After dropping Nora off at school, Tom decided to go to the grocery store to do some shopping and tie up some loose ends.
When he entered the store, there was the owner who had disrespected him and Nora that day.
The old man who owned the store recognized Tom but didn't dare to say anything. His feelings told him that the man in front of him was dangerous.
After wandering around the store for a while, Tom bought a few things. As he paid, he looked into the old man's eyes and learned what he wanted to know. This old man knew Nora's family and had perverted thoughts about Nora's mother. He had previously made several lewd offers to them for money, but Nora's mother had rejected them and stayed away from him.
As a result, his perverted thoughts increased and began to disturb them. Nora's mother moved in with her father as a solution.
The old man tried to bother them again, but Nora's grandfather beat him up badly. He hadn't bothered them since then, but his hatred for them had only grown.
Tom saw a few more things in this man's memories that would be useful to him. He was so obsessed with Nora's family that he had collected a lot of information about them. One of them was the phone number of Nora's aunt.
Tom planned to call her after he finished his work.
When the old shopkeeper noticed the change in Tom's gaze, he sensed something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
Tom had chosen to use a spell he was quite adept at.
'Imperius'
After leaving the store, Tom took his time and went home. He was in no hurry for anything. He calmly went into the kitchen and made himself a black coffee.
After picking up the coffee cup, he sat down on the living room sofa and leaned back against it. From where he sat, he had a view of the forest. From the outside, Tom looked like a king sitting on his throne. His movements were graceful and majestic. He had learned grace by secretly reading the minds of the children of pureblood families.
Tom closed his eyes after taking a sip of his coffee.
Meanwhile, there was a big fire in a grocery store in the square in Forks. Outside the store, people were watching the fire. Since no one was inside the store, there would be only material damage. So people watching the fire were relieved.
The old man named William, the owner of the burned down market, had gone home as if he was unconscious. He was actually the one who started the fire.
He had a big gasoline can with an idol in his hand.
When he entered the house, it was very dark and dusty. It was obvious from the dust on the curtains that they had not been used for a long time. When the lamp in the living room was turned on, photographs of women could be seen on the walls. This old man had extremely perverted ideas. Among them were photographs of Nora's mother and Nora herself.
The man brought a gasoline can and started pouring gasoline all over the place. In a few minutes the gas can was empty. William went into the kitchen and picked up a candle. After a few seconds the candle ignited itself in his hand.
William could not resist the pressure to fight one last time in his mind and threw the candle on the gasoline. The flames engulfed everything in seconds.
At that moment, Tom Riddle opened his eyes. Most of the coffee in the cup in his hand was gone. While he was checking on William, he did not miss taking a sip of his coffee every now and then.
Meanwhile, William was caught in the middle of the flames, unable to understand what had happened. He struggled to escape but could not open the door of the house. It was impossible to escape because there were iron bars on the windows. He thought of going upstairs, but the way upstairs was in flames.
A few seconds later, William's agonized screams could be heard from inside the burning house. The smoke of the fire was seen by other people. When they got close to the house, they heard William's voice and tried to open the door, but it wouldn't open.
_________________________
While all this was going on, Tom had a phone call with Nora's aunt. He told her a few things. She was living in Canada at the moment. She said she would try to come in a few hours and hung up.
While waiting for Nora, Tom drank some wine and cleaned the house with magic. It was quite cold because it was the middle of January. Tom saw that the firewood was almost gone so he went out and found some.
The wood was wet because there was snow everywhere. Wet wood is hard to burn, but if the fire is enchanted it is easy.
Tom looked at the clock and saw that Nora would be out of school in about two hours, so he went back to his room to continue his magical research. Tom wrote down the spell he had used to find the gang members. It was the first time he had seen the results of this spell.
Projection of Time. This spell allows you to create small projections backwards or forwards in time.
Using these projections, magicians can observe events in the past, predict the future or even change certain events.
However, the use of this spell is extremely complex and dangerous, because changing the past can affect the future and cause unexpected consequences.
Tom thought about the spell after writing his notes in his notebook. Time spells were almost non-existent.
It was a dangerous type of magic to use, even for great wizards. It takes a lot of practice to use it. The power of time is one of the most destructive forces, but also one of the most difficult to control.
As Tom was writing his notes, he felt someone watching him. He knew it was Alice, if it was anyone else he would be dead by now. Tom went and closed the curtain.
He didn't want to be spied on, even if it wouldn't hurt Alice. After changing, Tom got into his car and went to pick up Nora.
On the way he was followed by Alice. When Tom picked Nora up from school they went home. During dinner at home, Nora told him what she had done at school. "Nora, we need to talk about something important."
Tom said with a serious face. "Talk about what?"
Nora looked at him with a curious expression. "Come and sit down." Nora sat on the couch and looked at Tom. "Nora, I spoke to your Aunt Emilia and she said she wants to live with you." Nora's face smiled and you could see she was happy.
Tom was relieved that he loved Nora's aunt. Nora's face suddenly fell. "What will happen to you if I go with my aunt?" Tom was surprised that this little girl was thinking about him. "You can visit me if you like."
Nora liked that idea. As much as Tom cared for Nora, he couldn't give the little girl full affection. He thought it absurd, but normal people valued the concept of love very highly. Tom thought it made sense for Nora to live with her aunt.
She didn't want anyone to suffer a fate like hers and she didn't think they were strong enough to survive. Nora was happy to live with her aunt but sad to leave Tom. Even though he wasn't related to Tom by blood, he cared for him more than his own father.
It was a very happy experience for a child who had never known a father's love.
Tom sent a text message to his aunt saying that they should come and talk and Tom waited. About half an hour later the doorbell rang. Tom got up and went to open the door, followed by the curious Nora with tiny steps.
When the door opened, there was a woman who looked like an adult version of Nora. She was a beautiful blonde woman. She had seen Tom a few times but every time she saw him she was attracted to him.
Emilia looked at Nora standing behind Tom. Emilia's eyes filled with tears as she compared Nora to her sister. Her sister had died and left behind a little girl. When Emilia bent down and got in line with Nora, Nora ran to hug her aunt.
Tom was watching them. He didn't understand why these two were so emotional. After Emilia and Nora had finished hugging, Emilia looked at Nora with a smile. "Thank you for everything, Mr. Miller." "You're welcome."
Tom couldn't deny that his time with Nora had been useful. He was the kind of person who felt that every experience made him stronger. It was tiring and boring to be in charge of a child, even though he was enjoying the new experiences.
