v2 Chapter 39： Live the way you hate the most

"It turned out to be an interview." Tom was convinced, and it was estimated that Dumbledore was a little worried, so he came to inquire about the teaching content in advance.

However, this interview should be very loose, as Dumbledore himself does not seem to interfere with what the professors teach. Professor Trelawney has been playing tricks in the astronomical tower for more than ten years, and Dumbledore didn't say anything weird. Quirrell's teaching was so rotten last semester—reading textbooks according to the script, still stuttering, and he didn't interfere.

So this position has very low requirements for Tom, so low that he just reads textbooks, and Dumbledore can let him coach.

Tom pondered for a while, "This school year, I'm going to start with my own book -- the book actually talks about a lot of practical methods for dealing with dark creatures, and I plan to let the children read these books first. ."

Dumbledore nodded.

"There is also defense against black magic, which is to defend against black magic. If you want to defend, you must first know what black magic is. I want children to understand the common black magic in the magic world and how to deal with them, and then teach them at the end. A few simple spells."

Dumbledore looked slightly surprised. "What spells do you want to teach them?"

"Except for your weapons and armor," Tom replied without thinking. "An offensive spell, a defensive spell, is enough for them."

Dumbledore had a little doubt whether the Professor Lockhart on the other side really understood these two spells - being able to use and being able to teach are two concepts, but it's not a big problem, these two spells won't produce anything What a moth.

"Also, if possible, I hope Professor you can help me find some dark creatures, and I can show the children how to deal with them."

Tom finished his general teaching ideas, "Of course, I will add a lot of in-class exams. Correspondingly, there will be less homework assignments. I personally don't like the kind of exam method where the final exam determines the grade, so I will add Midterm exams and group work…”

Among all kinds of courses, the most annoying subject is the one with a lot of things and complicated subjects. For some courses, there is a staged test at the end of the mid-term, before the mid-term, and a stage test after the mid-term. There are also group cooperation projects, experimental classes and normal grades. After a semester, it is full of presence, making you feel like you have taken this course this semester.

But hate is hate, this kind of class basically takes all kinds of things to be able to pass. There is a difference in the level of danger from those courses where the final grade is 50% and the project is 50%.

But Tom still likes the latter, so that only the end of the semester will be busy, and the rest of the time will be "safe".

But after becoming a professor, Tom still lived the way he hated the most.

However, this approach clearly exceeded Dumbledore's expectations: no Hogwarts professor had ever been so energetic before him.

"Cough, I need to remind you that you have seven grades to teach." Dumbledore calculated the workload for Tom, and he was suddenly a little worried that this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor's way of leaving the field was sudden death from overwork.

"It doesn't matter, leave it to me!" Tom's way of thinking confidently-teaching pressure? nonexistent! With so many students at his disposal, he won't get tired.

"Okay." Dumbledore saw that his dissuasion was ineffective, so he complied: the big deal was to ask Madam Pomfrey to give him a few more potions to replenish his energy.

Tom left Dumbledore's office. But when he returned to his office, he saw an open door and empty drawers.

Tom's brows twitched, something unexpected, something unexpected.

But it's not a big problem.

He already had a plan for this.

Currently, Tom has countless things to deal with: the stolen diary, the secret room, the preparation of lessons...

If you have a bunch of things to do, how do you assign the order? Is it by the difficulty of things? Of course not, it definitely depends on the priority of the matter. Right now, the most important thing is to get rid of the basilisk in the secret room. Without the basilisk, Riddle is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out.

Just like playing a game, a new map has peculiar environmental factors: lightning strikes and continuous deduction of blood. In this map, you have triggered three or four tasks, one of which can remove the negative effects of the map, so it is naturally the priority to complete this. Tasks that can address negative effects.

Basilisks play such a role.

The Basilisk is in the secret room, and if you want to solve it, you need to open the secret room-the method and location of the secret room need to be opened. Tom knows the location, and the only thing missing is the Parseltongue.

Parseltongue, the language used by snakes and serpent-like creatures, the extended meaning of the word refers to a person who can communicate with snakes. It's a rare genetic gift, and almost all Parseltongue can be traced back to a famous dark wizard -- Harry could say it's because of Voldemort's soul fragments. But as a language, as long as you master the pronunciation, you can communicate even if you don't know the language.

It's like if you don't know French, but your friend tells you that "hello" in French means "squeeze" and goodbye means "suck the donkey", you say "squeeze" and "suck the donkey" to the French, and they can too. understand.

