65 Chapter 65
Menfa Skeeter reporter for the Daily Prophet was found undressed in a girls' bathroom at Hogwarts. At the time, he obviously didn't even remember who he was.
After a brief examination of him, Nurse Hogwarts Nanding affirmed that "there is nothing wrong with this gentleman, he just needs to get a good night's sleep." β
His daughter, Rita Skeeter, is holding a notebook and a shorthand pen and asking Mr. Filch, the school's clerk, about all the details before and after discovering her father!
"Rita! What are you doing? Dot! We're going home! Mrs. Skeeter said.
"Okay, Mom, I'll come right over." Rita ran over to her father and whispered, "You really don't remember anything?" Including me as your daughter? β
Mr. Menfa Skeeter shook his head, and Rita wrote in a notebook with a shorthand pen: 'How unbelievable! My father can't even remember his dear daughter! He must have been hurt in a way that was unusual! Oh, my poor father! β
"Rita! Put away your pen and notebook! β
"Okay, Mom, wait a little longer, or will you agree that I will talk to my father first when I get home?" You know, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Prophet promised me that if I wrote an article to his satisfaction, he would publish it! Father's thing must be a good smell! β
"Rita!!"
After seeing off Mr. Skeeter's family, Paoth returned to the Headmaster's office, where Dumbledore and Red were sitting solemnly on the couch. There's a big problem in the secret room.
She sat down and asked, "Is there a way?" β
Red raised his hand and said, "Sure, I've got a few ideas, but the professor seems to have someone else in mind. "I've thought about drugged him to sleep, so I just need to keep him on the pills." There was also a Muggle thing called a muscle relaxant, and I think Professor Sgollahhorn must have had the same thing there, and he could eat this as well. Then he said, "Of course, it's better to just give him a Dementor kiss." β
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Dumbledore looking at him through the lenses, and his mother sat next to him, her eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately said, "Well, I don't think these methods are very good?" β
Dumbledore cleared his throat and asked Rose, "What do you think?" β
Ross still wanted to lock him up, or make him lose his magic, but both of those were just as much like a Dementor kiss to Tom.
Then it occurred to her what Tom had done to her before!
"Let him lose his memory! All memories! She said excitedly.
Red immediately understood: "Great idea! You tell me? Professor? He asked Dumbledore.
"Maybe." Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. If even Azkaban can't dampen Tom's ambitions, then no matter where he is imprisoned. There's no way he's going to kill Tom without trial, after all, he's been his student, and he still holds on to the hope that he'll change, albeit small.
In this case, let him lose all his memories and become a whole person!
The next step is to choose a potion or spell that won't have a long-lasting effect with no after-effects. Dumbledore goes to his magic book, Red goes to Sgollahhorn, and Paose thinks about how to introduce herself to Tom, who has lost his memory.
When Red came back in the evening, she grabbed him and said, "Let's just say that he disappeared back then, and we all thought he was dead." Now that he's back, he's lost all his memories, what do you think? β
"What? Oh, of course. "Red has no interest in this. When he came out of the shower, he remembered Baosi's words before saying, "It may not be appropriate." We don't know how many people know his name - I mean the Death Eaters. And if he were to reappear as Tom Marvolo Riddle, his former classmates might come to see him, and there would be more people who would know about it. Maybe someone inside will find something. β
Yes, she didn't think of that. Pauci sat on the edge of the bed, excited and calmed down.
"And ......," said Red, sitting in his chair and looking at Pauss cautiously, "Father is not a fool. Whatever we tell him, I'm guessing he'll find out for himself. I think it's only a matter of time before he finds out the truth. He didn't quite know what Both was thinking, but it seemed like she was trying to take her father home and pretend that the family had never been separated.
Red starts to get worried, he thinks his mom is starting to lose her mind, and she still has illusions about his father that he will get better. But even if he loses all the memories of his evil deeds, his father will still be his father, and he will not change from a snake to a lion.
"Mom, we need to think about it again." He said.
The next day, before class, Red went to find Dumbledore, and it was evident that the old wizard had not slept all night, and that there were countless magic books piled up beside him.
"Professor, I have a problem." He brought the old wizard a cup of honey tea that he liked.
"Rhett? Well, what do you want to say? Dumbledore asked, taking off his glasses.
Red voiced his concern: "Father is still father, he won't become another person because he lost his memory, maybe we should lock him up." β
Dumbledore looked at the teacup as if there was another world there: "We always have to imagine well. Whether it's your mom or me, we all think we should give Tom another chance before he is sentenced to death. He put down his teacup, put on his glasses, looked at Rhett and said, "You didn't get a chance to meet your father, he was actually a very good man." β
- just on the wrong track.
Red gave up convincing him, he stood up and picked up his book to get ready to go to the classroom: "Well, it turns out that a brilliant genius is much scarier than a fool who goes the wrong way. "If a fool would only go a hundred yards in the wrong direction, he might have driven ten kilometers in a car that day. It's much harder to go back and find the right way.
Moreover, geniuses are not as willing to listen to other people's opinions as stupid.
