Vol 2 Chapter 1485: Riddle's story

"Professor, have you found the location of the home elf home?" Ai Wen asked. .
In the past Christmas holiday, he has not had a clue about turning over so many materials, but Dumbledore has more information than him, and there will be a way.
Since he took the initiative, it must be a clue.
So where is the home of the house elf?
"There is some intelligence. It's a coincidence. Because of the course, I recently reorganized my memories. I found some very interesting information in it, which I ignored before." Dumbledore said, "I think this information will Help us find the home of the house elf."
Ai Wen took a moment and didn't expect Dumbledore to mention the lessons and memories.
His classes and memories are related to Voldemort’s past experiences. Is there information hiding the home of the elf?
"Ai Wen, the process of looking for the secret treasure key left by the four founders of Hogwarts, I was inspired a little, so I carefully read the memories I once had, and I really found a little Situation.
Dumbledore continued.
When you read that memory, you will understand, but before that, we still have three important memories to look at. This is why I want you to come early tonight. Oh, yes, one of these three memories, you have already seen it, it comes from Tom Riddle’s 舅舅 Morfin, about him and Riddle’s story; the other comes from me, it’s us soon I found the ring that happened that night. These memories are very important. I think it should be possible for Harry to take another look and help him understand Voldemort."
Knowing Voldemort, Ai Wen feels that the 15-year-old Riddle will come out and say that the effect may be better.
The next second, with Dumbledore's movements, Ai Wen's eyes fell on his right hand full of spells.
There is also a black ring that seems to be the center of these dark green magic spells.
"All in all, the four memories we are going to see this evening are all related to Tom Riddle. The last paragraph will bring us unexpected surprises, but we need to follow the story of Tom Riddle in chronological order." Dumbledore Lang said, "The last time, we said that he was about to enter the threshold of Hogwarts. You probably remember how excited he was when he heard that he was a wizard, and he refused to let me accompany him to Diagonal Lane. I also warned him not to continue stealing after he entered school."
"Then, the new school year began. Tom Riddle came to the school, a quiet boy in a second-hand robe, and lined up with other freshmen to attend the branch ceremony. The shroud was almost touched by his head and he was assigned to him. Wrightlin College.
Dumbledore continued, the right hand with the mantra waved behind him, pointing to the old, old branch hat that was still on his head.
I don’t know what Riddle is. I learned that the famous founder of the college would be a snake, um, if I guess, maybe it was in the evening of the branch. The news must have made him very excited and increased his conceit."
"Maybe he used a snake in the common room to scare Slytherin's classmates or let them admire him. This talent is particularly awesome in Slytherin College. However, these points have not been passed to the faculty. There, he did not show the slightest arrogance or aggressiveness. As an orphan who was very qualified and very handsome, he naturally attracted the attention and sympathy of the teachers almost at the school. He looked very polite, quiet and attentive. Humility, hunger for knowledge, almost everyone is very impressed with him, even some faculty members who have always been disgusted with Slytherin College.
"Then you didn't tell them what you looked like when you saw him at the orphanage?"
"No," said Dumbledore. "Although he has never expressed remorse, perhaps he has blamed himself for his previous actions and is determined to be a man again. I chose to give him this opportunity."
Dumbledore is very tolerant of other people's mistakes, of course, if he is willing to believe in you.
In other words, Tom Riddle at the time was temporarily trusted by Dumbledore.
It may be because of age that Dumbledore believed him, and Riddle was only eleven years old.
An eleven-year-old boy, where can it be bad and where can it go? !
I am afraid no one will think that one day, he will become the Dark Lord...
"He came to Hogwarts..." Dumbledore stopped and looked at Harry inquiringly.
"Well, sorry to interrupt you, Professor!" said Harry, because Dumbledore’s words once again proved that he trusted others in the past, despite the overwhelming tone that those people were not trustworthy, which made Harry again. I remembered Snape and...
"But you don't really believe in Riddle, are you? He once said that Riddle, who came out of the diary, said: Dumbledore never seemed to like me like other teachers."
"I really didn't think that he was trustworthy," Dumbledore said. "I told you last time that I decided to watch him closely. I did the same. I can't say that I found it from the beginning of the observation. A lot, he is very alert to me. To be honest, I believe he feels it. He said too much to me in the excitement of discovering his true identity. He carefully watched not to expose so much, but He couldn't take back those words that he said in excitement, and he couldn't take back what Mrs. Cole had confided to me. However, he was wise, and confused me with so many colleagues who confuse me.
Riddle must have felt the difference between Dumbledore and other professors, knowing that he is dangerous.
Needless to say, I don’t even dare to get close to Dumbledore.
"In short, Riddle mixed very well in the school. He quickly surrounded a group of friends who had listened to him and died. I said this because there is no better word, but I have already mentioned that Riddle is undoubtedly There is no feeling for them.
Dumbledore continued.
These people form a kind of dark force in the castle. They are complex in composition, the weak are seeking asylum, the ambitious home wants to have some prestige, and the human cruel, by a They are able to teach them to be more cruel leaders. In other words, they are the predecessors of the Death Eaters, and some really became the first Death Eaters after leaving Hogwarts."
"From what I learned later, Riddle is very strict with them. This group of people has never been found to be doing bad things, even though they have had too many evils in Hogwarts in the past seven years. But they have not been able to connect with them. The most serious one is of course the opening of the Chamber of Secrets, which caused a girl to die. You know, Hagrid suffered from this case..."
