Dark Lord, please let go
Chapter 80
The matter of the basilisk was resolved smoothly. Although Draco still felt that it was a bit irrational to do so afterwards, at least the result was good.The mandrake has also matured. This time, Myrtle did not die. She drank the antidote brewed by Professor Slughorn and returned to Ravenclaw's long table.She would still get bullied by Olive Hornby, but it was better than losing her life.
At breakfast time on the second day after the basilisk died, Dumbledore praised Tom in front of the teachers and students of the school, and announced that Tom Riddle had won a special contribution award for solving the troubles at Hogwarts.Draco could feel that at that moment, the eyes of almost all the students fell on Tom, the kind of eyes with envy and admiration.
Draco guessed that there might already be an extra trophy belonging to Tom Riddle in the showroom on the fourth floor of the castle.
After that, Hogwarts became calmer, there were no basilisks, no dementors, and the students finally relaxed.But Draco became more and more nervous. He was paying attention to Tom all the time, for fear that he might not know when the Horcrux diary would be created by Tom.
But Tom behaved very normally, attending class on time every day, going to the library to complete homework and papers after class, and even staying quietly in the dormitory to read after curfew.But in Draco's opinion, such a Tom doesn't fit his character at all, no night tour?This is really a weird thing.
This weirdness continued until the day before the Christmas holiday...
If it was a normal Christmas holiday, Draco would definitely go back to Malfoy Manor, and Tom would go to work in Diagon Alley or something.But this year's holidays were different. Once Draco thought that Tom already knew the existence of Horcruxes, he wished he could stay by Tom's side and monitor him until he returned to Hogwarts after school started.
But old Malfoy didn't know what Draco was worried about. When he saw Draco on the platform, he didn't allow Draco to resist and took him and Abraxas back to Malfoy Manor.This made Draco depressed, and at the same time worried about Tom's eyes with ulterior motives when he said goodbye to him.
And during this time at Malfoy Manor, Draco has been feeling restless, as if something very important is about to happen.Draco could only think of Horcruxes, and Draco felt chills all over at the thought that Tom might make Horcruxes at this time.He wrote to Tom, but when the golden eagle flew back to Malfoy Manor, there was no answer from Tom at all.
As if feeling that Draco was not bored, Abraxas pushed the wizard chess and refused to continue playing, "I have to remind you Draco, tomorrow is Christmas, you can't be so absent-minded."
"Did Tom tell you anything? About how to spend this Christmas?" Draco asked uncertainly, frowning.
"Oh, of course, isn't he supposed to work in Diagon Alley?" Abraxas smiled. "You know, he does it every year."
Draco didn't miss the slightest bit of awkwardness in Abraxas' smile, and he was sure Tom had other plans, which Abraxas clearly knew.
"Is he really in Diagon Alley? Oh, you know Abraxas, I'm worried about Tom, we grew up together, closer than friends, but I can't get in touch with him at all now. Or Abraxas You are not worried about Tom at all? If so, your friendship is really unflattering." Draco wanted to put on a worried expression about Tom, but in fact he didn't have to pretend at all, since Draco After being brought back to Malfoy Manor by old Malfoy, he was worried all day long and couldn't cheer up at all, no matter who he was, he could see that he was terrible.
Abraxas looked at the obvious dark circles under Draco's eyes, and sighed, "Can't you get in touch with Tom? He said in Diagon Alley..."
"I really can't get in touch with Abraxas, you are mine...uh, brother, you have to help me, you know how worried I am about him."
Abraxas pursed his lips and remained silent for a long while before giving up and saying, "I really shouldn't tell you, but since you're so worried—" He crossed his arms and raised his chin proudly, "I I found the information of the Gunter family, you know, Tom has been looking for the Gunter family for a long time."
Regardless of Draco's astonished expression, Abraxas continued on his own, "Tom told me that his relative's name is Marvolo Gunter, so I checked it out for him. Luo Gunter was once arrested by the Ministry of Magic for attacking officials sent by the Ministry of Magic, so I found out the specific address."
After hearing what Abraxas said, Draco stood up abruptly from the sofa, and he looked at Abraxas like he was looking at a stupid troll.
"How could you tell Tom that? Oh, it's the devil! Do you know what you've done?"
In Malfoy's house, old Malfoy and Draco knew about Tom's life experience a long time ago, and neither of them took the initiative to tell others about it. I told Tom about it, and that was great!
