Chapter 1446: Memories and Analysis
"So, how do you get to Diagon Alley?" Riddle said, meeting Dumbledore's gaze and adding the last two words, "Professor!"
Dumbledore didn't insist on accompanying him, he handed Riddle the envelope containing the shopping list, and told Riddle the exact route from the orphanage to the Leaky Cauldron, which is usually unusual for him.
If Riddle really thought Dumbledore would let him go, he couldn't be more wrong!
The conversation between Dumbledore and the young Riddle gave Evan a deeper understanding of Voldemort.
Although Riddle was only eleven years old at this time, many of his traits remained unchanged for life.
As we get older, these personality traits become stronger and stronger.
Eleven-year-old Riddle is not as sunny, well-behaved, and likable as he looks, but rather dark and arrogant on the inside, proud of his special powers, that is, his ability to use magic, and insists that he is different.
Therefore, he can go and bully his companions.
He did a lot more than a joke, but Riddle didn't care, instead he was complacent.
He wantonly hurts his companions because he can do it, and of course, the fuse is a contradiction of all kinds of ridiculous reasons.
In terms of personality, Riddle is very good at threatening others and judging the situation.
If Dumbledore was just an ordinary Muggle, he would definitely be bluffed.
After realizing that Dumbledore was not easy to bully, he immediately showed obedience, obedience to Dumbledore's orders, obedience to power and power beyond his own, this is a typical Slytherin personality trait, judging the situation, ostensibly obeying authority, eleven-year-old Riddle did a good job.
In addition, he is used to acting alone, which shows that he does not trust others at all.
Evan predicted that he wouldn't be able to simply satisfy the basics on the school shopping list when he arrived in Diagon Alley, and that Dumbledore wouldn't have enough gold gallons for him, but he would get what he needed.
There is no doubt about this, this guy with a dark heart is smart and unscrupulous.
When these traits are combined, they often mean uncontrollable, i.e., dangerous and troublesome.
This is a born dark wizard, and a boy destined to become a demon king.
While Evan looked at eleven-year-old Riddle as he thought, young Dumbledore was also looking at the boy.
He knew far less information than Aven, and he didn't know how to judge.
"Don't worry, you'll find Diagon Alley. "Even though the Muggles around you, i.e. people who don't know magic, are invisible, ask Tom, the owner of the bar, and it's easy to remember that the name is the same as yours." ”
Riddle twitched in exasperation, as if to chase away a pesky fly.
"You don't like Tom's name?" Dumbledore asked, focusing on the point.
"There are too many people named Tom. Riddle muttered, and then he seemed to be stuck in his throat, not spitting out, and he seemed to blurt out, "Is my father a wizard? They told me his name was Tom Riddle." ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know. Dumbledore said, his voice soft.
"My mother can't do magic, or she wouldn't die. Riddle wasn't talking to Dumbledore as much to himself, "It must be my father, yes, I think it's going to be him." So, when will I go to this Hogwarts school after I've bought all my stuff?"
"All the details were written on the second piece of parchment in the envelope. Dumbledore said, "You departed from King's Cross on the first of September, and you still had a train ticket in your envelope. ”
Riddle nodded, and Dumbledore stood up, holding out his hand again.
Riddle shook hands and said, "I can talk to snakes, I found out when we went hiking in the countryside." They find me and whisper to me, is that normal for a wizard?"
It can be seen that he deliberately delayed until the last minute to mention this most peculiar ability.
He was hell-bent on bringing Dumbledore to rest, and his goal was achieved.
Dumbledore visibly hesitated, for the first time since he had entered the room.
"A rare talent!" he said slowly, "but not unheard of." ”
His tone was casual, but his gaze was curiously at Riddle's face.
The two stood for a moment, the man and the boy, staring at each other.
Then, the two let go of their hands, and Dumbledore walked to the door.
"Goodbye, Tom, we'll see you at Hogwarts. ”
"Almost, let's go back. The gray-haired Dumbledore said.
The sight in front of me began to blur and distort, and the memory ended there.
Evan glanced at Riddle, who was staring blankly at the door, and a few seconds later, they landed firmly in their real office.
"Sit down. Dumbledore said mildly, "I think you two must have a lot of questions. ”
Evan and Harry looked at each other, and Harry couldn't wait to ask, "Professor, he believes in this, that is, he is a wizard much faster than me, and when Hagrid told me, I didn't believe it." ”
"Before I saw Harry and Dobby, I was full of doubts. Ai Wen said approvingly, he could have been reborn as a world-class rich man or a big star, well, with future black technology and unpublished films, songs, and literary works to pretend, but who knew that this was actually the wizarding world.
Moreover, it's still such a troublesome magical world, with a typical mutation in painting style.
If you don't have a certain psychological tolerance, you will definitely not immediately accept the fact that you are a wizard.
"You two have seen it too, unlike a lot of people, Riddle can't believe he's, in his own words, he's different. Dumbledore said, as if he was also caught in his memory, staring at the ring on his hand in a daze.
"At that time, did you know about ......it?
"You're trying to say that I knew then that the man I just saw was the most dangerous Dark Magic wizard of all time?" Dumbledore said, shaking his head, "No, I had no idea he would be the man he is now. But I did take an interest in him, and to be honest, I was rarely as interested in a young wizard as I was in him. I was going to keep an eye on him when I left the room, and I should have done it because he was alone and had no friends, but I felt like I was doing it not only for him, but for someone else. ”
"For someone else?" Evan asked, "You think something is going to be wrong with him?"
"As you have just heard, for such a young wizard, his abilities are astonishingly perfect and mature, and if I ask, I can tell you unmistakably that no young wizard has been able to do as much as he is, at least in recent centuries, Hogwarts has not admitted such a student. And the most interesting and ominous thing is that he has discovered that he can control these abilities to some extent and begin to use them consciously. As you can see, he's not doing random experiments like the average young wizard, he's already using magic against people, using magic to intimidate, punish and control people. The story of the hanging rabbit and the two children, a man and a woman, who were tricked into the cave, are very telling. Dumbledore paused, and in Riddle's words, "I can hurt them if I want......
