[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

"Would you like a cookie, Tom?"

Pushing open the wooden door of the principal's office, Dumbledore pointed to the chair opposite and motioned for him to sit down. He also pushed the square biscuit box on the table and asked kindly.

"I'd like another piece of magic apple pie if I could," said Tom.

Dumbledore laughed, took out his strange-shaped wand and knocked on the table, and a large plate of steaming, precariously piled magic apple pie appeared on the table.

"Please," Dumbledore said, putting away his wand before Tom could look away.

He waited patiently for Tom to finish the pie in his hand, and did not take the initiative to talk about business. So Tom had to swallow the pie in two mouthfuls, wiped his mouth, and asked: "You asked me here today because of Umbridge..." He hesitated for a while, but added the title, "Umbridge." Is it about Professor Rich?”

"Ah, well," Dumbledore blinked, "I thought there were issues more worthy of your concern at the moment." He stood up, walked around the huge desk with claw feet, and walked to Tom, walking as he did. Said: "Tom - I mean another Tom - wrote to me and said you needed a wand custom-made, and... he specified that the wand would have a yew casing and that the inner core needed would be from Fox. feather."

Two pairs of blue eyes of different shades stared at each other quietly for a moment.

Oops, back stab, see back stab again. Tom thought he had taken the lead and publicly mocked the Dark Lord's recent attempts to clear his name. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the Dark Lord stabbed him in the back and hinted to Principal Dumbledore that he might be a Horcrux?

Is this to further irritate Dumbledore? For an underage student, even if it was Voldemort's Horcrux, it would be difficult for Dumbledore to take action... If he didn't take action, Dumbledore would have to watch another Voldemort grow up before his eyes, even if he won. The Dark Lord will have to watch this "little Voldemort" who has not done any evil yet make waves in the magical world again with a new starting point...

This wave, this wave is a mind-attacking technique.

Of course, this can also be explained as the Dark Lord just prefers his student, so he ordered him to customize a wand that is the same as his own. But if there was a real preference, why would Tom be allowed to use a wand that he didn't feel comfortable with? If Tom is also very comfortable with this wand made of yew wood and phoenix tail feathers... does it mean that Tom's temperament is also a future Dark Lord? This is to declare that he won the game with Dumbledore.

And even if Tom returns to school and intends to get closer to the White Devil, Dumbledore will be on guard as soon as the Dark Lord's letter arrives. No matter how he suppresses it with reason, Tom's sensitivity and pride are enough to cut off the possibility of their reconciliation. .

However, even the Dark Lord did not calculate that although his letter was sent on the first day of school, Tom and Harry directly asked Dumbledore before the Triwizard Tournament dinner last semester. Lido explained the matter about the Horcrux - after the Dark Lord speculated that after a year in the enemy's camp, there must be a process of testing each other first, and then they may contact each other and try to rebuild the old relationship - but...Gryffin Fifty points more!

The two Gryffindors, who neither looked like Gryffindor, looked at each other with a smile for a while, and then the older one touched his beard and said: "So I think we'd better study Fawkes' current situation first. situation."

Tom unbuttoned his shirt to reveal his Fox tattoo. Fox's dark eyes rolled, and then he kept looking at the magic apple pie on the table.

"Long time no see, Fawkes." Dumbledore greeted Phoenix, and with Tom's consent, he stretched out his left hand and gently nodded Phoenix's head.

Strange...why the left hand?

When he saw Dumbledore using his wand just now, Tom felt something was a bit awkward. This time, with Dumbledore standing in front of him, he noticed that Dumbledore's right hand had been hidden in his wide sleeve.

"headmaster?"

"You noticed..." Dumbledore said with a smile, as if the terrible blackened hand was not his, "This is a thrilling story, and I hope to choose a better time to unfold it. "

Tom's mist curiously opened a little bit of Dumbledore's sleeves, and then Fox moved his eyes intelligently, and a golden-red phoenix fire suddenly exploded at the end of the small restless mist, burning the mist Startled, he shook suddenly——

"Ehehehe——" Tom, who was frightened, shouted out reflexively, "Ten thousand curses——"

"Don't worry, Tom." Dumbledore quickly stretched out his charred hand and easily extinguished the flames with his bare hands, "You're with me."

