Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 121 How dare you! Insult my mother like this!

Levid left both Kneazle and Nagini at 81 Godric's Hollow.

Then he and Tom followed Dumbledore out through the fireplace.

The fireplace exit is located in a wizard tavern.

The wizarding component of the tavern looks very complicated.

Li Weide and Tom both felt several unfriendly gazes falling on them.

However, with the presence of Dumbledore, an adult wizard, those unfriendly glances soon disappeared.

By the time they walked out of the pub, they had reached Great Hangleton.

It has to be said that the fireplace is indeed the most convenient way for wizards to travel.

Dumbledore identified the direction and then walked forward with Levitra and Tom.

It was obvious that Dumbledore had already discovered the route in advance.

"In order to be faster this time, we chose the fireplace in this tavern... If you want to travel by yourself, it's best to choose some fireplaces that are not so remote." Dumbledore led the way in front and did not forget to look back and remind them.

Li Weide nodded to indicate that he remembered it, and seeing this, Tom also nodded quickly.

He has decided to imitate Li Weide's words and deeds.

After all, there must be a reason why Li Weide can win the favor of most people so easily!
Tom followed Dumbledore closely, but he became more and more uneasy.

After all, he will be able to see his relatives soon...

Even if this relative may not welcome me as I imagined...

Tom followed Dumbledore for a long time and suddenly frowned.

Because he found that Dumbledore was going further and further away...

The Gaunt family should be considered a relatively glorious pure-blood family. Shouldn't their mansion be in the city?
Tom's heart was full of doubts.

Li Weide saw his expression from the side.

"Tom, you seem a little confused?" Li Weide asked.

"Nothing... nothing..." Tom's eyes were evasive.

Li Weide suddenly laughed and said, "In fact, many pure-blood families that were once glorious have fallen into decline, so... not all pure-blood families are so glamorous."

"You...how do you know what I'm thinking?" Tom asked in surprise.

"That's easy to guess, Tom. Your thoughts are all written on your face." Li Weide said with a smile.

Tom quickly lowered his head. He felt that Li Weide's dark eyes seemed to be able to see through people's minds completely.

Damn it! Has his Legilimency improved again?! Be careful next time!

Dumbledore also heard the conversation behind him.

He said with a very regretful tone: "Tom, the Gaunt family has indeed declined... Like other pure-blood families, they all hold on to ideas that are increasingly incompatible with the times... Even though their family financial situation is declining, they still haven't given up on luxury... And they are not very good at running a family business, so naturally the result will not be very good."

……

Another ten minutes passed.

When Tom saw the small wooden house in front of him...or even a shack made of wood, it would be more appropriate to call it that.

The whole person fell into complete silence.

The Gaunt family, descendants of Slytherin and with a glorious past...are now living in a place like this?
How could someone who could live in a place like this be worthy of calling himself a descendant of Slytherin?

A surge of anger suddenly rose in Tom's heart!

At this time, Li Weide was also looking at the dilapidated wooden house in front of him.

Apart from an S-shaped dead snake nailed to the door of the wooden house, which barely showed that the person living here was a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, there was nothing else related to Slytherin...

At least that's what it looks like from the outside.

At this time, Tom's face had turned blue, and his eyes were filled with disappointment and anger that were difficult to conceal.

Even though he had anticipated the decline of the Gaunt family, the reality still made him feel deeply humiliated!

What a shame for being a descendant of Slytherin!

Dumbledore and Levitra stood aside waiting very patiently.

They all knew Tom's character very well, so they all understood how heavy a blow this scene was to the proud Tom.

After a long while, Tom took a deep breath and said, "Let's go knock on the door..."

After saying this, it seemed as if all of Tom's strength had been drained away.

Dumbledore nodded, "Wait a moment..."

As he spoke, he took out his wand and gently waved it in the air.

Then Li Weide felt something was opened in front of him.

"Some minor curses... they'll be fine once they're removed. Let's go in."

Dumbledore casually removed the evil curse that the Gaunt family had maliciously placed around the area and strode in.

Tom looked at the places where the curse had been lifted, and his face became even uglier.

Many of those places are even right on the side roads!

If an uninformed person passes by here, even a wizard will suffer...

From this we can see that what others say about the Gaunt family having a bad reputation and liking to use evil curses against Muggles is not groundless!

"Knock, knock, knock!" Dumbledore knocked on the door of the Gaunt family's old house.

"Who is it?" A rough voice came from the room, followed by heavy footsteps and curses.

"Crack!"