"The Gaunt family are descendants of Slytherin, I thought you knew that." Abraxas frowned, looking critically at Draco's fidgeting look, "Quiet, it's not a big deal, That might be Tom's relative, you know..."
"I don't know anything!" Draco couldn't hold back and said angrily to Abraxas: "Damn, if uncle comes back, please tell him that I have something urgent to deal with, this afternoon...or tomorrow, I must Will be back."
Draco rushed out of Malfoy Manor unprepared, without even taking the second-hand wand with him.The speed of the Knight Bus is obviously not suitable for the current situation. Draco pursed his lips and struggled for a while before deciding to use Apparition. He was not sure whether he could successfully use this spell without missing arms or legs. Proceed safely to Little Hangleton.He's clearly running out of time though, and Draco would bet he wanted to go to Little Hangleton as soon as Tom knew about the Gaunts.
Draco thought about the location of Little Hangleton in his mind, and then turned around on the spot. When he opened his eyes, he saw the woods in front of the old Gaunt house.Draco ran towards Little Hangleton without thinking. He had to find someone to ask if Tom had been here recently.
He went to the hotel where he had stayed for two days, found the proprietress in the store, and asked if any strangers had appeared in Little Hangleton recently.Draco was relieved that no stranger had been seen at Little Hangleton, to the surprise of Draco, who thought Tom would be eager to find Gaunt.
But just as he was relieved, the proprietress of the hotel suddenly raised her lips and smiled, "Yes, there are no strangers recently. If I have to say that someone has been here, it is a group of policemen." The proprietress tried her best to hide it. I was excited, but it didn't work. It seemed that something happy happened to Little Hangleton.
"The Riddle family is dead. Just this morning, when the maid went to the restaurant, they saw that the three of them had stopped breathing. At noon, many policemen came to investigate this matter. They died so strangely that there was no sign. He died, and I heard that there are no traces on his body."
Draco opened his mouth, he wanted to convince himself that this matter had nothing to do with Tom, but no, Draco knew that this matter must have been done by Tom without thinking about it, he could only think of this answer.
Coming out of the hotel, Draco went straight to the poor house of the Gaunts. Now that the Riddles were dead, there was only one place Tom could go—the Gaunts.
When Draco was just approaching the broken house, he saw two wizards confronting each other from a distance. One was the Morfin Gaunt he had seen before, and the wizard standing opposite him. Although Draco He couldn't see the man's face, but something inside told him it was Tom Riddle.
As if sensing someone coming from behind, the wizard turned his head slowly, and Draco saw the handsome face that belonged to Tom. The only difference is that the obsidian-like eyes on that face are now bloodshot, and the scarlet eyes are like 20 years later.
"You really know all about Draco." Tom didn't seem surprised at Draco's arrival. He glanced at Draco calmly, "You're in a hurry? You're holding your own wand."
Draco's hand holding the wand tightened. He used to think about what he would do when he saw Tom like this, would he be nervous?Panic?Or fear?But in fact there was none at all, the feelings he thought did not exist at all.He felt his thinking was clearer than ever before, very calm, unbelievably calm, as if he could cast a curse on Tom, who was gradually becoming the Dark Lord, without thinking.
Draco glanced at Morfin Gaunt, who was full of anger, and then turned his head to look at Tom, his gray-blue eyes were full of indifference, "Tom, when did Little Hangleton change its name to Diagon Alley?" ?”
Seeing Draco like this, Tom didn't know how to react, he thought that no matter what time Draco would always stand by his side instead of pointing his wand at him, this kind of thing shouldn't happen.But in fact Draco deceived himself again and again, hiding everything.He clearly knew that he most wanted to find out about the Gaunt family, but he never told himself that he had already found out. If it wasn't for Abraxas, he might have spent even longer.
"Are you going to cast a jinx on me Draco? Are you going to put your wand on me? On your closest friend? Just because of someone like that?"
Tom's eyes fell on Morfin Gaunt, this maniac man turned out to be his uncle.If Draco hadn't arrived, the man might have been controlled by the Imperius Curse, and the ring belonging to Slytherin should be on his hand.
Della didn't relax his vigilance because of Tom's words, and pointed his wand steadily at Tom, "You shouldn't do that to Tom, although I also think Riddle is stupid and a Muggle with dirty blood, but he is Your father, how could you kill him? You are still a student!"
"Shut up Draco, don't mention that man to me!" Tom's voice was full of anger and contempt, "That's just a lowly Muggle, Draco, he's not my father at all, don't mention him."
