Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

Voldemort suddenly realized what was happening, and his pupils widened sharply.

Dumbledore is acting strangely today.

He possessed a subtle yet powerful aura.

Although the original Dumbledore was very strong... that was strength, not the strength he has now.

Dumbledore's inner strength had grown, and his eyes seemed to see through everything. Voldemort couldn't quite understand Dumbledore for a moment, and had no idea what he was thinking. He could only tell from those clear pupils that this pillar of the wizarding world was fearless and even somewhat looking forward to his actions.

"Hmph, Dumbledore, you won't be so lucky next time we meet."

"I'm waiting for you."

As the fog dissipated, a few stars appeared in the dark sky outside the window. The faint moonlight streamed into the room, illuminating the expression on Shadow's face and Dumbledore's aged yet upright back.

The shadow took Dumbledore's arm.

“Miss Isabel, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?”

"Still pretending?"

"..." Dumbledore was speechless.

"Tom, your transformation magic is amazing! You really look exactly like Professor Dumbledore."

Tom coughed. "So how did you find out?"

"Smell." The shadow pointed to its nose, "Fu..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tom covered Shadow's mouth: "Don't mention his name. It's not fear, but that cunning bastard has cast a spell on his name. Just call him Mysterious Man."

Tom released his grip only after seeing the shadow nod.

"Was the mysterious man also a student at Hogwarts?"

"of course."

"Then his relationship with the professors must not be very good. At least he has never seriously observed those professors. Tom, didn't you notice... that Professor Dumbledore smells of osmanthus instead of roses?"

And another thing, Professor Dumbledore has a single eyelid in his left eye and a double eyelid in his right eye.

Tom: "?"

You can tell if someone has single or double eyelids?

You're awesome.

Tom transformed back into his original form: "It was just a clumsy imitation. After all, it was in a dream. I wouldn't have made any mistakes in the real world."

It has to be said that the compound decoction is really too effective, otherwise Tom wouldn't always carry so many medicines with him.

Tom noticed it from the very beginning, when Voldemort pulled the shadow into the dream.

He is very sensitive, especially at such a special time. Tom is even more sensitive; he only dares to close one eye when he sleeps.

"I have another question, Tom. Why do you call the mysterious man Riddle? And why are you afraid to talk to him...?"

As their thoughts intertwined, the shadow suddenly widened its eyes.

Riddle.

Why didn't Tom reveal his true appearance to Voldemort?

It's not fear!

Could it be that Voldemort's surname is also Riddle?

“It’s troubling to have the same name as a murderer,” Tom sighed. “But don’t tell anyone. Few people know what that ugly guy without a nose really is.”

Don't worry, at Hogwarts, the two of us are always being watched, and everyone is wary of us.

You are a special, magical creation unlike any other ever seen.

And I, my name is exactly the same as a serial killer's.

Shadow covered her mouth and nodded vigorously: "Is this our secret?"

"Yes, remember, don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, I won't tell even Misha!"

Tom nodded in satisfaction and looked out the window.

Voldemort should be on the run right now.

Luckily, my buddy had anticipated this and sent something crashing down from the sky beforehand...

"boom!"

Professor Snape, panting heavily, leaned against the door with one hand, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at the two people inside the room.

The dark circles under his eyes were so thick that even Asian sorcery couldn't save them.

It would take at least two layers of putty to cover it up.

"Tom, couldn't you have informed us in a more discreet way?"

Why did they set off such huge fireworks again? Are they trying to attract everyone's attention?

Tom said apologetically, "Weren't my fireworks beautiful?"

"All the students are awake, and Mr. Filch is trying his best to get those disobedient, sleepless children back to school!" Professor Snape suddenly changed the subject: "So... where is the Mystic?"

"Didn't they already go out?" Tom pointed to the bustling scene downstairs. "Look, Mr. Hagrid is chasing after him."

"You two go to my dorm and don't come out until I get back!" Snape pointed at Tom's nose. "Don't be so reckless next time, you hear me!"

The commotion you've caused is no different from stepping on the mysterious man's face to mock him. If I were him, I would definitely kill you!

You have a better way, and a better solution!

After saying that, Snape left the room, his footsteps so fast they seemed to create a gust of wind.

“Tom, Professor Snape seems a bit strange too.” Shadow tugged at Tom’s sleeve.

She felt that Professor Snape now was different from the one she saw today.

He seemed very anxious; although he was still cursing at Tom, there was a sense that he was worried about Tom.

Why?

Could it be that... Professor Snape actually values ​​Tom very much? Then why did he act so sullen before? Anyone who didn't know better would think Tom was his father's killer.

For the first time, Shadow felt that Professor Snape was so unpredictable.

"Where do we go now? To Professor Snape's dormitory?"

Tom thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No, we're not going there. Let's go somewhere else."

Professor Snape's dormitory was certainly very nice, but before that, we should first inform the owners of Hogwarts.

……

Professor Dumbledore's office.

The old man had a smile on his face, seemingly unsurprised by the arrival of the two people in front of him.

"Tom, Isabel, you two children, what brings you to this old man?"

“I’ve missed you, Professor Dumbledore.” Tom never blushed when he spoke. “Professor Dumbledore, we encountered a terrible thing tonight.”

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, looking at Tom with amusement: "Oh? You mean you entered the mysterious man's dream and then disguised yourself as me?"

Tom, where did you get all this information about the past? Nobody at school should know about it.

Dumbledore is Voldemort's real name.

Long ago, Dumbledore discovered something and began to ponder a question.

Why didn't Tom meet Voldemort with his real face, but instead impersonated him repeatedly?

It turns out he had always known that Voldemort's real name was the same as his own.

Tom Riddle.

The probability of having the same name is not high; on the contrary, it is very low, even extremely low.

“Professor Dumbledore, do you remember that day?” Tom coughed. “Perhaps you have forgotten, but I do. I was at the orphanage thinking about what to have for breakfast when an owl flew to my door.”

To be honest, I was surprised, but later I was even more surprised.

Tom's lips curled up slightly: "Because later I found out when the Hogwarts acceptance letter was sent and who sent it."

The other students had different schedules than me, and they also sent letters to Professor McGonagall, but I am the only one who is you, Professor Dumbledore.

I've always thought of myself as just an ordinary person, without any amazing talent or a wealthy family background. I'm just an ordinary kid. What made the principal personally greet me? I've been looking for the reason ever since I entered the school.

Finally, I discovered that almost all professors would show a look of shock when they heard my name.

Some of the ghost professors are terrified of me. You know Professor Dumbledore, I'm a book lover."

Tom stopped there and didn't continue.

Of course, this is just a wording used to describe Dumbledore.

The truth is...

How could Tom not know Voldemort's real name?

From the day he discovered this was the Harry Potter world, Tom had been on guard against Voldemort.

They've been hiding it all this time!

hiss……

Tom gasped, suddenly realizing something.

Wait a minute, Professor Quirrell was clearly right next to Voldemort, so didn't Quirrell tell Voldemort his name?

Or is it that Professor Quirrell didn't take me seriously, so he ignored me?

Well done, Professor Quirrell. No wonder you're one of the rogue ninjas.

“Tom,” Dumbledore interrupted Tom’s thoughts, “you are indeed a clever fellow to be able to find so much from these clues, but do you know anything about the Mystic’s past?”
