To Conquer Britain, One Must First Conquer Dumbledore

At the summit of the snow-capped mountain,

An old man in a black robe, with no hair, eyebrows, or nose, stood barefoot and with bare legs in the snow.

Even without wearing long johns, he wasn't cold at all; instead, he calmly closed his eyes.

meditation.

Calling it meditation is somewhat inappropriate; it would be more accurate to describe it as seducing underage teenagers.

That's right, Voldemort is using Occlumency to create content with adult video quality.

Harry was drawn into his mind during his sleep, gradually being led to the 97th shelf in the Hall of Prophecy of the Department of Mysteries...

This is something Voldemort does every night.

If Harry's curiosity is patiently piqued, the fish will one day take the bait.

Harry Potter was such a prey, foolish and naive.

Voldemort disliked Dumbledore and Stark.

They were never fooled; only when playing with Harry Van did Voldemort truly experience the thrill of crushing his enemy's intellect.

The Dark Lord, or as I'd like to call it... the Old Torture King's Moment.

Happiness is always fleeting. After completing today's seduction, Voldemort began to sculpt another work of art.

He raised his wand, the runes drawn with the Giant's blood floating in mid-air, Winky in the moonlight.

The blood dried naturally, Voldemort chanted a soft incantation, and pale flames suddenly erupted.

The talisman slowly burned, turning into a layer of charred ash.

After the flames were completely extinguished, Voldemort hissed in a Parseltongue- Parseltongue.

Ashes drifted down automatically into the silver bowl filled with blood, where a pen made of Unicorn feathers stirred it slowly.

The liquid turned a deeper black, then, like small snakes, it burrowed into the Giant's body through its mouth.

After an unknown amount of time, the Giant's skin became covered with intricate symbols and magical patterns, like a brocade.

The Giant slowly rose, and a new Inferi... was thus created.

The Giant's physique was too strong, and his magic resistance was too high.

Creating this kind of Inferi is far more time-consuming and involves far more steps than creating a human corpse.

However, the difference is also obvious; the Giant Inferi's combat power completely surpasses that of the Inferi!

Voldemort stood quietly to the side, gazing at his masterpiece, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

During this time, he collected many Giant corpses and built a large army.

Although the Jungfrau collapsed, the bodies were well preserved due to the cold weather.

Indeed, many are missing limbs, but at least they haven't become Giant or completely rotten.

Excavating the collapsed Jungfrau was no easy task... His series of reckless actions caused a massive avalanche.

To cover up the truth, the Switzerland Ministry of Magic had the Muggle government claim it was... an earthquake.

"Master!" Kesla approached with reverence, avoiding Voldemort's snake eyes, and whispered:

"The Auror of the Switzerland Ministry of Magic... are approaching."

Voldemort nodded slightly, without saying a word.

Based on his past behavior, if he encountered these Auror, he would definitely kill them all.

It's possible to kill him, but there's really no need.

The reason is quite simple:

Voldemort isn't Grindelwald... there's no need to offend all the countries at once.

That's right, Voldemort looked down on the first Dark Lord.

In Voldemort's view, without securing his base and without defeating Dumbledore, he was provoking others everywhere.

Then, they incurred the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, and were targeted by wizards from all countries... This was more than just foolish; it was downright foolish!

As a second-generation black man, Voldemort was determined to dominate the world, so he naturally wouldn't follow Grindelwald's old path.

Being an enemy of the whole world may sound powerful, but it's nothing but a path to certain death.

During the last Wizarding War, Old Tom clearly realized that:

To conquer the Great, one must first conquer Dumbledore; to conquer the world, one must first conquer the Great.

Otherwise, no matter how many countries we provoke or how many territories we occupy, it will all be in vain.

On the contrary, it will push many neutral forces to Dumbledore's side.

Voldemort was arrogant, yet also very restrained.

This is why the Death Eaters' activities have always been confined to the British Isles.

Unlike the Grindelwald's Acolytes... there's no place in the United States, France, or the United Kingdom that they haven't destroyed.

Could Voldemort not conquer France?

A loser who once set a record by surrendering in just 43 days?

He simply didn't want to make too many enemies before dealing with Dumbledore and conquering United Kingdom.