"That's right, your father is a bastard, and you are just like him, you are also a dirty bastard!" Morfin Gunter suddenly roared angrily, and he pulled a stick from his trousers pocket. Some wands with peeling paint pointed at Tom.
"Four points..."
"Cruciatus!" Before Morfin Gaunt could utter the complete incantation, a Cruciatus curse hit him.Morfin Gunter fell to the ground, curled up in pain, with a hideous expression on his face.
Draco insisted that he couldn't believe his eyes, Tom was already able to use the Unforgivable Curse proficiently, and he hadn't even noticed it.
"Lisong!" Draco thought about it, and threw a spell directly at Tom, but Tom was very vigilant, and the moment Draco raised his hand, he dodged it, but his Cruciatus Curse also stopped , Morfin Gaunt was lying on the ground clutching his chest, as if he had passed out.
Tom looked at Draco tiredly, with a certain hatred in his voice, "You actually cast a curse on me Draco, I thought you wouldn't..."
Tom swallowed the latter words. In fact, he knew very well that Draco didn't really believe in himself. He looked at him with some unbearable defense at certain times, as if he was looking through himself. Looking at someone else, someone else he resembled him.Draco would never tell Tom what was on his mind, never, no matter how long it took, Tom would never learn anything from Draco.
"That's not why you killed Tom, you're still a student—" Draco lowered his voice, his gray-blue eyes were lifeless, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his emotions. "Tom, I wonder if you ever made a Horcrux, tell me!"
"You know far more than I thought Draco—" Tom narrowed his eyes dangerously, he didn't know why, his heart was full of violent emotions, it seemed that something was coming out of his chest, He was roaring and throwing a curse at the boy opposite, telling him to close his eyes and stop looking at him like a stranger. "—what else is Draco that you don't know? The Chamber of Secrets, the Basilisk, my life experience, the Horcrux..."
Every time Tom said a word, Draco's face paled, because he couldn't deny what Tom said, even if he had different feelings for Tom, Draco couldn't deny that he didn't believe Tom, he always felt Tom would still become the Dark Lord in the end, and he already had this premonition.
"Tom, you don't understand, you can't do this! Slughorn clearly told you that Horcruxes are very evil things, you must never make Horcruxes, you must promise me this." Draco tensed face, eyes full of anger.
"Horcruxes can make people immortal Draco. I think we have reached a consensus. You are also studying the immortality mentioned in alchemy, aren't you?" Tom stared at Draco with scarlet eyes, Dangerously shining.
"So you made a Horcrux?" Draco's slightly trembling hand holding the wand suddenly stabilized. Tom seemed to disappear in front of his eyes. The handsome boy mutated into a snake-faced Dark Lord, and Exactly the same 60 years later, he stood there, cold and crazy.
"Do you know what I saw in that Boggart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Tom didn't answer directly, he looked at Draco mockingly, "When I stood in your way, Boggart Became my dead body, and what I fear most is my death Draco."
"That's it Tom Riddle!" Draco's lips were pressed together tightly, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth. "I won't support you in doing this, and neither will the Malfoy family. We are no longer friends Riddle, starting today, you are you and I am me..."
He wants to leave you Tom, the one who was with you...want to leave you...
You can't let him do this, you have to do something, no one can go against your wishes...
Tom saw himself slowly raising his wand, and the spell spit out from his mouth, "The soul is out of the body..."
... (Originally I wanted to make a separate chapter, but I really want to go back quickly and put the dividing line of a chapter) ...
When Old Malfoy and Abraxas arrived at Little Hangleton, it had been more than three hours since Draco left the manor, and it was only then that Abraxas realized that his father had long known that the Gaunt family was in Little Hangleton. Girton.
By the time old Malfoy and Abraxas arrived at the shabby house of the Gaunt family, many officials from the Ministry of Magic had already come around, and Tom was surrounded by a group of officials as if he had been cast with an Imperius Curse. , Tom kept his lips shut and didn't say a word.
"What's going on?" Old Malfoy stepped forward, glanced at Tom, and asked the Chief of Staff of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
"Mr. Malfoy, hello." Foley greeted old Malfoy politely.
"What happened here?" Old Malfoy tapped the ground lightly with the snake-headed cane, "Tom is my son's friend, what do you want from him?"
"It turned out to be like this." Foley glanced at Tom, "Mr. Malfoy, something terrible happened here. Three Muggles were murdered at home. It was a death curse, and there were only two wizards nearby. Tom Riddle, your son's friend, and Morfin Gaunt."
