Chapter 162: Modify Memory

At that time, he harnessed the basilisk and accidentally killed a baby Ravenclaw witch.

It was his first killing, and I'm still impressed to this day.

The fragility of life was laid bare in front of him, and the fear of death turned into a seed that was quietly planted in his heart.

It was also because of this that he split his soul and made the first Horcrux, Tom Riddle's diary.

Due to the death of the witch, Hogwarts is under extreme pressure.

Eventually, the school board could not resist the pressure and passed a resolution to temporarily close Hogwarts.

This was unacceptable to Voldemort at the time.

Once Hogwarts is closed, where else can he go?

Do you want to go back to that orphanage, where there is only a trace of warmth and is full of bad memories?

Fortunately, there was a big stupid man in Hogwarts who secretly raised an eight-eyed giant spider, and he discovered it.

This is a XXXXX-level magical animal, and the eggs of the eight-eyed giant spider are Class A prohibited trade items.

When Voldemort found out about this, he was shocked, and he didn't know how this stupid big guy got this thing.

Having to sacrifice him for the sake of Hogwarts, Voldemort told the professor that he was the murderer, raised a dangerous magical animal, and saw him feeding it.

Eventually, the Ministry of Magic, under pressure from public opinion, came to arrest him and imprisoned him in Azkaban, but failed to capture the eight-eyed spider.

Hogwarts was spared the danger of closure, and Voldemort received an award for best contribution.

Soon after, Armando Duppet, the headmaster at the time, resigned due to the incident in the secret room, and Dumbledore, whom Voldemort loved and hated, became the headmaster of Hogwarts.

Voldemort remembered, somewhat forgetting his brother's name, but he seemed to remember his last name Hagrid.

Later, Dumbledore seemed to bail him out, but still broke the man's wand in accordance with the law.

Now the stupid big man seems to be doing well, and Dumbledore gives him a job to stay at Hogwarts.

"Why were you so nice to him and let him stay? What about me? Isn't it good enough? Or do you only like Gryffindor students?"

Voldemort's eyes narrowed, his face a little gloomy, and the magic in his body surged because of it.

Everyone in the hall bowed their heads, looked at the table, and remained silent.

After a while, Voldemort came to his senses, looked at them, and asked:

"How's the Ministry of Magic?"

"A lot of neutral staff have guided us, but there are still a lot of diehards."

His men replied.

The current Ministry of Magic is made up of three factions, namely the staunch Dumbledore supporters, the neutral faction, and those who have fallen to Voldemort's side.

The Neutrals are wizarding families that have gradually abandoned the idea of pureblood, actively embracing new ideas in the wizarding world, and have certain rights in the Ministry of Magic.

Voldemort is a wizard "aristocracy" who adheres to the concept of pure blood, and they believe that their blood is extremely noble, and they have the wealth and connections accumulated by their ancestors.

Families marry each other and have an "intimate" relationship.

They are rich and powerful, but with the change of the times, their power gradually declines, and they have less and less voice in the Ministry of Magic, and many times they need to use money to open the way in order to achieve some of their own goals.

They are more or less connected to many of the Neutral families, or even related to each other.

Before Voldemort was born, they could basically be counted as one.

Through each other's financial resources and power, they complement each other to achieve their own goals, or seek profit or power, and the cooperation is very harmonious.

Of course, the current relationship is also okay.

After all, they all knew what kind of organization the Death Eaters were.

They are all hiding their identities.

Cautiously probe the target before pulling them into the line.

Hearing this answer, Voldemort frowned,

Then he said:

"Proceed carefully, and make sure that the Ministry of Magic is gradually in our hands......

As he spoke, Voldemort picked up the drink in front of him, and he knew that it was the magic drink from the Hogwarts store, Aledford.

Gracefully raising his wand, he made a stroke at Alford, unscrewing the cap with ease and taking a sip.

Although the drink didn't do much to him, he liked it, and he tasted the taste of death leaping from it.

"As you can afford to be Professor Sgrahorn, you're still so good at potions. Well? Horcruxes? My dear professor, you're not going to tell anyone else the secrets of your favorite students."

