Red Riddle became Head of Slytherin and Potions Professor after Christmas.

Professor Sgollahhorn said he was going to enjoy his retirement, and left the castle before Christmas after several days of farewell banquets in the Slytherin lounge.

When they returned to Hogwarts after the Christmas break, the students learned that they had a Headmaster.

This didn't upset the Slytherin students, after all, the dean had a basilisk as a pet, which was a very glamorous thing. I'm afraid that only the founder, Slytherin, has ever done this. So it doesn't matter if the dean is so young.

Professor Toth Gorachon is a professor who leads Slytherin to a slick philosophy and does not believe that there is an absolute enemy in this world, and that anyone can be a friend, even temporarily, if the conditions are right.

Professor Riddle Jr. was very pleased with this, and he did not make any major changes to Slytherin, but only continued to manage them in the manner of Professor Sgollahhorn. The tradition of having the dean preside over the coterie in the college has also been continued. The only difference is that he only accepts students from the third grade onwards to attend his meetings.

In his third year, he noticed a Muggle-half-breed wizard named Severus Snape. His father was a Muggle and his mother was a witch.

Let little Riddle notice that he is not only talented, this half-breed little wizard has a tough temperament, is extremely self-disciplined, never participates in any fun, and according to his classmates, he has no interest in anything other than attending classes.

It's weird. Little Mr. Riddle remembers that his mother had asked him to go out and play for an hour every day, because Mrs. Riddle believed that only play was a good teacher for a child. Even if this were not the case, any boy under the age of fifteen should love the sun and the grass. If the half-blood wizard had been as fond of reading and learning as he had suggested, he would have gone to Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin.

He is ambitious and has learned enough just so that he can reach the heights he wants early.

It's a lot like Mr. Riddle Jr., who used to think that only magic is important.

And then some routine investigation led Mr. Riddle Jr. to discover other things that had happened to the half-blood wizard, including his father, who liked to beat his wife and children while drunk.

Professor Riddle Jr. didn't ask the half-breed wizard directly, nor did he show any concern for him, because he had important things to do.

One thing he discovered was the safety of underage wizards.

From previous experience, for example, his father, Mr. Riddle the Great, is now a professor of the history of magic at Hogwarts, and even a former careerist. However, he had lived in a Muggle orphanage as a child, which was not a good experience, and Muggle orphanages were not a good choice for young wizards who had lost their parents.

And little Riddle was also oppressed and hurt by powerful wizards during his childhood. He can't deny that what happened in his childhood has affected his life to this day.

- Although he is on good terms with Mr. Big Riddle now, he has been able to express his intolerable hostility in another way.

I have to admit that the little wizard who was hurt couldn't get rid of the shadow of his childhood when he grew up. Like Mr. Big Riddle, like him, or maybe you can add this half-blood little wizard.

He could tell from himself that they were aggressive and sensitive to hostile reactions. As far as he knew, Severus Snape was only in his third year, but he had already found three enemies for himself. By the time he graduates, maybe there will be even more.

It may be because they are always hurt when they are powerless, so they subconsciously wish they had the power to resist. Once this way of thinking becomes a habit, it will affect him for the rest of his life.

His father and him, in addition to liking to occupy the strong side, are not easy to trust others. My father didn't have a good friend in his life, and apart from teaching him professors, only his mother and Headmaster Dumbledore were still by his side. And he, as much as he trusted his mother and Headmaster Dumbledore, had none of his friends who could make him talk to him without any scruples.

From this half-blood little wizard, Red Riddle saw his own shortcomings and deficiencies very rarely. It was a very strange experience for him.

He needed to do something.

Of course, his first visit was Headmaster Dumbledore, an old wizard who had always given him guidance as he grew up and helped him find his way.

"You're right." In the principal's office, accompanied by steaming honey tea, he said a lot of his thoughts. Later, he offered to help these little wizards. Dumbledore had been listening quietly to him, and he agreed to his offer.

"Don't worry, if you need my place, you know, my office is open for you at any time." The old wizard's support gave him no worries.

First of all, the "Prophet Daily" conducted a survey on the current situation of some young wizards' families, except for those who live happily, the current situation of young wizards who have been hurt or lost their families is shocking.

Originally, it was just one or two miserable-looking little wizards as a type, but Mr. Riddle Jr. seemed to be unimpressed, and it turned into an increasingly violent operation that swept the entire wizarding world.

The wizarding world has been at peace for a long time, and in this world, the slightest injustice can cause strong resentment. For example, if someone freezes to death on the streets, it's not so strange in wartime, but in peacetime, people wonder how can he freeze to death on the streets? Why didn't anyone care about him? What does the government do? Didn't he ask for help? Isn't there anyone to help him? Maybe just give him a piece of clothing, or give him a bowl of hot soup, and maybe he won't die.

