Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

Page 204

Clearly, Hogwarts failed.

These professors failed.

Perhaps they never really paid attention to Voldemort, and simply thought he was a genius.

If Tom hadn't encountered Death, would he have ended up on the same path as Voldemort?

Ravenclaw thought to herself, her opinion of Dumbledore was growing lower and lower, and her disappointment with Hogwarts was growing.

But looking at these children in front of me...

“Ravenclaw!” A little girl raised her hand.

Upon seeing this person, Ravenclaw narrowed her eyes. Her eyebrows curved as if she were smiling, giving off a sense of warmth.

Hello, little one.

"Hello, my name is Hermione, Hermione Granger."

“Hermione…” Ravenclaw murmured the name, which sounded somewhat familiar to her.

Ravenclaw still remembers a few girls' names.

Misha, Isabel, Hermione.

Hermione left a particularly deep impression on me.

Although her parents didn't say what kind of person Hermione was, it was clear from their tone that Hermione and Tom had a special connection.

It was that connection that allowed Tom and Hermione to build a relationship long before.

“Hello, Hermione.” Ravenclaw smiled. “Is there anything I just said that you don’t understand?”

Hermione nodded and took out her notebook: "There are some things I'm not quite clear about regarding memory magic."

“Memory magic?” Ravenclaw’s eyebrows twitched. “No, children, perhaps you shouldn’t learn memory magic so early.”

For a second-grader like you, memory magic is still a bit too early. Before that, you should look at other things, such as the intermediate or advanced magic I mentioned before.

They're not as difficult as memory magic, nor as simple as fire-starting or illumination spells. They'll definitely give you a challenge, but they won't bore you.

Hermione shook her head: "No, I don't want to learn this magic."

I know... I'm not one of the more talented people when it comes to magic; I'm just average.

But... I have a friend who didn't come today, but my friend will definitely be very interested in memory magic.

Ravenclaw asked doubtfully, "Oh? Is your friend also a second-year student? Memory magic isn't a simple spell. Are you sure... your friend would be interested?"

Learning memory magic is a tedious and tedious process. Some wizards have spent a whole year learning memory magic, but in the end they still choose to give up. They haven't even been able to get to the basics.

Nevertheless, you still have to choose… Let me see your notebook, son.”

Hermione did not resist and handed the notebook to Ravenclaw.

Ravenclaw picked up Hermione's notebook and flipped through it with his palm.

With each page turned, Ravenclaw would glance at Hermione.

Hermione's brown eyes are beautiful and lovely, but that's not what Ravenclaw is interested in.

Rather, it was the sincerity deep within his pupils.

“These notes…you didn’t write them for yourself, did you?” Ravenclaw asked Hermione.

Because he had written down every single word he had said in great detail in his notebook.

Every single word!

This includes his own jokes and his own analogies.

She memorized even the simplest magic spells and the most basic phrases.

"Yes, senior, I have a friend named Tom. Tom is the most talented and gifted student I have ever met. He must have wanted to come to your class today, but he was delayed by something else."

I wrote these things down because I planned to give them to Tom; I thought he would be very interested.

"Tom Riddle?"

"Ravenclaw, do you know Tom?" Hermione covered her mouth.

She was surprised that Ravenclaw knew Tom's name.

When did this bastard become so famous?!

Why should Ravenclaw remember your name?!

Since you're so famous, why don't you just focus on developing your talent?

"Reverend Ravenclaw, Tom... he's very interested in all things unknown about magic."

Moreover, he was extremely diligent and hardworking; not long ago, he was a great hero at Hogwarts, and he was always so righteous.

Ravenclaw interrupted Hermione: "Hermione, are you going to be my student?"

“A student?” Hermione hesitated for a moment, then quickly waved her hand. “No, no, I’m not qualified. Perhaps you can go to Tom, sir.”

Tom has more potential and more ability; he's the most suitable person for you to be your student.

However, Ravenclaw shook his head: "No, that's not the case."

The Tom you mentioned... I know him.

Rather, I would say that I came to Hogwarts this time specifically for Tom.

However, the teacher you mentioned... Tom's teacher is a very great and powerful wizard. I am not qualified to be Tom's teacher right now.

If I were to actually become Tom's teacher, his real teacher would be very angry, and the consequences would be severe.

But you... Hermione, you have just as much effort and diligence as Tom, and a quality that I greatly admire.

Would you... like to become my student?

Tom's understanding of death is profound, and I can assure you that your future understanding of memory will be no less than Tom's current understanding of death.

"Death?" Hermione asked, puzzled. "What is death?"

“A kind of magic, a… very powerful, very unique magic, would you like it, Hermione?”

Hermione looked up, her fist slowly clenching: "Of course! I'm willing, Ravenclaw... teacher!"

Memory magic.

Since Tom studied death magic, then... he certainly couldn't master memory magic.

If I could learn memory magic, could I help Tom?

"I want to learn memory magic."

Ravenclaw showed a relieved expression.

I can say that I have a student now.

Ever since learning memory magic from that master, Ravenclaw had found her life incredibly boring, so having another student was a great relief for her.

Just then, Tom returned from outside with the little girl.

Ravenclaw looked at the two returning and coughed softly.

"As I just said, I will choose a child to be my student."

The eyes of many Hogwarts students in the audience lit up.

Once you become a Ravenclaw student, the future...

A bright future!

Not only that, they will also inherit the Ravenclaw legacy.

That comes from the legacy of a prehistoric wizard.

No matter how much time you spend studying at Hogwarts, the knowledge you gain may never be as valuable as a single sentence from Ravenclaw.

And that will happen after we graduate from Hogwarts in the future.

As long as you claim to be a Ravenclaw student, and as long as you can prove that you are a Ravenclaw student, you have a choice that no one else in the entire wizarding world can have.

As for how to prove that you've become a Ravenclaw student...

Some students at Hogwarts had already raised their cameras.

In less than one night, everyone will know that Ravenclaw has reappeared at Hogwarts and that Ravenclaw has taken on a student.

Some students have already started daydreaming.

If only... if only Ravenclaw had chosen them as their students.

How much boasting can they tell others?

Everyone must have great respect for them!

Just like Tom!

Tom has a very powerful wizard behind him.

Ravenclaw is also a very powerful wizard!

They too can become as popular as Tom throughout the school!

Who hasn't had such fantasies?
