Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

"Don't think of me as a stupid lion with no brains..."

Having despised the reckless men countless times, Tom decided to help the annoying Grindelwald once. If that guy didn't leave...

His bunch of useless little brothers can't let go of their hands and feet to do things.

"Now can you tell me why you...rejected Grindelwald repeatedly?"

"........."

Silence... is a kind of wisdom and a kind of resistance.

Dumbledore filled himself up with wine and moved as slowly as an ordinary old man dying, "Are you so curious..."

"Tom, if Slytherin knew you were like this, he would be so angry..."

"Haha~ Wasn't Gryffindor the first to be pissed off? No matter how sharp the sword is, it's just a piece of scrap metal if no one can use it..."

Tom glanced sideways at the snoring Sorting Hat. If it weren't for his dignity, he would have wanted to try if he could pull out Gryffindor's sword...

In this way, he will have collected all the relics of the four founders~

"...When will you learn to respect the principal?"

"When I put on a black robe and bowed my head in mourning..."

The curse words in his heart kept spewing wildly, and Dumbledore paused for a long time before moving his fingers and making a 'click, click, click' sound.

"Hmph, it seems I have to wait a long time! Tsk...I didn't reject him, it's just that I can't forgive myself..."

With a raised eyebrow, Tom leaned back slightly, ready to 'listen to the story'. He was...

Give Dumbledore the greatest respect~

.........................................

The atmosphere in the principal's room was relaxed and quiet, and Dumbledore rambled on about the past.

"I don't want to... no... I don't have the courage to face... he knows... knows whose death curse hit Ariana... maybe... I also know..."

As someone who personally 'killed' his father, Tom couldn't really understand Dumbledore's thoughts.

"Can escaping... bring people back to life? Or are you pushing all the tragedies on Grindelwald in your heart?"

A red light flashed in Tom's eyes, staring closely at Dumbledore, who was in a daze.

"It was his appearance that caused all this... wasn't it... If there had been no Grindelwald, then... Aberforth would not have quarreled with him..."

"There was no fight that turned into a quarrel...how could Ariana be hit by the killing curse...The poor girl...should have been carefree..."

"Living under the protection of two brothers...but ended up embarking on the road to death early...Admit it, Dumbledore...you hate him..."

"Admit it...you blamed him for the accident..."

Dumbledore murmured something, and a flash of struggle flashed on his face, "No...this is my sin..."

Taking a deep breath, his originally wavering eyes became firm again. Dumbledore curled his lips and glared at the bastard dark wizard opposite him in complaint.

"Tom, I know your talent in Legilimency. Next time... don't do this to me when I am relaxed... otherwise I will be really angry..."
