Mentor and Friends

"Merlin." Ron took out his double-sided mirror, looked at the person in the mirror, and sighed almost exaggeratedly.

"I didn't know that my appearance could make you immediately think of Merlin, Ronald." Hermione in the double mirror looked at him wryly.

"Hermione, you are simply greater than Merlin." Ron admired sincerely.

"You usually just call me long-winded." Hermione raised her eyebrows, and Harry laughed unkindly after hearing this, "Oh, well, I heard Harry's laughter, it seems that you Together this time - Harry hope you've been doing well lately - and I was wondering what's going on with you this time?"

"Oh well, you're always so smart," said Ron, "actually, we had a holiday here, and then we went back to Godric's Hollow, and then we suddenly found out that our neighbors had been changed."

"By?" Hermione raised her eyebrows meaningfully.

"Oh yes, Harry accidentally exposed his Parseltongue, and was heard by someone from the Black family, so you know, the Black family has all kinds of worries, so they came to visit us, And then they seem to find that Harry is so different from someone, and in the end, your appearance is comparable to Merlin's existence!"

"Okay, Harry's stupid thing again."

Harry pointed at himself innocently, moved his mouth and finally wisely chose to shut up.

Ron snickered for a moment.

"Wait." Hermione realized that something was wrong, "You've been at Hogwarts all this time. Could it be that Harry ran off to free the basilisk? I remember he hated that thing."

"Oh, of course he didn't go looking for the basilisk. In fact, a child was kidnapped. Harry chased it before us, but the person who kidnapped the child raised a dog that could obey orders. Snake, what about that snake, I don’t know who was bewitched by it. If you want me to say, it’s the third big snake I’ve seen. It was stopped, so the people who rushed to support just arrived, it was as simple as that.”

"Simple?" Tom raised his eyebrows in disapproval. He expressed dissatisfaction with Ron's description of Harry's experience in Knockturn Alley so simply, "Everything in Knockturn Alley...well..."

Before Tom could finish speaking, Harry covered his mouth eagerly.

The other party was so impatient that he even leaned his entire upper body on his body, and the eager breath sprayed on his face, Tom even forgot to react for a moment.

The atmosphere is too ambiguous.

However, this atmosphere did not last long, and an angry roar resounded throughout the room: "Harry Potter!"

Almost all the three people present trembled from the roar of this voice.

"Merlin..." Harry moaned.

"You went to Knockturn Alley again, you actually went to Knockturn Alley again, how did you promise me at that time, and you ran to Knockturn Alley within five years, don't tell me that your side is now replaced by Knockturn Alley If you lose the existence of Diagon Alley, then I will eat it. You know better than anyone else the impact of Knockturn Alley on you, don’t you, and you, Ronald!" The habit of spitting out a series of words still hasn't changed. Tom, who experienced this way of scolding others for the first time, said that he was really frightened, "What are you doing, how can you let Harry go to Knockturn Alley, you guys Shouldn't they be inseparable!"

"I don't want to either..." Ron said with a sad face.

"Hermione, it's really not Ron's fault." Harry rubbed his temples with lingering fear. Hermione is fine with everything, but she will be impatient when encountering their affairs. "Really, I promise!"

"You can't go to Knockturn Alley. There are almost all black wizards there. What will you do if you go there and get into trouble? It's not an ordinary spell that can repel dark wizards in Knockturn Alley." And Harry just happened to be suppressing the magical elements in his body recently, preventing them from coming into balance.

"Hermione, don't worry, I'm really fine, I just accidentally exposed the Parseltongue and was targeted by Black, but they probably couldn't find my origin, so I gave the Potter family a hint, and then let them test it out I."

"Oh, well, I think I need to calm down, Draco, give me a cup of tea, thanks," said Hermione.

"What?" Ron felt as if he had misheard, "Malfoy is next to you?"

"Actually, yes." Hermione drank the tea in the cup in one breath, "I've been living in Malfoy Manor recently, oh well, we didn't want to contact you immediately when we tested the two-way mirror that can connect to you Yes, after all, there is actually nothing going on here, but I still want to share this with you, Ron, Harry, I... am with Draco."

Ron almost threw the double-sided mirror on the ground.

