Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Did he get it?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yeah, I'm reading." Tiera——

One of them, Tiera, said casually, then picked up a piece of smoked salmon, put it into his mouth, and started eating slowly.

"I've never quite understood something." Dumbledore asked doubtfully, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"No more distinction between wizards and Muggles, no more distinction between humans and non-human beings, no more oppression, no more exploitation, no more-"

"No, that's not it." Dumbledore interrupted, "What I'm asking about is your purpose in this matter. You lured Voldemort back to Hogwarts, let him into Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, and even put the complete The materials for the ceremony of becoming a god are placed there, what is your purpose?"

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Tiera said with a smile, "Send him to become a god."

"Why? Why did you send him to become a god?" Dumbledore asked puzzledly, "You obviously have the ability to eliminate him but you didn't do it. If you just let him be used as an external threat to unite the wizards in the magic world, , there is absolutely no need for you to let Voldemort become a god, there is absolutely no need for Voldemort to gain such powerful power."

"My real purpose is to send him to become a god." Tiera said with a smile. "As for making him an external threat that can unite the wizards in the magic world. To be honest, he is not the only choice. I also have There are other options, but you will definitely not agree with them because many people will die."

"So you want Tom to be like Hathaway Romanoff?" Dumbledore asked, "and make him a tool at the end of the ceremony, or in other words, become your 'authority'?"

"That's pretty much the plan." Tiera said, "But obviously, I can't appear directly in front of him and throw the notebook of the ceremony of becoming a god in front of him, so I can only use some small means to induce him to complete the process of becoming a god. It’s a ceremony.”

"What? Are you feeling distressed?" Seeing that Dumbledore stopped talking, Tiera guessed what he was thinking, "At this point, you still want to save his soul?"

"No." Dumbledore sighed, shook his head and denied, "It's just a little sad. I'm old. Apart from people from the Golden Book Conference, I don't have many acquaintances anymore. Even many of my students are one step ahead of me. Leave.”

"So you started to miss this Dark Lord?" Tiera asked.

"No, it's just sad." Dumbledore said, "Maybe a little bit sad. You know, he is also very talented. If I hadn't experienced Gellert before, I would probably be like Slughorn. Just like En, I tried my best to cultivate him.”

"That's good." Tiera said with a smile, taking a sip of red wine.

Hogwarts, the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, who knows how many miles below the ground.

"Open" Voldemort finally finished flipping through all the diaries and came to the copper door that entered the real secret room, and read in a hoarse Parseltongue.

but--

The huge round copper door did not open and was still embedded in the wall motionlessly.

Voldemort growled angrily, and after thinking for a moment, he said another sentence in Parseltongue——

"For a greater purpose."

"choke--"

This time, the huge bronze door finally made some movement.

The small metal snake crawled out from a corner of the copper door. After circling the copper door, the copper door slowly opened in front of Voldemort——

Although Voldemort had already expected what was going on behind the copper door, when the copper door was fully opened and Grindelwald's laboratory was completely revealed in front of him, Voldemort was still shocked -

The original Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was a dimly lit room. There was only a passage in the middle of the room, leading to the huge, stone face of Slytherin. On both sides of the passage were endless black waters. From the endless black waters From the center, many stone pillars engraved with entangled snakes rushed out, towering to support the ceiling that melted into the darkness above, casting long and strange black shadows throughout the room.

but now--

Now it is illuminated by magic lights hanging from the ceiling and serpentine stone pillars. Bright white light fills every corner of the secret room below, dispelling the endless darkness.

Under the bright white light——

The place is filled with endless corpses.

In the dark waters, on the towering stone pillars, and in the narrow aisles, corpses were neatly stacked one after another——

Just like stacking bricks or lumber, one after another, very similar corpses——

A corpse that looks very similar to Tiera.

These corpses have faces and bodies similar to Tiera's, but most of them look like humans and animals, or have the characteristics of two humans fused together.

But most of them have rotted to the point of exposing their bones, and countless maggots and rats are climbing on the corpses, gnawing at the carrion.

Each corpse has a bracelet on its right hand with a number on it.

What Voldemort can see, from T-034 all the way to T-483, means there are at least four hundred and eighty-three corpses here.

Countless Tiera are like guinea pigs in an experiment, piled randomly in corners and ponds, allowing them to slowly rot.

Even from Voldemort's perspective, the scene here was too weird and terrifying.

But Voldemort still walked in and walked towards the test bench at the end of the passage. There, on the dark table of the test bench over there, under the dim light, Voldemort saw a diary made of basically the same material as the one outside. There.

Voldemort had a hunch that those diaries would be the most important diaries——

If the external diaries are sorted by date, there are no diaries from 1989 to 1995, which happen to be around the time Tiera entered school.

It may record the most critical content about the ceremony of becoming a god.

"By the way." Dumbledore, who was still in the hall of the Ministry of Magic, asked, "Where did the corpse in the Chamber of Secrets you used to decorate you come from?"

"Are you worried that I will kill innocent people indiscriminately?" Tiera asked.

"Of course." Dumbledore said intently.

"I remember I said that death means waste, and no life should be wasted if they can serve a greater purpose." Tiera said with a smile, "These corpses come from the cave where Voldemort hid the Horcrux. The inferi."

"Except for the corpse of Regulus Black, all the other corpses have been transformed into my image, or something similar to my image, as evidence of 'Grindelwald's' evil experiments, making everything more believable."
