HOGWARTS:I REALLY NOT DARK LORD

Girl, do you know that you said something very dangerous?

Tom had just finished his meal and was about to take a walk by the lake to digest his food when he was blocked by Daphne in the hallway. The moment the girl opened her mouth, he was shocked.

After Daphne finished speaking, she was also stunned, then her face turned red like a bubble teapot and she waved her hands frantically.

"No, that's not what I mean. I mean, can you teach me magic? I also want to become stronger!"

[Damn it! Why did you say what was in your heart?]

[These two requests are so far apart, how did you get it so wrong?]

Two different thoughts appeared in the minds of the boy and girl.

"How can I not agree to such a simple request? You can just train with me in the afternoon."

In order to prevent Daphne from continuing to be embarrassed, Tom decisively agreed.

"Hey, Tom, I know you're the best."

The girl regained her senses, looked up at the boy, then took out a small bag and handed it to him: "Here you go."

"What's this?"

Tom took the bag, opened it and fell silent.

Daphne, you really want to support me, right?

The small bag was cast with a traceless extension spell and was filled with gold Galleons. After a rough count, there were at least thousands of them.

Is it so valuable now?

If he were older

"Tuition fees." Daphne interrupted Tom's fantasy and said as a matter of course: "You are helping me with my studies, isn't it natural for me to pay the tuition fees?"

The idea had only come to her last night when Tom was duelling with the prefects.

Tom is very powerful and knows many spells, and she is a good student who loves to study. You have knowledge and I have money, so you are a match made in heaven.

She was so happy to come up with such a good idea that she didn't fall asleep until very late.

"What tuition do you want from me?"

Tom didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he put the bag in Daphne's hand. "It's not a difficult thing. We are just studying together. We won't really need this money.

From the time he entered school until now, Daphne actually didn't help him at all. He had to handle all his problems by himself.

But not everything has to be measured by results.

From beginning to end, Daphne did not alienate him because of his background and the atmosphere of the college, but supported him clearly.

This attitude is the most valuable.

That's why Tom wouldn't take her money. If it were someone else, he would consider whether to help or not even if they were offered money.

Seeing that she couldn't give away the pocket money she had begged for, Daphne was anxious: "How can you not want it?"

"What I want to learn is not the simple things in the textbooks, but the magic that you are best at. Precious knowledge is priceless. How can you not charge me?"

Tom couldn't help laughing.

Daphne 487's remarks really sounded like Ravenclaw's.

After a lot of persuasion, he finally took the money.

Tom realized that Daphne was just looking for a reason to give him the money, and further refusing would only hurt their relationship.

Damn it, I still can't escape the fate of being a gigolo.

But Tom is indeed short of money now.

Some of the ingredients for the potion Andros mentioned could be obtained from Snape, but the rest would also cost money, and because of the quantity, it would also be a considerable expense.

He was just thinking about how to get some money to spend recently, and then Daphne came.

This money would be considered as a loan from him, and he would pay it back a thousand times to Daphne and Greengrass as a token of his gratitude.

Daphne was also smiling, feeling that she could help Tom and was very happy.

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

After receiving the money, he had to do the job. Tom didn't wait until the afternoon. He took Daphne's hand and went upstairs.

Daphne followed Tom all the way to the eighth floor in a daze, and then followed Tom into the Room of Requirement.

"This is..." Daphne stared at the secret room that suddenly appeared with her eyes wide open.

"I call it the Room of Requirement. Walk back and forth three times in front of the door and the room will become the place you want. But don't make your wish too outrageous, or it will be beyond the capacity of this room."

"Magic is not allowed in the castle, and there are other students on the lawn, so I used this place as a training room.

Daphne suddenly realized: "I was wondering why I couldn't find you sometimes, it turns out you were hiding here."

It would be better if we didn't go find Granger.

Thinking of this, Daphne's smile became even brighter.

Tom felt a little puzzled and didn't know what the rich woman was laughing at. He waved his magic wand and two dummies flew over.

Tom motioned for Daphne to take out her wand, and then continued: "I will not teach you any new spells today. Today's task is to use any attack spell you know on the dummy a hundred times, and then the training will be over.

"Is it that simple?" Daphne blinked, thinking that Tom's expectations of herself were too low.

Tom smiled and said, "Just wait until you can do it first."

"snort."

Feeling looked down upon, Daphne remained silent and planned to prove Tom wrong with practical actions.

"Fainted!"

