HOGWARTS:I REALLY NOT DARK LORD

"Hermione, why are you here?"

Coming out of Snape's office, Tom was wondering why Snape's attitude had changed so much, but he accidentally saw a bunch of dark brown fluffy hair appearing at the corner of the corridor.

Combined with the height, he almost immediately determined the identity of the person.

When I walked over, it was indeed Hermione.

The little witch had a conflicted look on her face, and her fingers were tangled together, as if she had encountered some huge problem.

Tom became even more curious. There was no Potions class today, so why did Hermione come to the basement?

"Tom?!"

Hermione, who was struggling, jumped in fright when she heard Tom's voice. Fortunately, Tom dodged quickly, otherwise the furry head would have hit his chin.

"Something's wrong..." Tom took a step back, rubbing his chin, "Why do you look so guilty?

Hermione rolled her eyes fiercely, "You are the one who is guilty."

Although her hair is messy, first-year Hermione is absolutely adorable, and this expression is playful and cute.

That's great.

Tom sighed.

Not black skin, not brown skin, but a white and soft loli.

As for whether it smells good or not, he hasn't tried it up close yet, so he can't easily draw a conclusion.

Tom pulled himself back to his senses and asked again, "Don't interrupt me. What are you hiding from?"

Hermione hesitated for a long time, "I, I heard that Professor Snape is looking for you again, so I'm waiting for you here."

Tom nodded, "So you must have something to do if you're waiting here for me."

Hermione made up her mind, closed her eyes and said in one breath: "I heard from Greengrass that she is learning magic from you. I also want you to teach me, but I don't have anything to give you. You can ask for any conditions. As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."

She and Tom were rivals, and their competition lasted throughout the last few years of elementary school.

But everything changed when she arrived in the magical world. From the very beginning, Tom showed amazing talent, leaving her further and further behind. Originally, she wanted to catch up through hard work.

But after that night of the night tour, Hermione knew that it was basically impossible to catch up on her own.

The powerful force carried by those gorgeous spells was something she could never understand.

They are obviously the same spell, why is there such a big difference in the effect when used?

It can be said that Hermione's coming to Tom to make a request today meant that she had already admitted defeat and chose the most practical power between face and substance.

After the little witch finished speaking, she still kept her eyes closed, nervously waiting for Mu's answer.

Agreeing is a favor, disagreeing is a duty, and no matter what, it will not affect the friendship between the two people.

Tom was disappointed after hearing this. "It's just a small thing. I thought there was some big news."

Hermione was also confused by his attitude, "So do you agree or not?"

Tom said as if it was a matter of course, "I said it was a small matter, so of course I agreed."

"Daveney said she gave 1,200 Galleons for tuition, but I don't have that much money." Hermione said in disbelief.

Tom looked helpless: "I'm not a profiteer or a capitalist who hangs on the street lamp. It doesn't cost so much money to learn magic from me. The dean and professor of Hogwarts are better than me.

They only earn this much in a year, how can I be worthy of this? "

"It's just that Daphne thought I might be short of money, so she insisted on giving it to me."

Hermione was even more shocked: "She wants it just because she gives it to you?"

"If I didn't accept it that day, she would have probably cried, so how could I not accept it?"

"Even if I lent this money to Daphne, I will definitely return it to her in the future, so you don't have to feel so psychologically burdened."

If Tom's system was a system that made him stronger by spending money, he would definitely take Hermione to Granger's dentistry and say to Mr. Granger, "Old Deng, you don't want your precious daughter, whom you have raised for eleven years, to belong to me, do you?"

Then they extorted a few kilograms of gold bars.

There is no doubt that this is how dentists make money in the UK. Hermione's father is not only a dentist, but also the owner of his own clinic. He can definitely come up with this amount of money.

Then he brought Daphne to the Greengrass family, "Mrs. Greengrass, you don't want your daughter to be pregnant before she graduates, do you?"

"Oh? There's another one here? Hehehe..."

After one round, even if the krypton gold system is still a scam, he can probably surpass Snape.

But unfortunately, these scenes only exist in dreams.

His system is a hard-working system that requires him to study hard and become stronger through his own efforts.

