Chapter 603: Tom in school days; Ginny became a time bomb?

"Is this a Horcrux? There really is a very evil power out there."

Observing the direction of magic power was something that the real professors at Hogwarts could do with some effort. And with their life experience and experience, it was not difficult for them to tell whether a magic item still had evil power.

Especially if you already know the answer.

"So everyone, what do you think about how to deal with the Horcruxes?"

After several professors had looked at the Horcruxes, Dumbledore asked.

"Of course it should be destroyed. Such evil things should not exist in the world."

Professor McGonagall said immediately.

Her attitude was very firm. This Horcrux had threatened the students of her college, which she absolutely could not tolerate. And even if it did not harm the students, Professor McGonagall would not change her mind about this matter.

Other professors expressed their opinions one after another, all of which were supportive.

Only Snape was silent when it was his turn.

"Severus?"

Professor Dumbledore called out to him, and the other professors looked over to him.

"Horcruxes should be destroyed."

Snape said, "I was wondering if we could ask for some important information before destroying him? Since Voldemort has already made a Horcrux, given his character, he would definitely not just make this one. You said before that Zhou Ming has another Horcrux, so can we infer that Voldemort has far more Horcruxes than we imagined?

It contains a fragment of his soul and part of his memory. If we can get important information from it, it may be able to deal a great blow to Voldemort's arrogance."

This is not unreasonable, as it is indeed possible, but the fact is impossible, because it can be basically confirmed that the diary is the earliest Horcrux made by Voldemort, and it was made when he was still a student at Hogwarts.

The soul fragments within the Horcrux only have the memory of the original body when the Horcrux was created, and the Horcrux has no idea what the original body is doing afterwards.

But he won't say that out loud, he'll let the professors decide for themselves.

"I think it's okay."

Professor Flitwick was the first to express his support.

"With so many of us here, Voldemort can't get away."

Professor Sprout said nothing, but she nodded in agreement.

Finally, only Professor McGonagall was left.

"Don't look at me. If you decide to do this, I will support you, but if you ask me for my opinion, I am against it! This is too dangerous. We don't need to take this risk."

“But it’s worth it.”

Dumbledore said, then he glanced at Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming nodded, walked forward, and tapped the diary lightly with his wand.

Then, the diary opened automatically, and a black gas emerged from it, and soon turned into a younger Voldemort.

Oh, no, it should be Tom.

But this Tom was much more ferocious than the previous Tom. As soon as he appeared, he had a stern face and looked at Zhou Ming who was so close to him with an expressionless face.

"Welcome back, Senior Tom, come and meet the professors."

He made an inviting gesture and then took the initiative to make way.

Tom looked at the group of strangers in front of him with a cold face.

"Hello, Dumbledore and Miss McGonagall."

After a long while, Voldemort finally regained his elegance and revealed a very sunny smile.

Apparently, of the people present, he only knew Dumbledore and McGonagall.

Of course, he had controlled Ginny for so long, so he naturally knew about it to the other professors, even Zhou Ming.

After all, he has awakened, and even if he is hiding in the diary, he can still see what is happening around him.

He just couldn't resist, which made him a little unhappy.

"Hello, Tom. Long time no see."

Dumbledore smiled.

Mag simply said nothing.

She was considered Voldemort's senior. When Tom entered the first grade, she was just about to graduate from the seventh grade.

If we were to say who was Tom's teacher back then, Dumbledore would be one of them. He was the professor of Transfiguration, which is Professor McGonagall's current position.

At that time, the headmaster of Hogwarts was Professor Armando Dippet, and it was he who rejected Voldemort's wish to become a professor after graduation and asked him to come back two years later.

The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at that time was Galatea Mellors, who later began to prepare for retirement when Voldemort was about to graduate.

The Potions Professor is Horace Slughorn, the one who told Voldemort the information about the Horcruxes. Of course, this cannot be blamed on him. After all, facing such an outstanding student like Voldemort, how many professors can completely reject him?
Moreover, Horace probably did not expect Voldemort to actually create Horcruxes at that time. Even if he had expected it, he could never have expected Voldemort to create so many Horcruxes, cause so much killing in the wizarding world, and eventually completely transform from Tom Liddell into the Dark Lord Voldemort.

In the original book, this Horace will later come to Hogwarts to teach. He has a characteristic, which is that he particularly likes to make friends with talented students or students with superior family backgrounds. He is a person with a particularly strong utilitarianism.

Transfiguration goes without saying.

Herbology is taught by Professor Herbert Beery, History of Magic is taught by Professor Binns, and Care of Magical Creatures is taught by Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn.

This was basically the situation of the faculty at Hogwarts back then.

In addition, there was another person present who was about the same age as Tom, that was Professor Sprout, but she was older than Professor McGonagall, so when Tom enrolled, she had already graduated, and he just missed her.

Far away.

Back to the topic.

After looking around, Tom's eyes fell on Dumbledore again.

"I never thought that we would meet in this way, Professor Dumbledore."

"Yes, I still remember the scene when I went to the orphanage to pick you up for school. I didn't expect that after so many years, when I saw you again, I could only see a wisp of your residual soul."

Dumbledore sighed.

When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past.

The period when he was most familiar with Tom happened to be the years when Tom was still in Hogwarts, which was also the time when this remnant soul lived.

At that time, Tom was so outstanding and loved by everyone. Although Dumbledore vaguely sensed the darkness in his heart, he insisted that Tom could be changed through education.

Unfortunately, he made the biggest mistake, which was that Tom entered Slytherin College. If Tom could enter Gryffindor, his college, then he might have the ability to further influence Tom, even if he couldn't turn him into someone like Harry, at least he wouldn't turn him into Voldemort.