Daphne had already mastered the most basic attack spell, the stun spell, before going to school. The spell hit the dummy, and the impact force knocked it down, but it immediately bounced up like a tumbler.

"Fainted!"

"Fainted!"

Daphne cast the spell continuously, which worked fine at first, but after more than ten times, the spell suddenly failed.

The girl's face turned pale, and she felt as if she had woken up without getting enough sleep. Her head was dizzy.

"...What's going on? I'm so sleepy..."

"This is a sign of a dramatic consumption of magic power." Tom turned a dummy into a single sofa, helped Daphne sit on it, and took out the chocolates he had prepared long ago.

"Eat something. The consumption of magic power has an all-round impact on the body. You need to replenish your energy."

Daphne really felt her stomach was empty, even though she hadn't finished breakfast for long.

After saying thank you, he ate the whole piece of chocolate in small bites like a little hamster and immediately felt much better.

But it was far from the energetic performance just now.

Tom looked at her with a half-smile: "You can continue now when you have rested enough. I am counting for you. I have successfully cast twelve spells in total."

The girl's face wrinkled immediately, and she asked pitifully: "I was too loud just now, can you speak less, how about fifty?"

"You're still bargaining like that?" Tom was so angry that he laughed. He tapped her forehead and said, "No, at least eighty is required. This is my guess as your current limit. Draining your magic power will be of great benefit to your development, but fifty won't have such an effect.

In fact, Tom doesn't have such a sharp vision now. The one hundred spells he mentioned at the beginning were just an estimate based on his own level.

He just connected the study space and asked Andros to observe Daphne's situation, and finally decided on 80.

As for himself...

Now it can no longer be measured simply by the number of spells, but should be calculated based on the time of full-strength output.

Just from this point, Tom could understand how terrifying Andros was. His magic power was so huge that it was no wonder he could summon a ten-meter-long patronus. Andros' total magic power might be even stronger than Dumbledore's.

"development?"

Daphne bowed her head.

The road is so flat that if you lower your head you can see not only your toes but even your ankles clearly.

"Come on!" The girl stood up immediately with strength coming from nowhere and cast out magic with great momentum.

However, this time the duration was shorter, and the success rate of releasing the spell gradually decreased.

While she was resting, Mu also started his own training.

For the first time, Daphne realized how powerful Tom was.

It was like a spell Gatling gun, firing continuously, and they were not just magic beams for show. The power of each spell was stronger than when she released it with all her strength.

If Tom had shown this kind of strength in the battle with the prefects yesterday, let alone a round-robin battle, even if several people attacked him together, they would not be his match.

Daphne suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

The gap between her and Tom is getting bigger and bigger. Even if she can't compare with Tom in terms of talent, it's not a reason for her to give up on herself.

If we don't work harder, we will have nothing in common in the future and how can we be friends?

So when Tom was resting, Daphne did not slack off, but tried her best to squeeze out her magic power.

The two took turns training from ten in the morning to two in the afternoon, and Daphne finally completed the task of eighty spells.

The consequence is that my legs feel weak when I walk, and I just want to go back and have a good sleep.

Tom had no choice but to help her all the way back from the eighth floor to the lounge, then handed her over to a senior girl and took Fannie back to the dormitory.

The girl looked at Tom with a very strange look.

If both of them were not old enough, she would have started to imagine some restricted scenes in her mind.

What kind of gameplay can stimulate exhaustion...

Tom watched the two of them walk into the girls' dormitory stairs, and then he left the lounge again.

He was going to the Owlery to borrow a school owl and buy some potion ingredients from Diagon Alley to prepare some potions for Finnie to restore her energy and relieve fatigue.

Although repeatedly squeezing out magic power may be uncomfortable now, this training method has unique advantages. It can develop potential and increase the upper limit of magic power.

This upper limit will basically not exceed the level corresponding to the talent, but it can reach the peak state faster than others.

The continuous and boring repetitive casting process is laying the foundation.

Many times, using magic relies on a feeling and the body's instinct to create muscle memory, which is also very helpful for learning other magic in the future.

These techniques are Andros's experience, and are also the methods used by Tom, and Andros is more strict with him.

Diligence can make up for lack of talent. Talented people should be more diligent so that they have the opportunity to fully display their talents. Otherwise, it will be in vain.

And ordinary people...ordinary people who work hard want to surpass other ordinary people, which creates the atmosphere of competition.

