Mentor and Friends

Malfoy Manor was closed to the outside world, and Abraxas Malfoy did not go anywhere except the Ministry of Magic during this period.

The wizarding world is celebrating the death of You-Know-Who.

The darkness that had shrouded the British wizarding world for many years finally dissipated, and everyone cheered for it. The momentum was very similar to the scene when Harry was one year old.

It's just that neither Harry nor Tom was in the mood to comfort this.

For three whole days, the guest room belonging to Tom was not opened. Ron only went in once, and then waited anxiously outside.

No one expected that Voldemort could do such a thing to Tom before his death. Tom was caught off guard, and Harry had no time to stop it.

Although Harry wanted to cut out the part of Tom's soul from Voldemort's soul, he failed. Voldemort's soul fusion with his current body was too thorough, and Harry tried his best but failed. Although the soul is fused, it cannot erase the fact that some of Voldemort's magical fluctuations belong to Tom.

This made Voldemort use up his magic power to give Tom a severe blow to the soul before his death.

As Tom said, Voldemort's soul was influenced by his 16-year-old self, becoming extreme and persistent.

He doesn't think he's wrong, he thinks the world should be his, and he thinks his ideas are always right.

For such a person, no matter how gently you tell him that your attachment is wrong, I am afraid the other party will not accept it.

And obviously, when he was 16 years old, Tom really didn't listen to any persuasion, not to mention that at that time, there was no one like Harry who patiently persuaded and guided him after integrating into his life.

For Voldemort, what Tom has done so far is tantamount to running counter to the wish he made at the age of 16. It is a kind of anger at being deceived and a hatred of being betrayed.

In the end, before dying, Voldemort still made a move.

Tom's soul was the most severely traumatized, and Tom's soul had hidden dangers before that. He relied on Roy's potion to stabilize his situation. Voldemort's actions were tantamount to making all this fall short.

Tom killed Voldemort, and Voldemort nearly killed him.

Harry brought Tom back to Malfoy Manor. In the current situation, only Malfoy Manor can be considered safe.

Ron once wanted to help, but found that there was no help at all, so he could only stand outside the door and wait patiently.

After all, it wasn't Harry who was injured, he didn't think he was in a panic, he still had time to send a letter to Moody, telling him that he was in Malfoy Manor, but Malfoy Manor was under martial law in recent days, so he let Moody stay at home take care of yourself.

He wasn't worried about Riddle, he was worried that Harry would save someone and ignore himself.

It's not that there are no therapists in St. Mungo's Hospital who can detect people's souls, but no one knows about the lack of Tom's soul, so if Harry thinks he can heal, he doesn't need St. Mungo's help.

On the fourth day, Harry finally came out of the room.

He looked a little tired, but it wasn't too bad, it was just Ron who noticed his red and swollen forehead the first time.

Without waiting for Abraxas to ask, Ron yanked Harry and led him into the guest room that Abraxas had prepared for him these days.

Entering the guest room, Ron cast a spell on Harry's head.

The answer he got was about the same as he expected, and the soul tablet on Harry's head didn't respond.

It's not that he couldn't sleep well, but that he disappeared.

He frowned, and finally asked uncertainly, "Hermione's attention?"

Harry nodded and poured himself a cup of tea.

"During the time you went back, what answer did you get?"

"En." Harry held the teacup, a little drowsy, "Before I came back, Hermione gave me advice, she said, although it is not the same soul, but since the soul piece on my head can be compared with Tom's soul If it resonates with the instrument, then there must be a certain connection between them. Although it will not allow me to force the soul piece on Tom, there should be a connection between the two, just like my wand is destroyed, but I But it’s like finding a second magic wand of life in this space.”

"So you're working on this?"

"Well, I want to give it a try and see if its soul fluctuations can be accepted by Tom." Harry stroked his teacup thoughtfully.

"The results of it?"

"In the end...I didn't even expect that Tom sucked the soul piece completely, but the soul piece didn't resist at all, or in other words, it was as if it was dying, without any strength. To be able to watch myself being eaten away.”