After hearing this, Hermione finally realized that it was Tian Funi who was scaring him.

No, that naive person really thought that what he paid was tuition.

In an instant, Hermione's mood brightened a lot. If she really was allowed to take a thousand Galleons, even if she gave all the living expenses for the past seven years to Tom, it would not be enough.

"Of..."

Tom's sudden change of subject made Hermione nervous again, and the little witch looked at him nervously.

"Although Daphne has to pay back the money she lent me, she did help me a lot. So, Miss Granger, what are you prepared to pay?"

"What...what do you want?"

"I want you..." Tom drawled out.

Hermione's pretty face suddenly turned into a red apple, with a hint of pink in it, and she was so tender that it looked like water.

Her mind was reeling.

Want me?

Isn't it too early? Although Tom is a good student and very patient, better than her in every way, and most importantly, he is very handsome, so handsome that she often takes the opportunity to peek at him when asking questions.

But isn't this too fast?

Don't people usually start dating in the third or fourth grade?

No, if it was delayed until the third or fourth grade, Greengrass would definitely succeed. Otherwise, if he just agreed to it, it would be hard to say who would get the upper hand.

"I want you... to help me with my homework." Tom finally stated his purpose.

The light in the girl's eyes disappeared, and she looked lifelessly at Tom, who had a sly smile on his face.

"Tom Riddle, I'm going to kill you!"

The little witch completely lost her composure and rushed over to punch Tom's chest with her little fists, but her fists were still soft, as if she was just acting coquettishly.

Fortunately, there were no students around, otherwise they would have thought the two were flirting.

After venting, Hermione panted and pushed Tom away: "No, do your own homework, I won't help you.

"What's the point of doing homework?" Tom asked back.

"Review what we learned in class." Hermione said as a matter of course.

Tom Bear spread his hands, "But I don't need to review. My learning progress has long surpassed the course progress. Doing homework is just a waste of my time, especially Snape and Cuthbert Binns. Every time they assign homework, it's boring and long."

"So the homework is not only not helping me, but it is actually hindering my progress."

Hermione fell into deep thought after hearing his words.

She realized that she had been shaken.

Tom continued to try to deceive her: "You are different, Hermione.

You can have two different ideas by writing the homework twice.

It is just right for consolidation.

Maybe you don't even need to review it until the end of the semester."

"That won't work." Hermione retorted subconsciously: "How can I not review before the exam?

"DAY..."

It was obvious that she was struggling: "Your handwriting is different from mine, the professor can easily tell."

"You don't have to worry about this problem." Tom said confidently: "I will show you something in a few days. I guarantee that the professor will not find it out, provided that you don't use the same paper."

Hermione agreed hesitantly, secretly lamenting her own fall.

In the past, her roommates were unable to copy her homework, but now she has started to write it for her.

If someone else had excellent grades like Tom and learned much faster than the teacher could teach, she would definitely borrow it.

After finding a reason to comfort herself, the little witch's guilt was finally alleviated a lot.

Back in the Slytherin Common Room, Daphne was playing wizard chess with Millicent Birds. Tom did not interrupt them until they finished playing and Birds' queen was beheaded.

He then took Daphne to a secluded corner and told her what had just happened.

Daphne's face visibly fell, with only her lips pouting high.

Daphne was very regretful at this time. She regretted that she was too proud to show off to Hermione, which led to the accident.

Tom also knew that it seemed unfair to Daphne on the surface. After all, from Daphne's perspective, she paid the real money.

So Tom told Daphne what reward Hermione would have to pay and gave her a choice.

"If you can help me with my homework, I'll go and say no to Hermione."

The girl waved her hands frantically. "Forget it, forget it. Granger can come if she wants. Let her do the homework until we graduate."

She didn't even want to do her own homework. She also had to complete the training task assigned by Tom. If she had to write another one, she would collapse.

In an instant, the dissatisfaction disappeared. Money and Galleons were really not important to the little rich woman. What was important was Tom's attitude.

The fact that Tom rejected Granger for her shows that she holds a higher position in Tom's heart.

After figuring this out, Infuni happily got up from bed again.

After appeasing the biggest financial sponsor, Tom let her continue playing with her roommates, while he returned to the dormitory and started brewing potion.

