the Gambler

Harry watched in despair as the exploding golden light slowly approached him, the wand in his hand trembled as he tried to break free, he put his other hand on the wand, and the golden light began to move slowly towards Tom again.Suddenly, a force made his body levitate, suspended in mid-air like Tom.Tom began to grasp his wand with both hands as well, and the golden light moved back to Harry's side.Immediately afterwards, the yew wand screamed shrillly, and a translucent arm emerged from the tip, followed by other parts, until the whole body of Cedric appeared in front of Harry.

Harry stared at Cedric's ghost in horror, and Tom's face was even more ugly.The ghost floated up to Harry, and he surveyed Tom with that unintelligible look, finally focusing on Harry.Harry felt like he was about to scare his wand away when another head popped out of Tom's wand, an old man's head.

"Disconnect him!" Cedric yelled suddenly, and Harry subconsciously carried out the other party's instructions. He retracted his wand forcefully, and the golden thread broke, and the whole room seemed to be swept by a huge storm, and everywhere was affected. and unconscious students.Harry watched in shock as Tom quickly turned his head to look in Cedric's direction. He could feel something cold touch his cheek, but there was nothing in front of him.Cedric had disappeared.

Harry stared at the wand in his hand in astonishment, and Hermione suddenly ran from the side and hugged him tightly.The girl's suppressed crying echoed in the classroom, and Ron quickly reacted and joined the hug.The Slytherins on the other side were still immersed in the strange scene just now, they looked at Tom helplessly and waited for the other party's order.

"That couldn't have been more wonderful, though I don't know why Digory was there," said Tom with a rapt look, the sudden light in his eyes making Harry uncomfortable.Tom turned his head to all the students of the Snake Academy and announced: "From now on, Harry Potter belongs to me, Marvolo Riddle, and anyone who dares to touch my belongings will know what will happen. ' Slytherin nodded respectfully.Satisfied with their reactions, Tom refocused his attention on the stunned trio as he paced gracefully up to Harry, a contented grin on his face.

"I want to get to know you completely."

Harry was lying on the long table in the library, with a pile of books half a person's height on each side of his body. Tom and Hermione were carefully looking up the information about the connection of the two wands. At the beginning, Tom felt that he had more to do with the wand. The latter obviously stated that it was not the first time he had dueled with Harry. If it was a soul relationship, it would have happened the same way last time. ('But you didn't cast the spell face-to-face last time!' retorted Hermione.) Ron had already slept on the pile of books, and the interruption of sleep in Professor Binns' class had always been a nuisance to him.Harry frowned and glanced at Tom who was seriously flipping the pages of the book. This man couldn't be more shameless. He just returned from the duel as if nothing had happened!Definitely a schizophrenic!

"If you're secretly slandering, it's best not to stare at the target, it's easy for the other party to notice." Tom whispered, his eyes never leaving the book in his hand, he could feel Harry's exhausted Status, "You can sleep for a while and tell me what your wand is before you close your eyes."

"Eleven inches, holly, phoenix feathers."

Tom smiled in surprise. "Phoenix feathers? Mine are thirteen and a half inches, yew, and also phoenix feathers."

"Yes, Mr. Ollivander said we were twin wands, both with cores made of the tail feathers of Headmaster Dumbledore's phoenix—Fawkes."

"I don't know about it," said Tom thoughtfully.

"You didn't tell us! Harry Potter!" Hermione raised her voice, and Mrs. Pince gave the witch a dissatisfied look. Hermione quickly lowered her voice, "Then we should start to find the answer from the point of the same wand."

Tom put his head close to Harry's for a good look, and Harry frowned.

"You're getting more and more interesting, Harry," said Tom cheerfully. "It's a funny coincidence that yew means immortality and immortality, and holly means death and rebirth. And we used the tail feathers of the same phoenix as Wand and heart. I am more sure that you are my soul mate."

"Can't you just stop reminding me of that? Seriously, we're not even friends now, at least in my opinion they're going to stab me in the ribs instead of me."

"You want me to formally pursue you?" Tom raised his eyebrows, and he put on a very sincere look, making Harry hit his head on the table in anger, damn it, how can he stay around this psychopath, Merlin Bless Principal Dumbledore to find a way to send Tom back quickly, Harry felt that his mood swings these days were almost catching up with Lavender.

Hermione suddenly reached out and grabbed Harry's arm. The latter looked up just in time to meet the witch's shining eyes. She held a thick book in her hand. Harry looked closer at where Hermione was pointing.The large Latin text made his eyes hurt, and perhaps aware of Harry's embarrassment, Hermione explained: "Flashback curse. Your wands are brother wands, which is a very rare phenomenon. If the master insists that they fight each other , one of the wands will force the other to replay the most recently cast spell in flashback."

