Chapter 212： Meet the old and new tom

Lynn cleaned up the lecture notes on the podium, put up the cage with the elves, and sent these elves as class props back to Hagrid's cabin.

"Thank you Hagrid, how much is the approximate cost of these small house rentals?"

Hagrid waved his hand: "No need to pay Lockhart. They were given to me for free by the wizards of Cornwall. These little things are not likable at all. Those people are worried about how to deal with them, maybe let go. Going to the Forbidden Forest is a good choice."

Lynn shrugged. He and Hagrid had different views on this point. Although the Forbidden Forest is large, it has been divided into various creatures after so long. This group of elves must be put in. They won't abide by the rules of the forbidden forest, and they will probably die by then.

He has no sympathy for this. These little elves are not kind at all. They are naturally fond of making troubles. They do not have independent thoughts and consciousness like fairies or house elves. They are put in the forbidden forest and they die by themselves. died.

"By the way Lockhart, what were you going to do in a hurry in the corridor on the first floor of the castle last time? I called you for a long time, but you didn't hear it."

Lynn looked up and recalled: "Sorry Hagrid, you know I just gave class to the students, and this week was very busy. On the first floor, I guess I was in the sixth grade at the time. The time was a little too rushed and I didn't notice."

"Yes, being a professor is very busy." Lynn could hear the envy in Hagrid's words, "Especially the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is a class that every little wizard must take in grades one to seven. You have the most lessons per lesson. There can only be two colleges, and a total of seven grades in four colleges, and at least 14 classes a week."

"It's really not easy, but this is what a professor does every day, isn't it?"

Lynn took the cup of hot tea he handed over from Hagrid, and chatted: "I heard that Professor Silvanus Kettleborn from the Magical Animals Conservation Class has submitted an application for retirement to Dumbledore this year. It is estimated that this position will be vacant next year. I think you can fight for this position with your abilities. Dumbledore will probably agree."

"Oh! You and I want to go to Lockhart!" Hagrid said excitedly, "I'm ready to write a report. There should be no problem with Dumbledore, it just depends on whether the school board can pass."

"There shouldn't be any problems." Lynn said with a smile.

If old John goes well, then it is estimated that at the end of this semester, he will have obtained all the seats on the school board. Isn't Hagrid's application for the professor at that time a matter of his?

Lynn didn't communicate with Hagrid for too long. There was another first-year defense class under him. After drinking the tea in his hand, he left Hagrid's cabin.

There is a long break between two classes at Hogwarts. Lynn drank a cup of hot tea at Hagrid. After arriving in the first-grade classroom, only one student came here.

is a first-year girl from Ravenclaw. Lynn has a bit of an impression of her, and her name is Beshird Fontana.

The girl’s body was obviously not very well, and her face was a bit abnormally pale. Last class, when he was giving the first class to the first-grade wizard, Lynn called her up to answer questions, and she even felt like she was Looks like fainting at any time.

But the students of Ravenclaw, especially the little witch, are very easy to learn. When Lynn came to the classroom, he saw Behild sitting in his seat, reading a magic book seriously.

"Black Magic: A Guide to Self-Defense", Lynn saw the name of the book. This year's defense textbook did not include it. Obviously this little girl bought it herself out of interest.

"Can I continue to ask you a question, Professor?" Seeing Lynn walking into the classroom, Behilde put down the textbook in his hand, and said with a little shyness.

Lynn smiled: "Of course you can, but why use the word continuation? I remember you didn't seem to ask me any questions before, did you?"

Behird grabbed the braid that was hanging on her shoulders, and whispered: "I met you once in front of the girls bathroom on the first floor. At that time, I asked you about the nature of black magic. You seem to be very busy, and told me that the essence of black magic is the evil thoughts of wizards when using magic, and then hurriedly left, let me come to you again next time."

Lynn frowned. He seriously recalled his experience in the past few days. Although he was really busy, he was not busy enough to forget such impressive things.

He rummaged through every corner of his mind, but he didn't remember when he met Behilde.

There is no need for the little girl to lie about this matter. The answer she said at the time was like her own words.

Linn’s black magic theory was taught to him by Professor Fox, and Professor Fox’s research on black magic paid the most attention to the wizard’s emotions when casting spells, and Lynn inevitably followed his philosophy.

And this concept is not recognized by most wizards in the magical world, because black magic itself is a taboo. Few people study this kind of thing except for black wizards, so the essence of black magic is the evil thoughts of wizards when using magic. This kind of words, the whole Hogwarts is also only Linn can say.

"When did you remember that?"

Behirard remembered this very clearly: "It was the morning of the second day of school."

Lynn can be sure that he didn't meet with Behirard at that time, because Xiaobu complained to him on the night of the first day of school.

Insert, I’m really good, it’s worth installing, even Android and Apple phones support it!

Said that he could not restrain his habits, pretending that he was not like him, Ian and Cedric seemed to be suspicious, so he changed back to his original identity that morning and Ian and the others were by the Black Lake. Practicing the spell, he didn't pass through any bathroom at all.

This incident revealed an oddity, and Lynn thought for a long time but didn't figure out what was going on.

"Professor..." The somewhat shy Behirard interrupted his thoughts, "Can you continue to answer my questions?"

Lynn set aside this one beforehand and began to help the little girl answer her questions.

"This is actually an unanswered question. Miss Fontana, every wizard who has studied black magic has his own answer in his heart. It is called black magic because when the wizard uses magic, the essence is to hurt others. If your heart is filled with the desire to hurt or kill, then even if it is a simple descaling spell, it It's also black magic."

