"Voldemort, you're really despicable."

Gretel's eyes were obsessed, but it didn't prevent him from complaining wildly in his heart.

Tom Riddle is definitely a genius.

On his own, it only took more than ten years.

Not only was he able to confront Dumbledore, but he also developed a Death Eater organization that put everyone in the wizarding world at risk.

In the end, even after his death, people did not dare to call him by his first name.

It is even said that if it weren't for that counterattack, it's really hard to say who is in charge of the magic world now.

It is true that in terms of personal strength alone, Voldemort is probably not as good as Dumbledore, who has been immersed in magic for many years.

It is even said that from the existing magic system alone, Voldemort will still be beaten by Dumbledore.

However, judging from today's lecture, Gretel guessed how Voldemort would become stronger.

That is, starting with the configuration of magic, supplemented by those powerful but unstable ancient magic, Voldemort finally succeeded in finding another way.

Compared to those who grew up in the wizarding world, Voldemort lacked the necessary common sense.

But that's not a bad thing, Voldemort is the same as Gretel.

Although it lacks the life experience of the wizarding world, it also lacks the kind of thinking imprisonment that has been passed down from generation to generation in the bones of wizards.

After more than a month, Glitter discovered that the information was deduced from the records of ancient documents and the words of young wizards.

In the existing system of magic, whenever ancient magic is mentioned, danger is generally mentioned.

The development of ancient wizards was very barbaric, because of the lack of unified cognition, most of the spells they used were deduced by themselves.

Studying configurations or modifications was commonplace in those days.

And what is even more barbaric is that the idea is put into practice very boldly first, and then the results are deduced backwards.

A review of all the documented literature reveals that the mortality rate of research wizards was much higher than the average of other wizards of the same era.

This has created a kind of thinking that has been formed since the era of barbaric development: research is about equal to death and injury.

Later, because of the fear of ordinary people for wizards, they began to spontaneously form an organization to persecute wizards.

The wizards who had been scattered and lived alone gradually came together.

But whether it is a Muggle or a wizard, since they are human, they definitely cannot go against their nature of tending to be safe.

Those dangerous spells that could cause harm to oneself are gradually being abandoned.

Only the safe and practical spells have survived in the records.

As a result, the exploration of magical configurations became niche, and even gradually disappeared over time.

Niche, dangerous, and unknown results, under the interference of these keywords, there will only be fewer and fewer wizards who devote themselves to the study of magic.

The submission of the individual to the whole is never new.

Coupled with the fact that there are enough safe spells that can already ensure that wizards can protect themselves and even live comfortably, no one wants to risk research.

Voldemort was different, he was ambitious, and from the moment he saw the magic of magic, his heart couldn't help but get excited.

The danger, for him, is not so much an obstruction as an accelerant.

Reproducing the path of ancient wizards was a broad road to strength for Voldemort at that time.

——

In a way, Dumbledore's assessment was indeed correct.

Gretel and Voldemort are indeed the same kind of people.

The difference is that Voldemort's ambition is to reign supreme in the wizarding world.

Gretel's idea is to use magic to build his own business empire, which will span wizards and Muggles.

No one knows the deepest sense of crisis in Gretel's heart, because no one has seen a new era that can be called rapid in just a few years.

The original Dark Lord, Grindelwald, may have seen the potential of Muggles, so he did everything to want wizards to rule over humanity.

As for the second generation, Voldemort, who is now talking on stage, is not a qualified Dark Lord at all in Gretel's opinion.

Whether it is in terms of emotional intelligence or purpose, he cannot be regarded as the Dark Lord.

At best, he is a research genius who has gone astray, and a zero-EQ person who wants to be crowned the king of wizards by a reign of terror.

Glitter also roughly understood why Voldemort was pestering him.

In all fairness, anyone who has been alone on a road destined to be lonely, has been walking in the dark for decades, and suddenly sees a person who is suspected to be of the same kind, he can't help but step forward to express his closeness.

In Voldemort's eyes, Glitter was the Tom II who lived at Hogwarts.

The same talent, the same background in the welfare home, and finally the same choice of destined loneliness.

The only difference from him is that he chooses to develop silently in secret.

Gretel chose not to shy away from asking all those who were better than him.

