Mentor and Friends

"You..." Grindelwald was obviously surprised that the other party could recognize him, and he could still talk to himself calmly when he deliberately released the magic pressure.

He can also protect the kid behind him.

It seems that he hasn't been to England for a long time, and there have been changes in England that he can't control.

"I don't know why you came to England, but since you will appear on the Muggle side, I think you don't want your whereabouts to be known by someone, so sir, I hope you don't force me to do it." Harry Looking at him solemnly.

He didn't know why Grindelwald appeared in England. He only knew that Dumbledore and his duel should be in the next semester. Before that time, Harry didn't know much about them, but Harry only knew One point, this generation of Dark Lord who controlled the whole of Germany and even had the ability to influence other countries did not come here specially to see the scenery.

Harry had never fought against Grindelwald. He thought that Grindelwald, who died and was injured by Voldemort, should not be too strong, but then Hermione's words made them silent.

"Did you see them fight?"

Yes, he didn't see them fighting. Even if Grindelwald wanted to guard Dumbledore's tomb, at that time, his heart was probably ashamed.

Grindelwald can control the whole of Germany and even manipulate the war. He is definitely more difficult to deal with than the brain-dead Voldemort. What's more, this era is his heyday.

No one but Dumbledore could take advantage of him, not even Harry.

"The recent changes in Britain are really beyond my expectations." Grindelwald looked at Harry and said meaningfully.

"Sir is busy with German affairs, so it's normal not to pay attention to British affairs." Harry replied lightly.

Tom stood behind Harry, listening to the two of them.

He always thought that a carefree guy like Harry would live a relaxed and carefree life all day long, but he didn't expect Harry to have such a tense and ready-to-go side.

Standing behind Harry, Tom could feel Harry's current situation the most. He tensed up and protected his right hand. The wand had slipped from his palm, and even Tom couldn't see how it appeared.

Like a vigilant beast, as long as the enemy on the opposite side moves, he will go all out, and he will never give up until he fights with him.

"They said that there is a new professor at Hogwarts. I didn't care about it at first." But now it seems that this is not the case.

Can guess the reason why he appeared in the Muggle world, and know his concerns, such a person, will it be easy?

"You can continue to ignore it." Harry tightened his wand.

"Hehe." Grindelwald laughed softly, "Really?"

Harry didn't answer that question, he knew the answer to it.

"You care about the kid behind you very much." Otherwise, I wouldn't threaten him. You know, generally speaking, those wizards are still not very willing to confront him, the so-called Dark Lord.

"He is my student, a student of Hogwarts." If something happens to him, Dumbledore will also intervene in the investigation of this matter, so I advise you not to get his idea.

Grindelwald seemed to shake his head, and finally said softly: "You won."

He said something to the people behind him, and they Apparated right in front of Harry.

Harry's tense expression did not relax until he was sure that the surroundings were really safe.

He may have a chance of winning against Grindelwald alone, but Grindelwald has the Saints with him, and he has to worry about Tom. Using Dumbledore as a threat is the best choice.

Well, although after this, he is likely to be missed.

But who cares, in half a semester, this guy should be sent to Nurmengard...

But thinking back just now, that guy looked very high-spirited, no matter how you look at it, it didn't look like he was planning to let go of all the time-consuming things that bound him.

Alright, so he hates the so-called aristocratic etiquette, and it seems that what he sees is that expression, and he can't guess it.

"Tom, are you okay?" Harry put away his wand and turned to Tom, who was completely relaxed, but was surprised to find that Tom was in a daze looking at the place where Grindelwald disappeared, and there was even a vague admiration in his eyes and resolutely.

Harry's mind skipped a beat.

He forgot that Tom has been advocating rights since he was a child. When he was in the orphanage, he managed to make it so that no one dared to provoke him. He has always aspired to be at the top.

The appearance of Grindelwald today, his power, his perfection, and the reverence of the saints for him, is tantamount to giving Tom a new desire. After all... Tom is about to graduate, he is going out of Slytherin, Get out of Hogwarts.

Harry thought he read the emotion in Tom's eyes.

He worshiped that kind of strength and longed for that kind of power.

It is definitely not a good thing for Tom to meet Grindelwald today.

"Harry..." Tom said in a dazed voice, "He... is the Dark Lord that people have been talking about, right?"