Tom does not have the blood of the dark wizard, and naturally he does not have the innate talent for Parseltongue. He had tried to find a "dictionary" and memorize the pronunciation to open the secret room, but failed.

So he decided to find another way: as a human, it is normal for me to not understand snake language, but what if I become a snake?

Parseltongue is not just the language of snakes, but also snake-like creatures - runes can communicate through Parseltongue. Birds and snakes are naturally within this range.

But now there's a problem: there's not enough space on Tom's Soul Ring.

His soul ring, which can reproduce five magical creatures, is now full: wizard, three-headed dog, phoenix, unicorn and fire dragon. If you want to engrave the bird snake, you need to replace one.

Tom almost did not hesitate to replace the wizard Lockhart - the rest are hard to add: the fire dragon is said to have been sent back to the fire dragon sanctuary by Newt; the three-headed dog Lou Wei was adopted by Newt; the phoenix In Dumbledore's office, it was inconvenient to pick it up; the unicorn was deep in the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid and Voldemort struggled to find it.

Compared to these, Lockhart in the office is fairly easy to get.

But Tom was not in a hurry to "wash off" the Lockhart form, and went to Hagrid's hut ahead of time, and bought a few sturdy big roosters from him, each weighing six or seven pounds. Hagrid asked him the reason, but Tom prevaricates it on the grounds of teaching effectiveness.

Basilisks are strange creatures. They will run for their lives as soon as they hear the crowing of a rooster, because the crowing of a rooster is also deadly to it. Since the rooster is so deterrent, there is no reason why Tom should not bring these treasures to snakes. Tool.

After buying the rooster, he took out his teapot and copied the shape of the bird and snake.

Everything is ready! You can go to the secret room.

The entrance to the secret room is in "Myrtle's Bathroom".

Myrtle's bathroom is also a famous "attraction" of Hogwarts. This bathroom is located on the second floor of the castle, and there is a ghost in it: Weeping Myrtle.

Weeping Myrtle, whose real name was Myrtle Elizabeth Warren, was a Muggle-born witch who attended Ravenclaw at Hogwarts in the 1940s, but sadly, she was there During this period, he was subjected to school violence because of his appearance.

She lost her life in 1943 when she accidentally bumped into Tom Riddle summoning a basilisk.

After her death, she turned into a ghost and lingered near this bathroom, where she kept losing her temper and splashing water everywhere. The students kept away from this bathroom, preferring to suffocate to death. Come to this bathroom.

However, there are also some little wizards who take full advantage of the inaccessibility here and go here to do some things that violate the school rules - such as preparing illegal potions.

However, Myrtle's behavior caused the other little wizards to stay away from the entrance of this secret room. Of course, there is no safety hazard even if you come here every day to use the toilet...

However, although it is very safe, the thought of a big monster a few thousand meters below the buttocks is still very uncomfortable.

In the afternoon, the little wizards stayed in the common room of their academy, and no one would go to the second floor where the library is located, which gave Tom a chance He pushed a small cart while no one was there. Came to Myrtle's bathroom.

There were seven big roosters, each of which weighed six or seven pounds, adding up to forty or fifty pounds, and each of them was energetic and lively. If they were packed in ordinary sacks, Tom's small body would not be able to control them at all. It has to be said that Hagrid is very generous in his dealings with people. Seven such beautiful big roosters are said to be teaching aids.

In order to prevent the roosters from crowing, Tom asked Hagrid to bind all the roosters with their mouths, wings and claws in advance and stuff them into cages.

Tom walked into Myrtle's bathroom and heard the sound of the door opening. Myrtle jumped out of the innermost toilet tank, and Tom saw this ghost for the first time.

Myrtle's figure is that of a short, stout girl, and although her face is half-obscured by long hair and pearl-colored glasses, her expression is visibly gloomy and melancholy.

Seeing Tom, she immediately screamed and growled, "Who's here? This is the girls' bathroom!"

But after seeing Tom's face, her attitude changed, and she giggled, "Oh? Face? Why are you here?"

Although Myrtle was just a ghost, Tom didn't want to be stared at by her.

So he gave Myrtle a white look, "I'm here, and it has nothing to do with you."

This attitude angered Myrtle, who screamed and rushed down a toilet, splashing the water as high as the ceiling.

"If you die here, it has something to do with here! Wait and share this toilet with me!"