……

"Mr. Gretel, is there anything you don't understand about what I just said?" Quirrell (Voldemort) gracefully put away his wand and cast an inquiring glance at Gretel.

Even though he knew that it was Voldemort himself who was talking in front of him, Glitter still couldn't suppress his desire to learn.

"Professor, the nodes of the magic configuration are generally used to guide the operation of the magic power and ensure the stability of the spell.

The displacement of the node usually invalidates the spell, or simply causes a mana hedge explosion as a result, how do you determine that a symmetrical third node can move three-quarters of an inch vertically? ”

Hearing this question, the appreciation in Voldemort's eyes was almost imminent, he really didn't expect that Glitter would be so profound in the study of magical configurations.

You must know that it was he who began to conduct exploratory research on the node in the year when he was about to graduate.

He thought it would be great if Gretel could now study the superposition of configurations.

"You can go to the library to store the shelves of ancient history, and consult the documents of the third century AD, including the "Summary of the Investigation into the Abnormal Magical Riot in Campshire", which mentions the configuration of the armor charm."

"Then Professor, and here, after the transformation, the seventh node will coincide with the fifteenth node, which will make the direction of the magic run uncertain, how did you solve this?" Glitter quickly jotted down the reply and asked again.

"This question can be found in The Dangers of Curses Out of Control, written by Danny Seth, in 107 AD."

The two of them asked and answered each other tacitly, and they didn't have time to pay attention to the other dizzy little wizards.

It wasn't until the end of the class time that the eaglets and little snakes in the clouds were liberated.

"Mr. Mike Gretel, I know you didn't have a class on Friday morning, and I don't know if you'd like to come to my office, and we can talk about the transformation and combination of the magic configurations."

Through Quirrell's body, Voldemort laughed and groaned at the invitation.

"No, Professor, my roommate and I are going to Professor Flitwick for tutoring on Friday morning, and you know, our dean always turns away students from coming."

Glitter decisively refused, although he coveted the research results in Voldemort's hands, but he would never gamble with his own life.

Only Terry glanced at Gretel suspiciously, and scolded in his heart, "When did you receive counseling with me, you obviously went to eat and drink." ”

——

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

When Gretel walked into the Transfiguration classroom, it felt like she had walked into a wet market.

Before Professor McGonagall arrived, the eaglets somehow got into a fight with the lion cubs.

Terry took the lead in front of the eaglets and sprayed at the lion cubs in front of him.

As a first-year wizard, when Glitter entered the classroom, he naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing that Greet was also coming, Terry seemed to have found a backer, hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and dragged Gretel over.

"Mike, tell them about what Professor Quirrell said in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and the Gryffindor guys are going to me off.

Professor Quirrell is a good professor, but they say that a professor is a straw bag, and as a Ravenclaw, I would never allow anyone to be so disrespectful to a knowledgeable professor. ”

With that, Terry briefly explained to Gretel what had just happened.

It turned out that when Gretel wasn't here, the eaglets were exchanging with each other about the armor and protective armor that Voldemort had taught in the morning.

When the Gryffindors heard it, they came over curiously.

In the beginning, everything was still harmonious, one side was discussing, and the other side was listening attentively.

Until a sentence popped out of the mouth of a certain eaglet, "You're not right, I remember what Professor Quirrell said was that the main magic route of the armor amulet still preferentially runs on the transformed amulet configuration."

The acceleration configuration is to ensure the protection of the body, so that you can have a certain ability to dodge.

If you give priority to the supply of the acceleration configuration according to your understanding, although you can dodge faster, the original protective function of the armor will be greatly weakened.

So what's the point of casting Armor Protection•Change? Wouldn't it be more mana to use the Acceleration Charm directly? ”

As the eaglets argued, the Gryffindors realized that the Quirrell in the eaglet's mouth was none other than Quirinus Quirrell from the Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

The little lions who understood it instantly exploded.

If Ravenclaw felt that ignorance was the greatest original sin of wizards, then cowardice in Gryffindor was the first of all sins.

Professor Quirrell, who usually looks cowardly at all times, seems to Gryffindor as a rabbit who is so timid that he can be scared to death by a gust of wind.

I don't know what the brain circuits think, and the little lions instantly feel that the eaglets, who have always looked down on them, are ready to join forces to trick their group of Gryffindors.

