Chapter 330 Voldemort Returns

"What are you doing here?" Voldemort was in a bad mood, and his mood became even worse after seeing Tom Riddle.

"Can't I come and see you if I'm fine? My respected Lord Voldemort."

Tom kept a safe distance from Voldemort and continued, "I'm actually here to support you."

"Support?" Voldemort sneered and said, "I think you are here to laugh at me?"

"Are you referring to the fact that the Malfoy family betrayed you again?" After Tom said this, he saw Voldemort's face turn pale.

"Don't worry about it. You know Lucius's character."

"He is a two-faced opportunist. For him, betrayal is as easy as eating and drinking."

"If you lose your mind because of him, I will despise you very much."

Voldemort's expression eased slightly.

In fact, it's not just the Malfoy family. With the departure of the Malfoy family, other families ran away and dispersed without even saying hello to them.

If he still had his former loyal Death Eaters, would these families dare to run away?

If they dare to run, he will lead people to wipe out their clan.

However, his loyal followers were all kidnapped or killed by Tom in front of him.

It can be said that Tom is 90% responsible for his current situation!
Thinking of this, Voldemort's face darkened again, "You didn't ask me to come here just to talk about this, did you?"

"You are now both the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts and the savior in the eyes of those half-bloods."

"You are such a splendid person, do you need to come here to get flattery from a poor person like me?"

Tom pointed at Voldemort and laughed, "I don't have the time for that."

"I'm quitting Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"Don't look at me like that." Tom looked at Voldemort's surprised eyes, and for some reason, he felt regretful about resigning.

However, he quickly adjusted his attitude and continued, "I'm here to cooperate with you, Voldemort."

"Cooperation?" Voldemort sneered, "What qualifications do I have, Lord Riddle?"

"You have the loyal Lestrange family, countless half-bloods who want to work for you, and even Dumbledore treats you with courtesy."

"You have almost become the one who has the final say in the entire wizarding world. What else do you need to cooperate with me for?"

"Just wait for the world to slowly turn, and your goal will be achieved sooner or later."

The more Voldemort spoke, the more sour his tone became. He suddenly felt that all his efforts to prove the supremacy of pure-bloods were not as good as Tom's speech.

Intrigue, humiliation and finally the struggle till now.

If he had stayed safely with Quirrell at the beginning, even if he was assimilated into a good person, his situation would be much better than it is now, right?
Freedom and dreams are bullshit!
Tom's eye twitched slightly.

The Lestrange family was indeed loyal, so loyal that it was a bit too much for him.

As for those half-bloods who were planning to take advantage of the situation, and Dumbledore, they just had their own thoughts and would never consider him in the slightest.

More importantly, he needs to follow Lord Russell's orders!

He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he didn't satisfy that adult.

At least, he knew one thing:
Since Lord Russell can turn all the Lestrange family members into women, he also has the ability to turn them all into men.

This is so horrible that I can't even imagine it!

So, Tom looked at the somewhat negative Voldemort and said with some regret: "Are you planning to give up just like that?"

"Are you worthy of having a soul like mine, Voldemort?"

“So what?” Voldemort spread his hands, looking nonchalant. “If you were in my position, could you make a small splash in this turbulent wizarding world?”

Tom was speechless. He rubbed his brow and took out the Hufflepuff gold cup from his pocket. "Voldemort, I know you are in a difficult situation now."

"So, I brought you power."

Voldemort subconsciously took the flying golden light. He looked down and the familiar feeling coming from the outside and inside of the golden cup made his heart skip a beat.

"What do you mean?"

"If you swallow it, you will become stronger, right, Voldemort?" Tom stepped back, his figure gradually blurred, "What to do next is up to you.

"Don't make me look down on you."

Voldemort narrowed his eyes, and he kept guessing Tom's purpose in his mind.

But after thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Tom Riddle, what are you planning?"

Voldemort held the Horcrux he had accidentally obtained, and his fighting spirit slowly returned to his body. "Whatever you want."

"At least, I have to let the bastards who betrayed me know the consequences of angering me."

Green flames ignited in his palms, and the Hufflepuff Cup deformed and melted in his hands, then slowly turned into a drop of golden liquid. Voldemort raised his head and swallowed the golden liquid in one gulp.

Then, the magic power in his body exploded and the entire cave began to shake.

Three seconds later, the cave collapsed and Voldemort turned into black smoke and flew towards Hogwarts School.

……

At Hogwarts School.

Dumbledore kept trying to pass the library but failed. However, Grindelwald was favored by Madam Pince and was kept in the library as an apprentice. She also made him work part-time as Dumbledore's exclusive first aid technician.

Here's a week later.

Dumbledore, looking gloomy, took Harry to where Snape was guarding by Apparition.

"Severus." Dumbledore pulled Snape aside and carefully instructed: "You have to keep a close eye on Harry."

"You don't need to remind me of this, Albus." Snape frowned and said dissatisfiedly:
"Although Harry helped you get rid of a Horcrux, there was no need for you to send him here so quickly."

"Even if the mysterious man comes in person, I can deal with him."

Dumbledore listened to Snape's words with his mind in a trance.

The memory of Hogwarts seemed to be as short as Snape said. In his memory, he only let Harry rest for less than a quarter of an hour!

Although a lot of things happened in this quarter of an hour——

Tom Riddle left without saying goodbye, the pure-blood families represented by Lucius declared neutrality and hid in the Ministry of Magic, and the half-blood wizards began a civil war in distant America...

But I shouldn't have let Harry rest for such a short time!

No matter what, he is still a child!

Merlin, what happened to me!?

Dumbledore slapped his head in frustration, almost popping his eyes out.

Snape pursed his lips, but finally reached out and grabbed Dumbledore.

"Albus, you're too tired. Leave the rest to me."

"Don't worry, I will never give Harry a chance to escape."

"This time, I won't give the mysterious person any chance!"

Dumbledore pulled his hand away from Snape in confusion. He sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Snape."

"I lost my temper."

"You know what? Riddle resigned without a word. He actually left Hogwarts, and I don't know where he went."

"Lucius has rebelled again. You-Know-Who is now alone, but we have also lost his position because of this."

“There is unrest all over the world right now.”

Snape's heart tightened, and an inexplicable sense of tension hit him like a tsunami.

"Severus, the task here is difficult. I don't even know how many mysterious people will appear here."

"So, I had to bring Harry over."

Dumbledore turned his head and looked at Harry who was looking around inconspicuously, "And, Severus, you must pay special attention."

"It looks like Harry is going behind my back and making some horrible, forbidden potion."

"You have to keep a close eye on him and don't let him go astray..."

Dumbledore kept on nagging and giving instructions, and although he was still worried, he finally left.

After Dumbledore left, Snape frowned. He came to Harry and said sternly, "Harry, you know, Dumbledore put me in charge of this place, so -"

"You must obey me in all your actions, including your studies."

"Okay, Mr. Snape." Harry seemed to be infected by his seriousness and responded seriously.

Snape breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike the time when he and Lily were drifting apart, he and Harry seemed to be getting closer.

However, the two have one weird thing in common:

He didn't know what to do in his current situation!
"By the way, Mr. Snape." Harry asked calmly, as if he was asking about today's weather:
"Do you want to revive my mother?"

? !
Snape looked at Harry in shock.

He had to admit that he was moved.

For some unknown reason, Snape suddenly had a premonition that he was going to fail Dumbledore's trust.
