Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

A person who should have died long ago has now reappeared before them.

This whole thing is absurd in its essence. That was a former king, the true king of a country, who is now standing behind Tom.

Voldemort couldn't believe just how terrifying Tom's teacher really was.

Even King Arthur could only help Tom, so what kind of relationship exists between Merlin and Tom?

Despite his high self-esteem, Voldemort knew he was not yet qualified to fight Merlin.

If he had Merlin's strength, he would have wiped out Hogwarts long ago, instead of lingering on like this today.

What's most worrying is Tom's teacher.

Voldemort tapped his fingers lightly on the chair.

He wondered if it was too late for him to build a good relationship with Tom.

Although he had clashed with Tom several times before, every era has its heroes. He had been a hero once, and now Tom was a hero too; it's inevitable that some friction would occur between masters.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Voldemort shook his head vigorously.

That seems unlikely. I almost killed Tom back then, and besides...

Voldemort recalled the expression in Tom's eyes every time he saw him.

That's disdain for oneself.

It seems that Tom never really looked him in the eye from beginning to end, treating him like a clown.

"You evil bastard, if you had this much strength all along, why didn't you say so sooner!"

If Tom had revealed his acquaintance with Merlin from the beginning, Voldemort would never be in his current predicament.

but……

Voldemort remembered that the guy had told him before that he was Merlin.

At the time, Voldemort thought it was just a joke, and he thought Tom was just playing tricks. Now it seems that the boomerang has finally hit him.

Voldemort thought about it and realized that he really didn't have any way to deal with Tom right now.

If we had to put it into words, perhaps the only way would be for him to abandon darkness and embrace light, but Tom and Hogwarts, including those in the Ministry of Magic, would not agree to a Dark Lord joining the righteous path.

Voldemort rubbed his forehead vigorously with both hands.

Is there any other way?

For example, could we find someone to get rid of Tom?

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Voldemort almost laughed at himself.

Even Tom, whom he himself couldn't get rid of, how could he expect his servants to have that ability?

If they encountered Tom, they would probably just flee in panic.

If Tom were to take things seriously and show even a little bit of his strength, his servants would just be treated like toys and kicked aside.

What if... I could bring Tom to my side?

To be honest, he desperately needs a strong assistant right now, and Tom is not only strong, but also has great talent and a powerful background.

If Tom joins Voldemort's side, Voldemort will have a chance to dominate Hogwarts, or even the entire wizarding world.

"I remember Tom had a sister named Isabel, didn't he?" Voldemort suddenly asked.

"Master, to be precise, Tom has two younger sisters, one named Isabel and the other named Misha. They both come from the same orphanage."

Furthermore, Isabel's identity is somewhat special; she is not a real human, but rather Misha's magical creation.

However, this magical creation now has its own emotions and is starting to resemble a person.

"Master, are you going to harm Isabel and the others?"

Voldemort was immediately shocked. He looked at the group of people in front of him with fear: "Don't talk nonsense, and don't make decisions on your own. I'm not going to attack Isabel. I want to win her over!"

Remember, no matter what Isabel does or says to you, you must never lay a hand on her or offend this little girl.

All you have to do is give Isabel everything she needs.

"Oh, and Misha is absolutely not to be offended either. Even if those two wanted you to be their dogs, you'd have to kneel before them." Voldemort's words carried an undeniable air of authority.

The Death Eaters exchanged glances. They hadn't expected Voldemort to say such a thing; it didn't seem to fit their master's character at all.

Their master was always fearless, and even when Harry Potter was given to Voldemort, his astonished reaction showed that he had never been so afraid of Harry.

"Master, why is this?" the Death Eaters couldn't help but ask.

They felt it was still too outrageous.

If these words were told to the other Death Eaters, they would rather die than do such a servile thing.

If they are told to kneel, they have to kneel. Where is their dignity as Death Eaters?

"You don't need to know the reason. In short, if you want to live, do as I say." Voldemort glanced at the man coldly.

A bunch of idiots, still can't they see the problem clearly?

The Ministry of Magic sent so many people to capture Tom, and in the end, they only met such a tragic end. And you still want to fight against Tom?

Even as a Dark Lord, he didn't dare to confront Tom at this time. What makes you, a mere bunch of Death Eaters, dare to have such courage?

Voldemort suddenly frowned.

He felt that the reason he had failed before was most likely because he had such an incompetent group of subordinates.

How much can a group of people who can't even see the big picture achieve when they're working under your command?

We need to find a chance to fire these idiots.

But now is not the time; he has not yet been fully resurrected.

If he could, Voldemort would love to trade his men for Tom to come to his side.

With a henchman like Tom, he wouldn't need to be afraid of anyone in the future, and he would also have the opportunity to communicate with Tom's teacher.

He felt that it would take his magic to the next level.

Although his Death Eaters didn't understand the implications, they still chose to obey Voldemort's orders.

They left the room without saying much, but once outside, they all looked at each other.

"Why do you think our master makes us do these things?"

Could it be that the owner is afraid of Tom?

As far as I can recall, the master has never said anything like kneeling down to try and win someone's favor, has he?

"Don't talk nonsense. How could the master be afraid of others?"

As the most powerful dark wizard in the wizarding world, it's always others who fear their master; it's never the other way around—the master will never fear anyone else!

He glanced at the Death Eater spouting nonsense and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Does this guy even have a brain?

Voldemort is right next to you, and you still dare to cricket at him like that? Don't you consider Voldemort human?

If that guy finds out, we'll both die here. If you want to die, fine, but don't drag me into it.

The reason he chose to follow Voldemort was because he believed that once Voldemort was resurrected, Dumbledore of Hogwarts would soon die.

Although it is said that Voldemort's greatest fear was Professor Dumbledore, they knew...

That old fellow Dumbledore looks like he's on his deathbed. How many more years can he live?

However, Voldemort looks much younger than he actually is; he could easily live for several hundred years, or even a thousand.

By then, Dumbledore would have long since turned to ashes.

Who is capable of replacing Dumbledore?

There are only two or three truly capable professors at Hogwarts, but apart from Dumbledore, there are practically none who can be considered truly outstanding.

You can't expect Harry Potter to become a revered wizard in just a few years, can you?

If he could defeat Voldemort in such a short time, Dumbledore might as well just hand over the headmaster's position to him.

Some of these Death Eaters were fighting to save their lives, while others were chasing a better future.

But for the vast majority of people, survival is the primary concern.

"How do we contact Isabel?"

“How would I know? But we have other things to do before contacting Isabel.”

At the very least, we should know what Isabelle likes.

We can't possibly go to him empty-handed and ask him to join us Death Eaters; that's impossible.

Isabel has an older sister, family, and a powerful Tom by her side.

We need to figure out a way to win him over. We should go to Hogwarts beforehand and see what kind of things Isabel likes.

The Death Eater next to him nodded in agreement.

indeed.

"Shall we go to Hogwarts now?"

"Are you planning to go there as a Death Eater? It just so happens that Hogwarts is now full of people from the Ministry of Magic. They can't catch Tom, so they can just take you back to the Ministry of Magic to boost their performance."

"..."

"So what do you think we should do now?"

"Of course we should go shopping first. Isabel is still a child after all. As long as we buy things that girls and children like, there will always be something that Isabel will like."

To win a child's heart, you must first win their stomach and their preferences!

"Should all Death Eaters depart now?"

"Of course, let's set off now!"

While you're at it, go and find a few people to see what Isabel's daily life at school is like.

We need to understand her better before we can make a judgment!

"Understood, I'll make the arrangements right away."
