Chapter 625: The Chance to Change the Past
Chapter 625 The chance to change the past
Dumbledore continued, "What magic can do is not just destruction, it can even be said that destruction is the most trivial and least valuable part of magic. Apart from being used to intimidate others, it is difficult for destruction to bring about real things. ."
"Having some special powers can give Tom Riddle great privileges in the orphanage, but he didn't think about being gregarious, and he didn't think about helping others. He chose a relationship of isolation and hostility from others from the beginning, He bullies people he doesn't like and steals their stuff."
George nodded, convinced that magic wasn't meant to undermine this. The most powerful original in the Muggle world, the power of these weapons far exceeds the power of magic.
But these terrible weapons, other than being used to scare everyone and let them know that the entire planet can be razed to the ground in human wars, will bring nothing meaningful.
In contrast, those magics that are truly valuable are healing diseases, prolonging life, changing lives, and creating light.
And the lowest level of devastation, other than setting the wizarding world and Ming as a whole, would have no beneficial effect.
Dumbledore continued, "Tom Riddle was already very confident, very shrewd, and obviously he didn't have a friend."
"He went to Diagon Alley by himself, without the help or company of others. He was willing to do everything by himself. Riddle refused to let me accompany him to Diagon Alley, and I also warned him not to continue stealing after entering the school."
"Looking at it now, Riddle's character hasn't really changed that much. It's the same with Voldemort as an adult. He doesn't need friends. You'll hear many Death Eaters claiming that they have his trust and that Claiming that only they could approach him or even understand him."
"Actually they were all fooled. Voldemort never had a friend and never needed a friend."
"This is where Voldemort is completely different from us. We all need friends, and we long for those close and friendly relationships." Dumbledore seemed to think of something, with a trance on his face.
He regained his senses quickly, and continued, "The new school year has begun, bringing Tom Riddle, a quiet boy in a second-hand robe, lining up with the other freshmen for the sorting ceremony. The Sorting Hat is almost a touch. Because of his head, he was assigned to Slytherin Academy." (Quick wear) The heroine, the hero is cannon fodder
"Maybe it was that night that he learned about the founder of Slytherin, who is also a Parseltongue, and the news must have excited him,
Make him more conceited. "
Dumbledore looked at George and said slowly, "He was also the best student in the history of Hogwarts, and Voldemort at that time was somewhat similar to you, which made me, in the past few years, always It is inconvenient to contact you more."
"Voldemort was terribly talented, handsome, and an orphan who easily attracted the attention and sympathy of his faculty. There was no arrogance or aggression in his appearance. He seemed polite, quiet, and hungry for knowledge. Almost all Everyone has a good impression of him.”
Dumbledore smiled lightly, "Just like watching you secretly, I am also secretly watching Voldemort. I didn't find much at first, he was very wary of me, he was very keen, and could sense that I was on him. beware."
"He carefully covered himself up and didn't expose more things in front of me. But he was not comfortable with being ordinary, he had great ambitions, and he was constantly exerting his influence in the school."
Although Dumbledore didn't say anything, George understood that his own growth process was very similar to Voldemort's. The only difference is that Voldemort is using other people to achieve his ambitions.
The process of George's rapid growth was actually in a shorter period of time, taking the same path that Voldemort and Dumbledore took.
It was with this experience that he was able to step on the shoulders of Voldemort and Dumbledore and have a stronger and broader magical path.
Dumbledore continued, "During his school years, he surrounded himself with a group of die-hard minions, and I say that for lack of a better word, but as I've already mentioned, Riddle certainly had no affection for them. ."
"These people form a kind of dark force in the castle. They have a complex composition, the weak seek refuge, the careerists want to gain some prestige, and the cruel by nature, attracted by a leader who can teach them a higher form of cruelty." Exclusive sweet love: the second sweet wife is too popular
"In other words, they were the predecessors of the Death Eaters, and some really became the first Death Eaters after leaving Hogwarts."
Dumbledore lowered his head, "At that time, I was in my own predicament, and I ignored a lot of Riddle's attention."
"Riddle had a tight grip on his men, the gang was never caught openly doing bad things, and although they had a lot of mischief at Hogwarts during their seven years at school, none of them could conclusively get up with them. The most serious one was of course the opening of the secret room, which resulted in the death of a girl."
"If I had put more focus on this, I could have prevented this from happening." Dumbledore glanced up at George with a guilty tone, "Like you stopped the basilisk, if I With a little more thought, Ken, I know I can stop this."
George naturally believed Dumbledore's statement, and Riddle was just a brilliant student after all. Even if his strength at that time was close to that of an ordinary teacher, it was definitely not comparable to Dumbledore, who had already stood at the top of the magic world.
George even suspected that Dumbledore at that time was stronger than he was after taking over at Hogwarts.
After all, Dumbledore was in his prime at the time, and he was still at the height of his ambition. After taking over at Hogwarts, Dumbledore has lost his ambition, and even lost the wizard's motivation to move forward.
After Dumbledore suffered a heavy blow, he never made further progress, either in strength or academics, and even regressed.
At that time, Dumbledore would at least be able to capture Riddle and send him to Azkaban if he only needed a little more thought.
After all, as long as Dumbledore is willing, whether it is Veritaserum or Legilimency, not only Riddle, who is only the teacher, can resist.
"In the years since, I have been following Riddle out of guilt for the deceased student, and I have begun to investigate him more."
