"I'm sorry, sir, but I was confused by my concern. Harry said. Indeed, compared to the two Voldemorts who didn't know where to hide, Ron had only a minor problem.

"Then we're going to start classes now. Dumbledore spoke in a more cordial tone, "Pick up where I left off." Do you remember where it was?"

"Remember, sir," said Harry at once, "we saw young Voldemort, and learned that he had been adopted by Richard Silver—"

"Very well," said Dumbledore, "and in fact there is a solid source of memory that forms a chain of clues that ends here - I think the clues to Voldemort's growth were cut off by Richard Silver or Voldemort himself, and many of the people involved are either dead or dying to the point of delirium, and if we want to probe Voldemort's memories, then we will have to rely on some guesswork - which may not be accurate, but I think this should be the closest thing to the truth." ”

Harry nodded.

"All I have of the memories of young Riddle is the ones you see, and the rest of the memories of young Riddle are mostly fragmentary and repetitive, of little value—almost everyone thinks he is suave, intelligent, and studious, and a standard all-round model student. ”

"Sounds like Jack Silver. Harry interjected.

Dumbledore didn't heed Harry's words, but continued.

"If finding evidence of young Riddle's upbringing might be obliterated by Richard Silver and difficult to find, it is almost impossible to find someone who can remember an adult Voldemort. In fact, I doubt that there is a living person other than himself who can tell us more about his life after leaving Hogwarts. However, I have two last memories to share with you. ”

Dumbledore said, gesturing to the two small crystal bottles that were shining next to the meditation basin, "After that, I will be glad to hear you judge whether my conclusions are reasonable. ”

"I hope you don't get tired of sneaking into other people's memories, because they're weird. These two. He said, "The first one came from a very old house-elf, and her name was Hao Qi. Before I look at Hawny's testimony, I must briefly say how Voldemort left Hogwarts. ”

As you might have guessed, he made it to seventh grade with the best grades in every exam. The students around me are thinking about what career they want to pursue after graduation. Almost all of them think Tom. Riddle will have amazing achievements, he is a prefect, a top student, and has received special awards from the school. I know of several teachers, including Professor Slughorn, who offered to introduce him to the Ministry of Magic, but he refused on the grounds that he wanted to accept Richard Silver's offer. Later the faculty learned that he had gone to work for Borgin Bock. ”

"Bogin-Bock?" said Harry, stunned.

"Borgin Bock. Dumbledore said calmly, "I think you'll see what attraction that place has to him when you're in Haoqi's memory." But this wasn't Voldemort's first choice. Not many people knew about it at the time - I was one of the few people who had heard the old headmaster talk about it. Voldemort first approached Professor Dippert and asked if he could stay at Hogwarts to teach. ”

"He wants to stay here?" said Harry, even more surprised.

"I'm sure he had several reasons, even though he didn't sue Professor Sù Dippert. Dumbledore said, "First of all, it's important to note that Voldemort had more affection for the school than he had for any other individual. Hogwarts was the happiest place for him, the first and only place where he felt at home. ”

Harry was a little uncomfortable hearing that, as that was how he felt about Hogwarts.

"Second, the castle is a stronghold of ancient magic, and Voldemort undoubtedly knows more about it than most students, but he may feel that there are still many unsolved mysteries and treasures of magic to be discovered. ”

"Third, I suspect he's trying to avoid Richard Silver......

"Avoid Richard Silver?" asked Harry, confused.

"Yes, on this topic, I will also explain it to you in this class, but not now. Dumbledore said.

"He didn't make it?"

"No, I managed to stop him, because I never believed that he was an honest teacher. ”

"Now it's time to listen to the memories of the house-elf Hackie, who was owned by a very old and very wealthy witch named Hepzibah Smith. ”

Dumbledore tapped a vial with his wand, and the cork flew out, and he poured the swirling memories into the meditation basin and said, "You come first, Harry." ”

Harry stood up, leaning over the rippling silver substance in the stone basin again until his face touched it. He tumbled and fell into the dark void and landed in a living room, where he saw a very fat old lady wearing a delicate ginger wig, and a gaudy pink robe spread out around her, making her look like a piece of melted ice cream cake. She was facing a small jeweled mirror and using a large puff to apply rouge to her already bright red cheeks. One of the skinniest, oldest house-elves Harry had ever seen was wearing a pair of tight satin shoe buckles on the old lady's fat feet. (To be continued......)
