Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 68 The Original Reason for Tom's Change

He seems to be convincing himself, but also seems to be convincing others.

If he didn't know the Resurrection Stone, then Snape would still be able to shut down his feelings as before, continue to protect her son in a daze, and act as a spy for Dumbledore.

Maybe one day he will die unexpectedly, maybe Voldemort will suspect him after his resurrection, and then kill him cruelly.

There are so many possibilities.

If you have never seen the light, so what if you continue to bury the abyss.

but now……

A ray of light shone into the abyss from the top of his head, bringing hope and at the same time making the unwillingness buried in his heart thrive.

Why?
He wants to resurrect Lily!
Even if you give everything...

He wanted to try it all.

Everyone had different thoughts, but Dumbledore squinted at these options.

If it is shown to outsiders, then they will feel that every option in it is possible.

And the most likely one is the Deathly Hallows that has been circulating for an unknown amount of time.

Dumbledore has been in contact with the Philosopher's Stone, knows what it is, and knows what it does.

The Philosopher's Stone can allow people to live forever after paying a certain price, and it can also touch souls, but there is absolutely no way to resurrect a soul again.

At least as far as he knew, absolutely not.

He is not the owner of the Philosopher's Stone, nor is he the maker of the Philosopher's Stone.

Although he had obtained it from Nicole Flamel before and did some research.

But after all, it is not as clear as Nicole Flamel.

The first option was directly ruled out by Dumbledore.

His eyes shifted to the second option.

That is the legendary Deathly Hallows—the Resurrection Stone.

Dumbledore, who owns the Deathly Hallows—the elder wand, naturally would not think that the legend of the Deathly Hallows is just a legend.

He has personally mastered the elder wand for many years, and he is very aware of how much this wand has enhanced him, and he also knows that there are definitely secrets among the Deathly Hallows that he does not know.

Some time ago, he got the invisibility cloak that James left Harry, and through some means and a bold guess, he thought it was the invisibility cloak in the Deathly Hallows.

Three Deathly Hallows, if he really counted, he already got two in his hand, but in the last school year, he returned the Invisibility Cloak to Harry as a gift.

But so far, he has never gotten any information about the real existence of the Resurrection Stone. Too much of it is just false news, and it can be seen at a glance that it is a lie.

In fact, since many years ago, he no longer has the obsession to find the Deathly Hallows.

Therefore, except for the Elder Wand in his hand, the invisibility cloak he got by chance, and the most mysterious resurrection stone, he has only heard its name but never seen its substance.

Unexpectedly, I will see it here.

His eyes skipped over the second option, and then his eyes came to the third option.

That is a name that is very unfamiliar to many people.

If they hadn't been lucky enough to read this knowledge, then no one would know what a "horcrux" really is.

Coincidentally, Dumbledore read "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts" when he was pursuing black magic when he was young.

He is one of the few people who knows what a "horcrux" is.

It is also clear what the production conditions of the Horcrux are.

But as one of the most powerful wizards in the world, if he really wanted to live forever to avoid death, he would not choose the most evil method of "Horcrux".

His good friend is Nicole Flamel, who has the potion of immortality made from the Philosopher's Stone, and he can easily obtain the immortality that others dream of.

But if Dumbledore did, then he wouldn't be Dumbledore anymore.

As for the time hourglass, those who play with time will eventually be played by time.

This sentence is not empty talk.

The main reason is that Tom's current state doesn't look like he used the hourglass of time, and he doesn't have the smell left after using time magic.

So, the correct answer is either B or C.

Compared with the resurrection stone, Dumbledore's idea is more inclined to "Horcrux".

That complex gaze made Tom sigh from the bottom of his heart.

This was the last thing he wanted anyone to know.

Although he obtained the Soul Condensation Pill and completed his own soul, he was separated from the main soul and the sub-souls, and became an independent individual again.

But
Some things are not so easy to forget.

Tom is very conflicted now, frowning tightly, wondering if he should take the initiative to tell his secrets to pursue greater interests as before.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so entangled. If Tom present was replaced by Voldemort, he would probably make a choice without blinking an eye.

Even if it was Dumbledore standing in front of him.

Seeing Tom's entanglement and hesitation, Dumbledore suddenly froze for a moment.

He actually knew it, since he felt that Voldemort was not completely dead, he had guessed about Voldemort's state at that time.

He also doubted whether it was the cause of the Horcrux, but he didn't think about it after all.

But now, when the facts were in front of him, Dumbledore already knew the answer.

But now, it was Tom who answered the question, and he just had to watch quietly.

Will Tom continue to tell his secrets?
After all, Horcruxes are immortal, Voldemort is immortal, and he will also be immortal.

This method of avoiding death and treating the god of death as an idiot is what wizards like him who are afraid of death like to do most.

"Why didn't he choose?"

"Because he is still thinking, whether to expose his biggest secret, the deepest hole card, he hesitated."

Snape sneered, the sharpness in his eyes flashed away.

There is another thing he didn't say, that is, the young man was afraid that after being exposed, Dumbledore would do everything possible to find him in Hogwarts and solve him.

Nip the seeds of danger in the bud when he is at his weakest.

Frowning, Tom raised his head, the options on the parchment were so dazzling.

What he never expected was that his secret would be exposed under such circumstances.

He didn't know how many Horcruxes he would make in the future, the number might not be too many, maybe seven.

It comes from intuition, but also from his cognition of himself.

A person who knows exactly what he is is the most terrifying person.

"Tom, is this your purpose for 50 years?"

In this case, Dumbledore looked directly at him and spoke.

"Yes, Professor, perhaps."

Tom Riddle's brows gradually relaxed.

"I was the first one."
