It seed that Voldemort's purpose in visiting Sir Stoker was the exact opposite of going to the North Pole to find Slytherin.
Sir Stoker had told him quite explicitly that the fundantal reason the pact, which Jon had got from the Tower and destroyed, had been created by his ancestor was to separate the consciousness of the human from that of the beast which was created due to the Maledictus blood curse.
Voldemort had coaxed Sir Stoker into making the pact with him to separate the two consciousness within him, allowing one to dominate.
He then went on to find the Slytherin portrait within the labyrinth beneath the Arctic ice and told a big lie to get this ancestor of his to help him to fuse the remnants of souls in the Horcruxes.
After deducing this outline, Jon just found it really ssy.
It wasn't the logic of the matter that seed ssy, but the soul within Voldemort's body seed too ssy.
In the beginning, when he had left the tower, Jon had thought that the consciousness Voldemort had used the pact to separate was actually from the remnant soul of one of his defiant Horcrux.
But now, it was clear that Voldemort had known from the start that it would not be easy to get the split soul back, so he had gone straight to where the Slytherin portrait was and sought out a way to fuse the split souls back together alone.
So, what about the consciousness he wanted to segregate using a pact? What is it then?
Jon's face showed a mixture of reflection and disbelief, and Dumbledore had obviously thought of it as well.
The information they knew was shared with each other, so if Jon could think of this problem, there was no way Dumbledore couldn't figure it out.
"Mr Slytherin, the magic you taught Riddle to fuse a split soul, can it also be used to fuse his soul with another soul?" Dumbledore asked.
Slytherin shook his head decisively.
"There is no possibility of that, there is no possibility of two unrelated souls fusing together. If soone could really do that, then he would be equal to being invincible, a stronger soul would lead to a stronger wizard's 'will' and stronger magic, and to really be able to make incompatible souls compatible would an that a wizard's 'will' could reach heights with no upper limit, sothing that is absolutely out of anyone's reach in this world."
Hearing his explanation, Dumbledore's face showed contemplation.
He actually knew more than Jon did, after all, on that night in the re-educational camp, although it was Jon who had destroyed the pact by shredding it on the sea, it was Dumbledore who had actually co face to face with Voldemort.
He had seen with his own eyes how Voldemort had behaved at that mont after the pact had been destroyed, and it was clearly the act of two different consciousnesses fighting for the right to control that body.
The consciousness that had been in control was threatened by the one that had been separated by the pact when the pact was destroyed, and it had even taken over part of Voldemort's body, hence his self-inflicted act of stabbing himself through the palm of his hand.
This ans that the two souls in Voldemort's body were not able to rge, and the fact that they were not able to rge ans that one of them must not be Voldemort himself
The information from the Slytherin end can at least confirm one thing, that is, the soul that has been in control of the body must be Voldemort's own, otherwise, he couldn't be able to fuse the soul fragnts in the Horcruxes.
Only the one that originally belonged to him could be fused anew.
Then. Who is that soul that is not Voldemort's?
And is that soul a friend or foe to Dumbledore as well as to Jon and the others?
There was no plausible answer to that question for the mont, but the Slytherin portrait itself had more significance than simply giving them information about Voldemort.
As one of the four founders who had built Hogwarts Castle, he could well be described as a living fossil.
In the magical world, there is certainly no such thing as modern magic being definitely weaker than ancient magic, just like the evolution of the Unlocking Charm; from Open Sesa - Portaberto - to Alohomora, from violence to subtlety, it is a continuous process of progress, and the current ones definitely work better than the previous ones.
But before Hogwarts was founded and the schools beca completely mainstream, wizards mainly passed on their skills in the master and apprentice format, which led to a lot of uncommon magic that remained undiscovered or poorly discovered in modern tis being lost.
Slytherin would certainly know so magic like that, just as he was able to devise a detailed soul-fusion plan for Voldemort.
Secondly, it is about the identity of Hogwarts' orthodoxy.
With two Hogwarts existing in the wizarding world today, a magical portrait of Slytherin personally acknowledging the existence of one would be absolutely extrely significant.
To the point where it could even rival Hogwarts Castle significant in itself, as it was the four founders who decided to establish Hogwarts first before Hogwarts Castle ca into existence, to begin with.
It's just that in the bet between Dumbledore and Voldemort regarding the upcoming Triwizard Tournant, there is a clause about the legitimacy of the one and only Hogwarts.
Now even with Slytherin standing up and claiming it, it still depended on the final outco of the tournant, after all, as long as the blood pact is not broken, then only one Hogwarts will exist after this Triwizard Tournant.
It was at this point that Jon rembered sothing else, and looked at Dumbledore.
"Professor, so was it you who got soone to sign up for the tournant last night?"
Hearing him ask about it, Dumbledore shook his head.
"Both students, and Minerva, had the idea of trying to slip your na into the Goblet of Fire, but I actually know that there was no need for that, the Dark Lord himself would let soone sign up for you."
Jon blinked.
"You an he was sure I would die at the North Pole and as soon as he threw my na into the Goblet of Fire, that goblet would also pick my na for sure, and then when I was chosen and didn't get to play in the tournant, it would be one less person in a tournant that is supposed to consist of four people from two sides?"
Dumbledore replied.
"That's just one aspect, I guess that although he thought you wouldn't make it out of the North Pole, and even if he was wrong, it wouldn't have mattered to him whether you managed to co back alive or not; the tournant was held in Hogwarts castle, and he has plenty of ti to make so small moves if he wants to deal with you later. It's just that what he didn't expect was that you not only ca back alive, but you killed his most capable subordinate, even more so in front of him and so many others from all over Europe, and that's what angered him the most."
Voldemort's scheming and cunning were evident in every aspect, and most crucially now that he had learned of Jon as a person.
Dumbledore's voice beca serious and heavy.
"So next, he will certainly try to kill you by any ans possible, I will not leave the tournant grounds once the Triwizard Tournant has officially begun, but you must also be careful yourself."

Seeing as there are quite a few misunderstandings, let stress first that Voldemort is definitely not possessed by a transmigrator, that interpretation is the sa as forcing a private setting on this without any novelty or interesting bits, I certainly would never write it that way, the truth is bound to be sothing I've derived based on the original setting. Moreover, what Voldemort is doing now, even if it is clever, it is not sothing a normal transmigrator would do at all.
