Chapter 1446 Memory and Analysis
"So, how do I get to this Diagon Alley?" Riddle said, met Dumbledore's gaze, and added the last two words, "Professor!"
Dumbledore didn't insist on going with him, he handed Riddle the envelope containing the shopping list, and told Riddle the exact route from the orphanage to the Leaky Cauldron, usually his behavior was abnormal. m..
If Riddle really thought that Dumbledore would let him go, he was dead wrong!
The dialogue between Dumbledore and the young Riddle gave Ivan a deeper understanding of Voldemort.
Although Riddle was only eleven years old at this time, many traits would not change for life.
These character traits become stronger with age.
Eleven-year-old Riddle is not as sunny, well-behaved, and lovable as his appearance. On the contrary, his heart is very dark and arrogant. He thinks he has special powers, that is, he can use magic. Take pride in, and insist that he is different.
Therefore, he can bully his companions.
Many of the things he did were beyond the point of joking, but Riddle didn't care, instead he was complacent.
He wantonly hurts his companions because he can do it. Of course, the trigger is ridiculous contradictions for various reasons.
Personality-wise, Riddle is good at intimidating and judging situations.
If Dumbledore was just an ordinary Muggle, he would definitely be bluffed.
After realizing that Dumbledore was not easy to bully, he immediately expressed his obedience, obeying Dumbledore's orders, obeying power and power beyond his own, this is a typical Slytherin character traits, judging the situation, on the surface Obeying authority, eleven-year-old Riddle did well.
In addition, he is used to acting alone, which shows that he does not trust others at all.
Ivan predicted that when he arrived at Diagon Alley, he would definitely not simply satisfy the basic items listed on the school shopping list. Although Dumbledore gave him not enough Galleons, he would get what he needed .
There is no doubt about it, this dark guy is smart and unscrupulous.
When these qualities are combined, it often means uncontrollable, that is, dangerous and troublesome.
This is a born dark wizard, and a boy who is destined to become the devil.
While Ivan was thinking and looking at the eleven-year-old Riddle, the young Dumbledore was also looking at the boy.
He knew far less information than Ivan, and he didn't know how to make a judgment.
"Don't worry, you'll find Diagon Alley," he said. "Although the Muggles around you, that is, people who don't know magic, can't see it, just ask Tom the barkeep. It's easy to remember. The name is the same as yours." Same."
Riddle twitched in exasperation, as if trying to dislodge an annoying fly.
"You don't like the name Tom?" Dumbledore asked, getting to the point.
"There are too many people named Tom." Riddle muttered, and then he seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he seemed to blurt out, "Is my father a wizard? They told me he was also called Tom Riddle."
"I'm sorry, I don't know," said Dumbledore, his voice soft.
"My mother can't be magic, otherwise she wouldn't die." Riddle didn't seem to be talking to Dumbledore, but more like talking to himself, "It must be my father, yes, I think it must be him .So, after I have bought everything, when will I go to this Hogwarts school?"
"All the details are written on the second parchment inside the envelope," said Dumbledore. "You depart from King's Cross on September 1st, and there is also a train ticket in the envelope."
Riddle nodded, Dumbledore stood up, and held out his hand again.
Riddle said while shaking hands, "I can talk to snakes. I found out when we were hiking in the countryside. They found me and whispered to me. Is this normal for a wizard?"
It was evident that he deliberately delayed the mention of this most singular of abilities until the last moment.
He wanted to calm down Dumbledore, and he achieved his goal.
Dumbledore hesitated visibly, for the first time since he entered the room.
"A rare talent!" he said slowly, "but not unheard of."
His tone was casual, but his eyes scanned Riddle's face curiously.
The two stood for a moment, man and boy, staring at each other.
Then, the two let go, and Dumbledore walked to the door.
"Goodbye, Tom, I'll see you at Hogwarts."
"It's almost there, let's go back." Dumbledore said with white hair.
The scene in front of me began to become blurred and distorted, and the memory ended here.
Ivan glanced at Riddle who was looking at the door expressionlessly. A few seconds later, they landed firmly in the real office.
"Sit down," said Dumbledore gently. "I think you two must have a lot of questions."
Ivan and Harry looked at each other, and Harry asked impatiently, "Professor, he believes this, that is, he is a wizard much faster than me. When Hagrid told me, I didn't believe."
"Before I saw Harry and Dobby, I was always full of doubts." Ivan agreed, he could have developed in the direction of being reborn as a world-class rich man or a big star, um, using future black technology and unpublished All kinds of film and television, singing, and literary works are pretending to be forceful, but who knows that this is actually a magical world.
Moreover, it is still such a troublesome magical world, with a typical sudden change in style.
If you don't have a certain mental capacity, you will definitely not immediately accept the fact that you are a wizard.
"You two have also seen that, unlike many people, Riddle can't wait to believe that he is, in his own words, he is different." Dumbledore said, seeming to be caught in memory, staring blankly at him. Ring on hand.
"At that time, did you know about it? About him becoming..."
"Are you trying to say that I knew then that the man I just saw was the most dangerous dark wizard ever?" said Dumbledore, shaking his head, "No, I had no idea he would become what he is now Man. But I do have an interest in him, and to be honest, I've rarely been as interested in a little wizard as I am in him. I left that room with the intention of keeping a close eye on him, which I should have done, because he Alone, no friends, but then, I felt like I was doing it not just for him, but for other people."
"For others?" Ai Wen asked, "Do you think he will definitely have problems?"
"As you have heard just now, for such a young wizard, his ability is surprisingly perfect and mature. If you want to ask, I can tell you clearly that no young wizard can achieve his level, at least Hogwarts has not had a student like this in recent centuries. And most interestingly, and most ominously, he has discovered that he can control these abilities to some degree and has begun to use them consciously. As As you can see, he is not doing random experiments like ordinary young wizards. He is already using magic against others, using magic to intimidate, punish and control others. The rabbit that was hanged, and the one who was killed The story of the two children he tricked into the cave, a boy and a girl, is very illustrative." Dumbledore paused, and in Riddle's words, "I can hurt them as long as I want..."
