Hogwarts: I, Tom, am not the Dark Lord

The idea of ​​using the water of life and death as a poison was actually given to him by Tom.

Snape's questions in the first Potions class made Zabini remember this potion, and then he became interested in it.

After consulting the information and collecting the materials, I started to work.

It took him two days of hiding in the boys' bathroom to complete the brewing of the potion - a potion full of flavor, which he ended up enjoying himself.

"You've truly impressed me, Blaise." Tom put down his teacup and sighed, "With your talent for Potions, bloodline and family background are no longer important. Sooner or later, you'll earn respect on your own."

Tom's praise was like a bucket of cold water poured down on a hot day, making Shabini feel extremely refreshed.

He might feel proud if others praised him, but he would never feel such pleasure.

But this is Tom who beat him three or four times.

The recognition of the enemy is the best affirmation, and this statement has been fully confirmed.

No, Riddle is not his enemy now, he is his elder brother!

Zabini lowered his eyebrows and said, "Riddle, I was ignorant before. From now on, I will never think of revenge again. It was my first day that I spoke so arrogantly. It's my fault."

"Good awareness." Tom stood up and patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Notkrozier, "What about you guys?"

The two shook their heads frantically, "We won't dare to do it again. We won't dare to do it again."

"Very good, hand over your pocket money."

“…”

Another thirty Galleons came in. Tom put the money away and wanted to continue reading his book.

But to his surprise, Shabini actually took the initiative to talk to him, and the other two also came over.

This had never happened before. He was the one who ordered the three people what to do, and there had never been any such casual conversation.

Since they took the initiative to show their goodwill, Tom didn't care whether they were sincere or not, and just took over the conversation naturally.

Shabini talked about the problems he encountered when refining the water of life and death, and Tom also gave an answer. After he finished speaking, he actually saw a hint of admiration in this guy's eyes?

Rozier and Knott were a little envious.

The two of them were talking about high-end topics that they couldn't understand. Before, the three of them were beaten together, but now the sense of gap appeared.

Thanks to Tom's appreciation, Shabini's status in this dormitory was unconsciously higher than the other two.

This is how classes are created inadvertently. The person at the top holds the dominant power, and whoever he favors can surpass others.

The next morning, Zabini followed Tom like a follower, and the other two followed closely behind, attracting the attention of many Slytherin snakes.

It wasn't until Daphne glared at them that the three of them reluctantly left.

After helping Daphne finish her homework, Tom went to the library again to continue entering books into the study space. When he arrived, he found that Hermione was there too, waving at him and motioning him to come over.

As soon as Tom sat down, the little witch couldn't wait to whisper, "I forgot to ask you yesterday. That night you suddenly appeared in front of me, as if you were invisible. Was it a magic effect?"

"Disillusionment." Avoiding Madam Pince's gaze, Tom and Hermione whispered in each other's ears: "A spell that changes the light and makes you invisible."

"Where did you learn that?"

"It's on the innermost shelf, 'Advanced Practical Spells'. It's also in the fifth-grade textbook."

Hermione didn't stop for a moment, ran over to get the book Tom mentioned, and began to read it attentively.

After a moment, Tom nudged the little witch with his elbow, and Hermione looked over with a frown.

"Have Harry and Ron decided on the idea I proposed yesterday?"

Hermione's eyes became alert: "Tom, I still don't understand what you are going to do. There must be something fishy here."

"How could you wrong me?" Tom complained. "I... I only gave Harry and the others advice out of your kindness."

"We are good friends after all. Even if we are from different schools, it won't affect our relationship."

Tom originally wanted to use the reputation of the college to guarantee himself, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that Slytherin really had no credibility at all, and saying it out loud would only make people more suspicious.

So I can only play the emotional card.

A few sweet words made Miss Granger's cheeks flush, and she punched Tom twice with her little fist in pretended anger.

"I don't believe you, you big bad guy."

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want." Tom grabbed Hermione's soft little hand and gently put it back.

"I'm just curious, just asking."

Hermione couldn't do anything about him, so she could only whisper, "When I left, I saw Potter and Weasley go find the twins. Weasley was beaming with joy. I guess he did what you asked."

.......

Gryffindor.

A group of little lions surrounded Ron and Harry. In order to let more people see him, Ron stood on the sofa, spitting everywhere.

"The shameless Malfoy initiated the duel just because Harry beat him in flying class!"

"He flew amazingly, and... ahem, you can ask Wood about the details, but Malfoy was so angry because he felt humiliated that he came looking for Harry. I think quite a few people saw him coming, right?"

Several boys nodded vigorously. "I remember he came here with two fat guys on Thursday. He left after saying something to you guys."

