The Handsome Dark Lord[Comprehensive]

Voldemort's purpose is not just to get close to Harry or to contain Dumbledore. Although these two are also valuable goals, the real reason for staying in Hogwarts for a long time is the rich collection of books in the library and the cleanliness of Hogwarts. Comfortable research environment.

The research on Muggle Moments has been stuck in a bottleneck for a long time. Although Harry is the solution that kills many birds with one stone, it is always the sword of Damocles hanging over the head, and it must be resolved as soon as possible.

Voldemort made full preparations to come, and Dumbledore's compromise was completely expected.Still, the feeling of a real win is unmatched.

Dumbledore took out the Hogwarts magic contract, which is signed by the staff of every castle, even the headmaster, in order to grant and restrict their authority.

"I think you should be familiar with this set of procedures." Dumbledore said calmly, "You also went through it five years ago."

He was undoubtedly reminding Voldemort of the past when he possessed Professor Quirrell.Obviously, it was not a pleasant memory for the person involved.

That didn't spoil Voldemort's overwhelmingly good mood, either.When he finally left the principal's office, the joy of victory was always with him.

Harry's text messages add to that.

His gift had been arranged - and used in today's confrontation - Aberforth's freedom.

I wanted to tell Harry directly, but seeing that he misunderstood the gift from Malfoy's family, I suddenly didn't want to say it.

He climbed to the top of the Astronomy Tower, looking at Hogwarts in the dark, long-lost memories came flooding back.

Hogwarts was a past he rarely looked back on.That doesn't mean how much warmth and touch he got here.On the contrary, as a Slytherin, he must learn to observe his words and actions, and act hypocritically, to seek his own interests in the sinister and clumsy intrigues.

There was no tenderness in all this, but it just fascinated him.

Come back again and he will have a very different life.Not only because of the change of status, but also because of the transfer of the target, and because of the additional... people who attracted him.

It's hard to say what exactly determines that attraction.

He neither craves nor appreciates such positive emotions as truth, beauty, love, and greatness.But Harry is deeply entangled with him from soul to blood, from body to fate.Even every connection among them was planted by him himself, and Harry Potter was only the fruit of their development.

Everything happened so naturally.And he actually felt fresh and interesting while being troubled.

By now, he hadn't bothered to think about whether it was right - the word right didn't exist in the Dark Lord's dictionary - only to plan how to take it.

The stars are blooming overhead, the wind blowing from the Forbidden Forest makes the rustling of leaves, and the meadows and black lake sparkle under the moonlight.

He blew on the top of the tower for a while, his thoughts drifting from Harry's graduation aspirations to Muggle knowledge and technology.Before I knew it, many impromptu things became more and more important.

Two days later, Harry learned of his birthday present from Sirius.

"Harry! Aberforth is saved!"

Sirius visits the Burrow early in the morning through the fireplace.

Mrs. Weasley had just made breakfast, and the big news immediately attracted everyone at the table.

"How did you do it?" Fleur asked softly in English with an accent, "I remember Bill telling me that he was captured by the mysterious man himself."

They sat at the dinner table, Bill and Mr. Weasley had already gone to work, and Fleur's internship would not go until the afternoon, so they had breakfast with everyone.

Ginny pulled Hermione to the seat farthest from her, Ron and Harry had to sit next to her, Sirius sat opposite, and Mrs Weasley claimed that she had already settled breakfast in the kitchen and refused to serve it.

Sirius locked Harry with his examining gaze.

"I don't know the exact circumstances, but Dumbledore said the Death Eaters put him there. Aberforth's version is that...Harry saved him."

All eyes were on Harry, as if he had suddenly turned into a glowing cactus.

"Harry!" Hermione called.Shocked and worried again.

"What's the matter, Harry?" Sirius asked, "Aberforth can't tell, Dumbledore doesn't even know what's going on..."

"What do you mean you can't tell?" Ron asked.

"He was cast with a profound secrecy magic, and he couldn't say anything." Sirius said seriously, "But he can say that Harry saved him, which means that this matter is not within the scope of secrecy, and Voldemort doesn't know about it!"

The Burrow was blown by a quiet shudder.

Harry fidgeted a little: "I-I can't...not really say..."

His voice trailed off, especially when the crowd was in fear of a name, and it seemed like a crime to say it.

