the Gambler

"He's out of his mind." Harry said sullenly. He glanced at Professor Binns on the podium. The ghost spoke in a duller voice about the war between goblins and wizards. Almost all the students below were asleep. Drowsy, only Hermione and Tom remained awake.Ron covered his face with the book, spit making the tabletop shiny.Harry's eyelids couldn't stop fighting. If it wasn't for spying on Tom, he would have gone to see Hypnos with his friends.

"Who? Oh, Marvolo." Hermione took up the topic, "You met in the Chamber of Secrets."

The young Dark Lord and Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets appeared in the same sentence at the same time. Even Ron, who was in a deep sleep, woke up trembling. His eyes were still swollen, he was obviously not full of sleep, and his voice was hoarse with sleepiness. : "He dragged you away before you told us what happened."

"I can happily tell you that there is absolutely nothing that can help you sleep." Harry saw Tom, who was sitting on the Slytherin side, turn his head to look at him, the corners of his mouth curled up.Harry pointed his middle finger, turned around and continued, "We're dueling," he quickly covered the mouths of Hermione and Ron who were about to scream, and waited until his friend nodded before letting go, "He almost killed me."

"We need to tell Headmaster Dumbledore!" Hermione lowered her voice, and Ron nodded eagerly.

"But we can't," said Harry resignedly. "The headmaster disappeared a month ago, remember? He hasn't contacted me since. Of course I haven't been able to contact him."

"Where's Professor McGonagall?"

"She is being closely monitored by Umbridge now, and it seems that the woman feels that she will threaten her position." Hermione explained.

Harry waved them to be quiet, and he brought the subject back: "Tom is absolutely out of his mind, what do you think he said after the duel? You would never guess, he said he didn't want to kill me at all, just wanted to make sure I had Without the ability to stand beside him and use black magic to appraise, I swear that his spell hit the basilisk corpse, and it lost half!"

Looking at the wide-open eyes of the two, Harry continued to add: "What makes me feel even more perverted is that he said afterwards that I was the most important thing to him, and he would not let anyone hurt me, hell, when he said this Did he cast 'Forget Nothing' on himself? I almost died because of him!"

"Love you enough to kill you?" Ron mumbled, and Harry raised his eyebrows and looked at him with that contemptuous expression.

"Twisted possessiveness," said Hermione, "not quite the level of love."

"No, he doesn't have the concept of love, he hasn't loved anyone." Harry's words made the two of them look puzzled, and he said the facts he had talked with Tom indifferently, "Tom himself admitted to me .Don't get that look, Hermione, you're not stupid enough to think Tom loves me because of a soul mate?"

"That means he has a twisted obsession with you." Hermione showed a worried expression, "Harry, that's not a good thing. Obsession has always been associated with bad things. The Trojan horse massacre is a typical example. I don't mean You compare yourself to Helen. Harry, I just want to tell you that infatuation is different from love, and it is dangerous, especially if the person who has a crush on you is a young Dark Lord. He has a tendency to destroy personality, and if you lose it, you can keep him feeling interest, he will destroy you without hesitation."

"You're just making it sound worse, Hermione."

"Yeah, Hermione, you're so smart, you must be able to help Harry?" Ron looked at his beloved witch with hopeful eyes, Hermione nodded hesitantly, and he quickly put on a bright smile, He patted Harry on the shoulder carelessly, "Then tell me quickly!"

Hermione's eyes were fixed on Harry, and the hairs on the back of the boy's neck stood on end with a strange look.

"Hook//seduce him, Harry, to make him fall in love with you."

Harry and Ron made that strangled sound at the same time, and Professor Binns glared at them angrily.The two looked at the professor apologetically before the other continued his boring lecture.Harry said in a startled tone, "You're kidding, Hermione. It's not funny at all."

"Yeah, you make me think April Fool's Day is coming early. I have a more constructive suggestion, it's better to just kill Marvolo, anyway, plus Fred and George, there are so many of us, let alone And Professor McGonagall."

"That would mess up the timeline! We don't know when we'll be able to send him back!" Hermione retorted angrily.

"Maybe we don't have to worry about that anymore," said Harry muffled.

"What does this mean?"

"It's okay, I'll just say it casually." Harry didn't want to tell Hermione and Ron about Tom's imminent discovery of his identity. The two would definitely live in fear, which was the last thing Harry wanted to see.Maybe, just maybe he could put off that terrible future for a while longer.

Tom watched the boy on the other side of the room carefully.Harry was whispering something to his two friends, all three were pale, and Tom was sure they were talking about himself.Halfway through, Harry turned his head and stared at him sternly.

Oh, for Salazar's sake, he wanted to destroy Harry completely, watching those bright green eyes watering, those delicate lips pleading, and then he would slowly put The boy put it back together and made it into the perfect shape.

Tom smiled slyly, and he could feel the eyes of those stupid girls staring at him, eager for his attention, as if he would give them a look.Tom snorted coldly in his heart, he only wanted the best, and those defective products would only stain his bed.

The bell announcing the end of class finally rang, and Tom packed his things quickly. He glanced at the Slytherins sitting around him, and they immediately received the message that he needed to be alone. Only that idiot Parkinson wanted to follow, but luckily Zabini held the witch, otherwise, Tom felt that he would not be able to resist giving her a little bit of pain.Parkinson clearly hadn't figured out his place.

