Part 4: Back at home

No two hours later Voldemort had left.
Very little people followed him on his road to a peaceful life of love.
And again, being a fellow of Voldemort was forbidden. But this time it was because he was one of the good ones.
The first station on his travels led the former Dark Lord to Hogwarts, where he visited Albus Dumbledores marble tomb. After all, it had turned out that the former headmaster of Hogwarts had been right.
Several hours Voldemort just sat in front of the tomb.

Than he made a decision: He would become the new headmaster of Hogwarts.
As the news about him changing his mind had not yet reached Hogwarts it was easy for him to use the power of fear a last time to reach his goal.
Voldemort was now headmaster of Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry.

It was like his first day in school so many years ago, and yet everything was like coming home. Positively speaking.
He stood in front of the students, all the teachers in the back.
He did not know how to begin his speech, so he just started.

"Well...", he tried to smile, what was unexpectedly difficult.
He saw the feared look on the students faces, especially the younger kids seemed to nearly panic.
That at least gave him a good point to start with.
"First of all: Don't panic." They shared worried and irritated looks.
"I have come to change things. I finally realized what a fool I have been. I know that it is too late, and I can't be sorry enough for what I've done. But I decided to change. Change in every point of matter.
And I start right now, right here.
As some of you might have noticed, some of your teachers are missing at the table.
That is because I don't want you to be tought to hate and to kill.
During the next few days I'll try to find new, more proper teachers for you, who will teach you not only to defend against the Dark Arts, but also to defeat them.
I started this age of fear and terror and I have to end it. And I'll do, but I will need your help.
Because a war can't be won if the people don't want peace.
I don't want you to forgive me. But I want you to know that I'm different now and that I regret what I did.
I understand if you hate me for what I did, but shouldn't everyone get a second chance?
Isn't that what Dumbledore said? Everyone makes mistakes, some of them are just small, some of them, like mine, are big. Huge.
Dumbledore was a great man. Unfortunately I didn't understand that. Or maybe I just didn't want to.
Never – never! – forget him, because he knew about the power of love, a power I always regretted.
A power everyone needs.
A power that should never be withhold or taken away from anyone."

There he stopped. Not because there was nothing left to say, but because he just could not go on.
Professor McGonnagal, sitting right behind the new headmaster, made out the reason for his silence first: His shoulders trembled.
Voldemort cried in front of the whole school.
McGonnagal applauded. At first she was the only person breaking the silence while all the others just stared at the headmaster. Then, others started to applause, too, and suddenly everyone was applauding, except for some students and for most of the Slytherins, who were leaving the Great Hall by the dozen.

Yay...
What will Voldy do?
Is he going to change?
Will the students and teachers accept him?
