"Professor, have you found the location of the home of the little 'elf' spirits?" asked Aven.

This past Christmas holiday, he had no clue how much material he had turned over, but Dumbledore had a lot more information than he did, and there would definitely be a way.

Since he took the initiative to mention it, there must be a clue.

So, where is the home of the little 'elf' spirits?

"There is some information, and it is a coincidence that because of the course, I recently revisited my memories and found some very interesting information in it, which I had previously overlooked. Dumbledore said, "I think this information will help us find the home of the little 'elves' in the house." ”

Evan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Dumbledore to mention lessons and memories.

His lessons and memories are all related to Voldemort's past experiences, could it be that there is information about the home of the little 'elf' spirit in it?

"Aven, I've been a little inspired by your search for the secret treasure keys left behind by the four founders of Hogwarts, so I've taken a closer look at my memories and found out a little bit about it. Dumbledore continued, "You'll understand when you read that memory, but before we do that, we have three important memories to look at, and that's why I'm here early tonight. Oh yes, one of those three memories, you've already seen it, it's from Tom Riddle's uncle Morfin, it's about him and Riddle, and the other is from me, it's the night we found the ring not long ago. These memories are all important, and I think Harry should have a second look, it will be very helpful for him to understand Voldemort. ”

Knowing Voldemort, Evan felt that it would be better to have fifteen-year-old Riddle come out and speak out.

In the next second, with Dumbledore's movements, Aven's gaze fell on his right hand, which was full of incantations.

And the black 'color' ring, which seemed to be the center of these dark green 'color' magic spells.

"Anyway, the four memories we're going to look at tonight are all about Tom Riddle, and the last one will surprise us unexpectedly, but we need to follow the story of Tom Riddle in chronological order. Dumbledore said aloud, "Last time, we talked about him stepping through the 'door' of Hogwarts. You'll probably remember how excited he was when he heard that he was a wizard, and how he refused to let me accompany him to Diagon Alley, and I warned him not to continue stealing when he entered the school. ”

Then, the new school year began, and Tom Riddle arrived at the school, a quiet boy in a second-hand robe, lined up with the other freshmen for the sorting ceremony. Almost as soon as the Sorting Hat touched his head, it sorted him into Slytherin. Dumbledore continued, his incantation-laden right hand waving behind him and gesturing at the old old Sorting Hat that sat motionless on the shelf above his head, "I don't know when Riddle learned that the famous founder of the House knew Parseltongue, well, if I had to guess, maybe that night of the Sorting. The news must have excited him and added to his conceit. ”

Perhaps he had used a parseltongue to scare or make his Slytherin classmates admire him in the common room, a talent that was especially revered in Slytherin House, but it didn't reach the faculty at all. He did not show the slightest hint of arrogance or aggression, and as an exceptionally handsome orphan, he naturally attracted the attention and sympathy of the faculty almost as soon as he arrived at the school. He seemed polite, quiet, humble, and thirsty for knowledge, and almost everyone had a good impression of him, even some of the faculty members who had always been disgusted with Slytherin House. ”

"Then you didn't tell them what he was like when you saw him at the orphanage?"

"Nope. Dumbledore said, "Although he has not expressed repentance, perhaps he has remorseled himself for his previous actions and is determined to be a new man, and I have chosen to give him this opportunity." ”

Dumbledore was tolerant of other people's mistakes, if he was willing to believe you, of course.

In other words, Tom Riddle had temporarily gained Dumbledore's trust.

It may have been his age that made Dumbledore believe him, Riddle was only eleven years old at the time.

How bad can an eleven-year-old boy be?!

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that one day, he would become the Dark Lord......

"Before he came to Hogwarts,......" Dumbledore paused and looked at Harry inquiringly.

"Well, sorry to interrupt you, Professor!" said Harry, as Dumbledore's words proved once again that he had trusted people in the past, despite the overwhelming 'sexual' tone indicating that those people were not trustworthy, and reminded Harry of Snape and ......

"But you don't really believe Riddle, do you? He once said that it was Riddle who came out of the diary and said, "Dumbledore never seemed to like me as much as the other teachers did. ”

"I really don't think he's trustworthy unconditionally. Dumbledore said, "I told you last time that I decided to keep an eye on him, and I did. I can't say that I found a lot from the very beginning, and he was wary of me. To be honest, I believe he sensed it, and he said a little too much to me in the 'agitation' he felt when he found out who he really was. He was careful not to 'revue' so much, but he couldn't take back what he had slipped out of his excitement, or what Mrs. Cole had confided in me. However, he was wise not to try to 'confuse' and 'confuse' me like so many of my colleagues. ”

Riddle must have sensed that Dumbledore was different from the other professors, and knew that he was dangerous.

Needless to say, he didn't even dare to approach Dumbledore easily.

"Anyway, Riddle was a good 'messer' at school, and he quickly got around him a group of obedient and die-hard friends, and I say this because there is no better word, but as I have already mentioned, Riddle undoubtedly has no affection for them. Dumbledore continued, "These men form a kind of dark force in the castle, they are a complex composition, the weak seek refuge, the careerists want to gain some prestige, and the 'sexual' cruel are attracted to a leader who can teach them a higher form of cruelty. In other words, they were the predecessors of the Death Eaters, and some actually became the first Death Eaters after leaving Hogwarts. ”

"From what I learned later, Riddle was very tightly controlled about them, and the gang was never found to have done anything bad openly, and although there were many evil incidents at Hogwarts during their seven years at school, none of them were conclusively linked to them. The most serious case is, of course, the opening of the secret room, which caused the death of a 'female'. You know, Hagrid was wronged for this case......"
