Hogwarts: I am Voldemort - Chapter 512
c512 change
The sudden appearance of Voldemort changed the situation in England again.
MI7 began to urgently adjust its countermeasures. The most intuitive thing is that the hunting operation was suspended in all directions.
This is of course the best news for the wizarding world, especially the Death Eaters.
But Neville did not get carried away because of this, he still carefully maintained the Death Eater organization.
In fact, he acted even more low-key than before, deliberately indulging those who had made trouble before several times to see if they would jump out again.
But no one has said anything about the proposal to resurrect the Crown Horcrux.
It can be seen that the internal disharmony has disappeared because of the appearance of Voldemort.
“Does the Dark Lord have any instructions, Bella?”
Facing Bella who had returned from Voldemort, Neville immediately asked.
“No, just do what you want.”
The answer Bella gave made many people breathe a sigh of relief and made many people’s hearts lift.
Those who breathed a sigh of relief were mostly those who had always supported Neville.
They were afraid that Neville would step down, which would definitely harm their interests.
Those who are wary are those who deny Neville. Of course, they are afraid of Neville’s retaliation.
But Neville didn’t do that. After he determined that there were no more internal disputes, he began to try to regain the lost territory.
The first is Diagon Alley, which he hopes can be reopened so that wizards have a place to buy personal items.
You know, wizards in this period are completely different from those hundreds of years ago.
Wizards have also been affected by the Industrial Revolution. They are no longer as knowledgeable and omnipotent as before, and everyone has their own division of labor.
They need communication, whether physical or spiritual.
If you want to restart Diagon Alley, the first person you need to convince must be the royal family, followed by MI7.
If they have no objections to this, then this matter will be easy to handle.
Of course, there are also MI7 spies to guard against, so Diagon Alley must be completely controlled by wizards and no longer open to Muggles.
Neville quickly found Percy and began discussing the feasibility of this matter with him.
Percy happened to have the same idea, and after discussing it for a while, the two decided to go straight to Buckingham Palace.
The communication was not smooth, but there was nothing wrong with it either.
To be more precise, Buckingham Palace did not give an effective answer.
The Queen directly pushed the matter to MI7, saying that the matter would be decided by MI7.
Percy and Neville didn’t look good after receiving this reply. They even thought it was the queen’s excuse.
MI7, the posture they put up there is to fight them to the end.
Therefore, the two did not go to MI7 to communicate at all. After all, if only the two of them went there, they would probably be killed.
But what they didn’t expect was that instead of going to MI7, MI7 sent someone.
“We agreed to open Diagon Alley and promised not to send spies in.”
When Leonard, the special correspondent of MI7, said this, both Percy and Neville looked at him with strange eyes.
“You two… don’t look at me like that. I’m just conveying orders from above.” Leonard waved his hands guiltily and said.
When he attacked the Ministry of Magic, he almost got Percy killed by a Porto.
Later, during the attack on Hogwarts, Neville was almost killed by the sword.
If the higher-ups hadn’t thought that he had a conversation with Dumbledore and was from Hogwarts, and were determined to let him be the special commissioner, he would really not dare to take risks.
“When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Leonard, what is your purpose?” Percy asked with an unkind expression.
“Uh… I don’t know about this, but the internal trend of MI7 has changed. It is said that for the sake of stability and harmony within the wizarding community in England, it wants to change its previous tough policy and try to be gentle.”
Leonard’s words made Neville and Percy look at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other’s eyes.
“At least that’s the order they got from me. It’s said that they still have the idea of reopening Hogwarts, but because of the previous hostile state, they can’t let it go too far, for fear of you misunderstanding.”
Leonard saw that the two of them were a little loose, so he hurriedly said again.
“We’ll talk about Hogwarts later. If Diagon Alley is opened, it will be in our hands and MI7 will not get involved.” Percy looked at Leonard and said.
“Of course, we come here with sincerity and we will not interfere in this matter.”
Leonard said affirmatively, his attitude was quite sincere.
The matter was settled so smoothly, and the two parties reached a reconciliation to some extent.
Diagon Alley was reopened with the support of the Ministry of Magic and Death Eaters, and wizards reunited here. The lively scene gave the illusion that nothing had changed.
But the wizards who had experienced the war were obviously much more vigilant than before.
They keep their wands within easy reach and carry a revolver for self-defense.
But these preparations were all in vain. MI7 seemed to be really no longer prepared to interfere in the affairs of the wizarding world.
Even if they want to come to Diagon Alley to buy or sell things, they will report it to the Ministry of Magic.
After a few months like this, the wizarding world in England actually returned to peace.
Many wizards have even let down their guard and are talking about the return of the Dark Lord, scaring the nerves of MI7.
“Who isn’t afraid of the Dark Lord?”
A wizard burped from wine and boasted, “When the Dark Lord was in power, I had to hold my lower body with one hand and hold my wand in the other hand even when I went to the toilet. How can those people in MI7 be any better?”
“Old James, please stop bragging. When the dark wizard was in power, you didn’t even dare to touch the wand. This is something everyone knows.”
Another wizard in the Leaky Cauldron said loudly, causing everyone to laugh.
Old James didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, he laughed and said, “I wanted to support the Dark Lord at that time, but it was a pity that he didn’t want to recruit Muggle wizards into the Death Eaters like he does now.”
“Then I don’t see you joining the Death Eaters now. Old James, you are just a coward. You didn’t dare to fight the Death Eaters back then, and now you don’t dare to fight MI7.”
Another person revealed old James’s background, causing this guy to take a sip of butterbeer in dissatisfaction.
While these people were arguing, a tall figure was drinking in the corner of the bar.
It was Hagrid, and sitting next to him were some Hogwarts professors, including the current headmaster McGonagall.
“Maybe it’s time to reopen Hogwarts.” Hagrid said in a low voice, and put his huge wine glass on the table, “I’ll go tell Percy, we have a good relationship, and ask him to contact MI7 Talk about it.”
Several other professors at the wine table looked at Mag. Obviously, she had the most say in this matter.
“Wait a minute, I don’t understand the purpose of MI7. They changed too quickly.” Mag still remained cautious. This was due to her character.
“They must be afraid of Voldemort. Voldemort will protect Hogwarts. I have drank with him and I know him.”
Hagrid, who was already a little over the top, spoke loudly, causing many people in the hall to hear the name “Voldemort”.
But unlike before, no one is afraid of this name anymore.
On the contrary, today’s wizards feel a sense of security when they hear this name.
