Mentor and Friends

Although he knew that Harry had returned, Tom still couldn't find it.

He had looked for many places where Harry was likely to go, but there was still no sign of Harry.

He knew that Harry was avoiding him on purpose.

There was nothing he could do about it.

If Harry tried to avoid him, it would be impossible to find him no matter how hard he tried.

Tom vented all his anger on Voldemort. He also discovered recently that Voldemort's actions have gone from being crazy at the beginning to being almost frightened now. Few people have taken refuge in him anymore, but more and more people have recently turned to him. news of the death.

Tom and Abraxas agreed that if it wasn't Voldemort's desperate move, then it should be Voldemort killing people who disagreed with him.

He has gone crazy.

Tom was very sure that Voldemort was already insane. Killing his subordinates at this time would be tantamount to weakening his own strength. He should only be thinking about hating others for betraying him, and he has completely ignored the external situation.

Having guessed this, Tom quite simply delivered the final blow to Voldemort.

Just like the darkness before dawn, this period of time is the darkest period in the wizarding world since Voldemort came to power.

You can never guess whether the god of death will come to you in the next moment.

Not only Muggle wizards, but even pure-blood wizards were attacked in the same way, and the head of the Black family died in this storm.

The superior is his son, his methods are more ruthless than his father, and of course, he is also more foresight.

At least if it was him, he would not do something like knowing that Harry was the Duke of Darkness's partner but indulge his side branch to capture him.

Hogwarts is always the safest place. With Dumbledore in charge and Grindelwald secretly protecting him, Voldemort cannot touch Hogwarts in the slightest.

What's more, he couldn't even break Hogwarts' defense at all.

Wasn't it because of the existence of the disappearing cabinet that the Death Eaters broke into Harry's sixth grade school?

It's a pity that no one is aware of this at all now, not to mention that the disappearing cabinet in Knockturn Alley has been taken away by Harry long ago, and it has been destroyed cleanly.

The Ministry of Magic has been very busy during this period. After all, the position of Abu Axas is vaguely unstable. After all, the situation is very turbulent now.

However, as long as the Malfoy family is tied to the Duke of Darkness, as long as they don't want to provoke public anger like Fudge did back then, no one will dare to touch him.

Tom went to visit Ron.

Ron received him.

"Harry is back." Holding the tea brought by Ron, Tom didn't ask, but stated the facts, "I felt him that day during the turmoil in Malfoy Manor."

"Oh." Ron replied slowly.

If Ron still had the aura and ruthlessness honed by the war as an advantage against Tom before, then this advantage has disappeared at this time.

No matter how short the current turmoil in the wizarding world is, it is still an unforgettable war, bloodshed and fighting, which have been continuously staged during this period of time. It is also through the war that Tom has learned in the war. It can be said that Ron has no advantage in front of Tom at this time. If he is not careful, Tom may get the information he wants.

So Ron adhered to the idea of ​​saying too many mistakes, and just answered this sentence slowly.

"Looks like you know." Seeing Ron's reaction, Tom raised his eyebrows.

Sure enough, Ron knew about Harry's return.

"Well," Ron nodded, thinking about what Harry had ordered before he left, what he could say and what could not be said filtered through his mind before he spoke again, "He came back three years ago."

Tom put the teacup heavily on the table in front of him. He narrowed his eyes, and an inexplicable storm was brewing in his eyes: "Three years ago?"

"Yeah, three years ago." Ron shrugged, "and then went somewhere else and played around for a few years."

Hid him and hid abroad!

Tom thought a lot, but in the end he could only sigh softly.

"Can you tell me why he left?"

"Can't you see it?" Ron smiled, as if he was happy to see Tom's troubles at this time, "he doesn't want to see you."

It looked like the guy was enjoying Harry's refusal to see him.

"What's the reason?"

"Harry is a stubborn person. Even if you make a mistake unintentionally, but when he becomes stubborn, no one can persuade him." Ron stretched out two fingers, "Look, you made a fool twice, the second time I helped you solve the most serious consequences of Voldemort's stupidity for you, you let him go for so many years and still haven't solved it, Harry will see you."

"You mean, as long as I can sort out this mess..."

"Harry will 'probably' come back to see you." Ron looked at him with a smile, and the maliciousness in his eyes was very obvious. After all, he was not a person who could hide his thoughts.