"I have to doubt the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic." Old Malfoy sneered, looking at Foley like he was looking at an idiot, "I don't think a teenager can use the Death Curse, even if he drinks it It is impossible to use the Unforgivable Curse without the aging potion, and he is still underage and cannot use magic outside of school."
"Aging agent?" Foley showed a suddenly realized expression, "Of course Mr. Malfoy, but he was there at the time, so we need to ask clearly. Since you think he has no problem, then..."
Foley immediately turned back to his colleague and shouted, "Oh, all right, let that terrified kid go, yes, I'm talking about Tom Riddle, let him come here."
Finally freed from the entanglement of the Ministry of Magic officials, Tom walked up to old Malfoy without saying a word. His eyes were still bloodshot and hadn't changed at all.
"Are you okay Tom? Oh, hell, I wouldn't have let you come if I had known this would happen." Abraxas wanted to give his friend a hug, but he stopped because of Tom's tyrannical eyes. Stop the action.
"Did you see Draco? He ran out of the house when he heard you came for Gaunt."
Hearing Draco's name, Tom's expression became ferocious at that moment, he panted heavily, and looked at Abraxas with a sneer, "Of course, I have a lot to ask you about Draco, I'm afraid I'm going to take the liberty of visiting Malfoy Manor."
He held his right hand tightly, and the ring in his hand hurt so much that Tom felt pain, but he didn't seem to feel pain, he still held his hand tightly and refused to let go, as if holding Draco in this way would appear in front of him.
Tom can still remember the look on Draco's face when the curse was about to hit him, looking at Tom in disbelief, as if accusing, 'You really cast the curse on me? '
Tom woke up the moment the spell was cast, he never thought he would treat Draco like this, Draco was so important to him, more important than anyone else, even if he never The parents who have met can't compare with Draco at all.
And what did you do?In order to prevent Draco from leaving him, he threw the Imperius Curse at him, I am afraid that Draco will never want to see him in the future...
Tom numbly followed old Malfoy and Abraxas to Malfoy Manor. His expression was calm, and there was no trace of emotion on his face, but Abraxas who was beside him felt the sadness emanating from him, as if Something happened that made him unacceptable.
Abraxas regarded all this as the reason for knowing his own life.
Old Malfoy sat on the sofa chair in the study and waved his hand at his son, "Abraxas, you go out first, I have something to talk to Tom alone."
"Father?" Abraxas glanced at Tom hesitantly. Seeing that the other party didn't respond at all, he nodded, "Please let the elf call me if you need anything, father."
After Abraxas left, old Malfoy looked at Tom who was sitting motionless on the sofa.
"So Tom, could you please tell me where Draco is?"
Hearing Draco's name, Tom then set his gaze on old Malfoy, but his bloodshot eyes were filled with regret and confusion, "Mr. Malfoy, Draco and I... had a little argument, I Throw it to him—”
The voice stopped suddenly, Tom pursed his lips, as if he couldn't accept the reality, he panted heavily, and it took a while before he continued, "I cast a spell on him, and then he disappeared from my eyes, He should be very angry, very angry, I think he may have Apparated away, and as for where he is now..."
Old Malfoy raised his eyebrows gracefully. Although Tom made it very clear, he didn't know why he felt that things were not that simple. "You don't need to worry about the murder. Officials from the Ministry of Magic tested Morfin Gaunt's wand and found that his wand had cast the Imperius Curse and other unforgivable curses. I'm afraid he will be in Az in the future. Caban gets through."
Tom nodded silently. He let go of his tightly held right hand. There was a ring lying there. He knew how much Draco valued this ring. It was his father's relic, and Draco kept it Hanging around his neck, and Draco didn't even care about the ring in order to leave him.
Thinking of this, Tom clenched his fists tightly again.
"Mr. Malfoy, Delaware dropped his father's relic on the ground before Apparating. If he comes back, please return this ring to him."
After speaking, Tom took a few steps forward and placed the ring on Old Malfoy's desk.
"...this ring." Old Malfoy showed a surprised expression. He picked up the ring and examined it carefully. "You mean Draco disappeared? Right in front of your eyes?"
Old Malfoy had a stern expression on his face, he pursed his lips and couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Yes, we were a little excited at the time, I threw a spell at him, he should be very disappointed-"
"No, that's not right." Old Malfoy interrupted Tom eagerly, and once again put the ring in front of his eyes to examine it carefully. This action lasted for a long time before Old Malfoy raised his head in disappointment, "If there is a chance, I will Will give the ring back to Draco, don't worry about Tom."
