Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort

Chapter 146 For the greater good

Halloween has always been a festival that the wizarding world takes very seriously, second only to Christmas. Although Cyrus couldn't figure out why wizards celebrated Christmas, who's to say that Jesus wasn't a wizard.

Third grade wizards will head to Hogsmeade for the first time during the day on Halloween.

Of course, Harry Potter couldn't go because he couldn't get permission from his guardian because of the summer vacation. Of course, he actually had no intention of paying attention to Hogsmeade at the moment. The news that Hermione brought back from Mr. Sellers gave him a severe shock, especially since the murderer had been caught, and now all he had to do was find Sirius to testify in court.

"I will have a family..." Harry stood alone behind the bedroom window, feeling excited in his heart.

But soon, he became worried again.

'Will he accept me? ’

He is a little worried about gain and loss.

"Of course he will. In fact, he is willing to give everything he has to you."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in Harry's ears, startling Harry. He suddenly came back to his senses and looked around, but he didn't see anyone: "Who is talking?"

"It's me." Cyrus knocked on the window.

Only then did Harry find a golden eagle parked in front of his window. He quickly opened the window, and the cool wind immediately rushed in, making him shrink back.

Then he saw the eagle jump into his house, and in his astonished eyes turned into a man wearing a black and gold cloak.

"Mr. Sellers?!" Harry's eyes widened!

"Good morning, Harry. How's things going with Sirius?" Cyrus greeted naturally.

He didn't know the Gryffindor password, so he chose this method to get in.

"Peter Pettigrew has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Magic. The headmaster said that the trial will be held as soon as Sirius shows up." Harry answered naturally, but he soon realized that he had too much to answer besides. I have a question for Cyrus.

For example - those things related to Voldemort.

"How...how are you doing recently? Hermione said that you ignored her again after you replied to her in the diary last time." But he opened his mouth and what came out was just ordinary greetings. He was worried that there would be something to say. It's so clear that we can't be friends.

"I can't stand her chirping all the time. I have a lot of things to do."

"Too busy blowing up Gringotts?"

"I was indeed responsible for what happened at Gringotts." Cyrus nodded, "But I was just going to get something according to the normal procedure, but those greedy goblins plotted against me. You reminded me - I can’t make it easy for them.”

Cyrus planned to find time to write to Lucius Malfoy.

The greedy goblins must pay the price for their actions, but blood is not enough! Cyrus wants to take away their most cherished treasure!

Harry said nothing about it.

"Then you are this time?"

"I came to the school to find something, but I had to do something first to avoid being discovered." Sellers explained.

He was referring to the Marauder's Map.

Although the Pavilion of Knowledge is located in Hogwarts, Cyrus does not expect to be able to find its location immediately. This may take some time. Cyrus needs to ensure that he stays in Hogwarts for a long time without being discovered.

"So, do you need someone to possess you?" Harry asked quickly, he even looked a little eager to try.

Cyrus:? ? ?

"No, I don't need to be possessed now, Harry." Seeing that Harry seemed a little disappointed, Cyrus added, "Don't tell others my whereabouts, okay? This is our secret."

"certainly!"

Cyrus picked up his wand and transformed into another person - Neville Longbottom - in front of Harry.

This is a boy with a fat, round face. He has a very poor memory and often loses track of things. Cyrus spent some time with him when he possessed Ginny last year, and he is a relatively familiar transformation target.

The most important thing is that based on Neville's memory, it is too normal to appear in the castle on this day when everyone is heading to Hogsmeade. No one would suspect that he must have forgotten something and had to stay.

After completing a perfect human transformation, Cyrus was about to walk out, when he found Harry looking at him longingly.

"Together?" he asked tentatively.

Harry seemed to have been waiting for his words for a long time, and nodded without hesitation: "Of course!"

Rather than staying alone in the dormitory, it would be better to go out with Cyrus on an adventure, even if it's not an adventure, just hanging out.

"Where are we going now?"

