the Gambler

Tom struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and his vision was filled with dazzling white light. Suddenly a figure stood in front of him, and the other person was talking nervously. Emerald eyes intoxicated.His left hand was pinched gently, and the sensation slowly spread to the dull cerebral cortex, as if he had just gone through 50 years of deep sleep, and his limbs didn't seem to listen to him very much.Harry leaned closer to his ear, and his warm and moist breath hit the sensitive earlobe. Tom shook involuntarily, in exchange for the other party's cheerful laughter.Merlin, as he showed off, Harry was absolutely the perfect mate.

"You don't need to talk, you can rest for a while." Harry gently planted a feathery kiss on Tom's forehead, "You scared everyone, and suddenly passed out in class, no matter who Can't wake you up."

Tom frowned. This is not the plot he remembered. He knew very well that he had just returned to this time and space from the past. If his guess is correct, this time point should be right after the Hogwarts War.When Harry looked very relaxed, there was no trace of war at all.Tom reluctantly tilted his head and looked out the window. The cloudless sky and the figure flying across the window on a broom from time to time, there was no gunpowder smoke, and there were no broken walls, as if it was a peaceful day.

The future is changed.He glanced down at the hands they were clasping. The pair of rings shone brightly in the sunlight.Some things have not changed, it seems that Harry is still his partner, which is the most important thing.Tom opened his mouth, hissing hoarsely from the burning pain, and Harry comprehended immediately, passing the glass of water on the nightstand to his mouth.The cold liquid soothed him a lot.

"Harry, I'm back."

"Merlin! Tom, you just disappeared for 5 minutes!" Probably Tom's recovery finally made Harry relax. He changed his gentle appearance and returned to his original nature, and shouted, "Damn it, I thought you would never come back again!" coming."

"I thought I was just unconscious?" Tom was supported by Harry to sit up, leaning on the pillow and raised half an eyebrow at Gryffindor.

Harry put his calm mask back on suddenly, and said in a relaxed tone, "Of course, Madam Pomfrey can't find the reason for your coma, and I don't even know what happened. How do you feel now?"

evading the problem.Tom could clearly feel Harry's mistrust, and the way he treated himself was so awkward, it felt like he was putting a core inside another identical shell, and it made him extremely uncomfortable.Something is wrong.Tom grabbed Harry's hand and asked seriously, "When did I give you this ring?"

Surprise flashed in Harry's eyes, he pursed his lips and shook his head: "I don't know, neither do Hermione and Ron."

"What do you mean? What do they mean they don't know?" Suddenly a possibility flashed through Tom's mind, and he tightened his grip on the other person, "Harry, what happened to Voldemort?"

This time, Harry's eyes widened in surprise, his excitement overflowing: "You know? You know! Thank God, I thought something was wrong with me, oh my God, everyone said he died 16 years ago. They My memory is completely different from mine! There was no Sorcerer’s Stone in first grade, no Chamber of Secrets in second grade, Sirius caught the mouse in third grade and cleared himself of the crime, and we’ve lived in Black’s old house ever since——Victor, fourth grade Keto Krum won the Triwizard Cup at the end. Well, it’s not quite the other way around, Hermione said I got a new boyfriend after I went on a trip alone in fifth grade,” Harry paused, beautiful Green eyes sparkled. "The boy's name is Thomas Marvolo Gaunt."

"It seems that we are the only ones who have that real memory." Tom breathed a long sigh of relief, his whole body and mind relaxed, "I'm still worried that the future will change too much."

"You went there?" Harry asked curiously. "How long did it take you to find your way back?"

"Three days, I bet I can return to you smoothly." Tom dragged Harry to the hospital bed and sat down, bought his head into the other's neck, and kissed every inch of Harry's naked//exposed skin, Listening to his lover exhale the oppressive panting gently, this kind of life was beyond his imagination two years ago.He loved Harry's warmth and he wasn't going to let it go, there couldn't have been a better moment.

Tom took a few deep breaths.Without war, maybe he should consider taking a political path. If the false memory is correct, they still established the Walpus Knights, although the external reason is to improve dueling skills.And Harry won the championship in an international wizard duel competition. He was generally not favored before the competition. It is said that he was specially recommended by the late headmaster Dumbledore to turn the tide. , the second student at Hogwarts to be awarded the title of Duel Master, even the Ministry of Magic gave him an olive branch.And Harry also planned to accept the position of head of the Auror's office. Although it sounded a bit unbelievable, Harry's unusual magic base dispelled all doubts.

Harry put his arms around Tom's neck, pulled his lover closer to him, and pressed his forehead together: "Yeah, it's a game of life between the two of us."