Tom felt that Old Malfoy's words were a bit strange, but he was worried at the moment whether Draco was resenting him, so he didn't think much, greeted Old Malfoy and Abraxas in a hurry, and left Malfoy Manor.
He went back to Diagon Alley to work. This Christmas holiday, Tom was not happy, and even a little absent-minded.He kept sending letters to Draco, hoping to get a reply from Draco, but none of them, all the letters fell into the sea.
Tom could imagine how angry Draco was, and his proud and awkward character would never allow himself to bow his head first. Tom could even imagine Draco's impatient face when he received the letter, even exuding anger Throw the letter in a ball into the fireplace.
But there is always a way, right?Tom comforted himself in his heart that every time the two had conflicts, they would always reconcile. No matter how long the cold war lasted, Draco would be willing to stay by his side, and this time was no exception.What's more, the conflict between them is still because of the three Muggles, Tom doesn't think this will become an obstacle between them.
Until the end of the Christmas holiday, on the Hogwarts Express, in the box they used to stay in, Tom saw Kassim and Devlin, but he didn't see Draco.When he returned to the Slytherin dormitory, Tom didn't see Draco's luggage in the room, and he finally realized that something was wrong.
Tom went to find Abraxas, but Abraxas's eyes were a little evasive, and his relationship with Tom was not as close as before.
"Why didn't Draco come to school, Abraxas?" Tom squinted. His eyes had already returned to their original color. In fact, the first time he saw those bloodshot eyes in the mirror, Tom himself I was taken aback, and felt that those eyes were very familiar for no reason, as if I had seen them somewhere before.But as his eyes recovered, Tom forgot about it.
"He transferred to Tom, and Draco transferred to another school." Abraxas raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, "I thought you would guess this, the moment you cast a curse on him, your friendship It doesn't exist anymore, Tom."
Tom's expression was gloomy and terrifying, his obsidian-like eyes flashed a trace of scarlet, and narrowed dangerously. "Don't be silly, Abraxas, where is Draco now?"
"He changed schools, Tom. I'm also very sorry about this matter. After all, I won't see Draco for a long time." Abraxas pursed his lips and looked at Tom with a little regret.
In fact, Abraxas didn't know how to explain this matter at all. He thought of the unbelievable thing his father told him in the study on Christmas day. Draco came from 60 Years later, it will be his grandson, which is... unimaginable.The ring that brought Draco to this time was put away by his father, and the traces of black magic on it had completely disappeared 2.
"You are lying to Abraxas. Although these facts are unbelievable, I will always find a way, and I will see Draco." Tom suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, but his expression didn't look like that at all. So what happened, cold and cruel.
Tom didn't continue to say anything, because he already knew everything he wanted to know from Abraxas.
Draco didn't change schools, it's not that he didn't forgive himself...
Although Tom was a little hard to accept the moment he saw the facts, but when he thought of Draco's strange behavior for so many years, everything seemed to be clearly explained.
Draco returned to his time, and he was left here.
I don't know why Tom suddenly wanted to laugh out loud. He was left here alone, but in fact he wasn't sad. Since Draco could travel through time and come to him, Tom firmly believed that he would definitely take Draco to him again. Get it back, whether it's decades later.
There is always a way...
The author has something to say: please notify me if there are bugs, and I will modify them in time.
ps: 1 Draco didn't know that murder was needed to make a Horcrux, so he was worried.
2v's insanity is very powerful. I found information that he didn't need a spell to use insanity, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tell who was lying when he was facing a Death Eater.
Except for the professor, because his Occlumency is stronger than V's insanity =3=
Double update~ dog blood is over _(:3」∠)_
At breakfast time on the second day after the basilisk died, Dumbledore praised Tom in front of the teachers and students of the school, and announced that Tom Riddle had won a special contribution award for solving the troubles at Hogwarts.Draco could feel that at that moment, the eyes of almost all the students fell on Tom, the kind of eyes with envy and admiration.
Draco guessed that there might already be an extra trophy belonging to Tom Riddle in the showroom on the fourth floor of the castle.
After that, Hogwarts became calmer, there were no basilisks, no dementors, and the students finally relaxed.But Draco became more and more nervous. He was paying attention to Tom all the time, for fear that he might not know when the Horcrux diary would be created by Tom.
But Tom behaved very normally, attending class on time every day, going to the library to complete homework and papers after class, and even staying quietly in the dormitory to read after curfew.But in Draco's opinion, such a Tom doesn't fit his character at all, no night tour?This is really a weird thing.
