Chapter 43: ch-43
After confirmation, Tom could be sure that this guy was indeed a potion genius.
He succeeded in refining the high-level magic potion, the Water of Life and Death, for the first time, and it was quite effective. He just dropped two drops of it into the cup of tea.
The idea of using the water of life and death as medicine was actually given to him by Tom.
Snape's questions in the first Potions class made Zabini remember this potion, and then he became interested in it.
After consulting the information and collecting the materials, I started to work.
It took him two days of hiding in the boys' bathroom to complete the brewing of the potion - a very flavorful potion, which he ended up enjoying himself.
"You really impressed me, Blaise." Tom put down his teacup and sighed, "Based on your talent in potions, bloodline and family background are no longer important. Sooner or later, you will earn respect on your own."
Tom's praise was like a bucket of cool water poured down on a hot summer day, making Shabini feel extremely refreshed.
He might feel proud if others praise him, but he would never feel such pleasure.
But this is Tom who beat him three or four times
The recognition of the enemy is the best affirmation, this statement has been fully confirmed.
No, Riddle is not his enemy now, he is his elder brother!
Zabini lowered his eyebrows and said: "Riddle, I was ignorant before. From now on, I will never think of revenge again. It was my first day that I spoke wildly. It's my fault."
"Good awareness." Tom stood up and patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Notkrozier, "What about you guys?"
The two shook their heads frantically, "We won't dare to do it again."
"Very good, hand over your pocket money."
"....."
Another thirty Galleons came in. Tom put the money away and wanted to continue reading his book.
But to his surprise, Shabini actually approached him to talk, and the other two also came over.
There had never been such a situation before. He was the one who ordered the three people to do something, and there had never been any such casual communication.
Since they took the initiative to show their friendship, Tom didn't care whether they were sincere or not, and just took over the conversation naturally.
Sabini talked about the problems he encountered when refining the water of life and death, and Tom also gave an answer. After he finished speaking, he actually saw a hint of admiration in this guy's eyes?
Rozier and Knott were a little envious.
The two of them were talking about high-end topics that they couldn't understand. Before, the three of them were beaten together, but now the sense of gap appeared.
Thanks to Tom's appreciation, Shabini's status in this dormitory was unconsciously higher than the other two.
This is how classes are created inadvertently. The person at the top holds the power of domination, and whoever he favors can surpass others.
The next morning, Zabini followed Tom like a follower, and the other two followed closely behind, causing many Slytherin snakes to look at him sideways.
It was not until Daphne glared at them that the three of them left reluctantly.
After helping Daphne finish her homework, Tom went to the library again to continue entering books into the study space. When he arrived, he found that Hermione was there too, waving at him, motioning him to come over.
When Tom sat down, the little witch couldn't wait to whisper, "I forgot to ask you yesterday. You suddenly appeared in front of me that night, as if you were invisible. Was it the effect of magic?"
"Disillusionment Charm." Avoiding Madam Pince's gaze, Tom and Hermione whispered in each other's ears: "An invisibility spell that changes the light."
"Where did you learn that?"
"It's on the innermost bookshelf, 'Advanced Practical Spells'. It's also in the fifth grade textbook."
Hermione didn't hesitate for a moment, ran over to get the book Tom mentioned, and began to read it attentively.
After a moment, Tom nudged the little witch with his elbow, and Hermione looked over with a frown.
"Have Harry and Ronald decided on the idea I proposed yesterday?"
Hermione's eyes became alert: "Tom, I still don't understand what you are going to do. There must be something fishy here."
"How could you wrongly accuse me?" Tom said, "I... I only gave advice to Harry and the others for your sake."
"We are good friends. Even if we are from different schools, it won't affect our relationship."
Tom originally wanted to use the reputation of the academy to guarantee himself, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that Slytherin really had no credibility at all, and saying it out loud would only make people more suspicious.
So I can only play the emotional card.
Miss Granger's cheeks flushed after hearing these sweet words. She pretended to be angry and hit Tom twice with her little fist.
"I don't believe you, you big bad guy."
"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want." Tom grabbed Hermione's soft little hand and gently put it back.
"I'm just curious, just asking."
Hermione had no choice but to whisper, "When I left the house, I saw Potter and Weasley go find the twins. Weasley was beaming with joy. I guess he did what you asked."
....
Gryffindor.
A group of little lions surrounded Ronald and Harry. In order to let more people see him, Ronald stood on the sofa, spitting everywhere.
"The shameless Malfoy took the initiative to challenge me to a duel just because Harry beat him in flying class!"
"He flies amazingly, and... ahem, you can ask Wood about the details, but Malfoy was so angry because he felt he had lost face that he came to Harry. Many people should have seen him coming, right?"
Several boys nodded vigorously. "I remember that he came here with two fat guys on Thursday. He left after saying something to you guys."
"Yes, now we have witnesses."
Ronald was even more excited. "But he didn't show up that night! Harry and I waited for half an hour, and it was Filch and his cat who showed up!"
Ronald kicked Harry, who had remained silent.
Harry forced himself to look grief-stricken and jumped onto the sofa. "Ronald told me that wizard duels are very sacred battles, especially for purebloods like Malfoy, who care deeply about the honor of their family."
"If it was any other reason, I would never be fooled into going on a night tour."
"But this was a challenge to a duel from one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families, and he actually...actually didn't come?"
"Really…really…"
Harry hesitated for a long time and suddenly forgot the words.
Fortunately, the twins are here to ensure he doesn't get bored.
"People's hearts have changed and the world is in decline!"
