Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

He knew the witch was telling the truth.

They only feel powerless when faced with true geniuses.

But there was simply no way to resolve it.

"My lord, will those guests who come to our Death Realm attack us?"

If they're going to attack us, I should probably warn Tom beforehand so he doesn't return to the territory for a while.

The witch thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No need. If Tom happens to enter the realm and discover them, we can introduce him to that group."

This is so they know whose student Tom is, and that no one is allowed to lay a hand on Tom in the future.

Arthur wiped the sweat from his brow inwardly; this man was simply a tsundere.

She clearly wanted to show Tom to others, but she said she didn't really help Tom.

If Tom were ever kidnapped by someone else, this adult would definitely show his true anger.

Arthur couldn't even imagine what the outcome would be when that day came.

“Now you can go and inform Merlin. What are you waiting for?” The witch seemed to see through Arthur’s thoughts. She glanced at Arthur coldly. “Don’t think about anything else. I just hope that my future life can become peaceful.”

The reason I brought Tom in as my student was simply so that he could take over my job in the future, so that I wouldn't have to stay in this field anymore.

I've lived here for so long that the initial novelty has long since worn off; now all that's left is endless boredom.

Tired...?

Arthur lowered his head: "I understand, sir. I'll go tell the teacher right away."

After Merlin was found, the old man was still somewhat eccentric, but when Merlin saw Arthur, his expression softened slightly.

Merlin still held a fondness for his student.

"Master, that esteemed person said that some guests will be arriving in our territory in a few days, and he hopes that you..."

Arthur did not continue speaking.

Merlin's eyes darted around, but in an instant, they returned to calm.

He nodded: "I understand. During this time, I will use Occupy Central on myself, right?"

Occupational brain surgery is truly an evil invention. Who on earth invented this kind of magic?

This kind of magic shouldn't even exist; it seals away what's most important to a wizard!

Arthur shrugged. "At least in situations like this, Occlumency can help you deal with this problem."

"I just saw a reflection of my past self in Tom."

That little guy is so talented and hardworking; one day he'll reach a higher position than me." Merlin's words contained not a trace of jealousy.

Of course, it wasn't because he had seen through it all, but because there was a deep, dark look in Merlin's eyes at that moment.

He has already used a brain-blocking technique on himself to completely shut down his emotions.

Occlumency has its drawbacks. The longer Merlin uses Occlumency, the more insane he will become after it is removed.

Arthur sighed.

There's nothing I can do; that's just how my teacher is. There are some things he just can't understand.

Arthur only hoped that Merlin could adapt to all of this as soon as possible, and that in the future, he wouldn't show so much malice towards Tom.

Chapter 155 An Open and Blatant Undercover Agent

Isabel's status at Hogwarts seemed to rise instantly.

Since Tom did such a big thing, all of Tom's friends have been given great respect.

Even in the classroom, professors will no longer inexplicably deduct grades from their college's scores.

Even those who once looked down on Isabel are now beginning to take these students seriously.

Isabel and Misha, after all, came from an orphanage. Hogwarts is not lacking in gifted students, nor is it lacking in pure-blood wizards.

These wizards are born with a sense of superiority, and they believe that people like Misha and Isabel, who are of the mud race, should be their shoes shiners.

They just haven't said anything yet.

However, after what happened with Tom, these people no longer dared to have such thoughts.

While it's true that they're of humble origins, we should also consider the immense power behind them.

Look at this, even King Arthur could only speak up for Tom and was even afraid of the teacher behind Tom. How could these pure-blood wizards challenge Tom?

A previous rumor about Tom also faded away at this time.

No one would believe that Tom was Professor Snape's illegitimate son anymore.

The reason is simple: Professor Snape is really not fit to be Tom's teacher.

Professor Snape was indeed powerful; as a master of potions, he was already one of the most formidable wizards.

Even so, compared to King Arthur, Snape was nothing more than a dog on the street.

Anyone with a modicum of sense would know that from this point on, they could no longer afford to offend Tom, and might even have to try to please him.

……

Isabel washed her face in the bathroom and sensed that someone was watching her.