"First go to Fred and George's dormitory. I want to find a map and then erase my name from it. By the way, have you heard of the Pavilion of Knowledge?" Cyrus asked as he walked.

"Sounds like a library?"

They soon arrived at Fred's room, and it didn't take much effort for Cyrus to find the map.

Harry was dumbfounded by the usefulness of this map. He never dreamed that Hogwarts actually had such a treasure.

"Your father and Sirius made this together." Cyrus used the Confusion Curse on the map, and then cast the Anti-Interpersonal Curse and the Elimination Curse on his name, finally erasing his name from it. .

"Can you please erase my name too?"

"If so, then they know the map has been tampered with." Cyrus rejected Harry.

After doing these things, Cyrus and Harry left the lounge together. The castle was sparsely populated at the moment, with only junior wizards occasionally walking through the corridors. However, Harry still felt a little guilty, fearing that others would see Cyrus' flaws.

Harry followed Cyrus all the way to the owl loft.

"Lend me Hedwig."

"certainly!"

Harry nodded in agreement, and Cyrus came to the snowy owl and tied a letter to the other's foot.

"Who are you writing to?"

"Lucius Malfoy," Cyrus said honestly.

"Malfoy...are you colluding with him?" This answer made Harry feel very uncomfortable. He never thought that the Malfoys were good people.

"To attack the financial lifeline of goblins, I need the help of the Malfoy family, who are very prestigious among purebloods." Cyrus explained. To deal with Gringotts, we must be quick and stir up public opinion while Gringotts' prestige is now damaged. After a long time, after the storm of the attack has passed, it will not be so effective.

Of course it would be more convenient if Cyrus took on Voldemort's identity, but now is not the time to show off.

"If Malfoy is obedient enough, he will soon declare that Gringotts cannot be trusted and goblins cannot protect their wealth, and then take out all the gold stored in Gringotts. At that time, I hope you can do a favor and respond to him "The call." Cyrus said to Harry, "It would be better if Black could be persuaded to do the same."

Afterwards, Cyrus and Harry walked around Hogwarts several times, but could not find the so-called Cabinet of Knowledge.

"Do you think the Pavilion of Knowledge will be in the Headmaster's Office?" Harry asked.

Cyrus felt that he was asking a very good question.

But if you want to go to the principal's office, obviously you can't go with Harry.

"Tonight is the Halloween banquet, and Professor Dumbledore will stay in the auditorium longer than usual." Harry suggested, "I can give you a sneak peek. If the professor leaves the auditorium, I will notify you."

"Good idea." Cyrus immediately conjured up two fake Galleons and threw one of them to Harry. "If there is any situation, use this to notify. As long as you cast a spell on it, this one will If I get a fever, I will leave immediately."

Harry nodded and put away the fake galleons.

Then, the two of them went for a walk around the Black Lake. In the evening, the little wizards who went to Hogsmeade came back one after another, and Cyrus couldn't continue to act in Neville's face. He separated from Harry and turned into an eagle hovering over the castle.

Until night, Cyrus is covered with stars and the moon sets.

He came to the door of the principal's office.

The door to the principal's office was locked, and the two gargoyles stared at him.

"Lemon Olaf." He tried a command.

But the stone statue didn't respond. Then, he tried many sweet commands, and they were all the same. Sellers wasn't surprised either. Of course, reality cannot be like fan fiction, where the protagonist just says a password and it is correct.

Otherwise, the protection of the principal's office would be in vain.

'The password for the Headmaster's Office has always been sweet, but that was the password Dumbledore himself set when he was in the Headmaster's Office and needed to see someone. ' He thought to himself, 'But if he leaves and doesn't want anyone to come in, what kind of password will he leave behind? ’

"What password is something that others can't think of and that Dumbledore thinks about most?" He lowered his head and muttered to himself.

A figure suddenly flashed in Cyrus's mind.

——Grindelwald!

That was Dumbledore's love and his regret; it was the person he longed for and the person he could not forgive in his life. Cyrus didn't think Dumbledore would explicitly use Grindelwald's name as a password.

