HP: The New God from Hogwarts

Chapter 107 Gaunt’s Old House

The evening sky was grey-blue, with dead branches twisting like the arms of an inferi. Deep in the overgrown weeds was an old house, with gray wall tiles covered with ivy and the eaves leaving traces of erosion over time.

Gunter's old house is a familiar yet strange house.

"Do the uncle and grandfather you killed also live here?" Taowu stood outside the dilapidated iron gate, looking at the Gaunt clan emblem on the rusty bronze medal in the no longer bright light.

"No, the old Gunter house was mortgaged because those lunatics spent all their money. They and Merope Gunter live in a shabby wooden house in Little Hangleton. They only deserve to live there. Plant a place.”

Tom took a step forward, touched the rusty bronze medal with his slender fingers, then pulled it off the door hanger with force, and threw it to the ground with disdain.

"Then why is the Gaunt family's logo still hanging?" Taowu looked at the nameplate that fell into the dust.

"Because that man named Ominis Gaunt redeemed this ancestral house. That shameless guy Marvolo Gaunt once tried to move back and took Slytherin's locket and his black The gemstone ring is placed here.”

Tom withdrew his gaze towards the gloomy old house, took out a white handkerchief from Taowu's pocket, wiped his hands, and turned his gaze to her face.

"Slytherin's locket was stolen by you and the traitor Regulus Black, but he may have turned into a heatless inferi now."

Taowu raised her eyebrows and looked at the handkerchief stained with yellowish brown rust spots in disgust: "With your character, when you came here to get the ring and locket, you didn't kill the only living person. Very strange."

"He is an outlier of the Gaunt family, very interesting." Tom pushed open the iron door that had been rusted by years of wind and rain. The hinges had aged and made a squeaking sound.

He walked in front, using magic to cut off the weeds and dead branches that blocked the road. Tao Wu followed behind him, walking through the passage he had just cleared.

"Tell me, are there still people living here?"

Tom stopped, looked at the dark windows, and shook his head: "I think that Mr. Gunter must have passed away after so many years. After all, he is older than Dumbledore."

Walking to the door of the building, when Tom was about to open it with Alajo, the door opened backwards by itself.

A pair of big black eyes poked out from behind the door. It was a very old female elf. She raised her head and looked at Tom, her eyes as big as pigeon eggs were covered with mist.

"Is it Master Tom?"

Tom was obviously stunned for a moment. He looked down at the elf at his feet and asked tentatively: "Wendy?"

The elf's skinny hand touched his heart and looked at Tom excitedly: "Master Tom still remembers Wendy. Wendy is so happy. The last time I saw you was forty-five years ago... "

Wendy talked nonchalantly, tears flowing out of her huge eyes like running water, almost like she could not control her tears. She seemed to truly love Tom.

"Wipe it." Taowu handed the handkerchief that had been cleaned and turned white again to Wendy.

Wendy covered her heart, with tears still hanging in the gully on her face. She raised her head and looked at Taowu in disbelief: "Oh, beautiful lady, besides Master Tom and Master Ominis, you are the best to Wendy. People."

Taowu opened his mouth, are all the elves so abstract? Dobby, who loves to harm himself, and Wendy, who loves himself and is moved to tears.

"Tom is nice to you?"

Wendy held the handkerchief handed over by Taowu with both hands and covered the whole handkerchief on her face: "Yes, Master Tom is different from Mr. Marvolo and Mr. Morfin. Every time he comes here to visit Ou When Master Minnis was a child, he would always bring Wendy’s favorite baked egg cheese flame cake.”

The corner of Taowu's mouth twitched. This was very inconsistent with Tom's character. She looked at the indifferent young man next to her in disbelief.

He actually visits an old man who lives alone, and even brings desserts to an elf he despises.

Wendy took the handkerchief off her face, twisted it gently, and the water was squeezed out. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Taowu: "Are you a friend of Master Tom?"

Momo nodded: "Yes, hello Wendy, I am Luna."

"Wendy shouldn't let Master Tom and Miss Luna stand at the door. Please come in."

The old elf took a step back, made way for them, and welcomed them into the door.

There was a smell of mold growth in the house, and the shoes made a crunching sound on the old and rotten wooden boards, which was particularly obvious in the empty and silent room.

"Wendy, are there guests?"

A clear and gentle male voice came down the stairs from the second floor. Taowu looked up with a puzzled expression.

Wendy ran to the stairs and replied to the top: "Yes, Master Tom is here with his friends. You may not believe it, but he is just the same as he was decades ago!"

"Ask them to come up."

All the windows were nailed shut and no outside light could penetrate. Wendy took down a dim kerosene lamp from the wall, stepped onto the stairs, turned around and said to them: "Master Tom, Miss Luna, please come with me." .”

Taowu followed Wendy, the wooden stairs creaked, and the dim light swayed in Wendy's hands.

She remembered an afternoon many years ago.

A lot of golden sunlight shines through the glass layers of the window and shines on the smooth pine wood stairs. The brown-haired boy is sitting on the steps and reading the magic spells in the book. He tilts his head and explains to the silver-haired girl next to him. The spell, the warm sun shines on his bright smile.

The young man standing behind him had a layer of white covering his pupils, as if wrapped in a mysterious veil. His eyes were unfocused and empty, but his smile was gentle.

That was their youth.

Even though they have their own agendas.

The grass and trees are ashes, and the false beauty painted by inferior oil paints eventually peels off.

The handrail of the stairs was engraved in English with a heartbreaking spell, which Sebastian had carved with his wand.

Taowu's fingers gently brushed over the dented marks. How long had it been since she had seen Ominis?

Probably since she learned all the dark magic, reported Sebastian, and sent him to Azkaban.

Since then, she has never seen the beautiful young master of the Gaunt family again.

"Please come in."

Wendy opened the door to the room. The room was dark, and someone was sitting at the table not far away.

With the light dancing in Wendy's hand, Taowu could clearly see that delicate face.

Ominis Gaunt.

He looks the same as he did a hundred years ago.
