Jerry took the Parchment, examined it carefully, then slipped it into his coat pocket.
"Mr. Voldemort, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few more days. The Life-Soul Potion isn't easy to get!"
Jerry had no idea what he was talking about, but Voldemort seemed to have filled in the gaps himself. When he even agreed, Jerry's pounding heart finally settled.
"I'll be going, then. Once the potion arrives, I'll let you know!"
Voldemort said, "Here's to a fruitful partnership."
"To a fruitful partnership!"
After Jerry left, Quirrell asked in confusion, "Master, I don't understand. There are other Apostles at Hogwarts. Why risk approaching Jerry Green?"
Voldemort's rasping voice answered, "The Apostles Organization is too powerful. Even if I return to life, I may not be able to defeat them. But Jerry Green gives me hope. An Apostle with no loyalty to his organization could be very useful!"
"Until the Life-Soul Potion arrives, go hunt Unicorns in the Forbidden Forest."
"Yes, Master!"
After leaving the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, Jerry found a deserted corner, dropped his disguise, and gulped down air.
My thanks to whoever told Voldemort I'm an Apostle. To repay them, I'm going straight to Dumbledore's office to report Voldemort!
He took out the Marauder's Map, found Dumbledore's location, and hurried over.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, I need to speak with you!"
Seeing that it was Jerry, Dumbledore smiled warmly. "What is it, my boy?"
"I think we should talk in your office."
At the seriousness of Jerry's expression, Dumbledore took him there.
Once Jerry was seated, Dumbledore asked, "Has something happened?"
"Quirrell came to see me just now!"
"And I saw Voldemort!"
Jerry held nothing back as he told Dumbledore what had happened in Quirrell's office.
"Jerry, what do you think?"
Jerry froze for a moment.