"Sorry!" Tom had jumped up. "They sometimes-"

"No, no, no, I don't think it's their problem." Dumbledore even stretched out his hand, picked up a depressed semi-illusory tentacle with interest, and shook hands with it. "I think this is Fox's kindness -" He looked at the phoenix, which closed its black eyes and started to pretend to be dead. Seeing its expression, he couldn't help but laugh, and said: "Fox, my old friend, we completely know that you are Out of the best of intentions—"

Tom couldn't help but glance at Dumbledore's hand quickly, and found that the blackened hand seemed to be getting better after extinguishing the Phoenix Fire.

Can you be healed by the phoenix fire? Tom immediately thought of the dead energy that stubbornly resided in his magic.

"Is it that dog?" he couldn't help asking.

"Well, this is not the focus of today." Dumbledore skilfully skipped the topic again, "Let me take a look... The phoenix is ​​a magical creature, you know that, right?"

"..." Tom, who was perplexed by such a basic question, was speechless for a moment, and then replied: "Of course."

"The reason why the phoenix with its immortal body is in its current form is because its original body was destroyed in the conflict of forces, and the remaining magic power——"

"Helping me maintain my balance again." Tom finished for him.

"So, as long as you input enough pure magic power, it will be easy for Fox to fly high again. The real difficulty lies in the balance of magic power in your body." Dumbledore said, "My suggestion is that this time we only input Part of the magic power makes Fox's tail feathers manifest so that you can get the wand."

"Uh..." Tom hesitated. This method doesn't sound very friendly to Fox. It can obviously get it out of trouble, but it has to continue to be trapped on him.

But there seems to be no better way. Although he possesses the Resurrection Stone, he cannot yet control it.

"If you agree," Dumbledore said, looking down at Fawkes, "just wink."

The phoenix tattoo blinks the eyes fast and furious.

Dumbledore laughed: "Fawkes does like you very much."

He cut his palm, and his bloody palm covered the head with the phoenix tattoo.

"Principal?" Tom asked in surprise.

"Well, it's okay," Dumbledore said easily, "I'll be fine soon." The magical blood of the Dumbledore family dripped down, lighting up every line of the phoenix tattoo in turn. Accompanied by the burning golden light, a gorgeous phoenix tail feather slowly took on physical form and was picked off by Dumbledore.

"I will send it to Garrick and ask him to customize a wand for you." Dumbledore put away the phoenix tail feathers, then waved the wand to clean up the remaining blood.

"Okay, then there's another thing..." Dumbledore sat down again. "If you don't plan to take the Defense Against the Dark Arts course next time," he said seriously, "Follow the school's rules for handling similar matters. For the process, your guardian should submit an application for exemption——"

He winked at Tom.

"——Then the professor teaching the course will decide whether to sign and agree, and then submit it to the principal, which is me, for review and signature."

"Okay." Tom knew full well that this guardian definitely did not refer to his parents - only the Dark Lord who blatantly occupied his guardianship could make Umbridge bow down.

"Can't-" He couldn't help but ask, but before he finished asking, Dumbledore shrugged and said: "Think about where she comes from and why she comes, Tom."

"Okay." Tom also knew that he was talking like a child. The Dark Lord and the Ministry of Magic officials who fantasized about appeasing the Dark Lord to maintain the illusion of peace could tolerate him as a special case at most - and only if he could convince the Dark Lord. Under the premise of the Demon King - it is impossible to remove Umbridge. In other words, if one Umbridge is removed, someone like Chirimu or Mliumuqi who is better at making people uncomfortable may be sent in. 7K妏揩

"Okay, I won't waste your time any more, Tom." Dumbledore raised a finger, and the door to the principal's office opened. "I think you still have to save your energy to deal with a more difficult person." Where's the guy?" He said pointedly, and packed up the remaining magic apple pie on the table and stuffed it into Tom's hand.
