Hogwarts: I am Voldemort

"You shouldn't have promised him, Dark Lord."

After separating from Crocker, Old Knott immediately said, "I heard those silent people are crazy."

Voldemort smiled at him and said nothing.

In fact, Voldemort himself was curious about the Department of Mysteries.

Even if the other party doesn't invite him, he will definitely come and take a look when he comes back in the future.

"I'm going back."

Crouch had no intention of getting involved in Voldemort's affairs and was ready to leave directly.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Crouch."

Voldemort stopped him and called Percy over, "This is Percy Weasley, my disciple, the top student at Hogwarts."

"I've heard about him." Crouch glanced at Percy, then looked at Voldemort and said, "What's the matter?"

"I hope you can help him arrange a job in the Ministry of Magic, preferably one with a clear attitude, so that he can help you get to that position." Voldemort said with a smile.

Crouch glanced at the excited Percy with confusion. He didn't think this child could give him any help.

"Be my secretary first..."

"No." Voldemort interrupted him and said, "I think he needs to have a definite position."

Crouch looked at Voldemort, frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "You already have an idea, don't you?"

"Yes, Mr. Crouch."

Voldemort smiled and said, "How about the Department of Magical Games and Sports, the British and Irish Quidditch League Headquarters? I think Percy's strengths can be used there."

"Quidditch Headquarters?"

Crouch's voice was a little surprised. He glanced at Abu and others not far away, pulled Voldemort and Percy aside and said, "Do you want to do something in Quidditch next year? "

His voice was small, but he sounded excited.

"Of course, I already have a perfect plan for this." Voldemort said with a smile and nodded.

"What's the plan?" Crouch asked.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that will be the stage for my return speech."

Voldemort's words made both Crouch and Percy widen their eyes in surprise.

"Are you ready?" Crouch asked in surprise.

"You shouldn't ask me this, Crouch, but I should ask you." Voldemort said with a smile.

Crouch frowned, he understood what Voldemort meant.

But the news came too suddenly, and he needed to think about it carefully.

"Teacher, are you really ready to tell the whole world at that time..." Percy asked with his eyes widened.

"Of course, there is no better occasion than that, Percy, but before that, I need to complete all the resurrection rituals, so it is only tentative." Voldemort rubbed his head and said.

"In other words, you may not announce it at that time, right?" Crouch raised his head and asked.

Voldemort nodded. He knew that this would cause more trouble for Crouch, but he was not sure that the resurrection would be successful this year. There were still many things that needed to be resolved.

The most important thing is that due to his greed, currently, the decision-making power on this matter is no longer with him.

"According to our previous plan, I want to show a more proactive attitude than Fudge before you are resurrected, but if you are not sure, my time will not be easy to control, you know..."

"I know."

Voldemort interrupted. He felt that Crouch was too nervous.

"Actually, you can look at it from another angle. Even if I don't come back on time, it's not a big deal if you offend Fudge and be expelled from the Ministry of Magic because of your strong attitude."

Crouch looked at Voldemort in confusion and motioned for him to continue.

"Dumbledore has already begun to spread the news of my return. Currently, it is only officially denied and suppressed."

Voldemort thought thoughtfully and said, "At this time, if you step out to play against Fudge, you will indeed be suppressed by him, and you may even lose your only position because of it."

"But this is a good thing, because the more determined you are at this time, the more everyone will trust you in the future, and the more support you will receive then."

Crouch frowned in thought, nodded slowly, but then looked at Voldemort and said: "What if Dumbledore is involved, I mean, what if he also wants to run?"

"He will not participate in the election." Voldemort said firmly, "because I need him to be my foil for my comeback."

"What do you mean?" Crouch asked confused.

"I need to defeat him, Crouch." Voldemort spread his hands.

Crouch and Percy both widened their eyes in surprise and looked at Voldemort with disbelief.

Voldemort shrugged, not caring about their gazes, but continued: "If I don't do that, people will still be afraid of me, but they won't respect me."

“I need to regain my dignity and use that principal as a stepping stone.”

He said it loudly, but the two people in front of him still didn't recover from their sluggishness.

"Are you sure you can do it?" Crouch asked after a long time.

Voldemort was not angry at the other party's doubts, he just nodded calmly.

"Then I will take action immediately. No matter what Fudge does to me, I will stand firmly against him and you." Crouch gritted his teeth and said.

Voldemort nodded and gave Crouch a "just do it" look.

"You asked me to arrange for Percy to enter the Quidditch headquarters so that he can win the meritorious service at your comeback ceremony, right?" Crouch glanced at Percy and asked Voldemort.

"certainly."

Voldemort looked at Percy with a smile, rubbed his head and said, "There is nothing more shocking than when everyone is panicking about the Dark Lord's return. He needs to appease the wizards and stand up to fight me."

"Use your comeback ceremony to pave the way for your disciples?"

Crouch glanced at Percy again, his eyes were quite complex, and there was even a hint of envy in his eyes.

"Not for him, Crouch, but for the future of the Ministry."

Voldemort stopped smiling and his eyes became deeper, "Percy is a person who is strict with himself and acts cautiously like you. It is a loss for the Ministry of Magic that people like him and you cannot be reused. We are only doing our best for the wizarding world." Stop losses in time.”

Everyone likes to hear good words, especially when the Dark Lord says it so solemnly.

Crouch suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded: "Don't worry, Dark Lord, I will definitely arrange a good position for Percy. He will be the one who performs best in your comeback ceremony."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Crouch, but he is still too young. He can just get some political capital. The most shining one is still up to you, because you can go directly to that position." Voldemort smiled and looked at Crouch. Rauch said.

Crouch nodded, but then he became serious and looked at Voldemort: "After that, although I will cooperate with you to do what I promised you, but if you harm the wizarding world..."

"I have no intention of doing that, Crouch, you can rest assured of that."

Voldemort seriously interrupted the other party's words, paused briefly and then spoke again, "But I will bring about changes in the wizarding world. This is certain. If you want to stop me at that time, I can only say..."

"Let magic decide."

Crouch took a deep look at Voldemort, nodded and said nothing.