The corners of Voldemort's mouth curled in a dangerous arc.

At this point, Professor Sgrahorn, who was far away at the Hogwarts Benefit, shuddered, not knowing what was happening.

"I feel like I'm going to boil myself a bottle of cold medicine when I go back."

Professor Sgrahorn thought so.

"Minerva, have you applied for all the students' accounts?"

He asked Professor McGonagall across from him.

"No, and I don't know what's wrong, those elves don't agree to our application. Shouldn't they be happy?"

Professor McGonagall complained.

This thing is indeed a bit unusual.

Gringotts goblins are magical creatures who love money, not to say they love money, they just think that what they make belongs to them, and wizards only have the right to use it.

The currency of the wizarding world is made by them. It is equivalent to the sorcerers' coinage power in their hands.

Therefore, they take it for granted that the Golden Gallons, the Silver Sico, and the Bronze Nats are all their own.

There is a fee for opening a personal vault at Gringotts, and there is a fee every once in a while.

Gringotts also offers different stalls of personal vaults according to the needs of different objects, with completely different security measures and follow-up services, as well as different fees.

However, in official presences like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Ministry of Magic, Gringotts offers the most exclusive vaults at no cost.

So, for example, when Hogwarts opened a vault for the students, it was all about sending money to Gringotts, and there was no reason for them to disagree.

"Let Albus go, someone should be stumbling on us."

Professor Sgrahorn said.

"Hmm."

Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement.

It is estimated that some wizarding families have made up something, and the inspection caused by Dumbledore's visit to Fallen Alley last time touched a lot of interests.

Professor McGonagall has also received letters from some of the Board of Trustees saying that they are not having a good cash flow and may need to postpone the funding of Hogwarts.

The words are full of apologies and sincerity, and the reasons are valid, but everyone knows what the truth is.

Now, there are even people who covet the interests of Huimin stores and try to gain a part of the right to speak.

Time passed, and Professor McGonagall brought up the matter with Dumbledore.

When Dumbledore found out, he hesitated for a few days before going to Gringotts.

With Dumbledore personally intervening, the matter was quickly resolved, and the children's accounts were also completed, and they could transfer their share of property into it at any time.

They decided to give them the keys to the vault when school started, and at the same time write to their parents to let them know.

Shortly after Dumbledore appeared, Professor McGonagall received another letter from the trustees.

The words are sincere and sincere, saying that the children's learning is the most important thing, and that they have already scraped together enough funds to provide financial assistance to Hogwarts at any time.

Professor McGonagall smiled coldly, and replied to them in a thankful tone, but not as enthusiastically as before.

They counted the recent revenue of the Hogwarts Benefit, and excluding costs and some necessary expenses, the income was very good.

Just open 5

The day's income is enough to consume a semester of Potions class.

Of course, this consumption refers to the Potions class with the aid of the Forbidden Forest Herbs. However, it also includes grades 1 to 7.

————————————

"Professor Hogwarts was attacked by the Death Eaters and nearly died?"

Professor Sgrahorn, who was lying on the bed in the Charms Injury Department on the fifth floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, saw the headline on the Daily Prophet, and the whole thing was not good.

"What did he mean he almost died! I'm just getting some injuries......

Cursing in his head, his eyes were still on the newspaper report.

That day, he was invited by a friend to the Cauldron Bar to discuss a custom potion.

Professor Sgrahorn went to the Cauldron for an appointment, and as he walked some distance in front of the bar, a black mist enveloped him.

A pair of scarlet eyes flickered in the black mist.

Before he could resist, he lost consciousness.

The moment the black fog appeared, the pedestrians on the road were stunned, and several astute wizards immediately released the [Spark Charm] into the sky.

The Aurors, who were stationed in Diagon Alley, sensed the fireworks in the sky and hurried to the scene, but did not dare to step forward, but only surrounded the black mist, clenched his wand, and watched cautiously inside.

Professor Sgrahorn's friend, who witnessed all this, saw that the Aurors did not make a big move, and he hurriedly stepped forward and told them that this was the Potions professor at Hogwarts and the head of Slytherin, and told them to hurry up and rescue them.

At this moment, not only the Aurors, but also the wizards present were stunned.

