Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephis picked up the diary, and there was no trace of magical fluctuations on it.

As for the shadow that swallowed the diary, why did it also swallow up Voldemort's soul within it.

Hephis couldn't understand this either.

He carefully looked at the memories of Voldemort's youth, or should I say the memories of those sixteen years.

Voldemort, whose real name was Tom Marvolo Riddle.

His mother, Merope Gaunt, was a descendant of Salazar Slytherin.

His father, Tom Riddle, was an ordinary Muggle, and was a handsome, wealthy, and second-generation rich man in the local area.

The subsequent plot is quite bloody.

Merope fell deeply in love with the Muggle man.

But Tom's heart is not with her, and Tom already has someone he likes.

So Merope used a love potion to make Tom leave his original lover and fall in love with herself.

After they eloped, they spent a short sweet time together.

However, when Merope became pregnant, she didn't want to live this false life anymore.

And she thought Tom had fallen in love with her, so she stopped using the love drugs.

But reality is always cruel.

When Tom came to his senses, he chose to abandon his wife and children without hesitation.

Finally on that cold New Year's Eve in 1926.

Merope gave birth to Voldemort alone in front of an orphanage in London, England.

She left her child's name and chose to die.

After all, as a witch, it is actually quite difficult to die in childbirth, and it is more likely that Merope's heart is dead.

As Hephis recalled this memory, his anger level was obviously rising.

The sofas he made had cracks on them and might collapse at any time.

Voldemort grew up day by day, and life in the orphanage was so simple and plain.

From being bullied to becoming the bully.

In the process, he discovered that he possessed some special powers.

He can talk to snakes and even bring bad luck to people directly.

This caused him to be feared, hated and isolated by the people in the orphanage, and also led to his somewhat extreme personality.

In fact, there was still hope for salvation, but the appearance of Dumbledore pushed Voldemort into deeper darkness.

Voldemort began to believe that magic is power and magic is might.

He believed that the powerful could dominate the weak at will and issue orders without asking why.

Later, Voldemort entered Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin House.

He studied hard in school, was eager for knowledge, and showed great courtesy and good manners.

His handsome appearance and excellent performance won the praise of teachers.

After consulting a lot of information, he learned that Parseltongue was a unique talent of the Slytherin family.

This made him proud of his noble bloodline.

At the same time, he also felt a deep disgust for his father's Muggle ancestry.

Thus was born a crazed purist.

In fifth grade, he found the secret room.

He not only found a lot of valuable information in the secret room.

He also used snake magic to control the basilisk and killed a girl.

This act of murder caused him to split his soul for the first time, which he stored in his diary, creating the first Horcrux.

Due to the death of several students, Hogwarts is facing the risk of closure.

Voldemort had to stop temporarily and found a scapegoat, Rubeus Hagrid.

Finally, he stored his image and complete memory of events when he was 16 years old in the diary, both as a commemoration and to facilitate opening the secret room again.

No wonder Voldemort kept saying: Hephesus is very similar to him.

Also an orphan.

Also mixed blood.

I have also suffered bullying and cold-shouldering.

After awakening the same ability, choose revenge.

Also came to Hogwarts.

Also entered Slytherin.

Equally ambitious.

Also desire to be strong.

The same disregard for life.

However, the difference is that Hephis has someone he likes by his side.

He also has a teacher who always protects him.

But what's with this strong feeling of sympathy?

Hephis actually felt some sympathy for Voldemort and even began to understand some of his choices.

When faced with bullying, can't we fight back?

And rather than saying that Voldemort hates Muggle-bloods, it is more accurate to say that he hates his father who abandoned his wife and children.

As for why Voldemort later turned into a socket egg.

Hephis guessed that it might be to remove the half of the blood in the body that belonged to his father.

He couldn't help but imagine if Dumbledore could give Voldemort fatherly love and trust.

Just like... just like Snape did to him, maybe...

Hephis shook his head, probably this was the sequelae of the soul fusion.

He could feel the swelling sensation brought about by the fusion of souls, and the strength of his soul almost doubled.

He burned the diary that had lost its soul.

Given Voldemort's personality, it is impossible that he only created one Horcrux.

He could try to look for it, after all, this thing is really nutritious.

Soon he will be able to proceed to the next step of his plan.

But adapting to the new body was much more difficult than Hephis had expected.

"boom……"

"Hephis, what's wrong with you?" Professor McGonagall replaced Hephis's snuff bottle with a new one, with some reproach.

"Uh... Professor, my magic power has been a little hard to control lately." Hephis scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Take your time and carefully feel the flow of magic in your body. Perhaps you can practice with something small first."

She took out a box of matches from the drawer next to her and handed it to Hephis with a smile, "Maybe turning matches into needles is more suitable for you."

Hephis reluctantly took three, four, five, six, seven, eight matches from Professor McGonagall.

"boom……"

"boom……"

"boom……"

The other little wizards all cast strange looks at him.

"Draco, laugh if you want to. Don't hold it back."

Hephis looked at Draco with disdain, his mouth almost stretched to his ears.

"Haha... sorry, haha..." Draco couldn't help but covered his mouth and laughed out loud.

Hefeth rolled his eyes and said, "If you laugh again, I won't watch the game this weekend."

Draco immediately shut up. He could show off in front of someone he approved of, but he didn't want to let it go.

It was not until the end of get out of class that Hephis managed to prevent the match from exploding, but it was still a long way from turning into a needle.

Professor McGonagall encouraged Hephesus again.

She could feel that there was no problem with the flow of Hephis's own magic power.

It's just that when it's finally performed, there will be chaos.

Snape could only find a solution to this problem. After all, if she helped, she might be stared at by Snape with death.

And Hermione was getting weirder and weirder.

Except for sitting with Hephis during class, she was rarely seen at other times.

Not only did he become less talkative, but he also always looked like he was worried about something.

I really don’t know what’s wrong with this little girl.
