Chapter 307: Voldemort's Solicitation
Rove and Voldemort are indeed reunited after a long absence.
The last time the two of them saw each other was two years ago, when they used a time turner, going back from last year's Easter to Halloween the year before, and then met in the Forbidden Forest.
With Rove's 'help', Peter Pettigrew eventually died in the Screaming Shack, and Voldemort failed to resurrect himself, blowing up Hermione's time turner, causing Rove to be swept back to the Big Four era.
So strictly speaking, Rove and Voldemort haven't seen each other for a thousand years!
In tonight's reunion, Rove is still the same Rove, but Voldemort has successfully completed his resurrection with the help of the Death Eaters.
In fact, it didn't go so well, the Dark Lord still has that ugly face without a nose, his appearance has not changed, but his height is very short, only a little over a meter, like a dwarf.
This height is obviously very abnormal.
Rove thought for a moment and asked, "You...... How did it get like this? ”
He asked casually, not expecting Voldemort to answer, but after a moment of silence, the Dark Lord really hoarsely explained:
"I was conceived in Penny Evans's womb, and she only had enough nutrients in her body to grow so tall in my new body."
If Penny had been pregnant for ten months and Voldemort had absorbed enough nutrients, he would have been born with a fully developed body, but after only ten minutes of pregnancy, he would have sucked Penny dry and only had his current size.
Of course, he has been resurrected, and it only takes a few months of cultivation to regain his adult form.
So short is short, it's not a big deal.
When Rove heard Voldemort's words, his eyes lit up, and the Dark Lord chose Aunt Harry as a resurrection medicine after he couldn't get Harry.
But listening to Voldemort, this medicine is not as simple as taking some blood, but needs to grow in Penny's belly?
Well, in a way, aren't Voldemort and Harry half-cousins?
Rove was curious and wanted to continue asking, but Voldemort's lipsless mouth twitched into a smile and interrupted:
"Scamander, I've answered your questions, it's your turn to solve my doubts."
Rove raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "What doubts?" ”
"How did you know ......" Voldemort's red eyes gleamed in the darkness, and he said in a cold voice, "My hiding place is in the Black family cemetery?" ”
Since possessing the Dementor and manipulating it to Azkaban to rescue the Death Eaters, Voldemort has spent most of his time hiding in the Black family cemetery.
And those who know are only a few people such as Bella!
Voldemort was really curious, how Scamander knew all this.
Rove of course learned about it from Harry, and Harry was connected to Voldemort's consciousness by relying on the fragment of his soul on his forehead, and then knew all this.
In fact, there is no need for Rove to tell him, Voldemort himself will realize this in the near future, but it does not prevent the young man from talking nonsense now:
"I learned from Lucius Malfoy, and I don't know how he knows, you can ask him, but he's your subordinate."
Voldemort's hollow, indifferent eyes stared at Rove's eyes, and the boy stared at him coldly without fear.
Rove knew that Voldemort was using the Dementor to find out if he was lying, and although he didn't know Occlumency, he captured the Nightmare Tapir and obtained its magic that year on the Mayflower...... Memories flood.
A teenager can construct a false memory in his mind that is extremely real, and the effect is similar to that of Occlumency, to resist the prying eyes of the defence.
This magically constructed memory is something that even a natural dementor like Margaery can't see, and he is confident that he can withstand Voldemort's detection.
Voldemort did see the young man and Malfoy communicating through Rove's eyes, and he looked gloomy and decided to wait for Malfoy to arrive here and then torture him.
Of course, if he still dares to come!
Rove didn't give Voldemort much time to think, and continued to ask:
"I wonder how the hell you got back to life?"
"It's complicated." Voldemort said softly.
He had a troublesome look on his face, but he was happy to share the process with Scamander.
He conquered death and completed the resurrection, how can such a great masterpiece of art not be appreciated by the audience?
Wouldn't that be a pity!
Since Scamander appeared at his regeneration party, he was naturally the only audience.
"I need three pills for my resurrection: blood relatives, beloved, and mortal enemies." Voldemort whispered.
"Take the bones of blood relatives as bones, take the flesh and blood of beloved ones as flesh and blood, and then use the body of a mortal enemy as a container for gestation."
"I chose Penny Evans as the container...... First, he asked Bella to write a letter to Penny and trick her into bringing her here under the pretext of participating in the Triwizard Tournament. ”
Voldemort's face showed a cruel look of pride, and he said:
"Then I used my mother's bones and Bella's flesh and blood as two other herbs to make that ancient resurrection potion......"
Rove was stunned and said, "Your mother's bones? ”
Dumbledore once said that after the death of Voldemort's mother, Merope, the body of the orphanage was buried in a cemetery near the Wu orphanage.
Many years ago, orphanages and cemeteries were demolished and turned into Muggle office buildings.
For those tombs from orphanages, the Muggle government burned the bones to ashes and eventually buried them at sea.
Rove always thought that Merope's bones had been buried in the sea, didn't he?
The young man looked at a stone tomb not far away, and he suddenly woke up and said, "Your mother's grave is in the Black cemetery?" ”
"That's right, Scamander, you're really smart." Voldemort bowed his head slightly, glanced at the dark cemetery, and said slowly:
"When my mother died, she was buried in a dilapidated Muggle cemetery, how could I possibly let her, a noble Slytherin descendant, stay in that place forever?"
"So, many years ago, I asked Bella to help me move her tomb here."
Rove sighed softly, no wonder Voldemort chose this place for his resurrection.
In this way, everything made sense, including the prophecy made by Professor Trelawney:
Voldemort was destined to rise again...... With the help of three women...... One person is born because of ...... One person died...... A man by love......
The three women are Merope Gaunt, Penny Evans, and Bella Black.
At this moment, the fog in the distance completely dissipated, and both Rove and Voldemort looked over and found that only four of the Death Eaters were still alive, and Bella was rushing to help them.
With such heavy casualties, Voldemort's snake face suddenly distorted, but he quickly regained his indifferent numb appearance, and said in a hoarse voice:
Scamander...... You have slain many Death Eaters tonight, and they are my most faithful servants. ”
"Your servants attacked the Quidditch World Cup and burned the Durmstrang with fire." Rove shrugged and said:
"I'm just retaliating with a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye."
"A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye." Voldemort smiled, his red eyes shining.
"Scamander, to be honest, I really appreciate you."
"The first time we met, I was attached to Quirrell, and you, who were only first-year students, and you prevented me from getting the Philosopher's Stone...... I've admired you ever since. ”
"You're still a pure-blood wizard, of noble birth and talent...... I really don't want to kill you. ”
Voldemort stared at Rove with his blood-red eyes, and he stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture and said:
"So, I want you to hand over your wand, prostrate at my feet, and swear allegiance to me...... I can spare your life. ”
"This is also your last chance to live, or I'll let you know......" Voldemort pursed his lips and said coldly:
"The taste of death!"
