the Gambler

Harry woke up almost the moment Tom stood up. He adjusted his steady breathing to avoid being noticed by the other party. After a rustling sound of dressing, the portrait leading to the doorway spun open.Harry quickly jumped up from the bed, grabbed the robe at the foot of the bed and put it on. He took out the Invisibility Cloak and the Marauder's Map from the box for emergencies.

Harry took out his wand and touched the parchment lightly: "I solemnly swear that I will do no good."

Dense lines spread outward from the tip of the staff, and soon the entire Hogwarts castle appeared.Harry anxiously searched for Tom's name. The little ink dot was heading towards Umbridge's office. After a while, the little black dot representing the two descended to the second floor again. Harry immediately understood Tom's purpose Where is the land.He quickly put away the map, put on the invisibility cloak, took a shortcut and squatted at the door of the bathroom.

It didn't take long for Tom and Umbridge to appear in Harry's field of vision. He noticed that the witch's eyes were blank and her expression was dull. The wand in Tom's hand had been pointing at the back of each other's head, which belonged to Umbridge.The dark-haired Slytherin hissed at the sink, and the entire countertop swung open, and the boy ordered Umbridge to go down first, who jumped into the pipe without hesitation.After both of them had disappeared, Harry let go of the concern that Tom had used the Imperius Curse on Umbridge!

Obviously not a good result.Harry grabbed the cloak he was wearing and followed the two of them. He watched Tom put his finger into the eyeball of the Slytherin statue, and a tall door slowly appeared there. Harry used his Seeker's dexterity Get in before the door closes.This is a heptagonal prism room, each wall is embedded with bookshelves from the ceiling to the floor, full of books of all kinds, only a spacious desk and two armchairs are placed in the middle of the room, and the flame in the corner fireplace burns A strange dark green.This looks like a study, Harry thought, and he noticed that there was a name on the border of each shelf, and he moved closer to the place where it said Salazar Slytherin, and there were other snakes not far below. Harry couldn't help gasping for the names of his descendants. This is Slytherin's study, the real chamber of secrets.

"Quickly imprison." A blinding white light and Harry's all-too-familiar voice woke up the stunned boy. He turned over to avoid the attack, and the magic spell bounced off the invisible barrier outside the bookshelf and rushed towards Harry. He tripped over the Invisibility Cloak and fell to the ground.Looking at the immobile outsider, Tom stretched out his hand to touch it a few times, then tore off the cloak that was covering him, and smiled knowingly at Harry.Afterwards, he gently stroked the silver surface of the invisibility cloak, and the fluid touch made him immediately realize that this was no ordinary invisibility cloak.

"The Invisibility Cloak? It's a rare treasure," said Tom.

"Yeah, that's smart. Shall I reward you with a little red flower?" Harry said dryly, already annoyed at being caught, and now Tom was clutching the Potter heirloom, looking Very fascinated.Yes, everyone would react like this when they saw the Invisibility Cloak, but Tom was no ordinary person, and the greedy glint in his eyes made Harry suspect that the other party wanted to keep it for himself.The boy clenched his teeth and glared at Tom sullenly. After knowing it was Harry, the other party still had no intention of breaking the binding spell.

"How did you get this treasure?" Tom examined the cloak carefully, pausing at a strange mark.It looked like a triangular eye with a thin line in the middle of the pupil.Tom felt that this thing looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.Ignoring Harry's angry stare, he sat down in the comfortable armchair and mused that he had definitely seen that symbol more than once - the symbol of the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald!

Tom looked at Harry in shock: "Where did you get such a thing?"

"You nasty arrogant bastard—what?" Harry's complaint was interrupted by Tom's sudden question, with a particularly ferocious expression on his face, as if he wanted to tear his brain out to get the answer.Harry frowned: "This is the family heirloom of the Potter family."

"Don't fool me, Harry Potter!" Tom quickly walked up to Harry and squatted down, and stuffed the mark almost under the boy's nose. Harry was almost wrinkled, it was just an ordinary mark, To be honest, he didn't even notice this thing, it was not obvious mixed with the surrounding silver.He didn't understand where Tom's anger came from. It was obviously something from the Potter family, and Dumbledore handed it into his own hands!

"No one knows more about invisibility cloaks than I do! It's from the Potter family! My family has had it for centuries!" Harry stared at Tom viciously, how dare that bastard suspect that Harry's things were of unknown origin!ha!

"You're not lying." Tom looked at Harry's expression carefully, and waved his hand to break the spell, and the latter quickly grabbed the cloak and hugged it in his arms.

"Only the Potter family and those who are recognized by them can exert the effectiveness of this cloak," Harry said in a proud tone, stroking the baby lightly, "it is a spiritual guy, and he is only loyal to his master."

"It's fascinating. I have to admit that I'm surprised. After all, not everyone can stay calm when they see Grindelwald's logo appearing on the cloak," Tom tilted his head, "It seems that this pattern has existed longer than I imagined it longer."

"I don't know who the person you're talking about, I think Hermione mentioned it." Harry waited for Tom's explanation in doubt.

"Gellert Grindelwald graduated from Durmstrang, he is a great Dark Lord and is recognized as one of the most dangerous dark wizards ever." Tom frowned, "Haven't you heard of it? He was at the top of my game in my time, and no one could stand against his army. Grindelwald occupied almost all of Europe, but never stopped in England, which has always puzzled me. If you don't know it, it should mean that he soon Losing power, who would have the ability to bring down such a powerful black monarch?"

