"I've been investigating things related to Voldemort lately, and I know that I can't fight him anymore. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But I can't tolerate myself and sit back and watch the mistakes I make. ”

Dumbledore looked at George with a sincere gaze, "It's you who can really defeat Voldemort, and I know it's not easy." But whether it's you, or anyone else, we don't have a choice. ”

He turned his gaze to the stone basin, "It's the only thing I can do, I've been investigating Voldemort's information all these years. I've been making all kinds of preparations for his return, and I'm looking for the source of his strength. ”

Dumbledore said in a sighing voice, "I brought him into the wizarding world, and I watched everything he did. I am not innocent, all of Voldemort's sins, are closely related to me. ”

He began to recall his memories of that time, speaking in a trance-like tone.

"That year, I was a Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts. At that time, I was tasked with going to a Muggle orphanage to pick up a student with magical potential. ”

"There I first met the director of the orphanage, Mrs. Cole, a shrewd and kind woman. From her mouth, I learned something about Tom Riddle. ”

His mother wandered to the door of the orphanage on Chinese New Year's Eve, where she gave birth to Riddle, and then she died. ”

"Riddle has had extraordinary potential from an early age, his magic is far more powerful than that of his young wizards, and he is able to control his power without being taught or trained. In the orphanage, he grew up savagely, and he used his special ability to bully other people and show his difference. ”

Dumbledore slowly recalled the scene, "Neither of the first time I met Riddle was a bad impression of each other, he was an arrogant child, using his power unbridled with those who visited. ”

He smiled lightly, "Of course, his power at that time could be used against some Muggles, but when used against me, it will definitely not work." ”

Dumbledore frowned again, "I deliberately scared him for this, and I set his wardrobe on fire with a spell. ”

He then said, "Of course, those illusory flames did not burn his things. But now that I think about it, for children, this kind of demonstration is really inappropriate, maybe I should make a few Barbie dolls. ”

"That would be a good idea, or Transformers would be good. George nodded approvingly, the first impression of magic is very important, and the first magic that comes into contact with it will be fresh in people's memories.

"Maybe it's good to fly, but looking down from the sky will make you see your own insignificance. Dumbledore immediately agreed, and suggested something else.

"That's really good, and the reflection of the stars, the underwater world, the Disney amusement park. George flashed one thought after another, and said gently, "I have to write them down, and when Hogwarts recruits students in the future, the magic that can be displayed must be selected from these." ”

Dumbledore was slightly stunned, and he immediately reacted again, the person in front of him was already the headmaster of Hogwarts. And he, now just a quiet bystander, running for the regrets of the past.

He turned his mind and began to think about what had happened next, and he continued, "I was going to take him to Diagon Alley to help him buy the list of books and supplies he needed, but he hated being around other people, so he immediately refused my request, and he planned to go to Diagon Alley himself. ”

"I didn't insist, but told him the location of the Leaky Cauldron Hotel and the name of Old Tom, and it was clear that he hated Tom's name. ”

Dumbledore said slowly, "In retrospect, it looks like I should have taken him with me to Diagon Alley." It's not a good thing for a bad boy to let them be exposed to more bad things. ”

Over the years, he has reminisced many times about Riddle's memories. He had imagined many times that maybe something would change in a few key places, and then things might change a lot.

If his first magic with Riddle is to conjure a Barbie doll, perhaps Riddle won't be so fanatical about the power of magic. If he had taken Riddle to Diagon Alley, Riddle wouldn't have come into contact with wizards who were too twisted and shady, at least for the first year.

George listened quietly to Dumbledore's recollections, and no one could say for sure what happened in the past. If it wasn't Dumbledore who had gone that time, but a female teacher, maybe something else would have changed.

Thinking of this, he began to think about whether to give priority to beautiful and kind female teachers when recruiting students in the future, which should be of great help to improve the image of the school

"That meeting was something different, but I didn't really take it to heart. Dumbledore said flatly, "After all, I was already one of the most powerful wizards in the wizarding world at that time, and a young man with some talent from an orphanage didn't deserve my attention. ”

"However, when I returned to Hogwarts, I paid special attention to him, after all, I was a teacher at Hogwarts. However, my thoughts at that time were not based on the teacher's concern for the students, and at my age, I did not realize the importance of these concerns. ”

He said lightly, "At that time, I didn't like him, obviously, you heard it just now." For a young wizard, his abilities are very well-established and mature, and without training, he can use his magic to deal with Muggles. ”

"And that's exactly what I don't like, he's discovered that he can control these abilities to some extent and start using them consciously. ”

"When he was in the orphanage, he was already using magic against others, using magic to intimidate, punish and control others. He hanged other people's rabbits and tricked two small children into a cave to scare them. For the sake of his own mood, he is already using the power of magic to hurt others. ”

George could understand Dumbledore's antipathy towards Tom Riddle, powerful wizards like them knew the horrors of power.

Absolute power, which brings absolute corruption, absolute power, which brings unlimited privilege. Without a mind that can harness power, once indulging in the privileges that come with power, a wanton and crazy saboteur begins to slowly take shape.
