Mentor and Friends

Tom stood before the mirror and looked him in the eyes without saying a word.

If Harry had installed a magic mirror here, maybe that mirror would have made all the fuss, but since Harry didn't really like that kind of mirror, there wasn't one in this room.

So Tom stood silently before the mirror for a long time, never moving.

these eyes...

That day, he worked hard for several days in Germany, and when he saw his second Horcrux was about to succeed, he didn’t know which solution had a problem, and the split soul resisted forcibly, unable to enter the cup .

And that failure exhausted his magic power.

Afterwards, when he woke up from the coma and walked into the bathroom and accidentally saw the mirror, he realized that his eyes were different.

It was a pair of eyes that frightened him a little at first glance, the bright red pupils seemed to spread to his eye sockets in the next second, it was frighteningly red.

He held his eyes for a long while and remained silent.

But he knew what was going on.

The exhaustion of magic power stimulated the blood magic power hidden in his body to support his weak body, so that the magic power could be continuously supplied.

If the ancient blood in his body hadn't been awakened at a critical moment, and he had just created some magic power from the magic core that had no magic power, maybe when he woke up, he would have become a squib.

When he first saw these eyes, he was really a little flustered. After all, he succeeded in making the Horcrux for the first time, but for some reason, he failed the second time.

And it was accompanied by mana consumption and pupil changes.

However, such pupils were not the same later on, and his magic power slowly recovered afterwards.

He checked a lot of information, but because the books he brought from Germany were limited, and he didn't know the situation in this regard, so he went to the black wizard trading street in Germany.

But it was Germany after all, and although he could find books about Horcruxes, he couldn't solve his doubts about the changes in his eyes.

Later, Nagini asked him suspiciously why he was so nervous about his eyes.

He was silent for a while, and probably explained to Nagini that his eyes were originally black, but they suddenly changed color, and he was a little worried.

Nagini uttered snake letters and asked him naively: [But Tom, your eyes sometimes turned red before. 】

Tom was stunned for a moment, and asked Nagini with some doubts: 【Have you ever seen my eyes change color? 】

[Well, many times,] Nagini said flatly, [just not as long as this time. 】

Tom himself didn't look in the mirror often, so of course he didn't know about his own changes. From Nagini's words, he got the following information: his eyes didn't change suddenly, but had such a situation before.

During his return to China, his eyes slowly returned to normal.

After he returned to England, he went to Diagon Alley to find information about his family, and even, about his ancestors.

He later found records about the dark wizard Salazar Slytherin.

Regarding this black wizard who murdered so much but made great contributions to the wizarding world, various versions of books have mixed reviews, some highlight his achievements in building a school, and some criticize his murderous ruthlessness.

Tom didn't care about that at all.

He only cares about almost all the books, and only talks about the few records.

According to legend, the entire family of Salazar Slytherin has the blood of magical creatures. They can speak the language of snakes, and the ability to pass on this supernatural bloodline is the best proof-thousands of years ago, the language of those creatures was not difficult to learn , but no family can pass as heredity.

According to legend, Salazar Slytherin's pupils are red, and his pupils are the only ones in the family that can switch between black and red.

He hardly read the rest of it.

Black and red pupil color switching...

Red pupils... a symbol of blood, another condition to prove that he is a descendant of Slytherin.

Tom returned home with a heavy heart, but after finding out his current situation, he almost went to Godric's Valley with a bright smile.

Although it was unsuccessful this time, it was a good thing that the blood was awakened by a blessing in disguise.

At this time, Harry didn't know that Tom's blood had awakened.

He walked downstairs in a daze. Ron didn't follow him up at that time. Seeing him coming down with a strange expression, he stood up with some worry: "Harry..." Ron looked at Harry cautiously, "Is it possible, really?" problem occurs?"

"Voldemort's pupils..." Harry closed his eyes wearily, "Tom's eyes turned red."

"Red." Ron almost jumped up, "Didn't it mean that after making several 'that's, he gradually became irrational, and even had problems with his whole body?"

"I don't know, Ron." Harry closed his eyes, looking a little pained, "I just saw Hufflepuff's cup, do you know what that means?"