"En." Harry nodded, "Tom, you... seem to care about him."

"Don't Harry think that he really deserves the title of 'Dark Lord'?" Powerful and elegant, Tom felt, he seemed to have a new goal...beyond him, surpass the person who dared to underestimate him today.

"No." Harry mused, he felt that he didn't have the heart to buy anything else, so he started to walk back.

"No?" Tom was obviously puzzled by Harry's answer, "Why do you say that?"

"He's just a coward."

Timid, the person who has locked himself up for nearly a century.

"Harry, you really know how to joke." Tom smiled, "Will the person who can replace the German Ministry of Magic and control the entire German regime be a coward?"

"Tom, sometimes, being in control of the political power doesn't mean everything." Dumbledore disdain these so-called politics, he would rather stay in Hogwarts and drink happily Honey Tea watched the children fight.

Harry used to not understand, but after Umbridge's nightmare in the fifth grade, Harry deeply felt how sensible it is for the headmaster to refuse the people's request to be the Minister of Magic.

"Harry, I don't know what you think, but I don't think it's bad," Tom said with a trace of anger in his eyes, "but don't you think it's good, everyone surrenders to you , what you want, there is nothing you can't get, isn't this a very desirable thing?"

"Hehe." Harry seemed to sigh, but he still maintained a gentle smile, "Everyone has a common pursuit, Tom, you have your own ideals, logically speaking, I should support you."

Tom smiled charmingly when Harry said he supported him.

"But, Tom," Harry looked at the handsome boy in front of him, who seemed to overlap with the pale, terrifying face he remembered, "promise me one thing, okay?"

"what's up?"

"When one day you realize your wish and realize your ideal," when one day you become famous..."Don't tell others that I have been your teacher for two years."

Tom Riddle has a similar experience to him, the same being excluded, the same unwelcome, and the same being considered a weirdo. He has sympathy for him, so he treats him equally, so he ignores him Afterwards, tell yourself that before leaving Hogwarts, the other party was just a good student with excellent grades but not gregarious.

Once he becomes famous...

Voldemort, absolutely does not deserve anyone's sympathy.

Even though, maybe when Tom became Voldemort, he had already left this space, but he still didn't want to have any intersection with the "Voldemort" of this space.

Tom, when you become Voldemort, I don't bother to be your teacher anymore.

Tom, who was originally smiling because of Harry's encouragement, turned extremely ugly after Harry finished saying this.

"Why?" he asked sullenly.

"No reason, Tom, you just have to remember the request."

"What if I say no."

"Then it's up to me to deny that I once had a student like you."

"you……"

Harry walked forward a little depressed. After getting along with Tom these days, he knew that Tom was really a good student, studious and smart, and his behavior was impeccable. He really treated him as a student up.

But it wasn't until Grindelwald's appearance today, until today when he saw Tom's eyes that he admired him, and when he heard Tom's plan, he realized that after all, that studious and smart student only existed in Hogwarts.

Leaving Hogwarts, he will go on a road that no one can imagine.

"I don't understand." Tom suddenly grabbed Harry, held his hand tightly, and looked at him fiercely, "I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, why you want to ask me so."

"You're not wrong, Tom." Harry looked at him mildly, not frightened by Tom's expression, "It's just that I don't want to get involved with someone who is too powerful, that's all... um..."

The unfinished words came to an abrupt end, and Harry's eyes widened due to the sudden tight lips. Now, he was the one who was shocked.

Tom just circled him and kissed his lips with no escape.

Harry was terrified by the punishing kiss, and what frightened him even more was that no matter what method he tried at the moment, he couldn't push Tom away.

It wasn't until Harry was almost suffocating that Tom let him go.

"Don't try to get rid of me, this will never happen." Seeing Harry's shocked look, Tom swore viciously.

This was the first time Harry saw such a vicious Tom, but he found himself unable to say anything in such a situation.

Harry looked at Tom, who was visibly enraged, moved his lips, but finally couldn't say anything.

Then, just when Tom thought he was recovering, Harry pushed Tom away immediately, without even remembering the apparation, just using his feet, and fled in front of Tom.

Tom looked at Harry's back, his eyes flickered, and the hands hanging beside him slowly clenched...
