Chapter 491 Tom Riddle on a Moonlit Night
"That's what I mean, Professor."

Peter said to Dumbledore with a serious expression: "Voldemort is Tom Riddle of the past, but 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 had never felt love. His mother used magic to conceive him, and then he was abandoned by his father, and then abandoned by his heartbroken mother. He only cared about how others could serve him, so he would never understand the nature of selfless acts like 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, and he cannot understand the benefits of deep friendships like Harry has with Ron and Hermione. He missed something extremely valuable."

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

"Tom now can feel what love is. Although I have adopted him for a short time, I know him. He tries to understand love and is willing to accept this kind of feeling."

Peter looked at Dumbledore, who was lost in thought.

"Professor, I believe you must be very regretful that you didn't realize in time that Voldemort's heart had been corrupted by darkness. Now, my son Tom Padrick is another Voldemort who has not yet taken the dark path. By letting him enter the school, you can make up for your regrets."

Dumbledore pondered for a while, then fixed his eyes on Peter and said slowly: "You are right, Mr. Padraic."

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

A trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes. "Do you know, Mr. Padraic, that there is a room in the Department of Mysteries that is always locked. There is a power in it that is more magical and terrifying than death, human wisdom, and the power of nature."

"It is perhaps the most mysterious of the many subjects that require research in the Department of Mysteries."

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

"I promise you, Mr. Padraic, your children, including Tom, are welcome on behalf of Hogwarts."

"but."

He paused and said to Peter, "The prerequisite is that your children have wizard blood or magical talent, as long as they pass the corresponding tests and assessments."

"of course."

Peter nodded in response.

He wasn't worried about Raven and Loki's magical talents, the only one who might have some problems was Mark.

This kid is just an ordinary person at this stage, and I don’t know if he can pass the admission assessment.

"Just one 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 said that your children should not live in Hogwarts?"

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

After he said the above words with a serious expression, he quickly relaxed.

"But, Mr. Padraic, 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-tasting bean on the table and put it into his mouth.

But soon his old face wrinkled tightly, with an expression as if he had eaten shit.

He was lucky enough to eat a strange bean that tasted like booger.

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

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

I just met Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy. These two guys both 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 good-for-nothings. It shouldn't be a big problem if I just spend some money to bribe them.

"Mr. Padraic, it's the school bus, right?"

Dumbledore finally swallowed the strange-tasting beans that tasted like booger.

After adjusting his mood, he asked Peter, "Your school bus 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 as day students, right?"

"Yes, it was given to me by a friend, a friend whose power is countless times stronger than mine. He even helped me get here."

He refers to the "system" as a friend.

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

"There will be a chance."

Peter smiled at him politely.

After leaving Hogwarts, Peter quickly returned to Padraic Farm.

On the farm, Raven and Mark are playing chess.

With Star-Lord and Zu leaving for school and Rhea and Kara nowhere to be found, the living room became a little quieter than usual.

"dad."

After seeing Peter come in, Raven and Mark greeted him and started playing chess again.

Peter glanced at the chess game the two were playing and saw that Raven was controlling the pawn on the board and had moved one step forward, directly killing Mark's queen.

It wasn't a "kill" in the chess sense, but rather a step forward, swinging the weapon directly 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".

I didn't expect these two naughty kids to start raining again.

"Raven, Mark!"

Peter walked towards the two people and caught the people playing chess on the spot, "What are you doing?"

The two who heard Peter's voice realized that they were caught in the act. "Who took the chessboard out of my room?"

Peter asked the siblings who stood up nervously.

"Sorry, Dad, it's"

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

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

Peter looked towards Raven who also bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

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

Raven looked up and apologized to Peter in frustration, "I wanted to try it out, so I took it out out of curiosity."

"No, Dad."

Mark mustered up the courage to say to Peter, "Actually, I wanted to play with the wizard flag, and my sister got it to help me get it into the room."

"is it?"

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

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

He knew that what Mark said was probably true, so he did not blame Raven. Instead, he whispered to comfort her, "If you like it, Raven, Dad will buy you one tomorrow."

"real?!"

Raven, who was originally feeling a little regretful and self-blaming, immediately felt better after hearing Peter's words.

"Really? Dad?"

"of course."

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

upstairs.

Tom was standing at the corner of the stairs and was about to go downstairs when he saw this scene.

He didn't say anything, just listened quietly for a while, then quietly went into his room.

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

Although Tom, like Raven and Loki, is not old enough to enter Hogwarts.

But perhaps due to the influence of the system, my son and daughter developed particularly fast.

They look much more mature than other kids of the same age. I guess no one would doubt that they are ten years old.

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

"dad?"

Tom heard a knock on the door and opened it.

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

Peter asked him when he came in.

"There's nothing to get used to, Dad. Life here is countless times better than in the orphanage. I like it very much."

Tom said sincerely.

"That's good."

Peter touched his head and sat down.

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

Tom asked Peter after he sat down.

Peter looked at him in surprise, "How did you know?"

"My guess."

Tom had a slightly smug look on his face.

But he quickly hid his expression.

"Do you know Professor Dumbledore?"

Peter raised his eyebrows and asked him.

"No, but he is mentioned in many of the books I read."

Peter was 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 calls himself a saint, I think there must be lies behind him. He is the power and authority of Hogwarts. He sees himself as the guardian of morality and justice. He interferes in other people's affairs, but never considers the consequences of his interference."

"He spends most of his time sitting on the throne of arrogance, but perhaps one day he will be driven off the throne."

Peter was stunned for a moment as he listened to Tom's comments about Dumbledore.

“An interesting and unusual review.”

Peter did not comment and asked him, "What do you think of Lucius Malfoy?"

"I've read about him in books, and he seems arrogant and ambitious."

Tom said in his London accent, "He tries to gain power and influence in the wizarding world. Although he has a cunning air, I think his arrogance and conceit make what he does boring and restrictive."
