Mentor and Friends

In the middle of the night, Hogwarts was peaceful.

Except for those children who want to take advantage of the night to play night tours, there are not many people active in Hogwarts.

The door to the headmaster's office was opened, and Harry took off the Invisibility Cloak.

"Harry?" A very gentle voice sounded, with a little smile, "You started playing night tour again?"

Harry lit the lamp in the headmaster's office, where Albus Dumbledore was looking at him with a kind smile on the wall of the headmaster's office.

Many of the photos were blank, and the people in them probably went to other places to visit, and the rest of the people pretended to be asleep, and some looked at him openly.

"Yeah." Harry replied with a chuckle, "As soon as I got back to Hogwarts, the old problem of nocturnal wandering happened again, but now no one will take off my invisibility cloak when I'm not paying attention, it's a big deal. Made it easier for me."

"Oh, night travel is not a good habit." Albus looked at him with a smile, the old man's eyes were shining with wisdom as always, even though his life and thinking stopped at the moment of his death, but Harry subconsciously want to depend on him.

"You can't expect me to be too disciplined, Headmaster." Harry didn't dislike the coldness of the floor, he just sat on the floor, leaning against the desk behind him, looking up at Albus slightly, "otherwise everyone will think that something is wrong with me .”

"Yes yes," said Albus, "just as I could never stop the Weasley brothers from stopping their mischief."

Harry chuckled, but said nothing.

Silence spread throughout the principal's office, and no one spoke. Even though the principals in the portraits were eager to know what happened, they could tell that the child who used to visit the principal's office was invisible to them. In a period of time, there have been great changes.

"Principal..." Even if he helped another Dumbledore in another world, this one in front of him will never be replaced in his heart. There are many words, he will not be with another Dumbledore Lido said, but he likes to share his secrets with the old man in front of him, "I have encountered some troubles."

"You're still young, Harry." Albus looked at Harry and said, "Life has to go through a lot of ups and downs, and you'll be able to recollect it when you're old."

"Like you, Headmaster?"

"Yes." Albus said, "Harry, no matter whether it's people or things you encounter, you shouldn't run away from it."

"Principal, may I ask?" Harry leaned his head on his knees, looking sideways at the principal, "As for Tom Riddle, why didn't you intervene when you saw something was wrong with him?"

"Harry, I have many, many students," Albus said. "Some people have been educated differently from Hogwarts's flattering ideas when they were not enrolled. For example, the Black family back then, they worshiped the Dark Arts, But Hogwarts does not have such teaching, they are destined to have different development after leaving the school, but as long as they are in school, they are students of Hogwarts."

"Hogwarts students..."

"Everyone has their own different path to take. What the school can teach is knowledge, and it can't influence their decision. It's my responsibility, but it's not my responsibility that Tom took that path, do you understand?"

"Don't you feel sorry?"

"I feel sorry for every child who has gone astray. It's just that everyone has a different view on things. Maybe what we think of as a wrong path is the most suitable for them in the eyes of others?"

Harry blinked, but said nothing.

"Harry, after you have been exposed to black magic all these years, what is the biggest feeling you have?"

"There is no so-called evil in magic, it only depends on how the person who uses it treats it."

"Harry, no matter what difficult things you encounter, why don't you try to think from a different angle. Maybe others can easily figure out the problems you can't figure out?" Albus peeled a candy for himself, "Would you like to come here?" try?"

"No need." Harry laughed, "Albus, I'm not like you, I need to worry about my teeth."

"That would be such a pity." Albus shrugged. "It's 12:[-], Harry," he looked at the time. "Are you sure you're not going for a night tour but staying up all night?" ?"

"That's a good idea." Harry stood up, "I think I need to go to the Astronomy Tower and get some cool air to clear myself up.

"Miss Granger will be angry if she finds out." Although Hermione was married to Draco, Albus was still used to calling everyone by his own name in his lifetime.

"I'll be careful." Harry blinked, and a good deal of life came back to his eyes, and even though Albus didn't know what was bothering him, Albus was able to enlighten Harry even if he didn't know about it.

For Harry, Albus has always been Harry's most respected professor, there is no doubt about it.

Harry didn't lie to Dumbledore, he really went to the Astronomy Tower.

When he is most troubled, he likes to look at the distant scenery from a high place, and then let the cold wind wake him up.

He knows how if Hermione is here at this time, he will definitely be scolded. After all, Hermione has been worried about his health, especially when he lost a child some time ago

He is not suitable for blowing cold wind.

But Harry still came here.

The same Hogwarts, the same Astronomy Tower, still gave Harry a different feeling.

