?Tom, holding a black magic book in his hand, laughed when he heard this: "Abu, why did you suddenly mention this?"
Abraxas didn't have the slightest desire to laugh, in fact he didn't even have the strength to force himself to show a gentle expression now.The muscles on his face were tense, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were bloodshot because he hadn't rested for many days: "Answer me!"
Tom looked suspiciously at his friend's anxious and impatient look, and tried to say something easy to let him relax: "Why not? If I can live forever, I can just wait for Dumbledore to die and take control of Hogwarts." He thought of that Interesting future, smiling more happily, with childish slyness in his eyes, "Maybe I will invite you, Abu, to be a professor of defense against the dark arts. I remember you are very interested in this subject."
Unfortunately, his words just had the opposite effect.Abraxas' face paled instantly.He didn't even hear Tom's next words clearly. When he heard the sentence why not, his heart was cold and his brain was confused.The dream fragments of the past few months swirled and danced in front of his eyes during the bright day, like colorful stained glass smashed and mixed together, messy but knowing the contents of each piece.
In this confusion, Abraxas' eyes unconsciously fell on the cover of the book in Tom's hand. Only then did he see the name of the book that Tom was obsessed with recently.The cover was made of black leather of unknown origin, and it was marked "Apex Black Magic Revealed" in gold letters. Abraxas's icy heart beat suddenly became disordered. He grabbed the book and flipped through it. with pages.
Tom sat on the sidelines inexplicably, allowing the book to be roughly snatched away, and looked at Abraxas suspiciously.And the latter quickly found what he wanted to find.
Abraxas pressed his trembling fingers to a title in the book, under which word was marked with two strokes: "Horcrux?"
Tom raised his eyebrows: "Are you also interested in this? I have some ideas about this recently, Abu, you..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a roar.
Abraxas became furious without warning—"Tom Riddle!" He stood up and stared at the young man leaning over with red eyes, "You didn't do this, did you?"
Tom was stunned, and quickly reacted.A faint red crept up his pale cheeks, a red light flashed in his dark brown eyes, he narrowed his eyes dangerously, and stretched out his hand: "Give it back to me."
Abraxas held the black magic book, motionless, and silently rejected the request.
The smile receded from his face, Tom raised his hand expressionlessly, and also kept his fingers still: "Give it to me."
The two looked at each other.Abraxas looked into those dark eyes and saw the ice and the flames burning on the ice: "...Tom, have you made a Horcrux?"
Tom frowned, a little annoyed: "Give me the book first!"
In the end, it was Abraxas who compromised first, just like he had always been the one who compromised after he and Tom became friends, and he took the initiative to retreat again, returning the book in his hand to the other party.
Tom, who got the book, calmed down a little. He smoothed and closed the pages that Abu had wrinkled just now, took a deep breath, and then patted the armrest of the seat beside him: "Sit down."
Abraxas hesitated for a while, then sat down with his lips pursed, and at the same time lowered his voice to threaten: "Tom, you have to tell me if you have made a Horcrux?"
"..." Tom Riddle hesitated for a moment before slowly pulling out a rope from his clothes. An ugly ring hung from one end of the ordinary black rope.
"what is this?"
Tom held the ring between the two with his index finger and thumb, and the irregularly shaped black stone on it reflected cold light on the edge of the sun: "The ring of the Gaunt family." He paused, as if he had made up his mind Only then continued to say softly: "It is also the legendary resurrection stone."
Abraxas, who grew up listening to the stories of Death and the Three Brothers, shrank his pupils suddenly, and looked at the unattractive stone in disbelief: "Are you sure?"
In that story, the three brothers are all powerful wizards. One day when they were on their way, they encountered a fast-flowing river, so they waved their wands and built a bridge over the river.When the three brothers came to the middle of the bridge, the Grim Reaper appeared in front of them.The god of death was not happy to lose the three sacrifices who should have died, but he pretended to congratulate the three brothers, promising them each a reward of something.
The boss is warlike, and wants a wand that will always help his master win in duels, a wand worthy of a wizard who has conquered death.So Death made a wand out of a dangling branch of elderberry and gave it to the eldest.
The second child is arrogant, and if he wants to further insult the god of death, he needs the ability to resurrect the dead.The god of death picked up a stone from the river bank and told the second child that this stone has the ability to bring the dead back to life.
Of the three brothers, only the third is the wisest and most cautious, and he doesn't believe in death.So he asked for something that would allow him to leave Death without being discovered, and Death reluctantly gave him his Invisibility Cloak.
This is a fairy tale, one of the bedtime stories that every little wizard has heard since childhood.Basically all wizards know that these three treasures are the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak.They are all priceless.Each is the dream of wizards through the ages.It's a pity that most people think it's just a prop in a fairy tale, and don't know it actually exists.And they are called "Three Hallows".
