HP in the name of Slytherin

Tom and Catherine have been carefully observing Abraxas's situation, and Catherine is mainly worried that there will be a problem with the flow of his magic power and harming himself and Lucius.

Tom felt a little guilty...

As Voldemort's split soul, he knew the main soul's personality very well. He even hated Catherine, let alone Abraxas, who was so excellent in all aspects. Voldemort's feelings towards him were also very complicated. This kind of secret and unspeakable emotion, mixed with jealousy, contempt, envy and love, could not be truly understood by anyone except himself.

What did Voldemort do to Abraxas later?

From Lucius's perspective, Voldemort has been a dangerous partner of their family since his appearance.

An extremely powerful, extremely ambitious, and extremely fierce dark wizard.

The adult Abraxas viewed this cooperation as walking a tightrope. At first, he really wanted a win-win situation and achieved a win-win situation. But gradually, after realizing Voldemort's secrets and because he secretly sought power for the Malfoy family, Abraxas began to be wary of him.

There was no regret, because even the 13-year-old Abraxas could see that when Voldemort chose the Malfoy family, the Malfoy family had no choice.

In the eyes of outsiders, even Lucius, the Malfoy family had a transcendent status among the Death Eaters and indeed got what they deserved.

His father wasn't sorry for Voldemort, he just didn't work that hard in some of his inexplicable plans.

They each seemed to have their own reasons, but they also echoed what Abraxas said: We have all grown up and have our own things to consider.

If his political investment failed and he was suppressed as a result, or if he had to pay back double what he had received, or even be forced to leave his hometown and start over from scratch... Lucius wouldn't think there was any problem.

Those who are good at swimming drown in water, and those who are good at fighting die in battle. The Malfoy family has been doing this all year round, enjoying it and taking it for granted. If it fails, they will admit it.

But how could Voldemort use unfair means to forcibly control Abraxas and then use such an extreme method to insult him? ! As a son, Lucius couldn't help but watch his father be so humiliated, yet he was still strangely willing - that was not his father at all!

Abraxas never thought that one day, he would kneel at the feet of anyone, bark like a dog, be stepped on like an object, and willingly lick the corners of the other person's robe with a face full of intoxication.

He is Abraxas Malfoy!

Seeing this memory of Lucius, Abraxas' Legilimency was frightened and interrupted.

Not only scared, but also vaguely nauseated...

"How could I do that?!" He is a Malfoy!

Even if the situation is not as good as others and you lose, you can't do this to anyone!

Abraxas looked Lucius up and down. Due to his excitement, he could not calm down and continue Legilimency for the time being. He couldn't bear it anymore and simply asked: "Are you threatened?"

Lucius probably knew what Abraxas meant, pursed his lips and shook his head: "No, Dad... I was at Hogwarts the whole time."

"Then how could I do that?" Abraxas couldn't understand. Unless Lucius, the only remaining member of the Malfoy family, was threatened, how could he endure the humiliation and bear the burden to such an extent.

Catherine glanced at Tom, who was sitting on pins and needles, and said, "About this, that's exactly what I want to tell you."

Lucius probably knew that Voldemort had some weird ways of controlling people's hearts, but Catherine had not given him the real explanation yet.

The father and son looked at Catherine together, and Abraxas said very restrainedly: "Please speak."

Even with only the memories of a 13-year-old, Abraxas would not have lost the reputation of the Malfoy family.

Catherine briefly explained the new magic of the magic field to the two of them, emphasizing that the person being controlled has no self-awareness in this regard.

"...the thoughts of the caster will be prioritized to the greatest extent. Only when the caster does not give explicit orders or does not go against the interests of the caster, will the subject have his own subjective consciousness."

Therefore, Abraxas's performance at that time completely reflected Voldemort's thoughts on him.

It was Voldemort's subconscious mind that controlled Abraxas to do those incredible things that were completely out of character for the head of the Malfoy family.

In this area of ​​research, Catherine has more say than Voldemort.

But doesn’t this mean that Voldemort is deliberately humiliating Abraxas?