"By the way, Headmaster Dumbledore's last wish—" The moment Tom was about to press Harry's lips, the latter suddenly separated them and took out a roll of parchment from his pocket, "He wants us to listen together. "

"Tsk."

As soon as the words fell, the parchment burst into dazzling golden light, and Dumbledore's voice as calm as water echoed in the air: "I, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, Under the witness of magic, donate most of my inheritance to Hogwarts, including private library, magic instruments and personal finances. This is a decision I made long ago." The voice paused, and began softened, "Harry James Potter, I leave you the rightful seat of the Wizengamot, and hope you will serve as a shackle in helping Tom ascend to the top of the Ministry of Magic. I know you With the political influence of the Potters and the Black family, the three votes in your hand can largely prevent the passage of any unreasonable bills."

Tom snorted dissatisfied.

"Tom Marvolo Gaunt, I have nothing left for you—"

This time Tom made a sneering sound in a fair manner, and Harry gave him an annoyed stab in the ribs.

"—The only thing I can support you is to vouch for your personality as the chief wizard of the Wizengamot. I believe that even if you are as stubborn as Cornelius Fudge, you will seriously consider my suggestion. I sincerely I hope you will not make a decision that you regret. The entire wizarding world is in dire need of change, and under the joint leadership of you and Harry, the Knights of Walpuss can become the backbone of—”

"He really knows a lot," Tom admitted reluctantly.

"He's Headmaster Dumbledore!" Harry's pride made Tom's face more and more gloomy.

"—Finally, I wish you can work together to bring a new tomorrow to the wizarding world."

"Nonsense," Tom muttered.

"Oh, sorry, I also prepared a present for you." Dumbledore's voice became cheerful, and Harry could imagine the headmaster sitting behind the long table eating lemon sherbet, his blue eyes slightly Squinting, the beard twitched and jumped because of the chewing muscles.

Tom watched as the parchment was engulfed in the sudden flames, and he grabbed Harry's hand hard, his heart beating violently in his chest, and the strong rhythm made him smile.As much as Harry was a source of strength to him, he had never been so alive before, and the warmth made his insides churn.

Harry could feel Tom's fingers trembling slightly as he squeezed back, and his agitation wasn't much better.His heart was pounding like a snare drum, almost bursting out of his chest.The moment the paper was completely burned, a red light enveloped the two of them, and he watched in amazement as the life-like light circled seven times above his head, swishing into the paired rings.Afterwards, the silver ring burned to a comfortable temperature.

"What's that?" Harry asked curiously.

"The blessing of the phoenix." Tom marveled. "This ensures that our magic power and soul will always be linked together, relying on each other and influencing each other. More importantly, both parties to the contract cannot harm each other."

"and then?"

"This is a crazy gamble." Tom murmured, "Dumbledore will count on me even after death. He knew that we could not be separated from the day we signed the contract, so he kept doing nothing to ensure that we restricted our coexistence. Our lives are tied together, so that when you die normally, I will die with you, and then cancel the effect of the soul slice in your body, ending my wish for eternal life. Damn, he is really a sinister and cunning guy."

"Death is a new journey, don't want to go with me? It's sad, Tommy."

"Shut up, give me a litter of Slytherins first, and I'll think about it later."

In the huge principal's office, Tom looked at Dumbledore's portrait expressionlessly.In order to give the two of them a private space, all the previous principals went to the house under the pretext of visiting, which made the originally vibrant room look particularly desolate and indifferent.Fenghuang raised his neck and let out a long cry, and the melodious cry echoed for a long time.

"You are Voldemort," said Dumbledore in the portrait. "And Tom. I should have thought of that."

"You are smarter than I thought, Dumbledore. It's a pity that the memory of the portrait cannot be changed." Tom confessed indifferently.

"You will find that my mouth is very tight, Tom." Dumbledore stroked his silver-white beard, and winked at Tom, in a particularly happy mood, "If you can love Harry as before, I won't tell him the truth."

"That's not something you need to worry about."

"You mean you're going to love Harry with your life?"

"Otherwise why do you think I came back?" Tom said gruffly. "Time travel is the most dangerous thing, there is no one."

"I think so too." Dumbledore smiled, "You will find that the magic of the portrait is connected to Hogwarts itself, unaffected by the twisted history, so I know exactly what happened between you and Harry. In fact, Harry came to see me a while ago, when you were unconscious."

"What did he tell you?"

"I'm very tight-lipped, Tom."

"You are as annoying as ever, Dumbledore." Tom turned around and strode out, the door was shut heavily with a loud sound.The other principals seemed to have been instructed, and they reappeared in the photo frame in the blink of an eye.Phineas Black wrinkled his nose at Dumbledore: "You're the only one who can smile so happily under the circumstances."

