Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

Glancing at the time dejectedly, Dumbledore pouted and placed the potion of immortality on the table, "Take it to create your heir!"

"But Tom...can you ensure that your heir will do what you want..."

Really looking at a fool, Tom glanced up and down at Dumbledore who looked worried, "Is your brain... only used to frame me?"

"Since I made it, how could I not leave any means to control him? Dumbledore... eat less sweets..."

"Those foods can't fill your empty heart. Isn't love the greatest magic? Do you want to go find your old lover?"

"...Shut up."

After drinking a glass of wine, Dumbledore touched the empty photo frame in despair, "Gellert is a radical elitist. In addition to his intelligence and talent..."

"He is also characterized by his ruthless personality, which sometimes even seems a little cruel...I have never denied my feelings for him..."

"At the same time, I also have my own worries. Like everyone who falls in love, I worry about whether such a charming guy... will always be the only one for me."

"Of course... I trust him very much, at least before the blood alliance was broken... I trust Gellert more than I trust myself, but now... Tom..."

"The last connection between the two of us has been broken, and it will never be the same again... It's not just the differences caused by different positions..."

"It's because I...can't cross that gap. Courage...is the best synonym for stupidity...and I don't want to admit that I am a stupid guy."

Feeling inexplicably irritated, Tom closed his eyes, not wanting to see the deathly silence emanating from Dumbledore, "So you would rather be..."

"Sane coward? Dumbledore, you disappoint me so much..."

"Ah~ I have disappointed many people, Tom~ Forgive me... You must know that I am not a saint, and I also have things to fear."

.......................small theater....................

Finding the phoenix showing off its feathers after the raven deep in the Forbidden Forest, Tom blinked and waved for Fox to come down quickly.

‘Boy! You interrupt my pursuit of beautiful females! Stupid humans cannot see the most brilliant colors! ’

Tom had a straight face, not understanding the language of Phoenix, which did not prevent him from hearing the dissatisfaction in the cry, "Fox... lay an egg..."

The cry stopped suddenly, and Fox's eyes showed human disbelief. What did it hear?

This brat, let him lay eggs? ? ?

‘You... have been with my old friend for too long and have been infected with madness! How could I possibly lay eggs! I'm a male! ! male! ! ! ’

He let go of his hand and looked regretfully at the gradually dissipating firelight. Tom wiped his hands, stood there, rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

"It seems that cultivating a basilisk is not easy...Does it have to be an egg laid by a rooster? Are phoenix eggs useless..."

"Professor Riddle~"

Hagrid ran to Tom, his beetle-sized eyes shining brightly as if he saw a savior, "Can I ask you a favor?"
