I became Voldemort

This letter is from "Tom Riddle"!

Harry only read the first few sentences and stood there blankly.

He never dreamed that one day he would receive a letter from that person, and that person also sent him a greeting card with birthday wishes written on it. A blessing and a spell he had never heard of.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to continue reading, but surprisingly, Harry felt no sadness or anger at all, but felt a little ...happy?

Ever since he learned something about "Tom Riddle", Harry found that his own experience was very similar to that person's. He should have been angered, disgusted, even horrified by the similarities. Because Voldemort was a terrible person, he killed many people, including his own parents. I have to live under someone else's roof now because of his 'gift'.

But in fact, he felt a sense of familiarity, he felt a little lucky. There was someone who was very similar to him, almost like a brother. The feeling was very wonderful, just like the Weasley twins he knew. They are always together and are always inseparable.

Harry felt that he regarded Hogwarts as his home, which was the same for "Mr. Riddle", and there was a strong resonance between them.

Another reason that prevented Harry from hating "Mr. Riddle" was that Harry had met Voldemort at the end of his first year. Therefore, it was difficult for him to equate Voldemort with "Mr. Riddle".

The mad man was very weak at the time, but still terrifying. He possessed Professor Quirrell and almost killed Harry. Fortunately, Harry had a protective spell left by his mother before she died, which made Voldemort unable to harm him. He or Quirrell's hand just touched him a little, and immediately disappeared into ashes.

But this time, for the whole year, Harry had been in contact with "Mr. Riddle" many times, but the spell had never been triggered once. Perhaps the spell failed? But Harry preferred to think that "Mr. Riddle" never meant to harm him.

In fact, he didn't truly hurt anyone.

According to Hermione, the basilisk can actually kill everyone easily. Even if it can't, "Mr. Riddle" can do it himself. This is not difficult for him, but all Those who were attacked were eventually rescued.

Harry continued reading:

"Yes, I am 'Riddle'. But actually I would rather you call me Cyrus, yeah, that's the name I have taken now. Whether it is Riddle or Voldemort, they are all in the past for me, not the present, and not the future. As for Everything else is pretty much the same as what's said in the news.

"It was indeed Sirius Black who helped me leave Azkaban, but it's a bit far to say he was an accomplice. We just made a deal, with different purposes. On the contrary, it's you who will be in trouble again next semester - —"

Harry was slightly embarrassed. He had been in constant trouble over the past two school years.

He could already imagine the mocking expression on "Mr. Riddle's" face when he wrote these words.

However, Harry was confused by the "trouble" mentioned by "Mr. Riddle". He really didn't understand what else could be related to him? He continued reading, hoping to get some information from the rest of the letter. But Cyrus changed his words and talked about something else.

"I guess you are probably wondering now - why I am still writing to you now. In addition to the fact that it happens to be your birthday, I also want you to help me apologize to Ginny for betraying her trust. I had something else and I was also helpless..."

Harry noticed that the text on the letter seemed to pause here for a long time, and the ink was smeared on the letter paper.

It seemed that "Mr. Riddle" had more words to explain, but he finally ended the topic and continued. :

"Let me give you some advice, Harry. The professor of the Divination course you and Ron chose this semester - Sybill Trelawney - is just an old delusional lady most of the time, but in fact She does have the gift of prophecy.

"If you can still trust me, and you happened to hear the prophecy coming from her mouth, if you don't mind, tell me about it, and as for how to tell me? It's simple, I will know as long as you write it in that diary (please Keep that I can read the diary a secret from Ginny, she has been writing a lot and I can't handle the bombardment of her messages, and it took me a while to calm down for a few days so if she knows I can actually read that, she will start bombarding more)."

Seeing this, Harry suddenly laughed.

That night, after confirming that there was no danger, Dumbledore left "Riddle's Diary" to Ginny. Harry didn't expect that "Mr. Riddle" actually had a backup plan, even though Ginny persisted in writing many words in the diary without any response.

"The second suggestion is that there is a high probability that you will be able to use the spell behind the birthday greeting card I sent you with this letter. It is a good thing to learn it early.

"The third suggestion, or should be said to be a reminder, is more appropriate. ...Remember, sometimes things seem dangerous. The omen may be just the opposite, and if you spend time with things day and night, they will show their fangs."

"Your friend,

~Cyrus."

"P.S: I don't think you will tell Dumbledore what happened today, right?"

At this time, the letter in Harry's hand suddenly burned, and he was so frightened that he quickly threw it away. A small ball of flame burned the letter cleanly in the air before falling, leaving only the birthday greeting card, and he knew immediately that the letter was enchanted.

Harry picked up the greeting card, and there was a spell written in a corner of the card that was full of blessings:

[ Summons a powerful guardian to fend off dark creatures:

-Expecto Patronum

Note: You must recall happy bits of memories in your mind when casting the spell.]

"Calling a powerful Guardian?" Harry had never heard of this spell, but he thought that since "Mr. Riddle" suggested that he needed it, he could at least remember the name first.

Last year, Ginny excelled in many subjects because of the guidance of "Mr. Riddle". Especially in Charms, Harry dared to say that at least many third- and fourth-year wizards were not necessarily Ginny's opponents.

Harry held the greeting card in his hand and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Reason told Harry that he should tell Dumbledore about all this. No one was wiser than Dumbledore.

But something felt strange, and he felt there was nothing wrong with this. "Mr. Riddle" No, it should be said that Mr. Cyrus and Voldemort may not be the same person at all. As he said in his letter, "Sometimes what seems to be a sign of danger may be exactly the opposite."

He put the envelope away, wondering what Mr. Cyrus was doing at the moment. Would he know that both Ginny and Hermione were missing him?

After the truth of the attack came out, no matter what Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley said, Ginny believed that "Mr. Riddle" might not be a bad person. Even the petrified Hermione said that the man just wanted her to sleep for a while.

"He probably thought I was too smart and was a bit of a hindrance, and he even reminded me to use a spell to weaken the basilisk's magic," Hermione had said.

Perhaps Ron was the only one who firmly believed that Mr. Cyrus was a formidable enemy. Ginny believed that Ron was just frightened by the "Voldemort" related things, while Hermione believed that it was due to Ron's dissatisfaction with Mr. Cyrus' unwillingness to help him with his homework and exams.

But in fact, Harry just felt that Ron was a little worried about his sister, so he was behaving like that about this matter.

But even Ron didn't oppose Mr. Cyrus on everything.

At least he felt that Mr. Cyrus had done a very good job of beating up Slytherins in the dueling club and wiping out the Acromantulas in the entire Forbidden Forest.

It can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
