Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 19 The Prophet in the Eyes of the Devil

After a decade of silence, the former Dark Lord returned to England from faraway Albania near Greece. His main goal was to restore his power.

As someone who had once led the Death Eaters and turned the British wizarding world upside down, he knew this very well.

He did have his loyal Death Eaters, but there were more villains who followed the wind, pure-blood families who wanted to use him to achieve their political goals, and dark wizards who had no shame and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob him.

Once the latter three types of people find out that they are weak, what they will receive will definitely not be timely help!

After his downfall, his former subordinates scattered like monkeys when the tree fell. Some of them were arrested, some died, some went into hiding, some defected and cleaned themselves up, and some were even undercover agents... He saw all of this.

Haha, the wizard is really good at acting.

Even Voldemort sometimes couldn't tell who was truly loyal to him and who was the next hidden trap that had not yet been triggered.

Voldemort didn't bother to tell the difference.

He only knew one thing, as long as he regained his power, everything would come back.

As long as my flag is still standing, the villains who like to curry favor with the powerful, the families with ulterior motives, the black wizards who are only interested in profit, the guys who like to be accomplices will gather around me like hyenas, turning into a huge force, waiting for me to lead them to the next battle...

hunting!

As long as you can remain strong and keep winning.

Is it important whether your subordinates are truly loyal or just greedy people pretending to be respectful?

Haha, they are all loyal ministers.

So after getting the news of the Philosopher's Stone, Voldemort began his own action.

If I succeed this time, I can save myself a lot of trouble.

But unfortunately, I missed the most promising opportunity by one wrong move.

When the vault in Gringotts was opened, it was empty and the Philosopher's Stone had been taken away long ago.

But he was still able to find traces. The Philosopher's Stone was now in Hogwarts!
Voldemort also knew that the useless wizard he possessed had long been targeted.

Severus Snape had once been his subordinate, and his abnormal behavior was almost obvious to Voldemort.

But it doesn’t matter.

People only suspected that there was something wrong with Quirrell, and even if they guessed that Quirrell was planning to take the Philosopher's Stone, it would not be a big deal.

Since they suspected Quirrell, the security measures would only be maintained at the level of guarding against the professor who was teaching Muggle Studies at Hogwarts last year but suddenly switched to Defense Against the Dark Arts this year.

Just be careful and don't reveal any clues that you are actually Voldemort.

Instead, it makes things more convenient for you.

…That’s how it should have been.

But life was full of surprises that Voldemort hated.

prophet!

Several decades later, a powerful prophet was born in the world who could make accurate predictions about the future many times!
Moreover, this prophet will enroll in Hogwarts this year and have close contact with him.

I really met Merlin!
Although he still had many Horcruxes and many chances of resurrection, who wanted to die for no reason?

In the few days after school started, he was very nervous and prepared for the worst at any time.

But in the end I found that I was just scaring myself.

Nothing happened at all.

Of course, this does not mean that I am safe. After all, when it comes to the prophet, who knows what he will do when he suddenly has an epiphany.

After feeling that nothing would go wrong in the short term, Voldemort ordered Quirrell to continue paying attention to the Philosopher's Stone, while he himself wanted to find out more about the prophet.

You don’t know until you explore. Once Voldemort explores, he actually discovers a lot of problems!
Voldemort made his judgment by observing Roger's study and spellcasting during class.

The spiritual power of this young wizard who had just entered school was actually much higher than that of many Death Eaters! It was just that his magic skills were too immature and he had learned too few spells, otherwise his spellcasting strength at this moment would be enough to make him a strong warrior.

His learning ability is also outstanding.

He seemed to have established the rudiments of his own magic cognition system, and had a high degree of control over his own mental power, so he could quickly master spells.

He is also very humble and will stop the professor after class to ask him about anything he doesn't understand. Sometimes he will even go to the professor's office to ask questions that interest him.

...According to the little prophet, most of the questions he asked were outside the textbook. Asking them in class would take up students' study time, and professors have the obligation to teach, so if there are questions, it is natural to go to them for answers.

Ask after class, just right.

Most professors welcomed Roger's questions.

On the one hand, they all have good character as teachers and do not dislike studious students. On the other hand, who doesn’t want to establish a good relationship with a prophet who may become a guiding light at a critical turning point in their life?
Shuttled between many professors and the library every day, the little prophet was like a sponge, madly absorbing the nutrients of Hogwarts.

Voldemort could feel that he was growing at an alarming rate every day, and Voldemort believed that Roger would soon be able to push his magical level to the level that his mental strength should be.

And this is by no means the end.

Remember, he is only 11 years old!
What was your ability when you were 11 years old?
He still has a long growth period ahead of him. As long as he doesn't die prematurely, when he reaches his age, the strength of this prophet...

Unimaginable!

What frightened Voldemort even more was the fact that this 'monster' that was living in Hogwarts and sucking nutrients was growing wildly right before his eyes.

As we all know, Roger is a little wizard who is always thinking about problems.

For example, in classes like the History of Magic, where the teacher is just a textbook reader and is no better than self-taught students, and where some teachers only teach content that he has already learned in advance, he will immerse himself in his own world, thinking about difficult problems that he has not yet figured out.

What is he thinking about?
Regarding this question that many people have been curious about, Voldemort's choice was to let Quirrell ask it. After all, it was a normal thing for a professor to ask a student who was not paying attention in class what he was doing, and it would not arouse suspicion.

And Roger's answer was: "Eternal life."

Roger didn't go into detail, but just said that he was researching related topics.

But his words stirred up waves in Voldemort's heart.

eternal life?

Is this something a first-year wizard at Hogwarts should be studying?!

If Roger was really researching immortality, then in Voldemort's opinion, it was a bit outrageous.

And if he was lying...

"Is this little prophet trying to make a move on me?" Voldemort, who was clinging to the back of Quirrell's head, frowned.

In modern times, who is the most famous wizard pursuing immortality?

Except for Nicolas Flamel, the creator of the Philosopher's Stone, who has lived the longest and is over 600 years old, isn't that me? !

For a moment, Voldemort was confused about what Roger meant, and he planned to explore the information more deeply.

At this moment, I happened to see Harry Potter having a little conflict with his friend... What a coincidence.

But in Harry Potter's eyes now, the person who really makes him feel something is wrong is Snape.

When he looked in Snape's direction at the opening party, he suddenly had a bad feeling, and Snape was targeting him madly for unknown reasons in Potions class.

"Haha, the vain Potter (emphasis)..." Harry sometimes dreamed of that voice.

The hatred that Snape had attracted made Harry ignore Quirrell, who was sitting next to Snape at the opening banquet.

Because Quirrell was still a trustworthy professor in Harry's eyes, he naturally did not object to telling Quirrell everything he knew about Roger.

"Roger..." Harry pondered for a moment. Although he didn't reject it, he felt that Roger was a good person. He decided to filter out other classmates' prejudices against Roger and only say good things.