"You mean, the soul piece is dying?" Ron's eyes widened.

"Yes, the soul piece is dying..." Harry's eyes darkened, "If I'm not mistaken, in another ten or twenty years, the soul piece will die, and then it won't do anything to me anymore. threaten."

"The soul piece can actually die... Didn't it mean that if the Horcrux is not destroyed, then the soul piece will be protected?"

"I think, maybe the function of the 'Horcrux' is not like the book says, it can make people 'fly away from death'..." Harry said, "It should be the same as making people die, but the main body dies Afterwards, the soul piece was added. It seems that the life of a human being has been delayed for decades, but even a wizard cannot really die forever. The said Horcrux belongs to the category of black magic, but even if it is true, there should be a 'legend' on the side of the black wizard."

However, in his space, and this space, no matter how hard he searched, he has never found anyone who has survived by horcruxes.

"At that time, we checked a lot of information, and Hermione and I searched over the years. She thought that the first person who made Horcruxes thought it could prevent his own death, so this method was passed down, but then he disappeared. Maybe it's dead, and the temptation to fly away from death is too great, so there was a time when people frantically used this method to make Horcruxes, and many people died during that time, and later people found that this method was too evil and too Vicious, so they found a way to destroy the Horcruxes, destroyed the Horcruxes of the people who made the Horcruxes, and killed them, so no one verified whether the "Horcruxes" can really make people fly away from death , the existence of all the sayings and records about it depends on the first person who made the Horcrux but disappeared, and the Horcrux has been passed down to this day, and it has been listed as an extreme black magic, so it gradually disappeared in the wizarding world, and slowly No matter which world Tom is, what he saw at the beginning should be incomplete." This is Hermione's bold guess, whether it is right or wrong, the question of the soul slice on his head now Solved, then Harry knew that Hermione's research on this would stop.

After all, no matter how strong Hermione's desire for knowledge is, the study of Horcruxes still makes her feel sick.

"However, it is true that Voldemort did not die even though he was rebounded by the Killing Curse." Ron said with a frown.

"Maybe it was because of the location of the Horcrux that he was able to stay alive. It seems that as long as the Horcrux does not disappear, he will not die, but Ron, don't forget his age at that time." Harry said, "If it weren't for..." He pursed his lips, he finally said, "If it weren't for Snape's Killing Curse, the headmaster would not have died so early, and the headmaster was already over 100 years old at that time, and Voldemort didn't even die when he died. to a hundred years old."

If there were no accidents in the wizard's life, then it would not be a problem to live one or two hundred years old. If it was not for the overall situation, it would not be a problem for the principal to live for more than 100 years.

"You see, Voldemort paid the price of losing his sanity in exchange for prolonging his life, but whether it is body or soul, he will eventually grow old one day. Maybe, after one or two hundred years, even without my existence, he will Gradually grow old and die?" Of course, Voldemort has died, and there is no way to prove whether this guess is right or wrong.

"But Voldemort's soul has completely disappeared, so the Horcrux on your forehead does not have the magic power of the main soul. In addition, it was originally separated by Voldemort inadvertently. In addition, he tried his best twice in the past few years. It’s trying to create a sense of self that takes over your body and doesn’t succeed, so aging gets worse.”

Ron said everything he could think of.

That would explain why Harry hadn't had any accidents when he used Tom to deal with his own troubles.

"Of course, the previous idea was just our guess. Once Voldemort dies, no one knows whether our guess will come true." Harry shrugged, and he put down his teacup.

He felt hungry, but also sleepy.

After weighing the two, he felt that he had better sleep first.

He was so sleepy now that he found it hard to open his mouth even for soup.

Talking to Ron had used up what was left of him.

……

Harry slept deeply all day, and when he woke up just in time for dinner at Malfoy Manor, he wiped out half of the table's food by himself.

"I said..." Ron looked at him and twitched the corners of his mouth, "Do you really want to overeat like this?"

