Hogwarts: I, Tom, am really not Voldemort!

"Tom, about what just happened, don't you have anything to explain to me?"

Dumbledore, holding the Elder Wand, looked at Tom coldly, his remaining rationality making him decide to try a polite approach first.

"Just now? Ah, you mean Umbridge? Don't you like it? I saved someone's life."

Dumbledore didn't speak, just stared intently at Tom, wanting to see how he would continue his performance.

"Don't you know? A few days ago, Madam Umbridge inadvertently offended Professor Grindelwald, and the professor specifically demanded that she disappear completely from this world."

"And then?"

"Then, after hearing this, I thought it wouldn't do. After all, it's a life. Umbridge can still be saved. So I used the greatest magic in the world—'love'—to influence her, to make her realize her mistakes and return to the right path."

"Love?"

"Of course! This is all thanks to your tireless teaching, Professor Dumbledore. After all, you said that 'love' can encompass everything and save everything. Didn't you feel Madam Umbridge's 'love' for you just now, Professor? It was so strong, so passionate, that it almost brought tears of emotion to my eyes."

Grindelwald, standing aside, stared dumbfounded at Tom's serious nonsense. How could this kid be so absurd? He almost has seven-tenths of my silver tongue.

"Heh heh, so, your so-called Umbridge's 'love' is aimed at me, this 'new master of the Death Eaters'?"

Dumbledore was so angered by Tom's remarks that he laughed. Although he had always advocated the theory of 'love', was this how it should be used?

However, Tom seemed not to understand the atmosphere and continued to speak.

"Professor, you just admitted that you are the new master of the Death Eaters."

Did I admit it? Can you understand human language? The tip of Dumbledore's Elder Wand immediately lit up, but Tom's next sentence interrupted the spellcasting.

"However, Professor, I want to correct you on one point. You are now not only the new master of the Death Eaters, but also the master of the Order of the Phoenix and the Sacred Twenty-Eight. If you need, I can reveal the evidence to the world."

"Ah?"

Dumbledore's hand casting the spell suddenly froze, and his voice trembled unnaturally: "What evidence?"

Tom handed a roll of parchment to Grindelwald, who was watching the show.

Grindelwald took the parchment from Tom and began to examine it carefully, marveling more and more as he read.

"Why doesn't Albus have any shares as the person in charge?"

After finishing reading and handing it to Dumbledore, Grindelwald asked the question in his mind.

"That's because the shares belonging to Professor Dumbledore were all given to you. After all, Professor, you tend to go bad when you have money, so it's more reassuring to have your lover hold them on your behalf. If the professor needs anything, he can just ask you for pocket money."

Hearing Tom's answer, Grindelwald couldn't help but give Tom a thumbs up. Sensible, too sensible.

Dumbledore had now finished reading the parchment in his hand and heard Tom and Grindelwald's conversation, and he was not well at all.

When did this thing come out?

What surprised Dumbledore even more was that many first-generation Order of the Phoenix members and their descendants had also participated.

Potter, Longbottom, Black, Prewett, Bones... which one is not a familiar surname to him? Do these people know that they and the Death Eaters and the Sacred Twenty-Eight are together? This must be a trick, right?

He even saw Lupin, Weasley... what is this? Do they have money to invest? To pull in people, someone is simply unscrupulous.

But the most excessive thing is that he is the person in charge, but the shares are 0. Isn't this just a perfect scapegoat, and the one holding the most shares is this little bastard in front of him.

"Professor, it has already been filed with the Ministry of Magic, everything is reasonable and compliant, rest assured."

Rest assured my ass, but why does this sound so familiar, it's like...

"Could it be that the 'Ariana Dumbledore Charitable Foundation' is also...?"

"Of course, Professor, but what's done is done, there's no room for regret ~"

Faced with Tom's face, Dumbledore couldn't bear it this time.

"TOM RIDDLE!!!"

That night, the brilliance of magic bloomed again over Hogwarts.

The huge commotion attracted the collective teachers and students of Hogwarts to watch.

Snacks, soda, small benches, the students admired the fireworks released by the two who had already fought into the Forbidden Forest through the windows, while applauding and cheering, while enthusiastically discussing.

"One side of the battle should be Headmaster Dumbledore, who is the other side?"

"Who knows, but fighting to this extent, the other party must have deep emotional or interest disputes with Headmaster Dumbledore."

"No, no, I think it should be the execution of Death Eater traitors. The scene of the boss chasing the younger brother in the book is like this."

"Death Eaters?"

"Did you forget? The new boss of the Death Eaters is Professor Dumbledore, the Daily Prophet has reported it."

"Do you think it is possible that Voldemort has come back and is preparing to take back the position of the Death Eater boss from Headmaster Dumbledore?"

"How is that possible, your imagination is too rich."

As for curfew, violating school rules, deducting points, what are those things, the little animals are selectively amnesiac.

As for the professors, they saw more things.

Dumbledore is very strong, very powerful, they all know this.

But now the person fighting with Dumbledore can actually be evenly matched with him, which makes people have to think deeply, after all, the magical world can count the people with this kind of strength with one hand.

The magical attainments shown by the two people now are really shocking. The level of dark magic shown by the person fighting Dumbledore is even more breathtaking. The looming green light shows his mastery of the Killing Curse.

And all this makes people involuntarily think of that person. Combining with the recent rumors, could it really be that Voldemort has come back, just because he wants to take back the position of the Death Eater boss.

Adhering to the principle of not causing trouble to Dumbledore, or based on the deepest desire in their hearts to watch them black eat black, the professors chose to wait and see.

It's just that I don't know why, Professor McGonagall always has an impulse, an impulse to shout "Piertotum Locomotor".

Just when all the teachers and students of Hogwarts thought that this war would continue, suddenly the Forbidden Forest became quiet.

What happened, or was the victory decided? For a time, everyone was a little confused.
