long are no longer enough to make him excited when he sees new things, let alone the most powerful one he ever had. At that time, the Lestranges wanted to present all their wealth in front of him.

The reason for his shock is precisely that none of the above things that he thought of originally appeared, and what is this place now?

How was it that no one or book had ever graciously told him that the vaults beneath Gringotts could actually be connected to the streets above?How come no one told him that the vaults of Gringotts could create bodies for souls! ?If he knew this earlier, why did he bother to look up some ancient books to consider the issue of resurrection?Wouldn't it be enough to just come to Gringotts?

Maybe this is an illusion?But no, everything around me shows that these should be true.Voldemort, who had learned soul magic from his ancestors for so long, was convinced that it was impossible for him not to be able to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

Voldemort looked impatiently at the Muggle passers-by who kept looking back at him because of his "outlandish attire".Take a look, what's there to see!Watch out I'll give you a Crucio!

But are you sure they're looking back at you for what you're wearing and not what you look like?Didn't you notice that some boys and girls are secretly smiling and glancing over here with blushing faces?Don't you see that some boys and girls are eager to come to your side?

Well, the current Voldemort simply doesn't have the time to think about these things.The problem he is facing now is: in a strange place, without even a wand that is not smooth enough in his hand, the magic power in his body is obviously not even enough for him to use a very simple wandless Scourgify (cleaning a new).

He was sure that this body—at least this face must be his own, and even the magic robe on his body was the one he had been wearing since his soul state.But he wasn't sure about the physical quality of this body at all, not sure where he was now, not sure what time it was, and even more uncertain whether the pitiful magic power in his body could be restored to its previous fullness.

"Sir." An unfamiliar male voice came from not far away, interrupting his thinking.

He turned his head and looked over there with some displeasure. A man in Muggle clothes stood there looking at him seriously.

"Sir, we have nothing against you enjoying the scenery on the street, nor against performance art or fancy dress, in fact, I am an alternative lover. But please understand our work, you have been standing here for nearly three hours , and caused a traffic jam for nearly two hours. We hope you can cooperate..." After speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, which seemed to hope that he would leave.

Voldemort squinted at him, didn't say a word, didn't move.

"Sir..." The Muggle man looked at his chest in embarrassment - he has not looked up at his face until now, "Please cooperate..."

Voldemort frowned, and finally decided to leave here first.Although there are some nasty Muggles here, the magic in him now can't kill even a Muggle child.Still, "What's this place?" he asked what looked like a Muggle supervisor, he at least knew where he was.

"This is Rhode Island Avenue, don't you know? Or do you want to go somewhere you are not familiar with? I think we should be able to help." Another tall and thin person and the previous person The man dressed exactly the same answered his question, but his answer didn't quite satisfy Voldemort.

"Is that London?" How did he know where Rhode Island Street was?What's the use of telling him this?

The two Muggles looked at each other in surprise before answering him: "No, this is Washington."

Voldemort was sure he knew where the place-name was, and absolutely sure it wasn't any other place he knew of that had ties to the wizarding world.He never knew that the vault in Gringotts still provides services abroad.In other words, if he wanted to return to the wizarding world, he would have to stay in the Muggle world full of disgusting atmosphere for an unknown period of time, until he had a way to return to London in the Muggle way. Go or be able to find a wizarding family with a complete floo system that can be used across borders.Of course, it doesn't have to be a family, as long as you can find such a fireplace, there will be no problem.

However, the top priority now is not these, but to fill his stomach which has already begun to protest softly.To be honest, he has not experienced this feeling of hunger for many years.Since people around him started calling him the Dark Lord, and those who opposed him and feared him called him Mysterious Man, when was his life not comfortable and superior?Not to mention that after becoming a ghost later, there is no longer the physiological needs of ordinary people such as eating.Now that he suddenly felt the long-lost feeling of hunger, he was almost at a loss.

Moreover, when it came to food, even though he had been despising the Muggle-hating Dark Lord for so long, Voldemort, who had spent his childhood in a Muggle orphanage, still knew some basic Muggle common sense.For example, if you want to solve the urgent hunger problem, you must first use money to buy food.And now, the "powerful" Lord Dark Lord had to admit helplessly that he was very touched that he could wear the robe originally worn by his soul instead of appearing naked on the Muggle streets on his new body.Want to find Muggle currency from inside your robes?That is absolutely impossible.Of course, you can't ask Gringotts, built by goblins who are known for being stingy, to give you such good benefits, can you?

So now, the source of food has become another urgent problem.

But, like we said earlier, no problem can stop the Dark Lord, right? The corners of Voldemort's mouth curled up. He remembered his favorite trick from his youth.I believe that the effect that this face can have in the wizarding world should not be ineffective in the Muggle world.

He found a secret alley, tried to change the robe on his body, at least it was closer to the Muggle style he saw on the street just now, smiled confidently, and walked towards a beautiful lady in rich and expensive clothes.

Two hours later, Voldemort walked out of a very elegant-looking high-end restaurant with a satisfied smile, and he was quite satisfied with the Muggle woman who had just said goodbye to each other.Although Muggles are annoying, but when I had a dinner not long ago, it is still necessary to raise my point of view appropriately.

However, the Dark Lord solemnly warns you here that the great, mysterious, elegant and gorgeous Lord Dark Lord will never and will never do such a degrading thing like "seduction"!Remember, never before!
