Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

His expression became strange. Severus tilted his head and frowned, imagining the scene when his mother was young, pointing and scolding others fiercely.

"Uh... Sir... is this true? I can't imagine it... In my memory, my mother... is always... always quiet and repressed..."

"Only occasionally will she whisper to me tenderly..."

Tom put down the tea cup, touched the tip of his nose and looked away. As one of the people who had been 'disliked' before, his guess was indeed very possible, wasn't it...

"Who knows, this is just my guess. Erin was also very quiet when she was in Slytherin, but that was just her disguise."

"Perhaps in her eyes, those wizards in the same grade are just a group of spoiled childish idiots... If anyone still remembers her..."

"Slughorn...that is, the dean of Slytherin, may be one of them. After you enter there, you can ask your dean."

Severus nodded obediently, looking forward to entering Hogwarts even more, but he...

"Sir, am I really qualified to enter Slytherin? What if I go to another house? Sirius once said..."

"The sorting is determined by blood and family. I'm just a mixed race..."

"Me too..." Tom glanced at the troubled little wizard strangely. Should he give Severus one more lesson?

"If you read the History of Magic yourself, or like Lucius, write down the contents of the book Born Noble..."

"You wouldn't ask me such a stupid question now, Severus...who you are born into doesn't determine who you become."

"Go to your study and research your mother's family... You will understand why your mother chose to leave the wizarding world in the first place..."

Not resenting the increased amount of study he had done, Severus thanked him sincerely, trotted to his study, and pulled out a few History of Magic books from the bookshelf.

He flipped through the contents quickly and slowed down when a familiar last name appeared.

‘Prince—one of the oldest pure-blood families. His family is very good at making potions. The family heads of the past generations are famous potion masters.

Even in the history of the development of the wizarding world, there are many famous potions invented by the Prince family...

It is said that the Prince family’s collection of books is comparable to that of Rowena Ravenclaw. Some people even speculate that the first generation Prince was related to Ravenclaw...’

Licking his lips, Severus nodded in understanding and opened another book of modern history.

‘The last potion master of the Prince family, Scarborough Prince, is also the last head of this ancient family.

Around 1940, the potions made by Mr. Scarborough Prince gradually disappeared from the market. Rumor has it that a potion accident caused the potion master to lose the ability to make potions...

The granddaughter of Mr. Scarborough Prince was the last Prince... Unfortunately, after 1947, no one knew of her traces anymore...'