Now, Riddle told Abraxas that the ring in his hand was inlaid with the resurrection stone, one of the three holy vessels.According to legend, if you turn it three times, you can resurrect the treasures of the dead.Abraxas had never seen the ring on Tom's neck before, which means he had acquired it in the last few months.
If it was a surprise, Tom's next words were the blow that brought Abraxas back to reality again: "I made it a Horcrux."
"What!" Abraxas raised his voice instantly again, staring at Tom without aristocratic demeanor: "You are crazy! Horcruxes can be made casually!"
Tom frowned, not knowing how to explain it to him, saying that he had foreseen the future and clearly knew the pros and cons of Horcruxes?No, he couldn't say it.Tom found out that he couldn't tell Abraxas himself about the self-induced decline of the Malfoy family in that future.What's more, it was hard for him to say that he went crazy because of desperately splitting the Horcrux, and finally turned into a monster who only wanted to pursue power and power.There were too many things that could not be said, and in the end he could only answer vaguely: "Don't worry, I have a measure."
If he was really measured, he wouldn't try something like a Horcrux!Abraxas almost sprayed Tom's face with every mouthful of blood: Why doesn't this idiot think about it, if it is really possible to live forever through Horcruxes, why hasn't there been an immortal wizard for thousands of years!At most there is only one Nick Flamel, or because of the Philosopher's Stone!
Abraxas's face turned from pale to red, and then from red to gloomy: "Tom, you must glue your soul... back." For a while, Abraxas couldn't find a suitable word to describe the recovery action, so Abraxas had no choice but to Such a dumbfounding description was used.
Tom couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. Unlike his serious friend, he looked very relaxed. He put the ring back into his clothes and straightened his collar: "No."
Abraxas thought of the Dark Lord in his dreams, that serpent-faced, red-eyed, cruel monster who tormented everyone with the Cruciatus Curse, both his subordinates and his enemies, and whose friends died early.including myself.The first Horcrux that man created was a diary, but the resurrection stone was indeed in it.
"Tom, did you make any other Horcruxes?"
"No, just this one." He didn't want to turn into a crazy slithering monster, there was no need for that.
"Then take this back, too."
"...Are you ordering me?" The corners of his mouth were flattened, and Tom looked at Abraxas with dissatisfaction and complained: "Any magic needs to be practiced, and black magic is no exception. And this is my trump card."
Abraxas couldn't help laughing angrily at his statement: "The hole card?" He probably never thought that it was this hole card that made his life worse than death.What about the seven Horcruxes he created in the future?As a result, they were all killed one by one by a Hogwarts student jokingly!He himself became indistinguishable.It's not so much a hole card as it is a curse, a curse that he will walk towards death step by step!
"No, you don't understand, Tom. If you really want me as a friend, take this Horcrux back. Whether you use sticky ones or whatever. Damn, whatever you want, I can help you! But, please, Tom take it back!"
"I don't understand, it's you, Abu." Tom, who was in stark contrast to Abraxas' excitement, said in an unusually calm tone, "I won't fail this time. I will return this sentence to you, if You still treat me as a friend, so support me! Support me unconditionally. You once swore that you will stand by my side no matter what happens!"
"..."
After a long silence, Abraxas stood up again.It's just that this time his movements were very slow, with determination in his slowness, "Then I'm afraid, I can only be your subordinate, Tom."
Tom's eyes widened in disbelief.Every time he showed this innocent expression, Abraxas couldn't help but back away, but, only this time, only this time not.He couldn't make another mistake, that dream, that future where he sacrificed Malfoy to fulfill his friendship and maybe love.However, once is enough.This time he couldn't go back any further.He... could no longer sacrifice Malfoy, it had to be his own sacrifice.
For the benefit of the family.Abraxas recited it silently in his heart, closed his eyes and opened it again, the voice that had been rising and falling just now suddenly calmed down—making Tom uneasy: "Master, please allow me to leave first. "
The redness that had just faded flooded Tom's pale and thin cheeks again, even more than before.He clenched his lips and squeezed out his name from between his teeth: "Abu!"
However, Abraxas just saluted him blankly with blank eyes.He had already used Occlumency!
Tom couldn't bear it anymore, he got up and grabbed his arm: "Abu!"
Through the heavy material, Tom clenched his arm tightly.But the owner of that arm moved, and then slowly, little by little, pulled it back hard.The light blond-haired noble once again made a formal farewell ceremony to Tom: "Please forgive my rudeness, master. Allow me to leave first."?
Abraxas didn't have the slightest desire to laugh, in fact he didn't even have the strength to force himself to show a gentle expression now.The muscles on his face were tense, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were bloodshot because he hadn't rested for many days: "Answer me!"
