Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

Remus walked forward with his head lowered, and looked up at Severus. His heart was filled with guilt again, "Let's go for a walk..."

"Oh...Okay, sir, we will come back later to help..."

Tom lowered his head and patted Severus on the head, "Let's talk slowly, we don't need you here, I will call Dobby over, he has nothing to do at home anyway..."

The little wizards left the kitchen one after another, and Severus looked around at the spacious and tidy yard. It was much better than Cokeworth.

When he was there, he, like everyone else, was wearing old, altered clothes. The only difference was that his clothes were clean.

Remus followed Severus's line of sight and looked at the children hanging clothes to dry in the yard, and explained in a low voice to the people around him, "Those children, like us, will be able to enter Hogwarts in a few years."

"They were all orphans found in the Muggle world. Ian and Mickey brought them here...Mr. Riddle left a lot of money here."

"My father also works here. It was my husband who kindly took us in..."

Remus smiled, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration, "Sir is very kind. For those children, life here is like heaven..."

"Yeah...it's easy to see." Severus looked away, he could understand why this is heaven...

Without the fear and abuse of Muggle parents, without being treated like monsters, living with peers who have the same experience...

You can show your specialness as you like, and you can ask how magical the magic is at any time...

Remus noticed that the people around him were a little panicked. He lowered his eyes and remembered the rumors he had heard. Mr. and Mrs. Snape passed away long ago.

Only a little wizard was left, who was taken in by Mr. Riddle...

"However, my mother believes that the life here should be a bit poorer. After all, this is an orphanage and it cannot be too ostentatious."

Severus nodded and continued walking forward, walking along the corridor to the open space, "Okay, let's get down to business now. I don't think it's your fault."

"So you don't have to be so careful. I won't take my anger out on you, but... I need to remind you that if you still hang out with that idiot, then be careful..."

"After all, next time...if that idiot comes to provoke me again, I won't hesitate. Whether it's black magic or evil curses, I will teach him a lesson."

Touching the tip of his nose, Remus tilted his head, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "I'm just a weak guy, Severus... I believe in your accuracy and the spell will not miss."

Somewhat surprised, but quickly figuring out something, Severus raised his eyebrows, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "An arrogant and ignorant idiot, I do sympathize with him."

Yes, even if the person Mr. Riddle rescued entered the lion's pile, how could he be stupid enough to have a heart-to-heart with an idiot... At least after this incident, the precious friendship will have cracks.

In Malfoy Manor, Lucius was confined in a secret room in the study, and his father did not punish him badly.

But this was the result he least wanted. He would rather be beaten than see his father's extremely disappointed look.
