Hogwarts: I am Voldemort

"At least, the Malfoy family agrees with this guess." Lucius said.

Voldemort nodded, he also thought this was very possible.

"But for such a person, even if Qingshi has never left a name, there should still be a legend about him."

Voldemort's doubts received a positive response from Lucius.

"The Malfoy family has been committed to searching for relevant legends, and has especially launched an extremely detailed investigation into the first Minister of Magic, Ulric Gamp, because we speculate that if that person exists, he is likely to be related to that person."

Lucius's words made Voldemort's eyes light up, and he nodded in approval.

The [International Statute of Secrecy] appeared in 1689, and this time was when Ulric Gamp was the chief magician of the Wizengamot.

At that point in time, he had the highest influence among wizards in the world.

Starting the investigation from his side is obviously the right choice.

"What was the result?" Voldemort asked.

"We have found nothing in the history of magic or his autobiography, but there is a strange record in a miscellaneous book."

Lucius's words aroused Voldemort's interest, and he sat up straight and listened carefully.

"It was an autobiographical book called [Born for Love]. It recorded that a wizard put in all his efforts and even his life for his love. Well... it was a casual book read by my great-grandmother."

Lucius was a little embarrassed, and Voldemort scratched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment.

The title of this book is full of flaws.

“The author of this book, Elf Matthews—whose name we cannot find in any family tree—for a great-granddaughter of Ulric Gamp,…”

Voldemort, who had just pressed his back against the back of the chair, sat up as if there were springs in his back.

"Wait a minute." He stopped Lucius and asked, "What do you think the author's name is?"

"Elver Matthews, what's wrong?" Lucius asked in surprise.

"Is that woman, the great-granddaughter of Ulric Gamp, called Alice Gamp?" Voldemort asked him.

Lucius was stunned for a moment, then nodded crazily: "Dark Lord, do you know the true identity of Elf Matthews?"

"This is not his real name. He belongs to a family of short stature. Do you know this family?"

Voldemort touched his chin and said, "Among those who had a good relationship with the Gamp family at that time, was there such a family?"

Lucius showed a thoughtful expression, and countless memories flashed rapidly in his mind.

"Yes." He stopped thinking and looked at Voldemort with piercing eyes, "The Alves family of Portugal."

Voldemort raised his eyebrows, and relevant information about this family flashed in his memory.

Portugal's pure-blood family, also known as the dwarf family, or the dwarf family.

Although their people are short in stature, they have good magic talents and are kind-hearted, so they are quite respected in Portugal.

This information was found in the Hogwarts library when he was looking for the ruthless Matthews family.

There were no clues pointing to this family at the time, but now it seems certain.

"Every head of the Alvis family has a place in the Wizengamot. It seems that it should be them." Lucius said.

Voldemort nodded and asked, "What did he write in that book that you found interesting?"

"He said that during his communication with Alice, she once told him that his great-grandfather, Ulric Gamp, once saw a black python reaching into the sky when he was a child."

Lucius raised his arms high, opened his hands, and said, "According to the records there, the python was wrapped in mist. After appearing suddenly, it quickly disappeared."

Voldemort thought about the image, but it was completely absent from his memory.

"Urik Gamp once told his family about his experience, but no one believed it. Alice asked Yurik Gamp in his later years to confirm this, and the answer he got was no."

"Negative?" Voldemort asked in surprise.

If he didn't recognize this memory himself, how did Alice know?

"Alice first heard it from her grandfather, and his grandfather heard it from her great-grandfather's mother, which means..."

Lucius paused deliberately to allow Voldemort to clarify the relationship between them, "Uric Gamp himself no longer has this memory, but her mother still remembers it, which just corresponds to our guess. ."

"That man erased everything about him, right?" Voldemort said thoughtfully, "but he forgot this little detail."

"It can't be perfect. As long as you do it, it will leave traces." Lucius said firmly.

Voldemort nodded. If you look at it this way, this person "who does not exist in history" may really exist.

"Any other discoveries?" Voldemort asked again.

Lucius had a disappointed look on his face, and he shook his head, signaling that there was only so much.

"Perhaps I should ask Master Flamel. He has lived long enough and may know more." Voldemort said thoughtfully.

Lucius's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly.

Their family also tried to communicate with Master Flamel, but unfortunately the master was too closed off and they were unable to establish contact with him.

"Is this all you want to tell me?" Voldemort asked.

Although this was a big secret in the wizarding world, in Voldemort's view, Lucius didn't need to be so cautious at all.

"No, I'm just telling you about that unique history, which led to the break between the pure-blood family and the royal family."

Lucius quickly pulled his thoughts out of the story and said, "The Malfoy family, like most families at that time, chose to abide by the [International Statute of Secrecy]."

Voldemort nodded, and he thought of the "person who does not exist in history" again.

How did he make a group of pure-blood families accept this result and finally hide himself?

"But just like the portrait of Ulric Gamp hanging in the Prime Minister's Office in No. 10 Downing Street, sometimes we need to connect with Muggles."

Lucius's voice suddenly became a little deeper, and there was a hint of... guilt in his words.

Voldemort raised his head curiously, knowing that the next words were the key point.

"So later on, the Malfoy family established ties with the royal family."

After Lucius finished speaking, he pursed his lips and looked at Voldemort, with a helpless and embarrassed expression on his face.

"So, you violated the [International Statute of Secrecy]." Voldemort asked with a smile.

"not only that."

Lucius' helplessness turned into a wry smile, "In fact, the Malfoy family is still a court wizard, and all the family heads have been."

This time, Voldemort was truly surprised.

"How long have you been cutting ties with the royal family during this period?" Voldemort asked.

"Because this kind of behavior can only be passed down by word of mouth, it is difficult for me to know what the ancestors did specifically."

Lucius thought for a moment and then said, "But according to our Malfoy code of conduct... severing diplomatic relations should be completely non-existent."

Voldemort couldn't help but slap himself on the forehead.

Good guys, you really put your feet in two boats to the extreme.
