Chapter 36 Tom's Les Miserables(1/2)
"snort!"
The two of them met in tit-for-tat, and the tower became colder, and layers of black frost formed on the walls, and gradually, even tiny snowflakes began to fall.
Seeing the tense momentum of the two teachers, Hermione still couldn't stand it even though she couldn't understand what they said.
When the hail was falling from the tower, she finally couldn't help it and quietly came to the principal.
"Principal, the teacher seems to be fighting. Go and persuade me!"
Lin Zhengyang pulled Little Hermione over and stuffed her a thick parchment bag, saying:
"This year I was a little rushed. I didn't have a computer ready, so I could only send a letter by burning it."
Burn letters?
Isn't that a custom of worshiping the dead?
"That's right."
Hermione felt ashamed and angry as she was seen through her mind. She ran aside in anger and lit the entire paper bag with her wand.
Then, she saw a thick stack of notices tied with rubber bands, and the flames became an unknown green when they touched them.
In the flames, these notices seemed to melt and flowed, turning into a shiny translucent card that disappeared little by little.
"Notices will appear in safe places, such as schoolbags, bedsides, or pages, and in short, they will ensure that the admitted person can see them in time."
Lin Zhengyang was impatient to fill out the admission notice one by one, so he simply used magic to fill in the roster by himself. Except for the different names and addresses, the others were exactly the same.
"The Ministry of Magic has traces, and they are placed on the wands. Every wand sold by regular wand shops must be registered and wrapped in traces. This is one of their means to monitor underage wizards."
"The tracing is very sensitive, but also accurate, and often produces false alarms. When you have an adult wizard around you, they can't tell who is using the magic."
"Hogwarts also has special magic that can screen out awakened little wizards and automatically enter the student roster."
"When the freshman little wizard went to Hogwarts branch for the first time, it was considered as completing an admission ceremony and signing a contract with the school to officially become a student. This is a very exquisite conception and creative magic."
Lin Zhengyang ignored the two teachers who were in the cold war over there and told Hermione about his thoughts.
"I choose students here, and I don't need them to awaken their magic on their own. I just need them to have a little."
"That is luck, in the words of this, it is fate and luck."
"Because it was my first time, I chose a student and there was no requirement. As long as I could randomly get his name and not too old, they would be able to enter the school."
"What if someone refuses?"
This is indeed a big problem. After all, the Clock Tower is just a new school, and it may be regarded as a liar.
"That's the opportunity is not going to be free."
Silence fell on the field.
The bundles of letters were burned, but there was no smoke at all, and only a little snowflake fell.
"Is something wrong with Hogwarts' transfer application? It seems that Voldemort still released the basil monster, and Dumbledore fell in love with him. No wonder, that old man likes someone as talented as him the most."
"When it comes to Hogwarts' history, there are not many people who can surpass Tom at this age."
After shaking the letter in his hand, Lin Zhengyang seemed to smile, with an inexplicable sarcasm.
"Then will you accept him?"
Hermione asked nervously.
Although Tom Riddle was not the later Dark Lord, he was not so easy to meet.
Past experiences put a lot of psychological pressure on her.
"Accept? Of course not!"
Lin Zhengyang returned to the Tao with a firm determination.
"Why? He is so outstanding, he will definitely add luster to the school!"
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief and was a little curious... Who would reject such a talented student? Just because of the reason why he might become a dark wizard in the future?
Lin Zhengyang seemed to be able to see through Hermione's heart and explained to her patiently.
"Of course I won't judge a person because of a mistake that has not made yet... In fact, anyone can become Voldemort or the Dark Lord. As you who often travel through parallel worlds, you should understand this."
Hermione nodded heavily.
She has seen the blackened Ron and Harry competing for the position of the Dark King, Dumbledore was the biggest mastermind, Grindelwald launched the magic revolution, the invasion of the ancient evil gods and other versions of the Harry Potter world.
In these worlds, each one is different.
Even she herself, Hermione from different worlds, is not completely consistent.
