Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

Hermione summoned the owl, tied the notebook to the owl's leg several times, and threw it away.

Recipient: Tom Riddle!

Even if you want to send something as an apology, you should deliver it yourself, instead of having Ginny give it to me!

After doing all this, Hermione felt as if she had been redeemed, and that she had gotten a small revenge on Tom. She felt incredibly happy, a happiness she had never felt before!

at the same time.

……

Hogwarts.

Tom returned to this place.

Having been away for a long time, Tom found himself feeling somewhat unfamiliar with Hogwarts.

Were there that many tall, mature women last semester?

Wow, Senior Sister Dadi has gotten even bigger!

"Tom?"

Tom heard Li Su's voice.

This guy has become quite handsome now. His messy hair has finally been combed and is neatly covering his eyebrows, no longer looking greasy.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"You haven't been studying magic all this time... have you?" Li Su took a step forward and put her arm around Tom's shoulder. "Tell me the truth, what have you been doing?"

"I had an academic exchange with a wizard from a thousand years ago and took the time to learn some other things."

"Hmph, bragging."

Li Su clapped her hands and turned her head away, refusing to listen to Tom's nonsense.

Anyone who believes Tom is a fool!

You even communicated with a wizard from a thousand years ago. Why don't you say you met Merlin, and that Merlin cried and begged you to be his student?

That kid's all bragging!

I'll blow you to death!

Tom, seeing that the other person didn't believe him, sighed: "Did anything happen in the second half of the semester? During the time I was away..."

“Yes, of course,” Li Su interrupted Tom. “Mr. Lockhart became the object of scorn after you left, but he still wouldn’t leave the school. However, that damned narcissistic classroom has finally changed, and at least we’ve learned something.”

Aside from teaching, Professors Snape and Sprout stayed in their offices, doing who-knows-what.

By the way, I heard... there's a pair of very cute and beautiful twins at school, and they've already received a lot of love letters. Tom... hehe, you're just a step too late.

"Twins?" Tom asked, puzzled. "What are their names?"

"One is named Misha, and the other is named Isabel. We don't know their last names. They look very young, but we asked all the first-year students, and none of them seemed to know them. We guess they are Professor Snape's illegitimate children..."

You don't know, but many people now believe that Professor Sprout and Professor Snape are actually married, otherwise their relationship wouldn't be so... so bad!

These two seem to be sworn enemies, never to see each other again; they always end up arguing whenever they meet.

Tom: "..."

Tom couldn't bear to interrupt Li Su as she animatedly described their argument.

Of course, Tom was even more embarrassed to say that... he and Misha and Isabel had a tiny bit of a relationship.

As for the argument between Professor Sprout and Professor Snape... it seems that it might be because of himself.

The two of them were always arguing fiercely over their custody.

Tom suddenly patted his face.

No, I'm not Professor Lockhart. I can't be so narcissistic. I can't be so decisive without being 100% certain.

Just as Li Su was feeling smug, an owl flew in through the window and landed on Tom's shoulder. A book was wrapped around its body, as if someone had deliberately tied it there.

Tom took the book off the owl, patted her head, gave her some food as a "tip," and then let her leave.

"Is that Hermione's owl?"

Tom nodded: "Yes, I wonder what she sent me this time. Hermione's been quite clingy these days."

"Clingy?" Li Su couldn't imagine what Hermione had to do with those two words.

You mean Hermione is clingy and leaves the classroom immediately after class?

Are you kidding me?

It's more accurate to say that Professor Snape was clingy.

Tom had no idea what Li Su was thinking. He opened the book, wanting to see what Hermione had sent him.

But when you turn the page, a line of small print appears.

"Hello, little wizard, I am Tom Riddle."

I?

No, no, it wasn't me...

This is Voldemort!

So, Ginny got the book, and then Hermione found it. Hermione then gave it to me to solve!

