Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 57 The Descendants of Salazar Slytherin

The two looked at each other, and Dumbledore didn't see the answer he wanted from Tom's eyes.

Just like 50 years ago, while Tom Riddle was a very good student, he also knew how to hide his truest side as much as possible.

Maybe the reason why he became crazy later was because he made too many Horcruxes, but isn't there any part of it that belongs to the more paranoid side of Tom Riddle's character?

No way!

But Tom Riddle is very good at hiding himself, and no one except Dumbledore can see his disguise until he is exposed.

"I choose D for this question."

Tom's indifferent voice came to Dumbledore's ears, which made him wake up suddenly, and he realized his current situation in time.

Looking at his calm eyes without any emotional fluctuations, Dumbledore roughly understood what Tom Riddle meant.

He wants to reveal his secret by himself.

Instead of misleading him, it's better to spread it openly.

This scene made Dumbledore, who understood the meaning of Tom's heart, couldn't help but sigh, Tom's mind was very strong, and his character was very proud before he appeared to study black magic and lead to madness. Li, and he doesn't care whether someone who can defeat him will appear later.

Because he was... not afraid of anything.

Even if it is facing Dumbledore, it is more jealous, and when it is possible not to face him, try not to face him.

This... is the real Tom Riddle.

[Tom Riddle chooses option D, the answer is correct, and the reward will be issued at the same time as Albus Dumbledore's reward]

【Whether to check the analysis】

"Yes."

[Rewards will be issued after the analysis is completed]

For such a straightforward Tom Riddle, everyone outside except Snape, the rest of the professors and students were shocked and understood why Voldemort was able to overwhelm the entire British wizarding world.

Decisive, harsh, even betraying himself so decisively.

"Professor Dumbledore, maybe even you haven't thought of it."

"what?"

"I would be a blood descendant of Salazar Slytherin."

As Tom said, a new wand gradually appeared in his hand, which was no different from the wand he used in his youth.

And he just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that the question and answer space would really duplicate an identical wand.

No, no, not copying, but finding information about the wand from his memory, and then manifesting it from his memory.

"The Gaunts? Tom."

Dumbledore answered irrelevant questions, and what he said made Tom Riddle fall into deep thought.

He was thinking about how many secrets he had spilled before he died.

Before, he chose to answer the question about his secret by himself. On the one hand, he didn’t care about it. On the other hand, he was eager to know how much Dumbledore knew about him, so he took out this question, which didn’t mean much to him. Important secrets to test Dumbledore.

Judging from the current situation, Dumbledore still knows a lot. Although he didn't know that the basilisk was controlled by him before, the latter sentence of the Gaunt family directly let Tom break through.

Sure enough, Dumbledore knew about it, but he didn't know when he knew about it.

The questions and answers of the two were full of their temptations to each other, and from these words, they both got the answers they wanted.

[Question: Why is Tom Riddle able to control the Millennium Basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets]

[A, Parseltongue, due to historical reasons and some special reasons, most people in the modern magic world believe that every wizard who masters Parseltongue is doomed or already a dark wizard in the future. The consensus of most wizards.As a language that can communicate with snakes, Parseltongue sounds like the hissing of a poisonous snake, which can make a person feel cold from body to heart, and Parseltongue can communicate with snakes, but But it can’t control the basilisk, so the answer A is wrong]

[B. Although black magic is one of the most mysterious, evil, and powerful types of magic, and it also has magic to enslave other races, including humans, but because of time, Tom Riddle mastered the basilisk for the first time. I didn’t master similar black magic at that time, so the answer B is wrong]

[C. When Tom was young, he attracted the support of most pure-blood families because of his excellent character and learning, and he was friendly and helpful to most of his classmates, and because he put forward the theory of pure-blood supremacy as the core, and received the support of most of the pure-blood families. The followers of pure-blood family members, before becoming crazy, Tom Riddle has an attractive charm, but this charm is useless to the basilisk, so option C is wrong]

[D. The Millennium Basilisk that lived in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was once the pet of Salazar Slytherin, and Tom Riddle, who has the blood of Salazar Slytherin, plus the snake awakened from the ancestors Laoqiang, Tom Riddle once communicated with the basilisk, and then passed the test left by Slytherin, so he gained control of the basilisk, because the proportion of Salazar Slytherin blood in it Larger, so option D is correct]

The analysis of this question is basically about Tom Riddle.

From these analyses, Dumbledore's calm eyes showed a rare solemnity.

Four options, four analysis, the information contained in it answered some doubts that Dumbledore could not understand.

Why can Tom control that basilisk?
Tom was born in the Gunter family, but he is a mixed race, which is rare in that extremely ancient pure-blood family, and the Gunter family was removed from the magic world a few decades ago, unless the family is still alive. There is blood flowing in other places, otherwise the Gunter family, an ancient pure-blood family, will really disappear in the magic world.

And if the Gaunt family goes back to their roots, they are also descendants of Salazar Slytherin.
