Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort

While Cyrus was in the Room of Requirement, Hogwarts hosted its first Quidditch match of the school year.

Quidditch can be said to be the most popular sport in the wizarding world, and all the teachers and students in the school will not be absent from almost every game. Cyrus is not very interested in Quidditch, and he has experienced it once before, and his enthusiasm has been worn away.

But he could just use today to conduct a thorough search of Hogwarts!

The weather was very cold these days, and after Sirius' case was overturned, the Ministry of Magic did not allow the Dementors to return to Azkaban. Because there is still a criminal who causes trouble from time to time and is still on the run, and Pettigrew has also replaced Sirius as the target of the hunt.

However, all the Dementors near Hogwarts were taken away, and after Sirius's unjust case was solved, everyone believed that no one would harm Harry Potter again. Peter Pettigrew may have had this idea, but no one thought he had the guts to return to Hogwarts.

The game hasn't started yet, but the atmosphere on the field is already very lively.

Under the thick lead-colored clouds, the shouts became louder and louder than the waves. Cyrus was far away, looking at the Quidditch pitch from the gray window. His eyesight allowed him to clearly see the situation on the field.

Dumbledore sat firmly on the high platform, while Sirius and Snape fought endlessly on the professor's chair, with the gentle Lupine acting as a moderator for the two of them. Of course Snape didn't care about this, he was like a poisonous snake spraying venom wantonly.

Almost no one came to persuade them to be more harmonious. For Snape, Lupine and Sirius were the enemies who almost caused his death; while for Sirius, the prank back then might have been a bit too much. Yes, but don’t forget Snape’s identity——

He was a Death Eater and had been a Death Eater reserve while still in school. After graduation, Snape became a very capable subordinate of Voldemort. Many people died at Snape's hands that year.

From this perspective, Sirius only regretted not killing Snape when he was in school.

The clouds were rolling, and it seemed like a freezing rain was about to fall.

But Cyrus knew very well that the rain would not dampen the enthusiasm of the young wizards. Even Snape took the Quidditch game very seriously.

Cyrus slowly walked through the castle. Of course, he would not use his original appearance foolishly. The statues in the castle were still there, and Filch was still patrolling. At this moment, he cast a disillusionment spell on himself to ensure that no one would find his traces.

Even Mrs. Lorris didn't smell his scent when she passed her.

After his identity was discovered by Sirius in Hogsmeade, Cyrus also attached great importance to smell.

"Where might the Qiuzhi Pavilion be located?"

As a key building used to protect ancient magic, Cyrus did not think that the Pavilion of Knowledge would be in a featureless corner.

Maybe there is a secret room in the castle that no one knows about?

Speaking of the Chamber of Secrets, Cyrus first thought of Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, but he didn't think that the Pavilion of Knowledge would be in the Chamber of Secrets. Opening the door to the chamber requires Parseltongue, but the four guardians do not have this ability.

Another special room is the Room of Requirement.

Unknowingly, Cyrus was already walking in the corridor on the eighth floor, passing under the tapestry of a giant monster beating Barnabas stupidly, and he suddenly stopped.

"Can the Room of Requirement take me to the Pavilion of Knowledge?"

As the most magical room in Hogwarts, the Room of Requirement is much more magical than Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. And the Room of Requirement does not disgrace its name at all. It is a room that is never forgotten and must have echoes. It helped Harry, Draco and even Voldemort a lot.

Last year, Cyrus also completed the refining of the Magic Stone here.

"Since the location of the Pavilion of Knowledge is inside Hogwarts, then the Room of Requirement may be able to reach that location directly."

Cyrus hesitated for a few seconds. The gold galleons in his pocket seemed to have been roasted in the fire, almost scalding his skin.

"It should take some time for Dumbledore to walk from the first floor to the eighth floor. I can give it a try first!"

Cyrus returned to the starting position and started walking with his eyes closed:

"Give me the Qiuzhi Pavilion."

"Give me the Qiuzhi Pavilion."

"Give me the Qiuzhi Pavilion."

He walked back and forth three times, and a wooden door immediately appeared on the originally empty wall. Cyrus felt it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. But he didn't think much, opened the door and walked in.

Cyrus pushed open the door that looked familiar and walked into a dark space.

Rows of bookshelves stood side by side, standing up like the walls of a maze in the darkness.

"library?"

Cyrus is very familiar with this place.

In my memory, Tom Riddle often studied knowledge in the library. Last year, Cyrus also wandered around the restricted book area from time to time.

"Because the library is in line with the meaning of seeking knowledge, so the library was opened?" Cyrus was a little confused.

It is naturally impossible for Cyrus to master all the magical knowledge in the library, but compared to these magics, he cares more about ancient magic.

It's not that the magic here is useless. In fact, it's quite the opposite. There are many ancient books in the Hogwarts library, but there are so many magic books here, and most of them are modern magic documents collected in the past hundred years.

