[HP] Why give up treatment

Tom got up early in the morning, finished grooming as usual, bulingbuling himself, ate a hearty breakfast, yelled at the Lestrange group as usual, and then explained to a few Death Eaters routine.Afterwards, he returned to the room and dug out a set of old robes that were not so bulingbuliing from the closet.The old robe hid Tom from head to toe, concealing the Dark Lord's usual sharpness.Tom frowned and glanced at his own image in the mirror.

Damn Dumbledore, talking about a secret meeting made him look so unglamorous,

Tom pursed his thin lips and narrowed his eyes.Looking at the pocket watch, there are still a few minutes before the appointment.Well, it's almost there, let's go and see what kind of medicine is sold in that old thing's gourd.

Apparate.

The principal arrived there early in the morning, he wandered around and squatted for a while.Well, it looks like Tom isn't setting any traps.From this point of view, since Tom's return, it has indeed been a lot gentler than before.I am afraid that more than half of them are due to that child.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Dumbledore had to admit that Olivia played a very important role in it.Although the child had a bad stomach and was more courageous than the sky, his essence was not bad at all.From that child's point of view, the Dark Lord was his father, so he naturally wanted to help Tom wholeheartedly.However, Olivia saved Sirius, even if the motive was not pure, but she did save Sirius, this is an unchangeable fact.Olivia obviously had other options at the time, but he chose the four-win situation.Well, it's hard to say who won more.Anyway, in the end, the dark lord's increasingly infamous reputation was slightly cushioned, Harry got the godfather, the Order of the Phoenix returned a right-hand man, and Richard Vick was... well, don't think that no one knows what he's up to.

Anyway, what he wanted to say was that Olivia was like a palliative and a melting potion.What the child did not only mercilessly uncovered the ugliness that the wizarding world had been trying to hide all along, but also seemed to slowly put some things back together as they should have been.Dumbledore sighed, but he couldn't tell.Anyway, he knew that there must be a period of ruthless darkness before dawn.In this darkness, one will be smashed to pieces.He also knows that there are too many uncertain factors in this era, and many problems have been out of control.For the present plan, I'm afraid the only option is to let go of personal grievances first.

But he thought so, but he didn't know what Tom thought...

"Well, good day, Dumbledore. I don't know when it will start, can we catch up like old friends?"

Pulled back to reality by the familiar voice, the principal looked at the man in front of him who was covered in shadows. "Oh, good day Tom, it really hurts me when you say that. I thought we were all on good terms."

Bah, not a bad fart.

Tom spat hard inwardly.

"You are a busy person, why do you want to find me when you have time? Can Hogwarts be without you for a day?"

Deliberately ignoring the sarcasm in Tom's words, Dumbledore still smiled.Anyway, he didn't come to quarrel today.

The two walked into a run-down hotel in Knockturn Alley, and Voldemort, covering his face, watched Dumbledore open a room, and then he was pulled into the room.My fellow, if the wizarding world knew that the Dark Lord and the White Lord were going to have a room in a hotel one day... that would be a lot of fun.

He stared coldly at Dumbledore after telling the boss not to disturb them, and then watched Dumbledore put a lot of anti-eavesdropping, peeping, this and that anti-spells in the room.Finally Tom couldn't take it anymore.

"Are you insane? Why did you bring me to this kind of place?" Turning down the hood of his robe, Tom did not hide his sarcasm.

Dumbledore choked.It's been a while...

"You don't want to go to the territory of the Order of the Phoenix, and I don't want to go to the territory of the Death Eaters. This is the territory of the Ministry of Magic, which can be regarded as a neutral area. This is the most reassuring place for both parties, isn't it?" the principal explained patiently.

"Huh? I am most at ease in the territory of the Ministry of Magic? Is your brain growing backwards?"

Damn Severus must have been so poisonous with the addition of Death Eater mouths!Cherish life and stay away from Death Eaters. "The Ministry of Magic has more trouble with Germany than with you. They're too busy trying to catch you, Tom."

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Why did you come to me today?" Tom didn't want to continue going around in circles.The Ministry of Magic really didn't want to arrest him, it would have done so long ago, why wait until this day.He naturally understands all these.What is not understood is Dumbledore's behavior.

"Tom, you have to know that no matter what happens, you are a member of the British wizarding community after all."

"So?" Tom raised an eyebrow.

"I hope we can join hands to resist foreign enemies." Dumbledore also rarely went around in circles.

It was the funniest joke Tom Riddle had ever heard in most of his life.So he laughed, and laughed so wildly that his stomach hurt from laughing.But there was no smile in his eyes, instead it became colder and colder.

"Joint together? Merlin, is the sky about to fall? I heard the word "jointly" from the mouth of our great leader of the Order of the Phoenix, and the target is still Voldemort?"

Are you kidding me?

This reaction did not surprise Dumbledore, in fact it was much better than he had imagined, at least Tom didn't pull out his wand for a life-and-death duel as soon as they met, didn't he?So if you laugh at something, just bear it.The old headmaster said to himself.

