Elwyn perked up. It was information on the homestead of house-elves.
According to the schedule, Riddle should have graduated from Hogwarts. In school, because of Dumbledore's watchful eyes, there were many things that he did not dare to do and could not do. Especially after the time in the secret room, he knew that he had once again aroused Dumbledore's suspicion, so he would definitely be more careful and not do anything.
It was not hard to imagine that once he graduated from Hogwarts, the adult Lord Voldemort would become unbridled.
Because he didn't have Dumbledore to monitor him, he didn't have so many restrictions.
"In the memory that we are about to see, Riddle has already graduated and left Hogwarts." Sure enough, Dumbledore said, "I hope you can understand that as his age increases and his power increases, the situation in front of us has become even more confusing and strange. Finding evidence on the young Riddle was difficult, but finding someone who could remember the adult Lord Voldemort was almost impossible. In fact, I doubt whether there is any living man but himself who can give us a detailed account of his life after he left Hogwarts.
"However, I am glad to have found this memory. This is also a very important memory, because it may reveal to us another soul vessel of the Lord Voldemort, as well as information about the home of the House-elves. " As he spoke, he took out a small crystal bottle. The color of the memory inside was not pearl white, but a sticky light yellow. "I hope you are not tired of sneaking into other people's memories, because this memory is different from what you saw before. It comes from a very old house-elf, her name is Hao Qi."
"House elf Hao Qi?" Elwyn asked.
"Yes, the family she used to serve was Helga? The last descendant of Hufflepuff in this world. This kind of inheritance is a bit like Slytherin and the former Gunter family. " Dumbledore said, "This is a very important memory, but before we look at it, I must tell you how the Lord Voldemort left the Hogwarts."
"Well, you might have already guessed that he was promoted to the seventh grade with the best results in every exam. The students around him were all thinking about what they wanted to do after graduation. Almost all of them thought that Tom Cruise was a good choice. Riddle would have amazing achievements. He was a prefect, a top student, and had received special awards from the school. I know that several instructors, including Professor Slughorn, have suggested that he enter the Ministry of Magic and offered to introduce him, but he has refused. Then they learned that he had gone to work at Boggin and Bock. "
"Boggin Bock?" Harry was stunned. This was something that surprised him again tonight. Dumbledore said a lot of secrets about the Lord Voldemort that were not known to the public. Every one of them was enough to cause a huge uproar. Even if Harry was mentally prepared, he still needed a long time to digest all of this.
Thinking of this, he looked at Elwyn, who was beside him, with admiration. Elwyn's expression had not changed much …
"Professor, you mean, the Lord Voldemort used to work at Boggin and Bock?"
"Yes, Boggin and Bock. It's the black magic shop that we are already very familiar with." Dumbledore said calmly, "When you enter Hao Qi's memory, you will see how attractive that place is to her. But it was not the Lord Voldemort's first choice. At that time, no one knew about it. I was one of the few people who heard about it from the old headmaster. Lord Voldemort first looked for Professor Duppett, who was the headmaster of Hogwarts before me, and asked if he could stay at Hogwarts to teach. "
"He wanted to stay here?" Harry was even more surprised. Lord Voldemort actually wanted to stay at Hogwarts!
This was unbelievable. From the previous description, he had thought that Lord Voldemort wanted to leave Hogwarts as soon as possible and escape from Dumbledore's surveillance!
Elwyn also thought quickly. There was no doubt that Hogwarts was very attractive to Lord Voldemort.
If it were him, he would also choose to stay at Hogwarts. Many people thought that since Elwyn was so powerful, why would he stay at Hogwarts to study? In fact, there were still many mysteries of magic waiting to be explored and discovered in this ancient magic academy …
"Yes, Lord Voldemort wanted to stay at Hogwarts. I believe he had several reasons, although he did not tell Professor Duppett any of them," Dumbledore replied. "First of all," Dumbledore replied, "it is important to note that Voldemort is more attached to this school than he is to any individual. We have enough reasons to believe that Hogwarts is his happiest place. It is the first and only place that he feels like home. "
"Second, this castle is a stronghold of ancient magic. There are not many places like this in the current magic world. Lord Voldemort undoubtedly knows more secrets here than most students, but he may feel that there are still many unsolved mysteries and many magic treasures to be discovered."
"Third, as a teacher, he can have a lot of influence on the young wizards. This idea may have come from Professor Slughorn, who was the professor who had the best relationship with him. Slughorn showed him how influential a teacher could be. I never thought that Lord Voldemort planned to stay at Hogwarts for the rest of his life. I think he saw this as a good place to recruit people. He could build a team for himself. "
Recruiting Death Eaters from Hogwarts was much more reliable than recruiting fugitives, giants, werewolves, vampires, etc.
"Of course, Lord Voldemort did not get the job in the end." Dumbledore continued, "Professor Duppett said that he was only 18 years old, too young, but that he was welcome to apply again in two years, if he still wanted to teach by then."
"So, Professor, what do you think about this?"
"Very uneasy." Dumbledore said, "I sincerely suggest that Armando not hire him. I did not list out the reasons I just mentioned, because Professor Duppett likes Lord Voldemort very much and believes in his honesty. However, I do not want Lord Voldemort to return to this school, especially not to get a position of power."
Dumbledore's reputation was very high at that time, and he was not an ordinary professor. Not long after that, he went to Newmungaard alone and defeated the powerful Grindelwald, ending the chaos caused by the first The Dark Lord Grindelwald and the large-scale war in the European magic world, and took over the position of principal of Hogwarts.
Therefore, his opinion was very important, and to a large extent, influenced Professor Duppett's decision.
When he became principal, Lord Voldemort had no chance to return to Hogwarts.
In other words, the reason why Lord Voldemort did not teach at Hogwarts after graduation was mainly because of Dumbledore's interference.
"Professor, what position did Lord Voldemort want in the beginning? What class did he want to teach? "Harry asked subconsciously.
As soon as he finished, before Dumbledore could answer, he thought of the answer.
