Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

The Christmas vacation is coming to an end. In the principal's office at Hogwarts, Russell is thinking about the wording of the letter he is about to send. In his opinion, it is necessary to teach the little wizards during this period of time. Eliminate most of the possible worries.

Next to the unfolded parchment was a picture of today's Daily Prophet. The front page headline was an animated picture of a house burning in flames. On the side was Rita Skeeter's despair and fear. And distorted face.

The content of the news is divided into two parts, one is Rita Skeeter's apology and clarification statement, and the other is the news about Rita Skeeter's room being burned down.

According to the description of the person involved, Rita Skeeter claimed to have had a magical riot that was very rare among adult wizards, so she burned down the room. The Aurors who came after her also recognized this statement.

Originally Russell just planned to use the fact that she was an illegal Animagus to blackmail him, but he didn't expect this woman to be so arrogant, thinking that she was able to talk to Russell on an equal footing because of her own ability. Power, even claiming to be the secret control of the magic world.

Now that Russell has gotten what he wants, I believe some people who are ready to act after seeing Russell take over should have been warned.

Of course, this is not enough. Russell will naturally not be like this stupid woman. He knows very well that Rita Skeeter is just a self-righteous spokesperson promoted by those pure-blood families.

Her reports in the Daily Prophet were just things released by the pure-blood families behind her to test the waters.

If they can get the support of public opinion, they will personally end it. If not, they will become outsiders who have nothing to do with it.

This is a pure-blood family. No matter whether Dumbledore or Voldemort is in charge of the wizarding world, they will always be the victor.

Soon, Russell thought of the words, and the quill on the desk started flying quickly and automatically.

[Mr. Malfoy,

You don't want Draco to get hurt at Hogwarts, do you?

If this is what you really think, I think you'll be happy to hear that this rumor has been confirmed - the monster in the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts, the basilisk left behind by Slytherin, has been dealt with.

I guarantee you that no Hogwarts student, including Draco Malfoy, will ever be harmed again by this.

By the way, I also discovered the mastermind behind it, a black diary left by a certain little wizard named Tom Riddle in 50 years.

I am very unfamiliar with this name and have no idea whether he has any connection with the rumored Dark Lord.

Recently, I had a great conversation with the hidden soul inside. He asked many times about the Malfoy family, but I did not explain it. I hope I can introduce you to them if I have the opportunity.

It's a pleasure to correspond with you.

Your good friend, Professor Carl Russell. 】

Then, the letter automatically flew to Russell's hand. After checking that it was correct, Russell smiled and snapped his fingers.

Illidan, wearing a butler's costume, appeared in a blink of an eye: "Mr. Russell, what can I do for you?"

"Illidan, deliver this letter to Mr. Lucius Malfoy, along with the trophy with Tom Riddle on it that I just took from the trophy room."

"Okay, sir," Illidan bowed politely and disappeared before blinking again.

Russell stood up, stretched and moved his body, and then took out Tom Riddle's diary.

Although there is no need to teach the little wizards during this period, they are still extremely busy.

Life is a bit like how it was in my previous life when my education group was about to go public, busy but full of hope.

Russell could feel that his various magical abilities were improving rapidly. It was estimated that by the end of this semester, most of his magical abilities would be able to break through level six.

As for the mechanics and magic of specialization, due to the improvement of other magic abilities, the control ability has been greatly improved.

In addition, there is another aspect. Russell has been trying to figure out what kind of research results Slytherin left behind, which allowed Voldemort to possess terrifying abilities comparable to Dumbledore in a short period of time.

Picking up the quill, organizing his words, Russell started writing again.

"I did find traces of Dumbledore at Hogwarts, the phoenix tail feathers. At first I thought they were the feathers left by the rooster used to deal with the basilisk, but later I found out they were the feathers of the phoenix. It's hard to imagine that the phoenix's The feathers are actually the same as those of a chicken," Russell wrote half-truthfully.

A string of writings appeared on the diary, "The Phoenix will rise from the ashes after death. I have seen Dumbledore's Phoenix look like a chicken after it is reborn from the ashes."

Russell went on to write "very restrainedly," "I will continue to investigate Dumbledore, but of course don't expect me to believe you [-] percent."

"Sooner or later, you will discover Dumbledore's secret." The diary continued.

Russell changed the topic and suddenly asked: "I'm very curious about how you were created. According to my research, your carrier was originally just an ordinary diary, but now it has such an extraordinary characteristics.”

Riddle's diary was particularly enthusiastic after Russell raised this question, and seemed to have been waiting for Russell to take the initiative to raise this issue, hoping to truly understand Russell's nature.

The words in the diary appeared faster than before, "This involves some very complicated magic. If you are interested in this, I will tell you everything I know."

As a result, each person started a cordial and friendly exchange in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere, fully exchanged opinions and enhanced their understanding of each other.

At first, Riddle's diary tried to fool Russell with some simple or even wrong knowledge, but after Russell pointed it out several times, the diary had to show some real skills.

Of course, many key parts were deliberately omitted in the diary, saying "I didn't understand it because I didn't have the relevant information injected into it at the beginning."

And Russell didn't care. What he cared more about was the research direction of the materials left by Slytherin. In his opinion, mastering the research direction meant knowing the right path, knowing the road, and how to go. Not very difficult.

In addition, the diary also gave him a special meditation technique that can enhance the power of magic. After practicing it, Russell found that this was indeed the case, but the side effect was that it would reduce the resistance to mental magic such as Legilimency.

After Russell used it deliberately once, he pretended that the first layer of memory disguise in his mind was exposed, revealing his true memory. In fact, it was just a deeper disguise.

After this exchange, Russell locked the notebook and kept thinking in his heart, my stupid little notebook...
