I abducted HP's friend on his wedding day

When Salazar learned from Dumbledore that Tom was being punished to go to Professor Lockhart, he went to watch out of curiosity.

Lockhart's name was something he had only become familiar with recently. He seemed to be a very powerful wizard, although his performance at Hogwarts was somewhat unsatisfactory, causing both Draco and Theodore to complain.

Salazar also asked Angus curiously, but in Angus's eyes, although Lockhart did look a little bad, after all, Lockhart had written a book, and even if Angus's ideas were shaky, he still felt that Lockhart was not very good. There must be something special about Hart.

Salazar became curious about the professor.

Lockhart didn't know Salazar, but when he learned that Salazar was the legendary resurrected wizard, his eyes became more interested, and he enthusiastically pulled Salazar into his office.

Tom was calmly following Lockhart's request and writing a reply to his fans.

When he saw Salazar arriving, his eyes lit up for a moment and he looked at Salazar expectantly.

Noticing Tom's eyes, Lockhart asked Salazar curiously: "Do you know Riddle, classmate?"

Salazar touched his chin, thought for a few seconds, and answered decisively: "I don't know him!"

Tom looked at Salazar in astonishment. He did not expect that Salazar would decisively choose to be strangers to him, but he did not dare to say anything. He just looked at Salazar with an aggrieved face and looked at Salazar indifferently. Sit opposite yourself.

Lockhart chuckled and handed Salazar a cup of tea.

"This was given to me by a book fan of mine. It is said that he brought tea from a distant country called May Day."

Lockhart smiled proudly, as if this was something to be happy about.

"I think this is a very precious tea. I have kept it for several years and I have been reluctant to drink it."

Sara looked at the tea that was handed to her and felt a little suspicious. He put it down with a calm expression, and then began to ask Lockhart with interest about some things he had read in the book, especially some about Lockhart's wonderful battles. The plot of the novel.

Lockhart's expression became even more eager. He probably thought that Salazar was a fan of his books, so he came to find him. He was very happy that Salazar remembered some of the plots described in his books so clearly. The two of them chatted very well. joy.

Tom stared at Salazar's side face with resentment. Seeing Salazar chatting quite congenially with Lockhart with a polite smile, he began to doubt his life.

Is there really something powerful about this Professor Lockhart?

Tom began to doubt his own vision. He really felt that Lockhart was a waste. His behavior made Tom feel that the contents of Lockhart's novels were actually lies. He also felt that he knew Lockhart's strength very well. He saw no value in Lockhart.

However, the scene before him made Tom begin to doubt his own thoughts.

Because there was no impatience in Salazar's eyes, he nodded occasionally, and some compliments came out naturally, tempting Lockhart to continue talking.

It seemed that he respected the person in front of him very much, as if Lockhart was a famous wizard.

Tom lowered his head and began to think, was there something he had overlooked?

It wasn't until dinner time that Lockhart happily invited Salazar to go to the Great Hall of Hogwarts. Before leaving, Lockhart suddenly realized that he remembered Tom and greeted him with a smile. Give Tom a try.

Tom looked at the two people in front of him and felt as if they had suddenly become good friends who talked about everything.

Is Salazar Slytherin going to take advantage of this idiot in front of him?

So what is there about this idiot that is worth taking advantage of?

Tom didn't believe that Salazar would stay up late without any benefit. He must have a purpose for Lockhart, but he hadn't thought of it yet.

When they arrived in the auditorium, everyone seemed a little surprised to see Salazar. Most people didn't know that Dumbledore had actually invited Salazar Slytherin, but then they saw Hagrid taking Remus. Lupine came to the auditorium together.

Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore, waiting for his explanation.

Snape stared at Lupine warily. Lupine noticed Snape's expression, and there was a trace of guilt in his eyes.

This was probably what Snape didn't want to see. He turned his head and looked at Dumbledore with sharp eyes.

Dumbledore smiled and explained: "Professor Brown, yes, I invited Professor Brown to start another elective course from next semester, or it can be a hobby class. Professor Brown is very good at practical magic, so I Our plan is to offer a practical magic course to students in fifth grade and above.”

This was actually an excuse that Dumbledore finally came up with. He wanted Salazar to stay at Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore with some doubts in her eyes. She didn't understand Dumbledore's purpose of doing this.

Professor Flitwick looked at Dumbledore in confusion, feeling that this sounded like he was stealing some of his lecture content.

Snape frowned. He was the Potions Professor. This didn't sound like it had much to do with him. It was just the middle of the semester. The Christmas vacation was over. When the children came back, they just added a temporary course. This is how it works. There doesn't seem to be any suitable place.

In particular, he had obviously begun to doubt Salazar's identity.

None of the professors spoke, as they seemed to be thinking about Dumbledore's intentions.

And Dumbledore just hopes to keep Salazar, keep Salazar Slytherin.

After all, that was the founder of Hogwarts.

Professor Sprout said hesitantly: "Albus, I remember Brown did not graduate from Hogwarts..."

Therefore, Salazar is actually not qualified enough to be a professor at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore also remembered this, and he glanced at Salazar with some regret.

"But you should know Brown's strength, right? Do professors at Hogwarts have to have a diploma? There has never been such a rule in the school."

Dumbledore actually had his own ideas about this. He didn't want to reject outstanding wizards from teaching children at Hogwarts just because they didn't graduate from Hogwarts.

Especially a wizard like Salazar Slytherin, that's Salazar Slytherin!

Could it be that after knowing Salazar Slytherin's identity, Dumbledore would refuse the opportunity to invite him as the founder to teach at Hogwarts?

Dumbledore is not that stupid.

