Hogwarts: I will never become the Dark Lord

"But Mr. Green, you won't tell, will you?"

Before Jerry could retort, Voldemort continued, "Mr. Green, ever since we last met, I've realized that we're actually the same kind of people—ambitious and talented. But the only difference between us now is that I'm more powerful than you!"

"So, Voldemort, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Join the Death Eaters!

Hearing Voldemort's words, Jerry was a little doubtful. Could Voldemort have split his soul and lost his brain in the process?

After a disdainful laugh, Jerry said, "Mr. Voldemort, you don't actually think we Apostles are some low-level organization, do you?"

"No, no, no, Mr. Green, of course I know how powerful the Apostles are, but with your talent, it won't be long before you become a supreme being. At that time, would you still be willing to be subordinate to those old men in your organization!"

"At that time, as long as you and I cooperate..."

After hearing Voldemort's lies to the children, Jerry fell into deep thought. He certainly wasn't thinking about Voldemort's empty promises; who did Voldemort think he was to share the wizarding world with him!

"Mr. Voldemort, let's be realistic and tell me what you need me for!"

"I need the Soul-Restoring Potion!"

As expected, Voldemort's elaborate setup was all for a reason. Hearing Voldemort's words, Jerry secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, but the Soul-Slaying Potion isn't free. What can you give us?"

"How about the Blood Curse?"

Upon hearing Voldemort's words, although Jerry really wanted to agree immediately, complete the transaction, and leave quickly, he pretended to be conflicted. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, but pay first and bring me the Blood Curse!"

Voldemort took a brown parchment from Quirrell's desk drawer and handed it to Jerry.

Chapter 58 A Special Jerry

Jerry took the parchment, examined it carefully, and then put it in his coat pocket.

"Mr. Voldemort, I think you may need to wait a few more days. The Soul-Regenerating Potion is not easy to obtain!"

Although Jerry himself didn't know what he was saying, seeing Voldemort's own imagination and subsequent agreement with Jerry's statement finally put his mind at ease.

"I'll be going now. I'll let you know when the medicine arrives!"

Upon hearing Jerry's words, Voldemort said, "Then let's wish each other a pleasant cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

After seeing Jerry off, Quirrell said, puzzled, "Master, I don't understand. There are other apostles in the academy. Why are we risking our lives to find Jerry Green?"

Voldemort said in a hoarse voice, "The Apostles are too powerful. Even if I am successfully resurrected, I may not be able to defeat them. However, Jerry Green's existence gives me hope. An Apostle who is not loyal to the organization is extremely useful!"

"While the Soul-Slaying Potion hasn't arrived yet, go hunt unicorns in the Forbidden Forest!"

"As you command, Master!"

……

After leaving the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, Jerry went to a secluded corner, dropped his disguise, and gasped for breath.

Thanks to the person who told Voldemort that he was an apostle, Jerry will go to Dumbledore's office to report Voldemort in order to repay him!

Take out the Marauder's Map, locate Dumbledore, and quickly head towards him.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I have something to discuss with you!"

Upon seeing that the visitor was Jerry, Dumbledore smiled warmly and said, "Son, what brings you here?"

"I think I should go to your office to say it."

Seeing that Jerry's expression was somewhat serious, Dumbledore led him to his office.

After inviting Jerry to sit down, Dumbledore asked, "What happened?"

"Quirk just contacted me!"

"I saw Voldemort too!"

Jerry didn't hide anything and told Dumbledore what had just happened in Quirrell's office.

"Jerry, what are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Jerry was momentarily stunned. What did he mean by "what do you mean I have ideas"?

Voldemort! He's right on the back of Quirrell's head, aren't you going to kill him?

If you think you can't handle it alone, don't you still have Grindelwald? With the two of you, if you encountered a low-health Voldemort now, wouldn't you be able to pin him to the ground and beat him to a pulp?

Seeing Dumbledore smiling kindly at him, Jerry suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Could it be that you were the one who told Voldemort I was an apostle?"

Upon hearing Jerry's words, Dumbledore shook his head.

Jerry breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought Dumbledore was plotting against him again!

"Gellert told Voldemort!"

Jerry: "..."

Aren't you two afraid I'll be in danger?

"Don't worry, Jerry, Voldemort won't attack you right now, let alone the Apostles!"

"Besides, haven't you been practicing spells like crazy these past few days? But be careful next time, Fiery Blaze is hard to control!"

Good heavens! I was wondering why Dumbledore would hand over Grindelwald's notebook to me; it turns out he was waiting for this!

"Mr. Dumbledore, what exactly are you two trying to do? You don't really want me to go undercover, do you? I'm only a first-year student!"

