HOGWARTS:I REALLY NOT DARK LORD

The day before Halloween, the auditorium was filled with the aroma of roasted pumpkin from the morning. When Tom arrived, he happened to meet Hagrid walking into the auditorium with the super-large pumpkin he cultivated.

Seeing Tom looking at him, Hagrid was stunned for a moment, then he smiled kindly, nodded at Tom, and left.

But the pace of my feet has quickened a lot.

Tom shook his head. It was really a sin for Voldemort to have ruined a name.

Obviously he is a good student with excellent character and academic performance, but he suffers so much prejudice just because he came here earlier.

"Tom, what are you looking at?"

Daphne looked at Tom strangely and suddenly stopped. She stared at the direction where Hagrid left and said in a daze: "You want to eat pumpkin? Pumpkin dishes must be indispensable today."

Tom shook his head. "I don't like pumpkin. It's a little strangely sweet. Oh, except for pumpkin soup."

"I was just looking at Hagrid. His trench coat is made of moleskin. How many moles would you have to kill to make that?"

Daphne didn't care about the moleskin, but she made a mental note that Tom didn't like pumpkin.

I have the impression that Tom has a special liking for meat, especially beef and chicken wings. He eats a lot every time these two dishes are available.

The little witch has collected a lot of Tom's living habits and may know him better than he knows himself.

From now on, she can take good care of Tom until he can't live without her, hehe.

After dinner, Gryffindor and Slytherin students came to the Charms classroom.

Charms class has become the most popular course.

Not to mention Snape, even Slytherin students are afraid of him.

Although Transfiguration and Herbology are also very interesting, one professor is too strict and the difficulty is very high (0, 1, 3), and the other requires hard work and is often covered in mud.

He doesn't look like a wizard, but more like a farmer.

The spells class is still interesting. Professor Flitwick is humorous and tolerant to young wizards. The most important thing is that there are opportunities to practice and new spells can be learned frequently.

What, you said Defense Against the Dark Arts?

Get out of here, we are competing with professors, not idlers.

Quirrell has successfully disappointed everyone in his career. Many people treat this class as their senior year. Students are already wondering why Quirrell lost his job.

However, most people speculated that they were fired because they were too incompetent or encountered some unknown risks.

No one could imagine that Quirrell would be a bad person or do anything illegal.

From this perspective, his disguise was actually quite successful.

Back to the Charms class, it's here that makes everyone excited.

Professor Flitwick announced early in the class that he thought the students had enough experience to try making objects fly.

The students watched him make Neville's toad Rifle fly all over the classroom, and they couldn't wait to try it.

Later, Professor Flitwick began to group students in pairs. He was probably the only teacher who did not group students according to colleges.

Hermione was strangely grouped with Daphne, while Tom's teammate was Neville.

Maybe... Professor Flitwick wants Tom to take care of this little brother?

"Riddle."

Neville greeted him timidly. A poor student like him always has a natural fear of the top students.

But Neville envied Tom, not because of his grades, but because he envied the fact that he could treat Snape with a normal attitude, unlike him, who would become weak at the sight of Snape.

Tom nodded friendly to Neville and continued to listen to Professor Flitwick's lecture.

"Don't forget the wrist-shaking action you learned before. Pay attention to the strength. Using too much force or too little amplitude will cause the spell to fail."

"Swing and shake.

Remember, swing and shake.

There should be a pause in between.

It is full of rhythm.

At the same time, the clarity of the spell is also very important.

Don't be like the wizard Baruffio.

He said 'F' instead of 's' and found himself lying on the ground with a wild animal standing on his chest."

After saying this, Professor Flitwick felt bad.

Because he saw eagerness to try in the eyes of many students.

Naughty kids are like this. If you ask them to do something, they may just ignore it. But if you tell them not to do something, they will become more interested.

Professor Flitwick repeatedly emphasized the tragic scene in which the wizard Baruffio had half of his bones broken by the frightened cow and was almost turned into a pulp. Only when he saw that the students were becoming frightened did he breathe a sigh of relief.

After slowing down the spell and demonstrating it twice, Professor Liwei allowed the students to start practicing.

"WingardiumLeviosa!"

