818 My Strange Netizens

A little inattentively, Dumbledore pulled off another white beard of his own.

This is already the No.20 seven beards he pulled off today.

If you want to ask Dumbledore, who is nearly a hundred years old now, which part of himself he treasures the most, it is his beautiful white beard.Before the start of the Wizarding Wars, Dumbledore, who lived a relatively leisurely life, would spend a lot of time on maintaining his white beard every day. Occasionally, he would also wonder how to decorate his beard so that it could match his beautiful robe. Distressed, sometimes he even braids his white beard and tie it with a bow.

As a result, just today, Dumbledore pulled off 27 white beards by himself after being frightened and careless again and again, and it feels that the number of No.20 eight is not too far away.

What is the reason for the great white wizard, Dumbledore, who is respected and loved by everyone in the magic world, to lose his composure?You should know that this is the recipient of the Order of Merlin First Class, the chairman of the National Federation of Magicians, the chief magician of the Wizengamot, the founder and secret keeper of the Order of the Phoenix!

In fact, the reason is really very simple, but it is because of the "child" named Tom in front of him.

No matter how much time has passed, or what happened in the lives of the two of them, to Dumbledore, this seemingly strange young man in front of him is indeed the child he taught for seven years—— Tom Riddle, who later became the founder of the Death Eaters, made people awe-inspiring to follow Voldemort, who advocated pure blood.People who fear him, some call him the Duke of Darkness, some call him the Dark Lord.

It was rumored that he cursed the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, and that his magic was so powerful that his name became a spell.As long as his name is spoken from his mouth, this person can feel and hear the words of the caller even if they are thousands of miles away.

Because of these, fewer and fewer people called him by his first name, and those who were too afraid of him had secretly called him a mysterious person.

Just half a year ago, Dumbledore was still fighting with his "excellent" student for ideological reasons.And Dumbledore is ready for a continuous battle with Tom, and in the end, one of the two of them will inevitably die to end this war involving the entire British wizarding world.

And this war between them has quietly started since Tom hadn't left school, and it has been more than ten years now.

But only half a year ago, Dumbledore knew about Tom's sudden disappearance.

This can be regarded as good news for the Order of the Phoenix, and since the Death Eaters have no leader, it is a good time for the Order of the Phoenix to attack and wipe out the Death Eaters.However, the pure-blood wizards on the side of the Death Eaters are not idiots. During the period when their Dark Lord disappeared, they have preserved their strength very well, and have always formed a rivalry with the Order of the Phoenix. Take it down.

A week ago, the Order of the Phoenix and the leaderless Death Eaters were finally going to enter the final battle. As a result, at this time, the Dark Lord returned, and then there was the current scene.

Dumbledore is a tolerant person, even if he is his enemy, he is willing to believe, especially when his enemy tells him, "I want to talk to you to end this ridiculous and meaningless situation in a peaceful way. war."

After receiving the owl from Tom, Dumbledore felt incredible at first. He thought for a long time with the parchment brought to him by the owl, and finally agreed to Tom's proposal.If this battle can be ended peacefully, that would be the best thing.

Since it is said that they want to sit down and have a good talk, some communication between the two parties is required, and the person who communicated with Dumbledore has always been Severus Snape, and Tom has never appeared.

Whenever Dumbledore asked why Tom didn't show up in person, Snape's face would become very subtle. The most exaggerated thing was that occasionally Dumbledore would see that Snape was too silent and always liked to put everything together. The child who was so bored with his thoughts would still blush!

Dumbledore: "..."

Out of a keen intuition, Dumbledore didn't ask why Tom didn't show up in person, always thinking that if he knew the reason, he might not be able to bear it all at once.He's not young after all, and it wouldn't be good if a frightened one went into St. Mungo's.

Besides, Dumbledore has always been more at ease with Snape, because although Snape looks very gloomy and indifferent on the outside, he has a soft place in his heart.Dumbledore has been trying to persuade Snape to leave the Death Eaters and join the Order of the Phoenix, but so far has been unsuccessful.

This time Snape's plenipotentiary, Tom, came to discuss the details with Dumbledore and prepare for the negotiations between the two parties. Dumbledore had no objections at all.

However!

Dumbledore really did not expect that one day he would see Tom rejuvenated.Time is rewinding on him, and Tom has gone from an attractive adult man-well, Tom's mental state has been very problematic in recent years, and he looks like he is going crazy-to be a teenager look like.

