Mentor and Friends

When Tom Yoyo woke up, he met Abraxas' ice blue eyes.

"How do you feel, Tom?" Abraxas asked with a smile.

"What's wrong with me?" Tom frowned.

"Suddenly lost consciousness, we thought it was caused by some experiment you did, so we didn't dare to send you to the medical wing, so we went to find Professor Harry." No one in Slytherin didn't know that their head of the house likes leisure They also thought it was because of the experiment. "You were in a coma for three days," Abraxas added.

In this world, wizards still maintain a defensive attitude towards black magic. If Tom is sent to the medical wing, I am afraid that the principal and their professor of transfiguration will know about it, so it is better to conceal it as much as possible. .

"We tried various methods before, but you seemed to be suffocating. In order for you to wake up, we still went to find Professor Harry."

"Why him?" Tom frowned.

"Because Professor Slughorn is not here. We can only find Professor Harry." Abraxas said helplessly, "Although he refused to tell us what happened to you, it is obvious that he can cure you .”

"Wait, where is it?" Tom realized that he was not in his dormitory at this time.

"Cell, the professor insisted that you can't stay in the dormitory, so I followed you here."

Tom fell silent, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He wasn't doing an experiment before he fell into a coma, he knew it very well.

He could not pass out because he felt a pain deep in his soul.

But he didn't plan to tell his friends about it.

If he guessed right, what caused him to become unconscious should be the sequelae of making the Horcrux. Since he made the Horcrux, he has often experienced such a situation, and it has become more and more serious every time.

The information he got did not say such a situation!

Tom lowered his head, hiding some anxiety in his eyes.

The reason why he chose to take the risk of making a Horcrux was to fly away from death, not to let himself meet Merlin in advance.It seems that we need to find some time to study the Horcruxes carefully.

"However, after all, you have been in a coma for several days. Some things cannot be hidden in the school. As far as I know, the headmaster has already asked about your situation, but Professor Harry insisted that you just need to rest. I rejected the principal's suggestion to send you to the medical wing." Abraxas continued.

"You mean, he's helping me?" Tom looked at the closed door with a complicated expression.

"Isn't it?" Abraxas chuckled, "I can guarantee that as long as you are sent to the medical wing, your situation will spread among the professors within half a day." The image of a well-behaved student will also be broken.

"..." Tom looked at Abraxas without speaking.

"Tom, our new headmaster, knows us Slytherin out of our expectation, doesn't he?" Abraxas said leisurely, "I have a hunch that if we think he is a weak bone and take it lightly, then it is very likely that we will end up We are the losers."

"Just because of this incident, changed your opinion of him?" Tom was a little surprised, "It's really surprising."

"It's not that I've changed my opinion of him, but I think that maybe we should improve our definition of him." Tom shrugged noncommittally.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Harry, with a mess of hair, came in, followed by Ron, who didn't look very good.

"Are you awake?" Harry seemed relieved when he saw that he was awake, at least Tom saw the corners of his mouth raised a little bit, "How do you feel?"

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a professor who cares about his students, but Tom just doesn't feel right there.

"Tom?" Harry called out in confusion when he realized that Tom was in a daze.

"I'm fine, Professor." Tom responded quickly, and he answered Harry with his usual smile.

Harry looked at him for a moment, and that look made Tom feel uncomfortable.

Those calm eyes seemed to see through all his disguises, looking straight at the him buried deep in his heart.

That... For power, for others' submission, for flying away from death, for him who is full of greed.

"Then you should go back." Harry immediately smiled gently, "If the head of the academy doesn't appear in front of people, they should break open the door of the cellar."

"Oh, professor, are you sure you're talking about Slytherin students?" Abraxas said incredulously with an aria from the side, "Are you sure this isn't something impulsive Gryffindors can do? "

"Oh, well, maybe," Harry smiled understandingly, and did not show any dissatisfaction, although everyone in Hogwarts could see that although Professor Harry was the dean of Slytherin, he was very happy. Obviously he gets along better with Gryffindor, "But now, in order to avoid the Slytherins acting like Gryffindor, you should hurry up and appear in front of people, you must know that the prefects have asked me a lot This is your situation."

