Chapter 157 I Am Voldemort

"That's right..." Tom chuckled, his voice was very gentle, just like what Fanlin had always heard in his diary.

"The one who opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago?" Harry exclaimed, "But..."

Harry looked at the gentle boy in front of him uncertainly. Tom Riddle didn't look like a man who went back to kill others. Harry was more willing to believe that Tom was here to help him.

"Are you a ghost?" Fan Lin frowned and asked uncertainly.

"It's a memory," Tom said quietly. "It's been in the diary for fifty years."

He pointed to the floor next to the toes of the statue, where there lay open the small black diary that Fanlin found in Myrtle's toilet.

"Harry, pick up your wand, I think you will need it." Fan Lin looked at Tom.

"Oh, okay!" Harry fumbled quickly, but the wand that was supposed to be at hand disappeared.

"Are you looking for this?"

Harry heard the sound and looked up. Tom was still looking at him - Harry's wand was twirling between his long fingers.

"Why did I come to you..."

A smile came to Tom's lips. He continued to stare at Harry, twirling his wand leisurely.

"Listen, no matter who you are, you are just a soul that has been sealed for fifty years. It is very dangerous here. The basilisk can kill even ghosts again. We have to leave here quickly!" Harry was a little anxious! said.

"It won't come unless someone calls it," Tom said quietly.

Harry lowered Laura back to the ground. He could no longer hold her like this.

"What do you mean? Come on, give me your wand back, I might need it."

Tom's grin widened.

"You won't need it." He smiled.

Harry glared at him.

"What did you say? I don't need-?"

"Harry Potter, I have been waiting for this day for a long time." Tom said, "Waiting for the opportunity to meet you and talk to you."

"Look," Harry lost patience, "I don't think you understand. We are in the Chamber of Secrets. We'll talk about it later."

"What are you waiting for Harry?" Fan Lin's wand was emitting unstable fluctuations. If Tom dared to make any changes, he would definitely give it to Tom without hesitation.

"Don't be so nervous..." Tom chuckled, and he put Harry's wand into his pocket, "I think we need to have a good talk. You are the kid who has been talking to me these days, right? Not to mention the fusion of magic and spells you mentioned is really an interesting thing!"

Fan Lin didn't speak. He didn't know how to proceed, facing the compliments of a murderer.

"You are so boring!" Tom took two steps indifferently. He didn't take Fanlin's wand pointing at him seriously at all.

"Why did Laura become like this?" Harry asked anxiously, he was very worried about Laura's condition.

"Uh-huh, that's an interesting question," Tom said happily. "It's a long story. I think the real reason why Laura Criss became like this is because she opened up her heart to invisible strangers and revealed all her secrets. leaked."

"What are you talking about?" Harry was confused.

"The diary," Tom continued. "My diary, where little Laura kept writing, told me all her poor worries and sorrows: how her classmates hated her, how she faced family members at home who had high hopes for her, as Chris The most talented wizard with the richest bloodline in the family for hundreds of years, but she doesn't like this. For the honor of the family, it's really..." Tom shook his head, he didn't feel anything wrong with Laura.

"She just wants to evade responsibility..."

"She doesn't, Laura has been working hard!" Harry shouted, "She doesn't think like you said!"

"Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact! Of course, there is another disgusting worry, how can she..." Tom's eyes, "how can she transfer to Gryffindor and be with you... Are you from Gryffindor?"

"Uh...yes!" Harry replied, not knowing how to solve Laura's troubles.

"It's such a disgusting trouble, but I still try my best to help him... It's really, really tiresome..." Tom chuckled, with quite a look of disdain for Laura on his face!

As he spoke, his eyes never left Harry's face, and there was a certain longing in his eyes.

"It's so boring, having to listen to the silly little worries of a twelve-year-old girl. Especially such terrible worries!" he continued, "but I'm very patient, I write her back, I'm compassionate, Kindhearted, Laura loves me simply. No one understands me like you do, Tom...I'm so glad I can reveal my feelings in my diary...that's why I have a friend I can carry with me..."

Tom burst out laughing, a high, cruel laugh. The hairs on the back of Harry's neck stood up.

"Let me talk about myself, Harry! I can always charm whoever I want, so Laura gave me her soul, and her soul happened to be what I wanted. With her The deepest fears and darkest secrets are food, especially the energy of the soul that is rich in her blood inheritance. These are undoubtedly the best supplements for people in my state. After all, the Chris family is not that good. Useless family!”

Tom took two steps, "My power is getting stronger and stronger. I have become much more powerful than little Miss Chris. I am so powerful that I can also feed Miss Chris some of my secrets and give her a little bit of my soul power." …”

"What do you mean?" Harry's mouth became very dry.

"Haven't you guessed yet, Harry Potter?" Tom said softly, "Laura Criss opened the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, it was she who strangled the school's cock and scrawled threatening messages on the walls. . She was the one who led the Slytherin Python to those four people, as well as the cat."

"No." Fan Lin growled. "You did all of this, right? What did you do to her?"

