My classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

Chapter 185 Safe House

"This is the safe house you said? Ahem!"

The closed pet store finally opened its doors after many years, but apart from the infested rats, there was no animal here. Nelson approached the store, and a damp and rotten dust smell hit his face. He covered his mouth and nose, He found an iron cage that looked fairly clean, and gently brushed on the top. When a cloud of thicker smoke rose, Nelson finally gave up the idea of ​​finding a place to sit.

"I still feel quite safe, especially under the extreme conditions I envisioned. I believe no one would think that we are hiding here." Tom shrugged, and by the way, he erected a transparent layer around Nelson and himself. Immediately afterwards, he moved out a broken cabinet from the door, opened the cabinet door, raised his wand and pointed at the store, "Sweep away with the whirlwind!"

A gust of wind comparable to a hurricane swept the corners of the store, all the dust was blown up, and the air in the store instantly became turbid. Using "there are dirty things in the air" can't describe the filthiness of the store at all, in other words — There is wind in dirty things.It's a good thing Tom had erected the barrier ahead of time, otherwise he and Nelson might have been soaked in disinfectant water for days.

"I mean, it doesn't look very safe on its own," Nelson said, squeaking in despair as he saw several dirty rats also being swept into the wind, entangled in an unusually strong spider web , He retracted his gaze and said, "I mean, these rats may infect some diseases, you know, black death, cholera, dysentery and so on."

"Not now." Tom waved his wand vigorously in the direction of the cabinet, and the dirty things swept out by the wind, the garbage in the store and the old furniture were all rolled into the cabinet, and then he pushed hard into the air, and the cabinet The door slammed shut. Tom wiped off his sweat and said, "It's very useful. The disappearing cabinet I bought at the Bokinbok Magic Store."

"The Vanishing Cabinet?" Nelson smacked his lips and said, "Do you know where the other side of the cabinet is connected?"

"I don't know, but if I knew, I wouldn't be able to use it as a trash can." Tom grabbed two green iron chains from the handle of the cabinet, and fastened the cabinet door firmly. He swung back to the door, clapped his hands, and said, "Anyway, I lock it every time I finish throwing out the trash, and I can't find where I am on the other side."

"Good way, it's really convenient to throw garbage like this..." Nelson didn't know what to say, he just hoped that another Vanishing Cabinet wouldn't be placed in some unlucky guy's kitchen.

"Okay, we can renovate the safe house."

It is said to be "decoration", but Tom has already prepared all kinds of lamps and furniture. With only a light command, they will complete their own missions. The chandelier is nailed to the ceiling with screws, and the candles are bouncing Going into the recesses of the chandeliers and wall lamps, the long rod in the closet was like a leader, gesticulating and pointing at other furniture, as if calibrating their direction and position, Tom removed the dust barrier, He took out two small benches from nowhere, took out two bottles of butter beer, and handed Nelson a bottle.

Nelson sniffed, the air was much better than at the beginning, he pulled the ring on the glass bottle, swallowed a drink full of bubbles, and asked, "So, what did you see from Calactacus' memory?" To your mother?"

"Well..." said Tom, nodding his head, "she is, if I'm not mistaken."

"What did you see?" Nelson asked curiously.

"I saw a thin, pregnant woman who came to Burkin Burke's black shop on a rainy night. She wanted to exchange the most precious things in her body for some money enough to feed her stomach." Tom's voice suddenly rose, and suddenly became He said in a low voice, after a while, "I saw Calactacus bought Slytherin's locket for ten Galleons... I was already prepared, ready to see her do what the man said, She is a woman who regards human life as trivial and only cares about her own preferences. She did not expect to see her with such a sickly look at the first sight, and even... It seems that there are only a few days left to live. Relying on ten Galleons, I don't even know how I was born."

"Tom..." Nelson opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and finally choked out, "Was the purchasing power of ten Galleons so strong back then?"

"Haha, you bastard." Tom was amused by Nelson's words, and shook his head with a smile.

"When I saw my parents for the first time, they were also down." Nelson shrugged and said, "The two of them were fighting Grindelwald at that time. Anyway, in my opinion, their chances of winning are...very good Slight. But I think no matter what kind of person your mother is, since she was able to drag the sick body until you were born, then she must hope that you can grow up healthy. Of course, I have said this nonsense many times , and you have indeed grown up healthy."

"Yeah," Tom nodded and said, "Don't worry, I don't have so many fragile emotions. I don't have any reason to have any emotions for someone who has been dead for so many years. Those things don't know where they were thrown away. The locker is gone!"

"Just get used to it," advised Nelson as an "experienced person." "Fate always likes to play tricks on us."

Tom was actually prepared long ago. He was willing to accept the "truth" that his mother, whom he had never met, was a mediocre wizard with no merit or a dark wizard full of evil. I have already sketched in my mind the image of a witch holding a potion bottle, wrapped in a black poisonous snake, laughing wildly "Jie Jie Jie" and waving her wand to release black magic, but God made a big joke for him—— This woman is completely different from what I imagined. She is too mediocre, too pitiful, and too difficult to look directly at. Maybe only a bad-hearted and hard-hearted guy like Caractacus can face Mei before she dies. When Luo Pu was still thinking about camping, right?

No matter what big people or bad guys he encounters, Tom can handle it with ease, but he will be at a loss when facing such poor people. What makes him feel even more distressed is that when Merope entered the Bojinbok magic shop, his face was ashen. It seems that she has completely lost her expectation of life, but she is thinking of replacing some money for sustenance-she has been supporting her stomach, even if Tom is dull, she will understand that she is just to allow herself to be born into this world superior.