"I did cast the Storm Curse, but I don't remember killing Diggory. Does this mean that the future me was also in Riddle's cemetery? He was the one who actually killed Diggory?" Tom narrowed his eyes. Eyes, "What does Harry mean when he says that the man who killed Cedric himself was a dirty rat?"

Harry's whole body is not well, he doesn't know how to describe the subtle feeling in his chest, the feeling of experiencing heaven and hell in just one sentence, Tom is a smart person, so he can really kill Cedric's name is clearly remembered, and Merlin is on top, and Goddess of Fate seems to be on his side.Harry was suddenly grateful that the person holding Voldemort's wand was Peter Pettigrew, and he had been calling him a traitor or a mouse!The world couldn't be more wonderful!

"Your Animagus form is a mouse."

"Are you kidding me? Why am I a mouse? Maybe a snake can take it." Tom said disgustedly. The thing that lives in the gutter is an insult to his IQ. Mouse, how the hell is that possible?But Harry's expression was determined, if not slightly overjoyed.Tom had a feeling that Harry was laughing at himself about the fact that the Animagus was a mouse.

Harry managed to keep himself from laughing out loud, and Ron, already blushing, bit his fingers hard to keep from laughing, but he was blocked by the pile of books in front of Tom.Harry smiled and said, "Dear Tommy, you know that the Animagus form comes from the heart, and it's not something that can be easily changed. Maybe you subconsciously wish to become a flexible little mouse?"

Tom didn't speak for a long time, his expression contorted, and Harry could have sworn there was a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"What you said makes sense. I originally planned to practice the Animagus form. After all, this is an advanced transfiguration technique. Well, now I have no interest at all."

"Poor Tommy, this must be a big blow to you." Harry teased, he felt a lot better suddenly, ha!He didn't think he would mind dancing in front of Snape in a dress!He kind of understands that Tom likes to deliberately tease him. He likes to see the subtle sense of shame that the other party is showing now, especially when he thinks of the smug face that Tom has always put on his face. There is nothing more satisfying than this!

"Shut up and don't call me Tommy."

"Come on, Tommy is a cute name! Especially with your charming expression now," Harry did something he didn't expect, he stretched out his hand and pinched the young Dark Lord's cheek, the texture was good, especially slippery.Tom was taken aback by the sudden movement. He quickly reacted and grabbed Harry's mischievous hand, pulling the boy into his arms. Harry was horrified to hear the boy say a spell he had never heard before. Many small plant tentacles grew, and those things kept rubbing Harry's body under Tom's command, and Harry couldn't help but burst into deafening laughter, even tears.

Tom's self-satisfied face quickly changed into an apologetic expression when Mrs. Pince yelled 'Get out', but that didn't calm down the furious witch. The four of them were almost kicked out of the library. Mrs. Pince said seriously Don't expect to see them in the library for a whole month.Hermione's anger was obvious. She seemed to forget Tom's true identity for a short time, and reprimanded Tom for his stupid and irresponsible behavior with a roar that could make even giants shiver. Then, like firecrackers being ignited, she rushed back After leaving Gryffindor Tower, Ron followed closely behind the witch, turning his head and winking gratefully at Harry.The two quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

"It's all your fault." Harry grumbled disapprovingly. "In the OWLs year! A whole month! Can't come to the library! I'll fail my exam!"

Tom raised his well-shaped eyebrows: "The grade test is very simple. If you need tutoring, I can help you. Anyway, there are no evil activities that can be organized. These are the tasks of the future me, aren't they?" With a thoughtful expression, "You reminded me to some extent that I want to give the group of Slytherins some training. The Room of Requirement is not enough. Maybe the Room of Secrets is a good choice."

Harry looked at Tom in shock: "You want to take them to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets? Are you crazy!"

"Not now, I haven't revealed my plan to be a descendant of Slytherin, and I have to identify which wastes to kick out of my inner group. Parkinson's is definitely needed, but she still has some role." Tom closed the door His eyes pondered for a while, and when he opened it again, Harry saw a red light flashing in the blue eyes of the other party, "I forgot to deal with Umbridge. Your intervention made things complicated. I originally wanted to use the basilisk Get that woman."

"You don't have just one plan," Harry said firmly.Tom's a crafty Slytherin, they usually have a backup plan don't they?

"The Forbidden Forest at night is a dangerous place." Tom smiled, "I will solve that trouble as soon as possible, and spare precious time for you to study."

"I don't intend to spend more time with you than I do now, you are not a good company."

Tom covered his heart with his hands, showing a hurt expression: "You hurt me."

"If it is really useful, I will persevere."

"It's kind of cruel, my love."

"For Salazar's sake, keep your damn mouth shut!"