"Did the Ministry of Magic ask you to be a lobbyist? That's why you chose this place? Oh, then they really don't know how to choose people." Tom's eyes wrapped around the face of the old man in front of him like poisonous snakes.

Dumbledore froze for a few seconds after hearing this, then shook his head. "No, the Ministry didn't ask me for anything."

Voldemort immediately put on a 'do you think I'll believe it' face.

"I know you won't agree easily. But I'm willing to exchange a piece of information."

"It seems that you came prepared." Tom said with a clear expression. "But what intelligence do you think I'm willing to sacrifice so much for?"

"It's about Eve Stocker."

As soon as these words came out, Tom's face suddenly became very, very ugly.Dumbledore's palms were sweating silently, ready to deal with the opponent's attack at any time.But to his surprise again, Tom didn't lose control.This made Dumbledore have to consider re-evaluating the Dark Lord.

"So, you mean that it's not enough for you to use Eve once, and after she dies, you have to use her a second time?" Tom's voice seemed to come from the ground.The tone contained not only anger, but also deep sorrow.

Dumbledore was silent.

At this moment, he didn't know what attitude he should use to face the person in front of him.Dumbledore seemed to realize for the first time that he was dealing not only with a Dark Lord, but also with a husband grieving the loss of his wife.

"I'm very sorry." After a long time, the old man finally found his voice. "It's true that I mishandled this matter, so just treat it as if I didn't say what I just said."

Are you still kidding me?

"…………"

"Oh! Of course, I will still tell you the information about Mrs. Riddle. But I will not use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for your help." Dumbledore returned to smiling.

You are so kind?Tom expressed doubts on behalf of the people of the country.

"Oh, Tom, you don't look like you really want to know..."

"Say!" The Dark Lord's patience was almost worn out.

"Okay, okay, young people are impetuous now."

young people?Tom laughed.He is almost seventy, still young?But compared to Dumbledore, an old man who is over a hundred years old, he is indeed quite young.

"How did you tell my father?" Olivia was sitting on the sofa in the principal's office, drinking delicious hot chocolate, listening to the story with great enthusiasm.

Dumbledore was helpless.Not long ago, this kid saw himself as if he saw a cockfight. Why did he become so friendly now?

"I told your father, I knew Bellatrix's secret 13 years ago. I also knew about her threat to Peter Pettigrew. So I asked Peter to sneak into the Death Eaters camp as a double agent. But Peter had the guts I was too young, so I betrayed the Order of the Phoenix in the end. Bellatrix came to Hogsmeade that day, and I was notified immediately. There are many students in Hogsmeade on weekends, so I have been secretly following Bellatrix Lex to prevent her from doing things that endanger the students. I finally found out that Bellatrix was trying to enter Hogwarts through the Shrieking Shack, and I stopped her. I told her secret and threatened that she would use the The Dark Lord was told the secret, and Bellatrix killed herself."

"How could my father believe such a lie full of loopholes..."

"Fortunately I was there the day Bellatrix confronted you, so I manipulated my memory a little. Oh, you know, just a little. I showed the memory to your father , what your father saw was 'me' confronting Bellatrix at that time. So he also believed most of it."

Moved a little bit?He seems to have changed beyond recognition... Well, Father Voldemort, you fooled others with your memory, now it's someone else's turn to fool you with your memory... This proves once again the truth that you always have to pay back when you come out to mess around.

"How did my father react?"

"Very angry." Dumbledore recalled Tom's expression when he knew the truth that day. "Perhaps 'furious' would be a better word?"

Olivia shrunk her neck, he thought so too...

"Look, my child. I spent a lot of energy to help you this time. And I hardly got any benefits." Dumbledore spread his hands pitifully.

Olivia glanced at him. "Principal Dumbledore, don't say that. Benefits, you have gained a lot..."

"Where is it?" The principal blinked in confusion.

"Your calculation is really good. At the beginning, you didn't tell my father the truth directly, but exchanged for 'joining forces' to resist foreign enemies. This is to lower my father's vigilance, and the second is to bury him in the future. A hint? Let him have an idea of ​​the joint venture, so that it won’t be so abrupt when it’s brought up. In other words, you didn’t expect my father to agree to the joint venture at all this time, you just used Chance made a hypothesis. At the same time, it sold my father to a certain extent."

"I haven't thought about it that way at all." It's a pity that the kid won't become a psychologist.

"Well, no matter what you think, my goal has been achieved anyway. Thank you for your help."

"You're welcome."

"By the way." Olivia asked suddenly before leaving the principal's office. "You told my father that you knew about Bella at the beginning, you deliberately sent Peter Pettigrew to the Death Eaters camp as a double agent, and finally you betrayed the Order of the Phoenix because Peter was too cowardly. You are trying to fool me A lie made up by my father, so you are not the culprit who caused Sirius to go to prison for more than ten years. That's not true...is it?"

"Well, of course, of course it's not true..." Dumbledore pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a kind smile.
