Chapter 775 Voldemort Is Very Satisfied
After Easter, Fish returned to the peaceful campus life, but outside the campus it was not peaceful at all.
First, the Ministry of Magic tried to communicate with Dumbledore face to face again and again, but was blocked by Professor McGonagall.
But even so, Pierce Sinix refused to give up. He did not know how to persuade the International Federation of Wizards to award Dumbledore a medal of honor to commend him for his contribution to wizard education. contribute.
This time Dumbledore did attend, and not only did he attend, he was in very good condition. His face was red and there was no sign of injury at all, and his voice was as energetic as ever. Even the burnt face before The right index finger has now returned to its original appearance.
"Master! Snape is indeed lying!"
When Synix brought the news back, Bellatrix immediately screamed with excitement.
As a die-hard member of Voldemort, what she couldn't stand the most was that Snape had clearly betrayed Voldemort, but he was still being used in important ways. The most important thing is... he is valued more by Voldemort than himself!
So now that it was discovered that Snape was actually deceiving Voldemort, Bellatrix started to add insult to injury without hesitation. Especially now that Snape was away, he couldn't fool him with sweet words like before!
Lucius raised his eyelids and glanced at his sister-in-law, then lowered his head silently. He was in an awkward position now, so it was inconvenient to speak for Snape.
"No, I think Snape's words are true now."
The person who spoke for Snape was Voldemort's most trusted servant, Barty Crouch Jr.
"Crouch! Are you crazy?!" Bellatrix's eyes widened and she looked at Barty Jr. fiercely.
Little Barty was unmoved. Compared to Bellatrix, who had serious personal emotions, although he was also dissatisfied with Snape, he was able to look at the problem more objectively.
He looked at Voldemort respectfully and enthusiastically, and analyzed seriously: "I think the previous temptation from the Ministry of Magic may have aroused Dumbledore's vigilance, so he went out of his way to show up and act like he was completely fine. ”
Voldemort nodded in approval, then glanced at Bellatrix indifferently, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.
Fanatic followers like Bellatrix are loyal enough, but their abilities are hard to describe. Most of them can only be used as simple thugs and coolies, unable to share more important things for themselves.
The reason why he reused Snape was not only that the other party's identity was indeed very useful, but more importantly, that the other party's ability to do things was strong enough. Otherwise, Snape could have stayed under Dumbledore for more than ten years and still prevented him from doing anything. After Quirrell's "crime" of stealing the Sorcerer's Stone for him, how could Voldemort let him go so easily.
Barty Crouch Jr.'s ability is quite good, otherwise he would not have been able to successfully use Harry's blood to resurrect him... although the final result was not so perfect because of a certain little fur cat.
But little Barty, like those criminals who escaped from prison, can't see the light of day for the time being.
Voldemort had previously considered asking Barty Jr. to use Polyjuice Potion to replace a senior official from the Ministry of Magic to do things for him, but now that even the Minister of Magic has been controlled by him using the Imperius Curse, there is no need to go to such trouble. , and he also needs someone with an above-average IQ by his side to handle some not-so-important things for him.
Seeing that Snape had failed to "fall out of favor" with Voldemort, Bellatrix's expression suddenly looked gloomy.
But she didn't have any strong evidence to refute Little Barty, so she could only sit back unwillingly and muttered in a low voice: "This is just your speculation..."
Voldemort pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "What Bella said makes sense, we need to confirm again..."
Bellatrix, who was still a little disappointed, immediately showed a moved expression, looking at Voldemort with eyes full of enthusiasm and admiration, completely ignoring her husband sitting next to her, and Rodolphus Lestrange. He didn't show any dissatisfaction with his wife.
Voldemort ignored Bellatrix and turned his attention to Lucius Malfoy, who was sitting at the end of the long table.
"Lucius, how's Draco's mission going?"
"Draco contacted me during Easter. The cabinet will be repaired soon. I think he will send good news soon." Lucius replied respectfully.