"That is to say, is the evil of magic determined by the wizard himself?" Behird asked.

"Yes, magic is an ideal thing. How it depends on you."

"That..." Behird lowered his head, "Then what if you are using magic to hurt others for your own revenge?"

She raised her head again, her green eyes full of curiosity: "For example, someone killed my mother, and I used black magic on the person who killed my mother in order to get revenge. Then my thoughts and emotions are also at this time. evil?"

Lin En narrowed his eyes, he took a serious look at the girl and shook his head.

"This question of yours has nothing to do with magic. Miss Fontana. If I answer you according to the essence of black magic, then no matter what purpose you have, as long as you want to use a certain kind of magic to harm others, it is still black. Magic. But if we look at this issue in accordance with normal human ethics, revenge for relatives is definitely not evil. On the contrary, countless legends have been singing the praises of this matter since ancient times."

Behirard looked at Lynn and smiled sweetly: "Thank you for your answering professor."

"It doesn't matter, this is my responsibility. I will not ask you about it, but as your teacher I have something to remind you."

Lynn looked straight into her eyes, "No matter what you do, you have to do what you can, and find the right way. Don't do the right thing in the first place. Instead, you end up on the wrong path."

"I will remember your words."

This little girl obviously has her own story, but there are more people in this world who have stories. She didn't ask herself to help Lynn and didn't want to intervene.

At this time, it was not long before the class began. People in the classroom had already arrived one after another. Lynn stopped chatting with Behird and walked onto the podium.

"Okay, now we start class."

......

Lynn said to Behirard that he had been taken seriously by seeing him.

After that, he asked some people again, but now he has classes every day except weekends. Basically, he is walking around the castle every day. Many people have seen him, so no one can provide Lynn with anything. Valuable clues.

Without any clues for the time being, Lynn first moved his mind away from this aspect and devoted himself to another important matter.

He hasn't forgotten what originally happened at Hogwarts this year.

The little sister of the Weasley family, Ginny Weasley, was bewitched by Tom’s diary and reopened the Slytherin’s secret room. The basilisk hidden in it was released, causing the entire castle to be upset. The entire semester.

And now through Linn's pre-arrangement, the diary has fallen into his hands, and Linn only knows three ways to destroy the Horcrux.

This year, he originally planned to use the basilisk thing to gain a wave of prestige for himself, and he could use the basilisk's fangs to destroy the diary.

No one will open the secret room now, so no little wizard will be killed again. If Lynn rushes to the secret room and pinches the basilisk to death and then takes it out, the effect is definitely not as good as Hogwarts in the original book. Throughout the year, it was as remarkable as being killed by Harry Potter to gain prestige.

But in this way, Lynn is already content. Although he is not a good person, he is now a professor at Hogwarts. He uses the lives of the children in the castle as a bargaining chip to improve his reputation. Lynn admits Can't do it.

"Really, is this thing really a diary left by me when I grow up? It's too scary! Why is there such an evil thing in this world?" The spherical Tom was in disbelief on Lynn's desk. Said.

He and the diary have always been in Lynn's pockets, and the two flexible people who belonged to the same person have certainly seen each other.

This is also what Lynn deliberately did. He didn't take the initiative to separate Tom from the diary. He just wanted to see how he was exposed to the evil side. Now it seems to be the brainwashed Tom's reaction.

"Do you know what he was persuading me to do? He actually asked me to cooperate with him inside and outside to open the hidden secret room of Hogwarts Reitherin, coax you to let you release the monster inside, and then let the monster kill you and this school Muggle-born wizard!"

Just as Lynn took Tom out of his pocket that day, he sold his diary.

and it was sold quite thoroughly. Lynn couldn't help but feel wronged for the remnant soul of Voldemort in the diary.

The diary, which was spread out on the table, had been with Tom in Lynn's pocket for so long, and found that there was something wrong with his soul.

A line slowly emerged on the blank page:

[What did you do to me? 】

This is the first communication between Tom's Remnant Soul and Lynn. As soon as he came up, he directly asked the key to the question.

"I didn't do anything to you, you are you, and his future will not become like you again, but will be better."

The text on the diary disappeared, Tom's remnant soul was silent for a long time, and a line of text appeared on it again.

[What do you desire? 】

Want to confuse me?

Lynn instantly saw through what Tom was thinking in the diary He said with a sneer.

"I long for Nako, do you have one?"

Tom in the diary hasn't answered yet, so Tom on the table is not happy.

"You changed to Lynn. You told me that only the lowest-end wizards desire money and Nako, and all the real wizards want is knowledge."

"Cough cough cough..."

Being taught by Tom like this gave Lynn a feeling of lifting a rock and hitting himself in the foot. He coughed twice and explained: "I was teasing him. Anyway, he can't have Nako."

[I can let you know...]

Before Tom in the diary had finished speaking, Lynn closed it with a snap.

He thought he could still withstand Tom’s bewitching in the fifth grade, but the Horcrux was also very evil. In order to prevent the ship from overturning in the gutter, Lynn kept the diary in his pocket all the time and did not give it to him. The opportunity for him to communicate with himself.

Just like Lynn taught in class, no matter what kind of enemy you face, if you underestimate the enemy, it means you have lost half.

He didn't think that with his current strength, the basilisk in the secret room could be at his disposal.

Besides, the basilisk has many weaknesses, and it doesn't take much effort to prepare in advance.

Lynn has made an appointment with Hagrid in advance these days and will ask him to borrow a rooster for a while, and he has been deliberately practicing the eye disease curse recently.
