Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

After a few seconds of silence, Tom moved his wrist, and the tip of the wand was hooked by his little finger, and turned in a circle, aiming the tip of the wand at the wooden box that made a 'clicking' sound.

"Hagrid...you have to understand that even if dangerous creatures become your pets...you can't control the bloodthirsty nature of those creatures...get out of the way!"

As Tom finished speaking, a ray of fire suddenly hit the wooden box, and the Acromantula, which was much larger, let out a long and shrill cry.

The Acromantula struggled in panic and climbed up the wall at an extremely fast speed, preparing to escape.

Just as Tom was about to cast the second spell, Hagrid rushed over and used his bulk to easily press down the raised arm, knocking Tom to the ground.

Tom, who fell to the ground, couldn't accept it for a moment. He was... beaten by this half-giant? ! Should he be grateful that the damn thing didn't break his neck!

"Rubber Hagrid!!! Do you know what you are doing! How dare you let it go!"

With his few sanity returning, Hagrid opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to ask Senior Riddle if he wanted to go to the hospital wing...

"Oh~ Two young gentlemen, what happened here so late~"

Dumbledore had some difficulty saying what he said against his will, but Tom was fine, and Hagrid... he was a pretty strong kid...

Seeing Professor Dumbledore appear, Hagrid was so anxious that he wanted to grow a beard. At least this way, he could stop his trembling lips.

Tom stared at the water stains on the bottom of Dumbledore's robe. He had no intention of speaking and stood quietly. He did not believe that the professor knew nothing.

Hesitantly wanting to defend, but not knowing how to speak, Hagrid grabbed his hair irritably, slumped his shoulders, and did not dare to look at Professor Dumbledore.

"I...Aragog really didn't kill anyone...well...it...it didn't! It promised me not to run around! That's right! It didn't run out to kill people!!!"

Facing the increasingly agitated hybrid giant, Tom and Dumbledore looked at each other and silently took a few steps back.

Tom turned around and hid behind Dumbledore with his eyes lowered. He could swear that if he was thrown away by this guy again, he would definitely use dark magic.

After pondering for a while, Dumbledore brought the two young wizards to the principal's office. It was getting late and the matter should be over.

"Albus? What happened..."

Dumbledore stepped forward and whispered a few words, then stood behind Principal Armando, squinting his eyes and looking at the little wizard who had never spoken.

"Tom...can you tell me what you just knew..."

Hearing the old principal's question to him, Tom nodded heavily, raised his eyes to meet Armando's kind eyes, and lowered his eyes implicitly.

"Here's what happened... When I was returning to the lounge today, I heard some strange noises and saw Hagrid appear in the cellar..."

"When I followed him, I saw what he was talking to, and then... when I was preparing to kill the monster..."

Tom glanced at the mixed-race giant whose face was getting paler, and paused for a moment before turning his gaze back to the principal, "I'm sorry, Principal Armando... I made a mistake..."

With a comforting smile, Armando asked the two young wizards to go back to the dormitory. No matter what, they had to wait for the Ministry of Magic to send someone over.