This weirdness continued until the day before the Christmas holiday...
If it was a normal Christmas holiday, Draco would definitely go back to Malfoy Manor, and Tom would go to work in Diagon Alley or something.But this year's holidays were different.

Della didn't relax his vigilance because of Tom's words, and pointed his wand steadily at Tom, "You shouldn't do that to Tom, although I also think Riddle is stupid and a Muggle with dirty blood, but he is Your father, how could you kill him? You are still a student!"
"Shut up Draco, don't mention that man to me!" Tom's voice was full of anger and contempt, "That's just a lowly Muggle, Draco, he's not my father at all, don't mention him."
"That's right, your father is a bastard, and you are just like him, you are also a dirty bastard!" Morfin Gunter suddenly roared angrily, and he pulled a stick from his trousers pocket. Some wands with peeling paint pointed at Tom.
"Four points..."
"Cruciatus!" Before Morfin Gaunt could utter the complete incantation, a Cruciatus curse hit him.Morfin Gunter fell to the ground, curled up in pain, with a hideous expression on his face.
Draco insisted that he couldn't believe his eyes, Tom was already able to use the Unforgivable Curse proficiently, and he hadn't even noticed it.
"Lisong!" Draco thought about it, and threw a spell directly at Tom, but Tom was very vigilant, and the moment Draco raised his hand, he dodged it, but his Cruciatus Curse also stopped , Morfin Gaunt was lying on the ground clutching his chest, as if he had passed out.
Tom looked at Draco tiredly, with a certain hatred in his voice, "You actually cast a curse on me Draco, I thought you wouldn't..."
Tom swallowed the latter words. In fact, he knew very well that Draco didn't really believe in himself. He looked at him with some unbearable defense at certain times, as if he was looking through himself. Looking at someone else, someone else he resembled him.Draco would never tell Tom what was on his mind, never, no matter how long it took, Tom would never learn anything from Draco.
"That's not why you killed Tom, you're still a student—" Draco lowered his voice, his gray-blue eyes were lifeless, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his emotions. "Tom, I wonder if you ever made a Horcrux, tell me!"
"You know far more than I thought Draco—" Tom narrowed his eyes dangerously, he didn't know why, his heart was full of violent emotions, it seemed that something was coming out of his chest, He was roaring and throwing a curse at the boy opposite, telling him to close his eyes and stop looking at him like a stranger. "—what else is Draco that you don't know? The Chamber of Secrets, the Basilisk, my life experience, the Horcrux..."
Every time Tom said a word, Draco's face paled, because he couldn't deny what Tom said, even if he had different feelings for Tom, Draco couldn't deny that he didn't believe Tom, he always felt Tom would still become the Dark Lord in the end, and he already had this premonition.
"Tom, you don't understand, you can't do this! Slughorn clearly told you that Horcruxes are very evil things, you must never make Horcruxes, you must promise me this." Draco tensed face, eyes full of anger.
"Horcruxes can make people immortal Draco. I think we have reached a consensus. You are also studying the immortality mentioned in alchemy, aren't you?" Tom stared at Draco with scarlet eyes, Dangerously shining.
"So you made a Horcrux?" Draco's slightly trembling hand holding the wand suddenly stabilized. Tom seemed to disappear in front of his eyes. The handsome boy mutated into a snake-faced Dark Lord, and Exactly the same 60 years later, he stood there, cold and crazy.
"Do you know what I saw in that Boggart's Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Tom didn't answer directly, he looked at Draco mockingly, "When I stood in your way, Boggart Became my dead body, and what I fear most is my death Draco."
"That's it Tom Riddle!" Draco's lips were pressed together tightly, and the voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth. "I won't support you in doing this, and neither will the Malfoy family. We are no longer friends Riddle, starting today, you are you and I am me..."
He wants to leave you Tom, the one who was with you...want to leave you...
You can't let him do this, you have to do something, no one can go against your wishes...
Tom saw himself slowly raising his wand, and the spell spit out from his mouth, "The soul is out of the body..."
... (Originally I wanted to make a separate chapter, but I really want to go back quickly and put the dividing line of a chapter) ...
When Old Malfoy and Abraxas arrived at Little Hangleton, it had been more than three hours since Draco left the manor, and it was only then that Abraxas realized that his father had long known that the Gaunt family was in Little Hangleton. Girton.
