Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

"Caractacus was bought from a poor woman. I think that guy must not know the value of this thing. Maybe he stole it from somewhere~"

"I dare say the cunning and treacherous Bock didn't pay many galleons. It's beautiful, isn't it..."

Tom did not raise his head, and the knuckles holding the gold chain had turned white. He resented his woman, but he also did not want to hear others insult his mother like this.

Poor? steal?

Aha! This is a joke!

Who is the thief?

Hepzibah reached out and took the box back. Tom slowly let go of his hand, and the golden chain slipped from his fingers and returned to the velvet cushion...

"Haha~ I hope you like it..." Hepzibah closed the lid of the box again and raised his eyes to look at the gloomy-looking boy, feeling a little scared for no reason, "Tom? Are you... okay?"

"It's okay...I'm fine..."

Tom replied calmly, blinking to clear away the haze in his eyes, "Madam... you just said that Mr. Bock bought this from a woman..."

"But as far as I know... Slytherin's locket... has always been in the Gaunt family... Don't you think that woman is from the Gaunt family..."

When Hepzibah heard the inquiry, he suppressed the panic in his heart and ordered the elf to put the things away.

"Gaunt? I seem to have heard about that family. They are just a group of disgusting lunatics. If that woman is really a member of the Gunter family..."

"Then she doesn't deserve to have this thing. She is a poor homeless person. She may have died somewhere..."

The killing intent in Tom's eyes became more and more turbulent. He gently turned his right wrist, held the wand and used a silent spell to knock out the chattering old witch.

He turned to look at the screaming elf, staring at those big eyes for a while and looking through the other person's memories.

"Ha~ It seems that you will clean up the mess for me... This is your only chance, if you want to be free..."

Heqi struggled in her heart for a long time. The elf's nature prevented her from betraying her master, but she was even more afraid that her master would wake up...

This wizard must be here for the baby just now. If the owner knew that he didn't take good care of her, he would definitely pour hot iron on her...

Cast her into a living statue!

"I...I can't betray my master..."

Tom sneered, used the Imperius Curse to give the elf an order, erased today's events from his memory, and placed a bottle of poison on the table.

I took two boxes and left here...

It's time for him to leave Knockturn Alley...

...........................

Not many people care about the news of Grindelwald's defeat. The wizards are more interested in the fact that the elf murdered his master.

Hepzibah Smith was poisoned and killed by his own house elf. This incident caused an uproar, and many people were concerned about Smith's legacy.

Unfortunately, when the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic arrived, the entire house had been damaged, and only the elf, wearing Smith's body, stood in the ruins.

Heqi, on the other hand, admitted everything in horror, claiming that he couldn't stand the abuse... and poisoned Smith's meal...

The only one who disagreed with this was Caractacus, who also lost his excellent clerk and his biggest customer...

"Mr. Malfoy... I have said it many times, Riddle left my place not long ago... I really don't know where he went!"
