Hogwarts: I will never become the Dark Lord

"So we'll buy you time. You're really good now, but it's not enough. You need to be able to beat me and Gellert at least!"

Jerry: "..."

Sigh, the way you're saying that would make Snape want to wash his hair and clear his head!

"It's getting late, you should go back to class! I'll investigate the attack and let you know when I have news!"

"Alright then, Professor, I'll head back now!"

After saying goodbye to Dumbledore, Jerry left the headmaster's office.

……

At noon, in the lobby.

Hermione ran over as soon as she saw Jerry; the two hadn't been in class together that morning.

"Jerry, did you get any news from Professor Dumbledore?"

“No, but don’t worry, Dumbledore will handle it!” Jerry said after taking a sip of pumpkin juice. “Hermione, where did today’s attack take place? Did anyone see it?”

"It was in the corridor on the second floor of the castle, not far from where Filch's cat had its accident last time. No one saw who did it, but Parvati was not far away at the time!"

"Where are the Parvati?" Jerry glanced around.

"Where! Parvati, over here!"

Hermione pointed to the Ravenclaw table, where Parvati was talking to a Ravenclaw student who looked similar to her.

“Jerry, let me introduce you. This is my twin sister, Padma Petil. What can I do for you?” Parvati led her sister over.

"Hello, I am Jerry Green, a student of Slytherin."

“You…hello, I…I am Padma Petir. I’ve heard my sister mention you!”

"Jerry, what do you want from me?" Parvati, who was standing nearby, tugged at her sister's sleeve after hearing her words, and asked with an awkward smile.

"I wanted to ask you about what happened this morning. Weren't you nearby at the time?"

"Actually, we didn't find anything. This morning, when Padma and I were passing by the second-floor corridor, we suddenly heard a scream. When we ran over, Ginny had already collapsed on the floor! Oh right, the book she was carrying this morning is still with me!"

After saying that, Parvati took the books that Ginny had scattered in the morning out of her bag.

Jerry took them and looked at them. On one side was a potions textbook, on the other a transmutation textbook, and on the other an old diary with a faded cover.

Jerry gently turned to the first page of the diary, and a blurry name came into view—Tom Riddle. The ink had faded, and the handwriting was somewhat blurred.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Hermione asked curiously when she saw Jerry repeatedly examining a blank diary.

"Phew~ It's alright, I'll give these books to Ron later!" Jerry said, shaking his head as he gripped the diary tightly.

He underestimated the allure of Horcruxes.

From the moment Jerry received the diary, he felt an alluring voice in his mind, like an invisible hand gently plucking at his heartstrings, constantly urging him to devour the Horcrux as soon as possible.

"Then these books are yours. Padma and I will be leaving now!" With that, Parvati hurriedly took her sister's hand and left the hall without waiting for their reply.

In the hallway, Padma abruptly pulled her hand away from Parvati's. "Sis, why are you in such a hurry to leave!"

"It's all your fault for being so embarrassing!" Parvati said angrily. "Your eyes were glued to Jerry the whole time, and Hermione glared at you several times, didn't you even notice?"

Padma: "..."

……

“Those two sisters are really strange!” Jerry scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Hermione: "Heh!"

"Jerry, Hermione, good afternoon!"

Harry, Ron, and Neville walked over listlessly.

"What's wrong with you guys? You all look so listless. Isn't Ginny alright?"

“We just ran into Snape,” Neville said, still somewhat terrified. “He warned us he’d be watching us closely. It’s terrifying!”

"That's great, you guys don't have to worry about being attacked anymore!"

“Don’t joke around, Jerry, I even think Professor Snape is more terrifying!” Neville looked around and then whispered.

Jerry knew Neville was terrified of Snape, so he stopped teasing him and handed the textbook to Ron, who then took the Horcrux.

"What Parvati gave me was the textbook that Ginny dropped this morning!"

"thank you all!"

“Jerry, do you think it could be Malfoy? He’s the rightful heir!” Harry, who had been silent with his head down, suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? Why?"

"This morning, Professor Binns, a professor of the history of magic, told us about the Chamber of Secrets. The founder of Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets to purify the school and eliminate all wizards who were not worthy of learning magic and were of Muggle origin."

"But what does this have to do with Malfoy?"

"Malfoy was a student of Slytherin, and don't you think Salazar Slytherin's ideas are very similar to Malfoy's pure-blood theory?"

