Chapter 249: Thinking of the future

Despite his gift of tongues allowing him to speak the language he had unfortunately not mastered the ability enough to actively control which language he spoke. Instead the ability automatically translated the language to english in his mind so that he doesn't even notice that it wasn't if he wasn't paying attention to the lip movements of the person speaking. Thankfully he could feel a slight shift in his magic when he himself starts speaking a different language. He was very slowly working on actively speaking other languages but it was hard to control to say the least , like mentally making your heart speed up or slow down.-

Sure it was possible but it required a level of absolute mental control that was borderline inhuman. Learning to write a new language was much easier in comparison as he could still visibly see the letters despite his ability translating them in his mind. At that point it was merely a matter of memorizing and familiarizing himself with the languages written word and he was good to go. His avian dominion ability was the only one that was untrainable as it was less ability and more a matter of hierarchy.-

He couldn't be blamed either since he was able to admit that this version of Voldemort from before insanity clouded his mind was a tricky and intelligent individual. Such a person was very unlikely to just ignore the threat posed by someone just as talented in close proximity to themselves. While this version of Voldemort was arrogant much like his older self he was by no means arrogant to the point of incautiousness. This was proven when the attacks fifty years ago stopped after Hagrid was framed for them.-

Rather than continue to terrorize the school and risk getting found out by a Dumbledore who was far less passive than todays version he bid his time. The argument could of course be made that he had accomplished his goal and thus didn't need to continue the attacks but that begs the question , what was his goal? It definitely wasn't to get Hagrid kicked out of school as there were easier ways. It also couldn't have been to get Dumbledore kicked as well because he clearly failed if that was the case.-

'No. The best explanation was that he realized that Dumbledore was on his trail and chose to hide instead. Someone blinded by arrogance would never make such a move so I need to keep an eye out for any attack on myself.' Nick thought seriously which also gave him an idea for a defensive ring that he couldn't help but grin at. It was by far the craziest idea he had ever even considered outside the time he had tried to make a world ring and made something that erased a chunk of it instead.
