Chapter 173 The Month of Disappearance

"This prophecy was originally only known to Dumbledore and the descendant of that Trelawney family, but the Dark Lord's men overheard it."

"He did not hesitate to tell this information to his lord, and the Dark Lord did not sit idly after learning about it. Soon he pinpointed the prophesied child, the boy who had only recently been born in the Potter family!"

"Although Dumbledore had helped them to hide, a betrayer still appeared among us. The Dark Lord found the Potters that night, and also found the one in the prophecy, his pre-destined enemy."

Nick's voice became incredibly low.

"It was a massacre that night, the only member of the family who was intact was the mother of the prophesied boy, a prophecy that was originally viewed with great hope by the entire magical community became a joke."

"It was also on that night that the Dark Lord changed like never before."

"After he killed the Potter family, he disappeared from the magical world, and no one knew where he had gone, not even his closest followers."

"The disappearance caused many chain reactions, the wizards of the magical world thought that the prophecy worked in the end and that the Dark Lord had actually died with his predestined enemy. His subordinates also became impatient and went crazy trying to search the entire magical world until one month later, when the dark lord reappeared."

Jon's gaze became deeper and deeper with Nick's narrative.

He caught the crux of the matter, as he had guessed before, the node where the change in Voldemort occurred was on the night of killing Harry Potter.

Not only Harry Potter, the prophesied saviour, was killed, but more crucially, what happened to Voldemort himself?

"And right after the Dark Lord reappeared, it was like he was a different person." Nick's voice began to become puzzled, "the most significant change is that he began to restrain the actions of his men."

"After breaking the prophecy that encouraged everyone, his prestige had reached the peak of the British magical world, and this should have been the beginning of his recklessness. However, at that time he assembled all his followers."

"The speculators, the wavers, those loyal to him, all attended that particular assembly. He said that their past violent actions were all wrong, making purebloods greater could not be based on violence alone, they had to have sound systems, and sound ideas, so that those who are truly capable of wielding power can see the future of their organization clearly."

"He said that the ancient wizards were foolish, that they did not understand the importance of keeping the wizard bloodline pure. This is a mistake made by the ancestors, and it can't all be borne by the current half-blood wizards. Half-blood wizards are at fault, yet they are not as faulted as those muggle wizards, after all, they still have the noble blood left in them."

Jon's face became unbearably solemn.

He knew that this meeting was the beginning of Voldemort's change and the beginning of his official transformation from a terrorist to an ambitious man!

"His words surprised everyone who was there, yet it excited almost everyone just as much."

"The loyalists have an absolute adoration for their lord and will simply obey whatever decisions he issues. The speculators and waverers, on the other hand, were overjoyed to find that their originally unclear pureblood status had been proven."

"Those pureblood families that have been passed down in the magical world to this day are very few and far between in terms of truly keeping their bloodline wizards pure from beginning to end with no muggle involvement. They hold high the banner of Pureblood, in fact, it is simply to raise the guise that they are more noble than others."

"The dark lord used to be crazy enough to make many people think that he insisted on absolute purebloodism, and once it was found that there were dishonourable stains in the family history among the people who follow him, then no matter how much merit they had previously achieved, they would be pushed into the abyss of death."

"But in the present it is different. The perfection of the pureblood theory represents the legitimacy of their privileges being perfected, especially after the dark lord went further to distinguish the boundaries of pureblood, half-blood and muggle wizards, the stains of history will no longer be liquidated, and more people see the benefits, and more people feel that everything he does is not only from madness, he can really take the vast majority of people to a better future. "

Jon's mind unconsciously recalled a phrase - unite the majority and fight a handful.

The memory of that dark past made Nick's face unbearably gloomy.

"Muggle wizards have completely turned into what they call mudbloods since then, it's just they didn't classify Muggle wizards who have already married pureblood or half-blood wizards at that time, as slaves, other than that every muggle wizard is a slave."

"But even so, they still felt that the superior wizards did not need so many slaves. A purge against muggle wizards began, and all those who did not accept the status as slaves were begun to be slaughtered."

"The Ministry of Magic was powerless to stop this, and the Dark Lord became unprecedentedly powerful after his return, much more powerful than the one who broke the prophecy before him! The wizarding government soon fell and became a loyal lackey of the Dark Lord, Muggle wizards suffered a bloodbath, with many fleeing to Hogwarts Castle, which at the time had Dumbledore as its patron."

"What happened later on, you should also know, Dumbledore and the Dark Lord duelled in the castle, and Dumbledore ultimately lost to him."

"Many Muggle wizards were killed, the rest could only become slaves, the whole British magical world became what it is now, Dumbledore with the rest of the resistance began to exile, until now."

"The Dark Lord has a huge contrast before and after, he went from crazy to rational, from powerful to more powerful only in an extremely short time."

Jon said softly.

"The month he disappeared after killing the Potter family."

"Right!" Nick gritted his teeth and said, "The question arises in that month, where did the dark lord go? What did he do? Who did he see? These are all key, and Dumbledore has all along been investigating it, that is, all his traces during that period of time."

Jon stared at Nick.

"And that's what Dumbledore asked you to help do?"

Nick nodded.

"That's right, I'm a ghost, and after I don't have the original restrictions, I can get in and out of a lot of places that wizards don't have access to, and that's my biggest advantage."

"What about the result?"

Facing Jon's question, Nick slowly answered

"Even if he is more powerful, he is still a living person, and as long as he is a living person, it is impossible to operate in this world without leaving any traces."