"There's no need to be so mean, Phineas." Dairis Deventer, the headmistress who had been St. Mungo's healer, showed disapproval. "Albus has every right to be happy, after all, he s student."

"Yeah, yeah, everything went as Harry planned, shouldn't I be proud?" Dumbledore couldn't help chuckling, and finally the voice gradually became louder, until the portrait of the entire principal's office was covered by him Contagion of happiness, "He is the biggest winner."

Why does the author talk so much

[Explanation of the foreshadowing of the dark line]

0. Before writing this article, I actually thought for a long time about the possibility of Fuhasi Pihe in the original book—[It’s so fucking small]!How could Harry fall in love with his enemy!Voldemort doesn't even have the official seal of love!I think, falling in love with Fuha requires the joint efforts of both parties, and it is impossible for a really young Tom to waste energy on this, so a rather subtle setting is taken: 53 years is a cycle that never ends time loop.Let's assume that the broken old Volt can be repaired.From the point in time 53 years later, the old V (Tom a in this article) who was successfully repaired under various necessary conditions was thrown back to the past, and the emotions of the old V (Tom b) at that time influenced (stimulated) (excited) ), and with the help of Harry and Deng Xiaoping, he managed to meet his customs clearance requirements.At this time, Tom made the decision to let his third clone Tom c die, destroying the entire ring. 53 years is a constant reciprocating endless loop, completed by Tom A and Tom B, and Tom A is free from the loop, his appearance broke the loop, so Tom C was born.Tom C explained why Voldemort chose Harry as the son of prophecy, because Harry needs to be a Horcrux, which is used to determine the accuracy of the object of time and space jump;

1. Harry's last tears of killing Voldemort were due to uncertainty about the future. He was determined to use the Death Curse to send Voldemort back to the past, but there was no way to determine the possibility of success. Even if he succeeded, Voldemort would not necessarily come back.This is also where the biggest bet is, if Voldemort gives up his feelings for Harry and chooses to stay in the past, Tom who stays in this time and space will also disappear;

2. The sight that Harry saw when he put on the Ravenclaw crown explained the existence of Voldemort and Tom;

3. The red smoke of the memory ball means that Tom lost his memory instead of Voldemort;

4. The ring can still jump in time and space, which means that the soul piece in Harry’s body has not disappeared, and it also ensures that Voldemort will return to Harry who belongs to him. Here I consider the existence of other Harrys set in parallel worlds;

5. Dumbledore died of old age for the second time. Before Tom came back, Harry told him all the situation, so there was a last wish;

6. Voldemort is kept in the dark throughout the text, and Harry only learns the whole truth when he puts on the crown.Tom didn't know it in the early stage. He wanted both Voldemort's power and Harry's love.Tom has a scar on his chest that is older than Voldemort. Harry thought it was caused by mutual injury, but Tom knew that it was a manifestation of healing, so he was truly sure that he and Voldemort were one, and he also introduced himself as the real future, so he came to The final design made Harry promise that even if he was Voldemort, he would still love him. Tom deduced that Voldemort had to go back to the past, but he didn't know how;

7. Harry has always been unable to distinguish between Voldemort and Tom, and he still feels guilty. It is not his fault. In the setting, they are two exactly the same people, whether it is magic or soul quality.Tom can't use the Patronus Charm because he has lost his memory;

8. The quality of the soul is equal.From the very beginning, Tom was the five-eighths soul who lost the diary and Gunter ring, but he always thought he was six-sevenths, which is easy to understand here;

9. In the article, the portraits of dead people are privately set to have memories beyond time and space, such as Abraxas Malfoy and the previous principals after returning to the future;

10. Tom's early appearance is the beginning of the whole game.The Goddess of Fate's act of disrupting the game is the handwriting found by Tom that hints at the number of Horcruxes.Lady Luck's act of disrupting the game is what ultimately crowns Harry, the only one who knows all the truth.Of course, this is just an analogy, so that the chips on both sides can be seen more clearly, not to say that there is really a goddess;

11. The simple understanding of Tom's setting is the time loop. For details, you can refer to the original Harry in the future going back to the past to disperse the dementors and save Sirius.But in fact, this is a paradox explained by science as impossible. Since Rowling wrote it, I didn't care.With Harry are Tom A and Tom B, and the soul slice in Harry's body is Tom C.Finally, even if there are bugs, please pretend that you didn’t find them. It’s all the fault of time travel being too esoteric. Yes, it has nothing to do with the author.

Finally, thank you for your long-term support, okay...
