It doesn't matter if you were born on a chicken farm as long as you are a swan's egg. --"Andersen's Fairytales"

I stood by the window of the study with my hands behind my back, staring coldly at the icicles on the window frame and the snowflakes falling outside the window, listening intently to Solomon’s report on British affairs, and listening to the plain voice in my ear, I fell into a into his own inner thoughts.Even though it has become a habit to collect his information over the years, I am not sure how Albus will treat me. After all, we have not seen each other for a long time, and human beings have always been quietly changed in time, Ah I don't think so...

Finally, Solomon's hesitant inquiry made me turn my attention back to his words. "My lord, there is one last thing you need to decide. The Von Jenningt family recommends a young man to you and hopes to be interviewed by you. May I ask you...?" I raised my eyebrows, and my interest was slightly raised When I woke up, I knew that this family is definitely a typical representative of acrimony and arrogance, and it is definitely not something ordinary people can do to be introduced by them with trepidation, "His name?" "Tom, Tom? Marvolo? Del." Solomon answered bluntly.

"I think... I'm free at 06:30 tomorrow night, so you can reply to Patriarch Feng Janningt. This kid has an hour, and by the way, greet Mrs. Janningt for me." I paused and thought about it. Tell Solomon about the recent itinerary, maybe this kid can give me a surprise. "Yes, I'll do it right away." Solomon replied, I turned around and nodded to him in satisfaction, then waved my hand to signal that he could go down, Solomon saluted silently and left my study. After he thoughtfully closed the door, I was alone in the spacious room.

I walked to the solid wood desk and casually flipped through the stacked letters. I seem to remember where I heard this name and met this person. Otherwise, no matter how good this Tom Riddle is, I would not agree with him casually. Seeking to see.That's right, this is it, I picked up an open letter that was caught in the middle of the pile of letters, I smoothed the creases on it, and looked at the writing on it with interest.It seems that this child has a little relationship with little Ursula, and he can be seen by the Howth family. No wonder Tom has the confidence to come to me. It seems that I really need to have a good meeting with him.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was 06:30 in the afternoon of the next day. I sat in the small living room drinking tea leisurely, and looked up and down at Tom Riddle who was sitting stiffly beside me with great interest.After looking around, I raised the corners of my lips. Sure enough, the Jenningt family and Ursula didn't miss him. This kid is really a bit real. He is cautious and polite but not obsequious. There is a flame of ambition burning in his heart, although he is still a little immature, but one day he is destined to make a great career.

When I saw him, it seemed as if the past flashed before my eyes, Albus who was cynical back then, and me who was young and frivolous.I put my hands on my chin and laughed lowly, and said first: "I don't want to know how you coaxed Elendil von Janningt to be willing to accept the wrath of those old men for you, but Tom, Since you have paid such a high price for the chance to see me, I think you should have something important enough to ask me?" "Yes, sir." Tom replied politely, but he couldn't see me. Chu Zhong's ambition and rebelliousness are well hidden, and there is nothing to hide in front of me who has gone through such a period when I was young, but I don't mind him, because people who have no desire for power will never be able to climb up The pinnacle of supreme power.

"I know the clues about the Deathly Hallows. As long as I know the last link, I believe it will be easy to find their whereabouts." Tom replied very straight to the point, and his words went straight to the point.I fixed my eyes, looked at him coldly, and immediately pressed towards Tom, but I still replied calmly: "Boy, do you know exactly what you are talking about?" I caught the thread of fate." Although Tom was sweating coldly under my gaze, he was not bad at being able to straighten his back and answer smoothly, even though I could see his body shivering constantly covered by the table at a glance.

"Since you are so confident, then... Tom, tell me, you should know the consequences of concealment and deception." I played with the white wand with scars in my hand, looked back into Tom's eyes playfully, and slowly Withdrew the released momentum.Tom lowered his head humbly, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Your Excellency. Through my inquiries and searching for information this semester, I finally came to the conclusion that the British branch of the Hawes family has the notes of the three brothers Peverell. With this note, we will be able to take a big step forward on the road to obtain the Deathly Hallows." Hearing this, I fell into thought, and tapped the wooden handrail with my right hand, so it was like this?I lowered my head and glanced at the Elder Wand in my hand. This news is indeed valuable. It seems that the remaining two-thirds of the Deathly Hallows will eventually be taken into my hands.

But I turned my head to look at Tom who was thinking about something, and said with a slight smile, "Howth from England? I remember that Ursula is from England, no matter what, as long as you can get this note by yourself, I don't mind making a copy for you." Tom suddenly looked up at me, his hands trembling slightly, and he said a little excitedly: "You promise?" "Yes, Tom, remember I'm standing behind you." I Nodding calmly, even if I have given Tom such a huge temptation, obviously I am definitely not at a loss. Although I have only known Ursula for a short time, I know that Ursula is a shrewd girl. She is not willing to agree to an exchange of conditions. Of course, Tom has been with her for five years. I don't believe that Tom has no cards to make her agree. There are clues to the Deathly Hallows, and of course I can't be worse than a child. Thinking of this, I nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, maybe we can have more cooperation, Tom." I smiled at Tom. I have a good impression of this kid. In my war with Albus, maybe he will be a very A good retreat, of course, this is also a nail I leave for Albus, if he can really grow up. "What? Your Excellency." Tom was a little dazed and dazed after he had resolved a matter in his mind. Sure enough, he was just a young eagle. I smiled tolerantly, but it is worth investing in I found out in the UK that he has faint aptitude to be the leader of the Hogwarts generation, just like Albus Dumbledore when he was a teenager.

"That's right, Tom, let me see what your abilities are now." I stood up and waved to him sideways, and Tom followed me quietly after a slight pause. I was satisfied with the thoughtful expression in his eyes He smiled gently, he is a good boy who knows current affairs.I took him to the study room. I knew that Ursula would definitely be reading in the study room at this time. I may have an answer about how much Tom weighs. I hope you don’t let me down, Tom Riddle ...
