Chapter 1049 (1/2)
”He believed he was special.”
”Yes, Riedel was very happy to believe that he was - in his words -” special, ”Dumbledore said.
”Do you know - then?” Van Lin asked, frowning. In his eyes, it was obvious that Tom had shown his unknown ferocity from a very young age, while Dumbledore obviously
”Did I know I was seeing the most dangerous black wizard so far?” Dumbledore said, ”no, I didn't know he would be like this. However, he did interest me at the time. Back at Hogwarts, I kept a close eye on him. Now that I knew he was so lonely and helpless, I should have done something for him anyway, and now I've learned that I should do something not just for him, but for other people as well. ”
Dumbledore said faintly, ”his power, as you can hear, was very developed at that time. For such a young wizard, it was very amazing - extremely intriguing and ominous - that he had found his own way to control them and began to use them consciously. And as you can see, it's not just a typical young wizard's random experiment: he has used magic on other people, to intimidate, to punish, to manipulate. The story of the hanging rabbit and the two boys and girls who were lured to the cave by him are very thought-provoking ”If I want to, I can get them hurt”... ”
”And he's a rascal,” interrupted Fanling. ”It's something only the Slytherins have, right?”
”Yes, it is; a rare ability that is easily associated with black magic, but as we all know, great and good witches also have serpentine voices. In fact, his ability to talk to snakes didn't upset me. What bothered me was his apparent instinct for cruelty, concealment and control
”Instinct?” Van Lin repeated a sentence, and then pondered at the scene in the basin, since childhood, Tom's desire for control is very strong, which is not a good thing.
”Time is making fun of us again,” Dumbledore pointed to the dark sky outside the window, ”but before we leave, I would like to remind you of certain features in that scene, which have a great deal to do with what we will discuss in the next few meetings.”
”First of all, I hope you've noticed Riedel's reaction when I mention another person who has the same name as Tom.”
Van Lin nodded.
”He is ashamed of anything that connects him to others and makes him ordinary. Even then, he wanted to be different, unique and even notorious. Just a few years after that conversation, he abandoned his name and, as you know, created the mask of Voldemort, which he has been wearing for so long. ”
”I'm sure you've noticed that Tom Riddell was already extremely complacent, secretive, and obviously isolated. He went to Diagon Alley without help or company. He would rather act alone. It's the same with Voldemort as an adult. You'll hear a lot of Death Eaters claiming they're his cronies, and only they can get close to him, or even know him. But they were cheated. Voldemort never had a friend, and I believe he never wanted to have a friend
”And in the end - I hope you're not too sleepy, pay attention to this - Tom Riedel, as a child, liked to collect booty. You see the box in his room, which is used to store his stolen goods, which are stolen from the children he bullied, all with a particularly unpleasant little magic - let's say - souvenirs. Remember his little hobby, because to a large extent, it will become very important in the future. ”
”As we said, the choice of Horcruxes, professor.” Van Lin nodded, ”but where is that hiding? I want to... ”
”The ancestral home of the gunte family!” Dumbledore hesitated for a moment and said, ”I can only think of it there, take his grandfather Marvolo's ring...”
”Wait, Professor Dumbledore, you said that Marvolo didn't hold up until muffin came back from Azkaban, but there's no doubt that muffin finally came out alive from Azkaban, right?”
”Those charges are not enough to sentence a wizard to death.”
”So, muffin, he He's been in the Gunter family's ancestral home? ”
”Oh, yes, and he had a meeting with Tom.” Dumbledore said, groping in his arms with his hands, and soon took out a small bottle containing a silver memory thread.
”Moffen's memory?” Fanlin looked at Dumbledore incredulously. ”How did you get it?”
”The ghost of muffin.” Dumbledore said, ”in the end, he chose to leave. In fact, he didn't think it was meaningful to stay in the world because he couldn't guarantee the purity of Slytherin's blood. When I saw him, he was wandering around the cemetery...”
”What about the others?”
”There's no more. In fact, I'm very surprised that muffin will choose to give this memory to me.”Dumbledore said, opening the bottle cap in his hand and pouring memory into the meditation basin.
Needless to say Dumbledore, it's natural that van der Lin is immersed in the whole human race.
Still familiar with the scene, little haggton belongs to GUNT's house, but unlike the time before, it has not been clean and tidy.
Maybe it was the reason that Merlot left without cleaning. The poor Slytherin family even had no family elf. It seems that the gunts have been completely reduced to the dust of history. Even if Voldemort has the blood of merogont flowing, it is a shame in front of the Slytherin family.
Mofen seemed very old, perhaps Azkaban's experience left him a deep impression, or the death of marvoro made him miserable.
Fan Lin stood opposite and looked quietly at the muffin in his chair.
So the son and Voldemort's grandfather, marvoro, are they like this, can we say it is not the father or the son?
The kettle was ringing on the side of the heater, as if to wake up his master and lift him from the fire.
However, it seemed to disturb the surface of mofen, and fan Lin saw the kettle burst apart, and then the hot water fell on the ground.
”Dong Dong Dong It's a good thing to do
A rhythmic knock on the door came, breaking the purity of the Gantt ancestral house.
”Who?” Murphy said impatiently, ”leave here, this is not where you can come.”
And mofen did not mean to rise at all.
The door was silent for a moment, then, the rhythmic knock on the door came as usual.
But mofen also did not mind to pay attention to, with a wand, immediately the house became clean.
But the slight vibration of van Lin through the door panel still can feel that there is still someone outside.
The house was in silence, and Fanlin did not ask, but waited patiently.
Voldemort will be shut out?
Joking, Voldemort can directly fight in Hogwarts. Although it has to pay a certain price, there is no doubt that van Lin doesn't think that mofen's attitude and magic can stop him.
Not long, the door opened with a squeak.
Tom Reed's handsome face appeared at the door, and seeing this scene, van Lin was not able to help but sigh.
Tom is a guy who can eat on his face, but on the contrary, God has given him enough talent, and then he can transform himself into a monster that is not human and ghost, even after that.
Yes, it's a monster. Van Lin really can't imagine any good adjective like Tom.
Since he put on Voldemort's mask, everything has become this way.
Voldemort, oh no, it should be said Tom Reed was standing at the door, his cold eyes scanning the dirty hut, and then he found the muffin in his chair.
The old, dirty middle-aged man, who should have been his mother, Merlot's husband.
It seemed that he was dissatisfied with the neglect of moffen, and van Lin saw Tom reed with a little bit of his hand, and then the magic under the muffin cloth was broken.
In a moment, the outside voice came in, which was the sound of the wind and the insects.