Dumbledore's feelings for Grindelwald must be complicated, not only the unspeakable love for more than two months, but also the hatred for Grindelwald. There is no need to worry about whose spell Dumbledore's sister Ariana died under.

Dumbledore, Aberforth and Grindelwald may all be responsible.

What is even more chilling is Grindelwald's decision at the time.

He left two miserable teenagers and a cold corpse behind and fled Godric's Hollow alone.

Since then, there has been another incident involving Cresden...

Grindelwald owed Dumbledore so much. Cyrus heard that Grindelwald had often written to Dumbledore since entering Nurmengard, but he could not get a response until he tore the sheets to pieces.

This spell must not be Grindelwald's name, but something else.

Cyrus looked at the two gargoyle monsters and spoke tentatively:

"For the greater good."

The door opened.

Cyrus suddenly realized that this was not a password to open a door, but a spell to imprison two souls tormenting each other.

As far away as Nurmengard in Northern Europe, the same words were carved in German on the door of the prison. Grindelwald was voluntarily imprisoned there, and Dumbledore was similarly imprisoned at Hogwarts.

For the greater good.

This sentence cannot be wrong in any way, but it depends on whose interests the "interests" are.

Grindelwald naturally represents the interests of wizards. His stance is the same as Voldemort's, both regard Muggles as enemies; but their thoughts are completely different. He does not hate Muggles, nor does he despise Muggles. On the contrary, Grindelwald attaches great importance to the power of Muggles. He viewed Muggles as beings different from wizards, but equally useful.

That’s right, it’s “people”!

There have been many changes in the concept of "person" in the magical world. Nowadays, whether they are goblins, centaurs or giants, they are actually classified into the category of "human". In the past, they were magical animals.

Grindelwald viewed Muggles as equals, but he always sided with wizards.

In fact, it was precisely because Grindelwald could see the strengths of Muggles that he valued Muggles more, knew better that the law of secrecy needed to be broken, and that the wizarding world needed to change. If you can't seize the opportunity, the wizard's situation will only get worse.

From the wizard's point of view, he was not wrong, but he was too radical and his methods were too bloody.

And traditional wizards, they are too conservative.

Regarding the relationship between wizards and Muggles, Cyrus does not side with wizards because he was a Muggle without magic in his previous life. Of course, if one day a war between wizards and Muggles really breaks out, he may not fight for the Muggles.

He has no feelings for the Muggles in this world, and it can even be said that he has no connection with them.

He didn't think much about this issue and stepped onto the spiral elevator.

There is no danger in the principal's office now, unless Dumbledore uses the time turner to leave a version of himself waiting for his arrival in the office.

The likelihood of that happening is low, and even if it does happen, Cyrus isn't very scared. It's different now than it was a few months ago in the Screaming Shack. It was impossible to defeat Dumbledore, but he was still confident if he just escaped.

The elevator took Cyrus to the principal's office.

"Tom Riddle!" a shrill voice shouted.

"Shut up, Phineas!"

The portraits on the walls expressed surprise at Cyrus' sudden visit.

"Quick! Someone go find Dumbledore!"

No one responded, but it was obvious that the principals in several portraits were ready to leave and report to Dumbledore.

This time Sellers would not ignore the portrait.

"I need you to stay here for a while."

He looked around and immediately cast a spell to imprison the people in the portrait, temporarily sealing them in the photo frame in the principal's office and unable to leave. But he did not let down his guard, because at this moment, there was a small and beautiful red bird on the table looking at him.

This is Dumbledore's phoenix, Fawkes.

It looks small, but the Phoenix is ​​actually related to the Thunderbird, which is as big as a fire dragon.

Cyrus doesn't ignore an opponent's strength just because of his size. Not to mention that it could bring Dumbledore in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Good evening, Fox." Cyrus greeted him familiarly, but Fox just looked at him in surprise and made no move.

It didn't seem to have any intention of leaving here to inform Dumbledore, so it leaned against the shelf and closed its eyes.
