Dumbledore: Next Time You Come To Me To Seek Personal Gain, Can You Come When There Is No One?(1)
Blake laughed inwardly since he didn't that was the case.
In fact, they had few things in common than the heavens and earth.
Because of the existence of Mrs. Marianne.
When he was in the orphanage, he was much happier than Tom had been in his situation.
And Blake himself wasn't as shady as Tom had been.
Like using his awakened magic power to bully other children at every turn.
He really didn't understand why Tom would like to do this kind of thing in the first place.
When Voldemort saw that Blake was silent.
He thought that Blake was agreeing silently to what he was saying.
Therefore, the intensity of his demagogy increased.
"Listen..... Blake, you're very gifted with magic."
"And such a good magical talent should not be bound by any factors!"
"You were born strong, you should be your own master! Otherwise, it would be a shameful waste of your powerful talent!"
"Although I don't intend to offend anyone, I still have to say that Dumbledore's restraint and distrust of you have hindered your pursuit of power."
Blake looked up at Quirrell angrily.
"Professor... you shouldn't have said that to me."
"Professor Dumbledore adopted me and rescued me from the mire!"
"So... even if he really... restrains me. I think it's for my own good!"
"Sorry, Professor, I think I should go."
"However, you can be rest assured that I will not tell Dumbledore about our conversation tonight!"
Blake stood up, pretending that he wanted to leave.
Voldemort smiled, "Really? Are you really fine with that?"
"You obviously have a better future."
"You can obviously pursue a stronger power!"
"You should remember, that powerful force..."
"You should have experienced the wonderful feeling when you master that powerful power!"
"But that kind of power... Dumbledore will never teach you!"
Blake stopped cooperatively.
He seemed very hesitant, very tangled!
"Nothing should be a stumbling block on your way to becoming stronger!"
"Yes, I said anything!"
"Including... Dumbledore!"
Blake turned around abruptly, and said, "Enough! I can't... not betray Professor Dumbledore!"
Voldemort still had a smile on his face.
It seemed that the reaction of the boy in front of him was completely within his expectations!
Yep, he'd already turned Blake's emotions all the way up.
Blake and Barty Jr. had similarities.
But they were not quite the same either.
Barty Jr. lacked paternal love, or in other words, lacked attention!
He just needed to give him a little attention, similar to the care of the elders.
And the boy would treat himself like a father.
But Blake was different.
Dumbledore seemed wary of him though.
But still took good care of him.
Therefore, Blake's current reaction was the most reasonable.
If only he'd happily decided to betray Dumbledore and join his side.
That would be good!
Therefore, Voldemort had foreseen Blake's refusal at the beginning and expected it.
Blake's only conflict with Dumbledore was Dumbledore's strong desire to control him.
With Dumbledore watching, Blake was doomed to have no access to the dark arts he so desired!
It was enough for Voldemort to know that.
So Voldemort was very confident!
In this world, no one who pursued power could resist the temptation of black magic!
"How can you say you're betraying Dumbledore? You're only after power!"
"How many people in this world are not living for what they want?"
"Some people are after money, some are after power, some are after beauty."
"They all feel that these pursuits are rightful!"
"But why does it turn into betrayal when it comes to pursuing power?"
{AN:\\ He is kinda making sense tho}
"Didn't you say it yourself during the first club event of the Dueling Club?"
"Everyone has the right to pursue their desires!"
"Did you forget what you said yourself?"
Blake fell silent again.
The slightly contorted expression on his face told Voldemort that the child was struggling with the thought.
Voldemort knew it was half done.
If Blake really rejected himself completely.
Then he would have left the place without hesitation and gone to Dumbledore to report him.
But now, he was hesitating.
And when he wanted to leave just now, he said that he would not tell Dumbledore about tonight's conversation.
This was already very telling.
For giving up the pursuit of power, giving up exposure to black magic.
This child was very unwilling.
Voldemort could see it in his eyes!
Because... he was like that back then.
Looking at his unwilling eyes, it was as if he saw himself hiding in the bathroom looking in the mirror back then...
He had sworn to himself in the mirror then.
That he would never allow others stronger than him to coerce him with power again!
At that time, his eyes on the mirror.
Was exactly the same as Blake now!
"Okay...you can think about these things slowly after you go back."
"I just want to ask you now... have you read the travel book I gave you?"
Blake nodded.
"So... the magic inside. You learned it too?"
Blake was silent for a moment.
"I'm afraid to try it. But I can feel it... it's powerful..."
Voldemort was satisfied that Blake was saying he hadn't dared to try, not that he hadn't learned yet.
This proved that this gifted child had already mastered the magic.
At least in theory, it was fully under control!
He believed that there was no need for him to panic!
"Of course it's powerful..." Voldemort opened his mouth, and he spat out a ball of fire into his hand.
From far away, Blake felt a hot burning sensation on his skin!
This was Voldemort's dark arts attainment.
Even if it was not his own body.
But a powerful black magic such as Fiercefire Curse which was difficult to control.
He could still manipulate it at will like a normal flame.
Voldemort saw the shock in Blake's eyes.
"How is it? Is it as powerful as you imagined?"
Blake nodded, then shook his head again.
"It is stronger than I thought..."
With a flick of Voldemort's hand, the Fiendfire disappeared.
As if it never existed!
"You should have mastered all the theoretical knowledge of this magic, right?"
Blake nodded hesitantly.
Voldemort gave another satisfied smile.
Since Blake said so...
Then he must have simulated the process of releasing the Fiendfyre Curse countless times in his mind!
He had suppressed it for too long, and just needed an excuse to release black magic!
Voldemort decided to let him in to give him that excuse.
"Then... show me."