"It seems that the Room of Requirement is not omnipotent. It may be impossible to find the Pavilion of Knowledge through this method." Cyrus thought for a while and planned to exit from here.

But when he was about to step out of the library door, he stopped.

Maybe the Qiuzhi Pavilion is located in the library?

Perhaps the Room of Requirement did not misinterpret the meaning of the Pavilion of Knowledge and brought Cyrus here by mistake, but the Pavilion of Knowledge itself was hidden in a corner of the library?

He turned back and looked at the rows of bookshelves in the dim library. They were like giants guarding the knowledge of magic.

"If there is a secret hidden somewhere in the library, it can only be the restricted book area!" Cyrus's eyes lit up, and he walked towards the restricted book area without hesitation. The isolation magic of the Forbidden Book Zone is useless to him. It is easier for him to go to the Forbidden Book Zone than to go home!

The library of Hogwarts is very large, and a traceless stretching spell has been cast in it. Thousand-year-old books are gathered here. In the vast sea of ​​books, anyone will be shocked by the knowledge itself.

Cyrus walked around in circles, walked through several ups and downs, and finally came to a wall. Without thinking much, he immediately waved his wand.

"The true form is revealed!"

The power of ancient magic spread, and the wall in front of Cyrus turned into an illusory thing and collapsed instantly.

The blue-gray arch appeared in front of Cyrus's eyes.

Passing through the blue-grey arch, Cyrus set foot on an ancient, dilapidated and magnificent road.

The smooth road is now slightly cracked. Cyrus can't tell whether this is the power of time or the guardian's intention, but the golden decorations on the edge of the road are still luxurious to this day.

He kept walking inside, and now he seemed to have come to a place that had nothing to do with Hogwarts. The dark but warm tones of the castle became deserted. Except for the road under his feet, there were no traces of decoration on the dome, and the gray grotto. It was wide and lonely, and his footsteps kept echoing in the cave, not knowing where it was going.

"Silent and silent."

He cast a spell to silence all the sounds on his body.

In fact, his footsteps were already very light, but in this empty cave, the slightest sound would be infinitely amplified.

He passed several narrow stone bridges and square venues along the way. These venues seemed to be duel grounds, with broken ruins of stone guardians scattered in every corner. They were killed by magic, and Cyrus recognized it at a glance as the Killing Curse.

He immediately frowned and his heart slowly sank.

The magic on the spell has not dissipated yet, and the spell has only been released not long ago. This means that someone found the Knowledge Pavilion before Cyrus!

Who is the one?

The secrets of the Pavilion of Knowledge and ancient magic have not been cracked for hundreds of years, and Cyrus can't think of anyone else who can find it.

And it happens to be at this point!

"I can think of only one person who would cast a life-killing curse against several stone statues."

Cyrus was of course referring to Voldemort, and Voldemort indeed showed his greed for ancient magic. But Cyrus couldn't understand why the other party was able to find the Knowledge Pavilion first.

However, no matter who is standing in front of Cyrus, he is ready to fight!

He tightened his grip on his wand and continued forward.

After turning several corners, Cyrus once again walked to a room where the pensieve was stored. This room was much smaller than the secret vault, and the ground did not look like water. There were probably no other unnecessary mechanisms.

But there is a bigger trouble.

A short body slowly lifted the old and ugly head from the pensieve. His eyes were very special, the whites of the eyes were black, and the pupils seemed to be dripping with blood.

It was a face that was both new and familiar to Sellers. It was their first meeting, but Cyrus recognized him immediately.

"Fairy, Lanlock?"

How could this dead soul from a hundred years ago appear here?

In Vault No. 12, Rookwood did say that a goblin had reached the deepest part of the vault, but they did not tell each other the secrets of ancient magic, and they also activated defensive magic.

Cyrus thought that Lanlock had died in the hands of the huge stone statue, but he didn't expect that the other party was still alive?

wrong!

Cyrus narrowed his eyes, his golden gaze was like the sun shining through the darkness!

There's something wrong with this Lanlock.

He doesn't seem to be really alive, but is on the border between life and death. He looks like he has run out of energy, but this shriveled body is forced to come to life for other reasons.

"I'm glad you're not that stupid yet." Lanlock grinned with a beast-like mouth.

"Voldemort?!"

Cyrus figured it out now.

It seems that Voldemort may have possessed Lanlock, but where did he find such a ghost from more than a hundred years ago?

As a magical creature, Cyrus was not surprised that goblins could live for more than a hundred years. In fact, these greedy blood-sucking insects usually lived to be over two hundred years old. But Cyrus didn't expect that Voldemort could actually find Lanlock's body after he had been missing for more than a hundred years.

And in Voldemort's current state, he can't possess anyone he wants.