Turning her head, Isabel saw a middle-aged wizard who couldn't help but curl his lip: "Why is Hogwarts' security system so bad lately? Can just anyone get into the school?"

"Miss Isabel, please calm down, please calm down!" The dark wizard raised his hand, constantly trying to soothe Isabel, afraid that the child in front of him might do something outrageous.

“Miss Isabel, we mean no harm, we are not bad people.”

Isabel interrupted her: "Many people say they are not bad people, including Voldemort when he came to see me."

But in the end, didn't Voldemort still turn on Tom? Tell me, who are you?

Isabel glanced to the side; she knew that she wasn't the only one who had come looking for her.

"We are Lord Voldemort's Death Eaters, but we are not bad people. We came to find you only hoping..."

Isabel raised her hand to stop them from continuing: "Stop talking, I know what you're trying to do."

You must be trying to get me to join your ridiculous Death Eaters again.

I'm telling you, absolutely not. I'm counting down from three now, and you're all fired!

"Miss Isabel, please reconsider, at least reconsider the conditions we have proposed!"

“3!” Isabel’s words were unequivocal as she coldly looked at the people in front of her and held up three fingers.

“Miss Isabel, we can give you everything we have. We will do our best to make whatever you want.”

"2!"

Isabel ignored them.

A bunch of damned Death Eaters dared to make demands of me. When they attacked Tom, I was already thinking of eliminating the entire Death Eater group.

If Tom hadn't kept stopping her, Isabel wouldn't have been able to wait until today.

Now that someone has conveniently offered themselves up, Isabelle decided to stop putting up with it.

"You're not leaving, huh? Then don't leave." Isabel raised her wand. "Divine Shield Spell!"

Tom wasn't the only one who learned the Divine Slash Spell. Isabel also learned it from Professor Snape.

Besides Patronus, Isabel is also proficient in the Divine Edge Spell.

Seeing that the child in front of them had used the Divine Strike Shadowless Spell, the Death Eaters dared not continue to entangle with him.

In a flash, the group of people left.

"I told you, we should have given Isabel a gift first! Who told you to come up here and make demands of him right away!"

"Where are the gifts? Why didn't you bring out the gifts you bought?"

“We only bought food and toys. Who told you to talk to Isabel in the bathroom? How could we possibly give gifts in a place like that?”

"Before asking others, think about whether you've done something wrong. Who gave you permission to talk to Isabel in the bathroom?!"

"Damn it, was it because I wanted to talk to Isabel in the bathroom? She discovered us!"

"Is this your reason for going into the women's restroom?"

The Death Eaters exchanged cold, contemptuous glances, and they were even about to start fighting.

"Stop talking nonsense and quickly think about what we should do next!"

After this failure, Isabel will definitely be more wary of us and will absolutely not let us continue to chat with him.

You just wasted a full three seconds because of your mistake. After those three seconds, we must be very careful with our words in every conversation from now on.

We were even mentally prepared that if we met Isabel again, he would directly attack us.

"If you ask me, no matter what, Isabel is just a child. Why don't we just take him back to our master?"

"Are you crazy? Have you forgotten what our master told us? We must never lay a hand on Isabel!"

"The Tom incident just happened a short while ago, and you're already trying to do this? Aren't you afraid of upsetting the master?"

The Death Eaters fell silent, pondering the matter for a long time.

"You all say that what the master wants most is for Tom to join our side, so why don't we go find Tom and see if we can make it happen?"

If Tom joins us, then Isabel won't need us to persuade her; she'll naturally follow him.

Silence is the hallmark of Hogwarts tonight.

They looked at the person who said those words as if they were an idiot.

Doesn't he know what just happened between Tom and Voldemort?

Has he forgotten what Voldemort ordered them not long ago?

This stupid guy, does he really think that nothing happened just because Voldemort didn't say anything?

Almost everyone knew that there must have been some kind of conflict between Tom and Voldemort, which was why Voldemort noticed him. Tom's talent and strength were what led to the assassination of Tom.

Getting these two back together will be quite difficult.