"Yes, now we have witnesses."

Ron became even more excited. "But he didn't show up that night! Harry and I waited for half an hour, and it was Filch and his cat who showed up!"

Ron kicked Harry, who had remained silent.

Harry forced a grief-stricken expression and jumped onto the sofa. "Ron told me that wizard duels are very sacred battles, especially for pure-bloods like Malfoy, who care deeply about the honor of their family."

"If it was any other reason, I would never be fooled into going on a night tour."

"But this was a challenge to a duel from one of the twenty-eight pureblood families, and he actually...actually didn't come?"

“Really…really…”

Harry hesitated for a long time and suddenly forgot the words.

Fortunately, the twins are here, so he won’t be left out in the cold.

"People's hearts have changed and the world is becoming more corrupted!"

Chapter 44: I originally thought it was a gifted talent, but it turned out to be a family tradition!

Gryffindor has many virtues, such as courage, boldness, determination, and a focus on honor.

Translated, it means reckless, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, stubborn, and concerned about reputation.

Human nature is actually a very complex thing. Sometimes, two opposite personalities can appear contradictory in one person. We cannot simply summarize a person with a few characteristics.

However, the existence of the Sorting System actually strengthens these characteristics, allowing young wizards to gradually become more in line with the selection criteria of the academy during the most important period of character formation.

The young wizards in Gryffindor had basically been influenced by this school, so when most people learned that Harry and Ron dared to go out for a night out a week after they started school, they admired and praised them, thinking they were very brave.

Only a few people, including Percy, frowned. Percy wanted to scold his brother and Harry, but he was also addicted to listening to the story and did not speak out immediately.

When the little lions heard that Malfoy didn't go, they went crazy and cursed more harshly than the other.

At the same time, there is a strong sense of pride.

See? The Slytherin students didn't dare to duel with the righteous Gryffindors, and they didn't even have the courage to show up.

Harry looked at his excited classmates and suddenly felt a fear of Tom.

It's terrifying that a Slytherin can understand the psychology of Gryffindors so accurately.

If Tom knew what Harry was thinking, he would definitely say that it was unnecessary.

Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can handle the situation of a reckless man and a fool.

After everyone quieted down a bit, Harry shouted, "I'm not saying this to show off, I'm just reminding everyone to be careful in the future. If Malfoy or other Slytherin students challenge you to a duel, don't be fooled. They definitely won't go."

There was another round of laughter. Harry said this very nicely, but it was the twins' idea. He and Ron could never think of such an idea.

As for whether you are worried that after they remind you, this matter will really become a secret, there is no need to think about it.

If Gryffindor doesn't take this opportunity to severely discredit Slytherin and mock Malfoy, how can he be considered a qualified Gryffindor?

As soon as Harry finished speaking, several students left the common room. It was obvious where they were going.

Harry and Ron smiled at each other.

Become!

...

Throughout the weekend, news of Malfoy's avoidance of the duel spread like wildfire throughout the castle.

The little lion of Gryffindor turned into a walking loudspeaker. When he met his friends from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, he would laugh and describe what Harry had said in vivid detail.

When they meet a Slytherin who is inherently evil, they make sarcastic remarks, leaving the person speaking confused and unable to understand the cause and effect.

It is human nature to join in the fun. The little wizard from Hufflepuff was more indifferent and just laughed foolishly on the side, but someone from Ravenclaw had already left the scene.

Come to think of it, there has been quite a bit of grudges between Slytherin and Ravenclaw over the years.

How do you think Snake Academy won six consecutive championships?

Gryffindor poses no threat and there is no need to target them, as they will deduct points from themselves. Hufflepuffs are peaceful and have a low sense of presence, so you can hardly find them when adding or deducting points.

The only one that can be considered a competitor is Ravenclaw. If they also have a head of house who doesn't want... a head who only cares about the students of his own house, then it's hard to say who will win the house cup.

Therefore, seeing a good opportunity to kick Slytherin when he was down, how could the Ravenclaw students let Slytherin go?

They directly used their own strengths to give Malfoy a head-on blow.

A Ravenclaw girl wearing glasses, unkempt but exuding a strong bookish air, was holding a book, with a gleam reflecting off her glasses.

"You see, what Draco Malfoy did was not a sudden whim, but a family tradition. There is a certain method to it."

"His great-great-great-grandfather, during a duel with a Muggle knight, used strong croton on the knight's horse, causing the knight to lose his horse the next day. He won the victory in a despicable way."

"And Malfoy's great-great-great-grandfather's younger brother bribed a large sum of money in a duel with a powerful wizard, manipulated off-the-table gambling and made a large amount of gambling money, making an important contribution to the development of the Malfoy family."
