172 Voldemort from the first generation

172 Voldemort from the first generation

After the results of the Polyjuice Potion came in, Lily returned to her home.She has lived in Hogsmeade for a long enough time, and she always wants to spend more time with her family.

However, the few of them still agreed to meet in Diagon Alley when they were shopping for items needed for the new semester.

Although the number of shops in Hogsmeade Village is also large, it is not as rich as Diagon Alley.It is intended more for adult wizards than Hogwarts students.

After Lily returned, Snape's visits to Callan became less and less. He often needed to help take care of the business in the Gobstone Club store.

But it doesn't matter, because Karan often goes to the store.

Whenever this happens, Mrs. Prince will always prepare some exquisite snacks. She seems to attach great importance to her son's friends, not only to Karan, but also to Lily.

As the former captain of the Gobstone Team, she knew exactly what it felt like to be unpopular, and at the same time, she did not want the same fate to befall her son again.

On a sunny morning, Karan came to the store again.

Since she had just arrived in Hogsmeade, Mrs. Prince was no longer so familiar with everything around her. She had something urgent to do, so she left Callan and Snape alone.

Snape was sitting behind the counter, taking time out to write his homework, his head so low that his hair fell onto the parchment.But he would always look up at the corner of the room, where the brand new Nimbus 1001 stood.

Although Snape didn't like Quidditch, he still liked this gift very much.

After all, this is the hottest style and model right now.

The Nimbus Company combines safety and ease of control. When it was first born, it defeated the fierce competition between Sideswipe and Comet, and gained the favor of professional Quidditch teams across Europe.

Although this did not improve Snape's flying skills, not even those magical threads could save him.But he still treasures it very much, and even considers whether to spend a "big price" to buy a broomstick care kit.

Of course, this "big price" is just for his own psychological expectations.Neither Karan nor even Lily before receiving the share would care too much about this small amount.

Not far from the counter, Karan was sitting in front of a simple table prepared for the battle.There is more than one table, all specially prepared by Mrs. Prince. She sincerely wants to treat this store as a continuation of the former club.

Now Karan is silently reading the latest report. Skeeter, who backstabbed the Malfoy family, has been re-employed by the newspaper. He will see a report written by her almost every few days.

Today’s one is no exception.

The title of this report is so concise that even Skeeter may not be able to think of any tricks.

Because just during the short holiday, similar reports have appeared more than once, and the phenomenon has even become more and more intense.

Especially the reports about the murder of goblins near Nottingham some time ago shocked the entire magical world.

The wizards couldn't figure out why Voldemort suddenly attacked the goblins.

In the understanding of most wizards, goblins are just inferior creatures who help them take care of gold coins, and they also think that goblins will be very satisfied with this arrangement.

However, this still made the wizards aware of the danger of Voldemort. No one wanted to be the next target to be dealt with inexplicably, or to suddenly see the Dark Mark appearing above their house.

At the same time, titles similar to the mysterious person also spread quietly.

People have grown to fear speaking his name, as well as his most loyal servants, the Death Eaters.

"First the goblins, then the muggles."

Karan rubbed his eyebrows and whispered with a headache: "The Ministry of Magic simply cannot cope with the power of the mysterious man. They are too incompetent and can't stop anything."

Snape's writing suddenly paused. He had also read a lot of recent reports and knew what had happened.

"This doesn't involve Hogsmeade, does it?"

Snape looked around the decorations in the store with worried eyes. This was the new life he had finally found, and he didn't want to lose it all.

"And Lily's place..."

Snape finally said hesitantly, the worry in his eyes growing deeper.

"Don't worry, you can't mess with the mysterious man just by having a Gobstone shop."

Karan said, after a pause, he added: "Of course, it is even more difficult for a student who is just about to enter the second grade."

Even though he had known that this was unlikely to happen, Snape was still inexplicably relieved.

He then said nonchalantly: "There is nothing we can do about the incompetence of the Ministry of Magic. They all deliberately hide their identities, and no one knows where the mysterious man is."

This is actually the reason why Karan has a headache: the number of Death Eaters of the generation he knows is too small, and this will not have much effect at all. The real number must far exceed the names he is familiar with.

These were Karkaroff's exact words when he was interrogated.

The identity of the Death Eaters is much more secretive than Karan's.

Perhaps Dumbledore had already guessed even these names, and had been secretly competing with those people.

Snape didn't know what Karan was thinking. After hesitating for a while, he continued to whisper: "And I also heard that the mysterious man plans not to let the wizards continue to hide. He wants to break it and rule completely. Muggles and their descendants."

"It has to be said that this is a fatal attraction for many people."

"At least according to these reports, he hasn't killed any wizards yet."

Snape looked at Callan carefully, as if he wanted to probe his mind.

Of course he knew there were many loopholes in his words.The most important thing is that there is no mention of Karan’s lineage.

A Muggle-born.

He just wanted to see what Karan thought of Voldemort's other claims.

However, Callan did not contradict Snape.

He just stared at the newspaper, shook his head slightly, and murmured: "Yes."

He sighed and repeated again.

"yes."

It wasn't just the Death Eaters who were well hidden, but also Voldemort himself.

He deeply hid the cruelty and cold-bloodedness in his heart and put on a gorgeous appearance, thus attracting many followers and admirers.

He hid for a long, long time.

It starts early from the day you enroll at Hogwarts.

And he also brushed aside all the things that were not good for him.

He just used other people's jealousy as an excuse to hide it quietly.

Otherwise, he would not have returned to Hogwarts and officially applied for a job again in front of Dumbledore.

In addition, only a few people can vaguely detect this through various signs.

For example, Dumbledore.

He had already discovered this when he first admitted Voldemort to school.

In addition, there is a Black - Regulus Black.

He realized this much later than Dumbledore.

It was after he officially became a Death Eater.

Before that, he was just a simple admirer.

And what he was thinking at the time was similar to what Snape said.

It was not until near the end of the First Wizarding War that Voldemort fully exposed his true ambitions, terrifying some pure-blooded supremacists who still had a certain moral bottom line.

It was then that Sirius' parents changed their minds about Voldemort.

They too began to feel fear and became panicked.

So, at the height of the First Wizarding War, they decided to strengthen magical defenses for their residence.

Not to defend against the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic.

But unknown Death Eaters, or even Voldemort.

This is an extremely formidable enemy who knows how to hide his purpose from the beginning, just like Grindelwald.

But in Kahlan's eyes, Voldemort is much more terrifying.

Because everything he did was done quietly under Dumbledore's eyes.

And Dumbledore is the real key to the wizarding world.

It doesn’t matter if it’s in the UK or across Europe.

The only reason they failed was because of Dumbledore.

Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore, otherwise the Elder Wand would not recognize him as master.

Voldemort, at least during the First Wizarding War, was never officially defeated.

He was simply defeated by a prophecy that was only half-heard.

Lost to unpredictable fate.

Defeated at his own hands.