Seeing Tom like this, Dumbledore remembered Tom when he hadn't graduated from Hogwarts.

But that's not why Dumbledore was so startled that he pulled out his own beard one by one.

Originally, he knew very well how powerful Tom's magic power was, and what the stubbornness in his heart looked like. It wasn't very surprising to see Tom rejuvenate one day.What he thought after seeing Tom getting younger was, for what reason did Tom make himself younger?

but! !! !!

This is the point!

Why did he see Tom showing, uh, love to Snape? !

Although Dumbledore has always been very calm, like everyone else, he was completely stunned by what happened before his eyes.

Is he out of time, or something happened that he doesn't know.

Speaking of which, in the six months since Tom disappeared, it seems that he disappeared with Snape?So what happened in the past six months?So much so that the gloomy Snape and Crazy Tom were completely changed into another look?

If it hadn't been for Dumbledore to be sure that the two people standing in front of him hadn't been transfigured and hadn't drunk the potion, but they were really him, he couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes.

And like Dumbledore, the members of the entire Order of the Phoenix were also unable to believe their eyes.

Everyone looked at Snape with a dull expression, and called out "Honey" quickly and without hindrance as Tom requested. Tom had a satisfied smile on his face, and then began to talk to Snape a little bit. Complained, "This table is really too short. You know I am not as tall as Dumbledore now. If I stand with him and am shorter than him, my momentum will be much weaker. You know he is a very powerful wizard……"

Dumbledore: "..." What did he hear?He actually heard Tom admit that he was a very powerful wizard in his lifetime, and the voice in his words was actually a sign of weakness?No, no, it's more like "acting like a baby" with Snape than showing weakness. After all, Tom looked at him without the slightest fear, but calmly and arrogantly.

But even so, when Tom asked Snape to call him dear, Dumbledore couldn't control himself and pulled one of his beards, and when he heard Snape really shouted, he pulled another one, and when he heard Tom actually " "showing weakness" pulled one, and found that Tom was so shocked that he pulled two when he was "acting like a baby".

He has already pulled out 27 of his precious beards one by one.

Dumbledore: "..."

Dumbledore touched his white beard carefully, took a deep breath, and calmed down the successive shocks in his heart.

The current scene is actually very easy to understand. During the six months since Tom disappeared, it was very obvious that he fell in love with Snape.That's right, the great, terrible, and hateful Dark Lord is in love, in love, in love!

But what is even more shocking than falling in love is to see the living Dark Lord acting coquettishly! ! !

Although Dumbledore is still in the trial hall, his soul has been completely sublimated.After Snape stared at the eyes of everyone, and moved the chair back and forth for Tom on Tom's desk so that Tom could sit on it, Tom was finally satisfied.

Although he was much shorter than Dumbledore when standing, he was sitting now, and it was a chair that Sev personally moved for him.

However, after being happy for a while, Tom stared at Dumbledore, who was white from head to tail, frowned slightly, and a chair similar to his appeared behind Dumbledore while waving his hands.

This move made the entire hall so quiet that you could hear the drop of a needle suddenly resounded with successive voices of astonishment.

Almost all wizards have tried it after walking in here, and they really couldn't use any magic power, but this shrunken version of the Dark Lord turned into a chair with a wave of his hand?Although everyone knows that the Dark Lord and Dumbledore are so powerful that they can use wandless magic, but they can also use wandless magic in the forbidden magic pattern. Is this a bit too exaggerated?Did they underestimate the strength of the Dark Lord before?

The hand that Tom showed finally brought everyone back to their senses.

After being stunned for a moment, Dumbledore showed an amiable smile on his face. The eyes he looked at Tom were extremely soft, and it was not difficult to see the relief, joy, and many, many joys in his eyes. Emotions.

This kind of gaze made Tom snort unhappily, and his arrogant attitude made people hate, "I'm not going to sit here by myself, but let an old man of this age stand."

Dumbledore just laughed, not angry at all.

He didn't know what happened to Tom, but he began to look forward to the originally nervous negotiation.Maybe Tom invited him and the members of the Order of the Phoenix here this time because he really wanted to negotiate, not for any other purpose, maybe Tom really changed.

After all, the child who had no love in his eyes at all and didn't know what love is has already started to fall in love—although the fact that the object of love is Snape is incomprehensible, because the original Tom has no love because of his background and life. The reason for the environment is not at all because they don't know what love is, and they are full of hatred and world-weariness. Snape is not a person who can give love, and the two people actually came together—is there anything impossible? ?
