29 Chapter 29: Gaunt Family

VOLDEMORT POV

When Voldemort heard the question that Nick Hunt gave he suddenly became scared and angry, the reason why Voldemort changed his name from Tom Marvolo Riddle to Voldemort is because he wanted to hide his muggle father. 

Riddle is not a magical nickname but just a muggle family name, if his real identity were exposed who would follow him? Some of the Death Eaters followed him because Voldemort is very strong and knows a lot about Dark Magic. 

Most of the inner circle Death Eaters like the Lestrange family know about his father's status, but they still follow him because he was Salazar Slytherin descendant and can speak parseltongue. What Voldemort really scared if Nick Hunt told others about what his mother did, the ancient noble gaunt bewitched muggle to marry the muggle. This is an embarrassment to the house of Gaunt and the Slytherin, he wants to do something to Nick Hunt but he doesn't know the location of Nick Hunt. 

LOW-TIER DEATH EATER POV

"I know, our lord is Salazar Slytherin descendant. He must be from the house of gaunt", said one of Death Eaters. 

"Yeah, he can speak to the snake that is the proof he is a Slytherin descendant", replied another Death Eater. 

"Is our Lord from the house of Gaunt?" questioned another man. 

"I believe he is from a gaunt family", he said with a confidence. 

"But why he didn't use the Gaunt family name?" asked another. 

BELLATRIX POV

She as a fiancée of Lestrange has known this secret for a long time, his lord is not pureblood but half-blood from Merope Gaunt. As 28 ancient purebloods, the House of black has done research about the Gaunt family so directly that they know the identity of Voldemort. 

Bellatrix suddenly feels scared, if this information is widely known isn't Death Eater become a joker? Their lord is not pureblood but they wanted to eradicate mudblood and at the same time she also feels funny with herself. 

After learning about the future, his trust in Voldemort started to crumble. At this time Bellatrix is not the most loyal follower of Voldemort. She became loyal after going to Azkaban for more than 14 years, after that she became fanatics and obsessed with her lord. 

Even though Bella is a racist witch, at the same time she is smart. She had feelings that Voldemort would lose and many of the members of Death Eater had been targeted by an auror. Should she continue as a Dark Lord member or betray him?

She remembered her aunt's outburst, what she said before flooing to Hogwarts. So her belief started to falter. 

"What is the purpose she joining Death Eater, if all her family members died or entered Azkaban"

But will others accept her repentance? She had used legilimens a lot to a captured wizard. 

Ministry Of Magic

"What do you think about this?" asked the minister of magic. 

"I think with this revelation it will be easy to capture that bastard", said another wizard. 

"If I remember, he never said about his family name but according to the registry there is only one family who can speak with a snake it is the Gaunt family", replied another auror.

"Yeah, but he never told us that he is from the Gaunt family"

"I really love this Nick Hunt, he solved question after question about Death Eater", said the minister of Magic. 

"Yeah, this guy is really good"