Some of Hermione, who married into the pure blood family, some became the Minister of Magic, some became the Arcane, and even more strangely, Hermione is the Creator himself...
Tom Riddle may not be Voldemort, nor may Voldemort be the Dark Lord, everything is uncertain.
Judging by possible future events, anyone has the potential to become a dark devil.
"My real reason for rejecting his number is that he did not maintain his alma mater."
"The initial opening of the secret room can be understood as a man-killing, and it can be said that he caused a major crisis in Hogwarts."
Hermione was not surprised how the young principal in front of her knew about this.
In just half a month of getting along, she has confirmed that the principal, including those teachers, are all visitors from another world, just like those she has encountered in her previous journey.
"He left the orphanage that he hated, and after he came to the school, it can be said that it became half of his home. However, after he did these things, he did not find a way to solve the mess he left behind, but he wanted to transfer the school."
"From here, I don't think he loves his alma mater enough."
"Hogwarts was the place where he first grew up, and it was also where he built up his confidence. The turning point in his life was of different significance. Even so, he left as soon as he said..."
"The clock tower cannot give him more..."
"Look, if you don't care for Hogwarts, how can you expect him to maintain the clock tower? He is such a person!"
Indeed, from this point of view, there is quite a good reason to reject him.
...
"What? I actually rejected me!"
Tom Riddle could hardly believe it after receiving the news.
He wrote his resume beautifully.
Every subject is excellent. The student union president is the first in the school every year and has been highly praised by many professors...
He even attached papers from previous years and various awards he received.
Such an excellent person was rejected?!
"Someone actually rejected me?"
Tom looked carefully at the reply.
It is written in a very obscure and tactful way, but the meaning of rejection is very obvious.
You are so outstanding that our school is a kid and dare not accept it!
"Is that old man Dumbledore interfering?"
If you think about it carefully, among all the professors, he only has this motivation and the ability to prevent him from transferring to school.
Is a new magic school that is unknown, willing to offend the powerful wizard who defeated the Dark King Grindelwald for his sake, a student who looks good?
Tom thinks the answer is obvious.
"Yes, he definitely doesn't want to let me out of his sight... Damn old glass!"
He angrily crushed the letter paper, and the handsome student president pinched his fingers into his palm, leaving a few blood marks.
"I won't surrender..."
As the student president, there are quite a lot of opportunities to deal with the vice principal.
But every time, Dumbledore would always look at him with an ambiguous, chilling look, and smiled and asked him to drink some strange drinks.
The witty Tom Riddle saw that something was wrong and politely refused.
But this is not the end. Finally one day, the handsome student president left tears in humiliation and pointed at Slytherin's name and vowed to revenge.
When I went back, I immediately learned potions crazily, and soon I showed my extraordinary talent - under the strong sense of crisis brought by some old glass.
Slughorn, a professor of potions and dean of Slytherin, likes to make friends with famous and powerful people. He founded the Slug Club in Hogwarts. The club members are all young witches with prominent family backgrounds or extraordinary talents. Slughorn always gets benefits and benefits from his favorite students.
In order to impress the professor, Tom spent a lot of effort to collect the dean's preferences, and then to his preferences, finally got his full teachings. He became a professional in the field of pharmacy in just two years.
From then on, he could drink all the supplementary drinks that old glass had treated him without changing his face every time, and for this he became obsessed with potions.
It is precisely because of these experiences that Tom accidentally learned about the Horcrux.
During a conversation, Slughorn revealed the secret of eternal life, which aroused the evil thoughts in the heart of the young Voldemort. It was Slughorn who told Voldemort's Horcrux.
This was almost a major turning point among the Tom.
If it weren't for the drink with a romance agent, Tom wouldn't have been studying potions crazily, and perhaps it wouldn't have been able to impress Slughorn. Then the latter wouldn't have been so proud of the Horcrux, and there wouldn't be a second-generation Dark Lord with seven Horcruxes and his Death Eater...
