Burke Plots to Lure Riddle In; Tom Poisons the Wealthy Old Woman
Christmas is just around the corner.
The weather is getting worse.
For several days in a row, the snow was as heavy as a mat, swirling outside the window; the hailstones were as hard as iron, pounding against someone's window.
Fires blazed in the common room and Great Hall, but the drafty corridors remained bitterly cold.
In previous years, a large group of students would gather outside the castle to have a snowball fight.
This year, I've been staying indoors obediently.
Hailstones the size of sandbags—who would dare go outside?
Only Hagrid!
As the second hardest worker at Hogwarts, he had already dragged the cedar tree into the Great Hall by himself and decorated it as a Christmas tree.
Why is he considered the second model worker?
The first one is definitely Professor Binns. After working for the health of the school for a hundred years, he died and became a ghost, but he was not spared and continued to work.
He sacrificed so much for Hogwarts!
Hagrid dropped out of school in the third grade and was forced to become a child laborer. He worked for fifty years and even held three jobs at the school.
He truly deserves the title of second model worker.
Therefore, Hogwarts is truly a sinful place.
Surrounded by Forbidden Forest, the living environment is harsh; the location is remote, with only one small village nearby, a half-hour drive away; professors die every year, and accidents happen on holidays.
The school further exploited ghosts, enslaved large numbers of House-elf, and illegally employed child laborers like William.
Oh, the evil old society of magic!
Hogwarts is comparable to Gotham City, Los Santos, and Night City!
So here's the problem: if there's only one time travel slot available, and only these four locations to choose from...
And the limited spots at Hogwarts are reserved for Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor...
Which one should I choose?
This multiple-choice question is probably just as absurd as the You-Know-Who Snape fall into the water and you have to save one of them...
However, according to recent statistics, 58% of students are willing to save the You-Know-Who first.
This is largely due to Snape's poor interpersonal skills, and more importantly, Rita's new book is about to be released.
During this period, she has been participating in online interviews every month and releasing some biographical excerpts.
The latest content has already covered... Burke's plan to seduce Riddle, Tom's drugging of the rich old woman.
In short... it's a story about a male version of Pan Jinlian:
After graduating, handsome Little Tom went to work at Borgin and Burkes. One day, while tidying up, his wand fell and hit the wealthy old woman Hepzba Smith on the head.
The wealthy old woman then saw Tom and, under Burke's influence, became his mistress.
Finally, Tom and Burke conspired to steal their wealth and poisoned Hepzba Smith with a Potions.
As soon as this report came out, Burke packed up his train and fled overnight.
He really wanted to fuck Rita to death.
When did he Dark Lord, and when did he ever conspire to seize her family's wealth?
Have you no shame?!
He traveled all over the country, making a living by his keen eye and technical skills.
Such slander against him will make him lose face in the world of Dark Magic item flea markets!
Moaning Myrtle has recently become very popular; female students are all going to her to learn about the Dark Lord's story.
Rita's storytelling ability is top-notch, and she fully utilizes the writing skills of a female author to portray young Tom as a handsome and dashing figure.
In short, just follow William's template!
This led to a sudden influx of Tom fans at Hogwarts.
These love-struck female students are even secretly writing time-travel novels and falling in love with a young Tom.
Given Tom's personality, there's a good chance he'd kill his sister to prove himself, so maybe he should know when to stop with the pranks?
Why don't you pair my Sister Lin with Voldemort in a P-scene?
Rita's series of reports undoubtedly caused a great sensation.
This book, which was hailed by The Daily Prophet as the greatest biography of the 20th century even before its release, has sparked a pre-order frenzy.
Everyone is waiting to be the first to buy it on Christmas Day.
However, within the Death Eaters, it is a closely guarded secret.
Everyone knows this book exists, yet it's as if no one truly knows.
They were on the same wavelength and kept their mouths shut. It seemed that as long as they didn't speak, the Dark Lord would never know.
But Voldemort wasn't a caveman; he read newspapers, occasionally surfed the internet, and kept up with current events.
When he was young and still naive, he would even create a fake account when he had nothing else to do.
They published some Pure-blood opinions in those newspapers, attempting to export their culture.
Of course, while he may use a smurf account, this kind of Durant behavior is more often...
They were all rejected for publication due to their reactionary remarks, insults against the war hero (Dumbledore), and antisocial tendencies.
So, he started taking direct action and avoided talking as much as possible.
For example, last year, he saw an article in the New York Ghost comparing him to Grindelwald.
That article considered him worthless, far inferior to the original Dark Lord.
Voldemort almost took his wand, went to United States, and killed that son of a bitch.
(Tom: Meow meow meow?)
At that moment, he was sitting in a chair, holding a copy of the Daily Prophet, and squinting as he read it.
His face was expressionless, but the bulging veins on his hands and his reddened eyes indicated that he was not so calm, but rather extremely angry.
He hated it when people talked about his past, which is why he abandoned the name Tom Riddle.
But now someone dares to write his biography?
This is a provocation against the great Dark Lord!
In front of him was a long table, with everyone seated on either side.
The door creaked open, and Snape pushed it open and entered.
After his eyes adjusted to the dim light, his gaze was drawn to a strange scene above the long table:
A person, seemingly disoriented, hangs upside down above the table, as if suspended by an invisible rope, slowly rotating.
"Snape," Voldemort's high-pitched, clear voice rang out. "Hurry up and sit down, we've been waiting for you."
Snape quickly sat down not far from Voldemort.
"How's it going?" Voldemort tossed down the newspaper. "Is there an opportunity to strike?"
"Master, the Ministry of Magic has arranged a one-time Floo Network connection so that students can return home quickly and safely," Snape replied humbly, bowing his head.
"This Christmas, Dumbledore has given up using the Express, so he shouldn't have had a chance to make a move."
"It seems our August raid on the express trains has made them start to fear."
Sitting not far from Snape, a short, stout man smiled smugly.
The people around the long table also started laughing.
But Voldemort did not laugh; instead, he said coldly:
"Are you happy, Peter? If I remember correctly, you didn't capture Slughorn during that attack."
Instead, Stark held them off alone, suffering heavy losses of Inferi and Troll armies.
Voldemort, also tainted by Snape's influence, said in a sarcastic tone:
"Maybe fewer of us will die this time, just because Dumbledore used Floo Network, preventing you bunch of useless trash from getting yourselves killed!"
