Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Dumbledore calmed down completely beside the two of them, not as sad as he had just been.

His eyes were closed, but he seemed to have recovered and seemed likely to wake up at any moment.

Perhaps he has returned and is listening to the dialogue between the two.

Ivan looked at Dumbledore and Tom Riddle again, and after a moment of silence he sighed softly.

“I do not know the reaper world, but I do know that you are still not telling the truth.” Evan said, "Raise the Griffindor sword again," unfortunately, I gave you a chance, but you repeatedly challenged my limits. You may want to use this as a way for Dumbledore to spare your capital, but you're wrong about one thing, Riddle, and you're not eligible to bargain at all, and all you have to do is say what you know, and then we'll see if we're in the mood to spare you. ”

“Wait, I'm telling the truth!” Riddle shouted hastily, stopping Ivan.

But now he's just a phantom, and Ivan walks right through him and comes in front of the cabinet.

“Okay, okay, I admit I just said a little less!” Riddle said, "It's just me, not sorting my soul into that world, it's just me, after the split from the subject, I can't go back! ”

Without moving, Evan lifted Gryffindor's sword high.

“Stop, stop!” His voice became sharp, "I admit, I cried out at the time, which was disgraceful...”

“There's nothing to be ashamed of, Tom!” Dumbledore calmly said, slowly opening his eyes and looking at Tom Riddle in front of him, "Crying is not a sin, it's just a normal way of expressing feelings, acknowledging one's weakness is not an easy thing, and sometimes it's a courage. ”

“Professor!” Ivan shouted.

Tom Riddle didn't speak, he just turned his head aside and didn't seem to want to see Dumbledore.

“You're doing great, Evan!” Dumbledore said, "Protected me when I was lost, now put the sword down, and Tom was right, and I think I really need to talk to him about this ring and the resurrection stone. Hello, Tom, I have to admit, I didn't expect to see you here before tonight, this form of you! ”

Evan put down his sword and step aside. Now that Dumbledore is awake, it's over!

Dumbledore sounds casual, as if he's greeting an old friend he hasn't seen for a long time.

It's hard to imagine that just a short time ago, he fought Voldemort for life and death.

“Hello, Professor!” Riddle said in a dry, barbaric tone, he turned his head back and stared coldly at Dumbledore, seemingly gauging him, "To be honest, I thought of one day, if anyone could find this place, it would be you. But I didn't expect it to be that long, you look much older than before! ”

“No matter how powerful, there is no way to conquer time.” Dumbledore said, "We're all mortals. ”

“But I conquered death, and I have done it!” Riddle said impolitely, "I am immortal! ”

“No one is immortal, death is not the scariest thing, Tom, that's just the beginning of another great journey, and I thought you would change that once you saw the world of Death, it didn't seem.” Dumbledore said in a disappointing tone, "You take these pointless things too seriously and end up losing yourself! ”

“You haven't changed at all!” Riddle said disgustingly, "Put that away, my dear professor, you know, those things don't work for me, and I don't think you'll be fooled twice by me either! ”

“It is not a question of deception, but of choosing forgiveness and faith, and perhaps I will believe you again tonight.” Dumbledore said, blue eyes staring at Riddle, "I can feel you, unlike Voldemort, are not so evil, but like the boy I saw in the orphanage who made a mistake! ”

“I am Voldemort!” Riddle said out loud that he had suddenly become fierce and frightening.

Ivan looked at him vigilantly, his eyes wide open, staring hard at Dumbledore, who did not answer.

Instead, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

“No, you're not him! Dumbledore affirmed," You are essentially different from him. ”

“Enough, you're as annoying as ever!” Riddle unnaturally said that he was obviously becoming more alert, "Don't pretend, professor, we all know who each other is. Let's be honest, I can tell you everything I know, everything you want to know, I only have one request, don't ruin me! ”

“Tom, in my eyes, you will always be my student!” Dumbledore said patiently, "As I said, I may be willing to trust you again. And I have to say I'm sorry that I led you into Hogwarts, but I didn't have the duty to teach what I should have done if...”

“False intent!” Riddle said, taking a step backwards, "Everything is done according to my own mind, and if it's hard to say, I can only tell you that I would feel happier if you weren't there to watch. Do you think I'd appreciate it if I accepted your opinion without hearing anything but a dark magic defense professor? Or, as Professor Slughorn thought, enter the Ministry of Magic to compete for that ridiculous ministerial position? No, I am Voldemort, I am the heir of Salazar Slytherin. In my veins, there is the blood of Salazar Slytherin himself. I was born to make the world remember me. I want them to hear my name scared. I will crawl on the ground to the chestnut. I will revive the glory of the Slytherin family. I will change the end of the magic world, I will lead the change...”

“It's a great dream, but you did it the wrong way!” Dumbledore said calmly.

“I did it!” Riddle's voice is a little off.

“Do you really think so?” Dumbledore asks back, "I just heard you talking to Ivan, and you seem to have anticipated that the more times your soul splits, not the stronger, but the more confused, losing all reason becomes a terrible monster. Horace certainly didn't tell you that at the time, or you misunderstood what he meant. ”

Riddle stopped talking and obviously couldn't argue, just staring cold at Dumbledore.

“I am Voldemort!” For a long time, he slowly said, "When I figured out my origins, I gave myself that name and abandoned my filthy Muggle father's name, and I knew that one day, when I became the greatest wizard in the world, wizards from all over the world would not dare to speak that name easily, they would only recite it silently in their hearts with awe and fear. Professor, do you really think you're going to win? Do you really think you have the power to destroy me? ”
