v7 Chapter 16： Tom who made the cut

After entering Ilvermorny Castle, William met another middle-aged wizard in the corridor.

The wizard was tall, more than two meters tall, muscular, middle-aged and bald, a little like Guoda Statham.

He looks more like a boxer than a wizard.

William just glanced at him and smiled: "Professor Fontana, good evening."

Agilbert Fontana is a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, a position he has held for twenty years.

This time span is enough for Hogwarts to replace dozens of one-time professors.

But Fontana didn't give William, or rather... didn't give Professor Targaryen a good face.

He glanced at the girl behind William, snorted in dissatisfaction, squeezed his fist, then turned and left.

"..." I was intimidated when I came to Ilvermorny.

Babelin had introduced interpersonal relationships, but William thought about it for a while, but he still couldn't remember why Targaryen, the little vest, offended Fontana.

He pointed at the safety watch and whispered:

"Why don't you have a daughter? Babelin!"

William no longer needs to be called a professor, which shows how frantic he is.

"Fontana's daughter is pretty, but she's too nerdy." Babelin's voice came in a playful voice.

"After talking about it for a week, I dumped it and gave her a failed Ancient Rune."

"…"

"Oh, yes." Babbling's voice came leisurely: "Fontana and you are still competitors.

He had always wanted to take over as headmaster after the retirement of Professor Eulalie Hicks. "

"…"

So... not only did you soak your colleague's daughter, but you also dumped the other party, and now you are competing with others for the position of principal?

William felt a little pain in his head and needed to slow down.

The living environment of my little vest is really bad!

Is he sure he won't be stabbed to death one morning, like Brother Cheng...?

Forget it, for your own safety, let's go back to Hogwarts and be a beloved Stark.

This vest, don't worry!

William sullenly crossed the corridor and entered the ancient rune office.

The rectangular room, with a soaring arc barrel-vaulted ceiling, made William feel like he was entering a giant treasure chest.

On both sides of the wall, there are a large number of books, showing a strong cultural atmosphere.

It's all Babling's facade, and her Hogwarts office is full of cucumber chips.

Entering the room, Babu Ling also came out of the safety table and poured herself a cup of dragon blood.

She took a full sip through the long glass straw and smiled contentedly.

"My body is still the best, and I become like you every day. I feel like I'm a little perverted."

William rolled his eyes.

Are you not perverted enough?

With a crystal goblet, Babbling was lying on a rattan chair, swaying and babbling.

William's eyes were bright and he began to stare at her.

To be more precise, it was staring at the lapis lazuli amulet on her chest like suet and jade.

The pattern above is of a snake wrapped around a scepter.

But here comes the problem:

Is this a magic item from Slytherin, or did her Gaunt dad get it from Reaper?

Hermione walked to the window, opened the window, stuck her head out, and saw a huge snakewood.

It was covered with buds and seemed to be about to bloom.

William stood beside Hermione and watched carefully for a while.

Babelin's voice came slowly from behind:

"The Serpentwood Wand, one of the Nine Deathly Hallows, was originally in the hands of Salazar Slytherin.

Before he left the wizarding world, he left his wand to his children.

By the early 17th century, it had become a family heirloom for the Gaunt family. "

"Because Aesop Searle couldn't stand the abuse from his aunt Gormley Gaunt, he stole the wand and took the Mayflower to the New World.

Later, Aesop buried the wand in the ground.

A year later, where the wand was buried, some unknown snakewood grew, which could not be cut down and destroyed.

A few years later, Aesop discovered that the leaves of this tree had powerful medicinal properties.

And the wand disappeared completely. "

William frowned.

It sounded a lot like the wand, which took root and grew into this snakewood.

However, William also restored the Ravenclaw crown to its factory settings and turned it into a raw material.

The wand grows into snakewood...not too hard to accept.

"So, Tom wants to cut down the tree and make it into a wand again?" William asked.

"Almost." Babbling nodded.

"Didn't you say that this tree cannot be cut and destroyed?" Hermione said suddenly.

A smile appeared at the corner of Babu Ling's mouth: "Snake wood has never bloomed."

Hermione snorted and said, "Is this what Tom Riddle did?"

"Yes." Babling put down the cup and wiped her bright red lips with a handkerchief.

"Before Aesop buried his wand, there was another unknown thing."

"Her aunt, Gormley Gaunt, discovered Aesop's whereabouts and came to America to kill her, but was killed.

The Slytherin wand, under Gormley's Parseltonian command, went into a dormant state and could no longer be used.

And Isolt doesn't speak Parseltongue, so he can't restore the wand's functionality.

But when Tom came to America, he woke up the trees with Parseltongue. "

William was a little surprised.

It seems that little Tom got a lot of things in the sanctuary of the secret room.

"What's Tom doing lately?" he asked again.

"I haven't seen him for a long time, too." Babelin shook her head.

"The snake tree still has a period of time to bloom. After he joined the purger, he has been promoted in the level."

"Promotion level?"

"Yes," explained Babrin:

"The Sweepers are an organization that opposes the Ministry of Magic. After several liquidations and betrayals, they began to go underground and infiltrate the Muggle government and the US Ministry of Magic secretly."

"In order to ensure the safety of the members, the purgers are divided into thirty-three levels in total. The higher the level, the more secrets they know.

The thirty-third level is an elite group belonging to the high-level, the core of the core.

Only at this level can you know all the secrets of the purgers and use all their power. "

"All levels below it can be obtained through promotion, only the thirty-third level is controlled.

Must be invited to advance. "

Babbling smiled and said, "Tom is already thirty-two, and he is working hard for the last step."

William narrowed his eyes and sounded, why did he sound so Freemason?

"As for where he will be now, you can go to this place to find it." Barbra threw an address.

After William took it, he looked at the address carefully and put it in his pocket.

Of course he had to find little Tom, and the two had not seen each other for four years since they parted ways in the secret room.

Strange to panic!