"Harry." Tom quickly walked up to the boy who lowered his head and tidied up, and the latter walked around him towards the door without raising his head. The two Gryffindors looked at Tom with horrified expressions, and followed quickly Harry's pace.

"You should stop when I call your name." Noticing that only the Slytherin and Gryffindor trio were left in the classroom now, Tom spit out a sentence in Latin, and the door to the outside slammed shut , The loud noise attracted everyone's attention.Harry's hand barely rested on the doorknob, and the tingling sensation of the electric shock made him withdraw his hand immediately. The boy turned and stared back at Tom.

"You should be quiet when I don't stop!" Harry yelled.

All the Slytherins stretched out their wands, and Hermione and Ron aimed at them instantly, and the atmosphere on both sides was tense.Tom raised his hand to signal the followers to put down their wands. He didn't intend to start a fight yet, and Harry and his own wands hadn't been pulled out yet, although he was sure that the boy's hand had already grasped the handle of the holly wood, Just wait for him to give the signal first, and he will pounce on him like a ferocious beast.Tom walked slowly towards Harry, his tone calm, or a little cheerful: "Your self-destructive tendencies make me suspect that you have been expecting someone to completely destroy you."

"Hehe, that's really overestimating me. I want to live a few more years." Harry narrowed his eyes, "Especially I will enjoy my life until you die."

"I thought you wanted to spend your life with me?" Tom teased.

Harry squinted his eyes, his muscles tensed to tear the other's smug face.ha!That shameless bastard!Harry forced himself to calm down and met Tom's cold eyes: "I think you will fall to the ground now and stop panting!"

"If I fall to the ground, you have to be under me." Tom shortened the distance between the two of them, they are now only needing a push to kiss each other, "You know how much I want you to breathe .”

"You disgust me."

"I don't know when I got you pregnant, honey."

"To shut up!"

"If you can do it." Tom tapped his forefinger on his lips and smiled slyly, and Harry didn't want to admit how damn sexy it looked.The black-haired Gryffindor couldn't be more frustrated, he is still a shameless person, how can he win a verbal battle with a completely shameless mouth!Let the Dark Lord and everything explode!

Tom's smile became more and more smug after seeing Harry's frustrated expression. He reached out and grabbed Harry's shoulders, pulling him closer to him.

"Do you want to have a sweet French kiss in front of everyone?" Tom hung his lips less than a centimeter above Harry's, and his warm breath tickled the latter, and Harry writhed uneasily. to move, but Tom's strength was too great.It's not fair!Harry was the one practicing Quidditch!Tom has absolutely no motor skills!

"You're talking like I want to kiss you," Harry looked up, desperate for the look to kill the smug bastard at the moment, "especially after you've pissed me off."

"Dear Harry, are you implying that I can kiss if it makes you feel better?" Tom's hand slowly slid down Harry's spine, staying at the level of the waist, and the latter moved Goosebumps all over.

"You'd better shut up quickly."

"It's a little difficult. How about talking about what makes you happy?"

"Please me?" Harry challenged him.

Tom burst out laughing, and Harry had to admit that he had never seen him smile so sincerely. Coupled with his handsome appearance, Harry would mistake Tom for an ordinary student, but they all knew that Tom was far from ordinary. far away.He's a Dark Lord on the rise.This Tom made all the Slytherins look back and forth between the two of them uneasily, they were stiff and pale, and some of them even started to tremble.But no one dared to interrupt the tense and ambiguous atmosphere between Tom and Harry.

"You look like a kitten with teeth and claws," Tom looked at Harry with an amused expression, messy black hair and emerald green eyes, "Only the kind of milk cat that has no strength at birth will hunt on something stronger than it." I can tolerate your disrespect, but not forever."

"I don't care what you think, thank you." As soon as he finished speaking, Harry hit Tom's nose with the top of his head with all his strength, and a blood-red stream flowed down the other's pale skin. Taking advantage of Tom's distracted opportunity, Harry broke free from the latter's embrace, his wand in his hand warily.

Tom reached out his hand to wipe away the blood, he pushed away the Slytherin who was supporting him, a red light emerged from the tip of the staff and connected with Harry's white light, the whole classroom was surrounded by huge magic power, the dazzling golden light replaced the red light He Bai, the magic fluctuations centered on the two of them made the window glass shatter into dust as if it had been crushed.Harry could feel the wand trembling in his hand. He looked up at Tom, who had the same trembling wand in Slytherin's hand, and the other party was no less surprised than himself.

A melodious chirping sound suddenly filled the space, and Harry realized he had heard it before, the song of the phoenix.He felt that his whole body was surrounded by hot water, his consciousness seemed to be wandering in a warm and quiet place, and the loud shouts around him had nothing to do with him——

"Harry! Disconnect!" Hermione yelled. Harry could only see the witch's terrified expression. He noticed that the magic power gathering point was slowly approaching him. There was a gap in his strength compared to Tom's.Harry looked up at the wizard at the other end of the golden thread, the other's eyes were blue mixed with a few streaks of blood.If it is completely replaced by red, it is like Voldemort standing in front of him.The humanoid monster looked at Harry with such fascination that the boy felt his heart stop beating.

So much like Voldemort.

Tom Riddle is clearly Voldemort.
