v2 Chapter 1798： With a Voldemort

"When Sirius took us to the centaur temple, the magic that Voldemort left was attached to him, and it has been affecting Ron all these years." Harry took a deep breath. " No wonder he was so easy to control, Mad-Eye said the dark magic had a profound effect on Ron's soul."

This matter is commonly understood, that is, with a Voldemort.

He may not speak directly in your head, but he will subtly influence you all the time.

Of course, Harry had one on him too, but it wasn't activated.

Ron this activated, and his soul immunity has been decreasing over the past few years.

Therefore, he is particularly vulnerable to the control and influence of black magic. Ron's ability to persist until now without degenerating into a hopeless dark wizard or lunatic shows that he is tenacious enough.

No one other than Ron had been under the influence of Voldemort for that long.

He's a brave wizard, but now, it's useless to say that.

"There must be a way!" said Hermione suddenly.

"Sirius is right, we have to learn to accept reality..."

Harry stopped, hearing Hermione cry.

Beside him, Hermione kept wiping her eyes with her hands, crying more and more.

Although he told himself not to cry, tears still fell uncontrollably when he looked at Ron lying silently in front of him. Immediately afterwards, she thought of Ai Wen again. What she fears most these days is the night.

Every night, she cried alone in the bed, missing Ai Wen.

Hermione forgot who said it before, either at Bill and Fleur's wedding, or when she got the news of Lupin and Tonks' marriage, or when someone else decided to get married: at this precarious time , People all cherish it very much, and do what they have to do, because they don't want to leave any regrets, so many people get married.

Even if they were killed by Voldemort tomorrow, at least they left no regrets.

Hermione felt like a fool for not saying anything or doing anything before.

Seeing Hermione crying so hard, Harry didn't know how to comfort her.

Because he was also sad, watching his best friend die.

Is there anything more cruel than this in the world?

Harry looked at Ron on the bed again, his face was pale and bloodless, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

He continued to move his gaze, and his gaze fell on several items on the bedside table.

A silver lighter caught his attention, the deluminator Dumbledore had left to Ron.

Harry didn't know why Dumbledore wanted this thing for Ron!

This thing didn't help them in any way, just like the Golden Snitch that Dumbledore left him, is this deluminator just a simple deluminator, a souvenir?

What's the point of this? Harry thought irritably, reached for the deluminator, and with a click, he had just opened the lid, and a white ball of light floated out from inside, which was the light source stored inside.

The white ball of light slowly floated in front of Harry.

"This light extinguisher is very ingenious. It was made by Dumbledore himself. In addition to storing the light source, it seems to have the function of guiding the lost people." Hermione choked and said.

"But it can't help Ron, no one can help Ron out of the dark..."

"Maybe, I can help this boy!" At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly sounded beside Harry and Hermione.

In the dimly lit room, the two of them were surprised to see a vague figure of a young man appearing beside them. He had black hair, dark eyes, pale face, very handsome, and looked well-behaved, gentle, and polite.

But Harry and Hermione had a creepy feeling.

This is fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle, the boy Voldemort.

"Where did you come from?" Harry asked immediately, resting his right hand on the wand at his waist.

"I've been following you, you just haven't noticed," Riddle said.

"how is this possible…"

"With all due respect, Harry Potter, although Dumbledore chose you, you really don't have much talent in magic. You may become a qualified wizard in the future, but you are definitely not a powerful wizard. Because you're not curious enough." Riddle said politely, "Dumbledore gave you the Snitch, but you never thought to open it and see what was inside."

"You're in that Snitch?" Harry said in surprise.

"To be precise, the Resurrection Stone is inside the Snitch."

"But why?"

"Dumbledore probably thought that I could help you at the last minute," said Riddle meaningfully.

"What can you do for me?" Harry demanded.

"It's hard to say that Dumbledore has always had his own ideas and has no habit of sharing them with others," Riddle said. "But as things stand, I might be able to help you save this boy."

"Can you save Ron?"

"You two don't look at me like that, I'm just saying it's possible." Riddle pointed to Ron. "This boy has a shard of Voldemort's soul, or Horcrux, attached to his soul. , can't be removed, because once it is removed, it is equivalent to erasing the boy's soul, which means killing him in a popular sense. But I am familiar with the principle of the Horcrux, which is of the same origin as its power, and I can enter Go into this boy's soul and clear it without hurting the soul."

"Are you serious?" said Harry excitedly. "Ron is still alive."

He couldn't believe that Ron was still saved! It doesn't matter if the person who saves him is Tom Riddle, the young Voldemort.

"Watch my wording, it's possible, but not guaranteed to succeed," Riddle continued. "In fact, it seems to me that failure is more likely. I've never done this kind of magic. , and the biggest problem is that the soul fragments in his body were separated from the main soul later than mine, you know what this means, right?"

After a brief silence, Hermione said, "Meaning, it's stronger than you?"

"Yes, we both have the same mind, but it has more knowledge and power than me, and it knows everything about me, but I don't know everything about it. It's a hard fight, there's almost no The possibility of victory," said Riddle softly.

"We can assist you, whatever you tell us to do!" Harry exclaimed. In any case, he will not pass up this opportunity.

Even if, as Riddle said, the odds were low, he was willing to try. This was their last chance at the moment, and Harry was willing to try, as the drowning man would hold on to the last straw. Even failure was better than waiting for Ron to die.
