Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 383 The Most Genius Little Wizard!!

Toby won the Most Promising Newcomer Award for Transfiguration Today, much to Professor McGonagall’s delight.

At every Transfiguration Club event, Professor McGonagall had complained more than once that Hogwarts had not had a student to win the award in several years, and had repeatedly hinted at Tobinu’s efforts.

Now that Toby’s paper has won the Most Promising Newcomer Award in Transfiguration Today, Professor McGonagall is naturally very relieved and no longer looks at Toby with that resentful look.

Time flew by, and it was Friday again.

Every Friday evening, Toby would go to the headmaster’s office and be taught by the headmaster Dumbledore.

“Good evening, Professor Dumbledore.”

Toby, as usual, came to the headmaster’s office, greeted Dumbledore, and sat down on the chair in front of the desk, which was almost his exclusive seat.

Every time he came to the principal’s office, he would sit in this chair.

“Good evening, Toby.”

Dumbledore responded with a smile, and prepared a pot of water and a pot of sweet and greasy black tea and some candy snacks.

The pot of clear water was for Toby, and the pot of sweet black tea and candy snacks was prepared for himself.

“Seriously, Professor Dumbledore, are you really not going to use a little less sweets? Eating too many sweets can cause diabetes, which is also very bad for teeth, and too many sweets can also make people fat. ”

“Being too obese is not good for our body, and it can even cause a variety of diseases.”

Every time Toby watched Dumbledore stuff a handful of candy into his mouth, he felt that the whole person was not good, and the sweet taste was simply numb.

He didn’t know why Dumbledore loved sweets so much, could he be a bee reincarnation?

Although it is said that wizards have magical powers, after all, wizards are still humans, and as long as they are humans, they will get sick.

Some Muggles get diseases, in fact, wizards can get them.

“Toby, you know I’m over a hundred years old, and for an old man, there is nothing left for me to fear.”

“You can’t deprive an old man of his remaining hobbies, it’s cruel.”

Dumbledore said faintly.

“Actually, more than a hundred years old is not too old for wizards, Professor Dumbledore, you are now equivalent to a Muggle fifty or sixty years old, you are still very young, and you can still do a lot of things.”

Toby said that wizards generally live longer than Muggles, and if the lifespan limit of Muggles is one hundred and twenty or thirty years, wizards’ lifespans will be about a hundred years old.

“Toby, in fact, living too long is not necessarily a good thing.”

Dumbledore sighed.

“I know that because a person lives too long, then his relatives and friends will leave him one by one, and finally only a lone person will live in the world, which is a very sad thing.”

“Maybe death is not an end, just a new beginning.”

Toby said.

“Toby, I’m glad you have such a feeling, the topic of death is a cliché for an old man like me, but for you, this topic has escaped far away, and your life has just begun.”

Dumbledore said.

“That’s not necessarily, life is more accidents, maybe one second I am alive and the next second I will die, who let this world, there will never be a shortage of careerists.”

Toby said.

“Careerist! Yes, there is never a shortage of careerists in this world. ”

Dumbledore sighed.

“Toby, I haven’t congratulated you on winning the Most Promising Newcomer Award in Transfiguration Today, but Professor McGonagall praised you very well in front of me, and she felt that your Transfiguration had surpassed her.”

Dumbledore said with a smile.

“Professor McGonagall is too praiseful, in fact, I still have a lot to learn in Transfiguration.”

Toby said modestly.

“I also read your paper, the content is very novel, your ideas are even more fantastic, which wizards in the wizarding world do not have, and more importantly, this is not your conjecture, but really successful.”

Dumbledore smiled and said that he could no longer say anything about Toby, he considered himself a genius, but compared to Toby, he was still much worse.

You know, he is at Toby’s age, but he does not have such achievements as Toby, maybe Toby is really the reincarnation of Merlin, such a great magician, may only produce one in a thousand years.

“I just combined Transfiguration with alchemy and spells, and thanks to those alchemy books that Professor Dumbledore gave me, I had a lot less detours in alchemy.”

Toby said.

“Those books were given to you by Nicole Flamel, I have already written to him, he is very satisfied with you, but unfortunately he is running out of time, otherwise I would like to see you.”

Dumbledore said.

“In that case, please take me to express my gratitude to Mr. Nick Flamel, although I have not met Mr. Nicole Flamel, but in my heart, he is already my teacher.”

“I will study alchemy hard, and I hope it will live up to Mr. Nicole Flamel’s expectations.”

Toby said seriously.

“I will, I’m sure Nico will be very happy to have a disciple like you.” Dumbledore smiled and nodded. ”

“So let’s start our study for today, Toby, do you have any questions?”

Dumbledore’s expression began to become serious, just like when he was a professor at Hogwarts.

“Yes, I have a few questions that I would like to ask Professor Dumbledore.”

Toby opened the notebook he was carrying with him, which recorded many of the problems he encountered during the study process.

Dumbledore can be regarded as the most knowledgeable person in the entire Hogwarts, he has a lot of deep research, such a teacher in front of Toby, of course, he has to work hard.

Time passed quietly in the process of Toby and Dumbledore’s question and answer, whether it was Toby or Dumbledore, they were quite serious.

“Toby, you are the most talented wizard I have ever met, even the same person back then cannot be compared to you.”

After answering all the questions, Dumbledore shook his head and said,

“Is that Tom Riddle? It must have been called that, although he later changed it to Voldemort. ”

Toby said.

“Yes, Tom Riddle’s situation is somewhat similar to yours, his mother is a witch, his father is a Muggle, he is a half-blood, his mother died as soon as he was born, he grew up in a Muggle orphanage.”

Dumbledore said.

“So, he does have some similarities to me, we are both considered to have lost our parents, but I am luckier than him, I grew up in the wizarding world, and there is a house-elf to take care of my hunger.”

Toby nodded and said.

“No, you are not at all the same as him, Toby, you are very kind, but Tom has been very bad since he was a child, he will bully children in orphanages, he is very good at disguising himself, many people have been deceived by him.”

Dumbledore shook his head and said, obviously very dissatisfied with Tom Riddle.

“If you know what I do, you will find that I am more evil than Tom, and better at disguise.”

When Toby heard this, he said in his heart, of course he would never say it.

“Ugh! Professor Dumbledore, I’m not speaking for Voldemort either, but do you know why he bullied the children in the orphanage? ”

“From what I know about Muggle orphanages, they are a poor place, let alone a time of war like decades ago.”

“Children in orphanages often fight over a bite to eat, and they band together to isolate someone.”