They also took out the events of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class one by one as evidence to refute the eaglets' clumsy acting skills.

If we could turn back the clock to last week, Crow would certainly agree with Gryffindor.

After all, at that time, the Defence Against the Dark Arts class had not yet been substituted by Professor Tom Riddle.

But this week, since the substitute teaching was launched, what was told had already conquered this group of knowledge-worshipping eaglets.

In order to save the image of the professor and maintain the dignity of knowledge, the indisputable eaglets launched a fearless charge towards the lion cub under the leadership of Terry.

Anyway, the intelligence committees of the two sides are so different that no one can convince anyone.

Even after a certain eaglet popped out of the mouth, if you don't believe it, you can ask Slytherin, the war developed from a clash of public opinion to a class contradiction.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the whole thing, Gretel only felt that it was ridiculous.

But he wasn't going to join the fight, after all, neither he nor Voldemort cared about Quirrell's reputation.

Not even Quirrell himself didn't necessarily care.

The war was a no-brainer for both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

After all, the cognitions of both sides are different, the little lions have never seen Voldemort substitute teaching, and the eaglets don't know that the class is already a substitute professor.

Therefore, the arguments between the two sides can never reach a consensus.

Unless dear Professor Tom Riddle is willing to open his heart to Gryffindor for a vivid presentation.

But apparently impossible.

Not to mention the enmity between Gryffindor and the Slytherins he was born in.

Speaking of the savior Harry alone, it is impossible for Voldemort to come out as a substitute teacher.

Although he did not participate, he could not sit back and watch the Gripen War develop into a full-fledged martial arts.

Glitter had no choice but to avoid the important and give the little lions the newly learned armor and body protection.

Anyway, in a few months, Dumbledore will close the net, and Quirrell will be history by then.

Like all Defence Against the Dark Arts professors who don't make it to their second year, they disappear into the memory of a kind of student.

When Professor McGonagall arrived in the classroom, she was greeted by a harmonious scene of teaching.

Gretel stood on the podium and taught seriously, while the eaglet and lion cub sat down and studied carefully, and from time to time someone asked questions.

This scene of harmony and friendship made Professor McGonagall praise Gretel fiercely, and by the way, earned Ravenclaw valuable House Cup points.

——

"Mr. Gretel, please come with me to the office, I need to ask you something."

Seeing that Glitter was captured by the professor again, Terry blended into the other Kitty Hawk's team without looking back.

After all, from the beginning of the school year, it has long been a practice for professors to stay in the classroom.

It would even be strange if any professor didn't leave Gretel behind.

And when he returned to the tower that day, a bunch of people who had nothing to do would gather around to discuss whether Gretel had made a mistake and finally disliked the professor.

I've been to so many professors' offices, but Professor McGonagall's office is Gretel's favorite.

The red-gold fireplace warms with a blazing flame, and the sun shines through the carved windows.

On a six-foot-long solid wood square table, various documents are neatly placed on the welts.

A quill that looks some years old is stuck diagonally in an inkwell.

"Come, let's have some tea first." A bronze teapot jumped in front of Gretel, and the cup of water that jumped with him leaned over to bring a cup of warm black tea to Gretel from the spout.

"Flitwick is angry with us, so here's for you." Professor McGonagall pulled out a badge from the inside of the bookshelf and handed it to Gretel.

The lion, badger, snake and eagle turned out to be a school emblem, and Glitter pinched the school emblem in his hand and cast a puzzled look.

"This is a special school crest, which Flitwick asked us to make in a hurry, with the elven secret guardian charm on it, as well as the perception charm of our four deans.

After wearing the Colonel's badge, as long as you do not leave the range of Hogwarts enchantments.

No matter what kind of dark magic attack you receive, you can hold on for five minutes, five minutes, enough for at least one professor to rush to your side. ”

Gretel froze instantly, but Professor McGonagall didn't give him a chance to sensationalize.

Just waved his hand and sent him out, "Remember, only within the Hogwarts spell can we perceive, don't sneak away from Hogsmeade with those senior students." ”

After Gretel left, Professor McGonagall sat back at his desk, recalling Dumbledore's words.

Trelawney did the divination and walked into Hogwarts with the people of the future...... He will bring fusion ...... Peace will come. ”
