Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 246 Similarity is not the same after all
"Harry, let's take a look at Hogwarts."

Instead of answering Harry directly, Tom sent out a conversation similar to an invitation.

"No problem, that's what I was going to do."

Harry didn't think much about it, he didn't feel any malice against him from Tom.

What I have felt has always been sincere kindness.

Harry was pretty sure of that.

The two walked side by side, wandering the corridors of Hogwarts together.

For these places, Harry is very clear.

Classes often travel from these corridors to different classrooms.

But there are still some remote corridors, I don't know where they lead.

Perhaps George, Fred, and Filch knew better where these remote corridors led.

A look of nostalgia flashed in Tom's eyes.

Going to the place he once walked again, still after decades, has a different feeling for him.

Since the last time I was forced to leave Hogwarts.

He's been through a lot in Germany.

Also been in Durmstrang.

But no school, no place, could bring him such rare peace as Hogwarts.

This is his home.

Wu's Orphanage is not home, this is it.

Even if he hadn't experienced any... love from anyone when he first entered Hogwarts.

But here, he can feel at ease.

"Harry, I like Hogwarts very much."

As we were walking, Tom suddenly said something.

"I like Hogwarts too, very much."

Harry subconsciously followed.

And he was telling the truth, he did like Hogwarts.

"When I was still living at the house of my uncle and aunt, I fantasized that I could escape from that place sooner."

"Later, when Hagrid found me with the Hogwarts admission letter, I was really happy."

"I never thought that I would be a wizard, nor did I think that I would come to such a magic school to study."

Touching the wall, Harry's eyes flickered, memories flashed in his mind.

"You really look like me, Harry."

"That's what I thought at the time. When I entered a magic school, there was a place I wanted to leave but couldn't leave when I was young. If it wasn't for magic, I might be the same as you."

Turning, Tom suddenly grabbed Harry's hand.

The sudden move startled Harry.

Tom looked very excited.

"I was born in an orphanage since I was a child, and I don't know who my parents are. If it wasn't for Dumbledore..."

After a pause, Tom focused on Harry's face.

"What happened to Professor Dumbledore?"

Harry saw the awkward look in Tom's eyes when he spoke of Professor Dumbledore.

It was fleeting, but he caught it again.

"If it wasn't for Professor Dumbledore, I'm afraid I would still be a person living in the Muggle world and working hard for my future life."

"You were born in an orphanage?"

Sensing Tom's words intentionally avoiding Professor Dumbledore, Harry didn't break the casserole to ask the end.

"Yeah, it's...a dilapidated orphanage, and there are a bunch of not-so-good people, but it's undeniable...the orphanage raised me. If it wasn't for that orphanage, I'm afraid I would have died long ago Bar."

"I live in the house of my uncle and aunt, as you said, even if they treat me badly, at least they have raised me. Without them, I might... like you, live in an orphanage inside."

Looking into Tom's eyes, Harry felt that he had a familiar past with this man.

This undoubtedly pulled into the relationship between the two in a sense.

It's just that unlike Harry, Tom knows very well who made Harry lose his parents and was forced to live in the house of his uncle and aunt.

Voldemort was him too, that's an undeniable fact.

Also, an inescapable responsibility.

"Harry, do you know, I really want to have the love, friendship and family affection that Professor Dumbledore said. The love he said is something I always want but don't have."

What Tom said made Harry very curious.

There seems to be a mysterious relationship between Tom and Professor Dumbledore.

Before the arrival of Durmstrang School, Harry saw the astonishment on Dumbledore's face when he looked at Tom.

It seemed he didn't expect Tom to come to Hogwarts.

Obviously, when Tom talked about Professor Dumbledore, the expression on his face was also very strange, as if there was something unspeakable.

But in chatting with him, he will subconsciously talk about Professor Dumbledore.

"I might be a little better than you, Tom."

After listening to what he said, Harry could feel the pain he had been hiding all along.

"I'm a little luckier than you. I feel the love from Professor Dumbledore's mouth. I have a group of good friends who have always been by my side."

"No matter what we go through, no matter what we encounter, we are still together. Maybe sometimes there will be conflicts between us, maybe sometimes people will ridicule us, but as long as there are difficulties, then they will always stand by my side .”

Harry laughed, thinking of all the things he had experienced with Ron, Hermione, and Draco who later became friends.

Thinking of Sirius again.

He originally thought that Sirius was here to kill him, but he didn't expect that Sirius was here to protect him.

The most important people are Professor Dumbledore, and... Professor Snape.

He really hated himself, but he was really protecting himself.

Love and hate are intertwined, and Harry knows that he may never understand Professor Snape's heart, but this does not prevent him from being grateful to Professor Snape.

For example, last Christmas, he gave Professor Snape a bottle of shampoo.

When I saw Professor Snape recently, his hair was obviously much drier, and it didn't give off the greasy feeling before.

"You're luckier than me, Harry."

Seeing the happy smile on Harry's face.

Even just looking at it, you can feel that it is full of good memories.

Tom couldn't help laughing too.

His smile is probably more bitter.

He turned his gaze away from Harry, looking at the beautiful scenery outside.

Tom sighed again in his heart.

Harry, you really are luckier than me.

If the house he was assigned to when he entered Hogwarts was not Slytherin but Gryffindor, then...would he have iron-like friendship and beautiful love.

After graduation, are you lucky to have your own family?

Tom didn't know, he didn't even dare to imagine the picture.

"It's really a pleasure chatting with you, and the two of us are really similar, but the similarity is not the same after all."
