the Gambler

Dumbledore left.

Tom adjusted his silver and green tie in the full-length mirror, and he couldn't help smiling amusedly at the thought.The armrest in the shape of a mirror vine sticks out and presses against the center of the glass, and twists and turns to reveal an awe-inspiring look. It spits out an aria-like praise with a low male voice like a cello: "Oh, you are like the brightest morning star in the sky—"

Tom wasn't glaring at the noisy thing as hard as before, and he was in a good mood now.Leaving Dumbledore's radar was probably the best thing that Umbridge woman did, no one, but it also declared that her use value had disappeared.The Weasley twins' shenanigans were a success, and Umbridge's first day on the job was pretty much spent running around dealing with their mess, and Tom thought of Pink Toad as disgraced, pissed off, and not good at showing it , the smile on his face got bigger.Weasley had done a great job, they clearly had brilliant minds and eccentric ideas, and maybe he could get them both under his wing one day, if he managed to get rid of the veiled disgust and fear in the twins' eyes.

interesting.The excitement of being challenged hummed under the surface of the skin. He has always used the perfect posture of a model student to fascinate the idiots of other colleges and make them willingly become his pawns. But this time and space is very different, at least he obviously He could feel the obvious hostility towards him from Harry and the people around him.This makes the process of taming them a lot more interesting.

"What's going on, you look very happy?" Harry's figure appeared in the mirror, and Tom pulled up his coat and turned to meet the boy's puzzled expression.Harry had obviously just come out of bed, his hair was in a messy bird's nest shape, and he was fumbling in all directions.Tom raised his wand, and he noticed Harry wince.With a strong sense of vigilance, in order to save the time of explanation, he quickly adjusted the other party's hairstyle to make the famous 'Porter' look more stylish.Harry thanked him and slipped quickly into the bathroom, and it didn't take long before the boy reappeared in front of Tom.The green eyes under the beer bottle cap met his own firmly, and a sudden shudder ran down his spine. Avada green is Tom's favorite color, not to mention almost no one would dare A blatant gesture of confrontation.

The dark-haired Slytherin led the way out of the room, followed closely by Harry.He trotted two steps side by side with Tom: "So why are you in such a good mood?"

"Dumbledore is gone."

"Oh——" Harry dragged his tone, which really made Tom feel happy, but Harry was not very good. Everything showed that he could only rely on Professor McGonagall now. Speaking of which, Hagrid didn’t know where he was. return.He glanced outside the castle, and there was black mist coming from the chimneys of the cabins on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.Harry's heart suddenly beat violently, Hagrid is back!

"He's back," Harry whispered, and Tom looked out suspiciously.

"Who's back?"

"Hagrid." Harry faced Tom firmly. He clearly remembered that it was the person in front of him who made Hagrid expelled from school. In the end, it was Dumbledore who came forward, and the friendly half-giant was able to stay in Hogwarts as a forest guard. staff position.

Sure enough, Tom's face instantly turned into disgust, and he frowned and said disdainfully, "Is he still at Hogwarts?"

"Yeah, and a good friend of mine." Harry snorted, picking up speed and leaving Tom behind, the bastard was worth his attitude!

Umbridge still had a fake smile on her face. She tapped on the blackboard to signal everyone to put away their wands, but no one moved. After all, after so long, everyone got used to her teaching method, and no one took out their wands after entering the classroom. .There was a thick "Defense Against the Dark Arts Theory" spread out in front of Harry, and Umbridge's small toad-like eyes stared at the boy viciously from time to time. Harry looked up and smiled brightly at the witch, Umbridge Qi looked away angrily.

Tom sat on Harry's left with his chin propped up. He looked at Umbridge with interest. Harry could almost see the gears in his head spinning rapidly, and there was a tightness in his chest.Hermione lowered her voice to remind Harry, who turned his head and looked ahead, meeting Umbridge's displeased gaze.

"Do you know which charms I just mentioned are compulsory for grades, Mr. Potter?"

"I don't know," Harry said dejectedly.

"Fifty points to Gryffindor for your distraction." Umbridge smiled smugly, Gryffindor House wailed, and Hermione looked at Harry disapprovingly, making him feel a little The thought of banging your head on the table.Tom caught Harry's attention by tapping his fingers lightly on the board.

"I think you need to deepen your practice of silent and wandless magic." Tom lowered his voice and said in a very flat tone, "This can be very convenient, especially when dealing with some waste that only relies on wands." As soon as the words fell, Harry said Hearing the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, he turned his head to the direction of the sound source. Umbridge's obese body was lying on the ground, and the specimen jar on the lecture table fell not far from her head, a dark green liquid paste He touched the woman's head, and the unpleasant smell of formalin wafted in the air.Umbridge got up from the ground in a panic. She swung the oddly short wand to clean up the stains on her body, but the disgusting smell was still there.The woman showed a disgusted expression.Harry felt secretly refreshed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help rising.Ron hid his face with a book and giggled, and Harry realized that almost everyone had the same smile on their faces.

"I don't know how she fell, it's so funny." Ron admired, and he still hated Umbridge for expelling the twins, even though it was their own choice, and he was the one who accepted the roaring letter.Of course, Ron blamed the old hag for all his faults, and Harry couldn't help but applaud his friend's rich vocabulary after a few days of abuse.