"Jerry, you're being too modest. First-graders aren't as good as you!"

Seeing Jerry's resistance, Dumbledore explained, "Don't worry, Jerry, we're not asking you to infiltrate the Death Eaters, but the Apostles!"

Jerry was resistant to both Death Eaters and Apostles. "I came to Hogwarts to learn magic, not to be James Bond."

"Mr. Dumbledore, may I refuse?"

"Of course you can, but I hope you understand, Jerry, that even if you refuse now, you can't escape it in the future. The apostles will not give up!"

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Jerry fell into deep thought. He understood that the Apostles were a persistent force, and he had no way to escape them.

"What benefits can you offer me, Mr. Principal?"

As if he had anticipated Jerry's question, Dumbledore smiled and said, "Gellert and I can promise you that we will not interfere with your choices in the future, nor will we stop you."

After saying that, Dumbledore took another book from the bookshelf next to him and placed it in front of Jerry.

"You don't need to try to persuade Harry to look in the forbidden section anymore. The book you want is right here. You can take it anytime you want."

Seeing Dumbledore's series of actions, Jerry asked with some doubt, "Mr. Dumbledore, can you tell me why you all come looking for me? Am I that special?"

“Child, you are special, not only to me and Gellert, but also to the Apostles. You have been exposed to magic for some time now, and you should have noticed your uniqueness by now!”

Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Jerry nodded thoughtfully.

“Jerry, there’s another important reason why Gellert and I chose you, which you may not have realized, but no one can Legilimency on you, not even me!”

"This, how is this possible? I've never learned Occlumency!" Jerry said in surprise.

Jerry had considered the possibility that he was special, after all, his talent in dark magic exceeded human limits. But he had never heard of anyone being a born master of Occlumency, and the system interface didn't show that he knew this spell.

Could it be a system issue?

"Don't be surprised, this is also one of your talents, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Dumbledore, I need to think about it carefully!"

Upon hearing Jerry's words, Dumbledore said, "Don't worry too much. Whatever your final answer is, as long as Gellert and I are here, we won't let you get hurt."

“Sir, there are many apostles at Hogwarts right now, Trevor Shackles and the like. Why don’t you arrest them and interrogate them?”

Dumbledore shook his head and said, "It's no use. Apostles all have special brain protection magic."

Is it the same as mine?

“No, Jerry, Gellert and I have been researching this magic for a long time, but we haven’t found any records of it. However, we see traces of this magic in you!”

"The apostles' brain protection magic is actually more like a simplified version of your talent!"

"This may be one of the reasons why the apostles value you!"

Hiss, the more Jerry listened to Dumbledore, the more terrified he became. If he really went to infiltrate, what if he was dragged onto the operating table by the apostles on the very first day and dissected for research?

Chapter 59 I haven't even started, and you're already kneeling!

“Headmaster Dumbledore, you’ve really planned this meticulously. Do I have any other choice now? I’ve already promised Voldemort the Soul-Giving Potion! Do you have such a potion?” Jerry looked at the old bee and old fox Dumbledore in front of him, his tone tinged with annoyance.

Jerry was very unhappy with the two old men's scheming, as if he were being manipulated by them.

But Jerry also knew that Dumbledore's words were not without reason.

The apostles would not let him off easily, so even if Dumbledore didn't say anything, Jerry would soon take the initiative to contact them.

Besides this reason, Jerry had another important reason for contacting the Apostles: he wanted to use their power to get rid of Dumbledore's surveillance.

Jerry felt like a prisoner under surveillance, constantly being controlled by others. This feeling made him very uncomfortable; he wanted freedom and to control his own destiny.

Whatever Dumbledore's reasons, Jerry still couldn't accept the feeling of being watched.

Dumbledore noticed Jerry's anger and said, "Of course I have a choice. Jerry, if you don't agree, I'll contact Gellert right now and find a way to deal with Voldemort!"

"Hmph!" Jerry snorted coldly after hearing Dumbledore's words, then turned and left the headmaster's office.

After Jerry left, Gellert Grindelwald appeared and said to Dumbledore, "Albus, Jerry seems quite unhappy with your plan!"

"But there is no one more suitable than him in this world, is there?"

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Gellert sighed and said, "Yes!"

“Gellert, what I’m most worried about now is what if Jerry really joins the Apostles’ organization? You and I promised him we wouldn’t interfere or stop him!” Dumbledore’s voice revealed deep concern.

"Don't worry, Albus. As long as the future tells me that Jerry is still the Jerry we know, that's enough!"

"And I will absolutely not let our tragedy... repeat itself on Jerry!"
