Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Mr. Lockhart has my complete trust," said Dumbledore. "He performed well during his tenure at our school, demonstrating his strong magical abilities and profound knowledge."

"I'm willing to vouch for him, Mr. Lockhart is definitely not a Death Eater," Dumbledore said, sealing the matter.

"Okay, since Dumbledore said so..." Moody cast a glance at Gilderoy Lockhart again with his magic eye, "Then I choose to believe him too."

"So what the **** is going on here?" Cornelius Fudge interjected. "Why did Voldemort show up at Hogwarts?"

"I think this may require Mr. Lockhart to explain it to us." Dumbledore took another sip of the tea cup, then leaned back on the back, his eyes full of "Please start your show" look .

"Yes, please allow me to explain." Tiera said, "It all starts with a child named Tiera."

"Oh?" Dumbledore straightened up, "What does this have to do with our little Tiera?"

"I felt it on the first day I came to Hogwarts, there is a powerful dark magic power lingering here." Tiera cleared his throat and said, "I think Mr. Headmaster should have noticed it too."

"There are too many dark magic powers entrenched in Hogwarts. I don't know which one you are talking about?" Dumbledore asked, "Please be more specific."

"The one on Tiera." Tiera said, "I will not list the specific process first. In short, after I made bold assumptions and carefully collected evidence, I finally determined the source of the black magic power— "

"This black magic power comes from Tiera," Tiera said.

"Oh, okay, please continue, and tell me in detail what kind of black magic power." Dumbledore peeled off a cockroach candy and put it in his mouth.

"The crown of Ravenclaw," Tiera said, then reached out and picked up a teacup on Dumbledore's desk—

"Please put down that teacup, Mr. Lockhart." Dumbledore said suddenly, "that was Nicolemay's hundredth birthday present to me."

"Oh, okay..." Tiera retracted her hand in embarrassment, then picked up a piece of paper on Dumbledore's desk—

The thin paper was twisted and deformed in Tiera's hands, turning into a silver crown inlaid with sky blue gems.

"Everyone knows that I am a student from Ravenclaw College, so I recognized the relic of the founder of the college at a glance." Tiera said.

"And now what about this relic?" Cornelius Fudge asked.

"Destroyed," Tiera said. "That's exactly what I'm talking about. Voldemort cast a kind of magic on Ravenclaw's crown... I think it's called Horcrux."

"Wait a minute—" Dumbledore called suddenly, almost knocking over the teacup.

"Well... I'm a little tired, and I'm sure everyone at the Ministry of Magic must have their own business to do—" Dumbledore said, "Mr. Lockhart, please briefly summarize, and then let's all do our own thing. Well, anyway, Voldemort has been driven away anyway, I don't think we need to waste our energy on this kind of thing."

"All in all, our little genius, Mr. Tiera, encountered the Ravenclaw's crown at an old stall in the Muggle world before entering school." Tiera told the story she made up.

"Ravenclaw's crown has been stained by Voldemort's extremely evil black magic. For Muggles, it is only a beautiful crown, but for wizards, it has a fatal allure, and right here Time--"

"A little wizard who has not yet entered school passed by - Tiera was quickly attracted by this strange crown and took it from the old thing stall."

"There is no doubt about what happened after that. In the face of Voldemort's whispers and temptations that even adult wizards could not resist, Tierra, a young wizard who had not yet entered the school, also fell under the curse of Voldemort's black magic and became controlled by Voldemort. puppet."

"On the way Tierra entered Hogwarts, Voldemort used Tierra's identity as a child to steal the Philosopher's Stone from the pocket of Hagrid's coat at Hogwarts—" Tiera looked towards Dumbledore, then said, "I think you must have noticed this too?"

"Well... yes, yes." Dumbledore stroked his beard and said somewhat unexpectedly.

"Wait, let me interrupt." Cornelius Fudge interrupted suddenly, "You mean, the Philosopher's Stone was stolen? The one that Dumbledore said was destroyed last year..."

"It's fake," said Dumbledore, pushing up his glasses, "but the Philosopher's Stone is so realistic that it's almost like the real one--if I hadn't seen the real Philosopher's Stone at Nicola May's , I will probably be deceived."

"So it's all about Voldemort behind the scenes?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes." Tiera continued, "Allow me to explain Voldemort's plan. After controlling Tiera, Voldemort originally wanted to use this unschooled little wizard to bury a dark line at Hogwarts, but he didn't. Thinking that when Tiera was going to school, he happened to meet Hagrid who was carrying the Philosopher's Stone, so Voldemort decided to do it, planted a plague curse on Tiera, and then controlled Tiera to put him in Hagrid. The Philosopher's Stone was exchanged on the way to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries."

"After all..." Tiera said with a smile, "No, no, no, no one really thinks that a little wizard who hasn't entered school has the ability to cast such a vicious curse on himself, and then steal the Philosopher's Stone himself. Bar?"

"Where's the fake Philosopher's Stone?" Cornelius Fudge asked.

"It was destroyed by me," Dumbledore said, "but it's not an ordinary fake Philosopher's Stone, right?"

"Yes." Tiera said, "It was a semi-finished product that Voldemort failed to refine."

"No wonder...no wonder I can't even tell the difference..." Dumbledore said.

"Sorry to interrupt again, what about the real Philosopher's Stone?" Cornelius Fudge asked.

"It's also ruined," Tiera said. "This involves Voldemort's next plan."

"Last year, it appeared that Professor Quirrell was parasitized by Voldemort and wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone hidden in Hogwarts, but in fact it was just a smoke bomb released by Voldemort. In fact, Voldemort had already controlled Tiera to start secretly secretly. Making the elixir of life—"

Saying that, Tiera looked at Snape again—

"I think Tiera's potions level must be much higher than that of young wizards of the same age, right? Professor Snape~www.NovelMTL.com~ Tiera asked rhetorically.

"Yes." Snape recalled with a gloomy face, then nodded and said.

"That's right," Tiera said, "that was actually Voldemort training Tiera's potions skills until the end of the semester, when Voldemort thought Tiera's potions skills were good enough to make the Elixir of Immortality. After that, Voldemort asked Quirrell to steal the fake Philosopher's Stone, create a riot, and then let Tiera go to Quirrell's office to take the raw materials for the elixir that Professor Quirrell had purchased in advance. If a young wizard in his grade buys the ingredients for the elixir rashly, it is easy to be suspected, right? In this way, with Professor Quirrell covering up in front of the stage, Voldemort can make the little wizard Tiera, who has been neglected, be ignorant. In the process of unknowingly refining the elixir of immortality, he quietly resurrected himself."

"It's so evil!" Cornelius Fudge said sympathetically, "to take advantage of children."

Several other officials at the Ministry of Magic nodded in agreement.

After seeing that her whitewashing plan was effective, Tiera smiled proudly.

"It's a very clever plan," Dumbledore said. "But according to what you said, Voldemort should have completed his resurrection last summer. What does this have to do with you?"

"But is there any way to bring Voldemort back to life with the elixir of life, right?" Tiera smiled mysteriously, "Voldemort found out after he tried it, that the elixir of life can only make him maintain his life. A little bit stronger than dying can't bring him back to life completely, so he can only keep lurking, relying on Tiera, the front-end puppet, to continue doing things."
