291. "The Dark Lord of the 20th Century"
Although she was dissatisfied, Elaine had no good solution. This newspaper had already been published.
Besides, there were a lot of witnesses at the time, so it was only a matter of time before word spread.
However, it's still very unpleasant.
What does it mean to be afraid of your fiancée? What does it mean to have two boats?
She clearly doesn't have that kind of feeling for Hermione! At least...at least not yet!
With her abilities, would she be unable to defeat Daphne and Hermione seriously?
They simply don’t want to make things awkward, a bunch of idiots who don’t understand taste...
Before you laugh at someone's strict wife control, think about whether you have a girlfriend or not!
Besides, if the battlefield changes to bed, she will definitely be the winner!
Burning the newspaper casually, Elaine suddenly felt something was wrong.
This interview was made by Rita from beginning to end, and there was no Dumbledore at all.
But Rita is still bound by the magic of the oath. It is impossible to write information about her without permission?
Even if it's just a short stroke, he should be punished.
...It must be Adair's fault, the cancer of this world.
That guy was probably dissatisfied with the second new human body being a woman, so he deliberately disgusted her, but could he blame her?
I have the guts to duel Dumbledore who brought back his new body!
...Forget it, he can only use this useless little trick now.
Picking up the book that came with the newspaper, Elaine flipped through it casually.
In this biography, Rita did not use the satirical writing style that she was good at, but chose a neutral writing style, stripping away emotions as much as possible, describing Voldemort's past in an impartial and straightforward manner, interspersed with the stories of many people. The testimony seemed quite genuine.
But if you actually check it out, you will find that 99% of the people mentioned in the book are dead, and Voldemort is unlikely to come forward to clarify. It is not written according to Rita's liking.
Elaine was very sure that Rita was really scribbling. After all, Dumbledore definitely did not force him and other Muggle children to apologize when they first met Voldemort. The Gaunt family also did not capture Voldemort's mother and bring her to prison. Voldemort was thrown into an orphanage as a baby, and old Tom didn't open his arms to accept Voldemort when he came to the door.
It was not Morfin Gaunt (Voldemort's uncle) who killed Old Tom, but Voldemort himself.
Rita Skeeter came up with a bloody plot of "a pure-blood witch and a Muggle fell in love but were forcefully separated by their family, and an orphan came to recognize his uncle but killed him". In this plot, Tom Riddle in the book Naturally, he hated pure-blood wizards.
But in Hogwarts, he was toyed with his feelings by a Ravenclaw girl. It was the Slytherin pure-blood witch who never left him that allowed him to get out of the shadow of broken love. Therefore, he The perception of pure-blood wizards is very complicated.
Elaine really wanted to complain after reading this.
But as one of the initiators, she still swallowed it silently.
After his student days were over, Voldemort's adult life began.
Rita cleverly included Grindelwald's story in the book. She described Grindelwald as a complex character. Using the power of divination, he saw the threat of Muggles and was disappointed with the unchanging magical world. He decided to Use violent reforms to overthrow the Statute of Secrecy and establish a new order led by wise and powerful wizards and witches to rule the world in a benevolent way.
With the slogan of "leading wizards to escape darkness and depression" and "wizards rule Muggles", Grindelwald persuaded a large number of wizards to join and caused huge turmoil throughout Europe and the United States. Until he was defeated by Dumbledore in 1945, Grindelwald The huge dark force he had constructed collapsed because of his failure, and the dark wizards gathered around him began to hide and evade pursuit.
Coincidentally, that was also the year Voldemort graduated from Hogwarts.
Voldemort, who had just graduated, was ostensibly out of "interest in dark magic items", but in fact he was looking for clues about his mother's relics, so he found a job in the Borgin-Bock store. In appearance, the boss entrusted him to persuade others to hand over the treasures to the store for sale.
After finding the clue, Voldemort stole Hufflepuff's cup and Slytherin's locket from Hepzibah Smith.
His mother's locket had been recovered, and Voldemort, who had no reason to continue working, resigned immediately.
From this point on, neither Dumbledore nor Rowling knew what Voldemort had done.
Rita just made it up casually, out of 'rebellion against Dumbledore', 'curiosity about the Dark Lord' and 'the pain of broken love (the pure-blood witch who had always supported him in school married another pure-blood wizard) ', he traveled to Europe to track down Grindelwald.
Affected by Grindelwald, the use of dark magic, and the successive blows of lovelorn, Voldemort's values changed rapidly. He wanted to be famous, to become more powerful than anyone else, and even to become better than Dumbledore and Grindel. Wodu will be even greater. He will unify the wizards and become the second Dark Lord that everyone fears.
However, Grindelwald, who was the first to start the Wizarding War, failed. Voldemort did not think he was much worse than Grindelwald, but he knew that if he wanted to continue to follow Grindelwald's path, Dumbledore would definitely jump out and stop him. He must gain greater power and backup than Grindelwald.
How could a graduate without any family background have the resources to carry out various black magic transformations.
Especially this kind of transformation always requires a large number of flesh and blood sacrifices. Without the power to cover it up, big news will soon happen.
Who can help him?
– Muggles can.
Not just any muggle.
Occasionally, there will be Squibs who cannot cast magic in wizarding families. After they get married and have children in the future, there is a high chance that their descendants will be Squibs. Over time, they will become Muggles; most wizarding families will choose to directly sever ties with Squibs. , but some families will maintain contact.
The Secrecy Act has obviously relaxed restrictions on family members. If it is a family member who maintains a good relationship, it is not an exaggeration to secretly help. Just like the British Minister of Magic from 1939 to 1948, his name was Leonard Spencer-Moon, and at that time The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill. There are also wizarding families in Europe who maintain contact with Muggles.
Rita did not directly write out who aided Voldemort, but every sentence was full of hints. Even if Elaine was not familiar with European wizards, she still had some vague concepts. This kind of nonsense skills was just beautiful. Tower can do it.
It's very simple for wizarding forces and Muggle forces to cooperate and want a bunch of people to die quietly.
But of course the assistance was not free, Voldemort had to give something in return.
There are two speculations here. Voldemort first used his family's locket as collateral. After the experiment, he killed all these people and took back the locket.
Or, in terms of body and handsome appearance——
In any case, through the funding of European dark magic forces and Muggle families, Voldemort successfully carried out some dangerous magical transformations (here Riadelle also asked Rita to write some real fragments of the black magic ritual process to increase credibility. ), after he transformed himself into a monster, his strength also increased significantly as he wished.
The rest is history as everyone knows it. Voldemort returned to England to recruit his men, preparing to defeat Dumbledore and seize the British magical power, but he lost to Harry Potter.
Read the whole book...
Elaine had only one thought. If she were Voldemort, she would kill Rita first.
