Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 536: Reconciliation with Death

"……sorry."

Hearing Dumbledore's apology, Chris, or Tom Riddle's body froze, and the terrifying pressure that permeated the office returned to his body as if it had received the call of its master.

Chris stared at Dumbledore on the recliner. He really wanted to find some clues on Dumbledore's face at this moment, to prove that what Dumbledore said just now was just a compromise for the sake of survival.

But unfortunately, even though he had used Legilimency, he couldn't find any flaws. Everything showed that Dumbledore was sincerely apologizing to him.

This brought some emotion to his face.

After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said:

"I forgive you."

"really?"

A flush suddenly appeared on Dumbledore's withered face. As if he had regained his vitality, he suddenly raised his body and grabbed Chris's arm with his skeleton-like hand.

"real."

Chris said with a smile, and as he spoke, he gently patted Dumbledore's bony hand, not at all disgusted by the horrible and disgusting black spots on it.

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore opened and closed his mouth silently, and then lay down again as if he had let go of something and said:

"Really? That's good."

The expression on Dumbledore's face was extremely relaxed. What no one knew was that the student Dumbledore cared about most was Tom Riddle, also known as Voldemort.

This is a very complicated feeling.

For a long time, Dumbledore felt that the reason why Voldemort became what he was now was entirely due to the problem of his own education method. If he could use a gentler approach, perhaps Voldemort would not have become what he is now.

That's why he felt so relaxed now that he knew Voldemort had forgiven him.

Chris felt quite touched when he saw Dumbledore's appearance at this moment.

He sighed and said slowly:

"Professor Dumbledore, I have made many mistakes. Some of them seemed very stupid to me, which led to my inability to understand the thoughts of the other me after I was separated from the Horcrux. But after I gradually absorbed the souls in other Horcruxes and gradually became complete, I slowly understood it.

I have always been at war with death. In my concept, death is not an invincible existence. This makes me arrogant and fearless. However, people cannot be without awe. This will not make people brave, but only make people crazy and stupid! "

Chris became more and more excited as he spoke, and his facial expression even became ferocious, as if he hated himself to the core.

Seeing this, Dumbledore nodded slightly in agreement.

To be honest, Voldemort was indeed a very outstanding child in his youth. This was not only reflected in his magical talent, but also in other aspects, such as his extremely high emotional intelligence and IQ, as well as his handsome appearance.

With so many advantages, plus the Parseltongue that can prove the purity of his bloodline, it can be said that Voldemort, who just graduated from Hogwarts, will be able to achieve great things whether he chooses to go to the Ministry of Magic or somewhere else.

Given time, he might even be able to compete for the post of Minister of Magic.

By that time, although there will be undercurrents in private and various forces will fight for their own interests, the entire Ministry of Magic of Ying Country will still belong to him on the surface. He has enough time and strength to realize his ideal.

Dumbledore even once fantasized that if Voldemort had not gone astray, he would have been the best candidate to succeed him as the next headmaster of Hogwarts.

It’s a pity that there were so many sunny avenues for him to choose from, but he chose the most difficult and twisted one among them - fighting death!

Because of the fear of death, Voldemort lost his mind in a choice and chose the extremely stupid method of Horcruxes.

But this was just the beginning of everything. After experiencing the pain of constantly splitting his soul, Voldemort had completely lost his mind and turned into a moody madman.

Such a madman is destined to fail!

Dumbledore also understood the identity of Voldemort who now appeared before him.

This is most likely a soul from a certain Horcrux that broke away from the Horcrux and possessed Chris, and then collected souls from multiple other Horcruxes, thus gaining almost complete memory and power.

As for which Horcrux this split soul came from.

That must be Riddle's diary.

After all, if it was Voldemort controlled by other souls, the first thing he would probably do was to threaten me to hand over the Elder Wand to him.

Only the youngest Tom would still have a little affection for this old man, and only the young Tom would be so naive that he would actually talk about the topic of death with this old man!

And what he said was wrong!

You know, they are wizards, why do wizards live longer than Muggles? Isn't this the spoils of war that their ancestors won in their battle with death?

Therefore, there is nothing wrong in being an enemy of death. All Voldemort’s mistakes were just that he was too stupid!

As he thought of this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, but it was well concealed by the white film covering his cornea.

Chris was completely unaware of this and was still in a state of self-absorption.

"Now I have reconciled with death! This has given me a new life and given me greater goals!" Chris bent down and saluted, "Voldemort is dead. Now, please allow me to reintroduce myself! Chris Flint! The current patriarch of the Flint family, and also the chairman of the Pure-Blood Wizarding Union!"

Looking at Voldemort over there, Dumbledore's eyes twitched slightly, and he asked with some trembling:
"what do you want to do?"

“Make this world a better place!”

Chris answered without thinking, but this answer made Dumbledore's eyes look more gloomy.

It was hard for him to imagine what Voldemort meant by making the world a better place, but based on what he had done in the past, Dumbledore didn't think it would be a good thing.

But he quickly adjusted his mood, pretended to be excited, stretched out his hand and said:
"Tom, it's great that you think so! There's an old saying in the East that a prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. I think it fits you just fine!"

Chris also became excited after hearing this, and he grabbed Dumbledore's hand and said:
"What you said is really wonderful. I'm glad that you finally understand me now!" Dumbledore nodded excitedly, but then his body collapsed as if he had exhausted all his strength. He could only pretend to be relieved and looked at Chris and said:

"That makes me feel relieved. Now, go ahead and kill me, then embark on your new journey."

