Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

Tom walked out of Riddle Manor and came to the nearby cemetery. He looked at the inscription on the tombstone that had the same name as his own. He rubbed his fingers and used a magic spell to clean up the weeds.

Everyone is innocent, but everyone is guilty.

He can't even resent other people...

"How wonderful it would be if there weren't those concealments and lies..."

With a soft sigh, Tom disappeared on the spot. In front of the tombstone, fresh petals were swirling into the air...

The only thing left in the entire cemetery is the statue of the Grim Reaper standing quietly, its eyes hidden under its hood, looking down with pity on the coffin buried deep in the ground.

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

Arriving in Wiltshire, Tom stood in the fog, squinting his eyes to see clearly the hidden manor. His violently beating heart showed that Tom could not calm down at this time.

"Phew...relax, Tom Riddle...relax..."

Continuously performing self-hypnosis, Tom pinched his palms and gritted his teeth in frustration. Why, even now, he still can't face Abu calmly?

What kind of spell did that guy cast on him...

‘Jingle bell’

Along with the sound of horse hooves came the clear ringing of bells. Tom took a deep breath and looked at the carriage that was getting closer and closer to him.

The young brown-haired coachman jumped out of the carriage, opened the door respectfully, bent down and saluted Tom, "Dear guest..."

"The master is waiting for you at the manor..."

Stepping on the low stool and sitting in the carriage, Tom was in no mood to lament or despise the Malfoy family's pickiness. No matter how gorgeous things were, they were just useless ornaments...

Countless words flashed through his mind, and Tom had a dark face and didn't know what to say.

He simply couldn't express his endless thoughts in words.

The carriage stopped steadily and Tom stepped out of the carriage. Before his brain had time to react, his body had already opened his arms to hug the person rushing over.

"Hey, hey, hey! Be gentle, you brat! How should you apologize for crashing our little Tom!"

Brutus laughed and cursed and nodded at Tom, but did not pull away from his imageless son.

"Should I call you Professor Riddle~ or should I call you Little Tom..."

Abraxas let go and kissed Tom's lips with a chuckle. As for that annoying father, who cares!

After the kiss, Tom blinked with satisfaction. Finally... he could finally feel the familiar warmth, "Abu... I'm back..."

"......welcome...."

Abraxas tightly held the hand that had grown bigger at some point, trying to calm down his slightly trembling voice, "...go home..."

The three of them walked side by side into the manor. Tom wanted to make time slow down even more. From now on, he would stay with Abu forever and never leave again.

Entering the luxurious house, Tom twitched the corners of his eyes, trying to forget that he had just seen a white-feathered peacock, damn...

He now finally understands why he is his patron saint! It's this kind of...saucy creature!

"Abu, take me to see Olivia..."

Abraxas lowered his eyes. The closer to the delivery date, the weaker Olivia's body became. Now he can only barely see the figure...

Even the magic power can hardly be maintained, let alone the thin body. Even the act of swallowing takes up a lot of strength.

"She...is also waiting for you to come back and wants to thank you in person..."

Tom pursed his lips and said nothing. He didn't know how to comfort others, especially the one he loved deeply, so he could only gently hold Abu's hand.

"Let's go...I'll take you to her room..."

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

When Tom saw that his once charming senior sister had completely lost her former luster, he frowned in surprise and hurriedly walked to the bed.

Bending down to stop Olivia from getting up, "No..."

With the corner of her mouth raised slightly, Olivia looked at Tom with dull eyes. It was a pity that she couldn't see clearly. She seemed to be looking at...

What kind of grace should the once excellent little wizard look like now...

"Riddle? Oh... don't blame me for calling you that... a certain poisonous snake wouldn't let me call you Tom... Phew... if you never come back..."

"That venomous snake might turn into a madman...heh...do I look ugly now..."

After finishing her words intermittently, Olivia gasped lightly, trying to hold on and not let herself fall into drowsiness. She had slept long enough...

"How could it be...Olivia...in my eyes you will always be a noble and beautiful...princess..."

Tom noticed the other person's unfocused eyes at the first glance, and his soft voice coaxed the man who didn't have much time. It was also the first time for him...

Someone who truly feels what it means to be a ‘mother’... someone who can give up her life for her child...

"Oh~ You are really good at making people happy... If you have a chance... how about you choose me..."

Trying to raise a smile, Olivia closed her eyes. The dizziness made her eyelids heavier and heavier, "It's such a pity...I don't have this opportunity...I really want...to see you with my own eyes...there are... How happy..."

The voice became smaller and smaller, and after saying the last sentence, Olivia finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell into coma again.

Brutus pursed his lips tightly and looked at Olivia lovingly. In his heart, he had long regarded Olivia as his family.

Compared with losing wealth and status, watching his family lose their lives was even more tormenting and painful for him...

If it weren't for Tom, maybe his son would have to bear all this alone... living alone in a huge manor...

"How long has she been like this?"

Tom's throat was extremely dry and his voice was hoarse. He straightened up and looked at Abu, holding the snake-shaped wand in his left hand.

He did not believe that a magic wand with healing power could not save a person's life...

Abraxas pulled up the quilt, closed his eyes and exhaled slowly, "Seven months... starting from the second month... Olivia's physical condition is getting worse and worse..."

Nodding slightly, Tom recited the spell softly, and a stream of white eye circles touched Olivia from the tip of the staff. After contacting Olivia, they quickly turned into emerald green...

Abraxas was shocked and wanted to stop him. He could feel the huge life force pouring into Olivia's body.

"No... little Tom! You can't..."

Without stopping the movements in his hands, Tom moved his right hand slightly, directly stopping the two people who wanted to pull him away.

In just a few minutes, he realized that his physical strength and magic power were almost exhausted.

Stopping what he was doing, Tom's body swayed, and his swollen head hurt terribly, almost as much as when his soul was split...