Voldemort still adhered to this principle and did not intend to carry out a large-scale massacre of the Switzerland Auror.

However, he has also been reading newspapers from other countries recently.

The United States New York Ghost, published an article saying that Voldemort was far inferior to Grindelwald.

They say Grindelwald is the real Dark Lord, whose activities span the entire world and whose followers are spread throughout Europe and America...

And he, Voldemort,

He's just the leader of a small terrorist organization; he hasn't even left the United Kingdom!

When Voldemort saw this report, he wished he could send the author a Avada Kedavra from afar.

He was clearly standing at a higher strategic level.

Even higher!

I don't know who wrote this, but when he conquers United Kingdom and reigns supreme in United States, he will definitely kill that bastard with his own hands.

(Little Tom: Meow meow meow?)

Voldemort transformed into a wisp of black mist and drifted onto the Giant's Inferi.

He said hoarsely, "Let's go."

"Master, where to next?" Kesla asked.

"Go to Durmstrang," Voldemort said coldly. "Take Karkaroff's head."

Unfortunately, Grindelwald has disappeared.

Otherwise, if you happen to pass through Nurmengard, Austria, you could have a go at this veteran.

Let that big idiot in New York see who the real Dark Lord is!

The loneliness is like an avalanche!

"Walk!"

The Giant began to run wildly, and snow poured down the mountainside like a torrent, splitting off on either side of Voldemort.

Three months after being expelled, William was reinstated to his student status.

However, he retains his position as a professor of Ancient Runes, instead of being a substitute teacher as before.

For William, whether or not he went to school was irrelevant; it was just that his own dean Professor Flitwick, insisted that he complete his studies so that he would have no regrets.

William will be the most outstanding student Ravenclaw House will ever produce.

In the end, it turns out he didn't graduate from Ravenclaw —what a huge joke that would be!

One more thing, this year is a crucial period for Quidditch Cup three-peat.

At the very least, a dynasty needs to be established, right?

Even Cedric and the twins have been reinstated and returned to Quidditch, but William isn't there... so they're definitely going to finish last this year.

But the deans of the other colleges disagreed.

Nobody wants to see William continue to help Ravenclaw win titles.

Especially Professor McGonagall.

Gryffindor, she'll probably get a stroke from the stress.

Therefore, she suggested that since William was an expelled student, even if he returned, he should be reassigned to a different college.

Anne had a good relationship with the Sorting Hat and often took it out during holidays.

Professor McGonagall then approached Anne and asked her to speak with the Sorting Hat so that William could be sent to Gryffindor once the Sorting took place.

Professor Snape went even further.

He believes that none of the students who have been suspended should return to the competition.

After all, there's a reason why everyone is punished.

For example, Potter got involved in a fight.

Shidake shouldn't have his student status reinstated; he should just stick to being a professor.

Yes, the Slytherin Quidditch Team might lose... so what?

Surely no one actually likes silly Quidditch?

Snape said:

He disliked the sport the most; he valued the prestigious House Cup more.

As long as William isn't a student, Slytherin will definitely win the House Cup again.

Unfortunately, his opinion... is unimportant.

Although William was reinstated to his student status, he continued with his previous routine and did not attend classes.

He's been so busy lately that his energy is completely consumed.

Besides Fudge's matter, there are also Ancient Runes, and... the Vanishing Cabinet.

William bought another Vanishing Cabinet from Borgin and Burkes.

Unlike antique porcelain.

The combined price of two identical porcelain pieces is certainly less than the price of a single broken piece.

However, if you only have one Vanishing Cabinet, it's practically useless, and its value will be much lower.

This is why the Old Burke hasn't been sold all these years.

Old Burke's shop is like a computer mall... Buying a computer in a computer mall is a never-ending rip-off.

But William, being a regular customer and a master Alchemy, was naturally not going to be ripped off.

Under the pretext of researching the mechanisms of magic, he managed to snag a bargain from that old swindler, Old Burke, at an incredibly low price.

Old Burke was quite happy that the loss-making goods were sold.

Don't be fooled by his current cheerful demeanor. Once the Vanishing Cabinet Vanishing Cabinet are no longer needed, William can sell them back to him for an exorbitant price.

At that time, he probably won't be able to laugh anymore.