Chris smiled strangely, grabbed Dumbledore's hand and said:

"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, but I'm afraid I can't grant you that wish."

As he spoke, a black light suddenly appeared in Chris's hand, and large amounts of black mist continued to rise from Dumbledore's body and eventually dissipated into the air.

As the black air in his body was gradually discharged, Dumbledore's extremely dark arms gradually returned to flesh color, and even his chaotic eyes became much clearer.

Finally, Dumbledore's curse was completely lifted.

Chris slowly stood up, looked at Dumbledore who was breathing much more smoothly on the recliner and smiled:
"Live well, Professor Dumbledore, and see how I change the world! By the way, remember to read tomorrow's Daily Prophet, there will be a surprise in it."

After saying that, without waving his wand, Chris's figure gradually became illusory and finally disappeared completely in the office.

Dumbledore just looked at the place where Chris had just stood, and remained silent for a long time.

To be honest, he now regretted catching Mike.

He had no trust at all in Voldemort, who had changed his appearance and become Chris Flint. Besides, some things could not be forgiven just because you reformed. The things Voldemort had done were so cruel that they were outrageous to both humans and gods. For such a person, complete death was the best destination!

If Mike were still here, the combined power of him and Mike should be able to stop the current Voldemort. Unfortunately, Mike has been imprisoned by the Ministry of Magic.

But things are not particularly bad. At least Mike is not dead yet. As long as he can get out safely, and with some help from me, he should be able to defeat a half-baked Voldemort.

Thinking of this, he suddenly took out a wand from his arms and placed it in front of him. It was the elderberry wand!
……

The next day, when the new day's Daily Prophet flew into every household with the help of the wings of owl messengers, the entire Ying Kingdom's magical community was in an uproar.

Because every page of it contained a piece of news that was enough to shock the entire European wizarding world.

"The current Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom, Rufus Scrimgeour, has resigned due to his poor performance during equal rights time!"

"The new Minister of Magic, Chris Flint, takes office and announces that he will quell social instability in a short period of time!"

……

Almost every wizard who saw the Daily Prophet was stunned. They didn't understand why Scrimgeour wanted to resign at this critical juncture, and in such a self-deprecating way.

You have to know that the Minister of Magic who resigned will not be able to hold any position in the future, which means that Scrimgeour can only go home and farm.

Generally speaking, this situation only occurs in the loser of a political struggle or in people who have committed serious mistakes. The most typical example is Fudge, but Scrimgeour clearly does not fit either of these two situations.

This is not the most important thing. After all, since Scrimgeour is no longer the Minister of Magic, he doesn't need that much attention.

But the most incomprehensible thing is that the new Minister of Magic, Chris Flint, is less than 17 years old this year, which means he is not yet an adult!

How could such a minor become the leader of the magical world of Ying Country?

This is simply unbelievable!
The officials of the Ministry of Magic were the first to be unwilling.

Especially the officials of the Auror Office who originally belonged to Scrimgeour's faction. It was fine when everyone was living in fear and hard times, but now that the situation is so good and everyone is looking forward to having a big meal with you, Scrimgeour, you actually just quit?

If it were just that it would be fine, but now before you left you even brought a young boy to ride on everyone's heads?
How can anyone tolerate this?
For a moment, the entire Ministry of Magic was excited.

As for the method of dealing with such problems, the ky method used by this group of wizards is basically no different from that used by the Muggles they look down upon, it's nothing more than holding up signs, bg.

So the wizards who came to the Ministry of Magic to handle business today were in trouble.

The entire Ministry of Magic was shut down, and their business could hardly be carried out. Those registering marriages and companies were better off. Anyway, the wizarding world in Britain did not care about auspicious days, so they just had to wait a few days.

But those foreign businessmen who rushed to Ying Kingdom to do business after hearing the news of Voldemort's death were in a dilemma.

They need to be inspected by the Department of International Affairs of the Ministry of Magic of England before entering the country. Now that the Ministry of Magic is paralyzed, they are locked outside and cannot get in!

Suddenly, a very funny scene appeared in the Ministry of Magic. Almost all the doors of the offices were crowded with people, and a large number of wizards were stranded here waiting to handle business.

But the officials in the office were just eating and drinking, with no intention of paying any attention to the crowd outside.

I have to say, although this trick is cliché, it is very effective.

In the eyes of those officials, under such pressure, their new minister would soon be unable to withstand the pressure and compromise with them. By then, they would be able to bite off a large piece of meat from the young man.

Everyone is happy! Everyone is happy!
But while these officials were calculating how to maximize their benefits, Chris, who was in the office of the Minister of Magic, did not look anxious at all.

At this moment, he was even directing several wizards to decorate his office.

Scrimgeour, a guy from the military, has no sense of aesthetic taste at all, which makes his office extremely simple. Now Chris needs to transform it back to the luxurious and elegant appearance of Fudge's era.

Seeing Chris's calmness, his assistant's face was filled with despair.

From what he had observed so far, it seemed that the new Minister of Magic was a playboy who only cared about pleasure!

With such a Minister of Magic, can this government really be okay?

The assistant expressed deep doubt about this!
"Mr. Minister, this situation is happening outside now, aren't you?"

After struggling for a long time, the assistant finally decided to fulfill his duty and remind the minister in front of him who was much younger than himself.

But in response to his reminder, Chris shook his head nonchalantly and said sarcastically:

"It's just some trash. They will soon be exhausted."
