Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

 Chapter 286 Riddle’s second request

 “What’s the content of the first ancient runes lesson?”

 Early the next morning, at the dining table in the auditorium, Cedric thought for a moment and said: "I remember it was quite difficult... No, I should say that the most difficult class in the entire school year was the first class."

"Professor Babuling must have talked about the application of magic script in alchemy..." Qiu asked with a strange expression: "There are also those writing methods that represent different meanings."

But to her surprise, Cedric immediately shook his head and said: "No...that is something that only fifth graders need to learn. How can it be taught in third grade?"

"That you…"

“Professor Babulin told us about the evolution of the runes... and what they originally looked like.”

Cedric showed a very painful expression, "You can't imagine how complicated those magic texts were before they were simplified... To be honest, it was the first time. I felt like I didn't remember anything in class."

 “That’s right.” Fred and George next to them nodded in unison.

 “It was a nightmare.”

“I felt like a stunted troll…”

Qiu glanced at the three of them with empathy. She had also experienced this feeling not long ago.

At this time, Kyle suddenly asked: "How many of you chose that course at that time?"

“A dozen or so, I forgot the details.”

Cedric thought for a while and said: "But this is not important, because Professor Babling said that if you don't want to take ancient runes, you can change the course.

 So by the second week of class, there were only nine people left in the classroom. "

 “Almost seven.”

Fred said: "When we walked to Professor McGonagall's office, we suddenly hesitated..."

“I decided to take another lesson for the future Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes.” George said with a smile.

 “Fortunately we think so…”

"Because the content of the second lesson is normal. Although it is still difficult...but at least we can understand it."

“Is this the case for you guys?” Cedric asked.

"Except for the different content, everything else is the same, including the ability to change classes." Qiu sighed: "But I don't understand why Professor Babling did this."

"I don't know..." Fred thought for a while, "Although some people say that Professor Babling wanted to have students from grades three to seven take classes together and deliberately reduced the number of people in each grade, this is obviously impossible. "

“We all learn different contents, so it is impossible to teach them together.” George said: “Percy is reading “Advanced Magic Texts Translation”, while we are still reading “A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts”.

“Perhaps the first lesson will be Professor Babling’s test.”

Cedric said: "Learning magic texts is destined to be a boring and tedious process, and you must have enough patience to persevere.

  She probably wanted to use this method to eliminate those who were not suitable so that they would not waste their time. "

 “Of course, this is just my guess.”

Cedric took a sip of pumpkin juice and continued: "We know too little about Professor Babling. After all, except for classes and various holiday banquets, she almost never shows up, and she doesn't even go to Quidditch matches. Pass."

  In the next period of time, several people began to discuss how difficult the magic script was, but how interesting it was after learning it...

Kyle was listening nearby, trying his best to act similar to them without looking too proud.

 At this time, the benefits of having a "tutor" became apparent. Riddell was patient, capable, and had a very comprehensive understanding of magic texts.

 With his help, Kyle made many detours and learned very efficiently.

I didn’t think it was anything before, but now it’s different when I compare it... The problems Cedric and the others encountered couldn’t be simpler in Kyle’s opinion. In other words, Riddle's diary is Voldemort's study notes from that year.

 It’s just that this notebook has become a bit tricky recently. Not only does it need to be carefully screened when using it, but it also went out of work a few days ago, and I don’t know when it will be restored.

Thinking of this, Kyle finished his breakfast quickly, went to the Room of Requirement as usual, greeted Riddle in the box, and asked about his situation with concern.

 He has been doing this for the past few days, but Riddle has never replied.

Kyle actually didn’t have much hope today. He habitually closed the diary after writing a sentence.

 But what is surprising is that Riddle did not continue to pretend to be dead and responded to him quickly.

I'm sorry... When you read the newspaper to me that day, the magic of the diary seemed to suddenly run out. 】

Kyle picked up the quill with some surprise.

 "Are you okay, Tom? I'm worried about you."

　　【Well, luckily you have been writing to me with dragon blood lately. 】

　　【What are we learning today? It has been neglected for so long, and I can't wait to learn it. 】

Whether it was the story made up by Kyle or the news that Voldemort died as a baby, it seemed that it had no impact on Riddle.

 He didn't even ask about anything else.

 As if Voldemort is just an insignificant passerby, it doesn't matter whether he dies or not.

But Riddle said so, and Kyle couldn’t live up to his good intentions.

 “Then continue learning magic words.”

　　【I guess that's it, you really like magic text. 】

 …

But it didn’t take long to study this time.

 Because there will be classes soon, Kyle will have to leave at 8:50.

　　【Time is always so fast. 】

 Before closing the diary, Riddle made another request.

  【If possible, could you bring some animals next time? 】

"Animals?" Kyle frowned slightly and wrote: "Do you still need to eat? I can get the cooked food directly from the kitchen."

　　　No, I don’t need to eat. I just loved magical beasts, even when I was in school, so I wanted to see them again. 】

  【It doesn’t need to be very rare, just a fairy or Bowtruckle will do, and it can be easily found by the Forbidden Forest. 】

Kyle hesitated, "But Tom, can you see them?"

　　【Of course, you just put them in the diary and I can see them. 】

“Then…well, I’ll go to the Forbidden Forest to take a look at the weekend.”

Kyle agreed casually and quickly left the Room of Requirement.

Riddle's desire for animals must have nothing to do with liking animals, but Kyle didn't have time to guess what he thought.

There are still five minutes left before the first Transfiguration class. If he is late... Tsk, an angry Professor McGonagall is much scarier than Voldemort.