Just like Cyrus in the diary at that time, he must first let others completely open their hearts to him and be willing to expose the most vulnerable parts of their hearts, and then he can possess the other person's body.

Cyrus did not think that someone like Lanlock would be willing to succumb to Voldemort.

"I said I would come back, Cyrus." Lanlock, or Voldemort, smiled ferociously. He was wearing heavy armor and clutching an ancient book in his gray and cracked nails. The moment he saw Cyrus, the book disappeared as if it had automatically apparated.

After being briefly surprised, Cyrus immediately came back to his senses and said sarcastically:

"You said you came back and stood in front of me with this pathetic posture?"

He wanted to know how Voldemort found Lanlock's body, and the missing book was obviously very important. It probably contained the knowledge of ancient magic, but at this moment, it fell into Voldemort's hands.

Gotta get that book back!

Cyrus narrowed his eyes and stared at Voldemort. The muscles under his robe were already tense, and the wand was waiting to be pulled out at any time. As long as the opponent showed any flaws, Cyrus would take action without hesitation!

"Yes, indeed." Voldemort did not break his defense this time. He probably felt that he should show some calmness and grace as his true form, so he said frankly, "I have to say that this is really a shame. The majestic Dark Lord can only Relying on a lowly goblin, but it’s much better than when I was in Albania, isn’t it?”

He reached out and knocked on the silver-black armor, which was as rugged as the bone spurs of a fire dragon, and said: "But you have to admit that even this most ugly and despicable race has merit. They have the ability to cast spells, and You can create such a pair of armor that can enhance magic power!"

Before he finished speaking, Voldemort took action first.

He raised his palm, and the armor on his body flashed with blood-colored light!

A black magic attack was immediately released from his palm.

It looks like a black mist, but there is an ominous blood glow in the black mist——

Cyrus drew out his wand without hesitation, flicked his wrist, and immediately shot out a magic spell to disperse the black mist.

Voldemort did not continue to attack, as if he was just demonstrating to Cyrus his power at the moment.

"More importantly, this goblin is different. He can see ancient magic -" Voldemort raised his ugly chin, paused, with a proud expression on his face, "How do they say -' Echo '."

"I have to thank you, Cyrus. If you hadn't killed the wizard's body in Gringotts, I wouldn't have found this container after escaping." Voldemort said softly.

For more than a hundred years, Lanlock's body seemed to have been lying in a corner in the underground cave of Gringotts. He was not dead, but had lost consciousness. This allowed Voldemort to take control of the body without any difficulty, and at the same time obtain the other party's memory.

Now, Voldemort has also obtained the ticket to ancient magic. As long as he does some magic experiments when he is resurrected, Lanlock's ancient magic talent can be transferred to himself.

By then, Dumbledore would not be his opponent.

Of course, Voldemort now has another question he wants to ask Cyrus.

"Tell me, what did you do to my Horcrux?"

Although Voldemort tried his best to appear calm, when he talked about Horcruxes, his tone became more urgent and his pupils shrank. After discovering that the golden cup was missing, Voldemort immediately went to check his Horcruxes, and it was obvious that they were all missing.

He didn't look for the crown, but he didn't give up hope at this moment.

"You stole my things. I think Dumbledore should have taught you that you shouldn't do this, right?"

Cyrus:? ? ?

"You are really good at telling jokes, Tom." Cyrus was almost amused by Voldemort. "Among those Horcruxes, except for the diary and the ring, which one belongs to you?"

"Those are my Horcruxes! They are fragments of my soul!" Voldemort slammed into Cyrus, "Shouldn't you destroy them? You won't do that, will you? It won't do you any good."

"Who knows? Not everyone does things just for the benefit, maybe I am just interested -" Cyrus said playfully.

It's fun to tease a Dark Lord.

"How about we exchange? I can tell you that I have two Horcruxes in my hand now - hand over the book, and I can give you the ring."

Cyrus made an offer that Voldemort could not refuse.

But in fact, Cyrus just wants nothing more than nothing. The soul fragments in the ring have been devoured by him. The current ring is just an empty shell, a broken container, with no use at all.

Use the ring in exchange for Voldemort, then he will earn pure blood!

But to Cyrus's expectation, Voldemort refused.

In fact, Voldemort was a little surprised. He thought Cyrus might have three Horcruxes in his hand.

Could it be that the crown is still in the Room of Requirement?

Voldemort's mind became active.

If the crown is still there, then he actually has nothing to worry about. Even if there is only one Horcrux left, it can guarantee his immortality. Isn't it just to deal with this situation that he made so many Horcruxes?

"You're so confused, Cyrus." He laughed easily.

"Kill you, and the ring and gold cup will be mine!"

Thanks to Kopcn for the 100-point reward, thank you boss!

Tomorrow will be the first month of the month, so if nothing else goes wrong, I should add more updates, but how much more will be added depends on how much I can write.
