Chapter 1489: Voldemort leaving Hogwarts
Evan came to the spirit, the information of the house elf home.
According to the schedule, Riddle should have graduated from Hogwarts. In the school, there are many things that he dare not do and cannot do due to Dumbledore's close attention, especially after the secret room time, he knows that he has aroused Dumbledore's suspicion again, and he will definitely be more careful and will not do anything.
It is conceivable that once graduating from Hogwarts, adult Voldemort will become unscrupulous.
Because without Dumbledore's surveillance, he didn't have as many restrictions.
In the memories we are about to see, Riddle has graduated and left Hogwarts. Sure enough, Dumbledore said, "I hope you understand that as he gets older and more powerful, the situation before us now becomes more mysterious and weird. If finding evidence of young Riddle is difficult, finding someone who can remember an adult Voldemort is almost impossible. In fact, I doubt that there is a living person other than himself who can tell us more about his life after leaving Hogwarts.
"However, I'm glad I found this memory. This is also a very important memory, as it may have revealed to us another of Voldemort's Horcruxes, as well as information about the home of the house-elves. As he spoke, he took out a small crystal bottle, the color of the memory inside was not that pearl white, but a sticky pale yellow, "I hope you don't get tired of sneaking into other people's memories, because this memory is different from what you saw before, it comes from a very old house-elf, her name is Hao Qi." ”
"House-elf Hao Qi?" Evan asked.
"Yes, the family she served was the last descendant of Helga Hufflepuff in the world, a bit like Slytherin and the former Gaunt family. Dumbledore said, "It's a very important memory, but before I look at it, I have to tell you how Voldemort left Hogwarts." ”
"Well, as you might have guessed, he made it to seventh grade with the best grades on every exam. The students around me were thinking about what career they wanted to pursue after graduation, and almost all of them thought that Tom Riddle would have amazing achievements, he was a prefect, a top student, and had received special awards from the school. I know of several teachers, including Professor Slughorn, who suggested that he join the Ministry of Magic and offered to introduce him, but he refused. Later, the faculty learned that he had gone to work at the Borgin Burke store. ”
"Borgin Burke?" Harry was stunned for a moment, this was the first thing that surprised him again tonight, Dumbledore said a lot of secret things about Voldemort that were not known to him, and every single thing that came out was enough to cause an uproar, even if Harry was mentally prepared, it would take a long time to digest it when he heard it all at once.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ai Wen beside him with admiration, and Ai Wen's expression basically didn't change much......
"Professor, you mean Voldemort worked at the Borgin Burke shop?"
"That's right, Borgin Bock, it's the dark magic shop we're already familiar with. Dumbledore said calmly, "When you enter Hao Qi's memories, you will see what attraction that place has to him, but this is not Voldemort's first choice, no one knew about it at the time, and I was one of the few people who heard the old headmaster talk about it." Voldemort first approached Professor Duppert, my former Headmaster of Hogwarts, and asked if he could stay at Hogwarts to teach. ”
"He wants to stay here?" Harry was even more surprised that Voldemort wanted to stay at Hogwarts!
It's incredible, and from the previous description, he thought that Voldemort was planning to leave Hogwarts as soon as possible and escape Dumbledore's custody!
Evan also thought about it quickly, there was no doubt that Hogwarts was very attractive to Voldemort.
If it were him, he would have chosen to stay at Hogwarts. Many people think that Evan is so strong, why should he stay at Hogwarts to go to school. In fact, there are many mysteries of magic waiting to be explored and discovered in this ancient magic school......
"Yes, Voldemort wants to stay at Hogwarts, and I'm sure he has several reasons, even though he didn't tell Professor Duppert any of them. Dumbledore replied, "First of all, and very important, Voldemort has more affection for this school than he does for any other person. We have every reason to believe that Hogwarts is the happiest place for him, the first and only place where he feels like home. ”
"Second, the castle is a stronghold of ancient magic, which is not many places in the wizarding world at the moment, and Voldemort undoubtedly knows more secrets than most students, but he may feel that there are still many unsolved mysteries and treasures of magic to be discovered. ”
"Third, as a teacher, he can have a lot of influence over the young wizards. The idea probably came from Professor Slughorn, who was the one he had the best relationship with. Slughorn showed him how much of an impact a teacher could have, and I never thought that Voldemort was going to stay at Hogwarts for the rest of his life, I thought he saw it as a good place to recruit and raise a team for himself. ”
Recruiting Death Eaters from Hogwarts is much more reliable than finding outlaws, giants, werewolves, vampires, and whatever.
"Of course, Voldemort didn't get the job in the end. Dumbledore continued, "Professor Dippert says he's only eighteen, too young, but he's welcome to come back in two years, if he still wants to teach by then." ”
"And what do you think about this, Professor?"
"Very unsettling. Dumbledore said, "I sincerely advise Armando not to hire him, and I have not given the reasons I have just given, because Professor Duper likes Voldemort very much and is convinced of his honesty, but I do not want Voldemort to return to this school, especially to be given a position of power." ”
Dumbledore had a high reputation at the time and was no ordinary professor. Shortly thereafter, he traveled alone to Newmengard, where he defeated the mighty Grindelwald, ending the chaos caused by the first Dark Lord Grindelwald and the massive war across European wizarding world, and taking over as Headmaster of Hogwarts.
So, his opinion was very important and greatly influenced Professor Dippert's decision.
When he became headmaster, Voldemort had no chance of returning to Hogwarts.
In other words, the reason why Voldemort did not teach at Hogwarts after graduation was mainly due to Dumbledore's obstruction.
"Professor, what position did Voldemort want to get in the first place, and what class did he want to teach?" asked Harry subconsciously.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dumbledore had not yet answered before he thought of the answer.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts was taught by an old professor named Galatia Meles, who had been at Hogwarts for nearly fifty years. Dumbledore said, "In Slughorn's memories just now, we all saw that Voldemort already knew about Professor Meles' imminent retirement......"
