Chapter 491 Tom Riddle on a Moonlit Night Discussing Heroes

"That's what I mean, Professor."

Peter said to Dumbledore with a serious expression: "Voldemort was the Tom Riddle of the past, but the Tom Riddle of the present is not Voldemort. On the contrary, I think he is even an important figure in dealing with Voldemort."

Peter expressed his thoughts, "The difference between them is their perception of 'love'."

"Voldemort has never felt love. His mother used magic to conceive him, and then he was abandoned by his father, and then his heartbroken mother. He only cares about how other people serve him, so he will never understand things like The essence of such a selfless act as Harry’s mother.”

Peter paused for a moment and continued to Dumbledore: "He also cannot understand that love for one person can overcome all obstacles, let alone the benefits of deep friendships like Harry's with Ron and Hermione. He missed a lot. Something of value.”

Peter looked out the window, "Not only because the lack of love in life is a great regret, but also because love is a very powerful magic."

"Now Tom can feel what love is. Although I have not adopted him for a long time, I know him well. He tries to understand love and is willing to accept this feeling."

Peter looked at Dumbledore, who was deep in thought.

"Professor, I believe you must be very sorry that you failed to discover in time that Voldemort's heart had been corrupted by darkness. Now, my son Tom Padrick is another Voldemort who has not yet embarked on a dark path. Let him enter the school. You can make up for the regrets of the past.”

Dumbledore pondered for a while, looked at Peter and said slowly: "You are right, Mr. Padric."

He took off his glasses, "Love is the greatest magic in the world."

A trace of warmth flashed in his eyes, "Did you know? Mr. Padrick, there is a room in the Department of Mysteries that is always locked. There is a power in it that is more magical than death, more than human wisdom, and more than the power of nature. , more terrible."

"It is also perhaps the most mysterious of the many subjects to be studied in the Department of Mysteries."

Dumbledore smiled at Peter and said, "Mr. Padric, you say you don't understand the magic of our world, but I think you know it better than most wizards in our world."

"I promise you, Mr. Padric, that your children, including Tom, will be welcomed on behalf of Hogwarts."

"but."

He paused and said to Peter: "The premise is that your children have wizard blood or magical talents, as long as they pass the corresponding tests and evaluations."

"certainly."

Peter nodded in response.

He wasn't worried about Raven and Loki's magical talents. The only one who might have a problem was Mark.

This kid is just an ordinary person at this stage. I don’t know if he can pass the entrance evaluation.

"Just a question, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Peter continued to discuss with the other party, "I know that all students at Hogwarts live on campus, but I hope the professor can make an exception."

"You want your children not to live in Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore shook his head, "Impossible, Mr. Padric. Boarding school has always been a school rule at Hogwarts. This is not only for the safety and learning management of students, but also in line with the educational environment and traditions of the British wizarding community. "

After saying the above words with a serious expression, he soon relaxed again.

"But Mr. Padrick, if you can convince the head of the Ministry of Magic, I will give you the biggest green light, such as making a special clause."

As he spoke, Dumbledore picked up a strange-flavored bean on the table and put it into his mouth.

But soon his old face wrinkled up tightly, as if he had eaten shit.

He was "lucky" enough and ate a strange-flavored bean that smelled like booger.

Peter pretended not to see Dumbledore's "shit-eating" expression and coughed, "Thank you, Principal Dumbledore. I will try my best to convince the head of the Ministry of Magic."

This old boy doesn't want to take responsibility, so it seems he can only find someone from the Ministry of Magic.

I just met Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy. These two guys work in the Ministry of Magic, and I can ask them for help.

The people in the Ministry of Magic are all a bunch of losers. If you just spend some money to bribe others, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Mr. Padrick, that's the school bus, right?"

Dumbledore finally swallowed the strange-flavored beans that smelled like "booger".

After adjusting his mood, he asked Peter: "That school bus of yours is unusual, Mr. Parkrick. Even I can't see through the magic contained in it. I think that's why you said your children can go to school." ,Is it right?"

"Yes, it was given by a friend, a friend who is countless times more powerful than me. He even helped me get here."

He refers to “the system” as a friend.

"I would like to meet this friend of yours another day."

"There will be a chance."

Peter smiled politely at him.