Later, he decided to use both spells and potions, hoping that he would really forget them all.
"Maybe he'll turn out to be a fool." Red said.
A fool is also better than a madman. Ross didn't, she couldn't imagine Tom being a fool. If he just sits there every day, he needs to be taught anything......
"Let's go now!" Paussie can't wait to say with the potion bottle!
Red looked at her strangely, how did he think his mother wanted his father to be a fool?
The three of them still follow the same path as the Myrtle Girl's bathroom to enter the chamber, and Myrtle is tricked into going to the Gryffindor prefect's bathroom by Red.
Hopefully, the big man won't take a shower and find a female ghost next to him.
He thinks irresponsibly.
The Chamber of Secrets is just like it used to be when the basilisk lived, but some places looked like they had been blown open by a spell, and some pipes had collapsed.
"Looks like my father has been trying to find a way to get out." Tom Station is already about to be unrecognizable, said in the back room.
Paucus was a little nervous, she was worried that Tom had escaped.
Dumbledore said, "It's okay, he can't leave Hogwarts. "If he keeps that elder's wand in his hands. Unless he throws it away, he'll never get out.
"Tom." "You come out." β
"Mom, do you really think he's going to come out?" Red didn't believe his mom could be so stupid.
"Of course I do." "I just wish he was a little nervous." β
Dumbledore asked both Paoth and Red to stand behind him, "Tom, come out, let's talk." β
A minute later, Tom came out from behind a wall, and he looked like he had just come out of the ballroom. Although he was still wearing Menfa Skeeter's silk wizard's robes.
"Fortunately." He smiled, holding the Elder's wand in his hand. He shifted his gaze from Dumbledore to Poise and Red behind him, "Paus, Red, my wife and son. β
"Father." Red greeted him very politely, and the two of them were like looking in a mirror except for the different wizarding robes.
"Dear." In her arms, she still has the large bottle of potion she bought from Sgollahhorn that would make Tom lose his memory and become 'as pure as a baby'. She looked at Tom tenderly, like a queen baby.
- He's very good.
Tom lingered on her gaze for a moment, and then he said, "If I'm not mistaken, have you already decided what to do with me?" β
Both Paoth and Red looked at Dumbledore, which made Tom immediately take Dumbledore as the mastermind of everything!
His angry eyes were about to breathe fire, and Dumbledore sighed helplessly and said, "Tom, we are all doing this for you!" β
"Hah! This is ridiculous! Tom, of course, wouldn't believe it, so he raised his wand. But maybe Dumbledore had already done something to his wand? Anyway, when a green light flashed, it was Tom who fell to the ground.
"Let's go!" Dumbledore said.
The three of them walked up to Tom, Dumbledore picked up the Elder's wand first, and Paise held the potion and asked, "Will you give him a drink now?" β
Dumbledore nodded, and Red had already helped Tom up, and used magic to make him open his mouth, urging, "Point! I don't know how long he'll pass out! We must accelerate! β
He was right. Pauss wasted no more time, she shoved the mouth of the potion bottle into Tom's mouth and slowly poured him a whole bottle of potions. It's about two gallons.
After the pour, she looked at Tom's face worriedlyβhe hadn't woken up yet, and she said, "He didn't look much changed." "Did the potion work?
"Are you going to wake him up?" Red is ready to use the Scorpion Stinging Charm.
"No, let's cast the spell again." She said to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore was a little undetermined with his wand, after all, the Gorrahhorn potion was supposed to be very effective, and he wasn't sure if the combination of the two would really cause Tom some irreparable problems.
"Professor!" Baosi urged.
"Okay." Dumbledore finally raised his wand, "Prith, maybe Tom will be a completely different person." β
"I'm well prepared." She said firmly.
After a flash of white light, Tom was born.
The first thing he said when he opened his eyes was, "Who are you?" He asked Paus.
"Your wife." Pauss looked at him, as if it were no different, he was like facing a stranger, full of vigilance and false politeness.
"My wife?" He sat up and found himself in a strange place: "You mean I'm married?" β
It seems that none of Tom thinks he will get married.
Rose smiled and pulled Redra over to the side, "This is our kid. β
"Oh." Tom seemed to believe that Red looked exactly like him.
"Then how did I end up here?" He then asked.
Rose, Red, and Dumbledore looked at each other, none of them thinking about how to answer the question.
ββ¦β¦ You kowtow and fall. Paussy said dryly.
ββ¦β¦ That's unfortunate. Tom squinted his eyes and smiled.
Dumbledore cleared his throat: "Let's order it, it's too cold here, it's not good for Tom's health." He needed a full body check-up to see if he had knocked his head. β
"Tom?" He frowned in disgust, "Is this my name?" "I could tell he didn't like it very much.
Pauss took him by the hand: "You have another name." β
"Oh? What is it? He asked curiously.
"My husband." She met his surprised gaze and pulled him out of the chamber almost forcefully.
Red followed, feeling that Mom had never been so strong.
- Maybe my mother loves my father, but she hasn't been able to get him. Now, her wish has been granted.