"Of course, it's one thing for him to see you, but another thing for him to forgive you." Ron suppressed the smile in his eyes, "You know, Harry is an orphan, and he cared very much about the passing of his child back then." This matter was brought up by him selfishly, and in the event that Voldemort ultimately failed, Voldemort was no longer the biggest problem between Harry and Riddle.

They need to sit down and talk about their children, and pour out all their regrets and regrets over the years.

"Thank you," said Tom.

"You're welcome, I'm not here for you," said Ron awkwardly.

With Ron's disclosure, Tom hit Voldemort more frequently.

The public clearly senses that there have been fewer recent attacks.

However, despite this, Abraxas did not rush to praise his achievements. Instead, he repeatedly revealed in the "Daily Prophet" that everyone should be careful recently. After all, as long as Voldemort is not dead, everything is possible.

Regarding this, some people who were still dissatisfied with Abraxas secretly nodded to express their satisfaction with Abraxas' actions.

After all, what they need is not a leader who is dizzy and only thinks about his own achievements, they need someone who can lead them safely through this turbulent period.

Half a month later, Voldemort's power was wiped out, and they faced off again in Hogsmeade.

There are only a few dark wizards controlled by spells around Voldemort, but from these dark wizards, Tom clearly understands that many people are stronger than his own Death Eaters.

It's no wonder that even if his power was wiped out, he could still toss for so long, and he didn't know what method Voldemort used to control them.

During the melee, Tom clearly saw that something was wrong with Voldemort.

Although he was still attacking many people there, and many of the attacks were fierce, he seemed more like a person who hadn't woken up. He would narrow his eyes vaguely, and after a second or two, he would become clear again.

His eyes that had already turned red changed their color again at this moment, the red was slowly fading, and there seemed to be a faint flash of gold.

The expression that occasionally flashed on his face was the confusion and cruelty that did not belong to him.

It was as if someone was robbing him of his body.

Tom quickly overpowered him.

For Voldemort, who was in a weak state at the moment, if he couldn't subdue him immediately, then I'm afraid he didn't have to wait for Harry to come back, and he could die directly in Voldemort's hands.

"As I said, only one person is enough in this world." Tom looked down at the restrained Voldemort with a cruel smile on his lips, "You will never be as good as me."

The curse belonging to Harry and Voldemort accidentally fell on these two people, and only one survived. It was the curse that fell on the two people from the moment Voldemort became self-aware from the notebook and decided to escape.

"Tom Riddle..." Voldemort's originally golden eyes turned red again, and he hoarsely sounded more like he was speaking in Parseltongue, "Why give up the wishes you need, why forget the wishes you made Horcrux ambition," he said unwillingly, "I just did something you didn't want to do, and you are more cowardly than me."

"No..." Tom looked at him, it was split from his soul, and the conversation between the two at this time was more like Tom's own self-examination.

The wish of the year, the ambition of the year, the unwillingness of the year...

When the soul piece was separated, he carried all the emotions he had back then, so even if the soul piece had his own body, in the end, he couldn't escape the shackles of these desires and ambitions.

If Tom hadn't been too ambitious, unwilling, and stubborn back then, even if the soul stored in the notebook escaped, he might be able to find a body by himself, and then have his own life.

It's a pity...it's a pity that it was finally affected by the personality of the main soul.

At this time, Voldemort is like a sincere subordinate, asking his master, what you expect and want, I have already done it for you, and you, what have you done?

"I haven't forgotten," Tom's voice softened unexpectedly, "it's just that I have things to do by myself, and people who are more important than that to protect." He squatted down, and through the person in front of him, he It seemed that he saw his 16-year-old self again. The child's eyes revealed persistence and anger, "I'm sorry..." The wand rested on Voldemort's body, and the ray of death shot into his body, "I'm sorry... "

It was to veto the self-centered boy back then.It is also an apology for the past.

Back then, he was young and frivolous, ignorant of the world, self-righteous and completely concealed, conceited that he should be above anyone else, obsession, obstinacy, conceit, and darkness, forged the tragedy of Voldemort today.

It is an apology to the past self, and it is also an apology to Voldemort who has his own soul that should have belonged to his own life.

No one's world should be filled with absolute despair.

There will always be some people who will appear by your side and tell you that the world is not so dark.
