I, the Dark Lord, will definitely be a good principal!

?????

As Hagrid set out the tea (if you can call rock cakes a kind of tea), Harry began to introduce them to him.

“This is Ron…”

Before he could finish speaking, Hagrid looked at Ron's red hair and freckled face and continued the conversation:

"Another Weasley lad, isn't it? I've spent almost my entire life trying to get your twin brothers out of the Forbidden Forest!"

Ron gritted his teeth inwardly.

Angell thought that Ron must be thinking at this moment that the Weasleys' reputation was ruined by Fred and George.

"Do the Weasleys still care about their reputation?"

"Uh……"

Well, the Weasleys are indeed quite different from most pure-blood families. Compared to losing face, or rather, family honor, they probably care more about whether their children have gone astray.

Just as he was thinking about these things, Harry introduced him.

"This is Angle, Hagrid. Although he is a Slytherin student, he is very good."

As if a keyword had been triggered, Hagrid immediately raised his head and looked at Angor after hearing the word "Slytherin".

Upon seeing the green on Angel's school uniform, he subconsciously frowned, but soon, as if remembering something, Hagrid's brows relaxed, and a look of nostalgia appeared on his face.

As Angell was wondering, he heard him say—

“Angol… Oh, I’ve heard that name before. Back then… I’m sorry, Mr. Dumbledore forbade me to say, but I held you in my arms when you were little. You were so tiny back then, sleeping all day long!”

Angell: "..."

What a chilling plot.

Although Hagrid's words were vague, he could roughly understand what he meant.

It must have been during the period after Voldemort's downfall, when the Malfoys were being questioned by the Ministry of Magic and the manor was thoroughly searched, that Dumbledore took Hagrid to see the child Voldemort had given to the Malfoys—that child was him.

However, at that time, he was in a state of three souls fighting over his body, and they were fighting fiercely in his mind every day, which is why he appeared to be sleeping all day long.

...Although his soul was in a somewhat unstable state until he was about five years old, he basically slept all day long.

After thinking it through, Angell felt a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

While the time traveler Xu Congwei, an unknown fraction of Voldemort, and the real baby Angor were fighting fiercely for control of his body, Dumbledore was watching from outside...

“We’re really lucky to be alive!” Angell said to Vold.

If Dumbledore had checked the state of his soul at that moment, he would have typed "gg" without knowing anything.

"Otherwise, why do you think I had to desperately suppress your soul for a period of time, allowing the real Angel to take the lead?" Vold sneered.

Angell: "?"

“If Dumbledore hadn’t been watching from outside, our consciousness would never have been affected by a child… I might have been the dominant personality.” Vold’s voice sounded slightly resentful.

"Wait... why don't I have this memory?"

"...Don't you know how chaotic our memories are before we were five? Trying to reconcile them will only mean we're both confused."

Angel pursed his lips, his expression somewhat complicated.

"Really... Maybe I was too young back then, I don't remember it now..."

Harry and Ron were both looking at Angor with surprise; things had clearly developed in a way that exceeded their expectations.

Hagrid laughed even harder: "Of course! Back then, you were so soft and tiny, just like Harry. Oh, I actually hugged both of you! Haha!"

Angell: "..."

He slowly took a deep breath and began to regret agreeing to come with Harry to visit Hagrid today.

This is really...

Vold remained silent in his mind, quietly minimizing his presence.

What if Angell suddenly replaces him at this moment...?

No, it's too scary!

However, Harry, the other protagonist in Hagrid's narrative, was clearly unable to empathize with him; upon learning of this, he actually seemed somewhat excited.

“That’s such a coincidence!” Harry said, his face flushed with excitement.

Hagrid nodded in agreement, and as Harry and Ron talked about their classes over the past few days, he seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke to Angor several times.

What he said can be summarized as follows:

“The Slytherins are all very cunning, like vipers. You must not be influenced by them. Yes, you should spend more time with Harry and Ron, just like you are now.”

as well as--

"Waaaaah, you're so pitiful, you were assigned to Slytherin!"

Angell: "..."

Regret!

This must be the biggest mistake he ever made in his life!

The last thing that gave him this feeling was standing on the stairs with Draco.

Harry and Ron had mostly accepted that Angor had been sorted into Slytherin, but now, after hearing Hagrid's words, their gazes toward Angor became worried again.

It's like that giant octopus in the Black Lake, which could break through the crystal windows of the Slytherin common room at any moment with its tentacles and rush in to devour Angor.

Under such scrutiny, Angell had no choice but to join their discussion, trying his best to steer the conversation off-topic.

Finally, through his best efforts, the topic was steered to the potions class that morning.

“Don’t worry about Harry, Professor Snape is just like that, he doesn’t like any student… He’s been just as harsh on everyone all these years!” Hagrid said.

“But he seems to really hate me!” Harry frowned, and when he said Snape hated him, the hatred on his face was actually stronger.

“Nonsense! Why would he hate you?” Hagrid avoided Harry’s gaze and, just like Angor had done before, began to change the subject, turning to Ron.

"How is your brother Charlie now? I remember him very well—he was very good with animals."

It must be said that Hagrid's skill in changing the subject still needs improvement; Angor noticed a look of suspicion on Harry's face.

Ron began to tell Hagrid about Charlie's research on dragons. Although Hagrid had asked that question on purpose, he was clearly genuinely interested in the topic.

While they were talking, Angor saw Harry take a small piece of paper out from under the teapot warmer. Harry glanced at it, and his expression became somewhat unnatural.

Angor knew what Harry had seen; it was a clipping from the Daily Prophet, a clipping he had seen a few days earlier.

—Latest report on the Gringotts trespassing incident

Angell suddenly remembered something he had overlooked.

When Voldemort was struck by the Death Curse, his soul must have entered Angor's body, where he and Angor's younger self began a battle of consciousness.

So... where did that Voldemort behind Professor Quirrell's head come from?
