William Arrived Too Early
William made a deal with Vivian in exchange for a precious diamond.
This transaction is a gamble; after the time loop ends, the Trident will likely return to Vivian's hands.
In order to recoup his investment, William must extract every last drop of value and stay inside for a sufficiently long time.
Even if it's unbearable, I have to stay, since this is Vivian's paid service.
But in any case, being able to leave Hogwarts is a good thing.
Once they were able to leave, investigating Harry and the others became a less pressing matter.
He paid such a high price; he doesn't want the cycle to end so soon.
Getting caught in a loop is one thing; staying in it for a long time is another.
To maximize profits, the first thing to do is to meet Voldemort.
That's the resurrected Dark Lord... not a lingering shadow, nor a stray dog clinging to Quirrell.
To paraphrase Dumbledore: At this point, he was no match for Voldemort.
It's no exaggeration to say that Tom, after his resurrection, is currently the pinnacle of the Wizarding World, possessing top-tier combat power.
They will also be the main competitor for the next few years, or even more than a decade.
This timeframe depends on... when all the Horcrux are destroyed.
During the conflict, Second Wizarding War may also break out.
Dumbledore was getting old, and William needed to take up the mantle and fight against the pressure from Voldemort.
Therefore, this time loop presents the best opportunity.
After all, where else can you find such a good "tool" for warming up food?
William was going to walk up to Voldemort and fight him face to face... a fight to the death.
He refused to believe that after seven or eight years of fighting, the gap between him and Voldemort at his peak would still be so large.
If you can't beat him, join him... William plans to become Voldemort 'Tom teacher and learn a few tricks of the trade during battle.
Hopefully, Voldemort won't be too surprised when the time loop ends.
When William woke up the next day, he examined the jewels and the Goblet of Fire.
One of the jewels is gone, and the Little White Dragon is gone too; only Xiaohong is left trembling in the Goblet of Fire.
It would rather stay in the Holy Grail than be trapped with Vivian.
The trident lay quietly in William's Safety Watch.
Therefore, yesterday's transaction is still valid.
After cuddling with Sasha for a while, William decided to take a stroll around Hogsmeade.
He hasn't stepped out of Hogwarts for over a year... He needs to experience the freedom outside.
William got bored after just one stroll, while Lyanna and the others, who were visiting for the first time, thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Now that they could leave Hogwarts, William thought they had some time and decided to take Hermione out to play.
There are still many cities in the British Isles that I haven't visited yet.
William has never won against Gringotts before, so this is a good opportunity for him to practice.
He's not short of money now, but who knows what the future holds?
Besides, when William first entered the wizarding world and saw Gringotts... he wanted to rob it.
This dream can finally come true.
At noon, William went to Black Lake again. The Merpeople discovered that the trident was missing and were frantically searching for it.
William wanted to leave a note, which read:
The weapon was lost, Ced stole it.
But after thinking about it, I decided to be a decent human being and stop Cedric from suffering further torment from the Merpeople Mermaid.
Night fell, and the final round of the Triwizard Tournament began once again.
William cast an Disillusionment Charm on himself and arrived at the location precisely on time to wait for his target.
Sure enough, a minute later, Krum appeared, and then, the Winky Apparition and landed.
Just as it was about to take Krum away, William, who was hiding to the side, suddenly reached out and grabbed Krum's shoulder.
Winky was also startled; it hadn't expected a wizard to be hiding beside it.
But it also carried him with it, Apparition, as it headed towards its destination.
Winky couldn't stop William, or take him somewhere else.
Because the master's order was: take Potter to see... the Dark Lord, without stopping in between.
It had to take Potter to the Dark Lord immediately.
Snap!
William felt his feet touch the ground, and Krum beside him suddenly collapsed to the ground.
William looked up, glanced around carefully, and quickly realized where he was.
--The village of Old Tom, Voldemort's father.
He's been here before!
Last year, in search of the Resurrection Stone, William and Dumbledore visited the nearby Gaunt Shack.
