Hogwarts: I, Tom, am not the Dark Lord

However, what no one expected was that there was actually someone who wanted to challenge Tom. Bock looked at Tom with full fighting spirit, and many people looked at him in surprise.

Could it be that Bock is dissatisfied with being suppressed by Tom and is ready to stand up?

Even Tom thought the same thing, thinking that it was because he had been much more low-key and had not performed well since last semester that Bock had started to have thoughts that he shouldn't have.

The boy's eyes narrowed as he looked at Bock scrutinizingly.

Burke then realized that what he had just said seemed a little strange, and quickly explained: "Tom, I just wanted to prove my current level. I know I am definitely not your opponent, but you are the most suitable person in the entire Slytherin family."

After losing to Tom, Bock worked harder than before, but just because he worked hard, did that mean Tom didn’t make any progress?

The talent gap is there, and others' progress will only be greater, so Bock never has any unrealistic fantasies, he just wants to move around.

In fact, it’s similar to Tom’s idea of ​​looking for Snape.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Tom nodded slightly and said, "Then let's wait until the challenge is over."

"No one's challenging me anymore, right?" Bock looked around, making sure no one else was stepping forward. He then said to Tom, "Shall we begin?"

Hearing this, the young wizards retreated a lot, leaving more space.

Tom took out his wand and, without bothering with the formalities, gestured for Burke to make the first move.

Bock was not polite either. He put himself in a very low position and took advantage of his first-mover advantage. He chanted the spell for a full two seconds before his wand shot out a thick black light.

Tom raised his hand and responded with a silent spell without chanting any spell, shooting out a red beam of light.

The red light collided head-on with the black light. The two were in a stalemate for half a second, and then the black light was forcefully pushed back. In Bock's horrified eyes, it returned to its original path and hit himself.

Fortunately, a lot of the energy was consumed by Tom's spell, and in the end only a small impact force was left, which pushed him against the wall and then completely dissipated.

And Tom also dispersed the magic just at the right time.

Burke slid down in shock, and smiled wryly at the boy who had put away his wand.

The pure crushing of magic power, coupled with the perfect control of magic power, the gap is even greater than he imagined.

The young wizards watching the battle also held their breath.

Last time, Bock was able to fight Tom back and forth, but this time he was killed in one move?

Some smart students have already started thinking about how to get along well with Tom.

.....

The next day, Tom received a message from Dumbledore: the letter had been sent.

There is an Atlantic Ocean between Britain and the United States. It takes ten days to half a month for a letter to be sent, and the same amount of time to receive it, so Tom did not expect to get a reply in the short term.

However, he had put the unicorn issue aside. There was no time requirement for this trial, so there was no need to rush to complete it. He could focus on other things.

But the letter Daphne sent arrived in Mrs. Greengrass's hands the next day.

After reading the contents of the letter, Mrs. Greengrass was somewhat incredulous.

She had never heard of such a magical potion. Even if it existed, it should not be something that a first-year wizard could make.

··· 0Request flowers· ·······

Not even the last Tom Riddle could.

But Daphne swore that she had used it and it worked very well.

Even if it has no therapeutic effect, there will be no problem in giving it to my sister as a tonic.

After reading it twice more, Mrs. Greengrass finally came to Astoria's room with the letter and the potion.

Tom had no reason to harm Astoria, and Daphne would never harm her own sister. As Daphne said, it wouldn't do any harm if it didn't work, so there was no harm in trying.

"Mom, why are you here?"

The silver-haired girl, who was lying on the bed and reading the fashion magazine that Tom had given her for Christmas, looked at Mrs. Greengrass who came in and asked in confusion.

"This is a letter from Daphne. Take a look."

Astoria looked delighted as she took the letter and began to read it, her smile slowly turning into calmness.

"Since my sister said it works, let's try it."

This is not because she has any dissatisfaction with Daphne, but she has used similar attempts and methods too many times, but each time they have not been of much use.

The girl no longer had any expectations about this.

"Practice these movements once, and then drink the potion once you have mastered them," Mrs. Greengrass said softly.

