Hogwarts: I, Tom, am really not Voldemort!

“Ah!!!”

Umbridge's miserable scream echoed in the dilapidated house.

At this moment, she had been marked by Tom.

On the inner side of her left upper arm was the Dark Mark, only slightly modified by Tom, with a line of small words added below the mark: "I am Albus Dumbledore's dog."

On the inner side of her right upper arm was the symbol of the Saints, also with a line of small words below: "I am Gellert Grindelwald's dog."

Umbridge stared blankly at the pattern on her right arm, unable to resist asking, “This is the mark of the Saints? Why?”

“In 1945, after the century大战 between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the Saints disappeared, but they have always been active in secret. With Grindelwald locked up in Nurmengard, who do you think is leading them?”

Hearing Tom's words, Umbridge opened her mouth but couldn't utter a sound. After a long while, she finally managed to spit out a name: “Albus Dumbledore.”

After saying this name, Umbridge seemed to have lost all her strength.

Tom seized the opportunity to affirm her thoughts: “That's right, it's Professor Dumbledore. You should call him Master. This time I can forgive your disrespect, but next time you will not be spared.”

“Then why mark ‘I am Gellert Grindelwald's dog’?” Umbridge still had a trace of doubt in her heart.

“That's to commemorate his most respected opponent—Gellert Grindelwald.”

After speaking, Tom whispered in her ear: “Seeing as you are so sensible, I'll tell you a secret that only Death Eaters and core members of the Saints know.”

“Professor Dumbledore and Grindelwald are lovers~”

Umbridge was immediately stunned. So, so this is the true face of the magical world beneath the surface!!!

No wonder she always felt that an invisible hand was covering the sky of the magical world, secretly manipulating everything.

Now she understood. As the common master of the three largest black and white forces in Europe—the Order of the Phoenix, the Death Eaters, and the Saints—Dumbledore was the one truly hidden behind the scenes, truly crowned as king in the magical world.

Compared to him, what was Fudge? What was the Ministry of Magic? At this moment, Umbridge felt extremely fortunate that she had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light in time, making the right choice.

......

Hogwarts Castle, eighth floor, Headmaster's office.

Dumbledore was having a cordial conversation with Grindelwald.

The content was unknown. The surrounding headmaster portraits had been put to sleep with a spell.

These days could be said to be the most relaxing time for Dumbledore recently.

Tom had been acting strangely these past few days, not causing any trouble, giving the old man a rare moment of respite. Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would suddenly die in the Headmaster's seat one day.

The 'Umbridge' sent by the Ministry of Magic had also seemed to have changed these past few days, not wandering around the castle, but staying quietly in her office. She could only be seen at mealtimes, which made the teachers and students in the castle breathe a sigh of relief.

See? These days, he and Grindelwald had been meeting much more often. He hoped that the days to come would be so peaceful.

Perhaps Merlin heard Dumbledore's prayer. Just as Dumbledore was happy, he heard the sound of the gargoyle statue moving at the entrance of the Headmaster's office, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He had an inexplicable bad feeling.

At this moment, Tom's voice, which he least wanted to hear, came from the rotating staircase: “Remember the etiquette of the audience later, don't be rude.”

What are you going to do again? Don't come over, ah. Dumbledore had no interest in seeing Tom at all at this time.

Unfortunately, all of this would not shift according to Dumbledore's will. Tom's figure quickly appeared in the Headmaster's office, and behind him was someone he never expected—Dolores Umbridge.

Tom and Umbridge, what kind of combination is this?! Dumbledore, who had been tricked by Tom for a long time, felt more and more uneasy.

When Tom saw Dumbledore and Grindelwald, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sincerely happy smile, as if he had found a good cp.

“Good evening, Professor Dumbledore, and Professor Lockhart. I didn't expect you to be here too. Sorry, I disturbed you.”

You know you disturbed us? Say what you have to say, and get lost if you have nothing to say.

At this moment, Dumbledore and Grindelwald reached a consensus.

But they still had to maintain the image of elders, after all, the persona could not collapse. So Dumbledore said gently: “Good evening, Tom, what's the matter today?”

“Today I brought Ms. Umbridge to see you.”

After Tom finished speaking, he obediently stepped aside and stood with Grindelwald.

Hearing Tom say this, Dumbledore looked at Umbridge, who was standing obediently to the side. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Umbridge suddenly prostrate herself at his feet and begin to lightly kiss the hem of his robe.

“......”

Because it was too outrageous, even Dumbledore was stunned and didn't react.

But this was just the beginning. After Umbridge kissed the hem of Dumbledore's robe, she said to Dumbledore in the most pious tone: “Master, I, Dolores Umbridge, will become your most loyal dog, and offer you—the great Albus Dumbledore—everything, everything for Dumbledore, everything for the Death Eaters.”

“......”

This series of actions made Dumbledore feel that his brain was starting to crash. He couldn't react. So Umbridge joined the Death Eaters, and he was the master?

Seeing that Dumbledore had no reaction, and remembering the marks on her right arm and the back of her neck, Umbridge added improvisational: “I am Gellert Grindelwald's dog, for the greater good!”

“......”

This time, not only Dumbledore, but even Grindelwald, who was watching the show on the side, couldn't help but fall into a state of crash. How was she a Death Eater one second, and then a Saint the next?

What's going on? Which side is Umbridge on?

And Umbridge wasn't like this a few days ago. How did she become like this now?

But no matter what, all of this must have been done by Tom Riddle, who was eating melons and watching the show with an excited face.

Then, all the questions only need to be asked to the instigator.

Dumbledore, who finally came back to his senses, first dismissed Umbridge in a few words, and then vented the anger he had accumulated during this period towards Tom.

The wronged has its head, the debtor has its owner.

The White Wizard also has a temper. Now is the time to settle accounts with Tom.