Even though Salazar Slytherin's reputation in the history of magic was not that good, he was more willing to believe in the Salazar Slytherin he saw and knew rather than the cold character in the book.

Dumbledore was going to be stubborn for once.

He insisted on inviting Salazar to Hogwarts.

Professor McGonagall looked at Salazar with guilt-filled eyes. She had always liked an outstanding student like Salazar back then. His excellence was visible to the naked eye...

If those tragedies hadn't happened, Salazar would have graduated from Hogwarts well and would have become the best graduate. Therefore, Professor McGonagall soon agreed to Dumbledore's request. She is the vice principal and is responsible for managing Hogwarts. If Salazar joins the job, she will also have to make arrangements for subsequent adjustments to the class schedule and the arrangements for the students.

This is not a simple matter, it can even be troublesome.

As for the other professors, they probably accepted Dumbledore's appointment very quickly, which actually had little to do with them.

Only Snape was a little hesitant. He doubted Salazar's identity and vaguely guessed something, so he didn't know if Dumbledore knew anything and so suddenly and forcefully asked Salazar to come to Hogwarts. , does it prove that his guesses are right?

If so, wouldn't Dumbledore be worried?

Snape stared at Dumbledore. He saw Dumbledore nodding firmly to him, and finally sighed and accepted this reality.

He should still be able to trust Dumbledore, right?

Lockhart was very happy to have Salazar as his colleague. He felt that Salazar was a good wizard and he could talk to him very well.

When Tom knew that Salazar was going to become the new professor at Hogwarts, his eyes were visibly desperate, even though Dumbledore said that this subject might be tentatively taught to students in fifth grade and above, depending on the situation. Now that he decides whether to let third- and fourth-year students join, he feels that his future is dark.

Tom couldn't help but speak, he wanted to persuade Dumbledore to give up.

"Albus Dumbledore! You have to think clearly! He is not a suitable professor for Hogwarts students!"

Dumbledore heard Tom's words and turned to look at him.

The other professors did not expect that Tom would object, and they all looked at Tom in surprise. Even the students who stayed at the school did not expect that a student would refute Dumbledore's appointment.

They originally planned to wait and see. If they felt that this course was useless, then it was not impossible to report to their parents and object to the new course at Hogwarts. There were people who started to refute before they found the problem. .

Tom looked at Dumbledore with a dark face: "You know that I was actually adopted by him, right? He taught me magic before I came to Hogwarts!"

Dumbledore blinked, and then faced Salazar with a smile: "Really? Professor Brown? I know that Tom Riddle is a very excellent little wizard, and professors in various subjects are full of praise for him. You The level of education is evident~~”

Salazar turned to look at Tom with a smile. His dark eyes seemed to hide a deep lake, cold and even with a hint of chill.

Tom trembled and looked at him in disbelief that Dumbledore dared to tell lies. He actually lied to compliment Salazar Slytherin? !

"Don't you know how he treated me?!" Tom asked Dumbledore.

Dumbledore kept a warm smile, took Salazar's hand and said, "Yes, Professor Brown seems to be stricter, right? The students at Hogwarts have always been very naughty, especially those from Gryffindor. Students, they are very lively.”

【so! Please show mercy! Be tolerant of Gryffindor students! ! ! 】

Salazar smiled and nodded and said, "I also like lively children."

Salazar added silently: "It's cute."

Dumbledore immediately smiled more sincerely.

Great, they're on the same page.

Tom looked at the two men in disbelief.

"What kind of wizard is he, don't you know?!!! Dumbledore, are you crazy?!!!"

Tom felt aggrieved, extremely aggrieved.

"If you don't discriminate against this type of wizard, why did you reject...reject that person!!!"

Dumbledore ignored Tom's intention and said to Salazar with a smile: "Since we want to teach practical magic, I think you also know what kind of spells I want the students to master. Regarding the classroom, I think We need to think carefully about it next.”

"Dumbledore!" Tom shouted towards Dumbledore with red eyes.

Snape frowned and looked at Tom. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Salazar say: "Actually, I think the Requirement Room is very good, but... if there is a dedicated classroom... it's a good idea, that is I need to set it up properly.”

"Yeah..." Dumbledore said. "We can find an empty classroom that's big enough, and then set up some more protective magic."

"Perhaps there is a ready-made one in Hogwarts. Let's ask the Sorting Hat? It should know something." Salazar felt that if he and Godric created Hogwarts in the future, then arranging suitable rooms would be indispensable. To facilitate students to practice spells, there must be a room that has been arranged long ago.

Dumbledore nodded, feeling that it was really possible.

"I'll go back and ask the Sorting Hat. We'll go check out the classroom tomorrow."

Lockhart scratched his head, looked at Tom, and asked Dumbledore tentatively: "Mr. Principal, over there, Mr. Riddle..."

Dumbledore didn't seem to hear that, and continued talking to Salazar.

Lockhart sensed something was wrong and closed his mouth.

Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore and then at Tom in confusion. She quickly withdrew her gaze from Tom and lowered her head, pretending that she didn't notice anything.

Professor Sprout quietly cared about the Hufflepuff students who stayed in school. Those students seemed to want to ask about Tom. Professor Sprout asked with a loving look if the food tonight was not to his liking. , and then enthusiastically recommended one of his favorite desserts.

The student was in a daze as his mouth was filled with delicious pie.

The Slytherin students had no intention of interrupting, especially when their dean's face became darker and darker, and under the fearful eyes, they all lowered their heads and shoveled the dinner into their mouths.

They were not stupid, and they could see that their dean did not want to have any interaction with Riddle.

Professor Flitwick even took out his book and asked his students questions with a smile. The main point was that you can use your brain, but you are not allowed to think about why Principal Dumbledore ignored Riddle!
