Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

Brian looked at him in surprise, showing a little puzzled expression.

"I understand that you still have scruples about me, and I probably understand what happened from the fact that you just told me that the basilisk killed a student.

I only have this soul left now. If I want to live or even regain my body, I must get your help. I don't want you to think that I have reservations about you.

In addition, the secrets I discovered are related to my ancestor Salazar Slytherin, but not only him, but also the other founders of Hogwarts. If you don't understand the cause and effect, you may not understand it. "Tom Riddle's words were heavy.

"Okay, I understand!" Brian took a deep look at Riddle.

By the time Brian turned his gaze back to Tom Riddle's memory, he was already a handsome young man, walking in the corridors of Hogwarts with a book in his arms.

Beside him, a thin boy with a pale complexion and blond hair blinked his big eyes, swaying around Tom Riddle with a cautious look.

"Riddle, did you talk to a snake just now? My God, you turned out to be a snake talker!"

"Call me Tom, Abraxas (Lucius Malfoy's father). Aren't wizards supposed to be able to talk to snakes? Why can't you?" Tom Riddle felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help frowning.

"Of course I can't do it!" Abraxas exclaimed. He looked around and made sure that there were no students or professors from the other three colleges before explaining to Tom Riddle in a low voice, " Very few wizards have the ability of snake tongue, the only ones I have heard of are despicable Helbo and Salazar, do you know Salazar Riddle?"

"Of course, Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Slytherin House." Tom Riddle's face was calm, but his heart was already full of waves.

"That's right, that's him." Abraxas spoke with eloquence. "He's not only a snake tongue, but a real pure-blood nobleman. My father said he hoped that Hogwarts would refuse to accept Muggle-borns." wizard students, if it hadn't been stopped by the other three, we wouldn't have encountered so many Muggle wizards now."

Tom Riddle frowned secretly, and asked, "Are you so sure that I'm not a Muggle-born wizard?"

Abraxas laughed a few times, and said in a low voice: "Of course you can't, the Sorting Hat has been infused with the thoughts of Salazar Slytherin, if you are a Muggle-born wizard, of course you can't be sorted here.

In addition, my father once said that the abilities of snakemouths can be inherited. If it weren't for your surname, I would suspect that you are a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. Who else besides Racha has the power of a snaketalker! "

Just as Tom Riddle was about to say something, he was interrupted by Abraxas waving his hand, "Don't worry Riddle, I won't pry into your family's secrets, my father said that a true nobleman respects the secrets of others.

But I know you are definitely not a descendant of Hai Erbo, that guy is a black wizard from Greece, and I have never heard of him having any family. "

Abraxas whistled lightly, and walked into the classroom first, leaving only Tom Riddle who was standing outside the classroom with a bitter smile.

"Slytherin?"

......

Tom Riddle's early student experience at Hogwarts was somewhat similar to Harry's. Strictly speaking, it was more like the combination of Harry and Hermione. The only difference was that Harry and Hermione were looking for Nicole. LeMay, while Tom Riddle is extremely interested in Salazar Slytherin.

He is eager to learn all the magic knowledge, and has obtained the best results in every test, but at the same time, he keeps wandering in the library to explore all the information about Salazar Slytherin, fate Coincidentally, Tom Riddle, like Harry, saw that very imposing mirror, reaching the height of the ceiling, with a gorgeous golden frame.

The Mirror of Erised is very, very old. It seems to be a magical item brought back to Hogwarts by a traveling professor. No one knows who its creator is. Armando Dippet randomly He was placed in a certain lecture theater.

Tom Riddle has never been interested in useless tools such as mirrors, but this time he approached the mirror by accident, wanting to take a look at his own image, but the strange thing is that no matter how close he was to the mirror But there was never any scene reflected in it.

So he took a few steps closer and stood in front of the mirror. In just a moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned around suddenly to confirm the situation behind him.

The room was empty, he turned around, stretched out his hand and groped forward, only the cold mirror responded to him.

Tom Riddle lowered his head weakly, the halo on the mirror surface was flowing, and the situation displayed had slowly disappeared, and the mirror surface returned to its empty state again. He raised his hand to cover his chest, as if he couldn't breathe.

In just a moment, Tom Riddle roughly guessed the function of the mirror marked with Erisstra Uhruayt Ubi Kafruayt on Voorhes, but what he did not expect was that once When the picture that appeared in my dream countless times really appeared in front of me, my heart was so painful.

The atmosphere in the empty lecture hall was a bit oppressive.

In the end, Tom Riddle couldn't suppress the urge to raise his head again, staring at the mirror.In the mirror, he himself stood on top of the tallest building in London, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and the plain, pale witch standing behind him stared at a very dashing young man, with some warmth from the corners of her mouth smile.

Tom Riddle trembled all over, clenched his fists tightly, and seemed to relax a little bit, and everything in front of him would shatter like a dream.

For some reason, there was a bit of sadness in his heart, a bit of joy and anger flashed across his face, his eyes were a little out of focus, but his eyes were a little complicated.

I don't know how long it took before Tom Riddle breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the confusion in his eyes faded away. When he adjusted his emotions and prepared to leave, he found that there was an old man looking at him kindly behind him in the mirror. with him.

The old man was wearing a black robe, with a white beard hanging to the hem of the robe, and a conspicuous pendant hung between the sparse beard.