William continued to look; he stood in a dark, overgrown cemetery.
Behind a tall yew tree on the right, you can see the black outline of a small church. To the left is a hill.
William could still make out the dilapidated Riddle haunted house on the hillside.
"The tomb... Voldemort's resurrection ritual, he chose this place? How utterly unconventional."
It seems Voldemort didn't value rituals as much as Tom did.
William suddenly turned his head, and in the darkness, a figure walked step by step towards them among the graves.
He was short and wore a hooded cloak that covered his face.
Although the face was not clearly visible, the person appeared to be carrying something, judging from their gait and arm posture.
Taking a few more steps closer—the distance between them was constantly shrinking— William realized that what the man was holding looked like a baby.
Krum, who was behind him, suddenly screamed.
Krum's face also changed; his skin became smoother, and his large, hooked nose shrank. His buzz cut turned into a mess of black hair.
Two scars, like horns, suddenly appeared on his forehead.
The effects of the Polyjuice Potion wore off, and Krum became Harry.
William wasn't too surprised; he had expected this outcome.
Barty Crouch Jr.. probably switched Krum and Harry, and the Harry who died in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom was very likely Krum.
As for who Krum's body was... I wonder where Barty Crouch Jr. found a scapegoat again.
The real Harry, however, had already been sent to Voldemort's side through Winky.
Barty Crouch Jr.. left three corpses at Hogwarts in this way, making everyone believe it was just an accident.
Therefore, it became impossible to suspect him, or even Voldemort.
It must be said, the plan is excellent. Barty Crouch Jr.. is also a talented individual.
Soon, the man stopped in front of a towering marble tombstone, only a few meters away from them.
William heard a loud, cold voice say from far above, "Get rid of the nuisance."
A whooshing sound followed by a sharp scream pierced the night sky.
Avada Kedavra!
A bright green light pierced the air and shot towards William, who gently flicked his wand, and a stone blocked it in front of him.
Winky screamed and crouched on the ground, trembling.
"Are you trying to kill me, Peter?" William laughed.
The cloaked Wormtail was startled to hear the familiar voice. He raised his wand, lit it, and looked at William.
"Idiot, run!" Voldemort's impatient curse rang out.
They've already been touched by Stark, and instead of running away, they're still standing there watching!
Look!
What the hell are you looking at!
William had already Apparition, appearing behind the Wormtail in a single step, and with a swift movement, he slashed down with his sword.
Voldemort's warning still gave Wormtail a scare, and he immediately transformed into a rat in the air as Animagus.
William sneered and swung his sword, pinning the rat to the ground.
William drew his longsword and used it to lift the small blanket that the Wormtail had fallen to the ground.
A sticky, ugly, eyeless thing was visible under the blanket.
Its shape resembles a curled-up baby, hairless, with what appears to be scales on its body, and dark, reddish skin, like tender, injured flesh.
Its arms and legs were thin and soft, and its face was a flat snake face.
William had seen Voldemort in this state in Albania.
He has emerged from the shadows and now possesses a weak body.
Voldemort's slender hands, seemingly so delicate they could be snapped in a gust of wind, suddenly and cunningly pulled a wand from under his buttocks.
Avada Kedavra!
William broke the spell and kicked out.
Voldemort had no way to dodge and let out a series of miserable screams, which were even more pitiful than Harry's.
In this state, Voldemort, though powerful, is physically very fragile.
Indeed... that baby-like body couldn't possibly escape William's whip kick.
Voldemort glanced at the Wormtail pinned to the ground, and decisively, with a bang, his entire body exploded like a snowball, splattering blood everywhere.
William was not shocked at all. In this state, Voldemort was not even as powerful as the Shadow. He would definitely have to self-destruct to escape.
"Looks like I'm too early. You haven't been resurrected yet, Tom," William sighed and shook his head.
Voldemort turned and ran.
This is the first time he's been forced to self-destruct... Once he's resurrected, he'll definitely kill Stark!
Thirty years in Henan, thirty years in Hebei, let's not underestimate the aging stars!
