HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 218 Tom Doesn't Believe in Love

Hannah keeps her word.

A few days later, Tom discovered that the person writing in his diary had changed again.

"I am Harry Potter!"

It really is Harry Potter!

That little Hufflepuff witch didn't lie to me; she really did hand the diary to Harry Potter!

Tom's will is laughing wildly in the diary.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, at least the result was good.

For this reason, when I command the Basilisk to purify Hogwarts in the future, I will spare that little girl's life.

"Hello, Harry, I'm Tom!"

Tom used his tried-and-true trick again.

This time, he was convinced he wouldn't be fooled again.

For a period of time afterward, Tom once again suppressed his ambition, pretending to be a close senior to Harry, answering all his questions and granting his every request.

Harry wanted to improve his abilities, so he taught him powerful dark magic;

Harry wanted a place to train; so he told him the location of the Room of Requirement.

Even when Harry expressed his desire to become a Quidditch master, he was able to guide Harry to the library to find relevant books.

However, Tom always felt that no matter how attentive he was, Harry always had a faint sense of wariness towards him, as if there was an invisible, pathetic, thick barrier between them.

On this day, "Harry" came again.

Tom, do you know that Valentine's Day is coming soon?

Valentine's Day?

Is it already February?

Tom was momentarily dazed.

He still remembers that the first time he came into contact with Draco was at the end of September.

So, by that calculation, I've been awake for over four months?

Good heavens!

For over four months, a full 120 days, I actually spent all my time playing house with a few young wizards, while Hogwarts...

The grand plan to purify Ci has made absolutely no progress!

Even so, I still haven't been able to gain the little wizard's complete trust!

I am the mighty Dark Lord!

How could they be so incompetent?!

Thinking of this, Tom was filled with grief and indignation.

If he had a body, he might have been so angry that he vomited blood long ago.

Fortunately, he is now just a will, a fragment of a soul without a body, created by the original body, an object without emotions, existing only to purify Hogwarts.

He can use counterintuitive, illogical, and inhumane methods to continue along the established path!

Valentine's Day is coming soon, so what's next? Are you planning to confess your feelings to your beloved senior, Qiu Zhang?

Throughout his life, Voldemort never believed in love.

His wizard mother, Merop Gaunt, was a renowned Slytherin descendant with a bright future ahead of her:

His Muggle father, Tom Riddle, is a handsome young Muggle nobleman, the most dashing guy in the surrounding villages, and the dream lover of countless girls.

Melop fell in love with Tom, so despite everyone's objections and the risk of being expelled from her family, she used the extremely dishonorable method of aphrodisiacs to seduce him and elope with him.

After living together for a while, Melop became pregnant.

Perhaps Merope thought that "the deed was done" and that her lover would stay for the sake of the family; perhaps she believed in the illusory love she had created; or perhaps she simply wanted to fill the emotional void that the love potion couldn't fill. In any case, she stopped using the love potion on her husband.

As a result, after regaining consciousness, Tom abandoned his wife and children and ran away without a second thought.

This is perfectly normal.

If you were to switch the genders of Merope and Tom, it would be a British version of "Kui Mulang and the Princess of Baoxiang Kingdom" (a story from "Journey to the West").

When Sun Wukong brought Princess Baoxiang back, he knew to kill the two children she had with the demon!

Old Tom had already done more than enough by not killing the child in Maplow's womb.

Of course, it's also possible that he actually wanted to do that, but ultimately couldn't muster the courage to harm a witch, or simply couldn't do it.

Melop was heartbroken after Tom left.

Since she had been expelled from the family and hadn't obtained any money from the Riddles when she eloped, she was subsequently...

During her days in poverty, she had to make a living by selling jewelry (including Slytherin's locket), and lived a very frugal life.

Ten months later, Melop gave birth to a baby boy.

She named her child Tom Riddle, the same name as his father, abandoned him at the gates of an orphanage, and then chose to die.

Voldemort only learned these things when he found his biological father.

Tom, during his student days, was unaware of his parents' love story.

But he has never felt a single bit of love since the moment he was born!

Tom in the diary also expressed a strong aversion to love, and consequently, an inexplicable disgust for Valentine's Day on February 14th every year.

However, this time, Tom was really looking forward to Valentine's Day.

Because he had already come up with a really bad idea. Since Harry liked that little Ravenclaw witch, he would take this opportunity to lure Harry onto the wrong path!

Whether it's getting Harry to use the Imperius Curse to control the other person and make them agree to date, or using a love potion to trick the other person into falling in a false love, both are good methods.

Once Harry succumbs to temptation and does it, his heart will inevitably fall into darkness. At that time, I can take advantage of the situation to control Harry's body and complete the plan.

It would be even better if Harry's bad deeds were discovered during this process!

Those politicians in the wizarding world who only know how to fight for fame and fortune will not easily let go of this opportunity to deal with Harry, even if he is the savior.

Or rather, it is precisely because Harry is the savior that he is more likely to attract the attention of politicians!

In times of peace, there is no need for a savior figure, because their existence only serves to constantly remind the public how incompetent the Ministry of Magic is.

If Dumbledore tries to protect Harry Potter, he will eventually get himself into a lot of trouble.

At that time, the charges of abusing the Imperius Curse and love potions, as well as the ugliness of human nature, will surely push Harry further into darkness!

Perhaps he can turn the "savior" in everyone's eyes into the new Dark Lord.

If it really succeeds, wouldn't that mean that Tom in his student days was stronger than both the Dark Lord who would later rule the British magical world and the savior who defeated the Dark Lord?!

Thinking of this, Tom felt every bit of magic in his remaining soul screaming with excitement.

Just as he was feeling smug about his plan, he wrote a sentence in his diary.

"Who told you I like Qiu Zhang?"

Tom froze for a moment: "Isn't that right?"

“That’s not the case!”

Harry wrote, "The person I like is Draco!"
