Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 232 The Defeat of Gormlaith Gaunt
At 10 o'clock, in the principal's office on the eighth floor of Hogwarts, as Dumbledore's words fell, Tom Riddle showed his true expression for the first time.

It was an expression of curiosity and a bit of competition.

"Harry Potter? From the Potter family? Is he a professor at Hogwarts?" Riddle couldn't help but ask one after another.

"He, he is still recognized by the magic world as the person who defeated your main body."

"After your main body was defeated, only a small number of Death Eaters still followed you."

"But they all went to Azkaban, and the rest claimed to be under the Imperius Curse." Dumbledore teased, but Riddle didn't pay attention to his tone at all.

"One of those people who claimed to be under the Imperius Curse must be Lucius. He is a speculator like his father."

"But it doesn't matter anymore. Is Harry Potter in Hogwarts? I want to meet him. Is he James Potter's father?" In Riddle's imagination, Harry Potter's appearance has become An old man with a white beard, the father of James Potter, the man of Gryffindor when he was wreaking havoc outside.

"No, he is just a baby, James and Lily are his parents, after your subject killed his parents, in a failed attempt to kill him."

"You only left him an indelible scar in the end. Then he lost his body and was worse than the humblest wandering soul." Dumbledore said with a hint of sadness.

"How did a baby, without any particularly magical spells, defeat the greatest wizard of all time? How was he able to escape unharmed, leaving only a scar, while Voldemort's power was destroyed?"

"And Lily? She's Severus' child's lover, right? How did she get together with James Potter? Did I stand up for my servants and then failed hilariously?" Riddle looked incredulous. With his expression, he firmly believed that there must be something done by Dumbledore.

"It's the power of love. You never understood the power of contempt." Dumbledore sighed, "It will appear when a wizard who is not going to die, but voluntarily dies for the one he loves."

"Lily would not have died. Severus once begged you to save her life, and obviously you agreed. In the end, Lily blocked the fatal magic for his child, and because love, the oldest magic, takes effect, Cause the spell you cast to bounce back on you," Dumbledore said.

He acted very seriously, and he hoped that Tom Riddle, who still had a conscience, could recognize the power of the magic of love, and even be infected by it, and move towards the right path.

In his vision, this part of Riddler's soul acted as the main body, annihilating other souls.

In the end, as Riddle's Horcrux, Harry and he checked each other and lived for a long time, leaving some power for the British wizarding world.

The appearance of the mysterious American wizard and the rapid development of Muggles made him deeply wary of it. This is why he helped Tom, who still had a conscience, become independent.

"So, I really died trying to stand up for Snape?" Riddle didn't hear Dumbledore's introduction to the power of love, but noticed another message in Dumbledore's words.

"You can also say that." Dumbledore said it, "You should understand the power of love the most. Your middle name is Gaunt, Slytherin's Gaunt."

Riddle still looked disdainful, but his ears pricked up again.

"Love is the most mysterious branch of all magic and is very difficult to understand. The people in the Ministry of Magic also believe that love is the most difficult and powerful magic, so there is a room in the Department of Mysteries that has been studying it." "The power of love can be traced back to the history of the wizarding world. The first written record of it was in the 17th century, when the great Irish witch Isolt Sayer established Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in America and was targeted and defeated by Gormlaith Gaunt."

"You know, Gormley Gaunt is the Gaunt family, the strongest person among the descendants of Slytherin in hundreds of years of history besides you." Dumbledore said this, but was rudely interrupted by Riddle. .

"You are wrong. Isolt Thayer is also a descendant of Slytherin, and Gormlaith is her aunt."

"Gormlaith is not considered powerful. She is powerful because she went to Hogwarts, while the other Gunters are ignorant and do not even go to school."

"She was quite famous at the time because she stole Slytherin's wand."

"Dumbledore, let me tell you this story."

"Her downfall was more due to family affection. She still had love for her aunt and nephew's descendants."

"Isolt's father is William Thayer, an Irish pure-blood wizard and a descendant of the Animagus Morrigan."

"Isolt was born to William Thayer and Gormlaith's sister Leona. Gormlaith was dissatisfied because the two were willing to help their Muggle neighbors and used magic to heal them and their livestock."

"In the end, Gormlaith set a fire and burned her 'deviated' sister and her sister's husband to death, 'rescued' Isolt, and tried to cultivate her into a pure-blood supremacist like herself. ."

"Later, Isolt ran away from home and came to America, married a local Muggle, James Stewart, and adopted two children with wizarding talents-Chadwick and Webb Butt. She also rescued He got a Pukki (a distant relative of European fairies who can use powerful magic, is short, gray-skinned, and has long ears.), because Pukki hates wizards and humans and does not want to reveal his name. She called it William, after her father."

"After Isolt gave birth to her twin girls, Gormlaith finally found Isolt. Gormlaith was ready to repeat her old tricks again and kill her aunt and nephew's Muggle husband. Adoption Their twin daughters.”

"It has to be said that Gormlaith still has a few brushes. She first cast a very powerful curse outside, making Isolt and James fall into a deep sleep. She also carefully used Parseltongue to make Isolt lose her wand. effectiveness.”

"But Chadwick and Webber Butt were not hypnotized because they were not known by Gormlaith."

"Then Chadwick and Webber Butt also detected the magic cast by the Parseltongue through their hydra-horned wands and alerted their master."

"And because their wand cores are made of the same material (the horns of the same long-horned water snake), their magic power can be increased tenfold when they jointly deal with enemies. In addition, Gormlaith thought they were the children of her aunt and nephew. , thinking that they were too good to kill him. This allowed them to delay until the cry of Isolt’s twin daughters awakened Isolt.”

"Yet even so, Gormlaith gained the upper hand, and at last Isolt called out her father's name in despair, and the Pukechi appeared and shot Gormlaith through the heart with a poisonous arrow."

"Eventually William Pukki and his family moved into Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and became the school's personal security guard and maintainer of order."

"This is the truth of that story. There is no love, but love is the real reason for Gormlaith's downfall." Riddle said disdainfully.