The wooden door was roughly opened from the inside.

A thin man with disheveled hair, ragged clothes and a snake coiled in his hand walked out.

He had an ugly and weird face, and his gloomy eyes quickly swept over the three people in front of him.

But when he saw Tom, his eyes became a little suspicious.

Li Weide noticed that he was wearing an obsidian ring on his hand that did not match his outfit at all...

"I don't know you! Who are you?"

Tom felt even more disappointed when he saw the rude man in front of him from behind Dumbledore.

As a descendant of Slytherin, in Tom's imagination, no matter how poor he was, he should be polite and handsome... Even if he was not handsome, at least he should have the elegant manners of a pure-blood family...

Just like Abraxas Malfoy, although he is weak, his behavior is actually very measured after he stops bullying.

But now it seemed that the man in front of him, who seemed to be his uncle, was as rude as the Muggle porters he had seen before...

At this moment, Tom's last bit of filter for the noble Slytherin descendant was completely shattered...

"I am Albus Dumbledore, a professor at Hogwarts. You are Mr. Morfin Gaunt, right?" Dumbledore remained humble and polite even when facing such a rude person.

When Tom saw this scene, he felt even more upset... It turned out that the descendant of Slytherin that he imagined was actually like Dumbledore?
"Albus Dumbledore?" Although Morfin Gaunt stayed at home all year round, he still felt that the name sounded familiar.

He stared at Dumbledore warily, "What are you doing here? I don't know you! I don't owe you any money!"

Dumbledore turned to look at Tom, "Come here, Tom."

Tom clenched his hands into fists hidden under his robes, gritted his teeth, and walked to Dumbledore's side.

"This child is Tom Marvolo Riddle, and his mother is Merope Gaunt, which means that you should be his..."

Before Dumbledore had finished speaking, Morfin's face instantly turned from pale to the color of pig kidneys!

"Aha! I just thought you looked familiar! You are the bastard born of that bitch and that dirty Muggle! What a shame! This is a disgrace to the family!"

Morfin rushed over, yelling and cursing, and looked like he was going to strangle Tom to death!

"bump!"

Mo Finn's figure came and went quickly!
He was knocked out instantly!

Tom clenched his wand tightly, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire!
"You dirty...shameful bastard, how dare you insult my...mother like this!" Tom pursed his lips and wanted to continue.

However, he soon felt someone gently pressing on his shoulder.

Tom turned his head and saw Li Weide shaking his head gently.

If Dumbledore wasn't there, Levitra certainly wouldn't have stopped him.

But now...if he is not stopped, Tom might eat the melon in front of Dumbledore...

When Dumbledore saw this, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything more.

He could totally understand how Tom felt right now.

Dumbledore walked quickly through the dilapidated wooden door and approached Morfin who was lying on the ground.

Morfin was still shouting, "You filthy mudblood! How dare you lay a hand on me?"

He had just pulled out his wand when, for some reason, it suddenly ended up in Dumbledore's hands...

"It wasn't him who attacked you, Mr. Gaunt. It was me..." Dumbledore said seriously, "Also, you should apologize to Tom!"

Tom saw that Dumbledore actually took the blame for his impulsiveness and asked him to apologize to him.

His eyes became flickering...

"I…I want to apologize to that little Mudblood?! I…"

"If you had said one more word... you might not have to apologize anymore," Dumbledore said calmly.

Although Dumbledore's expression and tone were calm, his powerful aura made even Levi and Tom, who were standing far away outside the door, feel depressed!
The current Dumbledore is not the kind Dumbledore of the future...

Morfin was immediately frightened by Dumbledore and shut up.

"Now, can we have a proper talk?" asked Dumbledore.

Morfin nodded involuntarily.

Then, he felt the heavy pressure in his heart disappear instantly!

"Come in." Dumbledore turned and said to Levitra and Tom.

Mo Finn also took this opportunity to awkwardly get up from the ground.

Although there was still hatred and disgust in his eyes when he looked at Tom, this time he didn't dare to scold Tom to his face.

"Mr. Gaunt, what did we agree on just now?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"Okay... okay... I'm... sorry..." Morfin gritted his teeth and apologized to Tom.

Tom looked at him groveling, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes again.

Li Weide was right. If I came here alone, I might be in danger...

He really wanted to strangle himself just now!
Coupled with Morfin's suicidal words just now, Tom felt that he might not be able to help but kill him!

If that happens, he might get into big trouble...

Tom now has no means to completely cover up his crimes...