"Obviously Dumbledore." Harry sneered at Tom's shocked expression, no evil can defeat justice, it's the same in any era, he has completely remembered the introduction of Principal Dumbledore on the chocolate frog card, he knows there is no What hurt Tom more than this was that the other party had shown great dissatisfaction with the old man from the very beginning.Harry cleared his throat: "I know this will surprise you, after all you came here two years before he failed. In fact, Headmaster Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald in 1945 and locked him in New York City." In the tallest tower of Mongard, he still stays in it."

"Maybe the reason Grindelwald didn't come to England is because he was afraid of Principal Dumbledore." Harry continued to add fuel to the fire, and Tom's face really couldn't be worse.

Harry looked curiously at Umbridge who was limp on the floor and said, "What are you going to do? I can't believe you dare to use the Imperius Curse in the castle. Is there something wrong with your brain? If someone finds out what to do?"

"I'll make sure no one can find me." Tom kicked the witch's fat body with disgust, "Hogwarts magic is associated with the headmaster, but this woman was rejected by the gatekeeper in the headmaster's office. No one will know I used the Imperius Curse."

"Your words make me feel worse, you can get past the Headmaster's surveillance and torture people casually." Harry stared at Tom warily, which was worse than it was more than 50 years ago, when there were at least Headmaster Dippet and Professor Dumbledore Controlling Tom's crazy behavior, under their noses, the tall boy still blamed Hagrid after killing Myrtle. What's even more ridiculous is that he also won a special contribution award.Harry didn't know what the result of his duel with Tom would be. He was obviously not at the same level as the opponent. Oh, don't count on the effectiveness of the brother wand. The opponent would definitely be able to bypass that problem and deal with him.Harry just wished he could grow up quickly.

"Otherwise, why do you think I have to wait until Umbridge drives Dumbledore away before acting? You are too naive." Tom said indifferently. He walked to the bookshelf and shouted at the decorative snake on it. With the sound of 'open', the bookshelf rotated to reveal the deep tunnel behind.It was as if someone had turned on the light switch, and suddenly the torches on the entire stone wall were burning again. There was a smell of mud in the air, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.Tom lifted Harry's petrification spell, and controlled Umbridge to go deep into the tunnel. Harry followed behind in a hurry. The vast forest in front of me was stunned.

"This is where?"

"In the deepest part of the Forbidden Forest, this is Salazar's secret passage specially prepared for hunting basilisks. She likes the small animals here." Tom threw Umbridge away, and the witch slumped on the ground like a rag. After lifting the Imperius Curse, Umbridge looked around in horror, and finally stared at Tom and Harry with his toad eyes.She let out a sharp cry, moved her fat buttocks and took a few steps back, pointing her fingers in the direction of the two and condemning their actions loudly: "How dare you cast the Imperius Curse on me! I was appointed by Minister Fudge Senior investigator and headmaster of Hogwarts! You two shameless and dirty half-breeds! I already knew that you should all be expelled, and that Dumbledore who knows what to do dares to threaten me!"

Tom took a step forward, and Umbridge fumbled in his pockets frantically for his wand, only to see Tom take a particularly stubby stick out of his robes and let out an even more disturbed cry.Tom grinned grimly. "Looking for this? Don't worry I'll give it back to you soon, after I've made sure you've had enough.”

"It's against the law!" Umbridge yelled, though clearly lacking confidence.

"Yes, I realized it too." Tom narrowed his eyes and grabbed the witch's collar, "I accidentally saw something interesting from your memory, a quill that casts blood magic? I have to praise the current Wizards are getting more creative. I've always wondered how that thing works, maybe you want to show me?" Tom took a roll of parchment and a black quill from his snakeskin pocket, and with that thoughtful Looking at Umbridge with a frightened expression on his face, "What would be better to write? How about Fudge being a piece of shit? I guess he won't be too happy to see such a row of words on your arm."

"Don't dream, I won't write those words that insult the Minister!"

"Did I give you a choice? Out of body!" As the words fell, Umbridge returned to his demented appearance, and Harry watched her follow Tom's instructions and write on the parchment over and over again, "Fudge is a Waste', her right arm was completely soaked in blood, but Umbridge's expression did not change at all, which made Harry feel disgusted and disturbed, disgusted by the unconditional obedience of the man being manipulated, disturbed that he did not show What a sympathy, yes he feels guilty, and that's because he's guilty of not being able to feel the guilt he should be.

I didn't become callous and cruel, which she deserved.Harry kept reminding himself that he knew that many students in the school had also been locked up, maybe not as badly as his, but Umbridge was definitely not a gentle person.Yay, she deserves it, you don't stop it for the sake of more people, no one should be under Umbridge's high-handed rule.

"You don't look well, do you feel guilty?"

"I don't know." Harry admitted in a low voice. Tom walked up to Harry with Umbridge's wand, without giving the boy a chance to react. Suddenly, Harry saw a beam of white light shooting at his chest. He was horrified to see Tom Show a smug expression.

Harry felt a familiar tingling sensation across his body, as if the whole world was dominated by Tom's repeated orders, he couldn't help but slammed into Yunsong beside him, and when his head was about to hit the bark, Harry bit his tongue hard, The sharp pain and the smell of rust in his mouth woke him up instantly, and he scratched Tom with a sharp eye knife, and the shock on the latter's face was obvious.

"You cast the Imperius Curse on me! Do you still want to kill me next!" Harry raised his wand angrily, and the Crushing Curse brushed against Tom's ear, and the boulder beside Umbridge exploded.Tom raised his hands to indicate that he had no intention of fighting. Harry stared at him angrily and waited for him to explain. In return, he received an unpleasant compliment:

"I didn't know you could resist the Imperius Curse, and that was an eye-opener, Harry."
