Settle at Hogwarts

"Well, Tubo, don't think so much. The most important thing now is not to enjoy a happy vacation?" Dumbledore said with a smile.

Taber thought that his efforts over the past few years had finally yielded some results, so he nodded happily: "Of course, Professor."

"Well, have a nice holiday, Tab."

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he turned directly into a deserted alley next to him and apparated away from here, as if he really just came to say hello to Tubo.

"It's so amazing. Did you see it just now, kid? Did someone suddenly disappear over there?"

Tabor looked at the person who suddenly rushed to his side and took a closer look.After checking his eyes, he was an ordinary person who didn't know magic.He probably accidentally saw Dumbledore's Apparition just now.

"Child, you were looking at that place just now. Tell me, did you also see someone disappear suddenly?" The man seemed very excited.

Tabor shook his head expressionlessly: "No, sir, you are wrong. I didn't see anyone disappear suddenly. I was just in a daze."

"How is this possible?" The man looked like he couldn't believe it.

However, after seeing Tabor's calm face, he still said helplessly: "Okay, maybe I saw it wrong. How could someone really disappear out of thin air? I must be dazzled because I didn't rest."

Seeing that he had gradually convinced himself, Tabor left here silently.Most people will always find a reasonable reason for unreasonable things. This is why although there are many specious legends circulating among Muggles in the magical world, they can hide themselves safely for a long time.

After walking on the streets for a while, Taber gradually discovered that the lives of most lower-class people in the festive atmosphere were actually extremely embarrassing. There were many newsboys and workers in shabby clothes on the streets. The economic crisis that broke out in the past few years has really affected many families. Started to worry about livelihood.

"I wonder if among these people, there may be young wizards who have not yet entered school?"

Tabor thought about what Dumbledore said just now that he went to see Tom. According to the current economic situation in the Muggle world, Wu's Orphanage must be having a hard time.

Thinking of this, Tabor took a tram directly and came to the entrance of Wu's Orphanage.

The children in the orphanage were gathering in the open space in front of the square building in the orphanage, and Tom was among them, but the other children kept a certain distance from him.

Perhaps it was Tubber's undisguised glance that caught Tom's attention, and Tom turned and looked in Tubber's direction.

Tabor did not use magic to hide his figure, but silently looked at the young man in front of him who was wearing shabby but extremely neat clothes.

"Did you just move into the neighborhood? Why do you keep looking at me?"

Tabor shook his head: "My home is not here, I just came out to walk around alone."

It seemed that it had been a long time since he heard someone talk to him so calmly and without a trace of disgust. Tom was obviously very happy.

"Alone? It's not very safe around here. If you get blocked like this, you won't want your nice clothes anymore."

"It's okay, ordinary people can't stop me."

Hearing Tabor's answer, Tom raised his eyebrows slightly: "You seem to be very confident! What about this?"

Tabor heard a hissing sound coming from Tom's mouth, and a flower snake with thick arms sprang out from the grass and climbed onto the fence between Tabor and Tom. The snake's head was raised high and its cold eyes stared at it. Looking in the direction of Tabor.

In his previous life, Tabor was still a little afraid of snakes, but in this life he saw various snake decorations every day, and there were many moving ones in the Slytherin cellar, so naturally he would not be frightened by a small, non-venomous snake.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Tom felt a little surprised that the strange guy in front of him was not frightened.You must know that in the orphanage, let alone the children, even the adults would be frightened when faced with a sudden appearance of a snake.But the person in front of him not only showed no emotion about being able to talk to snakes, nor was he scared, which was really unusual.

"I know it can't hurt me, and you wouldn't hurt a stranger for no reason, right?"

At this moment, Tom always felt that everything about him was known to the people opposite him, but he did not hate this feeling: "You are right, provided that you will not take away my food, and you will not treat monsters like Look at me."

Tabor suddenly laughed. It was only then that he completely separated Tom from the crazy Voldemort in his memory.

The reason why Voldemort became Voldemort is inseparable from his life in an orphanage when he was young. The title of monster is enough to make everyone in the orphanage reject him intentionally or unintentionally.When Tom entered Hogwarts, he faced Dumbledore's suspicion, and the Slytherin snakes would not look kindly on an unidentified orphan.

When he successfully splits his soul, the violence and madness in his character will gradually emerge and become more twisted.

At least before Tom split the first Horcrux, he was still Tom Riddle.

"So if I would take away your food, would you kill me?"

Tom shook his head: "You are very interesting, I will not kill you."

Tabor watched Tom calmly discussing murder with him, and suddenly felt a little shuddered.A question also arises in my mind, is it really possible that Tom will always be Tom?Or is it that his destiny has long been destined to become Voldemort.

"You are really cold and heartless."

At this time, the two finally attracted the attention of others in the orphanage.

"Child, are you lost? Do you need help?"

Tabor glanced at the woman who asked the question, and he knew that this person was Mrs. Cole, the director of the orphanage.

"I'm not lost, I'm just taking advantage of the holiday to go out for a walk. Thank you for your concern, madam."

Mrs. Cole is obviously a kind-hearted lady who likes children, but when she saw Tom, her eyes were a little unnatural, mixed with a little fear.

"It's getting late, so you should go home early. Our neighborhood is not very safe." Mrs. Cole said with a smile.

Tabor glanced at Tom, who was bowing his head and keeping silent: "Okay, ma'am, I'll go home right away."

After Tubo said something to Mrs. Cole, he took a few steps closer, took out the pack of dragon's whiskers that Dumbledore had given him from his bag, and stuffed it into Tom's hand.

"Merry Christmas."

Tom looked at Tabor's leaving figure and opened his mouth, but he still didn't want to give back the delicious food in his hand.
