Chapter 1077: Departure (Come on for the college entrance examination)
"Did he gather these people right under your nose, Professor?"
"Yes, right under my nose!"
Evan sighed again, Tom Riddle was terrible when he was a student. It's not easy for them to form a D.A. www.biquge.info but look at what they were doing when they were students, forming a dark force under Dumbledore's nose and encircling the Death Eaters to form a real army.
From this point of view, Evan is not as good as him.
In fact, strictly speaking, if it weren't for Riddle's diary, Evan wouldn't be where he is now.
Most of the first part of the magical knowledge was taught to him by Voldemort when he was a student.
There are a lot of them, and Evan is using them now......
Suffice it to say, without Voldemort, there would be no Evan today.
If he had relied on himself to learn and master those profound knowledge, I am afraid that he would still be struggling with those magic books.
Whether you can comprehend and summarize it, I still have to say.
Of course, if it weren't for Voldemort, Evan would have been happy to spend the past few years at Hogwarts, coping with classwork, learning some simple magic, and dating Hermione every day like Colin, Ron, and Neville......
Come to think of it this way, this kind of world without Voldemort is actually pretty good, isn't it?
"As I said earlier, he was on my guard, and he was wise, and he didn't try to confuse me like so many of his colleagues who tried to confuse me, and he told him that he was determined to be a man again, and I chose to give him this opportunity. Dumbledore said, as if to see what Evan was thinking, "I have to admit that for a while, I was indeed deceived by him, Riddle had gathered a lot of followers in the school, but he kept a tight grip on them, and the gang had never been found to have done anything bad openly, and although there had been many vicious incidents at Hogwarts during their seven years at school, none of them could be conclusively linked to them." The most serious case was, of course, the opening of the secret room, which resulted in the death of a female student. You know, Hagrid was wronged for this case. ”
"So, unfortunately, although he used to be my student, I didn't find much memory of Riddle at Hogwarts, not much useful stuff. Dumbledore said, "Few people who knew him at the time wanted to talk about him, they were too scared." What I know now is that after he left Hogwarts, he had gone to great lengths to find out who could be led to talk, to look up old records, to ask Muggles and wizards. ”
Voldemort's horror lies not in his strength, but in his demagogic abilities and the ingenuity that can blind Dumbledore.
When he gave up on these in favor of pure power, it became less terrifying!
At the very least, he has the possibility of being defeated, and although he is strong and not dead, he has a fatal weakness.
"Those who are willing to recall me tell me that Riddle is fascinated by his origins. Of course, this is understandable, he grew up in an orphanage, so it is natural to wonder how he got there. It appears that he had searched for Tom Riddle Sr. in the prize room, in the prefect list of the school's old records, and even in the history of magic books, but found nothing, and was finally forced to admit that his father had never been to Hogwarts. I believe it was then that he abandoned the name and changed his name to Voldemort's, and began to investigate the family history of his mother, whom he had previously despised, and we will not look at this memory for the time being, but I can tell you unequivocally that he thought that the woman, having succumbed to death, the shameful weakness of man, could not have been a wizard. ”
His only clue was the name Marvolo, which he learned from the orphanage administrator that it was his maternal grandfather's name. After a painstaking search of old books and wizarding families, he finally found the remnants of the Slytherin family. In the summer of fifteen, he left the orphanage, to which he had to return every year, to look for his relatives in the Gaunt family. As I said earlier, that place had a special meaning for him, it was once the place of his dreams, but also the place where his dreams were shattered. ”
"So, he hid that ring in that house?" Evan asked again.
"Yes, at least I think so!" replied Dumbledore affirmatively, "that's where I'm going. ”
He waved his wand, and the meditation basin on the table and the two crystal bottles containing the memories were all gone.
"It's almost time, we're going to have to leave after dark, and I think since the Ministry of Magic is looking for us, we'd better act like we're wanted. Dumbledore said, pausing, "Oh, by the way, since that ring is now a Horcrux, I think we'd better bring a weapon." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a flash of golden light, and Phoenix Fawkes appeared in the sky above the living room, wearing the tattered Sorting Hat.
It circled, dropping the Sorting Hat into Aven's arms.
"Oh, Fawkes got it!" Dumbledore said, "Please take it, Avan, and we'll go now." ”
The real Gryffindor can get the Gryffindor's sword from the Sorting Hat, and that's their weapon.
Evan hurriedly tucked the Sorting Hat into his arms, his right hand holding Dumbledore's outstretched left.
Dumbledore's right hand grabbed Fawkes, and another flash of golden light flashed as they disappeared from the living room!
Seconds later, the two of them appeared out of thin air on a country road.
Fawkes let out a low chirp and flew off into the distance, shedding bits of golden light before disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The night breeze blew slowly, and the thick clouds in the sky obscured the stars, and in front of them was little Hangleton.
It was similar to what Ogden remembered, but many of the houses in the village had been renovated and the layout had changed.
Only Riddle House stands quietly on the hillside in the distance, just as it used to be.
It was now ruined, as if it had been uninhabited for a long time, the windows of the house were sealed, the roof tiles were incomplete, and the creeper crawled all over the house, damp and desolate, like the vanished Riddles, like a terrible haunted house.
"No one in the village dared to come near it, and they were impressed by the murder half a century ago. Dumbledore said, "Alright, let's go to the old mansion of the Gaunt family." Be vigilant, Aven, I don't think Voldemort would leave any magic behind, just the ring there. ”
"Hmm!" Evan nodded, adding, "Be careful, Professor!"
He wasn't worried about himself, but he was afraid that Dumbledore wouldn't be tempted to see the Resurrection Stone for a while......
