Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

The vicious event caused by the opening of the Chamber of Secrets completely changed the fate of the three men.

The first was the sobbing Peach Girl, who died in that incident. The second was Hagrid, who was wronged, disqualified from attending Hogwarts, held in Azkaban, and the wand was broken down, and his father passed away so sadly that the fate of his life changed dramatically.

Event planner, Tom Riddle.

Strictly speaking, Voldemort's first proactive soul tool, Riddle's Diary, was also born at that time.

But in fact, Voldemort fell far before that incident, the night he went looking for his uncle.

If what Riddle, 15, said last time was true, then his and Gunter's rings should be Voldemort's first soul, an accidental soul, after which the good parts of his soul were stripped away from the Lord's soul, and the farther Voldemort walked on the evil road, the more he became uncomfortable.

So the opening of the Chamber of Secrets more than 50 years ago was a landmark event. In that incident, Riddle took the initiative to produce Riddle's Diary, the first soul tool of his life, marking his decision to be remembered by the magic world as Voldemort.

“I later investigated a lot of people and asked them about Riddle at school, and those who Ken remembered me told me that Riddle was fascinated by his origins.” Dumbledore said, "Of course it's understandable that he grew up in an orphanage and naturally wondered how he got there. I told Ivan earlier that it appeared that he had searched the prize room, on the school's old record list of superiors, and even in the history of magic books for the traces of old Tom Riddle, but nothing had come of it, and he was forced to admit that his father had never been in Hogwarts. I believe that was when he abandoned the name, renamed Voldemort, and began investigating his mother's family history, which he had previously belittled. As we all know, he thought that woman could not be a wizard if she succumbed to the shameful weakness of death as a human being. ”

“So his only clue was the name 'Mavolo’, which he learned from the orphanage manager was his grandfather's name. After a strenuous inquiry in the old books and the Wizard's family, he finally discovered one of the remnants of the Slytherin family. At the age of 15, in the summer, he left the orphanage where he went back every year to find relatives of his Gunter family.” Dumbledore paused for a while and went on to say, "Later it was clear that Riddle found his uncle and his father and grandmother that summer, but he didn't have the pleasure of reuniting with his loved ones, he did some terrible things to them, and left a soul tool, an unexpected one… Well, Harry, I want you to be more impressed than listening to me. ”

He said, taking out a small crystal bottle filled with spinning, pearl-colored memories.

Dumbledore poured his memories into the meditation basin, prompting Ivan and Harry to stand up.

In turn, they approached the stone basin, bent down and immersed their faces in their memories.

A few seconds later, Ivan returned to that familiar pitch-black environment, where he fell from high altitude and fell on a dirty stone floor.

This is the Gunter cabin, the way Muffin looked when he came back from Azkaban.

The surrounding environment was unspeakable, with a thick web of spiders tied to the ceiling, a dark and dull floor, moldy food on the table and a pile of rusty pots, the only light coming from the rocking candle at the feet of Muffin, whose hair had covered his eyes and mouth and sat quietly in the dark.

Until a loud knock woke him up and a pale, good-looking boy appeared at the door.

The next conversation Ivan heard before.

Already insane, Morpheus thought Voldemort was old Tom Riddle, briefly communicating to let Voldemort know that his father had abandoned him and his mother and returned to Riddle House, and that he had seen the ring on Morpheus' hands, the family heirloom of the Gunters, the ring left by Slytherin.

Of course, he didn't recognize the resurrection stone on the ring...

In a curse, everything went to darkness, and the three men returned to reality.

“That's all?” Harry immediately asked, "Why did it get dark all of a sudden and what happened then? ”

“Muffin can't remember what happened after that.” Dumbledore said, taking out another glass bottle with memories, "he woke up the next morning alone on the ground, and Mavolo's ring was missing. Meanwhile, in Little Hangton Village, a maid ran around screaming in the street, saying there were three bodies in the living room of the big house: Old Tom Riddle and his parents, all dead. ”

“As far as I know, the Mugguan authorities still do not know how the Riddles died, because the Avadasso curse generally leaves no marks, with the only exception sitting before me. Dumbledore nodded at Harry's scar and went on to say," But the Ministry of Magic knew immediately that it was the wizards who had poisoned him, and they knew that a man who had come to hate Muggles lived across from the Riddle family and that he had been in prison for assaulting one of the victims in the case. ”

“So Moffin was found by the Ministry of Magic without much interrogation, without vomiting or intoxication, he confessed immediately, provided details only the murderer knew, and said he was proud to kill those Muggles, saying that he had been waiting for the opportunity for many years. The wand he surrendered was immediately proven to be the murder weapon of the Riddles, and he was brought into Azkaban without resistance. The only thing that upsets him is the disappearance of his father's ring. ‘He'll kill me.’ He repeatedly said to the arresting man, 'I lost his ring and he will kill me.’ That seems to be all he's got to say. He spent the rest of his life in Azkaban, mourning the loss of his last heirloom, and was eventually buried next to the prison, along with other poor people who had died in Azkaban. ”

“Was it the devil who stole Muffin's wand and killed him?” Harry asked, "What happened that night? ”

“It was obvious that Voldemort killed his father, altered his uncle's memory, and then took the ring and went on.” Ivan replied for Dumbledore, "That's what happened that night, but it's not only that, it's a lot more, Riddle made the first Horcrux that night. ”

“Horcrux, that special Horcrux you were talking about?!” Harry repeated in low voice, suddenly thinking of something, looking shocked at the ring on Dumbledore's right hand, "The ring... Professor, is this it? ”

“Yes, Ivan and I found this ring in the ruins of the Gunter family cabin earlier, and I have to admit that it is a very special magic object, a special soul tool, not just as simple as a soul tool, but other important uses as well.” Dumbledore said, "Well, we better hurry, there are three memories waiting for us. Before watching me and Evan find out about it, I'd like to show you another memory, which has a lot to do with our next plan…"
