"Humph!"

The two went toe-to-toe, and the tower became colder, with layers of black frost forming on the walls, and gradually even tiny snowflakes began to fall.

Seeing the tension between the two teachers, Hermione couldn't stand it, even though she still couldn't understand what they were saying.

When the hail fell from the tower, she finally couldn't hold back and quietly came to the headmaster's side.

"Headmaster, the teacher seems to be about to fight, go and persuade him!"

Lin Zhengyang pulled little Hermione by hand, stuffed her with a thick parchment bag, and instructed:

"This year I was in a hurry, and I didn't have a computer ready, so I could only send letters by burning them."

Burn letters?

Isn't that a custom to sacrifice the dead?

"That's right."

Hermione, feeling ashamed of being seen through her mind, ran aside in anger and set the entire paper bag on fire with her wand.

Then she saw a thick stack of notices tied with rubber bands, and the flames turned an ominous green when they stained them.

In the flames, the notices seemed to melt, flowing, transforming into a kind of shiny translucent card, and then vanishing little by little.

"The notice will appear in a safe place, such as a school bag, at the head of the bed, or in the pages of the book, in short, it will ensure that the admitted person can see it in time."

Lin Zhengyang was impatient to fill in the admission notices one by one, so he simply used magic to let the roster fill in by himself, except for the name and address, the others were completely the same.

"The Ministry of Magic has traces, and they are attached to wands, and every wand sold in a regular wand shop must be registered and wrapped with traces, which is one of their means of monitoring underage wizards."

"Traces are very sensitive, but also accurate, and often produce false positives, so that when you have an adult wizard around you, they can't tell who is using the magic."

"Hogwarts also has special magic, which can filter out awakened young wizards and automatically enter the student roster."

"When a new young wizard goes to the Hogwarts branch for the first time, he is considered to have completed an entrance ceremony and signed a contract with the school to officially become a student, which is a very ingenious idea, a very creative magic."

Lin Zhengyang ignored the two teachers of the Cold War over there and told Hermione his thoughts.

"I choose students here, I don't need them to awaken their magic on their own, I just need them to have a little bit of it."

"That's luck, in this parlance, fate and luck."

"Because it's the first time, I pick a student, and there are no requirements, as long as I can get his name at random, and he is not too old, they can enroll."

"What if someone refuses?"

This is a big problem, after all, the clock tower is just a new school, and it might be considered a liar.

"That's not the luck."

There was silence on the field.

Bundles of letters were burned, but there was no smoke at all, only a little snowflake falling.

"Transfer application, is something wrong with Hogwarts? It seems that Voldemort still released the basilisk, and Dumbledore took a fancy to him. It's no wonder that the old man likes people as talented as him the most. ”

"Speaking of Hogwarts history, there are not many people who can surpass little Tom at this age."

Shaking the letter in his hand, Lin Zhengyang seemed to be smiling, with an inexplicable sarcasm.

"Will you accept him?"

Hermione asked nervously.

Tom Riddle wasn't the Dark Lord yet, but he wasn't that easy to get along with.

Past experiences have put a lot of psychological pressure on her.

"Accept? Of course not! ”

Lin Zhengyang returned to the road categorically.

"Why? He is so good, he must add glory to the school! ”

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little curious...... Who would refuse such a gifted student? Just because he might become a dark wizard in the future?

Lin Zhengyang seemed to be able to see through Hermione's heart, and patiently explained to her.

"I certainly don't judge a person because of a mistake that he hasn't made yet...... In fact, anyone can become Voldemort or the Dark Lord, as you should know as you often travel through parallel worlds. ”

Hermione nodded heavily.

She has seen blackened Ron and Harry compete for the Dark Lord throne, Dumbledore is the biggest mastermind, Grindelwald resurrects to launch a magical revolution, the invasion of the Elder Evil Gods and other versions of the Harry Potter world.

In these worlds, each one is different.

Even her, Hermione, from different worlds, wasn't exactly the same.

A little Hermione, married into a pure-blood family, a little bit a Minister of Magic, some an Arcanist, and a little more weird Hermione herself is a creator......

Tom Riddle doesn't have to be Voldemort, and Voldemort doesn't have to be the Dark Lord, everything is uncertain.

Judging by what is possible in the future, anyone has the potential to become the Dark Lord.

"The reason I really rejected him was that he didn't defend his alma mater."

