Ashes of Hogwarts

Wiltshire.

In front of the ancient manor, Ash stood quietly with a cane.

It has been ten days since he returned from China, which is exactly the middle of summer vacation.

Ash didn't come to Malfoy Manor on a whim.

In fact, he only remembered this when he heard Hermione talking about her diary while having dinner at Granger's house.

Tom Riddle's diary - one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

If the plot flow is followed, it would have been secretly placed on Ginny's body by Lucius Malfoy in Diagon Alley, causing the basilisk to run rampant in Hogwarts.

Could Ash allow this to happen?

No!

As one of the professors at Hogwarts, Ash must nip danger in the bud.So he came directly to Malfoy Manor before the accident and took the diary from Lucius.

He will not admit that this is a plot deviation caused by his arrival.

Finally, a thin figure walked out of the gloomy manor.He looked stupid, and there was still drool on his clothes.

Yazi doesn't seem to have a very high IQ.

"Mr. Malfoy, please come in."

Speech is unclear, but I can barely understand it.

Ash was a little stunned that these purebloods were so blatantly using the Imperius Curse.

Or do you want to demonstrate to me in this way?

"The person who came here is not a good person!" Ash wanted to laugh.

"You are the one who came."

???

Say it again, because you are a fool, I promise not to beat you to death.

Without paying much attention to what a fool said, Ash walked towards the door not far away.

Lucius actually didn't welcome Ash's visit.Although his son admired this professor very much and regarded him as the strongest person in Hogwarts.

Lucius just wants to laugh, you kid has no idea how powerful Dumbledore is.

But this did not prevent him from standing at the door with his son to greet Professor Losric.

Because Ash accidentally broke his protective barrier when he passed by it. The father and son who were still drinking coffee on the coffee table were frightened and immediately came to the door to wait respectfully.

How is he so strong?

Lucius Malfoy winked at his son.

I told you before, but you don’t believe me.

Draco winked at his father.

Can I join in your conversation?

The father and son were startled, and then they realized that Ash was already standing in front of them.

"Oh, you are very welcome, Professor Losric."

Lucius couldn't help but give up. After all, whether it was his own son or the descendants of other pure-blood families, the Ash they said was a powerful and evil-hearted guy.

This is different from Dumbledore, the old guy who smiles all day long but stabs you in the back. He will directly take out his giant sword and slap you on the head.

"Don't worry Mr. Malfoy, I haven't hit anyone with my giant sword for a long time." Ash smiled weirdly.

"Oh, really, then..." Lucius raised his head in horror.

When did he use ingestion of divine thoughts on himself.

"We shouldn't stand at the door all the time. Father, why don't you invite Professor Losric into the room for a cup of tea." Draco held Ash's hand. He had been listening since he was frustrated in the first practical class. As for Ash, I have a good relationship with him.

"Please come in, Professor Losric." Lucius finally came to his senses and invited Ash into the room in a panic.

In the simple and elegant living room, a house elf served three cups of tea.

Ash took a look and saw that he was too old, so he definitely wasn't Dobby.

"I never thought that Hogwarts could produce such an outstanding professor." Lucius sat on a luxurious dark green sofa, the teacup he held shaking up and down with his trembling hands.

"My son admires you very much. He often tells me how powerful and generous you are. You know how rare it is for a family like ours to praise a non-pure-blood wizard like this."

Ash felt that Lucius was not a very talkative guy.

No one with brains would pretend that they are pure blood and you are all rubbish when they are in a weak position.

"Strong people always have their own unique charm, such as Dumbledore, me, and Tom Riddle."

Ash raised the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Too much sugar."

A look of panic flashed across Lucius's face, but he quickly hid it perfectly.

"Don't mention sinners like Voldemort. After all, he has disappeared from this world."

"Don't you know?" Ash looked a little surprised. "That guy left behind several so-called Horcruxes before he died. They can be regarded as clones of his soul. As long as the Horcruxes are not destroyed, he will not really die. .”

Lucius's expression was ugly.He was one of the first people to defect after the Dark Lord fell. If Voldemort really resurrected, he would be unlucky. The best case scenario would be to become a dog again.

How do you say that? One mistake will lead to eternal regret.

But he had to pretend to be calm in front of Ash. After all, it was not a secret that he was once a Death Eater.

"So what is the purpose of Mr. Lothric's visit? After all, we have nothing to do with Voldemort. I believe that even if Voldemort comes back, there will be an outstanding wizard like Mr. Lothric to fight against him, so..."

"So, hand me the diary." Ash looked at Lucius and said with a smile, "I don't think I need to describe anything, you should know that thing."

Lucius's hand clenched instantly, and his thick joints turned pale, just like his bloodless vampire face.

His lips trembled as he tried to say something.

"Is that diary a Horcrux?" Lucius was a little crazy. He knew there was something wrong with that thing, but he didn't expect it to be such a big problem.

"To be precise," Ash raised a finger and raised his eyebrows proudly: "It's just one of them. Believe me, I have a lot of experience in handling it, or you can hand it to Dumbledore the same way. of."

Lucius struggled for a long time and finally sighed helplessly.He left the drawing room and disappeared into the corridor.

"Professor Lothric, is it really possible for Voldemort to be resurrected?" Draco finally had the chance to speak. His upbringing did not allow him to arrange flowers while his father was talking to the professor.

"Of course there is a chance. After all, gods also take naps. I can't guarantee that no accidents will happen." Ash has been a lot gentler towards Draco, even though this kid is in Slytherin and was eliminated from the whole house very early.

"Then you will definitely deal with him by then. After all, you are so powerful. Principal Dumbledore said that he is no match for you." After receiving Ash's answer, Draco was a little anxious, "A bad guy like Voldemort, he After doing so many bad things, he also killed Harry’s parents and those damn Death Eaters..."

"Don't worry Draco, Voldemort is just trivial. If you want to be my opponent, you must at least be the legendary God of Death."

In terms of strength, Ash has never intimidated anyone.

Finally, Lucius came back holding a black wooden box, and he placed the box next to Ash.

"Please, don't mention it to anyone else."

Nodding, Ash took the quaint black diary in the box.

Sensing the familiar soul fluctuations inside, he knew that Lucius had not deceived him with fake goods.

There are several letters in the book.

Tom Riddle.

Ash grinned.

"See you again, little Tom."
