Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 376
Foley Village, Hampshire.

As night falls, the moonlight shines on the river meandering in the village, emitting a silver light.

Not far up the river, you can see a brightly lit castle.

A grand banquet is being held in the castle, and dozens of wizards are chatting in the courtyard.

But there are only women or half-grown children here, and their companions are all gathered in the hall of the old castle, waiting for the most distinguished guest tonight.

"Mr. Foley, are you sure that the Lord Dark Lord Apparated here directly, there is no problem, right?" Malfoy asked, looking directly opposite, Mr. Foley, the owner of the castle.

"No problem, Mr. Malfoy, the Anti-Apparition Charm has been removed, and the Lord Dark Lord has been here before, so he can Apparate for sure," Mr Foley replied.

Malfoy nodded and stopped talking, but glanced at everyone at the long table.

There are more than 20 people here, chatting in small groups.

Some were loud, and those were mostly Death Eater families.

They talked proudly and regarded this place as their home field.

There are also some people who are worried, such as the Avery family and the Burke family.

Due to their own reasons, they all had some conflicts with Voldemort, so they got together to discuss how to deal with it.

The rest are a group of people represented by the welfare family.

They looked more thoughtful, considering their options for a while.

None of these people's families joined the Death Eaters, and this time, they will face a choice again.

His eyes rested on each of them for a moment, and Malfoy had roughly read what they were thinking.

Such as the Avery family and the Selwyn family, there used to be Death Eaters among their clansmen, but now they want to quit in order to protect themselves wisely.

Another example is the Fuli family, the Aibo family, etc. Families that have no family members who have ever joined the Death Eaters still have not made a clear decision.

As for the Rozier family and the Roll family, they are members of the die-hard Death Eaters, and they will not change their beliefs.

And among the more than 20 people, they are the most numerous.

Malfoy made a hasty calculation, including the Malfoy family, there are a total of nine devout supporters of Voldemort here.

You must know that there are only 28 pure-blood families in England, which is not a small number.

What's more, Voldemort hasn't come yet, and some people haven't made their final choices yet.

"In any case, this is an enrollment expansion conference for sure."

Malfoy thought so, looking at Ollivander.

He represented the Ollivander family, and according to his father, Abu, Voldemort guessed that this person was a spy.

But now it seems that there is nothing special about Ollivander.

He discussed something with the patriarch of the Fuli family and others, as if he was really thinking about whether to join or watch, which is the better choice.

"call."

The fire suddenly flashed, and a phoenix burning Fiendflame appeared in the hall.

"what is that?"

The patriarch of the Flint family pointed at the Phoenix hovering above everyone's heads and asked.

"My God, it's Phoenix."

"It's not Dumbledore's one, I recognize it."

"He's burning black flames, damn it, is that Fiendfire?"

The patriarchs of the families who had never seen Phoenix roared in surprise.

"Hoohoo~~"

Fenix ​​spread his wings and struggled to fly, and when he passed the torches on the wall, the churning wind would blow them out.

Not long after, the lights in the hall were only left on the table, which made the whole hall much darker.

"Clap clap."

The sound of the cane hitting the floor sounded, and everyone looked away from Phoenix and looked in the direction of the sound.

It was the end of the long table, and a person was already sitting there.

"You... are you the Lord Dark Lord?" the Patriarch of the Foley Family asked in a trembling voice.

"Before I answer your question, you first answer my question."

Voldemort's unkind voice sounded in the room, and Phoenix hovered and landed on his shoulders, "Who suggested not to meet me at Malfoy Manor? Do these people who proposed have the courage to stand up?"

All the family patriarchs looked at each other in blank dismay, no one expected that the moment the Dark Demon King appeared, he would be held accountable.

"Master, the opposing family..."

Bella, representing the Lestrange family, stood up and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Voldemort in the middle of speaking.

"I don't intend for you to name them, Bella. If they dare not stand up, it only means that their family is a villain who only dares to criticize behind their backs." Voldemort said disdainfully.

"Lord Dark Lord, we respect you, and it is us purebloods who want to meet in the Fuli family..."

"Clap clap."

Voldemort knocked his cane twice, interrupting the speech of the excited Shafiq family patriarch.

"You can only represent yourself, not all pure-blood families, Mr. Shafik, although I am dissatisfied with you changing the meeting place, but at least you have not shamed your family."

Voldemort slowly took off his hood as he spoke.

At this moment, everyone could clearly see his face in his 20s.

This caused some people to take a long breath.

"Is there anyone else who dares to stand up?" Voldemort asked, scanning the crowd.

Several figures stood up slowly, most of them were families without Death Eaters at home.

The only thing that surprised him was that the representatives of the Avery family and the Selwyn family also stood up.

"Mr. Avery, you made a choice that surprised me."

After Voldemort finished speaking, he looked at the patriarch of the Foley family again, "Your choice also surprised me."

"The Foley family is used to remaining neutral, Lord Dark Lord, but just like you came here many years ago, we would also like to know more about you so that we can make a final decision." Mr. Foley said with a smile.

Voldemort nodded and waved his hand for everyone to sit down.

"Those who still firmly support me stand up and let me see who they are." Voldemort said.

"Uh, uh, uh."

More than a dozen figures stood up, including the Weasley family who had no Death Eaters at home, represented by Percy.

There is also the Parkinson family. Their family does not have a real Death Eater so far, but they are really close to themselves.

In addition, Neville, the representative of the Longbottom family, also stood up firmly.

"Twelve, all right, everyone sit down."

Voldemort waved his hand again, motioning for everyone to sit down and talk.

Everyone sat down proudly. Except for Neville and Percy, the other representatives looked proudly at the person who hadn't stood up just now.

Clearly, they took pride in who they were, which was a good sign from Voldemort's point of view.

"I hope that more pure blood can unite, I think this, I have shown enough sincerity and clarity.

"So, everyone present, what is the reason why you don't choose me?"

While asking, Voldemort sized up everyone, paying attention to the subtle changes in their expressions.

　Suddenly, a friend who couldn't shirk invited me to dinner. I can only make two changes today, sorry.
