“…… Tom. ”

When Dumbledore heard this voice with a dangerous sweetness, like a thorny flower, he once again raised his wand and aimed it at the inside of the cage in a movement that was so fast that it was almost impossible to see for an old man: "Sure enough, you have been possessed by your daughter all along!" ”

"Don't make such a fuss, Dumbledore."

Delphi ...... No, Voldemort, who was now using Delphi's body, laughed softly, and in that laughter, there seemed to be five points of smugness and five points of disdain.

At this moment, in the face of Dumbledore's raised Elder Wand, the Dark Lord's performance was actually much more normal than that of Delphi, who was a little hysterical, he was not worried that he was in a cage, and continued to say in a relaxed tone: "Haven't you guessed this kind of thing a long time ago?" The kid who went back in time with Delphi must have told you what I was doing to Quirinus Quirrell in the future. ”

"He told me, but I didn't expect you to use this kind of parasitic evil magic on your own daughter!" Dumbledore's tone was filled with anger.

"Parasitism? No, my great Dumbledore, how could you think so? ”

Voldemort laughed again, his smile perfectly suited, matched with Delphi's pretty face, as calmly as the Queen of England receiving guests: "This is clearly a great kind of soul magic, which can make the soulless soul place on the body of the living and share life with them...... It's not some evil dark magic, Dumbledore, a fool like Quirinus Quirrell, just because he can't bear Salazar Slytherin blood. ”

Dumbledore looked at the disciple who had finally revealed his true face, and some unknown emotion flashed in his eyes, but his hand holding the wand did not tremble in the slightest: "Haven't you given up on that cliché bloodline, Tom?" ”

"Why not? Wizard bloodlines do have magical powers, and even you should know that, my dear professor. ”

Voldemort put a hand in front of his eyes and looked back and forth, as if to study which of the different colors of nail polish that Delphi applied to his ten fingers was more colorful and more suitable for him: "Although when I first founded the Knights of Walford, I did want to take advantage of the group of pure-blood fools who were full of ambition and calculation, and the pure-blood family behind them who were gradually losing their former glory. But as time went on, I came to understand that there was something clever about the books in the old antiques' homes...... And I got some inspiration from it. ”

"Like, my name."

Voldemort didn't use his wand, and his fingers swiped in the air, instantly bringing out a shiny green trail that instantly formed his name, Tom Marvolo Riddle.

And with a slight movement of his fingers again, the letters shifted in order in the air, forming a sentence, I am Lord Voldemort, and he himself laughed, "Interesting little anagram, isn't it?" I kind of love my idea, and the powerful old magic that works on the name. ”

“…… Especially, the look of surprise and despair on the faces of the daring wizards when they pronounced the name and I appeared in front of them a few seconds later. ”

"That's how the magic in your name came from...... Dumbledore's long-standing question was finally solved today, he took a deep breath, and then said, "But Tom, I'm not here to talk to you about magic and your family history. ”

"Oh? So what is my dear Transfiguration teacher going to discuss with me? Voldemort casually blew his nails, which seemed to have a hint of green shimmer on them: "For example, reminiscing about the past, and telling us about my prosperous years at Hogwarts?" ”

Dumbledore stared at every movement of Voldemort's finger and shook his head, "I'm here to correct the mistakes I made." ”

Voldemort's movements paused slightly, and Dumbledore continued, "Tom, before coming to Azkaban, the mysterious wizards who came from wandering the sea told me that some people are born evil seeds, and that to those with a keen sense of smell, they smell dirtier than frog pee. ”

Voldemort's movements froze completely, and suddenly, half of her face began to distort again. Half of Delphi's face screamed with a look of disgust, "Shut up! How dare you insult the great Dark Lord like this! You ......"

"I said, quiet, Delphi."

Suddenly, Delphi's voice stopped abruptly like a severed phone, and Voldemort's expression became a little more serious, he no longer lost his previous casualness, but changed to a serious expression and said, "I should have said that, right?" I will give due respect to those who can be my opponents, and those who have defeated me, because to disrespect them is to mock myself...... Just like you tried to insult Harry Potter just now, I've stopped you once. ”

"No matter how mediocre his magic and stupid mind may be, the 'Boy Who Never Dies' escaped me and my Death Eaters by luck in his original future, and he was ultimately victorious...... Moreover, from the moment I heard the prophecy, 'I at that time' personally chose him to be my fierce rival. ”

"And for the rivals that I admit, etiquette, is something to be observed. Delphi, I grant you the right to sit in on the hearing, but that doesn't mean you can go beyond it, and I hope you know how to do it. ”

"Remember, there is no next time."

After saying these words, Voldemort put down his hand, looked Dumbledore squarely for the first time, and said, "It seems that my dear professor has finally decided to kill me?" IMHO, you should have made up your mind sooner. ”

"Tom, you've surprised me once again. Compared to the same you you used to work at Hogwarts, and the future you, you are closer to you when you were in school. ”

Dumbledore looked at Voldemort with a complicated look: "Maybe people will be cranky when they get old...... But I don't understand if this is another layer of disguise hidden under your mask, or if you really went through a lot of things, and even changed yourself again after having a daughter. ”

"So?" Voldemort was not in a hurry, but asked with interest.

To what Voldemort could even call a joke, Dumbledore said firmly, "No, I've been hesitating for too long. ”

"Tom Marvolo Riddle, you're such a natural villain, so as your teacher, I naively thought you could change your ways...... But I was wrong, for your indulgence is cruelty to everyone, so I am obliged to correct myself for this mistake! ”

In Dumbledore's shouts, the Elder Wand in his hand shot a silver glow that hit Voldemort's chest.

"New magic?"

Voldemort looked down at his chest, where a silver glow was spreading, "Not bad. ”

In the next second, his body fell.

- Like a snake that has had its bones removed.
