"It doesn't taste good to look at yourself with a pair of thick woolen socks, right?" Roger didn't turn his head, just sat motionless in front of the mirror. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info (Wool socks imply affection, alluding to Dumbledore's sister Ariana)

"Looks like you really know a lot ......," Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Well, more than you can imagine. Roger's voice was flat, without the out-of-the-box and frivolous nature of the past.

"More more?" Dumbledore asked.

Roger finally moved, he raised his eyes and glanced at Lao Deng: "Don't repeat the last half of the sentence, it's meaningless, there is something to say." ”

Dumbledore laughed, "But you ran here to lure me out......" The unspoken words behind it are obvious, you came to me and asked me what was the matter?

The boy stopped looking at him, put his hands behind his head and lay down straight, looked at the dim ceiling, and said faintly, "You should know that I'm going to look for Quirrell... I'm looking for him and I'm looking for you, I just want to talk. ”

Old Deng did not lie down with him this time, but sat there looking at the boy, and said in a rather amusing tone, "I heard that your talk has broken down? ”

"Alas... It's not ...... talk," Roger sighed, and the conversation between the two was like a casual conversation between good friends of equal status, "I accidentally knocked Tom unconscious... I couldn't hold back for a moment and left a few words on his face......"

Dumbledore was not surprised by this result at all, and was still happy: "I'm curious now, what made you choose me?"

The lying boy glanced at the old man and sneered, "You don't take that as a vote, do you?" I always thought Peter Pettigrew was a big gift. ”

"Peter is just a stepping stone... It doesn't matter to me or to him. Dumbledore waved his hand casually, "Back to the previous question, why didn't you side with him?"

Roger pouted: "I said, I know more than you think......"

The boy's voice was flat and cold, slowly telling the secret of the year: "The fruit of love borne by the elixir of love, I was snubbed and bullied in the orphanage, and I only knew my life experience when I was about to graduate, because I had nothing to rely on, so I wanted to become stronger, so I could only become stronger." ”

Behind the admiration for pure-bloods and extreme narcissism, there was a deep inferiority complex, and the only pride he had at the time was the slightest bit of Slytherin blood ties. ”

"Disappointment, fear, not daring to face it, fear that you will lose everything around you, simply and thoroughly pursue power, the pursuit of eternity. Who else is on the path of thorns but himself?"

"Tom Riddle has been lonely for so long that he can't trust anyone. ”

Dumbledore stared blankly at the boy lying on the floor, and was silent for a long time, "Then why did you choose me?"

"Because... I want him dead. Roger spoke bloody, flatly.

There was a long silence again, and only the occasional Harry drunken murmur came from the quiet classroom.

"Affection...... Dumbledore's exclamation broke the suffocating silence as he reached out and wiped his eyes.

Roger raised a hand and put it in front of his eyes to look at it, but didn't answer, "Snape's memories of me using the Dementor have already been handed over to you... How many times have you watched it?"

"Countless times. ”

The boy nodded understandingly: "What do you think?"

"It's inevitable that you'll be on my side......" Dumbledore said calmly.

"Then what are you hesitating about, afraid that I will become Voldemort's second?" Roger smiled.

"The world will not tolerate those who come back from hell, people intentionally or not, will only push them to hell again. Dumbledore looked at those memories and obviously thought that Roger had risen from the dead, and coupled with the immortality, it was indeed easy for him to misunderstand.

Hearing this, Roger sat up, and his tone, which had been flat, returned to his old cheerfulness: "Yes, yes, like the things you did to Tom, the only one you who has seen and understood his soft and helpless side, always wary and unhesitating to give up." When you wanted to go back to Hogwarts as a teacher, you were sensitive to the fact that he had a plan? I don't think that with so many followers inside and outside the school at the time, he had to be hands-on to find treasures or recruit troops. ”

This "hell" of Voldemort and Roger's hell are not the same thing as what Deng said, and the boy confuses the concepts, neither admitting nor denying it.

Dumbledore gave him a deep look and said in a melancholy tone, "I did a lot wrong with Tom......"

"Admit your mistakes, and then resolutely not change them...... Gee...... It's a good habit. Roger patted his ass and stood up, pointing to Harry who was lying naked on the ground, "He'll send him back by you, I'm too lazy to go so far with him in my hands." ”

Dumbledore sat in front of the mirror and looked at the collapsed little savior, and asked flatly, "Why did you let him drink?"

"If you're going to get something that you've never got, then you're going to have to do something you've never done before. The boy said something inexplicable, smiled and opened the door and walked out of the dilapidated classroom.

It was a long time after he was gone that Dumbledore slowly stood up in a low voice, "Do people who have climbed up from the end of their lives really care about their current families...... Or ......"

The voice became smaller and smaller, and by the end it had simply become the incitement of the lips.

Roger was in a good mood when he left the classroom, and he chatted face-to-face with Dumbledore, the old glass, and sure enough, he achieved great results.

From Dumbledore's appearance to Roger's walk out of the classroom, all the words in this period were psychological confrontations, and there was a dark tide surging during the period.

Old Deng was using the limited information he knew to test the boy's true intentions.

And Roger, hehe...... Dumbledore was not so easy to get along with, he was very intelligent, and his arrangement was used throughout Harry Potter, and he had to play tricks to get even.

From now on, things are finally going in the direction he wants, and Dumbledore is no longer afraid to do anything about him.

Of course, Roger's actions have never stepped on the sidelines of Old Deng, and Harry has a very good relationship with him, and he has also not deviated from the path of Old Deng's tempering of Harry.

That's why Dumbledore didn't take any steps and kept his eyes on Roger.

After all, on the road of the savior's rebellion against the Great Demon King, you need partners who fight side by side.

If Roger behaved like a normal student, it would be fine, but he showed countless doubts, which could not help but make Dumbledore think about it.

However, after Snape's receptive, Old Deng really began to look at him.
