Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1363: Terrible Child

The process was simple and straightforward, and a woman full of mysteries and stories, who actually had a lot of potential, came to a Muggle orphanage alone at the last moment of her life, giving birth to a child in her belly and then dying, at the beginning of a typical novel story.

This kid, later Voldemort, his growth trajectory is also a typical novel protagonist template.

Unfortunately, in this story, young Dumbledore is also the protagonist.

So Voldemort finally failed, just like his predecessor Grindelwald, and it was doomed.

For the plot of this novel, Ivan can only judge it by the word "corrective". Isn't the way the reader likes it supposed to be brainless from beginning to end?

Dumbledore and Grindelwood and Voldemort love each other.

Behind the table, Mrs. Cole sipped another sip of gin, meaning she nodded deeply.

“Did she say anything before she died?” Dumbledore took the opportunity to ask, "Like, about the boy's father? ”

“Yeah, she did.” Mrs. Cole poured herself some more gin.

Maybe it's magic, maybe it's because of the enthusiastic audience in front of her, which obviously got her excited.

“I remember she said to me," I hope he looks like his father. ”Mrs. Cole said," To be honest, she's right to hope so, because she doesn't look so good herself. Then she told me that the child would be named Tom as his father, and that the middle name would be Marvolo as her own father. Yeah, I know. That's a weird name, isn't it? We wondered if she was from the circus, and she said the boy's last name was Riddle, and then she didn't say anything, and soon she died.

“Tom Marvolo Riddle.” Dumbledore repeated in low voice.

“Yes, and then we gave the child a name, as she said, and the poor girl seemed to see it as important, and I could feel it, but there was never a Tom, Marvolo or Riddle family to come to him, nor did he see any relatives, so he stayed in the orphanage until today. ”

Mrs. Cole poured herself another glass of gin almost indifferently, and her cheekbones were brimming with red spots.

Then she hesitated for a moment and went on to say, "He's a weird kid. ”

“Yeah.” Dumbledore said, "I guess so too. ”

“It's not common for him to cry when he was a baby, is it? I've seen so many kids, he's still the first. Later, when he grew up, he became very... weird. ”

“Weird, you mean weird in what way?” Dumbledore asked gently.

“Yes, he...” Mrs. Cole suddenly paused.

She crossed the gin glass to Dumbledore's gaze for questioning, which was not at all tranced or confused.

At that moment, Evan felt Dumbledore's magic had failed!

“He can definitely go to your school, can't he? ”

“Sure," Dumbledore said.

“Whatever I say won't change that? ”

“No,” Dumbledore said.

“Either way, will you take him away? ”

“Anyway.” Dumbledore repeated seriously.

Mrs. Cole looked at him with her eyes closed and seemed to be judging whether to trust him or not.

Finally, she apparently thought he was believable, and suddenly said, "He scared the other children. ”

“Scared?! You mean he likes to bully people?” Dumbledore asked.

“It's not just bullying, it's scaring, it's a hard feeling to explain. If you think he's bullying people, you can.” Mrs. Cole frowned and said, "It's hard to catch him on the spot, there have been some accidents, some malicious events...”

Dumbledore did not rush her, but he could see that he was very interested in it.

Mrs. Cole drank another sip of gin, and the redness on her cheek was deeper.

“Let me tell you something, Billy Stubbs' rabbit... yeah, Tom says he didn't do it, and I don't think he could do it, but that said, the rabbit wouldn't hang himself on the beam with a rope, would it? ”

Ivan whispered, and his brain automatically replenished enough images to make a horror movie.

A boy wakes up in the morning and finds his beloved pet rabbit dangling over his head...

“I don't think so either.” Dumbledore whispered that he frowned too.

Every little wizard has a magic riot before awakening, but this seems extraordinarily special and cruel.

Normal little wizards can't do this, no wonder Mrs. Cole describes the young Riddle in a weird and frightening way.

“Alas, that rabbit, I can't figure out how he got up there and did it. All I know is that he and Billy had a fight the other day. And then...” Mrs. Cole drank another sip of gin, this time spilling some on her chin, "went out for a summer outing, you know, once a year. We took them to the suburbs or to the beach, and since then, Amy Benson and Dennis Bishop have been in trouble. ”

“I'm sorry, can I tell what's wrong?” Dumbledore asked.

“It's just that your head is insane, sometimes sober, sometimes stuck.” Mrs. Cole said that she wiped the drink off her chin, "we asked, saying that they had only entered a cave with Tom Riddle. Tom swore they were going on an adventure, but something must have happened in there, I'm sure. In addition, there are many other things, strange...”

She looked at Dumbledore again, and her cheeks were red, but her eyes were calm.

“I can't say, some things are terrible, I'm not sure if he did them, but I think a lot of people in this orphanage would clap their hands when they saw him leave. Yes, I can be sure of that. ”

“I'm sure you understand that we won't keep him in school," Dumbledore said, "at least every summer he comes back here. ”

“Oh, no problem, that's better than being punched in the nose with a rusty firecracker. Let him out of here before he really shows up. Thank God.” Mrs. Cole burped softly, saying that she stood up, even though the bottle was two thirds short of gin, and her legs and feet were still stable.

“By the way, I'm sure you'd love to meet him, wouldn't you? ”

“I do.” Dumbledore stood up, as he said.

Evan and Harry looked at each other and saw each other's surprises.

Is this the young Voldemort? When he hadn't learned magic, he was so horrible, the hung rabbit, his psychopathic companion, the rusty firecracker, the nose pumping, and a lot of weird and horrible things. This is a standard horror novel's main character template!
