Chapter 192 Agreement with the principal
In fact, Dumbledore was wary of Ted's talent. Also normal!
Extraordinary talent, amazing charm, a natural minder, hardworking and frightening... This Dumbledore looks a little familiar!
Isn’t this the childhood version of the old friend?
Why does Dumbledore hate and always be wary of Senior Tom in school?
Senior Tom at the same time can be said to be loved by everyone, from students to teachers to ghosts, everyone admires him. But Dumbledore hated him very much.
So much so that after the Chamber of Secrets incident, Tom didn't dare to open the Chamber of Secrets again.
This is not because Dumbledore is disgusted because he knows what Tom has done in the orphanage. It was Dumbledore who once suffered a loss when he was young, and was deceived by a young and handsome scumbag exuding dark charm!
So Tom Riddle, a young Dark Lord, wants to repeat Grindelwald’s great achievements on Dumbledore. It’s like Empress Wei imitating Wu Zetian, but she doesn’t learn from others everywhere.
And Dumbledore is already immune to this style, so Riddle can't try to confuse him by imitating Grindelwald.
Now, the old students have not been completely resolved, and the new students are here again.
This really aroused Dumbledore's vigilance, the same talent, and even the same support from everyone.
Back then, Voldemort spoke as if he had magical powers—he was very good at persuading others.
Ted is the same, if not better at it. Ted's popularity in the school now, not to mention among the students, even among the professors, everyone except Snape is very partial.
Moreover, Ted's provocative ability is too similar to the Muggle mustache he saw back then! The same speech skill points are full...
Now that this is the case, Ted intends to have a frank and honest chat with Dumbledore.
After experiencing the Chamber of Secrets incident, Ted thought about it instead.
As long as I'm still at Hogwarts, I can't always role-play an ordinary little wizard.
Better to be sincere than to try to deceive.
Ted: "Principal, are you paying so much attention to me because of Tom Riddle? You were also so wary of him back then?"
"You are different!" Dumbledore immediately concluded.
He lowered his head slightly, with a sad expression on his face.
"Sorry, I've become a little sensitive about this after what happened to Tom, and I have to apologize to you."
He knew that lying to Ted at this time was the worst choice.
Ted cannot be treated as a child, but must be talked as an equal existence. In many cases sincerity is more useful than skill.
Ted spread his hands helplessly, "After experiencing Senior Tom, I can somewhat understand it. After all, to some extent, we do have a lot in common."
"However, I have to emphasize that I am not born with a personality defect like Senior Tom, and I am extremely afraid of death the day after tomorrow. To be honest, I can't understand why he was afraid of dying of old age when he was a teenager, and for so many years, Is he in such a hurry?"
Dumbledore did let down his vigilance and vigilance, and even lowered his mental defenses, and faced Ted with a very relaxed and friendly attitude. It's like an elder facing a naughty younger generation.
He felt that Ted had really hit the point, and curled his lips: "I have to admit that the way I was educated back then was indeed ill-considered. But Tom is indeed bad. I also have a hard time understanding why he is so afraid of death. Leaping to death, ha, he is really arrogant..."
The spelling of the word Voldemort means "leap to death".
Tom successfully made a horcrux at the age of 16 in the fifth grade. Afterwards, he split his soul continuously and drove himself crazy. He was really afraid of death.
After chatting for a while, Ted pointed to the diary with a big hole on the table.
"Professor, what do you think of this? A thing that has its own thinking, and can even absorb other people's emotions and manifested entities of life..."
Obviously, Dumbledore was certain that the diary might be a Horcrux. Old Malfoy's judgment was right, this diary is very likely to be a Horcrux!
The "Secrets of the Cutting-Edge Dark Arts" on the office bookshelf already means that Dumbledore has already looked for clues.
But he thinks it's better not to talk about this kind of thing with Ted in detail.
Dumbledore has always felt that those gifted children should not be exposed to black magic too early. That is very harmful to the three views of young people.
Little did he know that Ted had already read the banned book.
But Ted understands him, which is mature and the right thing to do.
Actually, if I am not a mature adult with a lot of knowledge of other worlds, I am likely to be attracted by those powerful and mysterious black magic.
The more curious you are, the deeper you go, and the deeper you go, the darker you are.
The side effects of black magic will slowly affect the spirit. Ted himself dare not be careless. The research on black magic has always been conservative, and he will conduct psychological evaluations on himself every month, worried that there will be changes that he has not noticed.
After he reminded the principal that he should pay attention to the diary, the rest is none of his business. I will only be in the third grade next year.
If this matter is handed over to a reporter to report, it should look like this:
At the invitation of Mr. Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts, Ted, an outstanding student and winner of the Special Contribution Award, paid a friendly visit to the principal's office for the first time at the end of May.
The two sides had comprehensive exchanges on the relationship between teachers and students, as well as cooperation in various fields such as the positions, emotions, and values of the two parties, and reached an agreement on the issue of Tom's senior diary of common concern.
The two parties recalled the harmonious scene when they entered school two years ago, and agreed to further deepen the cooperation between teachers and students when the magic society is undergoing profound changes.
Both parties are satisfied with the progress and depth of magic learning, lively and cautious, serious and serious attitude, and reiterated that it is very important to be cautious about the attitude of learning black magic.
Both sides emphasized that Voldemort's defeat was an inevitability of history and the unanimous choice of the wizarding world.
As a kind teacher-student partner, the two sides have a high degree of trust in each other, and the friendship between teachers and students is precious in the life of both parties.
Dumbledore congratulated the outstanding student Ted on the successful conclusion of the salty fishnet held in Diagon Alley, and wished Ted and his friends greater achievements in building a prosperous and prosperous British magical society.
Ted is determined to work with Dumbledore to continue to stabilize the order of the magic world...
…
Solving the problem of Dumbledore's suspicion, Ted was greatly relieved.
As long as you are still at Hogwarts, or as long as you are still in the wizarding world of Great Britain, you cannot avoid Dumbledore.
Now that Dumbledore has expressed his trust and support for him, he can take a bigger step.
In the past, I was just a Hogwarts student, an orphan in a Muggle orphanage, without any support.
But it’s different now, at least I have Dumbledore’s shadow behind me. Although I can’t directly pull the tiger’s skin as a banner, but with this relationship, at least I won’t be flattened and rounded at will.
Even if Fudge, the Minister of Magic, wants to make a fuss about himself, he has to weigh Dumbledore's attitude.
Without affecting his official position, Fudge wished he would never have contact with Dumbledore for the rest of his life. He was actually very afraid of Dumbledore.
I am especially wary of Dumbledore's sudden election for the Minister of Magic. I am afraid that if Dumbledore speaks out, he will be impeached and resigned that day.
Not to mention, Ted now has a hidden ally behind him, and that is the Malfoy family.
Oh, by the way, I am still the business partner of the Black family - the magic smooth shampoo business.
Like the protagonist in many novels, he is obviously very strong, but when he arrives in a strange world, he often hits a wall, as if God (the author) is against him.
But to integrate into a new environment, what is necessary is to establish a network of contacts. Otherwise, there will be a situation where the strong dragon does not suppress the local snake, and everything goes wrong.
Not to mention that Ted is just a little dragon now~