At first glance, it looks ordinary, but at the second glance, it looks kind and kind.The old man seemed to be smiling, but he didn't seem to be smiling, but how could Riddle forget this face, he had seen this face in countless classics recently.

Salazar Slytherin!

This mirror... Could it be that he is really a descendant of Salazar Slytherin?

But why his surname?Could it be mother?

These thoughts quickly flashed through Tom Riddle's mind, but he didn't dare to delay for a moment. He took a few steps back, checked that there was no one around, and hurried outside.

The early days of Riddle's student days were actually extremely dull. After sweeping through the collection of books about Salazar Slytherin in the library, he introduced the old yard of Slytherin in the middle of the night when no one was around. Marked it out, and finally made a table, and found that the conclusion is not the same as the circulated version, because many places are contradictory.

Besides, seeing Salazar Slytherin looking at him lovingly in the Mirror of Erised made Tom Riddle wonder whether Salazar Slytherin was rejected by the rest of the world for refusing to accept Muggle-born wizards. Several founders were forced to leave, knowing that his father seemed to be a Muggle too.

In order to test his conjecture and outsiders' views on Salazar Slytherin, he did not hesitate to launch an investigation in the Hogwarts college. Under his skillful questioning, those poor classmates inadvertently He exposed his actual thoughts, including some younger professors.

Most of the students in Slytherin showed a high degree of admiration for Salazar's desire to drive Muggle-born wizards out of Hogwarts, while the professors of Slytherin College expressed a little regret for Salazar's failure. The students and professors of the college expressed their disdain and dissatisfaction.

After Tom Riddle compiled those survey results into a book, he discovered for the first time that language is so powerful. Even these survey results can reflect the personality and thoughts of each student, and he can prescribe the right medicine at a specific time and find the most suitable one. way to start with it.

Fortunately, Tom Riddle didn't think about creating a new disturbance at Hogwarts, he just wanted to vindicate that distant ancestor.

"So what you want to tell me is that the truth about Salazar Slytherin leaving Hogwarts has been buried?" Brian saw Tom Riddle in his memory collecting Salazar Slytherin every day. Various records when I left Hogwarts, I couldn't help asking.

"My original purpose was like this, but in the end I seemed to find something even stranger." Tom Riddle shook his head slightly and sighed, "I think you can understand, as a descendant of Salazar Slytherin , I cannot accept that my ancestors have been framed for thousands of years."

Brian hesitated a little in his heart. Although he couldn't say clearly that he knew the real character of Salazar Slytherin from the Blackstone Palace, he couldn't slander Slytherin in front of Riddle and pretend he didn't know anything.

However, just as Brian was considering his comforting words, Tom Riddle on the side spoke again!

"From the first moment I saw Salazar Slytherin in the Mirror of Erised, I firmly believed that he would never be the wizard who refused Muggle-born admission to Hogwarts!"

"Huh?" Brian was a little puzzled, "But isn't the Mirror of Erised reflecting what we most desire?"

"If the Mirror of Erised had only such an effect, it would not be able to become one of the most magical items in the wizarding world. No one has been able to understand its full effect since ancient times." Tom Riddle explained.

Brian hesitated for a moment and said, "But Dumbledore said so?"

"Professor Dumbledore actually let a second-year student see the Mirror of Erised? I remember that since a student went crazy in front of the Mirror of Erised, he has been put away by Armando Dippet."

Tom Riddle pondered for a while, and said: "I don't know why Professor Dumbledore told you that, but I can be sure that the Mirror of Erised will never just reflect what we most desire in our hearts.

I don't know what you saw, but I saw my parents and Salazar Slytherin through the Mirror of Erised.

To know that I have never met my parents before, but it shows their true face, if the mirror of Erised is to show what my heart desires most, then my parents should be my fantasy It's not what it looks like in the mirror.

In addition, the appearance of Salazar Slytherin is also very strange.Under the circumstances, how could I hope that Salazar Slytherin was my ancestor, I was a half-blood wizard, and Salazar was the founder of the rumored hatred of Muggle-born wizards.

But I am indeed his descendant. I am not sure that I am a descendant of Salazar because I am also a snake whisperer, but because I have been verified in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and I already know where my mother is. The Gaunt family is exactly the family of Salazar Slytherin!

Brian, do you know the Pensieve?I'm not talking about the memory-storing pensieves created by those low-end alchemists. The real pensieve is the ability to dig out the deepest memories that have been forgotten or have no ability to distinguish in childhood.

I think the Mirror of Erised is similar to the Pensieve, but what is even more shocking is that he seems to have crossed the boundaries of time and can even distinguish the threads connected by fate. "

What Brian didn't expect was that Tom Riddle actually gave such an answer. Although it was a bit of a fantasy, it seemed to make sense after careful consideration.

When Harry saw the Mirror of Erised, he didn't really see his parents, let alone the rest of the Potter family, but he was able to fully see the members of the Potter family who died in Godric's Hollow.

Even the Mirror of Erised can hide the Philosopher's Stone.

Of course, this cannot be explained by the words "what the heart desires most".

Fortunately, he is not clueless, Tom Riddle has pointed out the direction for him, in addition, he can also use other methods to insinuate and argue from the side.

"So, what exactly did you see in the secret room?" Brian nodded slowly, his gaze shifted from Riddle's face back to the ever-changing memory picture, and said indifferently.

But right now is not the best time to explore the Mirror of Erised. He is not even interested in the history that was erased from Tom Riddle's mouth. What exactly did Laghorn tell Tom Riddle.