"It's about time for her to disappear," Tom said suddenly, and all three looked at him in shock.

"What do you want to do?" Harry whispered, the strange feeling in his chest was getting stronger and stronger, Tom wouldn't want to kill Umbridge, would he?McGonagall made it clear that there was no need for another senior Ministry of Magic investigator to intervene at Hogwarts.

But she was already in complete control of Hogwarts, so that reason was no longer valid.A small voice in his head reminded Harry.He asked Tom anxiously: "You didn't mean to kill her, did you?"

"Of course not." Tom looked at Harry with that innocent expression, "I hope her existence becomes more meaningful."

Basilisk.

The basilisk's eyes could kill anyone, but the reflected mirror image could petrify, and that's what Tom really planned, if he drove Umbridge crazy and sent her petrified body to St. Mungo's, so that the school In the panic of the Chamber of Secrets being opened, he believed that the Ministry of Magic would not dare to send new members over easily.There may be some necessary consequences, a large number of Aurors will be stationed at Hogwarts, but that is not the means to stop the basilisk, and Tom can use his status as a descendant of Slytherin to better control the group of stupid snakes.

Yes, an obvious win-win situation.

Tom was standing in the girls' bathroom on the third floor, facing the washstand carved with golden snakes.Suddenly there was the sound of splashing water in the next compartment, and a translucent body came out of the door panel. The other party saw Tom screaming and screaming. Tom quickly cast a silencing spell in the whole room, and he walked slowly towards the Annoying ghost, who cowered back into the wall.Tom threw a holding spell at the translucent creature, and the other's expression became more terrified, and she kept struggling to escape the shackles of the magic.Tom narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the ghost in front of him, a girl who seemed to know him.How come Tom can't remember ever terrorizing such an ugly creature, he didn't really do such a thing?The uncertainty made his eyebrows knit together.

"who are you?"

The effect of this sentence was almost unexpected. The fear on the ghost's face was instantly replaced by anger, and she yelled in a high-decibel voice that made the eardrum hurt: "You don't remember who I am? You Can't remember who I am! Poor Myrtle doesn't deserve to be remembered by her murderer! You arrogant bastard!"

"You're Myrtle." Tom suddenly realized that he was thinking of the poor creature now, the Ravenclaw who seemed to have a strong feeling for him, and was always circling behind him.Yes, he'd made sure the other girls would bully the Mudblood until she quit stalking him.It seemed that Myrtle had more perseverance than he had imagined. If she hadn't continued to follow him around, she wouldn't have become the first victim of the basilisk.Tom sneered, he didn't mean to regret that incident at all, it was Myrtle who killed herself.

"—dead, poor useless good-for-nothing Mudblood, no one will remember her crying in her cubicle every day. They'll throw all sorts of gadgets at her translucent body and compete on who can hit the peach Golden Lady's head. 'Ten points for Slytheringa!' As if they could beat Harry in a Quidditch match, those talkative bastards—"

"You've been here all this time?" Tom raised his eyebrows. "You know Harry?"

"Of course I know Harry, he's a handsome little boy, isn't he, the beautiful muscle lines covered in foam—" Myrtle covered her cheeks with a shy look, obviously immersed in memories, which made Tom feel Discomfort, he didn't want to know what Myrtle did to Harry at all, or he now had a subtle feeling that this perverted woman shouldn't have peeped at him in the shower?

Tom interrupted Myrtle's reverie impatiently: "Has anyone ever been in the Chamber of Secrets?"

Myrtle suddenly showed a weird smile that made Tom even more uneasy. The magic effect was just released. The ghost floated into the air and quickly got into the pool, causing splashes half the height of a person. She flew in front of Tom and bowed to the handsome wizard. He murmured, "Find out for yourself, Riddle." After speaking, he laughed and got into the toilet and disappeared.

Nothing could make Tom angrier.

Now before him lay the gigantic, lifeless corpse of the basilisk, both of its eyes blinded by the sharp object.The entire Chamber of Secrets looked like it had experienced a fierce battle, with broken statues everywhere, and even the huge stone statue of Slytherin was destroyed in half.

Someone killed the basilisk.But this is almost impossible, not to mention that the basilisk has a power that even Tom himself is jealous of, no one can survive under its fierce stare, unless the other party kills the basilisk with its eyes closed, that's even more so. Impossible.Tom was pretty sure he was the only offspring of Slytherin, and there was no way he would marry and have kids while he was unfinished.Another Parseltongue is out of the question, isn't it?

He thought of the smug look on Myrtle's face before she left, the disgusting creature knew, she knew someone had opened the Chamber and killed the basilisk.This realization made Tom more and more angry. The soaring magic power made a sound like glass shattering in the air, his black hair was flying, and his eyes were unusually blue.The huge boy-centric storm sent even the basilisk's hulking body slamming into the Slytherin statue, whose green eyes glowed eerily.Tom suddenly calmed down. He walked to the flashing position and put his finger on the snake's mouth, muttering the ancient language. The blood-sucking stone statue began to rotate and a three-meter-high door appeared. Tom stepped into the secret room.This is the real chamber of secrets in Slytherin.
