Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 349, Chapter 343. Voldemort: "Hehehehehe"

Lucius's analogy was strange, but Voldemort found it very useful.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Lucius guessed correctly; Voldemort was indeed testing him.

Voldemort was a cunning and suspicious person by nature. He appreciated capable people, but that was all. If necessary, he could kill them without hesitation.

Lucius has always been capable, and he is even more satisfactory to him now than before, without a doubt. But he lost that diary, that important diary that he himself had given him, his Horcrux!

Voldemort only gave two subordinates: himself and Bellatrix, who was imprisoned in Azkaban.

He was resurrected using the Horcruxes he was given to Bellatrix.

What do you think his attitude towards Lucius should be?

If Lucius hadn't rushed over the moment he returned and helped him with so many things, he would have been lucky not to kill him.

After giving instructions to his men, Voldemort stayed alone in the room.

With a wave of his hand, he instantly shattered a floor-length mirror in the room into pieces. He had had enough of the fairy's tiny body. If it weren't for the fact that changing bodies would have some impact on the soul, he would have possessed another Death Eater long ago.

"Dumbledore, Harry Potter, I'll kill you all sooner or later."

"Oh, and that pesky Dursley too."

Voldemort gazed into the distance through the drafty window, his small eyes radiating boundless killing intent.

That direction leads to Hogwarts.

Then he took out a ring with a round black gemstone set in his pocket and gently stroked it as if he were seeing his first love.

This is also a Horcrux, but it's more than just a Horcrux.

The Gaunt family ring.

It is also the Resurrection Stone, one of the Three Deadly Artifacts that Grindelwald searched for his entire life but could never find.

This was his trump card against Dumbledore, and it was cursed with a very powerful curse. Anyone who wore it would be cursed and would surely die.

That's right, Karkaroff's proud methods of cursing were nothing compared to Voldemort. At least, even if Karkaroff spent his entire life researching, he would not be able to create a curse that could kill Dumbledore.

It's true that Dumbledore knew about Voldemort's past, but Voldemort hadn't been idle all these years. He was filled with apprehension towards Dumbledore, and in order to deal with him and find his weakness, Voldemort investigated his past.

He felt immense guilt over the deaths of his loved ones, which is why he distanced himself from power; he believed this was one of the reasons his relatives had died.

"You can't refuse it."

Voldemort faced the direction of Hogwarts and raised the ring, as if speaking to Dumbledore from afar. The gem shimmered with iridescent black light in the sunlight.

Now all we need to do is find a suitable time for the other party to "discover" it.

For example, give the other person a hint and let them find it themselves.

He is about to regain his original body and return to his peak condition. In addition, with the death of the wizard he feared most, no one in the world will be able to defy him.

Thinking of this, Voldemort couldn't help but grin and let out a "hehe" laugh.

As the protagonist who was tricked by Voldemort, Dumbledore was at this moment shopping for textbooks for fifth grade with Dudley and the others at Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley, listening to their complaints.

"Defense Against Magic Theory"

Ron held up a book and banged on its thick cover: "I bet this is the most boring textbook I've ever seen."

He had barely finished speaking when he added, "Even more boring and useless than Lockhart's books."

"Defense Against Magic: Theory", a textbook for fifth-grade Defense Against the Dark Arts course.

"Look at the author's slogan: 'Learn defensive spells in a safe, risk-free way.' I seriously doubt this author even graduated. I'd be surprised if his defense against the dark arts surpassed that of second-year Harry."

Starting from the second year, the subject that the Discipline Group values ​​most is Defense Against the Dark Arts. From the Duelist Club in the second year, to Lupin in the third year, to the real and fake Moody and Karkaroff in the fourth year, and finally to Grindelwald during the holidays, the Discipline Group's level of learning from these veteran wizards is undoubtedly very high.

Even Ron, who had the worst grades, was qualified to offer some comments.

Defending against black magic has absolutely nothing to do with safety; the prerequisite for countering evil curses is that you must be proficient in evil curses.

Even Hermione, who always respected the authority of textbooks, frowned and kept flipping through the pages this time, unusually refraining from arguing with Ron.

The first chapter of this book, "Introductory Basic Principles," and the second chapter, "The Theory of Ordinary Defense and Its Origins," seem normal at first glance, containing definitions of black magic and magical defense, among other things.

In fact, this is very similar to the content of "Dark Forces: The Self-Defense Guide" that Harry and his friends studied in their first year. So similar that it can be described as an English translation.

Furthermore, starting from Chapter 3, the author seems to be letting loose. Chapter 3 is about "reasons for taking a non-offensive response to magical attacks," with Chapter 15 discussing anti-curses. He argues that anti-curses shouldn't exist, a point roughly similar to Lockhart's strategy of defusing crises with a smile. Chapter 34 is even more outrageous—"Not revenge, but negotiation." Yes, this 'master' doesn't immediately retaliate against a dark magic attack; instead, he intends to negotiate.

One can only say that this "master" is either evil or stupid.

"Why would our new professor use this kind of book as a teaching material?"

Even Neville, who is usually taciturn, couldn't help but speak up.

"This level of skill is good enough to publish a book. I think Draco could even become a Defense Against the Dark Arts Master."

Ron's movements were as exaggerated as ever.

"Roxithromycin capsules, I'll take that as a compliment," Draco said, trying to maintain his composure.

He spent the entire holiday imitating Grindelwald, having vowed to become that wizard ever since meeting the most charismatic wizard.

"My name only has three letters (Ron), so why can you make such a complicated word?"

"Is it complicated? It's quite complicated for your brain."

"Draco, I challenge you to a duel!"

"Very well, Robinello, let us celebrate your 1,223rd defeat in a duel tonight."

Ron: "."

Hermione had closed the book by then. She had finally finished reading the entire book and said to Dumbledore somewhat sullenly, "Professor, this kind of dark magic textbook has no practical use whatsoever."

"If the theory were useful, so many wizards wouldn't die from black magic every year."

"Could you tell me who the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is this year?"