All sorts of reflections came flooding the entire wizarding world, and they questioned the Ministry of Magic, as well as the conscience and morality of the wizarding world.

In order for everyone to get better and better, it is logical that the wizarding world strongly needs to protect the underage wizards so that they can grow up safely and get the happy life they deserve.

Mr. Riddle Jr.'s Ministry of Magic also has some influence, maybe this shouldn't be in an ordinary school professor, but it's true.

Under his activities, a "Minor Wizard Protection Act" was introduced. After the Ministry of Magic concentrated on some cases of harm to underage young wizards, the wizarding world also reacted accordingly.

First of all, every little wizard was born as a gift from Merlin, especially the wizard population is declining, so every little wizard belongs to the entire wizarding world, and their parents and family members don't really have the right to dispose of them.

In other words, if the Wizard is harmed, then the Ministry of Magic has every reason to temporarily transfer custody of the Wizard. This is not subject to the Wizarding Succession Act and the Wizarding Family Act. That is to say, the little wizard is still a child of a certain wizard family, but only before he becomes an adult, he changes places to eat and sleep. If his parents or relatives have done harm to him, they will only condemn these people's actions, not his family and his surname.

Foster homes quickly emerged.

They are completely obligated and do not have any requirements. Some wizards have a wealthy and good family, so they can temporarily accept these injured young wizards into their family until they reach adulthood.

This solves a gap in the Ministry of Magic, although they have also proposed to set up a wizarding orphanage, but of course it will take a lot of time, and before the Ministry of Magic orphanage can accept so many young wizards, a wizard foster family is a must.

Secondly, it is not up to the young wizard to decide whether he is hurt or not. That is, even if the young wizard refuses to leave the house, or does not consider himself harmed, this is due to the fact that the minor child is blindly obedient to the family and parents, and it may be some kind of evil spell inducing effect, even if they testify that their parents or family members have not harmed them. In this matter, the Ministry of Magic has absolute power, and most of the foster family choices will be left to the young wizard to decide.

Later, the environment in which the young wizard grew up was monitored by the Ministry of Magic. Hogwarts Headmaster Dumbledore provided a little help in this matter, and Hogwarts was known to magically record the name of every student who would enter the school, and they knew it from birth. So, whenever a name comes up, it is the responsibility of the Headmaster of Hogwarts to inform the Ministry of Magic of it.

Like Muggle-born wizards, many of them have magical outbursts at an early age, which is a less pleasant experience for parents who don't know why. In order for Muggle parents to accept it, the Ministry of Magic will guide and educate their parents as necessary after the birth of their children, and if these parents are not comfortable with the young wizard, the Ministry of Magic will take the child away after asking them.

Due to the overwhelming reaction from the wizarding world, the Ministry of Magic passed the bill quickly and began the initial screening process. This, of course, was opposed by some die-hard wizards, and the Ministry of Magic had to introduce another Wizarding Family Intervention Act.

So in his fourth year, Professor Red Riddell saw Severus Snape, who had been sent to the wizard's foster family.

Before the start of the school year, he and his foster caregiver accompanied him to the dean's office. Foster wizards are kept secret, but this is to be reported to the dean.

Professor Riddle Jr. looked at the Foster Care Letter issued by the Ministry of Magic, checked it with his wand, and said to him, "All right, Severus, go back to your dormitory." After the impatient little wizard left, he continued to talk to the foster caregiver for a while.

The Ministry of Magic moves quickly, also thanks to the sparse wizard population. A month earlier, they had discovered that Severus Snape's family environment was not suitable for him to grow up, and as Professor Riddle Jr. had predicted, the young wizard was very reluctant to interfere with his family, and would not leave the house even if his father liked to beat him violently.

The Ministry of Magic could only forcibly take him away.

His mother had been hurt a lot, but she wouldn't divorce or leave her Muggle husband. She thinks he's just a temporary problem and will be fine later. "The foster caregiver is a very loyal wizard, he and his wife have no children, so he has always felt very sorry for these hurt little wizards. They liked Severus very much, and although he was not very talkative, he was very reluctant to cause trouble to others and make people feel pitiful.

"And then?" Little Mr. Riddle was not surprised that he knew at least two of the witches who were so faithful to their lovers.

The wizard sighed helplessly: "As you probably know, the Wizarding Family Intervention Act clearly states that wizards must protect themselves, which is both a right and an obligation, especially for Muggles in a weak position. So the witch had been warned that of course she could continue to live with her husband, but she could not allow herself to be hurt again, or the Ministry of Magic would forcibly take her away as well, and they would judge her that she was not in her mind and treat her. ”

"Well, then she'll at least learn to run." Little Riddle said without the slightest sympathy.

"yes." The wizard agreed, "At least she'll remember to run next time." ”

If she refuses to leave him or resist him, then at least learn to run, at least this is what she can do, otherwise, she will really have a problem.