He sat on the astronomy tower, looking at the eyes in the distance but never reflected any scene

He thought a lot, and he kept cutting a lot of things, and the reasoning was still messy.

But he still remembered what Albus said

When you can't think of a reason, it's better to let others think for him.

The person he cares about is Tom. He is so familiar with everything about Tom, but he never seems to think about problems from his perspective.

He just asked Tom not to touch his bottom line, that's all

The winter night sky was only dotted with sparse starlight randomly. Harry looked up at those starlight, and for some reason suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

At that moment, many things flashed through his mind, including his own, some in the war, and all the things he got along with Tom after he arrived in that world.

At the end of the day, everything disappeared, leaving Tom alone, with the coldness in the corners of his eyes gone, and a soft smile, looking at him intently.

That was the tenderness that only belonged to him, the focus that only he had the right to have.

Harry closed his eyes tiredly against the building behind him.

the other side:

Voldemort's high-profile announcement caused everyone in the wizarding world to feel insecure. After Voldemort announced that he supported pure blood and believed that Muggles should not be with wizards, several Muggle wizards were attacked in the wizarding world.

The Ministry of Magic has nothing to do with this group of people

They can't find each other's hiding place

For a while, the magic world was in a state of chaos.

In the current magic world, there are very few pure-blood wizards, and the ones that remain are families that have been passed down for many years. They still adhere to the theory of pure-blood, and believe that only in this way can the family inheritance flourish.

But now Voldemort's remarks broke this balance.

If, as he said, all Muggle wizards were wiped out, how many people would there be left in the wizarding world?

Tom looked at the report brought by the Death Eaters with a sneer on his lips.

There are many Death Eaters who have alienated because of Voldemort's announcement, especially some small families, and they are pure blood themselves.

After all, there will always be some people who can't see through the disaster that such behavior brings to the wizarding world. Before there is no greater conflict of interests, all they need is to get more benefits for themselves.

Tom tortured them to death in front of everyone without mercy.

They were killed by Cruciatus

It can be considered that they are lucky. Tom is in a bad mood recently, and they just hit the gun. If it was before, Tom would probably show mercy and give them an Avada. Because of the damage to his soul, he is now more and more like Voldemort in Ron's memory

Even if Tom was controlling himself.

The incomplete soul must be repaired, but Voldemort has been separated for many years. Tom broke the connection between the two with the potion, and Voldemort also changed his magic cycle by virtue of the body he occupied.

Even if Tom captures him, it's impossible to use him to repair his own soul.

"Lord." The only unaffected Mulciber stepped forward, frowning slightly, "Should we make a move?"

"We should visit the Ministry of Magic." Tom put away his wand. "The Ministry of Magic cannot take the credit for this matter."

If this matter is done well, their status will be above the Ministry of Magic.

When the Ministry of Magic was uncertain about Voldemort's whereabouts, if the Duke of Darkness was willing to take action, there must be his own reasons.

If the Ministry of Magic is sensible, then it will agree to the request of the Duke of Darkness, if not...

There's a little more cruelty in Tom's smile

He didn't mind using his means to get them to agree.

Tom put away his wand.

He visited the headmaster not long ago, although he didn't want to admit it, but compared to him, the headmaster seems to see Harry better, or maybe, because of the world over there, Harry treats the headmaster better than ordinary people trust?

Who knows.

The other party didn't seem surprised by his arrival.

Even though it wasn't long before they got married that the two had conflicts, it was rare in the wizarding world.

"Tom, you are too calm, so calm that you have your own plans for many things, but you ignore that Harry is a Gryffindor." Albus said cheerfully, "Gryffindor is doomed Not as calm as Slytherin, they tend to act impulsively sometimes."

"Like you?" Gellert interjected.

"Who didn't have an impulse when he was young." Albus said, "There is enough trust between you, no matter what others say in front of Harry, he will insist on believing in you, of course, you are the same, but Tom , There is a lack of honesty between you." He sighed slightly, "This is the deadliest thing for you."

Honestly...

Yeah, both he and Harry were planning their own affairs, thinking about telling each other when it was done.

But after all, they never thought about what would happen to them if things were discovered halfway through.

Both of them really need to calm down...

The author has something to say:

I woke up with a sore throat in the morning. I rummaged through the box and found that several packs of spare cold medicines were expired. The only box of cold medicine was the most sleepy one to eat. As a result, I couldn’t wake up from 11 to [-] o’clock... Expressed I will take the medicine and go to bed later, good night everyone o(*￣▽￣*)o