"Yes, it's just a brief memory, or soul control. Your teacher should have taught you it, similar to the Imperius Curse!" Tom said calmly. "Of course, initially, she had no idea what she was doing. It's hilarious. I hope you can read her new diary... it's much funnier... 'Dear Tom,'"

He repeated, looking into Harry's horrified face, "'I think my memory is fading, I have chicken feathers all over my robes, I don't know where they come from, dear Tom, I don't remember Halloween night What did I do, a cat was attacked, and my front was stained with paint, Tom. Fanlin kept saying that I looked pale and that I wasn't myself anymore. I think he was doubting me, but. …There was another attack today and I still can’t remember where I’ve been, Tom, what should I do? I’m going crazy…I think I’m the one who attacked everyone, Tom’” Clench your fists and dig your nails into your palms.

"I didn't doubt her..." Fan Lin said angrily, "I had known this was the case..."

"It took little silly Laura a while to stop trusting her diary," Tom said, "but she eventually started to have doubts, but she didn't want to throw it away; she wanted to get rid of the diary. "

"It's a naive idea, but the most important thing is that my diary left her, which makes me feel very unhappy. Those little brats who bullied poor Laura..." Tom said indifferently.

"But... Fan Lin, you joined right then. Your magic is indeed purer than Laura's, and the total amount of magic is much more! Especially what you told me about Harry Potter, right? I couldn't be happier about this. Of all the people who might pick up this diary, you are undoubtedly a good choice, but the protection on your body allows me to absorb only a little at a time, especially since you don't trust me, so , you are undoubtedly a failed picker. Of course, what I am most eager to see is the person next to you, Harry Potter..."

"Why do you want to see me?" Harry was so angry that he had to restrain himself to keep his voice steady.

"Well, Laura told me everything about you, Harry. About your magical history." His eyes passed over the lightning-shaped scar on Harry's forehead, and his expression became more and more anxious, "I I know I have to know you better, talk to you, meet you... But this damn kid didn't contribute the diary, but today is a good opportunity, I feel the breath of little Laura again, so I think this is A good meeting opportunity.”

Tom laughed: "And this Fan Lin Aier did not disappoint me, he really brought you here!"

"Then what you showed me are all true, in order for me to trust you?" Fan Lin thought for a moment. He needed to find out what happened to Hagrid, which would help clear Hagrid's charges.

"Of course, and Fanlin, I was the one who said bad things about Hagrid. You can imagine what old Armando thinks. On the one hand, there is Tom Riddle, poor but talented, fatherless but courageous. He is The best model student in the school; on the other hand, there is the muscular, rude and clumsy Hagrid, who gets into trouble every other week, tries to raise a werewolf under the bed, and sneaks into the Forbidden Forest to fight cave giants. "

"However, I have to admit that even I was surprised that the plan went so well. I thought that someone must have realized that Hagrid could not be a descendant of Slytherin. I spent five years trying to find out as much about it as possible. All the information about the Chamber of Mysteries and finding the secret entrance... It would be useless even if Hagrid had the brains or the ability!"

"Only Dumbledore, Professor of Transfiguration at the time, believed that Hagrid was innocent. He persuaded Armando to take Hagrid in and train him to be a game guard. I think Dumbledore might have guessed something. Dumbledore never Like other teachers like me..."

"I bet Dumbledore can see right through you." Harry gritted his teeth in hatred. It was the man in front of him who framed Hagrid, and Harry wanted to give Tom a good beating.

"Well, Hagrid has been watching me rather annoyingly closely since he was expelled," Tom said nonchalantly. "I know it's not safe to open the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets while I'm still in school."

"But I didn't want the years of searching for it to go to waste. I decided to keep a diary of my sixteen-year-old self in it so that, with any luck, I could lead others to it. Come and follow in my footsteps, and fulfill Salazar Slytherin's noble destiny."

"You can't make it happen," Harry said in a mocking tone. "No one died this time, not even the cats. In a few hours the mandrakes will be ready and they will be alive again."

"Didn't I tell you?" Tom said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter to me whether you kill or not? Now my new target is - you!"

Harry stared at him, and Fanlin nervously tightened his wand. His secret technique had been activated, and he looked at Tom with a pair of blood-red eyes.

"To this day, I can't wait any longer. Seeing you is more important than anything else, especially the diary is back in Laura's hands again. Fan Lin is so stingy, which makes me have to wait more Learn a little, and then I will be able to show up. I have many questions to ask you, Harry Potter!"

"What?" Harry said, still clenching his fists.

Tom smiled happily: "A baby with no extraordinary magical talent, you are not even as good as the person next to you. So, how did you defeat the greatest wizard? How could you be almost unscathed except for a scar?" , but Voldemort’s power was completely destroyed?”

His hungry eyes glowed with an eerie red light.

"Why are you so concerned about how Harry escapes?" Fan Lin's eyes exuded a dangerous light, Parseltongue, Slytherin fifty years ago, all of this is connected to one person.

Fan Lin said slowly, "You are Voldemort. The Voldemort who was at Hogwarts fifty years ago!"

"That's right," Tom said to himself, his voice still so gentle, "Voldemort, that's a good name. He is my past, present and future, Harry Potter, oh, of course, and you. , Fanlin El..."

He took out Harry's wand from his bag, flew into the air, and wrote three shining words in the air: Tom Marvolo Riddle. Then, he waved the wand again, and the letters in the air rearranged themselves. , turned into: "I am Master Voldemort"

"See?" he whispered, "I was already using this name when I was at Hogwarts, and of course, only my close friends knew about it. This is really a regrettable thing, and I even more I tend to keep using this name!" (To be continued)
