Mentor and Friends

Three years later, Malfoy Manor;

"I didn't expect you to agree to be Lucius' godfather." Abraxas looked at the person in front of him while holding the newly born child.

Tom didn't answer, but just looked at the child in Abraxas' arms in a daze.

If his spell hadn't hit Harry, their child...

Tom closed his eyes and exhaled lightly: "If you don't like it, I won't force it."

"It's an honor for him to have a Duke of Darkness become the godfather." Abraxas shook his head, "Let's not talk about that. Recently, many people have been making frequent moves. What are you going to do?"

Over the years, because of Harry's departure, he has not appeared in front of people for a long time. Many people speculated what happened to the Duke of Darkness's partner. The wedding back then made everyone see how much the Duke of Darkness cared about his partner, but these years , has not heard any news from him.

Many people are guessing what happened to the partner of the Duke of Darkness. He has not been seen in these years. Could it be that he was secretly dealt with because he angered the Duke of Darkness?

After all, the Duke of Darkness' methods have become more and more ruthless over the years, and he was merciless when he met Voldemort's men.

Many people are guessing where the Harry Evans who shocked everyone when he didn't make a move back then has gone, but more people have already started to use their brains.

Since the other party hasn't appeared in these years, then they must be gone. If so, then they should be able to take over, right?

Many people have been making frequent moves recently, and Voldemort seems to be no longer the focus of their attention. After all, Voldemort is promoting the theory of pure blood, and they will be fine until the Muggles die.

"Not going to do anything about it," said Tom. "They're not worth my attention."

"So, after three years, haven't you found a way to get Harry back?"

"There's no need to look for it," said Tom.

"Oh?" Abraxas raised his eyebrows. He didn't believe that Tom would give up on Harry. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to wait for so many years.

"They should take action at Lucius' baptism." Tom didn't intend to stay longer, "You should pay attention to yourself."

Abraxas shrugged.

Tom went back to his home.

After Harry left, he stayed at their home in Godric's Hollow all these years. In the past few years, he was looking for Harry according to the traces left by the magic circle, and these years he was just used to waiting for Harry here. .

Without Harry, this family became extremely deserted.

Tom was lying on the sofa, holding his wand in his right hand, and no one knew what he was thinking.

The Malfoy family is happy to have an heir. Mrs. Malfoy's body suffered a lot when she had a miscarriage three years ago, and this time she almost lost her life after giving birth to this child. She didn't show up.

The birth of a new heir to the Malfoy family was itself a cause for celebration, and after the news that his godfather was the Dark Lord came out, people paid more attention to it.

If it was just cooperation before, then agreeing to be Lucius Malfoy's godfather is tying the Death Eaters and the Malfoy family together.

Everyone thought it was because of the interests between the two, but what they didn't know was that part of the reason why Tom agreed to be Lucius' godfather was his love for the child.

On the day Lucius was born, he happened to be a guest of the Malfoy family, and while waiting for the child to be born, it was logically not suitable for him to stay at the Malfoy Manor, but for some unknown reason, he somehow stayed there.

He participated in the whole process of Lucius' birth, and watched Abraxas' anxious expression fade from his face and turned into surprise.

That is the joy of the birth of a new life.

He looked at Abraxas's joy and suppressed his faint sadness.

After all, he made the mistake himself, and he should be responsible for all of this.

The newborn child didn't open his eyes immediately, but when Lucius opened his eyes, Abraxas looked at those blue eyes and was silent for a while.

When the originally wrinkled child's facial features began to grow, Abraxas looked at the child in silence for a while.

He didn't get the answer back then, but many things seemed to be clear to this child.

He sighed softly and hugged his child tightly.

Mrs. Malfoy was lying on the hospital bed. She was too weak to take care of the children, and the Malfoy family's preference for children was destined to make them unable to bear the house elves taking care of their children.

The heavy responsibility of taking care of Lucius naturally fell on Abraxas.

Although old Malfoy loves his grandson, he knows that the task of teaching the heir must be done by the child's father himself after all.

