Mentor and Friends

"Oh, I think you must have been to many places, Harry." Doria looked at Harry excitedly on the path in Godric's Hollow, "Those adventures sound scary and exciting."

"Oh yes, several times I thought I had to stay in this forest." Harry laughed heartily, "But I have to say, although it is dangerous, I find it very interesting."

"Although you graduated in France, Harry, I still have to say, you are simply a Gryffindor." Doria shook his head and laughed.

"There's nothing wrong with Gryffindor, I've always thought I like a lot of fun, so when Albus asked me to be head of Gryffindor, I agreed right away."

"I think the kids love you, even if you give them 40-inch parchment homework," says Doria.

"Oh, that length sounds horrible to me, and they only write 40 inches, but if I want to correct, I can't read it in 40 inches." Harry pretended to be horrified, "In that case, I'd rather not read it." Homework."

"Okay, well, Gryffindors are always talking about this and their face changes."

"You can't expect them to sit down and talk about it in peace."

"Yes, I absolutely agree with this..."

When they reached the door, Doria waved to Harry: "See you tomorrow, Harry."

"See you tomorrow."

After entering the door, Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking the first step is always the hardest. Facing Doria when he was young... I am also glad that he has never met his grandma. Even in the Mirror of Erised, he only saw his parents. Under such circumstances, when facing Doria, I can relax a lot at any rate.

At first, he was almost worried that he would be speechless, but fortunately, even though he was holding his palms with sweat, except for the bumps and bumps at the beginning, at least they were able to chat happily later.

At the very beginning, Doria probably just felt that he was nervous when he met his new neighbor for the first time, probably because he was regarded as a shy or unsociable person, but afterward, the conversation between them might be able to Let her forget about these things.

Everything will be fine, as long as he is willing to take the first step.

"Are you back?" Ron sat on the sofa and waved to him.

"What?" Harry knew that Ron was waiting for him here, and after closing the door, he walked to Ron's side - if he read correctly, there was a letter in front of Ron.

"Didn't we look for something before?" Ron shook the letter in his hand and handed it to Harry, "Winter wrote a letter saying that he has news."

"I didn't expect to find it for him." Harry glanced at the content roughly, "He said that the reliability of the news is not high, but it is worth checking out, but it is very dangerous...Morlock Forest...if If we really want to go, we have to spare at least two months, I remember that the forest is very big."

If they want to forcibly open the two spaces, they need not only magic power, but also other substances, and magic minerals are the best medium. Unfortunately, although Harry had a few ideas, he couldn't find several things. When Viente said that he would return his favor, he just mentioned it casually.

Unexpectedly, Viente gave him such a surprise so soon.

Morlock Forest, an unspoiled primeval forest, also has this forest in Harry's space, but when Harry was lucky enough to pass by there after he grew up, it had been severely deforested by Muggles, although the animals in it were very important It is very dangerous for Muggles, but in the era of continuous improvement of various guns and ammunition, it is only a matter of time before those "wild, beasts" are killed.

Even if it is magic, they dare not easily face Muggle weapons, let alone animals who know how to be extremely sensitive to danger.

When Harry passed the forest, there was nothing in it.

But Harry still heard from other people that there used to be a primitive black magic forest, and the black magic atmosphere there was not man-made, but formed by the condensation of black magic from animals.

"In that case, do you want to go together?" Ron pointedly looked up at the stairs.

Harry knew who he was referring to.

Would you like to take Tom with you?

"I don't know." Harry looked at the letter in his hand, "I can't keep watching him, it's not what I want, I have to respect him," Harry sighed, "I can't keep him bound, I Respect his opinion if he wants to come with us."

That night, Harry knocked on Tom's door.

Tom opened the door, his face was as cold as ever, even a little indifferent, but when he saw Harry, there was a slight warmth in his eyes.

"I hope I didn't bother you." Harry tilted his head.

"Of course not." Tom stepped aside to let Harry in.

Tom's room has changed a lot compared to when he first came here. It used to be a guest room for Tom. At that time, there was only a bed, a small wardrobe, a desk and a chair. Tom has been staying here all these years, and the small wardrobe has been replaced by a large wardrobe. A small bookshelf is set up on the desk, which is full of Tom’s books. In addition to the chair that matches the desk, there are more small coffee tables and two small ones in the room. The chairs and the carpet originally chosen by Harry in the room were replaced by Tom's favorite color. In the past few years, this place has changed from the living room to Tom's room.

"There's something I need to discuss with you." Harry sat on the chair.

"Huh?" Tom raised his eyebrows gracefully, motioning for Harry to continue.

"Because of the need to link the two spaces, Ron and I made a lot of ideas before, and the one with the greatest opportunity, we couldn't find suitable materials, but not long ago, I received a letter that someone had them Although the news is not reliable, it is worth a try." Harry poured himself a glass of water, "However, Morlock Forest is too big and dangerous, and our trip is expected to take more than two months." Fortunately, the summer vacation is from July to September. They should be in time for this trip.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Tom thought for a moment, frowning worriedly.

He was going to find a chance to get out of Harry's sight yesterday, but now...

"No, I'm not going to" Harry shook his head to Tom's surprise.

Tom looked at him with some surprise.

"Tom, I don't want to keep watching you." Harry smiled wryly, "I admit, I still don't trust you until now. Since I entered Hogwarts, I have been observing and monitoring you. A horcrux was born from your hand, but I don't want to go on like this, you should have freedom, not because of my worry, you have to stay by my side all the time," he took a deep breath, "You want to do Even if I keep watching you, you will definitely find a way to do it, instead of me restraining you, it is better for you to restrain yourself."

Tom gave a faint smile.

Never, the one who understands him best is Harry.

"I'm just asking for your opinion," said Harry. "If you want to come with us, I welcome it, but if you don't, I won't force it."

"Although I don't want to leave your side, Harry," Tom sat next to Harry and looked at Harry seriously, "I still want to say, I'm afraid I can't participate in your journey. "

As if unexpected, but actually expected, Harry didn't interrupt Tom, but waited for him to continue.

"I crave power, I don't deny that, I crave power, you can see that very clearly, Harry, I've always been an ambitious person," Tom said, "Harry, you are very powerful, so powerful that you Sometimes I worry that I can't keep up with you, and I keep thinking, can I hold such a powerful you in my hand?"

Harry opened his mouth, as if about to say something.

"Don't say anything because you went through the war, because you had to, Harry," Tom began before Harry could speak, "what you can do, why can't I, you can be strong, I think, I Of course it can."

Yeah, got through the war, trained myself, Harry can, why can't Tom?

"I don't want to follow you on this journey. I want to continue to be strong, but the premise is that I am not under your cover. I take you as my model, but I don't want to match you, but surpass you."

"You can," Harry chuckled, "you've always been a genius, at least to me, you're a genius."

"So Harry, I want to go out and experience experience, not with you, but by myself, walk around, see the world, and experience other things." By the way, develop your own power, "Maybe next time When you see me, you will see a different me."

"I have no doubt of that," said Harry. "I look forward to your success, Tom, then."

Tom nodded.

Not long after, Tom escorted Harry out of his room.

Then he went back to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out the parchment.

His owl came back just in time to feed.

He wrote a letter.

This time his letter was unusually simple, not in the style of a Slytherin at all.

But he believes that when this letter is sent out, many people will jump up excitedly.

The owl left with the letter. Tom stood by the window, watching the back of the owl going away, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

His eyes were gradually covered in blood, but the color of excitement flickered in his eyes.

Even if it is a few years late, the coronation of the Duke of Darkness will eventually come...

However, even Harry and Tom didn't expect that they would meet each other for four full years after parting this time...