By the time old Malfoy and Abraxas arrived at the shabby house of the Gaunt family, many officials from the Ministry of Magic had already come around, and Tom was surrounded by a group of officials as if he had been cast with an Imperius Curse. , Tom kept his lips shut and didn't say a word.
"What's going on?" Old Malfoy stepped forward, glanced at Tom, and asked the Chief of Staff of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
"Mr. Malfoy, hello." Foley greeted old Malfoy politely.
"What happened here?" Old Malfoy tapped the ground lightly with the snake-headed cane, "Tom is my son's friend, what do you want from him?"
"It turned out to be like this." Foley glanced at Tom, "Mr. Malfoy, something terrible happened here. Three Muggles were murdered at home. It was a death curse, and there were only two wizards nearby. Tom Riddle, your son's friend, and Morfin Gaunt."
"I have to doubt the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic." Old Malfoy sneered, looking at Foley like he was looking at an idiot, "I don't think a teenager can use the Death Curse, even if he drinks it It is impossible to use the Unforgivable Curse without the aging potion, and he is still underage and cannot use magic outside of school."
"Aging agent?" Foley showed a suddenly realized expression, "Of course Mr. Malfoy, but he was there at the time, so we need to ask clearly. Since you think he has no problem, then..."
Foley immediately turned back to his colleague and shouted, "Oh, all right, let that terrified kid go, yes, I'm talking about Tom Riddle, let him come here."
Finally freed from the entanglement of the Ministry of Magic officials, Tom walked up to old Malfoy without saying a word. His eyes were still bloodshot and hadn't changed at all.
"Are you okay Tom? Oh, hell, I wouldn't have let you come if I had known this would happen." Abraxas wanted to give his friend a hug, but he stopped because of Tom's tyrannical eyes. Stop the action.
"Did you see Draco? He ran out of the house when he heard you came for Gaunt."
Hearing Draco's name, Tom's expression became ferocious at that moment, he panted heavily, and looked at Abraxas with a sneer, "Of course, I have a lot to ask you about Draco, I'm afraid I'm going to take the liberty of visiting Malfoy Manor."
He held his right hand tightly, and the ring in his hand hurt so much that Tom felt pain, but he didn't seem to feel pain, he still held his hand tightly and refused to let go, as if holding Draco in this way would appear in front of him.
Tom can still remember the look on Draco's face when the curse was about to hit him, looking at Tom in disbelief, as if accusing, 'You really cast the curse on me? '
Tom woke up the moment the spell was cast, he never thought he would treat Draco like this, Draco was so important to him, more important than anyone else, even if he never The parents who have met can't compare with Draco at all.
And what did you do?In order to prevent Draco from leaving him, he threw the Imperius Curse at him, I am afraid that Draco will never want to see him in the future...
Tom numbly followed old Malfoy and Abraxas to Malfoy Manor. His expression was calm, and there was no trace of emotion on his face, but Abraxas who was beside him felt the sadness emanating from him, as if Something happened that made him unacceptable.
Abraxas regarded all this as the reason for knowing his own life.
Old Malfoy sat on the sofa chair in the study and waved his hand at his son, "Abraxas, you go out first, I have something to talk to Tom alone."
"Father?" Abraxas glanced at Tom hesitantly. Seeing that the other party didn't respond at all, he nodded, "Please let the elf call me if you need anything, father."
After Abraxas left, old Malfoy looked at Tom who was sitting motionless on the sofa.
"So Tom, could you please tell me where Draco is?"
Hearing Draco's name, Tom then set his gaze on old Malfoy, but his bloodshot eyes were filled with regret and confusion, "Mr. Malfoy, Draco and I... had a little argument, I Throw it to him—”
The voice stopped suddenly, Tom pursed his lips, as if he couldn't accept the reality, he panted heavily, and it took a while before he continued, "I cast a spell on him, and then he disappeared from my eyes, He should be very angry, very angry, I think he may have Apparated away, and as for where he is now..."
Old Malfoy raised his eyebrows gracefully. Although Tom made it very clear, he didn't know why he felt that things were not that simple. "You don't need to worry about the murder. Officials from the Ministry of Magic tested Morfin Gaunt's wand and found that his wand had cast the Imperius Curse and other unforgivable curses. I'm afraid he will be in Az in the future. Caban gets through."
Tom nodded silently. He let go of his tightly held right hand. There was a ring lying there. He knew how much Draco valued this ring. It was his father's relic, and Draco kept it Hanging around his neck, and Draco didn't even care about the ring in order to leave him.
