Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

After scanning the burning mark in the sky, Gellert looked at the time. It was almost two months ago. Could this kid be unable to get out?

How should he answer this?

Dumbledore didn't miss the guy next to him. He had a fleeting expression of embarrassment and muttered in a low voice as if to comfort himself.

"No..Tom will be fine..I trust him.."

Before leaving, Tom also promised Mr. Malfoy to go home before school starts. The brat never breaks his promise. Damn it, this is all his fault.

In the last two days of August, the Deathly Hallows pattern was completely burned out. Gellert drew out his wand and pointed it at the still ugly guy.

His eyelids trembled, and Tom opened his eyes. His scarlet eyes were full of murderous intent, and huge magic power poured out. When he saw the oncoming Death Curse, he turned sideways to avoid the damn magic.

His appearance and skin quickly recovered. Tom took a breath and glanced at the whistling old bastard, "Still the same as before - a despicable sneak attacker."

Taking time to show himself, Tom took out the recovery potion from his pocket and drank it without even taking a look at how haggard he was.

"Dumbledore, I have to go back first."

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

For two whole months, supported only by the force-fed potion, Tom had never felt so weak.

But now, he really couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to see Abu and the others with his own eyes and wanted to know if they were still there.

Although he was very sure in his heart that the people he loved were still waiting for him safe and sound.

At Malfoy Manor, Lucius was almost going crazy. His father had already seen through his lies! They all know that the godfather has encountered something very difficult this time!

But they can do nothing but live in expectation and suffering day after day.

"Father.."

Lucius walked to the door of the manor and stood with his father who waited here every day, but he didn't know what he could say.

Also waiting is Severus, the useless white-feathered peacock! Just tell them that Mr. will be back before September.

But now...is it still too late?

"Who is that!"

Severus heard the exclamation and suddenly looked up at the figure in the mist. Could it be Mr. Riddle?

Sir, you should not be so thin...

"Tom..."

Whispering softly, Abraxas rushed out of the protective spell and ran towards the figure whose face could not be seen clearly.

"I knew...you're a complete bastard."

Opening his arms to catch the person coming at him, Tom held on and did not retreat. He was so weak, but the most important thing...

The temperature in his arms is reality, this is his real life.

"Didn't I say it? I never break my promise. Whatever I promise you, I will do it no matter what..."

"Abu, long time no see, and...I'm back."

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

Tom was surrounded by several people, and he stuffed food into his mouth helplessly, "Believe me, I only need to drink the magic potion for a few days, and I can recover..."

"If I keep eating like this, I will really have problems."

Abraxas turned coldly and thought for a while but still didn't drive the little wizard away, "The reason is, I want to listen to the truth and don't even think about lying to me."

"I know you very well, Tom. If you don't believe me, you can try it and see if I can see through your little tricks!"

Staring at his useless godson, Tom put down the tableware and wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, "It is indeed because of Dumbledore's mistake..."

"I have to go with him to Godric's Hollow and ask Grindelwald for help..."

After a quick glance, the three of them had disbelieving looks on their faces. Tom sighed and decided to change his explanation.

"Okay, I admit that most of the reasons... are because of my stupidity and the decisions I made when I was young and arrogant, which cost me."

"emmm... I thought that thing... had been erased, but I didn't expect it was still hidden inside, affecting me when I relaxed because of fatigue..."

Abraxas clenched his tea cup, feeling angry, regretful, and worried, which made him want to punch...his own son hard!

He wouldn't hurt Tom, or himself.

Lucius:...

NB.

Putting the teacup aside, Abraxas looked straight into Tom's eyes with a straight face, "So now, are you sure that thing has been erased?"

“…”

If you don’t perish in silence, you will explode in silence.

Abraxas slapped the armrest. He couldn't believe that Tom didn't answer him!

"What do you mean! Tom! Didn't you get rid of it?"

"No...it's not like that..."

Extremely annoyed, Tom pressed his temples and lamented silently, "I... came back directly and didn't care about these things..."

"Dumbledore will take care of it... maybe..."

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

Dumbledore sneezed, rubbed his nose and carefully explored the Resurrection Stone with the Elder Wand.

The miniature version of Vidi, who had run out a long time ago, squatted next to the Resurrection Stone and put forward his own suggestions from time to time.

"Wouldn't it be better to just burn it?"

'That's none of your business. '

Dumbledore put down his wand and spoke Parseltongue... Do they all like to curse people in Parseltongue? No matter how many times he said it, he could hear the damn Parseltongue!

"Tsk, don't forget who gave you the fragments of the Resurrection Stone. Little boy, did you find anything unusual? This time I want a definite answer."

Vidi drooped his head, why...why did everyone bully him? Oh..Lucius, he missed that little guy.

As pitiful as him...

"No, it disappeared completely. Didn't you already know that? Burning vitality, tsk tsk tsk..."

Compared to Tom, Viddy's mouth was a bit... shorter. He was a little man of less than two inches, with his hands clasped and his head held high.

"Hey, old madman, this guy burned his own life force and solved Tom's trouble. You have a good vision."

The mood of watching the show was gone. Dumbledore raised his eyes and looked at Gellert, who just looked at him with a slight smile.

Nothing has changed.. This bastard has never changed from before to now..

"Am I worth it?"

Gellert stepped forward and took off the glasses on Dumbledore's nose, "Of course, if you just see it but don't say it, then you have the opportunity to change..."

"I thought I could only wait for you where we first met, but I lost my patience, Albus..."

"The first time... I ran away. I didn't dare to ask for your forgiveness, but I still want to beg you to let me stay by your side..."

"No matter what my identity is, no matter what price I have to pay..."
