It didn't take long to finish eating the ice cream.
After all the shopping was done, there was nothing more to worry about, and they were ready to go back.
However, Mo Fei is a little curious about Knockturn Alley, which is next to Diagon Alley.
In the original work, there is a place where a large number of dark wizards gather. From the perspective of many orthodox wizards, it is a breeding ground for garbage and darkness...
Mo Fei had driven people out of London before, and some of them were still unwilling to give in. They were waiting among Knockturn Alley, waiting for the weak to come.
Tom seemed to have noticed the darkness there as well, prompted by Horned Serpent.
However, neither of them proposed to go there and have a look.
After all, doing this in front of Professor Hogwarts is still a bit too rude.
What I want to say here is that Dumbledore is much more serious than Slughorn. After all, when Kyle was in school, he directly left Mo Fei and the others here, and now Dumbledore still plans to take them back through Apparition...
Therefore, the two of them had no chance to continue exploring.
When I returned to the orphanage again, a long time had passed.
Dumbledore glanced at the time, and then planned to leave.
Before leaving, Dumbledore reminded me again.
"Sometimes, you have to use magic appropriately. Excessive exposure to too much magic is sometimes very dangerous... And I always have a bad feeling about that wand. It seems to be too evil..."
As mentioned above, Tom had the intention of listening attentively, but when the magic wand was mentioned, Tom's face turned a little ugly.
Ever since Tom obtained this magic wand, Dumbledore has always had an inexplicable vigilance and resistance on his face.
This made Tom feel very bad, and the repeated tests had already made him a little impatient.
However, after knowing that the person in front of him was the professor who would teach him in the future, he restrained his tone somewhat, and said slightly stiffly, "I know, professor, but Ollivander also knew that there was nothing wrong with the wand before he handed it to me, right..."
Dumbledore's eyes are very complicated.
Just looking at Tom, he couldn't help but think of his original partner - Gellert, who also had the same outstanding talent, the same ancient wand, and the same ambition...
These similarities made him have the idea that if he could guide Tom to the 'right path', would that mean that he could reconcile with his former partner...
The idea started to take root like a seed.
Dumbledore didn't say anything else, kept the ticket, and left.
After there were no outsiders, Mo Fei and Tom finally sat down to talk about entering Hogwarts.
"Come on, Tom, sit down, what are your plans in Hogwarts?"
Mo Fei's question is a bit puzzling. What does it mean to have a plan?
Tom was also confused, but in the end he sat next to the dean.
"Dean, what do you mean?"
Mo Fei also realized that his words were a bit confusing, so he changed his approach, "You have also experienced Kyle's experience of studying in Hogwarts. What I have to say is that he didn't find what he wanted to do until he was in fifth grade..."
"You are different from him. You are much more mature than him, so now I want to ask you, what direction do you plan to develop in the future? Become a professor at a magic school? Enter Ministry of Magic? Travel around the world until you become Magic Master..."
Many choices were proposed one by one by Mo Fei, many of which were a bit too profound for an eleven-year-old child.
Mo Fei did not treat Tom as a child at all, but as if he was talking to his peers.
This kind of respect is the position that Mo Fei has always maintained. Regardless of the size of the child, it is important to respect everyone's choice.
Tom also understood what the dean meant. He was asking about his future wishes.
At this time, he finally spoke what was in his heart.
"Dean, do you know my life experience?"
He asked this question.
Mo Fei frowned slightly, but still nodded, "Didn't the professor who taught you before mention it, Slytherin's bloodline..."
Tom smiled bitterly, "This legendary bloodline is really magical. I can always feel the call from the depths of the bloodline. At the same time, some magic is inexplicably familiar to me... For example--"
"Serpensortia!"
Tom pointed the wand at the ground, and then a poisonous snake appeared out of thin air.
Mo Fei looks familiar. Isn't this the same venomous snake that Tom dissected for the first time?
And now, this poisonous snake appears again through magic, which makes Mo Fei a little surprised by the magic of magic.
"I know clearly that many magics are very simple for me. Even if I haven't practiced before, I can easily get started... Not to mention, Charms, who I didn't have a wand to practice by myself before..."
"Wingardim·Leviosa!"
Tom's wand pointed at the teapot on the side, and the teapot flew up lightly, and then landed steadily on the table.
"After getting the wand, I can finally cast spells more easily... But I also know that this kind of thing not only depends on me, but also is a gift from my ancestors..."
"I don't believe there is such a kind gift, so I want to thoroughly investigate the matter about Slytherin, and then really go out on my own path..."
"If you want to investigate the legendary wizard, two places are the best places to investigate - Hogwarts and the old house of Slytherin, which inherits the bloodline Gaunt family..."
"I heard that my uncle and grandfather are still alive. I also want to know why my mother abandoned me at the door of the orphanage."
Tom's calmness made Mo Fei not sure what to say, "Are you resenting them?"
"Resentment, of course not... The orphanage is very good, and I have learned a lot, but this is not the reason why they abandoned me, so... I have to ask everything clearly before making a decision..."
Tom seemed a little surprised by Mo Fei's question, and then quickly gave his answer.
"In that case, just do it. Whether it is Hogwarts or Gaunt family's old house, you can investigate it. If you are afraid of danger, I can also help you take a look... After all, my strength is not bad..."
Tom was very moved by this and refused.
"No, the wizard's methods are very strange. You don't know much about these magics. Besides, this is my path. Do I have to try it myself?"
Tom Assassin acted very relaxed. With the support of Mo Fei, he felt more at ease.
Mo Fei also found a locket from the study and handed it to him, "Take it, this is the locket that was stuffed in your infancy. The unfamiliar patterns on it should be related to Gaunt family. It may be of some help to you in the future..."
"Originally, this thing should have been given to you after you became an adult, but now it seems that maybe it would be more helpful to give it to you earlier..."
