The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

It's already dark outside.

Dumbledore took off his glasses and rubbed his forehead tiredly. Behind him is a blackboard that he conjured up, full of dense blackboard writing.

His eyes passed over arrows, words, and graphics one by one, and then he let out a sigh from deep in his heart: Young man!

Is this an enterprising young man? Are you too old? Looking at Tom, who also had an indelible tiredness on his face, Dumbledore seemed to see the golden boy from a hundred years ago.

The same talent, the same heroic demeanor, the same ambition, but there is an essential difference between him and that person.

What drives that man is the desire for power and ambition, but what drives the child Tom is probably something very absurd: laziness. If I use a more fashionable word to describe it, it would be Buddhist and salted fish.

After such a long conversation, Dumbledore was certain of one thing: Tom was a man of daily living, and he just wanted to keep his own piece of land and live a peaceful life with his girlfriend. Tom Riddle would disturb his peaceful life, so he wanted to erase Riddle from the world.

He really doesn't have grand ideals, this kid is very realistic. Dumbledore even believed that if it came to a point where nothing could be done, he would completely abandon the wizarding world, pretend to be an ordinary Muggle, and live in seclusion.

However, he is still thinking about the magical world at the moment. Looking at his plan, a trace of respect flashed across Dumbledore's old face: he really dared to think. If his conjecture is true, he may be able to find a pure land for all the wizards in the world, which will be a great achievement! It can be said that all wizards must inherit his kindness.

Just now, Tom gave Dumbledore a complete account of his plan to eliminate Voldemort and his remnants, his plan to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic and the non-magical world, his use of dementors, etc...

Through this blackboard, Dumbledore seemed to see a brand new future. This boy seemed to want to weave a net to trap all unstable factors in the net. No one, including dark creatures, the Dark Lord, the Minister of Magic, and the Prime Minister, could even think of causing trouble. Dumbledore believed that after his death, Hogwarts would be easily under his control if he wanted to.

"The time for change has arrived... There are only a hundred million historical facts left for me to verify - just after Voldemort is destroyed." Tom's voice was a little hoarse and his hair was a little messy, but his eyes were bright. This is the first time since he came here that he has dragged out all his plans, and he is also a little nervous.

The more complex the plan, the greater the chance of errors. Fortunately, Tom's plan is staged and can be implemented stage by stage. As for the first stage, let’s start by reincarnating the noseless monster!

He is now waiting for Dumbledore's response. He really hopes to get some help from the old wizard - even if it is just recognition.

Dumbledore looked at those bright eyes and sighed. The child's idea was good, but it was a pity that the current wizarding world could no longer withstand the hardships.

During the time when Grindelwald was making trouble, almost all the vitality of the wizarding world was drained. To this day, wizards have not recovered from that catastrophe. If it happens again, no one knows what the future of wizards will be like. .

But he didn't want to completely deny Tom's plan - at least the part about destroying Voldemort looked tempting.

"Have you ever thought about what you would do if your hypothesis does not hold true or the magical world does not support your plan?" Dumbledore looked away from the blackboard and asked seriously. At this moment, he was even considering the idea of ​​imprisoning Tom if his answer was not satisfactory. The reason is also very simple. The magic world can't stand the trouble anymore.

Tom thought for a while, "If my conjecture is not true, then all my subsequent plans should be scrapped. I will probably stay in New Azkaban - or White Dolphin Prison for the rest of my life, right? At the same time, I will closely monitor the cabinet. Plus the Ministry of Magic, but I definitely won’t carry out any reforms. It’s good to be a framer for the rest of my life.”

Tom himself also knows very well that for a declining collective, lame reforms are even worse than no changes at all. Many times, this kind of reform works like stepping on the accelerator on a downhill road. So once the conjecture in his mind was falsified, he would not hesitate to choose the conservative line and reject drastic reforms.

And that guess is [Another World]

As a concept in Celtic mythology, even most wizards believe that [the other world] is an illusory existence, but Tom is thinking that if he can find [the other world], he can let the wizards Settling down in [another world]? As for why he dared to think that [another world] existed, it was because of the strange tasks and the creatures that he met on the way to complete the tasks that clearly did not belong to this world - this gave him a glimmer of hope.

In this way, while developing in this world and leaving fire for wizards in [another world], it may be the best choice for wizards.

But the premise of all this is to prove and find the legendary place.

Dumbledore finally felt relieved when he heard what Tom said. Fortunately, this child still knows the severity, plus he still has some good time to live, and with him keeping an eye on it, there shouldn't be any big problems.

So he clapped gently, expressing his approval of Tom. Seeing the boy in front of him smile happily as he applauded, Dumbledore felt that his mood suddenly improved.

"I think you can start the first phase of preparations first. As for Fudge, you can figure it out yourself..."

…

Tom ended his conversation with Dumbledore and walked out of Dumbledore's office exhausted. When he stood up, he could clearly feel that the clothes on his back were wet with sweat. In those few hours, Tom had a strange illusion that he was participating in a graduation defense and a job interview.

As soon as he walked out of the office door, something soft fell on Tom's lap.

"Hmm...huh?" The thing groaned, and it was only then that Tom recognized it as Hermione. She had been leaning outside the door when Tom and Dumbledore were talking, and finally fell asleep!

Tom hurriedly knelt down and held Hermione's hands. His hands were cold, "What's going on? What should I do if I catch a cold!"

Tom complained half pityingly, half complaining.

At this time Hermione also woke up.