Tom rubbed his temples and let out a long sigh. He patted Li Su on the shoulder and said, "Take something back for me. I'm tired, so I won't go to the cafeteria."

"Tom, how can you be so selfish? You've already walked all the way to the cafeteria entrance!"

“Two Galleons.” Tom held up two fingers.

"Just two Galleons, Tom, this isn't about the money. You know, as wizards, we must be diligent. Laziness is absolutely unacceptable. I don't think you can just..."

Tom held up one hand: "Five Galleons."

"Tom, I'll always be your most loyal follower. I'll make sure you get the things safely. Just wait for me in the dorm." Li Su saluted, her expression changing faster than flipping through a book.

Tom nodded and went back to his dormitory with his books.

Terry hasn't come back yet; he's probably still at home, snuggling up in his big bed, making the dorm incredibly quiet.

Lying in bed, Tom crossed his legs and hesitated for a long time before picking up a quill pen.

Before Tom could even put pen to paper, small print appeared again in the notebook.

"Little wizard, do you have many questions in your heart? But that doesn't matter, it's not important. You can walk 322 steps south in the corridor of Hogwarts, and you will see my name there."

My name is Tom Riddle, a former prefect at Hogwarts. However, I was framed by villains and imprisoned in this book. I hope…

I hope you can release me.

Tom hesitated for a moment before finally putting pen to paper.

Tom: "Hello, senior, what a coincidence, my name is the same as yours, I am also called Tom Riddle."

It was obvious to the naked eye that both the notebook and Tom had fallen silent.

Neither of them spoke first.

Tom tapped his fingers, not in a hurry at all.

He knew this thing was Voldemort's Horcrux, and destroying it... wouldn't be difficult.

only……

You can squeeze every last bit of value out of him and then destroy him; all it takes is a little psychological maneuvering and skill.

Now Tom just needs to wait for the notebook to give in first.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the laptop to respond again.

Notebook: "I believe you will definitely become a very powerful wizard in the future. I'm even starting to wonder if you and I are actually brothers."

I... Although I have achieved remarkable success, I'm not afraid to admit it, but I actually came from an orphanage. I was just a child from an orphanage, so I don't know who my parents are, let alone whether I have any brothers.

If I could, I'd really like to meet you and see if we look alike..."

The laptop used the tactic of playing the victim!

He wanted to gain Tom's sympathy!

Unfortunately, Tom's heart was 99% black, and he would never leave the little conscience he had left for Voldemort, that fool.

Voldemort wanted Tom to help him, but Tom... he just wanted to get a little something out of Voldemort.

Tom: "What a coincidence, I also came from an orphanage. I was so happy the day I received my acceptance letter. And like you, I've never seen my parents since I was a child."

However, I had no idea that anyone at Hogwarts shared the same name as me.

Notebook: "Perhaps because so much time has passed, everyone... has probably forgotten me. It's alright, I can take you with me. You will see a plaque with my name on it; that's an award for me."

Tom agreed to the notebook and wandered around the corridors of Hogwarts with it.

The medals were of all kinds, a dazzling array, and without exception, they all bore the name Tom Riddle in large letters.

If it were someone else, they might really see him as some kind of heroic senior.

Unfortunately, the person holding the notebook now is Tom.

Tom isn't that stupid.

Tom: "You actually played Quidditch before, and you were even the Seeker!"

"Wow, Seeker is the best class in Quidditch! I used to want to be a Seeker too."

The notebook quickly replied: "You should try it. No one will refuse Quidditch. It's a fun game that everyone will enjoy."

Tom: "No, I can't, and I'm very busy right now. Actually, I have a lot of ideas and so many things I want to learn, but I just feel like I can't learn them."

Tom's handwriting became somewhat messy, and he hoped the notebook could understand his current emotions.

impatient!

What villain would hate a child who wants to work hard and improve?

These villains aren't afraid of Tom working too hard, they're afraid of Tom not working hard enough!

As long as there is something to desire, as long as there is a dream, there is an opportunity!