Sirius said disappointedly: "Sure enough... Aberforth said the same."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, not understanding why Voldemort would do this.Apparently, Aberforth had his permission for what he said.But Draco's cover couldn't reach the point of rescuing Aberforth, if this continues, the fire will be overwhelmed...

When Harry was preoccupied, Hermione received four newspapers from owls.

As soon as she unfolded it and glanced at it, she exclaimed, "It's already in the newspaper!"

Sirius said not unexpectedly: "In the interview just accepted yesterday, Aberforth told the reporter that Harry saved him."

"W-what?" Harry said nervously, "But this can't be said—"

"Don't worry." Sirius reassured, "Dumbledore discussed with us that this kind of reporting works best. You don't have to say anything to the reporters, Harry, just avoid them, and we will help you."

Mrs. Weasley immediately expressed her support, and the others followed suit.The Weasley family has consciously shielded Harry from prying eyes and protected his privacy since the day they met Harry.

Harry could only look at them gratefully.

"Have you bought anything for the start of school, Harry?" Sirius reminded, "As soon as possible. After the report comes out, you will be focused on for a while."

At this time, everyone still does not understand the true meaning of this sentence.

Until Mr. Weasley was almost followed by reporters and moved home, Mrs. Weasley gave him and Bill a specially made door key leading directly to the living room.

"They wanted to know about Harry's vacation," Bill explained, "but they didn't know where he was. They had to find a way to find his best friend, my brother."

Ron opened his mouth wide and pointed at himself in disbelief: "Me?" He looked aside, "Are they looking for me?"

Fleur smiled and said, "Aren't you Harry's good friend?"

Ron looked at her and stammered, "I, I am. I just didn't expect... this kind of attention could be my turn..."

Hermione stood up suddenly: "I'm going to preview my homework." She glared at Ron, "Harry has already started reading the new Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook "The Order of Magic"!"

Deng Deng went upstairs.

Harry had indeed started reading his new textbooks.Due to the concentrated attention of the reporters, he couldn't go out at all recently, and even riding a broom was restricted by Mrs. Weasley to the fence in the yard, because she had spotted trade pigeons pecking at the fence of the Burrow more than once.

It is a magical creature that collects wind sounds by pecking through wood, and many newspaper offices specially raise it to collect information.

There's a reason why the press attention has erupted on Harry.

The robbery at the Pig's Head Bar directly triggered several outrageous public demonstrations/parades, and the Ministry of Magic had to publish a list of fugitives arrested since the Azkaban escape.

The list of nearly [-] people temporarily quelled public anger, but reminded the public of the number of remaining fugitives from another angle; the fugitive organization that was faintly revealed in the robbery case-although there was no official statement, many people already believed it was Death Eater gangsters - also very scary.

It can be said that the wizarding world once reached the point where everyone was in danger.In this case, the safe return of Aberforth is particularly exciting.

The reporter tried to dig out the story from his mouth over and over again, and finally forced him to abandon the shop and live in seclusion, and only got the information that the rescuer was Harry Potter.

For a while, Harry became the hottest topic of discussion again.People suddenly noticed that he participated in the battle of Azkaban. He was fighting on the front line against the dark wizard from the very beginning. Claiming to have seen it dispel Hogsmeade's dementors, and now even secretly rescued the Hogsmeade bar owner who was robbed, it is simply a rising savior.

They selectively ignored his early claims of the return of the Dark Lord, and suddenly forgot that he had been slandered by Dumbledore as an impulsive and sensitive teenager who had been brainwashed by Dumbledore.Now they want to find a mysterious and powerful asylum for their fear. Dumbledore is too familiar, and the young savior has just begun to emerge, symbolizing and representing infinite possibilities.

"Is this your gift?"

On the last date before school, Harry specially brought a copy of "Daily Magic", which was the first newspaper to publish Aberforth's salvation.

They were sitting in the living room of a high-end apartment. Voldemort took the newspaper, threw it aside without even glancing at the headline, and snorted very low: "Dumbledore is cheap."

Harry couldn't help snickering, but was pushed down on the sofa.

The magnificent red eyes stared at him intensely.

"I'm assuming you know that the Dark Lord doesn't like charity... time to get my payback."

Harry blinked and looked down, onto those soft lips.