"You...and Malfoy?" Ron screamed.

Compared with the acceptance when Harry and Tom were together, he looked like he could be scared to pass out at any time and anywhere.

"Oh, I know it's unbelievable, but..."

"Hermione, we bless you," Harry said, "Hey Malfoy, if you play Hermione, we won't let you go."

"He doesn't dare." It was obvious that Harry's blessing made Hermione's nervousness a lot more cheerful, "I'll give him a punch like the third grade."

"May Merlin bless him," said Harry.

"Okay, let's get back to business," Hermione looked at Ron in the double-sided mirror stiffly and muttering to himself, and shook her head helplessly, "there are the Potters next to you, oh well, Harry you What are you going to do?"

"I don't know." Harry bit his lower lip and said, "I... always feel a little scared, you know, I've never seen them, although they have nothing to do with me now, subconsciously..." It took him a long time to separate Tom from Voldemort, and that was based on one being his sworn enemy, and the other... the other's experience. When I was in the sixth grade, I felt distressed about it. Those encounters were related to myself. So similar.

But the Potters, strictly speaking, should be their grandparents, there is no difference.

He didn't know how he should face it.

"But darling, I can tell you want to face it," said Hermione softly.

"Yes, I have to face it, I have to adapt to this environment... Hermione, I plan to stay in this world."

"What?" Hermione blinked. "Harry, what did you say?"

Harry snatched the double-sided mirror from Ron's hand, and from Hermione's side, she could see Harry and Tom clearly.

"He..." Tom saw the woman in the double-sided mirror with wide eyes and trembling lips as if she wanted to say something, but she never made a sound.

But Tom understood the word.

That's "Voldemort" lips.

"Tom Riddle, Hermione, just Tom Riddle," Harry emphasized.

"You...you stayed there for him?"

In fact, compared to Ron, Hermione was more difficult to accept at the moment when she knew about it. Ron had gotten along with Tom, from the awkward stranger at the beginning to at least plain and peaceful later, when Tom said he wanted to pursue Harry At that time, although he was surprised and surprised, although he found it unbelievable, but at least he got along with him before, and after a subtle influence, he calmed down.

However, Hermione, who has been in touch with Harry for a long time, and has only contacted him a few times in the two years since they came here, has very little information about Harry.

And out of the blue, Harry told her that he was staying and not going back, and it was because of this... Voldemort?

"Hermione, how long can your current magic power last?" Harry asked softly.

Hermione was silent for a while, and said: "Including Draco's magic power, it should be enough for our five-hour call, because I unilaterally connected the two spaces, you can't help, by the way, Harry, I found out You look very pale."

She frowned fiercely.

"Then, calm down, Draco, I know you are by Hermione's side, you must calm Hermione when necessary, listen to me."

To Hermione, these things had to be confessed.

Harry has many things to do alone, but he will never hide from Hermione and Ron.

The matter of his coming into this world, the matter of meeting Tom, the conflict at the beginning and the later letting go after getting Hermione's permission, Harry always remembered clearly every change of mood.

Hermione, on the other hand, listened very carefully.

Even though both of their hands were shaking.

Tom remained silent throughout. He noticed that the woman in the mirror sometimes looked at him, but most of the time, the woman only paid attention to Harry.

But there was no love in those eyes, only pure worry.

Tom suddenly felt that he envied friendship.

However, only suddenly.

Now he had Harry, which was fine.

Harry spoke in detail about what happened during these days and his mentality changes. It was more than an hour after he finished speaking.

"I want to stay, so... I have to face any circumstances here." Harry finally said

"It's your decision, Harry." Hermione was silent for a while, and finally said with some difficulty, "I don't know if this is good or bad, oh, even if he is here I have to say, he is an unstable factors, Harry, even if you are really stuck in it, don't lose yourself, and don't forget your bottom line."

Harry nodded.

"I can't say I bless you all, because to be honest, I haven't gotten along with him so I don't know how to say it, but, like when I promised to be with Draco, many people think I will regret it , but at least I have no regrets now." Hermione took a deep breath, "Let us bless each other, Harry, and hope... our good luck can last forever."

"bless you."

my friend.