Tom was quick-witted and quick-handed. Before the other little wizards could cast spells, he successfully made the feathers in front of him float up, swaying as if they were dancing a tango.

"Excellent Levitation Charm, two points for Slytherin."

Hermione glared at Tom and began to cast a spell angrily.

Professor Flitwick was no longer surprised by Tom's performance. The fact that he succeeded so easily showed that Tom had mastered the spell before.

But this did not affect his praise.

It is a good thing for students to surpass their teachers. Even if they are talented, they should be encouraged to do so. After all, Tom has worked hard to study and this is the reward he deserves.

This extra point has increased from 10.5 points at the beginning to 1.2 points now.

There is no other way but to give him an appropriate reward. Otherwise, if Tom continues to do this, the academy will be in suspense.

And Hermione is actually the biggest obstacle for Tom to earn credits.

The two of them have to compete for extra points every time, the quicker the better.

In fact, if Tom asked Hermione for help, Hermione might agree to his request and stop competing, but there was no need for that.

If you need others to give in to you even for such a small matter, then you are really cheating in vain.

The main source of credits is still his own accumulation of knowledge, not the little things here.

After Tom succeeded, Hermione and Daphne also succeeded in casting the spell, as they had already mastered the spell.

Seeing three people succeed at once, the other little wizards scratched their heads in anxiety.

Professor Flitwick clearly demonstrated and explained it, but why did it go wrong when it came to me?

Harry and Seamus waved and shook the feathers, but they remained motionless, so Seamus used more force in anger.

Bang---!

The feather caught fire and burned up in an instant, leaving Seamus with a black face.

Professor Flitwick held his forehead with his hand. This Seamus was simply his nemesis. He had damaged countless teaching aids since the beginning of the school year. Last time, he almost burned his eyebrows off.

Why do all spells cause explosions when they fall into Seamus' hands?

He doesn't understand.

Not to mention him, even Tom had opened the semester space several times in Charms and Transfiguration classes to let Andros see what was special about Seamus [Andros was stunned when he saw it.

He really couldn't imagine how a Transfiguration spell could fail and turn into an explosion spell.

"It moved, it moved!" Ronald shouted in surprise. Professor Flitwick looked over and quickly waved his wand to close the window.

"Mr. Weasley, it wasn't your spell that worked, it was just a gust of wind that came in."

The whole class burst into laughter and Ronald's face turned red.

"Longbottom, you should try it too."

Seeing that Neville hadn't taken any action, Tom urged him, "I can point out any problems you have."

"Oh, oh, okay."

Neville was flattered to see that Tom was willing to help him. He quickly waved his wand and chanted a spell, but there was no response and it was done in one go.

Tom shook his head helplessly, "The spell was recited clearly, but the pause was wrong."

"Wingar~diumLeviosa!"

"The pauses must be obvious. Don't be afraid of reading slowly, just be afraid of not having any distinction. Also, the last word should be in an upward tone, with a sense of progression and upward movement."

Tom explained it in detail and Neville understood it, but when he put it into practice it was not what he wanted.

He tried another method and asked Neville to sing the spell as if it were lyrics. This trick worked for Neville. The feather jumped, but ultimately did not float up.

This was enough to excite Neville.

Tom frowned and said, "Longbottom, did you buy this wand from Ollivander's?"

Neville was startled, and stammered with a somewhat sad expression: "This... this is my father's wand. My grandmother wanted me to be a good wizard like my father, so she let me use this wand."

"No wonder I felt it was inconsistent. Tom suddenly realized that when he saw Neville casting a spell, his wand was actually trembling slightly, as if it was about to escape the control of its owner, which led to the failure of his magic.

"I suggest you change your wand." Tom said bluntly: "You are slow in learning spells and have a bad memory. Coupled with a wand that doesn't obey you, to be honest, your grandmother is harming you."

"To become an excellent wizard, you don't rely on these so-called meaningful souvenirs, but on real skills."

Tom didn't know what Neville's grandmother was thinking. The family was not short of money. Buying a wand was nothing to the Longbottom family.

We must pin our hopes on an illusory object. Could it be that by using this wand, Neville would be able to become an elite Auror like his father?