"The initial opening of the secret room and the release of the basilisk can be understood as manslaughter, and it can be said that he single-handedly caused a major crisis at Hogwarts."

Hermione didn't wonder how the young headmaster in front of her knew this.

In just half a month of getting along, she had determined that the principal, including the teachers, were all visitors from another world, just like the ones she had met on her previous journeys.

"When he left the orphanage that disgusted him and came to the school, it became half his home, so to speak. However, after he did these things, he didn't find a way to solve the mess he left behind, but thought about changing schools. ”

"From here, I don't think he loves his alma mater enough."

"Hogwarts is where he first grew up, and it's where he builds his confidence, and the turning point in his life has a different meaning. Even so, he just said he would go......"

"There's no way the clock tower can give him more ......"

"You see, if you don't care for Hogwarts, how can you expect him to maintain the clock tower? That's what a man he is! ”

Indeed, from this point of view, the reasons for rejecting him are quite strong.

……

"What? He actually rejected me! ”

Tom Riddle could hardly believe it when he received the news.

He writes his resume beautifully.

Every subject is excellent, and the president of the student council is the first grade in the school every year, and has been highly praised by many professors......

He even attached his papers from previous years, as well as the awards he received.

He is so good, but he was rejected?!

"Someone turned me down?"

Tom looked at the reply carefully.

It is written very vaguely and tactfully, but the meaning of rejection is obvious.

You are so good, our school is too small to accept wow!

"Is that old man Dumbledore doing the trick?"

If you think about it carefully, in the school, among all the professors, he is the only one who has the motivation and the strength to prevent him from changing schools.

Is a little-known new school of witchcraft and wizardry willing to offend a powerful wizard who defeated the Dark Lord Grindelwald for the sake of a student like him, who seems to be quite talented?

Tom thinks the answer is obvious.

"yes, he certainly wouldn't want to let me out of his sight...... Damn old glass! ”

Angrily crumpling the letter, the handsome student council president's fingers dug into his palm, leaving a few blood marks.

"I won't give in......"

As the student president, I have a lot of opportunities to deal with the vice principal.

But each time, Dumbledore would look at him with an ambiguous, chilling look and smile and ask him for some strange drinks.

The quick-witted Tom Riddle saw something wrong and politely declined.

But that's not the end, and finally one day, the handsome student council president leaves tears in humiliation and vows revenge by Slytherin's name.

When he returned, he immediately studied potions frantically, and soon showed his extraordinary talent - under the strong sense of crisis brought by an old glass.

Slughorn, professor of Potions and head of Slytherin, loved to socialize famous and powerful people, and he founded the Slug Club at Hogwarts, whose members were all young wizards and wizards with extraordinary backgrounds, and Slughorn always got benefits and benefits from his protégés.

In order to impress the professor, Tom spent a lot of effort to gather the dean's preferences, and then did what he liked, and finally got his favor, and became a professional in the field of Potions in just two years.

From then on, he could drink any of the drinks that the old glass had entertained him every time without changing his face, and for this reason he became obsessed with Potions.

It was because of these experiences that Tom learned about Horcruxes by chance.

During a conversation, Slughorn revealed the secret of eternal life, which aroused evil thoughts in the young Voldemort's heart, and it was Slughorn who told Voldemort about the existence and function of the Horcrux.

It was almost a turning point among Tom's people.

If Tom hadn't gone crazy about Potions and maybe wouldn't have been able to impress Slughorn without that aphrodisiac-infused drink, then he wouldn't have gotten carried away talking about Horcruxes, and he wouldn't have the second Dark Lord of the Seven Horcruxes and his Death Eaters......

The cause is a drink, and the promoter is two people, and it can be said that these two people are mainly responsible for this.

"Chairman, Professor Dumbledore told you to come to his office at nine o'clock in the evening."

A Slytherin student enters the common room and brings a message to the student council president

"Quack—"

With his teeth almost crushed, Tom blushed and almost ate the fourth-year Slytherin student in front of him.

"What did the professor say—didn't—have?"

The frightened fourth-year Slytherin student stammered and replied:

"Okay, it seems to be talking about the student council, the Ministry of Magic has asked some students, go, do an investigation."

After saying that, the student didn't dare to stay any longer, stumbled out and fell around the corner.

"The! Die! ”

Enraged, Tom blew up the common room, but soon Professor Dumbledore was seen taking him......
