Cardcaptor at Hogwarts

Chapter 320 The final story of the Gaunt family

Not long after the story began, Ominis's expression had already darkened.

Marvolo Gaunt, Morfin Gaunt, Merope Gaunt.

Ominis is not familiar with these three names, but it is normal. Judging from the time, it is estimated that these people are still a long time away from birth.

But the Gaunt family in this story made Ominis feel extremely familiar.

Merop, who had low magical ability, was humiliated by his family. He was kicked out of the house because he married a Muggle and became pregnant with a Muggle child. These are all consistent with the situation of the Gaunt family.

Even in Ominis' knowledge, this is not the most extreme situation. There are even some people in their family who are so extreme that they will try to kill that family member just because they show kindness to Muggles...

Gormlai Gaunt, the ancestor who killed her sister and brother-in-law for this reason, was killed when she tried to kill her niece for the same reason.

The niece who killed her aunt was called Aesop Seal. Her mother was a member of the Gaunt family, but she had good intentions toward Muggles. In the end, she found a Muggle partner. At the same time, the couple were also magicians in North America. Founder of the school Ilvermorny.

Ominis sighed when he heard the part about Merope Gaunt being abandoned by Tom Riddle.

This is an inevitable situation. He has a fiancée himself, and Merope was forced to use love potion. How could Old Tom fall in love with Merope?

As Adam told, Merope pawned a solid gold locket in order to survive and got ten gold galleons. The corners of Ominis' eyes twitched unconsciously.

The story continues until Merope gave birth to her son in front of an orphanage, named him the same as his father, and then lost her life.

"Wait a moment……"

Ominis remained silent after hearing this, but Sebastian couldn't help interrupting:

"This is not normal. You said before that Merope doesn't have any magical abilities at all. No matter how bad her physical condition is, she shouldn't die just because she gave birth to a child, right?"

It's not that Sebastian doesn't understand the harm that childbirth can do to women, but that under the protection of magic, the wizard's physical strength is indeed stronger than that of ordinary people.

Otherwise, normally speaking, the Quidditch goal is 50 feet high, and the players move at roughly this height. Even if Harry was knocked down from the sky by Dobby, it wouldn't be all over the ground, but he shouldn't have only one broken piece. Arm - he even had the consciousness to stop Lockhart from casting a spell on him!

"Maybe she doesn't want to live anymore."

Adam did not answer, but Ominis spoke:

"After all, she could imagine that Tom Riddle really loved her when he was under the drug, and even gave the child the same name as Tom Riddle after giving birth."

After all, magical protection is not a passive skill that cannot be turned off. If the person involved is determined to die, the physique of a wizard who loses magical protection is no different from that of ordinary people.

"Can there really be such a crazy person?"

As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, Ominis couldn't help but complain:

"You didn't give in at all for Anne!"

"Uh...huh? Really?"

Sebastian laughed.

Ominis ignored this hopeless guy and turned to look at Adam:

"This story shouldn't be over yet, right?"

If it ended here, even though it was indeed the future of the Gaunt family, he couldn't see Adam's purpose in telling this story to him.

Adam nodded and continued to tell the story just now, except that from now on the protagonist of the story changed from Merope to her child.

A genius, a genius who could figure out the rudimentary use of magic on his own before receiving formal magic education, a genius who had such a talent but grew up in a depressing environment like an orphanage.

The ominous premonition in Ominis's heart became more and more serious.

Little Tom's childhood was mentioned in a few words, and the specific manifestation was only revealed through the exchange between the Hogwarts professor and him. After entering Hogwarts, Little Tom's growth was also described. Adam sped across with a very succinct statement.

This undoubtedly shows that this period is not the focus of the story, but the two audience members can still see the talent of young Tom in this concise statement.

For the two current Hogwarts students, there is no need to elaborate on the value of having all 12 subjects in OLs with all O's (outstanding).

In the story, Adam concealed the existence of Horcruxes and Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets because that was not the point. The center of the story he told was the Gaunt family rather than the rise of Voldemort.

At this point in the story, the rhythm slowed down again, and both of them could probably guess that the climax of the story was coming.

In the story just now, Ominis paid attention to the fact that Tom Riddle discovered that he was a descendant of Slytherin in Hogwarts by discovering that he had the ability to speak Parseltongue.

This represents Tom Riddle investigating his own life experience. With his life experience and his ferocious ambitions revealed in the past few years, Ominis has some vague guesses about what will happen next.

Sure enough, next Tom Riddle found Gaunt's old house in Little Hangleton Village, met his uncle, and learned about his life experience and the news that Marvolo Gaunt had passed away.

Even though they had been mentally prepared, the direction of the plot was beyond their understanding.

Tom Riddle, who knew that his true life was actually a half-blood, knocked out his uncle and took away the token of the Gaunt family, which was a ring.

The subsequent development of the story was beyond their imagination. Tom Riddle used his uncle's wand to kill his father's family, and then modified his uncle's memory, making him think that he really did it himself.

So after Tom Riddle's uncle was taken away by the Ministry of Magic and sentenced to life imprisonment for massacring Muggles, Tom Riddle, the only remaining descendant of the Gaunt family and the holder of the Gaunt family token, became the undisputed heir of the Gaunt family, and his half-blood identity was no longer known.

Adam's story ended here, but Omines was not satisfied with it:

"What happened next? What happened to Tom Riddle later?"

Omines knew that Adam must know the answer to the question, because Adam's necklace had explained everything.

"After learning about his origins, Tom Riddle didn't like the name from his Muggle father, so he changed his name to Voldemort."

Adam demonstrated this word game. Because it was a magical word, Omines could also sense it:

"After that, he relied on his extraordinary talent to gain powerful black magic abilities. He once dominated the British wizarding world, and once almost dominated the British wizarding world, but was eventually killed."

After Adam finished speaking, he looked at Omines:

"This is... the last story of the Gaunt family."

It stands to reason that the last person in the Gaunt family should be the daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix. Adam doesn't know if this daughter still exists this time, but even if she does, what does it matter?

The inheritance of the Gaunt family has been broken. Without those inheritances, what else does the Gaunt family have except the bad genes created by multiple generations of inbreeding and possible Parseltongue?

Besides, who dares to jump out and admit that they are Voldemort's descendants? Afraid that the survivors of the past can't find anyone to take revenge, right?
