Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort

The Dark Lord is coming back soon!

During this time, rumors spread throughout Britain like the virus of the Black Death.

At first, it was only circulated among the betrayed Death Eaters. These people were worried about being liquidated by the Dark Lord. There was a lot of noise all day long. When the Mark of the Dark Lord began to change, fear immediately swallowed them up like a whale in the sea. .

Later, with Malfoy's encouragement, the authenticity of this rumor was raised to a higher level.

Lucius has held several meetings during this time, constantly meeting with those pure-blood wizards who broke off relations with the mysterious man after his fall, and spreading rumors about the mysterious man. He did this naturally because he wanted to leave a good impression in front of the Dark Lord.

Look, even though I, Lucius Malfoy, have failed more than I have accomplished, and am a loser who can act on both sides of the wind, I will return to you as soon as you come back, master, which shows my loyalty!

Although this behavior was in line with Voldemort's wishes, he deliberately activated the Dark Mark and made the pattern burn like a soldering iron on the Death Eaters' bodies. Wasn't this just to give enough confidence to his subordinates who were still waiting for his return? ? Isn't it just to bring fear to those who betray him?

It can be said that what Lucius did did suit Voldemort's heart, but the only problem was that he went a little too far.

Now, this rumor has not only spread among Death Eaters, but has also reached the ears of many British wizards, almost turning into something like a prophecy.

However, this is not without its benefits. The seeds of fear have been sown. Once Voldemort is resurrected as planned, the fear he brings to the wizards in the British wizarding world will immediately reach its peak, even more than before!

The only trouble is that Voldemort is worried that the British Ministry of Magic will prepare for war in advance because of such a "prophecy". If this is the case, then his steps to conquer Britain will have some twists and turns.

Fortunately, British wizards have a good Minister of Magic!

Cornelius Fudge.

He is the person in the world who can't listen to those "alarmist" rumors the most. Under his "wise" decision, he has not made any preparation for any crisis that may arise. He firmly believes that those rumors are nothing but alarmism, and are people with ulterior motives who want to achieve ulterior goals through this method!

He not only prohibited officials from the Ministry of Magic from talking about this matter, but also prohibited the Daily Prophet from making any related reports, and wholeheartedly showed a peaceful appearance to the British wizards.

"I really want to praise him properly!" Voldemort, who had already crossed the sea to the European continent, held the pendant in one hand and looked at the information sent by Barty Jr. with the other hand, feeling happier than ever before.

Look, this is what a smart and capable servant should do for him. Thinking about Peter Pettigrew and Voldemort is a little angry. He lost his body twelve years ago, and he lost Harry not long ago. Even if that kind of trash died ten thousand times, Voldemort would not feel sorry.

Fortunately, there is little Barty.

Of course, there are actually several such shrewd and capable servants of Voldemort, but they are all locked up in Azkaban at the moment.

Among others, Lucius, whom he was originally optimistic about, has now become untrustworthy. Regulus betrayed him directly. As for Snape——

Voldemort never dreamed that it was Dumbledore who vouched for him.

"He has indeed gained Dumbledore's trust, but is he still loyal to me?"

This question may be difficult to answer.

Voldemort put the pendant away. He had no intention of taking it with him. At this moment, the old Barty's body under his control was just a consumable that could be consumed at any time. In case of a crisis, this body can be discarded, but the Horcrux he finally got back cannot be lost like this.

But he was also thinking,

"The speed at which Cyrus's magic power increases seems a bit too alarming."

From the first contact under Gringotts to the helpless relationship between the two people when they arrived at the Knowledge Pavilion, plus the destroyed ring, Voldemort guessed that Cyrus might have enhanced his power by devouring soul fragments. .

Is there any difference in power between a missing soul and a complete soul?

Voldemort himself didn't know this.

He had been making Horcruxes since he was in school, and at that time he was far from reaching the peak of his magic power. Thinking about it this way, will splitting the Horcrux hinder his progress?

Maybe I could have become stronger? !

His snake-like eyes were flickering, but in the end he still did not make up his mind to swallow the soul in the pendant again.

"As long as I obtain ancient magic, my power will naturally rise to another level. An immortal body is more important to me!"

It is not to blame that Voldemort is greedy for life and fear of death, but it is actually the last time Cyrus teamed up with Dumbledore that cast a great shadow on him. Even though he had replenished his soul, he was not sure that he would be able to fight Cyrus and Dumbledore at the same time. In this case, a life-saving method was extremely important.

Moreover, even if he wanted to reintegrate his soul and was unable to do so, how could Voldemort truly feel remorse for the lives he had killed?

He collected his thoughts and stepped into Durmstrang, a magic school hidden in Northern Europe.

At this moment, Durmstrang's principal is still Igor Karkaroff.

This is a tall and thin wizard with short white hair and a goatee with curls at the end on his thin chin. Voldemort was naturally very familiar with his smooth servant, especially since he betrayed his "friend" and escaped from prison, which made Voldemort hate him deeply.

This kind of person will be the first to be sacrificed for blood after he is resurrected!

"Haha, Crouch! Old friend!" As soon as Karkaroff saw old Barty, he immediately showed a warm smile. There was no trace of any grudge after being tried by Crouch.

But his eyes were cold and full of worry.

"We can't be friends." Voldemort imitated Crouch's rigid and indifferent look, saying contemptuously and stiffly, "I'm here for the Triwizard Tournament."

"Ah, you said this..."

Karkaroff uncomfortably adjusted the thick felt hat on his head and said with a slight hesitation, "Are you going to compete at Hogwarts?"

"In order, this time it's Hogwarts."

"Then you'd better talk to Ms. Rozier. To be honest, I'm ready to resign." Karkaroff didn't seem very interested and was very resistant to going to the UK.

It would not work to refuse the Triwizard Tournament directly. Although he is the principal, the affairs in the school cannot be decided by him alone. Most of the school directors are important officials from the Ministry of Magic, and they take this kind of cross-international competition very seriously.

Who doesn't want to overwhelm Hogwarts, or rather, Dumbledore?

But Karkaroff really wasn't in this mood. The dark mark on his arm kept getting hot. Especially after seeing "Crouch", the feeling became more intense. It was as if someone was holding a red-hot weapon. It's like molten iron is poured on it.
