Chapter 1048

Van Lin followed Dumbledore into the room, for young Voldemort, van Lin is still very curious.

It can be said that Voldemort's childhood determines what kind of road he will choose, and Tom's choice is obviously not what Dumbledore hoped for, which is something Dumbledore has been unable to let go.

Several people had just entered the room, and Mrs. Cole closed the door behind them.

It was a bare little room with an old wardrobe and an iron bed. A boy was sitting on a gray blanket with his foot in front of them and a book in his hand.

As a matter of fact, there was no sign of the guntes on Tom Riedel's face.

It should be said that Melo's dying wish came true: Tom was a miniature version of his handsome father, tall, dark haired and pale among eleven year olds.

He narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Dumbledore's odd costume. They were silent for a moment.

"Hello, Tom." Dumbledore went forward and held out his hand. The boy hesitated for a moment, then he put out his hand and shook him.

Dumbledore pulled over the hardwood chair next to Tom and sat down. They both looked like a couple of hospital patients and visitors.

"I'm Professor Dumbledore."

"Professor" Repeated Riedel. He looks very alert. "Is it similar to" doctor "? What are you doing here? Did she let you in to see me? "

Tom pointed at the door, which was very impolite. Mrs. Cole had just left. Obviously, Tom didn't like Mrs. Cole very much. Maybe it was related to his ability. He was different.

As a matter of fact, van leen has always wondered whether there is a child with magic power that hasn't been discovered by Hogwarts.

However, the establishment of the Ministry of magic seems to have put an end to such problems. Moreover, a child with magic power will sooner or later behave differently from ordinary people.

Even if it is really not found out, Fanlin thinks that the ability of magic will disappear. If you miss the best learning stage, you will naturally disappear.

But how did the Ministry of magic or Hogwarts find out?

Fanlin has explored the surrounding area. In fact, the wandering magic will disturb the wizard's sight, or is this kind of newborn wizard very conspicuous in the magic world?

However, Fanlin is more inclined to the Ministry of magic's monitoring of urban crowd, which is similar to the trace silk in the magic wand, although it is a joke in Van Lin's eyes.

"No, no," Dumbledore said with a smile.

"I don't believe you," said Riedel. "She likes me to be seen, doesn't she? Tell the truth He uttered the last three words.

It's an order. It sounds as if Tom often talks like this. He glared at Dumbledore with wide eyes, and Dumbledore just smiles happily and doesn't answer. After a few seconds, Riedel stopped staring at him, but was still alert.

"Who are you?"

"I told you. I'm Professor Dumbledore. I work at a school called Hogwarts. I'm here to pick you up to my school - your new school, if you like. "

Riedel's reaction was astonishing. He jumped out of bed and avoided Dumbledore, looking angry.

"Don't lie to me! You're from a mental hospital, aren't you? Professor, yes, of course - well, I won't go, OK? That old cat should go to a mental hospital. I've never done anything to Amy Benson and Denise bishop, you can ask them, and they'll tell you! "

"I'm not from a mental hospital," Dumbledore said patiently. "I'm a teacher, and if you can sit down quietly, I'll tell you where Hogwarts is. Of course, if you don't want to go there, no one will force you -- "

" I'll see how they force me, "reddell sneered.

"Hogwarts," Dumbledore continued, as if he had not heard Riddell's last words, "is a school for students with special abilities -"

"I'm not crazy!"

"I know you're not crazy. Hogwarts is not a school for madmen. It's a school of magic. "

There was a silence.

Riedel froze, his face expressionless, but his eyes looked back and forth into Dumbledore's eyes, as if to find evidence that they were lying.

As a matter of fact, no one's reaction is much better than Tom's. If van Lin hadn't known his ability since childhood, he would have doubted whether Dumbledore was an old liar.

"Magic?" He repeated in a low voice.

"Yes," said Dumbledore.

"Yes It's magic. What I know is magic? "

"What can you do?"

"Anything," he gasped. A flush of excitement appeared on his sunken cheek; he looked fanatical. "I can make things move without touching them. I can get those animals to listen to me without training. I can make people who annoy me suffer. I can hurt them if I want to. "Riedel's legs were shaking. He stumbled back into bed, staring at his hands, drooping his head as if praying.

"I knew I was different," he whispered to his trembling fingers. "I knew I was special. I always knew there must be some reason. "

"Well, you're right," Dumbledore stopped smiling. He focused on Riddell. "You're a wizard."

Riedel raised his head. His face changed: it was full of happiness, but for some reason it did not make him look good; on the contrary, his exquisitely carved features were somehow rougher, and their expressions were almost brutal.

Fanlin couldn't help but jump in the face of 16-year-old Tom Riedel.

"Are you a wizard, too?"

"Yes, I am a wizard."

"Prove it to me," said Riedel at once, in the same tone of command as he had just said, "tell the truth.". Dumbledore raised his eyebrows.

"If I prove it, you're going to Hogwarts with me -"

"of course!"

"Then you should call me" Professor "or" sir. " Riedel's expression froze for a moment before he opened his mouth, and he said in an almost imperceptible polite tone, "I'm sorry, sir. I mean - can you show me, professor?"

For a moment, Fanling felt Dumbledore would refuse, and would tell Riedel that there would be more time in Hogwarts to prove it, but now he is in a building full of Muggles, so he should be cautious. To his surprise, however, Dumbledore pulled his wand from the inner pocket of his suit jacket, pointed to the ragged closet in the corner and waved it casually. The closet caught fire.