Thinking of this, Tom clenched his fists tightly again.
"Mr. Malfoy, Delaware dropped his father's relic on the ground before Apparating. If he comes back, please return this ring to him."
After speaking, Tom took a few steps forward and placed the ring on Old Malfoy's desk.
"...this ring." Old Malfoy showed a surprised expression. He picked up the ring and examined it carefully. "You mean Draco disappeared? Right in front of your eyes?"
Old Malfoy had a stern expression on his face, he pursed his lips and couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Yes, we were a little excited at the time, I threw a spell at him, he should be very disappointed-"
"No, that's not right." Old Malfoy interrupted Tom eagerly, and once again put the ring in front of his eyes to examine it carefully. This action lasted for a long time before Old Malfoy raised his head in disappointment, "If there is a chance, I will Will give the ring back to Draco, don't worry about Tom."
Tom felt that Old Malfoy's words were a bit strange, but he was worried at the moment whether Draco was resenting him, so he didn't think much, greeted Old Malfoy and Abraxas in a hurry, and left Malfoy Manor.
He went back to Diagon Alley to work. This Christmas holiday, Tom was not happy, and even a little absent-minded.He kept sending letters to Draco, hoping to get a reply from Draco, but none of them, all the letters fell into the sea.
Tom could imagine how angry Draco was, and his proud and awkward character would never allow himself to bow his head first. Tom could even imagine Draco's impatient face when he received the letter, even exuding anger Throw the letter in a ball into the fireplace.
But there is always a way, right?Tom comforted himself in his heart that every time the two had conflicts, they would always reconcile. No matter how long the cold war lasted, Draco would be willing to stay by his side, and this time was no exception.What's more, the conflict between them is still because of the three Muggles, Tom doesn't think this will become an obstacle between them.
Until the end of the Christmas holiday, on the Hogwarts Express, in the box they used to stay in, Tom saw Kassim and Devlin, but he didn't see Draco.When he returned to the Slytherin dormitory, Tom didn't see Draco's luggage in the room, and he finally realized that something was wrong.
Tom went to find Abraxas, but Abraxas's eyes were a little evasive, and his relationship with Tom was not as close as before.
"Why didn't Draco come to school, Abraxas?" Tom squinted. His eyes had already returned to their original color. In fact, the first time he saw those bloodshot eyes in the mirror, Tom himself I was taken aback, and felt that those eyes were very familiar for no reason, as if I had seen them somewhere before.But as his eyes recovered, Tom forgot about it.
"He transferred to Tom, and Draco transferred to another school." Abraxas raised the corners of his mouth mockingly, "I thought you would guess this, the moment you cast a curse on him, your friendship It doesn't exist anymore, Tom."
Tom's expression was gloomy and terrifying, his obsidian-like eyes flashed a trace of scarlet, and narrowed dangerously. "Don't be silly, Abraxas, where is Draco now?"
"He changed schools, Tom. I'm also very sorry about this matter. After all, I won't see Draco for a long time." Abraxas pursed his lips and looked at Tom with a little regret.
In fact, Abraxas didn't know how to explain this matter at all. He thought of the unbelievable thing his father told him in the study on Christmas day. Draco came from 60 Years later, it will be his grandson, which is... unimaginable.The ring that brought Draco to this time was put away by his father, and the traces of black magic on it had completely disappeared 2.
"You are lying to Abraxas. Although these facts are unbelievable, I will always find a way, and I will see Draco." Tom suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, but his expression didn't look like that at all. So what happened, cold and cruel.
Tom didn't continue to say anything, because he already knew everything he wanted to know from Abraxas.
Draco didn't change schools, it's not that he didn't forgive himself...
Although Tom was a little hard to accept the moment he saw the facts, but when he thought of Draco's strange behavior for so many years, everything seemed to be clearly explained.
Draco returned to his time, and he was left here.
I don't know why Tom suddenly wanted to laugh out loud. He was left here alone, but in fact he wasn't sad. Since Draco could travel through time and come to him, Tom firmly believed that he would definitely take Draco to him again. Get it back, whether it's decades later.
There is always a way...
The author has something to say: please notify me if there are bugs, and I will modify them in time.
ps: 1 Draco didn't know that murder was needed to make a Horcrux, so he was worried.
2v's insanity is very powerful. I found information that he didn't need a spell to use insanity, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tell who was lying when he was facing a Death Eater.
Except for the professor, because his Occlumency is stronger than V's insanity =3=
Double update~ dog blood is over _(:3」∠)_