The other three were in the dormitory and wanted to help, but when they heard that handling potion materials was so difficult, Rosier and Nott became intimidated. Fearing that they would be blamed for damaging Tom's materials, they tactfully left the room, leaving behind a quiet environment.

Zabini took the initiative to stay because he was very interested in alchemy and had a great talent.

After a few mistakes, he started to get the hang of it and processed the potion according to Tom's requirements.

As a reward, Tom would also tell him some tips and knowledge, but whether Zabini could remember them all depended on his luck.

"When cutting moonstone, you must keep the tools dry. Once they come into contact with water, the efficacy of the medicine will be seriously affected."

". "The sleeping beans should be put in when the liquid turns gray-brown. I put them in a little too late for two seconds, and the color of the liquid had already faded. After all, it was my first time making it, so I was still hesitant."

"The eggs of the fire ash snake are used to balance the magic power. The number must not be rigid. The magic wand must be used to sense the speed... OK."

Putting the last ingredient in, Tom drew out his wand and waited for a few minutes until a bottle of clear golden liquid formed.

Tom leaned in and sniffed.

The color and smell are consistent with the description of the energy potion in the book.

I can't say how high the quality of this potion is, but it is definitely above the standard and can be used.

Tom was quite satisfied with his performance, and Shabini admired him even more.

The last communication only proved that Tom had a rich knowledge reserve, while this practical operation proved that Tom's hands-on ability far exceeded his.

I think energy potion is a sixth or fifth grade course?

He heard senior students mention it once last time.

Anyway, it was already a difficult potion.

Unlike the water of life and death, which only required two ingredients, the energy potion required eight ingredients and also involved the step of the wizard using magic to mix the potency.

This was a difficult potion.

One of the important signs of a high-grade medicine.

Next, Tom continued to boil several pots of energy potions and physical potions. His proficiency level increased rapidly, and Sabini also learned a lot.

Soon, another two days passed.

Before Wednesday's Charms class, Tom put the conditions he promised Hermione in front of her.

Daphne also came over, and the two little ones watched curiously.

"A quill?"

It is the most common feather pen, not a feather pen made of any precious feathers.

"This quill can reproduce my handwriting perfectly."

As Tom spoke, he wrote down the names Tom Riddle, Daphne Greengrass, and Hermione Granger on a new piece of parchment.

Then he asked Hermione to write it once with her own quill, and then once with his quill.

The handwriting Hermione wrote with her own quill pen was completely different from Tom's, with a delicate flavor.

When she switched to Tom's quill, the letters she wrote twisted slightly and became exactly like Tom's handwriting.

"How did you do that?" Hermione's eyes widened.

"The imitation spell, and some basic knowledge of alchemy."

Tom didn't think it was anything special; he just spent half a day reading a basic book on alchemy and figured it out.

Hermione was finally relieved and promised to teach her Tom's homework in the future, but there was a condition. If Tom's score was lower than hers in the final exam, then

Write it yourself.

Tom naturally would not refuse this request.

"Hey, Granger... No, Hermione." Daphne suddenly looked at Hermione flatteringly, "Since you have already written for Tom, do you want to write one for me too? I will give you some pocket money.

There are still a lot of them, you can use them to buy a lot of books."

"I don't want to." Hermione ignored Daphne's courtesy, "Tom can teach me magic, but Galleon can't. I don't need your money.

"Hmph, if you don't want to help, then don't help." Daphne pouted, "Tom, I also want a quill like this, with my handwriting."

Without Granger, she still had other little sisters.

Birds and her three roommates each wrote two assignments for themselves, so there was no need to ask Hermione to delete them.

Tom rubbed Daphne's head in annoyance and said, "What are you thinking? If I really give it to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the final exam."

Daphne is the normal appearance of a girl of this age. There are too many temptations that are more important than magic. If she is not allowed to do her homework on her own, she will be ruined in less than half a year.

Seeing Tom's firm attitude, Daphne accepted the reality unhappily.

Professor Flitwick walked into the classroom with brisk steps and stepped onto the raised platform where books were placed.

"Classmates, we are going to learn a new spell today—the simple repair spell..."