What does it mean?

Of course Ron knew.

Tom Riddle couldn't have gotten the mug so early, and the mug shouldn't have been found in Germany.

He should be found by Tom when he was working as a handyman in various places during the two years after graduation.

But now, he appeared upstairs, right in front of Harry, and even... Even the cup was faintly emitting magical fluctuations.

"He didn't make a Horcrux." Harry said affirmatively, "That's not the same as the magic wave of a Horcrux. It still looks like a dead thing, and it doesn't carry anything. I guess it should be Tom who made the Horcrux this time." Failed."

"Failure?" Ron frowned, "but he succeeded the first time." Logically speaking, there shouldn't be a situation where he succeeded the first time but failed the second time.

"I'm sure he made a diary, but the cup, I'm sure he's dead. Tom hasn't made a Horcrux yet, I'm sure of that." Harry took a deep breath, "But he His eyes have changed, Ron, I don't know what the sign is, logically speaking, even if Tom succeeded two or three times in the early stage, such a change is impossible."

The red pupils made him want to pull out his wand the moment he saw them.

It's so similar, it's too similar to that madman who delusional to control the entire magic world.

Fortunately, the warmth and clarity in the red eyeballs that were different from those of Voldemort prevented him from pulling out his wand. He was stunned for a long time before he managed to tell himself that it was Tom, his student, and not by killing people. For the fun of the brainless Dark Lord.

He managed to convince himself, and then treated Tom as gently as ever.

But when he saw the cup, he was really stunned.

He's just Tom, just your student...but he's turning into the madman you remember him as.

Another voice kept torturing himself in his head, and then, at Tom's questioning sight, Harry almost ran away.

"Ron." Harry sighed wearily, "I suddenly didn't know I wanted to do this."

Could he kill Tom now?

No, he couldn't, he couldn't kill Tom in the name of peace, and in that case, what's the difference from Voldemort destroying his parents after hearing the prophecy?

Moreover, the relationship in this year, nothing else, just said that he and Tom have been together for so long, and they have long been in love. They are both teachers and friends. Watch him destroy himself.

"Ron, if...I mean if," Harry took a deep breath, "if I want to help Tom, tell me, what are the chances that I will be shot to death by Hermione after I go back?"

Ron didn't seem surprised by Du Yu Harry's decision, but he still pretended to think about it, and then said: "According to Hermione's personality, the chance of her shooting you to death is actually not very high."

Harry looked at him suspiciously, how could Hermione let him go so easily?

"However," Ron paused, looking at Harry with a serious face, "the chances of you being read to death by her are very high, and it is very likely that she will spend a month or two, or even a whole year, Telling you to do this is wrong, it is very stupid, and it is very likely to change the history of this space, in short, she has herself to read you to death."

Harry was silent for a while, thinking of the girl who usually broke the school rules with them but also bombarded them with all kinds of reasons, Harry could almost hear her screaming in horror: "Harry, what are you doing?" What, how can you meddle in those things, what if you are impacted by history and judged by 'time' to disappear, if something happens to you, you can't do this well, don't be so scary, if you can't come back It's..."

He could almost guess how the girl cried out of panic at the end.

Since she was a child, she has worried too much for him and Ron.

but……

"Don't tell her...isn't it all right?" Harry was silent for a while, staring at Ron with burning eyes, "You said... right?"

If Hermione didn't know, she wouldn't be worried, would she?

Ron was horrified by Harry's gaze. In order to escape from such gaze, he nodded hastily: "Dude, I will support you whatever you want to do." As long as you don't attack me.

That night, after Tom tidied himself up and confirmed that his eyes were fine, he went downstairs naturally.

Of course, the first moment he went downstairs, he went to look for Harry's shadow.

Harry was directing Ron to serve the dishes, and when he saw Tom coming down, he smiled and asked him to eat.

As if... the person who ran away in panic before was not him.

"Tom." At the dining table, Harry looked at the dishes on the table and called softly.

Tom swallowed his food and looked at him wordlessly.

"I've made up my mind," Harry smiled gently at him, "I'll be your advisor."