"I'm starving to death." Harry's eating is not ugly, but it must not have anything to do with elegance. "Between starving to death or being stuffed to death, I will definitely choose the latter."

Abraxas is taking care of Lucius, because Mrs. Malfoy is still weak, and Lucius rarely drinks breast milk. After all, a newborn baby needs to eat as soon as he wakes up, and sometimes Mrs. Malfoy sleeps. Just the whole day, it is impossible to take care of Lucius every day.

And tonight, his dinner happened to be milk carefully prepared by the house elves.

Compared to the month when he was just born, Lucius is much more energetic now than before. At least he no longer eats when he is full and wakes up. He can still eat with Abraxa after eating. Si produces a moment of parent-child interaction.

A child who is only a few months old cannot recognize people, but he can notice that there are many people around him. Although the eyesight of a child is not good, his perception is indeed sensitive.

When Harry and Ron were talking, he turned to Harry, full of food and drink, and made a broken voice.

It seemed to be laughing, or it seemed to be purely flaunting his own existence, trying to get Harry's attention.

Harry did notice him.

When he turned his head, he happened to see Lucius who couldn't stop laughing.

"This is..." Harry blinked in disbelief, "Lucius Malfoy?"

Abraxas nodded.

Lucius smiled at him.

Harry hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Can I... give him a hug?"

Abraxas nodded.

Harry had never held such a young child before, and when he took Lucius, his arms were a little stiff, and Lucius frowned because of his discomfort, and smacked his mouth for a while.

For children, Abraxas is very patient and gentle. He was also very flustered when he first hugged the newborn Lucius, but now he is considered experienced.

He guided Harry softly.

Harry listened carefully and patiently followed suit.

After a while, Lucius returned to smiling.

Harry hugged Lucius and sat on his seat. He didn't plan to eat any more food before, took Lucius' milk from Abraxas, and fed it clumsily but carefully.

Lucius was quite used to this strange embrace, maybe he didn't notice at all that his feeder had changed, and when Harry passed the milk to his mouth, he opened his mouth.

Only then was Abraxas able to eat. Of course, while he was eating, he also paid attention to Harry's behavior. As long as Lucius was not right, he would take over—since he started taking care of the children, his Many habits have been forced to change, not to mention eating gracefully and slowly. When the child is fussy, there is no end to it. If you don’t eat enough, you can’t cope with the energetic child. So I used to eat [-]% full It is impossible to have some refreshments as a supper in the evening. After all, besides taking care of the children, he also has to deal with official duties. The leisurely life he used to live is completely impossible.

Ron also looked at the child curiously, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Harry had an indescribable love for this young child, and everyone present could see the novelty in his eyes for the child's every move.

Thinking of Harry's regret of losing a child, Abraxas felt melancholy in his heart. When his wife had a miscarriage, he was extremely angry and sad, and his wife even shed tears. Abraxas was sure that if he had If I am not by my wife's side, my wife may not be able to survive the most painful period of losing the child.

Abraxas suddenly thought that when Harry lost his child, Tom was still looking for him all over the world. Abraxas had seen Tom's distraught during that time, and he said over and over again that he killed his own child .

And during that time, the person in front of him must have been extremely painful in comparison.

Thinking of this, he suddenly said, "It was Tom who baptized Lucius... He promised to be Lucius' godfather, and you are also his family, Harry."

Harry looked at him in surprise.

Immediately, a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes: "Tom attaches great importance to your friend, Abu."

Abraxas nodded.

Although their friendship was full of benefits and mutual use at the beginning, it has to be said that even if the original intention of this friendship was not pure, they cherish it very much.

Abraxas nodded.

If he didn't care about this friend, how could he become Lucius' godfather?After all, for Malfoy, family is everything.

Harry looked down at the drowsy Lucius.

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps at the stairway.

Harry turned his head sideways just in time to see Tom coming down the stairs.

The moment their eyes met, Harry found that he seemed to miss the person in front of him more than he imagined...