Unfortunately, the environment within Slytherin gradually shaped Tom into what he became later.

"Isn't this great? Only in this way will I not scare you, right? What can a mere Horcrux do in front of a wizard like you?"

"In fact, you can't do anything even if you stand in front of me in person."

Dumbledore shook his head. "Well, let's get to the point, Tom. I want to know the whereabouts of the other Horcruxes. Can you tell me the information you have?"

"Hehe, do you think I would say that?"

Tom had his hands behind his back, showing no fear of impending death. Or was he just giving up because he knew he was going to die?
"Perhaps you will change your mind?"

Dumbledore said.

Tom shook his head.

"Dumbledore, you are really old and confused. The purpose of my making Horcruxes is to avoid death. If I tell you the information of other Horcruxes, won't my plan fail? I'm not that stupid.

Besides, you don't have to waste your energy on me. I'm not afraid to tell you directly where the other Horcruxes are, how many there are, and what they are. I don't know anything about them because I am the first Horcrux. I only know that I have the idea of ​​making more Horcruxes, and I don't know anything about the others."

Tom sneered.

Dumbledore looked at him, then nodded after a moment.

"Actually, I guessed it because you are so young, much more immature than the other you."

"Another me? You found another Horcrux?"

Tom keenly caught the important information in Dumbledore's words and asked.

"Yes, Tom, we, no, to be precise, it was classmate Zhou Ming who found the Ravenclaw's Diadem in the Requirement-Granting, and you made it into a Horcrux."

"..."

"So I can boldly guess that you must have set your sights on the relics of the four founders, right? Ravenclaw's diadem, Hufflepuff's gold cup, Slytherin's pendant, and Gryffindor's sword. It's just that the sword has been kept by me personally, so you have no chance to get close to it.

I've looked into it, and the Hufflepuff cup and Slytherin pendant are now missing, just like the diadem.

So next, I will do everything I can to find these Horcruxes, Tom, your plan will not succeed."

Dumbledore said in a calm tone.

Tom looked at him expressionlessly, then nodded after a moment.

"It turns out to be the Dumbledore I know. You guessed right. I do have the idea of ​​using the founder's relics to make Horcruxes. This idea has been in my mind for a long time. If nothing unexpected happens, I will do so in the future.

So, next is your direct confrontation with him. Will you be able to find all the Horcruxes and destroy them first? Or will he be the first to be resurrected with the help of the Horcruxes? To be honest, I am looking forward to it. "

After saying that, he turned and looked at Zhou Ming.

"The little wizard from the East is indeed very good. You know, the name that stupid girl mentions the most every day, besides Harry Potter, is your name.

She regarded you as her idol and hoped to become as good as you. Guess what I told her? I told her that if she listened to me and trained according to my method, she would become as good as you.

That stupid girl actually believed it, hahahaha, what a brainless idiot, the Weasley family is as stupid as ever. What a pity, what a pity, I was discovered so early, otherwise I really want to see what kind of trouble a dark wizard trained by me can cause in Hogwarts. "

Tom sneered.

"Wait, what did you say? You nurtured her? You didn't absorb her life force?"

Zhou Ming asked.

"Absorb her life force? Well, I thought about it at first, but then I changed my mind. Life force can also be absorbed from other people. Or I can ask her to bring me some small animals like mice. As long as there are enough of them, there will be no problem."

The smile on Tom's face grew more smug.

"Then why did she look so pale before..."

"Oh, that's the result of me controlling her to learn black magic. The black magic affected her body. She probably doesn't feel very comfortable. But it doesn't matter. She also gained a lot of benefits anyway, such as strong magic resistance."

This time, even Professor McGonagall's expression changed.

"Tom, what have you done to her!"

She took a step forward and asked sternly.

"What did you do? Let me think about it, actually, I didn't do anything. It was just a simple Imperius Curse, plus a simple psychological suggestion. Well, the content is that if someone tries to make her unconscious, she will actively cooperate with the other party.

Then he woke up after being sent to the infirmary and began to cast the Killing Curse indiscriminately."

Tom's smile didn't change at all, but a chill ran down everyone's back.

"Dumbledore!"

McGonagall quickly looked at Professor Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded and was about to look towards Fawkes.

Just then, Zhou Ming spoke.

"As expected of the Dark Lord, you are really good at plotting. I was almost fooled by you. Fortunately, there is someone who knows you very well by my side. He guessed that you might take the risk."

"Someone who knows me? Who?"

"The diadem of Ravenclaw."

Zhou Ming said with a smile.

When chatting with Tom in the crown before, the 30-year-old Tom made a prediction. Based on his understanding of himself, he speculated that the Tom in the diary would definitely make preparations for both situations.

First of all, the Imperius Curse must be cast. There is no need to forcibly control Ginny's will, but it is enough to be able to influence her. For young people whose minds are not mature enough, the success rate of this trick is almost 100%.

If the resurrection plan goes well, Tom will completely drain Ginny's vitality and resurrect himself.

If the plan does not go smoothly, he will definitely use Ginny as a time bomb to destroy the environment of Hogwarts and create opportunities for his original body.

This was Tom's usual tactic when he was young, because at that time his strength was not particularly strong and there were many people who could defeat him.

Later, as he became stronger, he no longer bothered to use such means.

Tom's face gradually darkened when he heard this.

"Professor McGonagall, please rest assured. Cynthia has already gone to the infirmary. With her here, Ginny and the others will be fine."

Zhou Ming said with a smile.
