[Comprehensive British and American] The Dark Lord's Growth History

? Abraxas had just dreamed of his boyhood.In Hogwarts, the eternal castle, he walked alone on the moving steps.He seemed to be a boy of 16 or 7 years old, wearing Hogwarts school robes, with a Slytherin silver and green collar shining around his neck.He was holding a book in his hand, probably going to class.In the portraits on the walls of the castle nearby, the figures scurry back and forth, and one of them is a knight in a feathered helmet riding a white horse rampage through a garden.And as he turned off the stairs and turned into a corridor, Abraxas saw a boy.

Black curly hair, dark brown eyes, holding a second-hand textbook in his hand, but his expression is humble and proud, as if he is not a half-breed, but the king of the wizarding world.At that time, Tom Riddle was only in the second grade, but the Slytherins in the lower grades had already obeyed him.Abraxas Malfoy had never paid attention to this mixed-race boy before. If Merlin determines everyone's magical talent, then his background will divide people into grades from the beginning. Abraxas, who was born with a family background and a talent for magic, was born to be the favored child of heaven. His eyes never bothered to look down, and his back never bent down.

However, he saw Tom Riddle.The thin, still-developing boy walked towards him from the other end of the corridor.The sunlight from outside penetrated the pillars, and the light and shadow moved with his steps, and there seemed to be a red light flashing in his dark brown eyes.When he saw Abraxas, he smiled and greeted obediently: "Hi, senior." His face was humble and proud.

From then on, Abraxas couldn't help but keep an eye on the news of the little Slytherin.He was praised by the professors again, he gave Slytherin points again, he got the friendship of a pure-blood kid again, and he got No.1 again.For the first time in his life, Abraxas realized that he was a genius, but there were even more geniuses.

Tom Marvolo Riddle.A black-haired boy who always smiles calmly.When Abraxas graduated from Hogwarts, Riddle had become the pride of Slytherin. Even the professors often said that he was the most talented student Hogwarts had ever seen.Occasionally, looking into his dark brown eyes, Abraxas felt that there was a fire burning inside, or that it was hard ice that would never melt.

The scene changed, and it was the day when Abraxas graduated.The midsummer sun illuminated the Black Lake with sparkles, and the tentacles of the giant squid made waves on the water surface from time to time. On the grass of the Black Lake, the graduates were taking pictures with their close friends.Abraxas had just finished filming and was about to go back to the castle to say goodbye to the professors one by one.Then he saw Tom Riddle again.The latter was quietly standing under a beech tree looking at the graduates by the lake, the smile that had been hanging on his face for a long time was gone, and Abraxas found that when he was not smiling, he was more excited than when he was smiling. charming.The only thing that remains the same is the pride that shines from his bones.

The dark brown eyes slowly turned, and finally fell on Abraxas. Riddle's expression moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth were curled up to show a polite smile, and he bent slightly to him: "Senior." The first time they met in the corridor When they met, Riddle greeted Abraxas in the same way. At that time, he simply nodded and hurried past the boy.But now Abraxas stopped, and exchanged a few words with Riddle with a smile.

When he turned to leave, the moment he entered the shadow of the castle, the heat of the sun quickly faded from his body, and the coolness rose from the soles of his feet.Abraxas turned his head, and he forever remembered the boy standing alone under the shadow of the tree in the midsummer sun.

At that time, he never expected that that ordinary boy would set off a bloody storm in the magic world in the future, and it would also stir up turbulent waves in his heart.Abraxas, who was like a bystander witnessing all this, thought in his heart.

When we meet again, Tom Riddle is a Slytherin prefect.The skinny boy who walked out of the Muggle world turned into a tall and handsome young man with extraordinary demeanor, until in the not-too-distant future he became the Duke of Darkness.Merlin was endowed with magical talents, and his family was destined by nature, and Riddle had this ability to make people ignore his ordinary to humble birth, and his ordinary name was shining because of him.Don't rely on the famous ancestors, don't rely on the family that sits on the golden mountain.Only by himself, by himself.

Abraxas watched in a daze as his younger self chatted happily with Riddle.They chatted from Hogwarts to the Ministry of Magic, from professors to students, from magic to politics, from Muggle half-bloods to the increasingly rare pure-blood nobles.They met each other and became close friends at first sight.Abraxas remembered that time as the happiest of his decades of life.For the first time, he discovered that there are really people in this world who can guess what he is going to say before he speaks.Sometimes they don't even have to speak, just use their eyes to communicate with each other.He believes that he has finally found the most important friend in his life.

——Not only are they congenial in temperament, but they are also worried about the living conditions of the nobles today.

