Chapter 33 Percy Weasley

With his iconic red hair, thick black-rimmed glasses, serious expression and reserved movements, Voldemort knew without asking that this was definitely Percy Weasley.

"Twenty-four prefects, you are the last one." Voldemort said.

"Yes, Professor." Percy replied cautiously.

"Why?"

"Because Peeves, Professor, he delayed me in sending the new students back to the lounge."

Voldemort nodded, he vaguely remembered this plot in the book.

"Tell me what you think about Gryffindor." Voldemort lowered his head and said while looking at the information.

Judging from the documents, Percy is indeed an excellent child, and as far as Voldemort knows, he is also an ambitious man who yearns for power.

Of course, he doesn't lack courage, which is why he was sorted into Gryffindor.

But Voldemort believed that the reason why he entered Gryffindor was more from his family - the Weasley family, which has been loyal to Gryffindor for generations.

But according to Voldemort, this should be a complete Slytherin:

Pureblood, smart, full of desire for power, and smooth enough to give up in the end. Isn't this enough for Slytherin?

"Sorry, Professor, I need more clarity."

Percy pushed up his glasses, as if he was afraid of offending Voldemort with his words, and said quickly, "I mean, I don't know where to start."

Voldemort nodded, but shook his head, which made Percy nervous.

"You have to be more decisive, Percy, even when it comes to people in authority."

Voldemort stood up, got him a glass of water, and brought it to him, "You have to remember that when those in power choose their subordinates, there are only two things that they value most."

Facing the professor's face so close to him, Percy swallowed nervously, but then asked excitedly: "Professor...Professor, I want to know what these two points are."

"Loyalty and responsibility."

Voldemort put down the water, stood up and said.

"Loyalty determines how close you are to the person in power, and responsibility determines how much power and responsibility the person in power will give you."

Percy nodded vigorously, trying to remember these two points in his mind - he was the one who was going to enter the Ministry of Magic, and it was very important to remember these two points.

"And decisiveness is the prerequisite for responsibility. You can't expect a person who speaks straight words to be responsible." Voldemort asked with a smile.

"Yes, Professor, I understand." Percy nodded fiercely, and then asked, "Professor, I need you to give me a more specific question."

"A very good answer, but this in itself is a trap because the scope is too broad, and your rhetorical question is the key to solving this problem."

Voldemort's appreciation made Percy's face turn as red as his hair, and he excitedly waved his fist under the table.

"Then my question becomes: objectively evaluate Gryffindor and tell what kind of students it produces."

Voldemort took a glass of water for himself, sat down and took a sip before speaking.

"Please give me some time," Percy said bravely.

Voldemort nodded and began to play with the beads on his wrist - it was a bead composed of forty-nine small wooden beads, which looked beautiful and mysterious.

"I've thought about it, Professor."

"explain."

"I think……"

"Changing feeling to thinking is a sign of power."

"Good professor, I think Gryffindor is cultivating students who are adventurous, but in my opinion this is wrong."

Voldemort raised his eyebrows - You silly boy, I am asking you to express yourself bravely, not to make you dare to say anything.

"Explain it." Voldemort cleared his throat.

"Okay, Professor." Percy puffed out his chest, "My two brothers, you may not know them, but they are naughty people."

Voldemort nodded. Of course he knew about the twins and liked them very much, but it was a pity that it was difficult to win them over - what if you can't get them, should you destroy them?

"They are always deducted points by Professor McGonagall, but from my observation, it is not enough to make them correct. Even vaguely, I feel that Professor McGonagall is encouraging them."

"Why?" Voldemort asked in surprise.

"Because she never solves the problem in essence." Percy said seriously, "Let them separate, starting from the two dormitories, to the seating arrangement, which will make them a lot more honest."

Voldemort slid his index finger up and down his chin and said thoughtfully: "You mean, the two of them together will become troublesome, and if they are alone..."

"Yes, Professor, they depend on each other and make each other troublesome."

"Then tell me, why did Professor McGonagall do this?"

"Let them set an example for the Gryffindor children and let them explore bravely. My two younger brothers even go in and out of the Forbidden Forest. I think Hagrid can easily spot them, but he never cares."

"Having the courage to break the rules is also a way of education. We can't teach all children to be carved out of the same mold." Voldemort had to put his words back. This Percy really dared to say it.

"Yes, but even Slytherin is more honest than them, which is a bit too much." Percy complained.

Voldemort nodded and did not dwell on this topic any longer.

"Okay, Percy, this question is over." Voldemort said, "Tell me what magic you know, about offensive and defensive spells."

Percy nodded and immediately began to explain the magic he knew.

It has to be said that this prefect, who has obtained twelve certificates like his brother Bill in the ordinary wizard level examination, is indeed very capable.

After several questions, Voldemort frowned.

"Professor Quirrell, am I unable to satisfy you?" Percy asked somewhat cautiously.

"No, on the contrary, I am really satisfied." Voldemort sighed and said, "But you are in fifth grade and you need to take the ordinary wizard level exam this year. This is very important."

Percy was stunned, he obviously didn't think that much.

"But it's not impossible."

Voldemort's words immediately excited Percy - it almost hinted that Voldemort wanted to choose him.

"Please tell me, Professor, and I will get it done by any means."

"Calm down, Percy, of course I'll tell you."

Voldemort picked up Percy's introduction sheet, shook it, and said, "From the introduction here, I think you should have used a time turner like me."

Percy blinked and immediately understood what Voldemort meant.

"Yes, Professor, I have used it. I will immediately apply to Professor McGonagall to use it again..."

Before he could finish his words, Voldemort waved his hand and interrupted him.

"You have to understand the cost of using a time turner, exchanging future time for present time, and there are certain risks." Voldemort said.

"I do," Percy said firmly.

"I'm happy about this, but for a position as an assistant coach, you have to consider whether it's worth it. I'll give you one day and tell me the answer tomorrow night."

"No need to think about it, Professor Quirrell, I will go to Professor McGonagall to apply now. Please be sure to save this spot for me." Percy said and stood up.

"Don't think about it anymore?" Voldemort also stood up and asked.

"No need, Professor."

Percy said seriously, "I have benefited a lot from this short conversation. I think you are the teacher I need."

A big smile broke out on Voldemort's face: "Then, I'll wait for your news. After all, it's not easy to apply for a time turner."

"I have experience, please believe me, Professor." Percy bowed and said, "Good night, Professor, good news will come tomorrow morning."

"I hope so, good night." Voldemort smiled and waved goodbye.

People from the Weasley family, if they could join the Death Eaters... Just thinking about it would make Voldemort so happy that he couldn't sleep.

Isn't this guy a Slytherin? I shit while standing upside down!