Tom lowered his head and was at a loss for words for a moment. He was even a little thankful that Merope passed away prematurely, so that he didn't have to face this humble and miserable woman at the end of his life. He realized that he couldn't think so, how could he Is the child glad that his mother died early?
He buried his head and scratched his scalp vigorously. Nelson stretched out his hand to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he retracted his hand, walked silently to the side, and took out some small ball plugs one size larger Into the corners of the store.

"I don't know how much this old fellow Caractacus has earned!" Tom suddenly raised his head and said through gritted teeth. He was terrified by the weakness he showed just now, and he found a target for empathy in a timely manner, and put The resentment in the whole body vented on the target, "I must make him pay the price!"

"What's the price?" Nelson manipulated a bird turned into a candle stub, flew up to the ceiling and threw the ball in its beak into the chandelier, and asked without looking back, "Honestly, I feel This old man is so weak."

"Of course he is weak, cheating money from a pregnant woman, cheating a pregnant woman who is dying? Is this something a human can do? But yes, anyone who can make a Horcrux is already a ghost."

Tom said angrily, he regretted so much at this moment, why he didn't directly give Calactacus a death curse in Knockturn Alley, so that it would undoubtedly be much more difficult to trouble him again.

But he himself may not have realized that at this moment, he didn't consider what Merope did at all, and didn't consider whether it was her own fault that she ended up in this situation. He just stood on Merope's side for no reason—— It may be as a sympathetic bystander, or it may be as a son whose mother has never met.

Standing under the chandelier, Nelson looked at the little bird made of white wax and flew around happily, showing a smile that could not be concealed.

"Gnar, what are you laughing at? Have you thought of any good ideas?"

"I just feel a little happy," Nelson smiled, and turned his head. The little bird was softened and melted by the candle on the chandelier, and finally turned into a puddle of wax water, which dripped on the ground and quickly solidified. "Speaking of good ideas, I really thought of one. Do you think Calactacus is similar to Haierbo? I even think Haierbo is his ancestor."

"You mean to let Hai Erbo deal with him?"

"Uh..." Nelson scratched his head, "I didn't think so, I just thought it would be interesting to lock the two together. But it's okay to let Hai Erbo deal with him, and I'm looking forward to it, two shameless What kind of sparks of passion can be rubbed out by old immortals."

"But can you guarantee to control Haierbo?" Tom expressed his worries, "He is much more difficult than Calactacus."

"We can change the method. Borgin Bock of Karaktakus gave me a new idea." Nelson put his hand into his pocket, fumbled for a moment, then made a fist and stretched it out in front of Tom. Tom looked curiously , I saw Nelson stretching out his hand, and a blue eyeball appeared in his hand. Unlike the eyeballs of those ghouls, this blue eyeball has only one pupil, and its texture is more like a rock, like a handicraft made of crystal , shining brightly under the light, Nelson threw his eyeballs into Tom's hand and said, "I did a rough research. This thing has the ability to transmit thoughts, and it is very practical for a soul like Haierbo."

"Oh? This is not the same as those."

"Yes, if the fire doesn't rot, I brought it back."

"Are you sure?"

"There is no sure thing in the world," Nelson said, "but I can guarantee that even if a complete Haierbo appears in front of me, as long as he is indeed the notorious black wizard, he will not be able to defeat him." I——I don’t know why, a lot of the magic that Grindelwald has taught me in the past few years is related to the soul, I think he might have foreseen something?”

"Didn't you foresee anything?" Tom raised his eyebrows. "Aren't you a prophet too?"

"You will become a bald head in the future," Nelson said casually. Seeing Tom subconsciously stretching his hands to the top of his head, he smiled and waved his hands and said, "I lied to you, your shampoo will work very well."

"Hmph." Tom snorted coldly, turned his head away, and asked, "Shall we go and release Hai Erbo now?"

Nelson shook his head, took out a bottle of butterbeer from Tom's pocket, ran back to the light, and drank it self-consciously, "I have to wait, I haven't figured out if there is anything else hidden about this thing Function or magic, I have to find a place to look up information, so I have to let them play freely for a while... By the way, can't you see what Karactakus is thinking?"

"Only if he's very emotional," Tom added.

"That's enough, I think, why don't we follow his ideas and see how he has tried his best and failed to achieve anything, it must be very interesting." Nelson said, scratching his chin.

"Will that be too slow?" Tom had some doubts, "Something may happen if it takes too long."

"Don't worry, even if there is an anomaly, what does it have to do with us? I don't know Chamberlain and Karkaroff." Nelson smiled, "And his group of allies is quite a lot in the wizarding world of the whole UK." energy."

"Yeah, they might get us in trouble."

"What are you afraid of? Tom." Nelson suddenly approached, stared at Tom and said seriously, "Don't you think, compared to an old and immortal commissary owner, the descendants of Slytherin are more suitable to stand in the center of that group of people?" ?”

"But I feel disgusted when I see those pretentious pure-blood wizards." Tom shrugged. "Those fat-headed things, I never thought they could do anything."

"But they're rich and powerful," Nelson said. "They lack brains, so they need someone to be their brains."

……

"Speaking of it, Gnar." Time passed quickly, and as dusk fell, the stomachs of the two young boys growled, and the shop was completely new, with neat decoration and furnishings, and Nelson was also hiding in various corners. With the blessing of various spells and mechanisms, this small store has truly become a "safe house". Tom straightened the last chair and raised his head and shouted, "I remember Mrs. Cole said that she I died soon after I was born."

"Well, I think she did." Nelson nodded.

"Then Mrs. Cole should know where she is buried?" Tom raised his head, looked at Nelson, blinked, and said:
"When will you accompany me to see her!"

"When?"

"Wait... wait until I'm ready."
