When Harry and the others followed Dumbledore into his memory, they found themselves on a busy old-fashioned street in London.

Not far away, Fish was facing a much younger Dumbledore with auburn hair and beard, walking backwards with him and making faces at him.

Young Dumbledore was wearing an elegant purple velvet suit and was striding along the sidewalk. His appearance, clothing, and special temperament attracted the attention of many passers-by around him.

Harry and the others hurriedly followed, and Fish also turned his head and made a cute face towards the real Dumbledore.

"Yi—— slightly..."

?(?????)?

Fish stuck out his tongue and made a strange sound in his mouth.

Naturally, Dumbledore would not be angry because of this, but instead gave Maomao a happy face in return.

Hermione and Harry were already used to this, but Ron, who had seen the principal like this for the first time, was completely dumbfounded.

Then, Fish stopped being naughty and jumped back to Hermione and the others. Together with everyone, he hung behind the young version of Dumbledore, and finally passed through a large iron door and walked in.

A bare yard.

Behind the yard was a square, dark and old-fashioned building, surrounded by high railings. He walked up the steps leading to the front door and knocked on the door. After a while, a slovenly man in an apron came to the door.

The girl opened the door.

"Good afternoon, I have an appointment with Mrs. Cole, I believe she is the housekeeper here?"

After a simple exchange, Dumbledore followed the girl into the house, and Fish and the others naturally followed.

They walked into a foyer paved with black and white tiles. The whole room looked very shabby, but it was very neat and spotless.

Then, a skinny and tired-looking woman walked towards them quickly. Her face was clear-cut, and she looked more anxious than ferocious. She should be the Mrs. Cole Dumbledore mentioned.

.

"... brought the iodine upstairs to Martha. Billy Stubbs had scratched his scabs, and Eric Vale's blood had stained the sheets... It was so unlucky that he got stained.

Got chickenpox!”

As Mrs. Cole walked towards Dumbledore, she turned around and ordered another helper wearing an apron. From Mrs. Cole's words, it was not difficult to guess the reason for the anxious expression on her face.

Due to being too anxious and busy, Mrs. Cole walked until she was only about half a meter away from Dumbledore before she suddenly became aware of his presence.

Young Dumbledore took the initiative to say hello to her and reminded her that he had an appointment.

Mrs. Cole blinked and finally recovered from her trance. She braced herself and said: "Oh, that's right. Well... well... you'd better come to my room. Yes.

."

She led Dumbledore into a small room that seemed to be half living room and half office. It was as shabby as the entrance hall, and the furniture was old and unmatched. She invited Dumbledore to sit on a rickety chair.

On the chair, she sat behind a messy table and looked at him nervously.

"Albus, what did you do?"

(??w??)?

Mrs. Cole's strange reaction after seeing Dumbledore caught Fish's attention, and he turned to ask the real Dumbledore.

"Actually, no." Dumbledore spread his hands helplessly, "Probably because the Muggle clothes I chose at the time were too formal, which seemed a bit out of place in an orphanage that was not wealthy."

While the two were talking, young Dumbledore had already explained his purpose to Mrs. Cole - to invite Tom Riddle, the eleven-year-old Voldemort, to study at Hogwarts.

Then they saw young Dumbledore, under the vigilant gaze of Mrs. Cole, casually pick up a completely blank piece of paper on the table and hand it over, waving his wand at the same time.

"Here. I think it will all be clear if you take a look at this."

Mrs. Cole's eyes wandered for a moment, then focused again. She looked at the blank paper seriously for a while.

"It seems to be in full compliance with procedure." She said calmly and handed the paper back to Dumbledore.

Feixu: stare——————

(?w?)

"Ahem!" Dumbledore coughed twice awkwardly and explained: "I was indeed right about everything before, but now I can't help it. Mrs. Cole is too shrewd."

The scenes in the memory continued to follow the original trajectory. Under the influence of the gin conjured by Dumbledore, Mrs. Cole gradually opened up the conversation, and Fish and the others also learned from her how Voldemort was born.

, and what life is like in an orphanage.

"This guy Voldemort...has been a bad boy since he was a child!"

(??v?v??)

After listening to Mrs. Cole's description of Voldemort, Fish said seriously: "Fish had never bullied other cats before he was adopted by Minerva!"

Before swallowing the glowing bead, the young Fish was only bullied by other wild cats, but after swallowing the bead, they took the initiative to reconcile the territory without waiting for Fish to compete with other wild cats.

The food was given out.

Therefore, when Feishi was a stray cat, not only did he not bully other wild cats, but he would often share the food he got from humans with the surrounding wild cats and dogs. The only unlucky ones were mice and birds that Feishu

Small animals used as food.

"Yes, Voldemort already showed his cruel side when he was young, but at that time I just thought he lacked education. The education at Hogwarts should be able to allow him to correct his mistakes, but unfortunately..." Dumbledore

Lido let out a long sigh.

At this time, the young Dumbledore also saw the young Voldemort, and there was no shadow of the Gaunt family on his face. Merope's last words became a reality: he was simply his handsome father's

A smaller version. For an eleven-year-old child, he is tall, with black hair and a pale face.

After meeting Dumbledore, Voldemort first showed a vigilant expression, and after Dumbledore introduced himself, he showed a very vicious resistance... He mistook Dumbledore for a staff member of the asylum

, is to put yourself in a lunatic asylum.

"You didn't have such a good attitude when you took Fish to school, meow!"

?(?ΦДΦ?)?

Cat shouted angrily at Dumbledore.

The Dumbledore in his memory had been patiently communicating with Voldemort. No matter how bad his attitude was, Dumbledore always looked calm.

But what about yourself?

Feixi remembered how he was forced to run away by Dumbledore, a bad old man.

Dumbledore twitched the corner of his mouth and explained with a wry smile: "You were a cat at the time...I didn't know you could become a human, and I didn't understand cat language..."

"If you're a cat, you can bully me at will!"

?(?`Д′?)?

Fish became even more angry, even the tail behind him exploded, and the cat ears on his head were pressed down early.

Maomao glared at Dumbledore angrily, wanting him to give him an explanation.