That's really blinding...

Although it's not allowed to talk too much with a simple person, Tom just wanted to say that it's Neville's business whether to listen or not, as long as he can understand his own thoughts.

Neville lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

On the other side, a conflict suddenly broke out with Ronald.

Ronald waved his arms like he was turning a windmill——"Wingardium Leviosa!"

After trying several times without success, Hermione, who was sitting across the table, couldn't help but remind him: "Your movements are wrong, and you don't have any emotion when you recite the spell. It's a miracle that it will work."

After that, he gave Ronald a demonstration.

"That's amazing!" Ronald glared at her angrily, turned his head and continued swinging the windmill.

By the time the get out of class was almost over, his mentality had collapsed.

"No wonder everyone can't stand her. To be honest, she definitely doesn't have any friends."

Although Ronald didn't shout loudly, he didn't lower his voice deliberately, and Hermione's face turned pale.

Daphne, who had been silent the whole time, frowned and looked at him sideways: "Weasley, is it your family's education that allows you to slander others behind their backs at will?"

"No, you said it to my face, that's even more despicable."

"I just can't imagine a pureblood like you appearing."

Hermione looked at Daphne in disbelief, having never expected that she would stand up for herself.

"None of your business!" Ronald was caught red-faced and stiff-necked as he retorted, "It's not your place as a Slytherin to judge what kind of person I am!"

Daphne's expression was even more disdainful, which reminded Harry of the way Malfoy looked at Ronald. He couldn't imagine that Daphne, who was usually as docile as a doll beside Tom, would actually have such a side.

"What kind of person are you and I have nothing to do with you?"

Relationship, but you are evaluating my friend, so I can naturally evaluate you.

"Why? Are you unhappy when I tell you the truth?"

"According to Tom…people like you have double standards.

"You are rude, crude, and have no talent... Compared to your brothers, you are far behind."

puff---!

Ronald almost vomited blood, this was definitely true damage plus a critical hit.

What he hated most was being compared with his other brothers, because it only made him look more incompetent, not like Weasley's biological son, but like he was picked up.

The eldest brother Bill is the student union president, the second brother Charlie is the Quidditch captain and student union president, and the third brother Percy is a prefect. If he continues to develop at this pace, he will most likely become the president.

The twin brothers are not that dazzling, but their popularity is almost the best among the Weasleys, and their words are more effective in Gryffindor than Percy.

And he himself...isn't he a waste or something?

Just then the bell rang for the end of get out of class. Ronald picked up his textbooks and rushed out, ignoring Harry's attempts to stop him.

Hermione followed Daphne out of the classroom, hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Thank you."

"Thank me for what."

Daphne didn't look at her, and walked through the crowd to find Tom, "I just can't stand Weasley's jealousy of others because of his own incompetence, it has nothing to do with you.

"

Hermione said seriously: "No matter what, you helped me vent my anger.

"It was just by the way, don't think too much about it.'"

"So what you said just now...we are friends, were we also lying to them?" Hermione suddenly became nervous and asked tentatively.

"You're talking about this..." Daphne's eyes wandered, "For Tom's sake... you can just be my friend."

Hermione's depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

By the time the two found Tom going out the back door, Hermione had a smile on her face.

Tom raised his eyebrows: "Why does it feel like... your relationship has suddenly improved?"

In the past, when these two people walked together, he had to be between them, but now they walk shoulder to shoulder, just short of holding hands.

"Tom, you don't know.

In the face of the beauty trap, Daphne immediately abandoned her new sister, skipped to Tom and told him what had just happened.

Tom frowned.

With this butterfly around, the relationship between Hermione and Ronald Harry has actually become very distant, and now he is still calling her Potter Weasley, but unexpectedly the plot still happened.

He glanced at Hermione's condition.

The little witch had a ruddy complexion, her eyes were not red, and there was a smile on the corners of her mouth. It was obvious that she was not affected by Ronald's words, and it was even less likely that she would run to the ladies' room and cry for an entire afternoon.

This was greatly appreciated by Daphne.

"Well done, Daphne." Tom patted Daphne's head as a reward, and the girl smiled with her eyes narrowed.