"Huh!" Voldemort snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly: "I remember saying that I don't need such a vague answer."
"This..." Lucius gritted his teeth and said, "I will contact Draco immediately."
"Cough, cough." Umbridge, who had moved her position in front of Lucius, suddenly cleared her throat and said softly: "Master, if you want to get through that magical cabinet, send someone to The best time to test Dumbledore’s situation is during the summer vacation.”
After a period of adaptation, Umbridge easily integrated into the Death Eaters, and relied on her experience in pleasing and figuring out her superiors in the Ministry of Magic, as well as various cruel and torture methods, to successfully obtain Voldemort's appreciation, so she has now restored her little girl-like speaking style, and can also make some suggestions in Death Eater meetings.
"Dumbledore is very partial to that little monster Firsh McGonagall. He hangs around the castle almost every night. As long as he is in the school, it will be very difficult to secretly send someone to sneak into Hogwarts."
"Hehe..." Voldemort sneered, "So what?" He said ruthlessly: "Do you want to disobey my orders?"
Voldemort's cold eyes swept across the crowd, causing most of the Death Eaters to lower their heads in fear, while fanatics like Bellatrix shouted loudly that they were willing to sacrifice their lives for Voldemort.
"Don't worry, Voldemort never treats his friends badly." Voldemort, who is well versed in PUA, withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, and then softened his tone and said: "I plan to leave this matter to Greyback's men and those guys who escaped from Azkaban."
Voldemort, who was already short of manpower, would certainly not be stupid enough to let the Death Eaters who supported his pure-blood philosophy do such a thing that was obviously asking for death, but werewolves and prisoners were not within his "cherishing" range. Even if those people were caught, with Sinix and those controlled members of the Ministry of Magic to help cover up, he would not be exposed.
However, in order to obtain first-hand information, he still planned to send a Death Eater to follow and see the situation.
Voldemort's eyes wandered back and forth among the people, and finally fell on Lucius Malfoy.
In his opinion, he was kindly giving Lucius a chance to atone for his sins, and if he was discovered, not only would he suffer, but his son who was studying at Hogwarts would also be implicated. This was the most appropriate punishment for Lucius, who had caused him to lose several Horcruxes.
As for Lucius' betrayal, Voldemort had never thought about it. If he was in the half-dead state before, he would still be worried, but now that he has recovered all his strength, Voldemort does not think that any Death Eater dares to disobey him.
"Lucius, the task of supervising them is handed over to you, is there any problem?" Voldemort asked with his scarlet eyes narrowed.
"No problem!" Lucius stood up, pretended to be grateful, bowed deeply and said: "The Malfoy family is happy to serve you, the great Dark Lord!"
"Very good." Voldemort nodded with satisfaction.

In the stage play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child", which is not sure whether it is a sequel or a spin-off, there is a illegitimate daughter of Voldemort named Delphi Riddle, whose mother is Bellatrix. According to the setting, she was born in Malfoy Manor in March 1998.
According to this time, Bella was already pregnant when she participated in the Seven Potters Chase, and for most of the seventh part, she was working for Voldemort with a big belly...
Then Lupin's child was born in April of the same year, and a few weeks before Teddy Lupin was born, (I don't know how many weeks, but Hermione finished a pot of Polyjuice Potion, so at least a month had passed), Harry and his friends were captured at Malfoy Manor, and Bella tortured Hermione... At that time, she was either still pregnant or had just given birth.
However, from the side description of Harry's perspective, she should not be pregnant, that is, she had just given birth.
It makes sense in terms of time... But isn't Bella a little too busy...
And during this period, Rodolphus was always there, and was still working hard for Voldemort... Feiyangyang would cry when he saw it.
In addition, Voldemort was already 72 years old at this time... Even if you deduct the time when he was half dead, he was in his 50s and almost 60 years old.
