Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Mr. Lockhart has gained my complete confidence," said Dumbledore. "He has performed well during his tenure at our school, demonstrating his powerful magical abilities and profound knowledge."

"I'm willing to vouch for him. Mr. Lockhart is certainly not a Death Eater." Dumbledore said, stamping the matter.

"Well, since Dumbledore said so..." Moody glanced at Gilderoy Lockhart again with his magic eyes, "Then I also choose to believe him."

"So what the hell is going on here?" Cornelius Fudge interrupted. "Why is Voldemort at Hogwarts?"

"I think this point may require Mr. Lockhart to explain to us." Dumbledore picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, then leaned on the backrest, his eyes full of "Please start your performance" expression .

"Yes, please allow me to explain." Tierra said, "It all starts with a child named Tierra."

"Oh?" Dumbledore straightened up, "What does this have to do with our little Tierra?"

"I felt it on the first day I came to Hogwarts. There is a powerful force of black magic lingering here." Tierra cleared her throat and said, "I think Mr. Principal should have noticed it too."

"There are too many dark magic powers entrenched in Hogwarts. I don't know which one you are talking about?" Dumbledore asked, "Please be more specific."

"The one on Tierra's body." Tierra said, "I will not show the specific process, but after making bold assumptions and careful evidence collection, I finally determined the source of that black magic power—— "

"This black magic power comes from Tierra." Tierra said.

"Oh, okay, please go ahead and tell me in detail what kind of black magic power it is." Dumbledore peeled off a cockroach candy and put it in his mouth.

"Ravenclaw's diadem," said Tierra, then reached for a teacup on Dumbledore's table—

"Please put down that teacup, Mr. Lockhart." Dumbledore said suddenly, "It was Nicolas May's one hundredth birthday present to me."

"Oh, well..." Tierra retracted her hands in embarrassment, and then picked up a piece of paper on Dumbledore's desk—

The thin paper twisted and deformed in Tierra's hands, turning into a silver crown inlaid with sky blue gems.

"Everyone knows that I am a student from Ravenclaw College, so I recognized this relic of the founder of the college at a glance." Tierra said.

"And now what about this relic?" asked Cornelius Fudge.

"Destroyed," Tierra said. "That's exactly what I'm talking about. Ravenclaw's diadem was cast by Voldemort with a... I think Horcrux magic."

"Wait a minute—" Dumbledore called suddenly, nearly knocking over his teacup.

"Well... I'm a little tired, and I believe everyone in the Ministry of Magic must have their own things to do—" Dumbledore said, "Mr. Lockhart, please summarize briefly, and then let us go Well, anyway, Voldemort has been driven away, I don't think our energy should be wasted on such things."

"As we all know, our little wizard Tierra is an orphan." Tierra told the story she made up, "How many of you know that Tierra was born in the same orphanage as Voldemort? "

"What do you mean?" Dumbledore asked suddenly.

"Yes, Voldemort hid Ravenclaw's diadem in the orphanage where he used to stay." Tierra said, "Then this diadem was accidentally discovered by our little wizard Tierra."

"Ravenclaw's diadem has been defiled by Voldemort's extremely evil black magic. For Muggles, it is just a more beautiful diadem, but for wizards, it has a deadly allure, and right here hour--"

"A little wizard who hasn't entered school yet——Tiera found this crown, and was quickly attracted by this strange crown, and took it away when she left the orphanage—"

"There is no doubt about what happened afterwards. Faced with Voldemort's whispers and temptations that even adult wizards could not resist, Tierra, a young wizard who has not yet entered school, also fell under Voldemort's black magic curse and became a child controlled by Voldemort. puppet."

"On the way Tierra was entering Hogwarts, Voldemort used Tierra's identity as a child to steal the Sorcerer's Stone from Hogwarts gamekeeper Hagrid's coat pocket—" Tierra looked at Dumbledore, then said, "I suppose you must have noticed this too?"

"Well... yes, yes." Dumbledore stroked his beard and said with some surprise.

"Wait, let me interrupt." Cornelius Fudge interrupted suddenly, "You mean, the Sorcerer's Stone was stolen? The one that Dumbledore said was destroyed last year..."

"It's fake." Dumbledore pushed his glasses and said, "But the Sorcerer's Stone is so realistic that it is almost fake - if I hadn't seen the real Sorcerer's Stone at Nicolas May , I will most likely be deceived.”

"So Voldemort is behind all this?" asked Dumbledore.

"Yes." Tierra continued, "Please allow me to explain Voldemort's plan. After controlling Tierra, Voldemort originally wanted to use this little wizard who did not enroll in Hogwarts to bury a dark thread in Hogwarts, but he failed. Thinking that Tierra happened to meet Hagrid who was transporting the Sorcerer's Stone on the way to school, so Voldemort took advantage of the plan and planted a plague curse on Tierra, and then controlled Tierra to send him to Hagrid. The Philosopher's Stone was exchanged on the way to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds."

"After all..." Tierra said with a smile, "No way, no way, no one really thinks that a little wizard who hasn't entered school is capable of casting such a vicious curse on himself, and then stole the Sorcerer's Stone by himself Bar?"

"Where's the fake Philosopher's Stone?" asked Cornelius Fudge.

"I ruined it," said Dumbledore, "but it's no ordinary fake Philosopher's Stone, is it?"

"Yes." Tierra said, "It's a semi-finished product that Voldemort failed to refine."

"No wonder... no wonder I almost couldn't tell..." said Dumbledore.

"Sorry to interrupt again, but what about the real Philosopher's Stone?" Cornelius Fudge asked.

"It's also ruined." Tierra said, "This involves Voldemort's next plan."

"Last year, it appeared that Professor Quirrell was parasitized by Voldemort to steal the Sorcerer's Stone hidden in Hogwarts, but in fact it was just a smoke bomb released by Voldemort. In fact, Voldemort had controlled Tierra to secretly start brewing the elixir of life—”

With that said, Tierra looked at Snape again——

"I think Tiera's level of Potions must be much higher than that of young wizards of the same age, right? Professor Snape." Tiera asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Snape thought for a moment with a gloomy face, then nodded.

"That's right," said Tierra. "It was actually Voldemort who was training Tierra's Potions skills until the end of the term, when Voldemort thought Tierra's Potions skills were good enough to brew the potion of immortality." Afterwards, Voldemort asked Quirrell to steal the fake Sorcerer's Stone to create a riot, and then asked Tierra to go to Quirrell's office to take away the raw materials of the elixir that Professor Quirrell had purchased in advance. It is easy for a little wizard in the first grade to be suspicious if he rashly buys the raw materials of the elixir of life, right? In this way, with Professor Quirrell covering in front of the stage, Voldemort can make Tierra, a little wizard who is not valued at all In the process of unknowingly refining the elixir of life, let yourself be resurrected quietly."

"It's too evil!" Cornelius Fudge said pitifully, "to take advantage of children."

Several other Ministry of Magic officials nodded in agreement.

After seeing that her whitewashing plan was effective, Tierra smiled complacently.

"A very clever plan." Dumbledore said, "But according to what you said, Voldemort should have completed his resurrection last summer. What does that have to do with you?"

"But is there a way for the elixir of life to really revive Voldemort? You have to try it to know, right?" Tierra smiled mysteriously, "It was only after Voldemort tried it that he realized that the elixir of life can only keep him alive. A power that is a little stronger than near-death cannot fully revive him, so he can only continue to lurk, relying on Tierra, the front puppet, to continue to make trouble."
