Chapter 191: Reaching an agreement with the principal
In fact, Dumbledore was wary of Ted's talent. It's normal too!
Gifted, charismatic, a natural regent, and industrious, it is frightening...... This Dumbledore looks a little familiar!
Isn't this a juvenile version of old looks?
Why does Dumbledore hate and always guard against Senior Tom when he was in school?
At the same time, Tom was loved by everyone, from students to teachers to ghosts, everyone admired him. But Dumbledore was very unkind to see him.
So much so that after the incident in the secret room, Tom didn't dare to open the secret room again.
It wasn't because Dumbledore knew what Tom was doing at the orphanage and was disgusted. It's that Dumbledore suffered a loss once when he was young, and was deceived by a young, handsome scumbag who exudes dark charm!
Therefore, if Tom Riddle wants to repeat Grindelwald's great exploits in Dumbledore, it is like Empress Wei imitating Wu Zetian, learning everywhere but not everywhere.
And Dumbledore was already immune to this style, so Riddle didn't want to confuse him by imitating Grindelwald.
Now, the old students haven't completely solved it, and the new students are here again.
This really aroused Dumbledore's alarm, the same talent, and even the same championed by everyone.
Voldemort spoke as if he had magic in his eyes - he was very good at persuading people.
Ted is the same, if not better. Ted's current popularity in the school, let alone among the students, even among the professors, is very favored by everyone except Snape.
And Ted's incitement ability is too similar to the Muggle mustache he saw back then! The same presentation skills are full of ......
At this point, Ted planned to speak openly and honestly to Dumbledore.
After the incident in the secret room, Ted wanted to open it instead.
As long as you're at Hogwarts, you can't always role-play an ordinary little wizard.
Instead of trying to deceive, be sincere.
Ted: "Headmaster, is it because of Tom Riddle that you're so concerned about me?" You were so wary of him in the first place? ”
"You're different!" Dumbledore was immediately decided.
He lowered his head slightly, his face a little sad.
"I'm sorry, I've become a little sensitive in this regard after going through Tom, and I have to apologize to you."
He knew that lying to Ted at this time was the worst option.
Ted can't be treated as a child, he must be talked to as an equal being. Many times sincerity is more useful than skill.
Ted spread his hands helplessly, "After experiencing this incident with Senior Tom, I can somewhat understand. After all, we do have a lot in common to some extent. ”
"However, I have to emphasize that I am not born with character defects like Tom and I am extremely afraid of death. To be honest, I can't understand why he was afraid of dying of old age when he was a teenager, and for so many years, is he so anxious? ”
Dumbledore did let down his guard and vigilance, and even took off his mental defenses, facing Ted with a very relaxed and friendly attitude. It's like an elder facing a somewhat naughty junior.
He felt that Ted was really to the point, and pouted: "I have to admit that the way I was educated back then was really not well considered. But Tom does have a bad track record, too. It's hard for me to understand why he's so afraid of death. Leap to death, ha, he's really arrogant enough......"
The word Voldemort is spelled together with the meaning of "leap to death".
Tom successfully made a Horcrux at the age of 16 in the fifth grade, and then split his soul continuously, driving himself crazy, and he was indeed a little afraid of dying too much.
After a moment's conversation, Ted pointed to the journal on the table with a hole in it.
"Professor, what do you think about this? Something that has a mind of its own, and is even capable of sucking on the emotions of others and the manifestation of life......"
Dumbledore looked at the diary under his nose with a serious look in his eyes: "Very evil dark magic items, very high-end. I've rarely even heard of anything with a similar effect......"
Clearly, Dumbledore was certain that the journal might be a Horcrux. Old Malfoy's judgment was right, this diary is most likely a Horcrux!
The book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Dark Arts" on the office bookshelf already means that Dumbledore has already looked for clues.
However, he thought it would be better not to talk to Ted about this kind of thing first.
Dumbledore had always felt that gifted children should not be exposed to the Dark Arts too early. That has a very poisonous effect on the three views of young people.
As everyone knows, Ted has already read the forbidden book.
But Ted could understand him, and it was mature and the right thing to do.
In fact, if you are not a mature adult and have a lot of knowledge of the other world, you are likely to be attracted to those powerful and mysterious black magic.
The more curious, the deeper, the deeper the darker.
The side effects of dark magic will slowly affect the spirit, and Ted himself does not dare to be careless, he has always been conservative in his research on black magic, and he will conduct psychological evaluations of himself every month, worrying about changes that he has not noticed.
After he reminded the principal that he should pay attention to the diary, the rest is none of his business, and he will only be in the third grade next year.
If this matter were to be reported by a journalist, it would have looked like this:
At the invitation of Hogwarts Headmaster Dumbledore, Ted, an outstanding student and recipient of the Special Contribution Award, paid his first goodwill visit to the Headmaster's office in the evening of May.
The two sides had a comprehensive exchange on the relationship between teachers and students, as well as cooperation in various fields such as their positions, emotions, and values, and reached an agreement on the issue of Senior Tom's diary of common concern.
Reminiscing about the harmonious scene when they entered the school two years ago, the two sides agreed to further deepen the cooperation between teachers and students at a time when the magical society is profoundly evolving.
Both sides expressed satisfaction with the lively, cautious, and serious attitude of the progress and depth of magic learning, and reaffirmed the importance of being cautious about the study of dark arts.
Both sides emphasized that Voldemort's defeat was a historical necessity and a unanimous choice of the wizarding community.
As a cordial teacher-student partner, the two parties have a high degree of trust in each other, and the friendship between teachers and students is precious in the lives of both parties.
Dumbledore congratulated his outstanding student Ted on the successful conclusion of the Salted Fish Net held in Diagon Alley, and wished Ted and his friends greater success in building a prosperous, powerful and prosperous magical society in Great Britain.
Ted was determined to work with Dumbledore to keep the wizarding world in order......
……
Solved Dumbledore's suspicions, Ted breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you are still at Hogwarts, or as long as you are still in the wizarding world of Great Britain, you can't avoid Dumbledore.
Now that Dumbledore has expressed his trust and support for himself, he will be able to take a bigger step.
In the past, he was just a Hogwarts student, an orphan in a Muggle orphanage, and he had no backing.
But now it's different, at least there is Dumbledore's shadow behind him, although there is no way to directly pull the tiger skin to make a banner, but with this relationship, at least he will not be flattened and kneaded at will.
Even if Minister of Magic Fudge wants to make a fuss about himself, he has to weigh Dumbledore's attitude.
Without affecting his official position, Fudge wished that he would never have contact with Dumbledore in the rest of his life. He was actually very afraid of Dumbledore.
I am especially wary that Dumbledore is suddenly going to run for Minister of Magic, I am afraid that if Dumbledore releases his words, he will be impeached and removed from office on the same day.
Not to mention, Ted now has a hidden ally behind him, and that is the Malfoys.
Oh yes, and I'm still a business partner of the Black family, the Magic Softening Shampoo business.
is like the protagonist in many places, obviously very strong, but when he comes to a strange world, he always runs into a wall, as if God (the author) is against him.
But to integrate into a new environment, all you need is a network. Otherwise, there will be a situation where the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and what is not going well.
Not to mention that Ted is just a little dragon now~
