Hogwarts Mysterious Man Resurrected

"Recently I discovered that you like to run to the library."

"It's a good thing to like reading books. Learning more magic knowledge can help you in the future."

Dumbledore's eyes were calm and without any color.

"Tom, are you studying black magic again?"

Very suddenly, he changed the topic and looked at Tom intently.

There is some edge in the eyes

"Professor, maybe you should believe me."

Faced with Dumbledore's abrupt question, Tom showed no trace of anger.

he is used to it

a long time ago

He is already used to this kind of prejudiced color

And this habit allowed him to face Dumbledore's difficulties calmly.

However, there was a flicker of doubt in Tom's heart.

He felt something was different about Dumbledore.

Some, too, indifferent

But shouldn't Dumbledore be so indifferent?

He thought as if suddenly enlightened.

just

Tom buried his doubts in his heart, and his calm eyes met Dumbledore's somewhat cold eyes.

"maybe"

He said, with no discernable taste in his tone.

"Maybe I should try to trust you."

"Don't let me down, Tom."

"Don't take detours"

When Dumbledore said these words, his eyes were quite meaningful.

He gave Tom a serious look, then turned and left.

Tom stood there with a faint look in his eyes.

He looked at the book in his hand and pulled away the first cover.

The first thing that caught my eye were some pictures full of evil flavor.

"Cutting-edge black magic secrets"

He chanted softly, the corners of his mouth rising involuntarily, revealing a smile.

"Don't worry, Professor"

"How could I disappoint you?"

"I won't let you down"

Once again suppressing his doubts about Dumbledore, Tom turned and walked towards the Slytherin common room.

He was holding the dark magic book in his hand, and there was a hint of joking in his two red eyes.

Looking at the students coming and going, he would always respond with an elegant yet noble smile.

This is him, Tom Riddle

Descendant of the noble Slytherin

"Horcrux"

"What is that thing that can actually make a person live forever?"

Tom stroked the book in his hand and looked at the introduction of a mysterious object in the book.

Unfortunately, after this page, there is a layer of torn marks.

This made Tom feel angry inside.

how come

How could you tear up something so precious?

Tom tightened the wand in his hand, wishing he could cast an Avada Kedavra on the man who had torn away the method of making Horcruxes.

Slowly calm down the anger in your heart

Tom took back his wand

He thought of a person.

In Hogwarts, there are two people who have a deep understanding of dark magic.

One is Professor Albus Dumbledore, and the other is Horace Slughorn.

The first one was impossible for him to ask.

Dumbledore was always looking for evidence that he had learned the dark arts.

I wish I could catch him on the spot

Moreover, I think of those cold eyes.

Tom felt something was wrong in his heart.

He had always been suspicious of Dumbledore, although he didn't know why.

I suspect he is not the real Dumbledore

After some thought, Tom chose to secretly ask Professor Slughorn about Horcruxes.

In fact, no matter what Tom thinks, he has only one choice.

That is the famous Professor Slughorn.

After all, his relationship with Dumbledore was very bad.

But my relationship with other professors is unusually good.

"He will tell me"

"Maybe, maybe"

Tom held the wand, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He believes that Professor Slughorn is a good person.

A considerate professor

"tick tock"

The sound of water dripping sounded in this dark space.

Tom couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Professor Slughorn that day.

Professor Slughorn is indeed a professor with a deep understanding of dark magic.

He indeed knew the Horcrux he was talking about, but unfortunately, Professor Slughorn did not know how to make a Horcrux.

This makes Tom feel pity

If only the professor knew, Tom thought.

Then he can use some means to get what he wants.

Thinking of Professor Slughorn's scared and worried look, Tom wanted to laugh in his heart.

He was now walking in the underground sewers of Hogwarts.

This is where he stumbles upon because he hears a sound.

A voice only he can hear

an unusual language

Following the sound, Tom discovered the underground waterways of Hogwarts.

He had a hunch that he was about to find the place where the mysterious voice was.

The water was still dripping, and Tom heard the hoarse sound again.

He closed his eyes and felt it delicately.

“It’s really a beautiful language.”

He thought to himself, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.

Finally, he came to a wall.

He's reached a dead end

Tom knew that he had failed again.

This was not the place he thought.

But it doesn’t matter, it takes a long time and you can search slowly.

I don't know if it was his own misunderstanding, but Tom always felt that something was wrong with him.

There was always a voice in his heart that prevented him from making a Horcrux.

It seemed like once he finished making the Horcrux, something bad was going to happen.

But, what bad things will happen?

Tom chuckled softly.

He just needs the life of a mudblood to live in this world forever.

What's wrong with this?

Those lowly mudbloods could bring so much benefit to a noble bloodline like his.

Don’t you know that they have to sacrifice their lives?

just

Deep down Tom always felt that what he was doing was wrong.

All people are born equal, and there is no distinction between noble and low blood.

But when he thought of such thoughts, he wanted to laugh.

Pure blood is the ideal of his great ancestor, Slytherin.

How could it be wrong?

Just a seed of doubt was planted in his heart.

He already felt something was wrong with him.

Just like, Tom thought of the past.

This discomfort has been with him for many years.

But the initial reason seemed to be the two names that flashed through his heart back then.

"Losa"

He murmured softly, his eyes flashing with confusion