After leaving Hogwarts, Peter soon returned to Padric Farm.

On the farm, Raven and Mark are playing chess.

Star-Lord and Azu went to school, Rhea and Kara were missing, and the living room became quieter than before.

"dad."

After seeing Peter come in, Raven and Mark said hello to him and began to play chess again.

Peter glanced at the chess game the two were playing and found that Raven had taken a step forward by manipulating the pawns on the chessboard, directly killing Mark's queen.

It's not "killing" in the chess sense, but taking a step forward and directly waving the weapon to chop the queen into pieces.

Peter was stunned when he saw this scene.

Isn't this the wizard chess that Mark bought?

Because it was too bloody and violent, Peter confiscated it on the pretext that it was "not suitable for children."

Unexpectedly, these two naughty children started to play again.

"Riven, Mark!"

Peter walked towards the two of them and caught the chess player on the spot, "What are you doing?"

The two people who heard Peter's voice realized that they had been caught red-handed.

"Who took the chessboard out of my room?"

Peter asked the siblings who stood nervously.

"Sorry. Dad, yes"

Mark, who lowered his head, glanced at Raven and whispered, "I did it, Dad."

"You don't look like a child who can lie."

Peter looked at Raven, who also lowered her head to admit her mistake.

"I took it out, Dad, not Mark."

Raven raised her head and apologized to Peter in frustration, "I wanted to try it, so I took it out out of curiosity."

"No, Dad."

Mark plucked up the courage and said to Peter: "Actually, I wanted to play with the wizard flag, and my sister went into the room to get it for me."

"Yeah?"

Peter glanced at Raven, who was biting her lip and blushing a little.

He reached out and touched his son's hair, "Next time you want to play, just tell your dad directly and don't let your sister help you."

He knew that what Mark said was probably true, and he did not blame Raven. Instead, he comforted her in a low voice, "If you like it, Raven, dad will buy one for you tomorrow."

"real?!"

Raven, who had some regrets and self-blame at first, immediately improved her depressed mood after hearing Peter's words.

"Really? Dad?"

"certainly."

Excited, Raven hugged Peter and said, "I love daddy the most."

upstairs.

Tom stood at the corner of the stairs and originally wanted to go downstairs, but Minato happened to see this scene.

He didn't speak, and after listening quietly for a while, he quietly entered his room.

Peter went upstairs and knocked on Tom's room, intending to talk to him about school.

Although Tom, like Raven and Loki, is under the age required for admission to Hogwarts.

But it may be due to systemic factors that caused my son and daughter to develop particularly quickly.

They seem to be far more mature than other children of the same age. If you say that some naughty children are ten years old, no one will doubt them.

When the time comes to go to Hogwarts, just change your age.

"dad?"

Tom heard a knock and opened the door.

"How is it? How are you used to living here?"

Peter asked him as he came in.

"There's nothing I'm not used to, Dad. Life here is countless times better than in the orphanage. I like it very much."

Tom said with a sincere expression.

"That's good."

Peter touched his head and sat down.

"Dad, you went to Hogwarts World to talk to Professor Dumbledore, right?"

Tom asked Peter after he sat down.

Peter looked at him in surprise when he heard this, "How do you know?"

"I guessed."

Tom had a slightly smug expression on his face.

But he quickly hid his expression.

"Do you know Professor Dumbledore?"

Peter raised his eyebrows and asked him.

"No, but he was mentioned in many of the books I looked through."

Peter felt slightly curious and asked: "What kind of person do you think Dumbledore is?"

Tom frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said to Peter: "Although he claims to be a saint, I think there must be lies behind him. He is the power and authority of Hogwarts. He sees himself as a moral person." As a guardian of justice, he interferes in other people's affairs but never considers the consequences of his interference."

"He spends most of his time sitting on an arrogant throne. Maybe one day he will be kicked off the throne."

Peter was stunned for a moment when he heard Tom's comments about Dumbledore.

“An interesting and unusual review.”

Peter asked him noncommittally, "What do you think of Lucius Malfoy?"

"I've read about his exploits in books and he seems arrogant and ambitious."

Tom said in his own London accent: "He is trying to gain power and influence in the wizarding world. Although he has a cunning air about him, I think his arrogance and arrogance will make him do what he does. It’s boring and I can’t let go.”
