HP in the name of Slytherin

Does Voldemort dare? The answer is obvious. He cherishes his life so much. Having Catherine is enough for him to be wary. If there is Tom, he will never consume magic power on that occasion. It is very likely that he will not even dare to use a large-scale magic field. .

——No shame, Voldemort has always been so cautious.

"Then you should take Tom to the banquet to meet people first," Dumbledore compromised. "Now the Ministry of Magic is all Voldemort's people. If I take Tom to register for identity, I will probably disturb you if I am accidentally discovered. plan of."

"Well, Tom will live with me from now on and come directly to Hogwarts after school starts. There is nothing Voldemort can do to him."

After the two "adults" communicated like this, little Tom sat aside obediently throughout the whole process. Haierbo was starving just now and only recovered after eating everything in the bag.

Fortunately, this is Hogwarts. Donuts hurried over to replenish its food supply. Tom enthusiastically helped Helbo pass the plate. He loved this little basilisk that his sisters liked. With careful attention, he quickly figured out Haierbo's food preferences.

I like to eat, but I don’t like to eat the same taste all the time. If I eat a few mouthfuls of meat, I have to change it to some fruits or vegetables, and if I eat a few more mouthfuls, I want to change it to something with a strong taste. After eating for a while, I have to eat desserts or drinks... In short, it is a condition. If there are enough kinds of food, the little basilisk will be happy.

Now he completely listens to what he says, and immediately gives him whatever he wants to eat. Except for donuts, it turns out to be this annoying little wizard in front of him. Haierbo expressed that he is very confused.

When leaving Dumbledore's office, Halpo was still wrapped around Catherine's neck and said coquettishly: "You did a good job, but don't think that Mr. Halpo will like you." 】

Tom's dark eyes were smiling, not angry at all: [It's okay, I like Haierbo. 】

The little basilisk stuck out its tongue blankly, turned around and got into Catherine's pocket and ignored him.

Catherine touched Halbo's head in a funny way: [Strictly speaking, Halbo is also Tom's brother. Don't be shy. It's normal for Tom to like you. Halbo is the cutest little basilisk. 】

Haierbo: [! ! Should this little wizard be called Brother Haierbo? 】

Tom: [Helbo is the cutest little basilisk, so am I the cutest little brother? 】

Catherine:…

[Yes, yes, all. 】

The basilisk and his brother were both satisfied. Sometimes it suddenly gave them a headache, but it was easy to coax.

"Let's go to Diagon Alley to buy Tom a wand first. When we have time, I'll teach you how to make your own," Catherine said as she led Tom out, "We in the Slytherin family all make our own wands." 】

In the past, Voldemort chose his wand. When Catherine had something to do that day, he chose not to wait for Catherine and went to buy his own things. This was later noted by the petty Voldemort, who thought that Catherine was hypocritical and did not really care about him... In fact, all the money Voldemort had on him at the time was given by Catherine.

Now Tom is only happy that Catherine will accompany him. Walking the same path again, but with a completely different mentality and situation, makes the feeling of rebirth even more obvious.

Tom's beautiful black eyes turned into crescents when he smiled, "I will study hard!" 】

Catherine spoke to Donut again and asked her to tell Severus that they were leaving first.

This time I went to Diagon Alley not only to help Tom get a new wand, but also to find a suitable shop, which could be rented for a long time or bought, so that Severus could start preparing the potion after returning from vacation. You can open a store during the summer vacation of your senior year.

Severus would feel better if he had something he liked more to distract himself from and could support himself at the same time, leaving his family completely.

First, they disapparate back to Helbo Castle. Young Master Tom is moving in, and Amy has to help him prepare a new room.

After having lunch in the castle, Tom was given a magic cloak that Catherine made when she went to Knockturn Alley to do business, so that outsiders could not skip her senses to check on Tom's condition.

Taking Herbo's snack bag with them and preparing everything, the two of them apparated to Diagon Alley again.

As the most prosperous commercial street in the British wizarding world, the real Diagon Alley is actually very long. Many first-line brands in the wizarding world have their head offices here. Some shops with special business will give priority to Diagon Alley if they only have one store. Set up a home, like Ollivander's Wand Shop.

However, the atmosphere in Diagon Alley this year is different from usual. After several incidents in which marrow wizards and mixed-race wizards were attacked, people now like to wear magic cloaks with confusion spells on them when they come to Diagon Alley.

Catherine and Tom wearing cloaks are not out of place here. Nowadays, those who dare to reveal their full faces in Diagon Alley are definitely members of the pure-blooded family. Others, even if they are also pure-blooded, as long as they do not want to get into trouble, They will deliberately hide themselves.

Most wizards were in a hurry, and there were very few children around. It was clearly close to Christmas, but there were no special decorations on the streets. Only the corresponding products were placed in the shops... because if they were placed on the streets, they would be eaten by death. If you are just "performing official duties", it will probably be destroyed and you will not be compensated. People may also accuse you of deliberately obstructing them and come in to "search" the store.

[It seems a lot more deserted here. ] Tom whispered to Catherine in snake language.

He had never seen such a strange Diagon Alley. The atmosphere was more like the Knockturn Alley he had secretly visited before.

[It's settled now,] Catherine said, [In the past two months, the Death Eaters have taken control of the Ministry of Magic and they have stopped coming to the streets to "demonstrate" very much. 】

Tom looked at the people who hurriedly apparated away as soon as they left the store, as if there were monsters chasing them behind them, and pursed his lips... This was not what he had imagined when he went shopping with Catherine for the first time.

"I don't like this," he said dissatisfiedly, "What on earth did Voldemort do?" 】

[I can show you the newspapers and intelligence I collected when I get back.] Catherine took Tom's hand and said, [Take a good look here, Tom, to see if this is the world we want to see. 】

No need to read any further, as soon as he landed and took a few steps, Tom already didn't like this place.

[There used to be a lot of stalls selling magic candies here.] Tom pointed to the empty street corner and then pointed to a three-story shop at the intersection. [The vanilla cups in this cold drink shop seem to be delicious. I heard from other My classmates said it. 】

In his memory, there were many people in Diagon Alley every time he came there. Voldemort didn't like it very much, but Tom liked it.

In the scene he imagined, he and Catherine would be very happy shopping here, eating desserts, and drinking afternoon tea.

Now add a Haierbo, it likes to eat so much, it will definitely like it too.

But now there is nothing. The cold drink shop has even closed and put up a sign for transfer.

[Let’s look at the magic wand first. ] Catherine patted him.

Tom nodded a little disappointedly: [Okay. 】

He felt as if a large chunk of his memory had been dug out, and his heart was empty.
