Chapter 719 Differential Treatment

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

Not far away, Fish was facing a much younger Dumbledore, whose hair and beard were still auburn, 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 quickly followed, and Fish also turned his head and made a cute face towards the real Dumbledore.

"Er-a little bit..."

()

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.

At the back of the yard is a square, dark and old-fashioned building, surrounded by high railings. He walked up the steps to the front door and knocked. After a while, a sloppy girl in an apron opened the door.

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

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

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

Then, a skinny, tired-looking woman walked quickly toward them. Her face was chiseled, and she looked more anxious than ferocious. She must be the Mrs. Cole that Dumbledore mentioned.

"...brought the iodine upstairs to Martha, Billy Stubbs had scratched his scabs, and Eric Walley's blood had stained the sheets...It was unlucky to have stained it. Got chickenpox!"

As Mrs. Cole walked towards Dumbledore, she turned to another helper wearing an apron. It is not difficult to guess from Mrs. Cole's words 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, and then 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 came out of her trance. She steeled 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 part living room and part office. It was as shabby as the foyer, and the furniture was old and mismatched. She invited Dumbledore to sit in a rickety chair, and she sat down behind a cluttered desk, eyeing him nervously.

"Albus, what did you do?"

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 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 Mrs. Cole's vigilant gaze, 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, handing the paper back to Dumbledore.

"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 started talking, 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!"

(ˇˇ)

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 their territories without waiting for Fish to compete with the other wild cats. The food was given out.

So when Fitz was a stray cat, he not only did not bully other wild cats, but often shared the food he got from humans with the wild cats and dogs around him. The unlucky ones were only small animals such as mice and birds that Fitz used as food.

"Yes, Voldemort had already shown his cruel side when he was young, but I just thought he was lacking in education at the time. The education at Hogwarts should have allowed him to correct his mistakes, but unfortunately..." Dumbledore sighed.

At this time, the young Dumbledore also saw the young Voldemort, and there was no trace of the Gaunt family on his face. Merope's last words became a reality: he was simply a smaller version of his handsome father. For an eleven-year-old child, he was tall, with black hair and a pale face.

After seeing Dumbledore, Voldemort first showed a vigilant look, and after Dumbledore introduced himself, he showed a very ferocious resistance... He mistook Dumbledore for a staff member of the asylum and wanted to lock himself up in the asylum.

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

(ΦДΦ)

Mao Mao yelled at Dumbledore angrily.

The Dumbledore in his memory had always been patiently communicating with Voldemort. Even if his attitude was bad, Dumbledore was calm.

But what about himself?

Fish could only remember how he was forced to flee everywhere by the bad old man Dumbledore.

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

"You can bully me just because you are a cat!"

(`Д)

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

Mao Mao stared at Dumbledore angrily, wanting him to give him an explanation.
