Hogwarts: I am Voldemort

There are always regrets in life.

What's even more regrettable is that we usually don't have the opportunity to make up for these regrets.

Therefore, we will have more demands on our children.

Many times, this requirement is even higher than what we require of ourselves.

But Abu is not like that. He has no regrets about his children, only dissatisfaction.

"If I had been with you at that time, I would not have let you go to the Potters' house."

Abu said loudly, "You trust him so much, give him rights and status, but when you look back, what has he done?"

Voldemort took a sip of his drink in silence. In fact, this was also a hurdle in his heart.

It's not because Lucius didn't stop him from going to the Potter's house, but because in the foreseeable future, Lucius betrayed him.

Betray once and never betray.

This sounds domineering, but interests can make all simple things complicated.

What's more, Lucius himself is not incapable.

"He's smart, Abu."

Voldemort put down the cup and whispered, "We cannot ask our children to be like ourselves. Since you, I have never seen a pure-blood wizard as perfect as you. You have too high demands on him."

"No."

Abu waved his hand decisively, "If it weren't for you, Tom, he would have done well, I guarantee that, but I'm not blaming you."

Voldemort nodded, indicating that he didn't mind.

"But your appearance has allowed the wizarding world to become different. I can't say it will definitely be better, but it certainly won't be worse. This is an opportunity, an opportunity for the wizarding world."

Abu waved his arms like a lion, and he was a passionate speaker.

"Malfoy should fight for this, fight for the wizarding world, but he is too unstable, and what he has given you is not enough."

Voldemort raised an eyebrow, but said nothing.

"I have lived in a snail's nest for many years and read many books, including books about the Muggle world. It made me understand a truth."

"Please say."

"You are not inevitable, but changes in the wizarding world are inevitable."

Voldemort's eyes lit up, obviously he felt a little better after being poked.

"There was Grindelwald before me, and you behind me. After you, won't there be others?"

Abu's voice deepened, he frowned, and asked from the bottom of his heart, "Why do the wizarding world change so frequently?"

"Why?" Voldemort asked.

"system."

Abu said decisively, "There must be something wrong with our system. The Secrecy Act, the Ministry of Magic, pure-blood families and Muggle wizards, and even our banks. The wizards have accumulated deep conflicts in the compromises step by step. ."

"I think so too." Voldemort was a little excited, but he quickly frowned, "But I can't find the reason for this change, why we retreat again and again."

"Because of the incompetence of the pure-blood family." Abu gave his answer.

"Why do you say that?"

"Before the Statute of Secrecy, when the British Ministry of Magic was first established, it was filled with pure-blood families who sent special delegations - the Malfoys were the leaders in this matter - to meet with William III and Mary II Contact us, hoping that Muggle law can recognize and protect wizards."

Abu picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a big sip, "But they failed, these incompetent ancestors."

Voldemort also picked up his cup and took a slow sip.

"If there had been you at that time, or Grindelwald, or even Dumbledore, it wouldn't have been like this."

Abu smashed the wine glass on the table and roared, "Damn it, we should have a fight with them. Even if there are wizards in those palaces, we may not lose."

"Truth only lies within range," Voldemort murmured.

"Yes, that's what you said."

Abu said, "It's a pity that at that time, there was no one of the three of you."

"Why did you add Dumbledore to us?" Voldemort put down his cup and said, "He is a good man."

"no, he is not."

Abu smiled and blinked, just like he did on the train, before speaking in a playful voice.

"He didn't dare to enter the Ministry of Magic because he hated Muggles and hated the Statute of Secrecy, which cost him his family. If he got power, he didn't know what he would do."

Voldemort habitually took out the wand he had found again, put it in his hand and started playing with it.

He suddenly discovered that many times, his thinking was too scattered.

This may be related to the fact that he is composed of two souls, which causes him to always look at problems from multiple aspects, but cannot go deep into one aspect.

This kind of problem has little impact, and it often has benefits, but once something goes wrong, it will definitely be a big problem.

"I need you, Senior Abu."

Voldemort said sincerely, "Without you, maybe I wouldn't be able to accomplish anything."

Abu sighed and shook his head and said, "I am old and I am going to die."

"Maybe I can help you..."

"More than that, Tom, I'm not aggressive anymore." Abu pointed to his legs and said, "Didn't you notice that I haven't stood up yet? They are no longer obedient."

Voldemort glanced at Abu in surprise. He didn't expect the problem to be so serious.

"Moreover, the family has been handed over to Malfoy, and I have been relegated to the second line for too long. I may have temporary ambitions, but after long-term efforts, my body and experience can no longer keep up."

There was some regret on Abu's face. Obviously, he didn't want to give up, but his physical condition decided everything.

"Also, Tom, talk to Lucius. He has more things to dig out. I can't say too specific, because as a member of the Malfoy family, I must respect the one who calls the shots."

Voldemort nodded. Although Abu said he couldn't say it, his words already revealed the answer.

Lucius also hides a secret that is extremely helpful to him.

"I still want to try to see if I can help you, Abu. You know, I'm good at curses."

Voldemort said, showing a smile and said, "You must know that to this day, Hogwarts still maintains the habit of replacing the Dark Arts Defense Professor every year."

His words finally made Abu a little more interested.

"What curse did you use back then?" Voldemort asked him.

"Dragon blood curse, and it's an adult dragon." Abu said.

Voldemort suddenly realized that there was no wonder there was a pair of golden objects next to him.

"Why choose adult dragons?" Voldemort wondered, "You know their magic is very powerful, and it will be very troublesome if there is a backlash."

"And usually a baby dragon is enough."

A bitter smile appeared on Abu's face: "If you let me choose now, I will definitely do what you say, but Tom, I was too arrogant at the time."

Voldemort was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile.

He felt deeply what Abu said.

If he could go back in time, would he still go to the Potters?

Absolutely not, there's absolutely no need for that.

In fact, the behavior of killing people in the wizarding world back then seems silly now.

But time never goes back, and life is full of regrets.

All we can do is to move forward step by step.
