Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 739
Meanwhile, on the Hogwarts campus...

Voldemort, who infiltrated Hogwarts in his juvenile form, lived in constant fear.

Voldemort immediately realized he had been exposed when Tyrell brought Briram from the library to the Dark Arts Laboratory that day.

He immediately severed his connection with the curse and cleared away any traces of dark magic. He then immediately set up a counterspell that would activate if anyone tried to trace back to him, destroying any traces of the curse left on the material level.

Voldemort continued to impersonate Brendan Carson with growing anxiety, knowing that every action he took required caution.

He was secretly relieved once again that he had already made arrangements for the location of the curse medium, ensuring that no clues were left there.

However, he still could not let his guard down, because Voldemort knew all too well how terrifying divine beings could be.

After he embarked on his ascension ritual, after he studied Tyrell's "Diary of Ascension," and after he transformed his Horcruxes into his younger and younger selves, Voldemort began to gain a completely new understanding of Tyrell's cunning, treachery, and sophisticated schemes.

Do nothing now. Do nothing.
Voldemort told himself this in his heart.

Do not try to steal the magic stone again.
Perhaps there's a Tiera waiting for you right next to the Philosopher's Stone.

Don't try to leave now, because anything you do will attract Tiera's attention.
Voldemort believed that although Tyrell had no evidence, she must have discovered that he had somehow infiltrated Hogwarts.

It was only a matter of time before Tiera suspected the students.

The best course of action is to focus on the final exams, and then use the summer vacation as an excuse to leave Hogwarts.
Fortunately, final exams are approaching, so as long as we stay calm for a while—"Hey! Carson!" Brireem suddenly ran out from behind and slapped Voldemort on the shoulder.

"Ah!" Startled, Voldemort dropped all the books he was holding.

"Yes, yes, it's Blairim!" Voldemort barely managed to refrain from tearing Blairim to pieces after recognizing him behind him.

"Sorry, sorry, Carson, I, I was just joking." Seeing Voldemort's strong reaction, Brirem felt a little embarrassed and squatted down to help Voldemort pick up the books he had dropped.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, Brireem, it just startled me." Voldemort tried to hide his nervousness and spoke in a calm manner.

"Carson, are you...are you ready for the final exams?" Brireem broke the silence first, asking with a mix of embarrassment and expectation.

“Of course.” Voldemort nodded, a smug smile playing on his lips. “It was such a simple test, I didn’t need to study much.”

"Hey, Carson, can I... I mean, can I study for the final exams with you?" Brireem asked, his face flushed and a little embarrassed.

"Hmm," Voldemort hummed softly, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Brirem. He didn't know why Brirem suddenly wanted to come and study with him, especially at this time when the curse had just been lifted by Tyrell. This made Voldemort somewhat suspicious that it might be a test from Tyrell.

"Okay," Voldemort readily agreed.
