I became Voldemort

The Hog's Head is a seedy tavern in Hogsmeade.

The first impression people get here is that it is shabby. The wooden sign at the door is broken, the bracket is broken, the door is broken, and even the tables as well as the chairs are damaged, not to mention the tableware in the bar is not complete.

Perhaps for the bartender at the Hog's Head Inn, brokenness is considered an aesthetic.

What's worse than being dilapidated is the filthiness. Not to mention the bloody wild boar's head that's been hanging at the door for who knows how many years.

The whole bar exudes a very strong smell of mutton, and thick layers of scum accumulate on the windows.

There is so much dust that the sunlight from the outside can barely penetrate.

What looked like compacted mud beneath one's feet was actually centuries of dirt paving the stone floor.

Its location is also very remote, far away from the central avenue of Hogsmeade and at the intersection of a path.

It's hard to say whether such a pub could exist in the Muggle world, but in the British wizarding world, the Hog's Head Inn is second only to the Three Broomsticks in popularity.

Because this is the only bar that doesn't exclude dark wizards at all.

Every dark wizard knows that the bartender at the Hog's Head Inn is not a nosy person. As long as you drink and pay and don't cause trouble, he doesn't care what you do here.

Who did the customers make a deal with, what magical animals were smuggled in, and what evil plans they had...

No one cares.

At first, this place was just a place for dark wizards to relax and have a drink, but slowly, it evolved into a gathering place for dark wizards. Many dark wizards like to meet here.

Tonks had flaxen hair today.

To be honest, Cyrus had never seen her hair color so low-key.

"Isn't it because of the commotion you made in front of the Ministry? As a result, you and I were assigned to other tasks." Tonks lowered her voice and said unhappily.

Although in the Ministry of Magic, Cyrus revealed that Rita Skeeter was an illegal Animagus, solving the crisis of public opinion. It also gave the Ministry of Magic the opportunity to use this incident to divert public attention from the attack.

But Umbridge still felt that Cyrus and Tonks had embarrassed the Ministry of Magic, so she secretly removed them from the mission to hunt down Sirius Black and Riddle, and replaced them with the most unpalatable supervising task.

But Cyrus was very interested in this task.

Because the object of their surveillance is - the goblin!

Tonks sat on one of the greasy chairs in the Hog's Head, nervously ordering a butterbeer. Not only her hair, but also the facial features on her face were changed. She also retracted herself into her robe, looking like a dark wizard. "What are you drinking?"

Cyrus sat on the chair in disgust, looking a little disgusted at the greasy tabletop. He very much suspected that the table here had never been cleaned. The entire tabletop was as sticky as if it had been poured with sugar water.

But his purpose was not to drink.

"Firewhisky," Cyrus ordered a glass casually.

Even though he disliked this place very much in his heart, on the outside, Cyrus acted like an ordinary dark wizard and didn't care about the filth there.

After all, no matter how bad the sanitary conditions here are, they are still much better than those of many dark wizards.

Tonks was looking furtively at others while she waited for her butterbeer, which attracted a lot of attention to the two of them.

Cyrus tapped the table gently with his hand, attracting Tonks's attention back: "First time coming to the Hog's Head? There is a rule here, don't pry into other people's affairs, do your own thing."

"But--"

Tonks originally wanted to say that her own business was to observe these dark wizards to see if there were any suspicious characters. But at least she was smart enough to understand that Cyrus meant that for others to hear and be at ease.

Because her actions just now have caused many dark wizards to begin to suspect that she is an Auror or someone else with evil intentions towards them.

"Sorry, it's indeed my first time here..."

Tonks made a husky sound from beneath her black robes. However, it is easy to tell that this voice is deliberately disguised like this, and there is a feeling of a new commer behind the hoarse tone.

Like an innocent sheep trying its best to disguise itself as a gray wolf.

At this time, more dark wizards gathered their eyes.

However, if their gaze was wary at first, it is now downright greedy.

A dark wizard who was inexperienced in the world was like a piece of fragrant cooked meat placed in front of their group of wolves who had been hungry for a long time. Although Cyrus and Tonks had only entered the bar not long ago, some dark wizards were already planning to attack Tonks on the road after they left.

As for Cyrus, he doesn't look like a newbie, and they're not willing to take any chances.

Cyrus didn't care at all about these looks. After all, they are just a bunch of people. Most of the dark wizards are not as powerful as Aurors. If he wanted to, he could wipe out all the dark wizards in the Hog's Head with a random spell.

He sat on the seat, looking only at Tonks, but in fact, he had already activated the Supersensory Charm, and every move in the bar was under his surveillance.

The effect of Supersensory Charm is like opening up a small-scale God's perspective, allowing him to clearly understand everything around him even without looking.

Of course, generally speaking, the supersensory spells cast by ordinary wizards do not have this effect. They cannot see clear portraits and colors, and the scenes they see are actually similar to thermal imaging.

And the ancient magic mastered by Cyrus——

Yes, just like the fire dragon's skin contains ancient magic, the Thunderbird also has ancient magic. The two ancient magics that Cyrus now masters are "controlling thunder and lightning" and "enhancing vision."

The latter not only strengthened his physical vision, but also gave him a magical vision. This allows him to clearly construct the original colors and details when casting some perception-based spells.

Just like now, he can clearly see every corner of the bar:

Aberforth picked up two cups that seemed to have never been washed and poured wine into them with an impatient look.

About seven dark wizards never took their eyes off Tonks as of now.

A few of them immediately gave up their suspicions. Some also lost interest in them.

There is also a rickety old wizard with a beard who has been looking at "The Quibbler" in his hand nonchalantly since the beginning. He has been smiling non-stop, showing his mouth with only one tooth left.

Cyrus didn't expect to see someone reading this newspaper in a place like this.

He took a curious look and found that "Fudge's 'Rotten Tooth' Plan" written by Lovegood was published in the newspaper.

Lovegood also wrote that the five defeated Aurors were proof that they were defeated by Tom Riddle alone because of toothache.
