Hogwarts Diary: Snape Goes Crazy

"Miss Grace finally married a high-ranking official. She was a long-lived person. Some time ago, I found her before she died and got these memories."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

Vesey clicked her tongue, my dear, Miss Grace is not simple!

Being able to marry a high-ranking official means that Miss Grace either has outstanding abilities or has a matching family.

There is no way to become the first wife of those high-ranking officials just by relying on beauty.

If you only have beauty, you can probably only become a mistress.

"Okay, children, I hope you will return to reality from your meditation as soon as possible. We need to look at other memories. Time is very tight tonight."

Dumbledore said with a smile.

Harry and Vesey looked at him immediately.

He took out another vial of memory from his pocket.

"This is a portrait of the former Prince family. I asked someone to ask some questions from him.

The Prince family?

Isn't that Snape's family?

Vesey doesn’t remember that she had interacted with the Prince family before?

Dumbledore didn't let them in this time, but stirred the memories with his wand, and then an old man appeared.

He said like a conversation: "I'm not sure if she is the person you mentioned, but if the portrait you gave me is correct, then we are talking about the same person.

This woman had a child. She went around asking dying wizards for magic power, but no one could give it to her. Everyone suspected that there was something wrong with her.

But after I heard about this, I began to suspect that she might have invented a potion that could transfer magic power from others.

I think that potion should be similar to the squib conversion potion you showed me.

But the squib conversion potion is obviously much stronger than the potion made by that woman, and it doesn't sound so evil anymore. "

The old man's face disappeared.

Dumbledore looked at Vesey and the others.

"What do you think?"

Vesey said calmly: "It's possible that one of Merope and Voldemort has no magic power. Personally, I prefer Voldemort. He was probably a squib at the time."

Dumbledore smiled and nodded.

"Yes, that's how I analyzed it too.

Harry's mouth dropped open.

Voldemort was once a squib, this is simply a fantasy.

"Then he later found someone who gave him magical power?"

Harry couldn't help but ask.

Dumbledore nodded.

That's obviously it.

"Did Merope kill someone?"

Harry couldn't help but ask.

Dumbledore said nothing, but took out a bottle of memory again.

"This is the memory I brought out from Morfin's mind. Morfin was about to die at that time, so I was able to know some memories. 11

Dumbledore placed the vial of memories into the pensieve and pulled them in again.

"The memory I got from Morfin's mind has obviously been modified. I am simply a master of memory, so I dug out this memory."

Dumbledore pointed at Morfin and said.

At this time, Morfin had obviously come out of prison, and he didn't look so arrogant.

Then when he went out one day, he met Merop who was leading Voldemort around to look for the dying old man.

Morfin obviously hated Merope.

He also wanted to kill Voldemort because Voldemort was a squib and he thought it was a shame.

Then Harry watched helplessly as Morfin's Avatar spell hit Merope.

But Merope did not die, but waved her magic wand. Apparently she modified Morfin's memory. Morfin lost this memory and he returned home silently.

Harry and Vesey were brought out by Dumbledore.

"Is Merope dead?"

Harry asked quickly.

Dumbledore nodded.

"Obviously, Merope died in the end, but she didn't die at the time. It might be maternal love, or it might be something she did that allowed her to live a little longer.

In the past few days, she had gone out and used magic spells on many people, all of which were memory spells.

She didn't want anyone to know that Voldemort was a child of the Gaunt family, because she used memory spells on people, and the Ministry of Magic locked her based on her magic fluctuations.

Of course, they didn't know she was Merope at that time, they just thought she was an ordinary witch. I only found this out after checking the Auror's case handling records.

They chased Merope, and then a fire broke out in the orphanage.

They brought out a charred body from the fire. Because it was already charred, no one knew who it was, and finally (cjeb) disposed of it hastily.

And the Slytherin locket she wore around her neck was apparently secretly sold by someone. "

Dumbledore sighed, and Harry's eyes looked a little sad.

"She burned herself to death to save Voldemort?"

Dumbledore nodded.

"It's obvious that she won't live long, so the only way she can think of is to use magic potions to create a fire.

"Potion?"

Vesey asked, catching the word deliberately.

Although she was a little embarrassed by Dumbledore telling her story, well, extremely embarrassed, she couldn't say nothing, and it would be even weirder to say nothing.

"I'm glad you noticed this Vesey, so why do you think Merope used the potion to cause the fire?"

Why?

No more magic power!

Vesey complained in his heart and said with a touched look on his face:

“I think Merope gave all her magic to Voldemort.

At first she wanted to find wizards who were dying and wanted them to give their magic to Voldemort, but they didn't agree.

When she was about to die, there was only one way for her to keep her children alive. "

Dumbledore nodded.

"Yes, I think that's the whole story. After Merope eloped with Tom Riddle, she accidentally exposed her magic.

This made her husband yell at her that she was a monster. Of course, it was also possible that he was tired of the poor life. They were probably living a very miserable life when Merope didn't use magic.

Tom Riddle couldn't stand the pain, he found an excuse to leave, and then he ran away.

Merope may have guessed this. She no longer puts all her love on her lover, but on her children.

But what makes her helpless is that her child was born a squib. She loves her son so much that she wants her child to gain experience.

She invented a magic potion that could transfer other people's magic to her child.

But her kind heart was unwilling to attack ordinary wizards, so she thought of the wizards who were about to die.

But this is obviously impossible. Everyone thinks it is an evil thing and no one agrees with it.

Maybe if she hadn't met Morfin, Merope might have continued to think of ways for her children, but their luck was so bad, and they met Morfin.

Morfin may like Merope, and he hates Merope for not choosing him. He wants to kill the child, but Merope blocked the death curse, and she won't live long.

She could only give her magic power to Voldemort and change the memories of everyone including Voldemort. At that moment, she probably just wanted a peaceful life for her child, right?"

Harry sighed deeply.

"She is as great as our mother. If she were still alive, maybe Voldemort would not become what he is now.'

Dumbledore glanced at Vesey, smiled and said:

"Maybe? None of us know what fate will do, but I think if Merope is still alive, Voldemort will not become so crazy."

Harry let out a breath.

"Does Voldemort know these things?".
