Chapter 25: 'Mr. Gaunt”

Chapter 25: “Mr. Gaunt”

For the villagers in Budleigh Babberton Village, Mr. Gaunt has always been an extraordinary person.

Mr. Gaunt looks around forty years old, his face is pale, haggard, and he has suffered from the vicissitudes of time.

However, the chivalrous look could still be seen on his face. It can be imagined that he must be a pretty handsome guy when he was young.

He has lived in the village of Budleigh Babberton for three years, but during these three years, everyone only knows his surname, Gaunt, not even his name.

He seems to have nothing to do, no work, rarely goes out, and rarely communicates with his neighbors but he is never short of money and spends money lavishly.

He shuts himself in his house every day, not knowing what weird things he does.

Occasionally, some strange people visit him.

In short, he is incompatible with the whole village of Budleigh Babberton.

In fact, Mr. Gaunt is a wizard. An incognito wizard.

His full name is Tom Gaunt. Mr. Gaunt had a different name back then, Tom Riddle.

Speaking of it, Mr. Gaunts life can be said to have been ill-fated.

His father is a Muggle, and his mother is a witch, but his mother is cruelly abandoned by his father after being pregnant with him.

On the last day of 1926, in an orphanage, his mother gave birth to him, and she soon passed away.

Poor Tom grew up in this orphanage.

At eleven, a wizard named Albus Dumbledore approached him and told him he was actually a wizard.

Then Tom succeeded in becoming a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After being released from prison, he changed his name to Tom Gaunt and began to live incognito.

He also reconnected with some of his student followers.

Even after many years in prison, his outstanding talent for Dark Arts still won their respect.

It took a few years, and Tom gathered a small group of followers and formed an illegal group called the Death Eaters. Tom became their leader.

Soon, this group had to retreat into underground activities due to attacks from the Ministry of Magic.

Since 1988, Tom has been engaged in the study of mysterious magic.

Because he often comes into contact with some contraband, he begins to choose to live in a Muggle town.

Six old books were placed in front of Tom in various directions.

Ah! He let out an angry roar and then tore all six books before him to pieces.

He had spent two hundred thousand gallons to have Lucius Malfoy buy these books from abroad, but now when he had these books, he realized they were utterly worthless.

The core content of the six books all pointed to another one. The seventh book, which he did not possess at all. If he couldnt get the seventh book, then everything was absolutely meaningless, and he couldnt do anything.

Due to anger, Toms face began to tremble, and a red light flashed in his black eyes.

Suddenly, a strange instrument on the table began to hum. Then it started to wriggle violently.

Toms face changed suddenly, and he quickly turned on the instrument and lowered his head. The expression in Toms eyes rapidly changed to ecstasy.

Because he suddenly felt that the seventh book did exist and a few minutes ago, someone had opened it, the position of the seventh book seemed to be at Hogwarts.

Toms face quickly turned from ecstasy, and a bit of haze appeared.

Because the person he hated most was also at Hogwarts.