Abraxas clearly remembered their anger when he and Tom talked several times about the nobles who were constantly squeezed out of their wealth and forced to shrink their land.He still remembered that one winter, when the wind was howling outside the window and the snow was flying, the fire in the fireplace was burning brightly.Tom leaned back in the chair, his amazingly handsome face was dyed red by the flames, and his dark brown eyes seemed to turn blood red. He was silent for a long time and said to Abraxas: "Since you are bound hands and feet by the Malfoy family, then Let me do it."

In his youth, he and the more mature Abraxas Malfoy stared blankly at the vigorous young man in the firelight: "What?"

Tom glanced at him, and continued to stare at the fire in the fireplace, the fire in his eyes was beating: "Let me do it, let me lead the nobles and the Ministry of Magic to fight against other classes. If they take away our survival resources, then we will use They take it back!"

He also had this idea, but Abraxas, who needed to consider the interests of the entire Malfoy family, was silent.

Riddle seemed to know this very well. He turned his head and stared at Abraxas with a slight smile: "Abu, you just need to stand behind me with Malfoy and support me. I will give you great honor."

After a long silence, Abraxas laughed, and punched Tom on the shoulder: "You're not mean."

The atmosphere began to flow again, and the two chatted and laughed and began to exchange their views and future plans.

Ten years later, Abraxas looked at the scene in front of him, closed his eyes, and the deep pain appeared on his face.Yes, Tom did it. He managed to unite all the nobles, bringing them together by means of force or seduction, and he himself stood in front of these nobles, as a leader and against others.Those whose interests have been violated fear Tom's power, and they call him the Dark Lord.The nobles proudly called him the Dark Lord.As the most sincere subordinates of the Dark Lord, the Malfoy family has always stood closest to him.All the time, until I kept having the same dream again and again.

Every night for months he dreamed of the future.That terrible, hopeless future.In that future, Tom split the soul piece, and thus became more and more insane, and the decline of Death Eaters and nobles started from his madness: first, he himself died indirectly because of it, and was humiliatedly crowned "Dynamic Dragon" Wart virus", the glory of the Malfoy family was trampled underfoot and ridiculed.Then came the other nobles, those who tried to persuade were punished, those who tried to escape were killed, until the sober dared not speak, and the mad celebrated Tom's madness.The Death Eaters have completely become the spokespersons of death. Whether they are enemies or their own people, everyone fears them and fears their king.In the end, Tom himself was driven to perdition step by step because of this madness.Dumbledore set up a 17-year bureau before completely killing Tom.And everything, everything, their dreams, their beliefs, will eventually disappear with the ashes of the Dark Lord.

Abraxas convulsed violently, he gasped, and as soon as he let go of his fingers, the photo frame fell from his hand to the ground, smashing into pieces.He opened his eyes, closed them again, and then opened them again, so that he opened and closed his eyes several times before he finally calmed down slightly.He walked around the shards of glass on the ground, went to the bedside, took out his wand and pointed it at the ground and waved lightly: "Restored." The broken mirror frame was restored again, and Abraxas couldn't remember how many times he had missed it. Broke it and restored it again.Even though the person in the photo had already left, he still refused to let go.

Besides, broken glass can be repaired by magic, how can a broken heart be repaired?

At first, of course, he didn't believe in those ridiculous prophetic dreams, how could Tom do such stupid things, how could Tom fall before their revolution succeeded.However, gradually, as time goes by, the dream keeps repeating, starting from the Horcrux, to anxiety, to madness, to bloodthirsty, and finally to desperate and rampant laughter.Every night Abraxas had to watch all the tragedies repeat themselves in a never-ending cycle.It was undoubtedly Malfoy's enfeebledness that tormented him the most.Tom once promised him-"I will give you great glory." But if you look at it according to the dream, all he brought to the Malfoy family was destruction.His son, his daughter-in-law, and even his grandson had to be drawn into Tom's madness and suffer.

why?Why do Horcruxes?

Anxiety grows in the bottom of my heart, and doubts sprout from my heart.Everyone could see Abraxas' haggardness. Even Tom asked him about his physical condition several times. Abraxas could only tell him that I am fine and it doesn't matter, but I have been thinking more these days.For this reason, Tom also specially took the time to comfort him, brewed a sleeping potion for him, and tried to relieve his stress.

His stress, however, was nothing like Tom thought it was.The more devoted Tom was to him, the more miserable Abraxas was.

Can such a rational and calm person really make a Horcrux?Does he really want to pursue immortality?

Finally one day, Abraxas couldn't help but began to test: "Tom, if you have the chance to live forever, would you agree?"?