Tom was afraid that describing the action in words would not be standard, so he drew a demonstration picture and cast a spell with the letter.

The stickman made all sorts of strange movements, which made Astoria smile knowingly.

.. ... ....

She obediently got out of bed and followed the stickman to learn. After finishing a set, she was already out of breath, which made Mrs. Greengrass feel distressed.

Can Astoria really adapt to life at Hogwarts?

After resting for a while to recover her strength, Astoria picked up the potion and drank it all.

The indescribable taste and strange consistency made the girl frown, but soon, the heat flow described in the letter appeared, and her withered body surged with a sense of strength and fullness she had never felt before.

“Does it really work?”

Astoria was pleasantly surprised, and Mrs. Greengrass stood up excitedly.

"Quick, digest the medicine according to the movements you just made!"

A quarter of an hour later, Astoria did it twice in one breath. This time she was not out of breath at all, but her face showed a long-lost redness.

“That’s great, it really works.”

Mrs. Greengrass hugged her daughter excitedly and cried with joy.

She never thought that she could get a way to save her daughter from a little wizard.

"Mom, I'm so hot." Astoria said softly, with a happy smile on her cute face.

She felt that her body was much better than before. She would no longer be out of breath after walking a few steps and would have to go back to bed to rest.

At this moment, Astoria couldn't wait to go out for a walk and better experience the health of her body, but the weather outside was too cold, so Mrs. Greengrass naturally wouldn't let her.

After she promised that the weather would improve, Astoria would be allowed to go out, and the girl finally put down her pout.

After comforting her daughter, Mrs. Greengrass left the room.

In the letter, Daphne said it would cost five thousand Galleons, which was the cost of the potion. She didn't think it was expensive at all, and even thought it was cheap.

And it doesn't mean that the potion has eradicated the curse yet, it just makes Astoria feel better.

But this is enough, she can keep buying it to keep her daughter in the best condition.

So... do you need the eye of a sphinx?

The Greengrass family has countless treasures, but this time-sensitive potion material has little collection value. There are only a few souvenirs made into specimens in the family, which can no longer be used as medicine.

If you look for it on short notice, it is not easy to find such precious materials, even those in the gray area.

After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Greengrass made up her mind, walked to a row of cabinets, opened one of them with blood, and pulled out a piece of parchment from a thick stack.

Another question about magic in Harry Potter: there's no quantification of magic in the original novels. However, there are a few direct descriptions of the oppressive feeling of magic, and it's also said that magic becomes stronger with age. It's actually quantifiable, but there's no specific standard.

Chapter 94: Tom's First Paper, The Everlasting Greengrass

on Monday.

Tom was stunned when he saw the five thousand Galleons in the dragon skin bag.

“Tom, it really works!”

Daphne happily skipped in front of the boy. "Mom said Astoria's face has turned red, and she ate a whole plate of pasta for dinner! She could only eat a third before, and I was worried she was starving."

"It's expected." Tom understood Daphne's excitement. After she calmed down a little, he shook the dragon skin bag.

"So what's with all this money?"

"Medicine expenses." Daphne said matter-of-factly.

"I can't take such a precious potion for free. Mom is already helping you find the ingredients. From now on, each bottle will cost 5,000 Galleons. Don't think it's too little."

"Oh, and she also said that if you tell her what materials you need, she will collect them. Also, the amount of money is a bit too much, and it's not safe for you to carry it all on you, so she plans to give you a safe, and you can just deduct it directly from it."

The girl finished her words in one breath, but the boy fell silent.

He now has a doubt.

Where does the Greengrass family's money come from? How can he say 5000 Galleons as casually as Knuts?

This may involve the core secret of the Greengrass family, but Tom did not ask.

It's not that I'm afraid Daphne won't tell him, but I feel that this silly child doesn't know it himself.

"Daphne."

Tom suddenly said solemnly. The girl was startled and became nervous: "What's wrong?"

"I said this potion is for you, I won't take your money."

Seeing the young woman about to speak, Tom quickly interrupted her: "I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious, just listen to me."

Daphne had no choice but to shut her mouth in grievance.