Jerry sighed helplessly. "Damn it, of course they're alike! Otherwise, where do you think the pureblood theory came from? Classic father like son, that's the opposite of what you'd expect!"

"I'm also a Slytherin student. Aren't you afraid I might be the heir to the Chamber of Secrets?"

“No,” Harry said confidently. “Jerry, you’re different from the other Slytherin students. You’re kinder and braver. You wouldn’t do such a thing!”

Hey kid, you're always telling the truth!

"So, what do you want to do?" Jerry asked.

Harry, Malfoy, and the others scratched their heads, looked at each other, and said, "How about we call Malfoy out and ask him?"

Jerry and Hermione: "..."

"Even if we call Malfoy out, do you think he'll tell the truth?" Hermione covered her forehead, looking at Harry and the others as if they were idiots.

"Actually, there is another way!"

"Jerry, you're not talking about Compound Herbal Remedy, are you? Isn't that a bit too dangerous? Plus, it would probably violate about fifty school rules."

"Compound decoction, what is that?" The three looked at Jerry and Hermione with puzzled expressions, having no idea what they were talking about.

"Professor Snape mentioned in Potions class that it can temporarily change your appearance, turning you into someone else. Imagine if you became three Slytherin students, Malfoy might just tell you the truth!"

"Great! Hermione, do you know how to make potions? Please!"

Hermione glanced at Jerry, and seeing him nod, she said, "I heard the recipe from Professor Snape. It's in a book called 'Powerful Potions' in the forbidden section. Try to get the recipe, and I can try to see if I can make it!"

"The forbidden section? Harry, will your Invisibility Cloak work?" Ron asked, looking at Harry.

"Ron, I don't think we need to, because we have an incredibly stupid professor!"

Chapter 103 Let's set a small goal first: defeat Dumbledore before graduation!

"Tom Riddle, Mysterious Man, open your eyes! I am Jerry Green!"

After school in the afternoon, Jerry didn't go to Hogwarts Great Hall, but went back to his dormitory alone and opened Riddle's diary.

As Jerry's quill left the blank page, the words he had just written disappeared.

Strangely, Jerry received no response from Voldemort.

"Tom Marvolo Riddell?"

Jerry waited a minute and then wrote another sentence in his diary, but still received no response.

"Could it be that it's been in disrepair for years? Or did Ginny break it?" Jerry muttered to himself.

"Voldemort?"

"The Black Devil?"

"orphan?"

"007!" (No nose, no hair, seven Horcruxes.)

……

Jerry wrote several sentences, some nice and some insulting, but everything seemed to disappear without a trace, just like at the beginning.

After more than ten minutes, Jerry's patience had slipped away like quicksand. He slammed his hand on the diary in anger, and dark red electricity flashed at his fingertips, accompanied by crackling sounds.

"thunderstorm"

Under the impact of the powerful energy emanating from the diary, it remained motionless for a while before a sudden surge of immense force pushed Jerry's hand away, then closed itself and began to shake wildly on the table.

The entire desktop shook violently as the diary was read.

"You little brat, I can't handle you!"

Not long after, the diary suddenly stopped shaking. Then, a loud "bang!" broke the silence. The pages flipped open by themselves and slammed heavily onto the desk.

"Life...Soul Potion! Collapse..."

Jerry looked at the words that had appeared in his diary and chuckled. Who knew this guy, despite his mental lapse, had such a good memory!

Tell me about the attack!

"Life...Soul Potion!"

"Don't worry, after you tell me, I'll definitely give you the potion! I swear! (I swear on Snape's shampoo!)"

"Life-giving potion!"

Watching Voldemort become a broken record, Jerry sighed. "Sigh! Can't people trust each other at all? Human nature has changed so much!"

Reluctantly, Jerry had no choice but to give him a taste of the goodness first.

Jerry took out the silvery-white Soul-Slaying Potion from the drawer, slowly poured a drop into the empty potion bottle next to him, then added the genuine Ganges water from his hometown that he had specially asked Parvati for, diluted it, and poured it onto his diary.

Clean and hygienic!

As Jerry tilted the bottle, the medicine dripped from the bottle opening and was completely absorbed before it even touched the diary.

Then, not long after, the pages of the diary began to stretch and curl up into a ball, struggling quite a bit!

It seems Parvati wasn't lying to me; this Ganges water is truly authentic!