Lucius glanced at Tom subconsciously. It was hard to imagine why two people who were so good friends when they were young would treat each other like this when they grew up.

He didn't know, and Abraxas, who had only seen fragments of their memories, wouldn't know.

"Tom..." Abraxas wanted to ask for a moment why he would do this when he grew up.

But when he saw Tom sitting quietly next to him, knowing that he had discovered this, he still stayed with him quietly. Tom now looked like he was only 11 or 12 years old.

Abraxas suddenly remembered something more important: "I was hit by a magic field, what about you, Tom? How did you become like this?"

And if Tom was by his side, what was Voldemort?

"I...had an accident." Tom looked into Abraxas's gray-blue eyes.

The Malfoy family has always had good genes. Abraxas was a beautiful boy since he was a child, and he grew up to be an extraordinary and handsome man.

Catherine's pupils are also gray-blue, but that gray-blue is an inorganic gray that occasionally becomes too dead after being washed away by forbidden magic.

Abraxas prefers a blue that is as clear and warm as water. The little bit of gray is like a shoal on the edge of an abyss, which does not make people immediately fear that they will drown in it.

It is more like a silent temptation, a treasure waiting to be picked. There is an abyss ahead, but when anyone quietly looks at the head of the Malfoy family, they will have a desire... Even if there is hell ahead, they want to get closer and take a look.

Only treat Tom.

When the 13-year-old Abraxas faced him with a perfect body in his 40s, the abyss was no longer dangerous.

He opens everything to him, always gentle, penetrating, and yearning.

It was as if the abyss turned into the clean sky and clear wind on the snow-capped mountains, carrying all the purity and beauty, coming for him.

"I'm sorry," Tom did not choose to deceive Abraxas like this. He confessed, "I'm sorry... I am the soul that was left at the age of 15 after being cut by him."

Abraxas frowned slightly, obviously not understanding, "But you look only 11 years old now, 12 years old at most?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously poked the back of Tom's hand affectionately, "And it looks like it has its own body."

"Catherine used magic to help me get the body." Tom said.

He could just dump everything on Voldemort. At the age of 15, he really hadn't done anything to hurt Abraxas, and Tom thought he wouldn't hurt Abraxas either.

But just now, out of curiosity, he used Abraxas' Legilimency to secretly use Legilimency on Lucius and saw... everything Voldemort did to Abraxas.

There is no way Voldemort can apologize to Abraxas...

Tom, who has a similar soul to him, feels...

Abraxas needed this apology.

"I'm really sorry." He lowered his eyes. After what happened to Catherine, he once again deeply, deeply loathed "himself" as Voldemort.

That, it seems, is not him at all.

"Tom, you..." Abraxas tilted his head slightly and looked at Tom who was not looking at him seriously, "You are not the grown-up Voldemort, why do you have to apologize for him?"

He took Tom's hand gently.

Both Tom and Lucius seemed to become sad all of a sudden.

Abraxas also found it difficult to accept the "self" in his memory.

To be precise, he suddenly "travelled" from the age of 13 to his forties, and now he feels like he is dreaming.

But seeing everyone's sad looks, he cheered up and smiled, "Don't apologize for things you haven't done. I'm not the Abraxas I grew up with."

Thinking about it this way...

Abraxas took Tom's hand and shook it happily. This time he was really happy, "We are really good friends, Tom. You are a 15-year-old soul and an 11-year-old body. I am a 13-year-old soul." , um... 4... 44 body?!"

He suddenly muttered in a very un-Malfoy voice: "I'm really at a loss in this way!"

Tom looked at Abraxas, who was muttering indifferently with his eyes wide open, and couldn't laugh or cry.

Who would have thought that the head of the Malfoy family, who would always twist his tongue when he grew up, would have such a personality when he was 13 years old!

But in Tom's memory, the Abraxas he was familiar with had such a personality.

"It's okay..." He dryly tried to comfort his good friend who was suddenly getting older.

Catherine, who was silent for a long time, suddenly said: "It's not impossible for you to become the 11-year-old you you are."

Tom:! ! !

Lucius:? ? ?

Abraxas said in surprise: "Is it really possible?!"