In broad daylight, someone openly attacked a professor at Hogwarts in Diagon Alley, and he was also the Headmaster.

A sense of urgency and danger arose in their minds.

"Passed out!"

The Aurors glanced at each other, and the leader made a gesture, and together they unleashed the [Knockback Spell] at the black mist.

The black mist was like a mysterious monster, devouring their [Knockback Spell] without stirring up any waves.

The Auror squad watched nervously as the captain was about to make his next move, when several [Knockback Spells] flew out of the black mist and hit all the Aurors.

With great force, the Aurors were thumped off the ground and flew backwards.

The passers-by hurriedly dodged, but some of the hapless ones used the Aurors as cushions and crashed into the wall in their place.

Many of the nearby shops were knocked out and damaged.

There were even people who flew onto the streets of Muggles, causing damage to a small car, causing Muggle riots.

Shortly after the Knockback Spell flew out, the black mist lifted, and Professor Sgrahorn lay motionless on the ground, already unconscious.

The friend who asked him to come out hurriedly stepped forward and forcefully released several [Spark Charms] into the sky, and immediately sent Professor Sgrahorn to the St. Goman's Hospital for Magic and Magic.

It was a moment before the other Auror squads flew over on a flying sweep, accompanied by the Magical Accidents and Disasters Division's Memory Erasing Command, which dealt with Muggle memories.

It took a lot of effort for them to deal with the Muggle memories involved.

Voldemort personally carried out the attack, but he did not inform anyone, only he was aware of it.

After enveloping Professor Sgrahorn with a black mist, he immediately cast a spell that knocked him unconscious.

Voldemort was still very careful about the professor who once held him in high esteem, and he didn't want to hurt him, provided he didn't reveal his secret.

Voldemort used memory magic to scrutinize Professor Sgrahorn's memories and found no leaks of Horcrux information.

But he learns of the Ravenclaw crown that he has made into a Horcrux.

From the professor's memory, he saw that the crown was worn on a ptarmigan.

Moreover, that ptarmigan is the king of the forbidden forest that has been rumored recently, Lei.

in memory

In the frame, he could feel the other powers of the King of the Forbidden Forest, as well as the crown that had been completely cleaned.

Aside from a few basic outlines, Voldemort could hardly find any resemblance to the original crown of thorns.

He carefully copied this memory, and was about to make something to store it when several [Knockback Spells] struck, and he had to give up his current actions and defend himself.

A little annoyed in his heart, but not wanting to make a big deal out of it, he sensed the location of those nasty Aurors and sent each of them a three-percent [Knockback Spell].

It also contained his deep malice, in addition to the original effect of the [Knockback Spell], there were some extraordinarily side effects.

Instead of extracting the Professor's memory, he entered Professor Sgrahorn's memory, found the scene he had asked the question, and revised it.

On that occasion, he asked Professor Sgrahorn about the specifics of how the Horcrux was made, and how many times a human soul could split, and how to split it.

At school, Voldemort had always been Professor Sgrahorn's favorite child, so he only looked at him for a moment before telling him to answer.

In this regard, Voldemort made a modification.

He changed the content of the question to the resurrection potion in the resurrection ritual, such as how the potion should be made, whether there were any substitutes for the materials in it, and so on.

In his revision, Professor Sgrahorn also looked at him for a moment, and then told him about his research results.

At the same time, he was told that these resurrection rituals were useless, that they needed the soul of the resurrected person to succeed, and that they were not in the state of a ghost.

Immediately afterward, Voldemort naturally asked the question of the soul.

Professor Sgrahorn told him that when the body carrying the soul dies, the soul is marked by death, and such a soul cannot be resurrected.

Only souls fleeing death can be resurrected, but it comes at a great cost, is unbearable, and will mourn for the rest of their lives.

When Voldemort asks how to escape, Professor Sgrahorn impatiently chases him away.

When he was gone, Professor Sgrahorn let out a sigh of relief, and he was afraid that he really couldn't help but tell him how to do it.

Who called that the child he valued the most!

Much of the content in it was woven by Voldemort to guide Professor Sgrahorn's own memories.