Andros has lamented more than once that compared to the ancients' desire for strength, modern wizards live too comfortably.

Although they have such good learning conditions and a systematic magic system, the core strength is not as good as before.

In his eyes, Tom is still a novice wizard, but he can easily defeat today's adult wizards, which would never be so easy in his era.

Even if you can't win, you have to fight with your life and tear a piece of flesh from the enemy.

The holiday time always passed by exceptionally quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was Sunday night, and the invisible prefects of each grade in Slytherin had been selected.

Now a very embarrassing problem arises.

Snape's vision... doesn't seem to be very good.

The fifth grade male and female class leaders, the sixth grade female class leader, all three

The whole team failed and was defeated by ordinary students.

Tom was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Slytherin was full of hidden talents and actually hid so many old...small silver coins.

If he hadn't done this and aroused the ambitions of these students, they might not have been exposed until graduation.

The problem arises.

The class leaders appointed by the school will not be changed at will. Even the dean only has the power to recommend but not to appoint or dismiss. Unless they make a serious mistake, Snape has no reason to replace them.

The invisible prefect and the prefect are not the same person, so who should I listen to?

Finally, Snape decided to implement the principle of strength first. On the surface, the three guys were still prefects, but they were just three puppets who had to obey the orders of the invisible prefect.

This can also be considered a punishment, or a spur.

Everything will be over when they regain the position of invisible prefect.

This trick was quite effective. The faces of the three former class leaders turned green. They had no face to stay in the lounge any longer. After Snape's announcement, they hurriedly left the lounge.

He must be looking for a place to train hard and wait for the challenge of revenge next semester.

The other invisible class leaders are surrounded by a circle of people, and people will unconsciously move towards the center of the circle. In the past, they may not be sure who is the center of a grade, but now... it is natural.

The lounge was filled with joy, except for Malfoy and his two followers who seemed out of place in the atmosphere.

They sat in the corner, and Malfoy looked at Tom who was surrounded with hatred.

I was hung all night and only woke up when I fell to the ground in the morning.

Not to mention the physical pain, what really broke Malfoy down was being humiliated by Tom in public.

He had never suffered such humiliation since he was a child. Even when he was treated coldly because of the duel, he was not so embarrassed.

After waking up and returning to the dormitory, the first thing Malfoy did was to write a letter to his father to complain.

He was going to kick this mudblood out of school and send him back to his Muggle world!

As for whether it can be done, Malfoy thinks there should be no problem.

His father is a school director. As long as all the directors agree, even Dumbledore can remove him!

Judging from the time, his family should have received his letter.

"Invisible prefect? Humph, I'll make it so that you can't even be a student."

Cursing Tom under his breath, Malfoy left the common room with Crabbe and Goyle.

If Snape had not asked all students to show up, he would not have gone out and accepted all those strange looks.

Malfoy Manor, Wiltshire.

Malfoy guessed correctly, his father, Lucius Malfoy, did receive his letter of complaint.

But he was not as furious as he had imagined, rushing directly to the school to question Dumbledore and punish Tom.

On the contrary, Lucius Malfoy's face was pale and his hand holding the letter was shaking.

Just because of the name...Tom Riddle.

Voldemort has always boasted of his pure bloodline, but... whoever believes in this from a pure-blood family is an idiot.

He didn't just appear out of nowhere. He was the best student at Hogwarts and everything can be traced.

Pure-bloods with a little background and good information, who doesn't know that he was brought from an orphanage to the magical world by Dumbledore and eventually became the Dark Lord feared by everyone.

Of course, this was all they knew at most. The feud between Voldemort and the Gaunt family was a deeper secret.

But knowing it doesn't mean exposing it. Besides making Voldemort angry and embarrassed, it will also make those wizards who resist them laugh at them.

A group of purebloods who boast of their bloodline are actually following a Muggle-born orphan?

It will definitely make people laugh out loud.

Therefore, many Death Eaters assume that Voldemort is a pure blood, because only pure blood can lead them. It doesn't matter whether they really think so or not. They need this concept as a righteousness to fight for.

Get greater benefits.

Lucius learned this information from his father.

After so many years, Lucius heard the name again.

Slytherin, gifted, because of humanity.

Could it be...he's back?

Lucius was trembling. He didn't believe that the man was still alive. In order to break the fear in his heart, Lucius decided to go to Dumbledore tomorrow.

If it is confirmed that it is not the Dark Lord, then it will not be too late to seek justice for my son.