Of course, those people were all asking him metaphorically, and he fooled him with a haha.

"Well, thank you, Professor." Tom smirked as usual.

"You're welcome," Harry handed over a bottle of potion, "Next time you practice the experiments in the book, remember to be more careful. Although completing the thesis is important, you are also important."

Tom didn't know why, but he still took the potion and left with Abraxas.

"The professor announced to the public that in order to write a thesis on Defense Against the Dark Arts, you practiced some of the things in the book...students should not touch. As a result, you fell into a coma, which is why he justifiably left you in the cellar It's not the reason for sending you to the medical wing, after all, your accident happened because of the Defense Against the Dark Arts paper." Abraxas and Tom walked in the corridor, explaining softly, "That's why he has a reason to send you to the medical wing." Professor Slughorn will help you brew the potion without arousing any suspicion."

Tom smiled indifferently, and his eyes were full of deep thoughts that were completely opposite to casualness.

Abraxas was reminding him, isn't that professor as innocent as he showed?

In the cellar, Ron slumped on the sofa.

Merlin knew that during the three days that Tom Riddle lived here, he didn't sleep well at all.

"Harry, I don't understand," he looked at Harry pitifully, with a mournful expression on his face, "why do you help him, wouldn't it be good to let him go to the medical wing?"

"Ron, Tom's soul is unstable because of making Horcruxes," said Harry. "If we don't help, there is a good chance that his Horcruxes will be exposed."

Obviously, Ron's ability to accept "Tom" is better than the word "Voldemort", but when he thinks of Horcruxes, he still can't help trembling. He has seen the horror of Horcruxes. When he fled in the seventh grade, he The locket he was carrying almost made him and Harry really fall out.

"You know... he's starting to become Vol... Voldemort, and you're still close to him." Ron jumped up from the sofa.

"So, Ron, what do you want me to do? Kill Tom?" Harry looked at Ron sadly, "Kill him, and there won't be another 'Voldemort' in this space. We have This ability, but if I really do this, wouldn't it be the same as when Voldemort brutally killed my parents?"

Ron remained silent, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer Harry's question.

In all fairness, Tom is the hardest-working student he has ever seen besides Hermione. He is a well-deserved Slytherin, elegant and humble, gentle and polite. Leitlin's position in power, he not only relied on his own talent, but also relied on his own hard work.

Such a person, no one can deny him.

but……

However, this person will be Voldemort... It will be the "mysterious man" who brought countless disasters to the wizarding world, broke up many families, and cast the fear of death on the wizarding world.

If you kill him at this time, then this dimension will not suffer the same grief as theirs, but...

"He's just a child, even a minor." Harry seemed to see through Ron's thoughts, and murmured in a low voice, "Ron, in the war, we have to deal with some werewolves who have been bitten by werewolves and turned into werewolves." Let the child do it, we can convince ourselves that war requires sacrifice, so now, what reason do we have to take Tom's life? To prevent the next Voldemort from appearing in this world?"

At least, it's not their turn to judge Tom's crime now.

"He's just a kid trying to make his dreams come true," Harry said softly. "Ron, what do we do with him?"

Ron lowered his head and didn't speak. He himself didn't know how to treat the child who was younger than them and who had been working hard no matter what he did.

"I don't know, Harry," he said, a little depressed, "and I don't know either."

"Me too, I don't know how to treat him," Harry sighed, "but you know, from the past, after learning about his past, I feel that I am similar to Tom in many ways, even Dumbledore Principal Lido didn't deny this at the beginning," Harry said, "so sometimes when I didn't even realize it, my guard just let it go."

"Like this time?" Ron looked up from the sofa and glanced at Harry.

"Who says it's not?" Harry sighed, "Let's find a way to go back sooner. If this continues, I always feel that something will happen..."

And Harry had a hunch he wouldn't like that.