Riedel jumped to his feet, and no wonder he roared in shock and fury; all his property must be in it; but just as Riedel began to scold Dumbledore, the flame disappeared and the wardrobe stood intact.

Riedel stares at the closet and Dumbledore, and then his expression points greedily to the wand.

"Where can I get one?"

"At the right time," said Dumbledore. "I think something's coming out of your closet."

Sure enough, there was a faint creak in the closet. For the first time, Riedel looked a little scared.

"Open the door," said Dumbledore. Riedel hesitated for a moment, then went over and opened the closet door. On the top floor, on a pile of ragged clothes, was a paper box that was vibrating and creaking, as if there were some crazy mice in it.

"Take it out," said Dumbledore. Riedel took the shaking box down. He looked flustered. "Is there anything in the box that you shouldn't have?" Asked Dumbledore.

Riedel cast a meaningful look at Dumbledore. "Yes, I think so, sir," he said at last stiffly. Riedel opened the lid and emptied everything on the bed without looking.

Fanlin thought he could see something exciting, but there was only a jumble of ordinary Gadgets: a Yo Yo, a silver thimble, and a dull harmonica.

An orphanage child, if there is anything else, it is not normal?

When the box was empty, they stopped shaking and lay quietly on the thin blanket.

"You give them back to their owners and apologize," Dumbledore said quietly, putting the wand back in his jacket. "I'll know if you've done it. I would also like to warn you: Hogwarts does not allow theft. "

Riedel did not look embarrassed at all; he still looked at Dumbledore coldly. At last he said, in a neutral voice, "yes, sir."

"At Hogwarts," Dumbledore continued, "we teach you not only how to use magic, but also how to control it. You've been - and I'm sure - you've been using magic in a way that's neither taught in our school nor tolerated by us. You are not the first and not the last to let magic get out of hand. But you should know that Hogwarts will fire students, and the Ministry of Magic - yes, there is one - will punish those who break the law more seriously. All new wizards who enter our world must accept this and abide by our laws. "

"Yes, sir," Riddell said again. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment; his face was still blank as he put the stolen things back into the paper box.

When he was done, he turned to Dumbledore and said frankly, "I don't have any money."

"That's easy to solve," Dumbledore took out a leather purse from his pocket. "Hogwarts has set up a fund to help needy students who need to buy books and gowns. You need to buy some second-hand spell books and so on, but - "

" where can I buy them? " Riedel interrupted him, took the heavy purse without thanking Dumbledore, and was now examining a gold gallon, or gold coin? At least in the wizarding world, it's still hard currency."It's in Diagon Alley," Dumbledore said. "I have a list of your textbooks and instruments. I can help you find everything - "

" are you going with me? " Said Riedel, looking up. "Of course, if you -"

"I don't need you," said Riedel, "I'm used to doing things alone, and I've been walking around London alone. How can I get to Diagon Alley - Sir? "

He added, staring into Dumbledore's eyes. Van leen frowned. He thought Dumbledore would insist on going with Riddell, but he was surprised again.

Dumbledore handed him the envelope containing the list, told him exactly how to get to the cauldron bar from the orphanage, and then he said, "you can see it, but the Muggles around you - who can't do magic - can't see it. Go to Tom, the bartender at the bar - it's easy to remember, you two have the same names. "

Riedel was sensitive, as if trying to get rid of a nasty fly.

"Don't you like the name" Tom "

"There are a lot of people called Tom," muttered Riedel. Then, as if unable to suppress his inner doubts, and as if the doubts came out of his own will, he asked, "is my father also a wizard? His name is Tom Riddell, too, and they told me. "

"I don't know." Said Dumbledore gently.

"My mother couldn't have been a wizard, or she wouldn't have died," Riddell said more to himself It must be him. So - after I've bought everything - when am I going to Hogwarts? "

"All the details are on the second parchment in the envelope," Dumbledore said. "You will leave King's cross on September 1st. There is also a ticket in there. "

Riedel nodded. Dumbledore stood up and held out his hand again. Riedel took his hand and said, "I can talk to snakes. We found it on our way to the countryside - they found me, they talked to me in a low voice. Is this normal for a wizard? "

Van Lim saw that he had been holding this strangest ability in silence, just to impress Dumbledore in the end.

Riedel is very good at this, trying to get more with his own value.

"It's unusual," Dumbledore said, hesitating for a moment, "but it's not unheard of." His tone was casual, but his eyes wandered curiously across Riedel's face.

They just stood there for a moment, the man and the boy, staring at each other. Then the hand they held was released; Dumbledore went to the door.

"Goodbye, Tom. Farewell to Hogwarts. "

"I think that's it," said Dumbledore, white haired, standing next to van leen. Seconds later, they went weightlessly through the dark again and went straight back into the room they are now.

"Sit down," Dumbledore landed next to Vaseline.

Fanlin did, and his mind was full of what he had just seen.

"He believed it faster than I did - I mean, you told him he was a wizard..." Van Lin hesitated for a moment.

"But when I went to pick you up, didn't you already know?"

"Because I found my mom's stuff." "In fact, it took me a long time to figure it out, and fortunately, it wasn't too hard, I learned magic ahead of time," Van leen said

"It's a very dangerous thing." Dumbledore said, "it's hard for a wizard in his infancy to have the spirit to control these nascent restless magic. You have to admit that you are very talented."

"But sometimes, it's more of a misfortune, Professor Dumbledore," said Vaseline, shaking his head. "A lot of things we can actually avoid."
