Hogwarts card wizard

Chapter 361 The Shock Caused by a Horse

The story Dumbledore tells is not complicated.

The story happened a long time ago, around 1920.

Great Hangleton is a Muggle village in which lives a family called the Gaunts.The Gaunt family has lived in Great Hangleton for a long time, perhaps even before the appearance of Great Hangleton.

But being around long doesn't mean being popular, especially with the Gaunts at the time.The villagers of Greater Hangleton did not like this family, because the family of three seemed strange to the villagers of Greater Hangleton.

Marvolo Gunter, an old man with a strange figure and a strange temper, the villagers called him "the fierce old monkey".

His son, Morfin Gaunt, is a disgusting existence whenever he looks at him.His thick hair always hides a thick layer of dirt, and even old Henry, the dung scooper in the village, is cleaner than him.

There are a few teeth missing from the mouth, and the two small black eyes are squinting at people, making people feel like a wretched thief.

Daughter Merope Gunter, she may be the most normal person in the Gunter family, at least compared to his brother and father.

Merope was plain-looking, and her father beat and scolded her, but the people in the village didn't feel sorry for him because of that.

If possible, the villagers hope that the Gaunt family will stay away from Great Hangleton, but no one dares to do so, because everyone has rumors that the Gaunt family has similar curse methods.

In the eyes of the villagers of Great Hangleton, the Gaunt family is eccentric in every way, and they seem out of place with the surroundings.But in another world they don't know, the surname "Gunter" in the world of magic has a very special meaning.

The Gaunt family, an ancient pure-blood family, is known for being restless and violent.But the most widely known is the Gaunt family, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, the only surviving descendants of Salazar Slytherin.

Like many pure-blood families, the Gaunt family has intermarried for generations in order to maintain the so-called pure blood.However, wizards have special abilities that Muggles do not, but wizards are also human beings.

There is also a thing called dna in their blood. Marriage between close relatives is obviously for the better continuation of the family, but the fact is that the more it is like this, the faster it will decline.

In Marvolo's generation, only he and his two sons and daughters remained in the Gaunt family.His ancestors also lived in extravagance, but the wealth left to him is the legendary surname and the "pure blood".

The protagonist of the story is the only normal Merope Gunter in the Gunter family.

There is another village called Little Hangleton 4 or 5 kilometers away from Greater Hangleton.

There is also a well-known family in Little Hangleton, the Riddles.

The Riddles have nothing to do with wizarding magic, at least not until the story begins.But the Riddle family is very rich, and almost all the land in Little Hangleton belongs to this family.

But Mr Riddle's popularity rivaled that of Marvolo Gaunt.Mr. Riddle was a great landowner, and a landowner of the "old society."From this we can know the attitude of the villagers of Little Hangleton towards him.

But Mr. Riddle, the great landowner, had a very handsome son, Tom Riddle.

A handsome young man with black hair!

In that era, even in the British Empire, people's entertainment life could not be compared with Kevin's era.

Coupled with living in the countryside, the boring life made the young Tom Riddle very bored, so he often went to nearby villages to play, or went out to hunt.

On this day, Tom Riddle went hunting on a tall horse, but he caught very few prey.Feeling bored, Tom Riddle let his horse move freely.

If the black steed had changed its direction, or even stayed on the road for a few minutes, nothing would have happened in the future.

But the reality is so interesting, even if there is blood in the fun, the pace of a horse directly affects the two wizarding battles in the future.

Dark Horse brought Tom Riddle to Little Hangleton.

Just at the entrance of the village of Little Hangleton, Tom Riddle, the handsome man of the Riddle family, and Merope Gaunt, the daughter of the legendary wizard family's squib, met.

Hearing this, Kevin thought it would be the old routine of love at first sight!

But reality is reality, and a good-looking young man from a wealthy family will not fall in love at first sight with an ordinary weird girl from a down-and-out family.

But women are another matter.

It just confirmed the joke of later generations: Boys must be careful when going out.

Merope met the handsome Tom Riddle and fell in love on the spot. If Merope was just an ordinary Muggle girl, perhaps this love at first sight would only become the unrequited love of a farm girl.

Even if it continues to develop, at best it will be a news headline like "Shock! The peasant girl is unscrupulous, and the handsome landlord is brutally murdered!".

Only innocent Tom Riddle would be hurt, but far too many would survive.

Out of fear of his father, Merope didn't dare to take any action at this time, but would go to the Great Hangleton every day to secretly watch his sweetheart.

But this scene of unrequited love was discovered by her brother Morfin Gunter, and Morfin did not live up to the traitor face given to him by the sky, so he turned around and told his father Marvolo about it.

Marvolo has always been proud of pure blood, and proud of Gaunt.How could he tolerate his daughter getting together with a lowly Muggle.

So the uncle attacked Tom Riddle with his son indiscriminately.

Kevin could imagine Tom Riddle's state of mind at that time, and he was absolutely stunned!

Where is this!

How could he be crowned as a witch who kidnapped a good family? He probably didn't even know who Merope was at that time.

But the more stupid ones are yet to come. The Ministry of Magic knows that some wizards are attacking innocent Muggles, which can be tolerated.Immediately, Aurors were sent to capture Gaunt and his son, and Marvolo did not live up to his violent temper. He even attacked the police and resisted. After being subdued, he was imprisoned in Azkaban with his son.

After that, Merope, who had been under the weight of her father, regained her freedom, and she found that the only obstacle between herself and her lover disappeared.

So she used the love potion left by her father to make Tom Riddle madly infatuated with her, and even eloped.

Only a few months later, Merope was pregnant with Tom's child. If Merope continued to take the love potion for Tom, maybe she would have a good life. Loved ones live together.

But Merope couldn't stand relying on magic to control her lover. She felt that the child in her belly would make her lover understand everything she had done.

So she made an extremely stupid decision!

Do not continue to use the love potion.

The result was beyond her expectation, Tom Riddle left Merope without hesitation after waking up.

Only then did Merope realize how naive and stupid he was!

The loss of her lover made her feel very sad, but at the same time, it also made her realize the reality.Instead of going back and begging Tom, Merope came to London alone and gave birth to a boy.

Things have come to a critical point here. If Merope raises this child, perhaps a great wizard will appear in the magical world in the near future, and she may also survive because of her child.

Not just her, many innocent lives will be saved.

But after Merope gave birth to the child, it was either out of pessimism about love, or because of the poor living environment.

She eventually sent the child to Wood's Orphanage in London, naming him Tom Marvolo Riddle before leaving.

Not long after this Merope Gaunt also left this world.

And her child, Tom Marvolo Riddle, became an existence that the entire wizarding world feared many years later, and just like Tom Riddle abandoned him at the beginning, he firmly and resolutely abandoned this mother to get him a name.

Voldemort has appeared in the world, and the dark hour of the wizarding world will finally come!