Just when the child's baptism was completed, there was an explosion, and what Abraxas and Tom guessed came true, and Voldemort did it.

Over the years, because of Tom's own problems, sometimes Tom was a little powerless with Voldemort's affairs. This tug-of-war dragged on for three years. Voldemort didn't get any benefits, and the Ministry of Magic couldn't pull them out. .

The dark period in the wizarding world lasted for three or four years. Everyone was in danger. Only Hogwarts was the safest place with Dumbledore in charge.

Back then, Tom had nearly vowed that one day he would have a unique name, and that no one would dare to pronounce his name.

Years later, this soul piece that became Voldemort did just that.

"You-Know-Who" has replaced "Voldemort" as what people call him.

This tug of war changed after Roy appeared in front of Tom.

This young man who had only received a little favor from Harry at the beginning had grown into an excellent potionist, and already had his own place in the Potions Association.

He had met Tom a few times, and although he hadn't spoken to him, as an excellent therapist at St. Mungo's Hospital, he naturally saw that something was wrong with Tom.

"It's just to repay Professor Evans' favor." Roy said, "Although I don't know why I haven't been able to contact Professor Evans these years, I know he cares about you."

What he gave Tom was a soul-stabilizing potion, which was much better than the potion researched by Abraxas and Tom himself.

In the past year, Tom has taken the potion given by Roy, which has suppressed the negative emotions that are always clamoring in his character, and even faint signs of self-healing have appeared in his soul.

He is very aware of Roy's character. Such a person has different feelings for those who help him when he is most difficult, like gratitude and attachment.

Because Tom's own situation improved, the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters began to fight back during this period.

Voldemort had suffered no small loss these days.

The raid on Malfoy Manor should be his counterattack.

"You already guessed that I would come to make a surprise attack." Voldemort seldom appeared in person, and it was the first time Tom and him had met since he made a high-profile announcement of his appearance.

No one knew that the two were ever connected to the same piece of soul.

Voldemort's face was slightly pale, and even so thin that someone might even think it was a skeleton just by looking at it.

"You know I can guess, but you still chose to attack." Tom tapped his palm lightly with his wand, looking at Voldemort, this person who was split from his soul was not worthy of him at all. Dealing with it personally, if it wasn't for his soul problems some time ago, how could Voldemort have been arrogant for so many years.

"Why, do you want to confuse me with the way you confuse others?" Looking at Voldemort who looked a little hideous, Tom smiled conceitedly, "Don't forget, you were split from the depths of my soul, what you think What, I can't possibly not know."

Even after these years, the experiences of the two are different, but Tom can guess it clearly just by looking at each other's expressions.

"As long as I kill you," he licked the corner of his lips, "I can replace you." A similar soul should not have two bodies.

Tom sneered: "Just what I want."

Malfoy Manor became a battlefield for two people. Although there was no winner at the beginning, Abraxas could tell that after the initial close match, Tom clearly had the upper hand.

Although the two of them have encountered different things and experiences in the past few years, and the methods are naturally different, but in the final analysis, Tom has experienced much more than Voldemort.

And the most important point is that Voldemort's was separated from Tom's soul. Even though he fused other people's magic power fluctuations, he always used a wand that was not his natal wand.

Unless he has a way to take the wand from Tom's hand or get the legendary Elder Wand.

Although he could use the original magic wand of the body he occupied, it is a pity that when he occupied this body, the original owner broke his magic wand with his last consciousness.

Although such a question is usually nothing, when facing Tom, he will be overwhelmed by Tom.

Tom really killed him. He couldn't let Voldemort continue to survive. Only by killing him could all this end.

However, in the end Tom missed the opportunity.

After all, the death curse missed. He seemed to have sensed something. He who could have killed Voldemort suddenly retracted his wand and turned his head to look in a certain direction.

Voldemort took this opportunity to leave, but just as he was about to Apparate, a spell came from his right side.

Tom didn't bother to chase Voldemort, he ran towards the place where the curse was cast, and then, there was nothing there...
