Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

"...it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not..you just have to remember..it's the truth.."

Hearing Tom's cold tone, little Sif, who was still struggling, instantly fell silent, his shoulder-length hair covering his lowered face.

"I don't care what your mood is now... Of course... I won't force you to stay here. After all, I don't have this obligation..."

"If you want to go back, then stand up now and I will take you back there...The choice is yours..."

Tom came close to Abraxas and whispered 'good night', then stood up, picked up the cub on the ground, and strode out of the manor.

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

Once again setting foot in this dirty and chaotic place, Tom held Severus's hand in disgust and led the lost boy towards No. 19 Spider's End.

"We're here...look up and see clearly what reality is..."

The gentle and elegant aria, which was incompatible with the aristocratic accent here, made Severus' ears sharper, and he raised his head blankly.

Is this really his home?

Isn't this place in ruins?

"How could this happen...how could it happen...does mom really not want me..."

"The Snape brat..."

A thin man limped toward the two of them with a cane. After seeing Tom's indifferent eyes, he stopped not far away.

Looking down at the cold gaze of the ants, he didn't even have the courage to get angry...

"I'm sorry, sir... I'm just curious... I thought all Snape's family died in the fire, but I didn't expect this brat to escape... I'll leave now... I'll leave now..."

The lame man hesitated cowardly, and after finishing speaking, he wanted to go back to his home. The fire was really weird...

They waited until the fire was extinguished and then found two charred corpses inside. They didn't expect this little kid to be so lucky...

"Wait! Sir, please wait..."

When Severus saw the man about to leave, he came to his senses and rushed forward, grabbing the other man's clothes and refusing to let go.

"Please tell me...what happened? Where are my father and mother? Where are they?"

He impatiently wanted to kick the kid away, but the lame man felt a chill in his back and stopped his movement abruptly. He dared to swear to God!

If he did anything, that guy who looked like a rich man would definitely kill him directly!

"...Can't you still see it? Fire! Inexplicable fire! We only found their bones! They were scattered all over the floor like broken carbon!"

"Let me go now! You little...guy!"

Severus let go and covered his buzzing ears. What fire? There was a fire after he fainted?

His mother is a witch! How could he die in a small fire?

"It's all lies...it's all lies..."

Tom walked to Severus and looked at the scorched blackness in front of him calmly. No one can stop death...

No one can stop a person who has no regrets from heading towards death.

"Are you satisfied... What is the truth? Is it really important..."

The dark eyes became deeper, and Tom murmured, as if he was talking to himself, and also seemed to be asking this little guy...

"Knowing everything, what can you do? You can't do anything... Right? You haven't gained anything... except... the pain that will never heal... that will follow you forever..."

"Go back, go back to where you should be..."

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

Leaving Severus to his godson again, Tom left the manor again without saying a word.

What you see is still the ruined house, and the only thing left behind is the gardener who has gone through more vicissitudes of life.

Pushing open the door to the study, Tom sat on the chair behind the desk again, staring at his right hand in a daze.

"Ahem...Tom..."

Abraxas covered his nose, dispersed the dust in the air, and held the depressed Tom in his arms from behind, "Why don't you go home..."

"Home...yes...why don't I go home..."

Tom rolled his eyes stiffly, where is his home?

No matter how deep the relationship is...he still has no so-called 'family'...

"Abu...am I being cruel? Treating a cub like this...but what can I do..."

"Tell out a false lie and let him have expectations... until the end... he will crush those beautiful illusions with his own hands..."

"Pain and suffering...are inevitable no matter what, aren't they..."

Gritting his teeth, Abraxas closed his eyes and exhaled, "How could my Tom be cruel... This is reality..."

"You just took him and knew everything in advance... How about going home? Go back to our home..."

Looking up at Abu, Tom put his arms around the other person's neck, slowly pulled him down, kissed his tightly pursed lips, "Relax..."

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

Tom didn't pay too much attention to the Prince family's cub. As usual, Tom guided Lucius in his magic theory during the holidays.

"Godfather...Does Severus need lessons~ I can teach him etiquette!~"

Tom glanced at the little platinum whose eyes were wandering around, and his temples began to beat suddenly. Is Lucius a member of the Malfoy family?

Why are you thinking about how to be lazy all day long?

"....Lucius, do you think you have the qualifications? Or do you want to avoid your homework?"

Rolling his eyes vaguely, Lucius tilted his head and reflected seriously. As Malfoy's heir, he had already received his father's approval...

Magic can't just be based on theory. When he gets the wand, he will definitely be better than others...

so...

"Godfather~ I think I have the qualifications! And I will not avoid what I should do. Besides, my grandfather told me..."

"If my talent in a certain area is not good, I can spend a large sum of galleons to hire wizards with good talent to serve me..."

"No matter what Severus said...he is still a bloodline of the Prince family~ Godfather, since you can't use him, how about leaving him to me? It's time for me to cultivate my own confidants..."
