[Comprehensive British and American] Painting ghosts

Almost no one at Hogwarts knew that Shen Yanzhou had recruited a new student to teach him painting.

Tom himself didn't disclose it to the public, even though Shen Yanzhou didn't ask him to keep it secret.It's just that Tom's Slytherin followers were surprised to find that their boss seemed to suddenly become interested in painting, sometimes he would stare at a certain painting in the corridor for a long time, sometimes he would stop while walking and pick up a pen Draw a sketch in the little notebook that you carry with you.

As a result, the future Lord Dark Lord was highly praised by the future Death Eaters: "As expected of Riddle, he is proficient in all kinds of civil and military calligraphy and painting. This kind of aristocratic demeanor is really charming!"

And Tom's suitors are increasing, almost surpassing the number of future Death Eaters.This caused Tom's followers a big headache. If the suitors swarmed up, they might not be able to beat him, after all, they couldn't compare with him in number.

……

On the other hand, during an afternoon tea with Shen Yanzhou, Dumbledore learned that Tom was learning calligraphy and painting from Shen Yanzhou.

Dumbledore frowned: "Shen, what do you think of the student Tom Riddle?"

Shen Yanzhou was not surprised that Dumbledore would ask this question: "He is very talented, willing to work hard, polite and eager to learn, he is a very good student."

"No, I mean..." Dumbledore frowned.His perception of Tom Riddle has always been bad, it can even be said to be bad, because in him, Dumbledore can always see the shadow of the Dark Lord who is raging in Germany.

Shen Yanzhou probably understood what Dumbledore was thinking, but why didn't he know that Tom was not a good student to some extent?It's just that he has a high degree of tolerance for his students, and he doesn't think it's a bad thing to be ambitious.

"Relax, Albus." Shen Yanzhou said. "He is still just a child. If he is taught correctly, he will be a pillar of the magic world in the future."

"Haha, that's right. Would you like some more candy?" Dumbledore laughed.

"No, no, you can taste it yourself." Shen Yanzhou, who was full of sweetness, said with a bitter smile.

Time passed unconsciously.

Tom's influence is expanding day by day, and the team of diehards who follow him is also getting bigger and bigger.

When Tom was in fifth grade, he successfully became a prefect.For all the professors who are optimistic about him, it is a matter of course for this studious, smart, handsome, polite and talented student to become the prefect.

Shen Yanzhou also expressed his congratulations, and sent a painting as a gift. The painting was green and straight bamboo.After Tom received the picture scroll dropped by the owl, he put it away with his usual expression.

Abraxas looked at Tom who put away the scroll, and asked curiously: "Who gave the gift? Why do you look so happy?"

Tom froze.Malfoy is really a smart person, can he see through his mood so easily now?

"I didn't know you were such a gossip." Tom looked indifferent.

"Hey, why are you angry?" Abraxas said. "It just so happens that my family sent some homemade candy, so I'll give it to you as an apology for gossip about you, how about it?"

The Malfoy peacock-like aria he was used to, sometimes sounded really embarrassing.

Tom took Abraxas's box of candies graciously, thinking about taking the candies to the professor's office tonight and sharing them together.

Shen Yanzhou, who just took a mouthful of sweet candy from Dumbledore, expressed that he was under a lot of pressure.

While putting away the scroll, Tom cast his gaze into the distance.

He has many things to do besides studies and painting.He remembered the plan he was going to implement, and a slight killing intent appeared in his dark eyes.

He loves this school, he regards Hogwarts as his home, and he does not allow dirty things to appear in his home.As a descendant of Slytherin, how could he allow those dirty mudbloods to live and study under the same roof as him?It was time for their easy life at Hogwarts to end.

They should be gone, and I, I will be beyond death.

A red light flashed in his black eyes, thinking of the black magic that Professor Slughorn had confided to him—split souls and create Horcruxes.

Maybe it's time for that guy in the Chamber of Secrets to come out and let it out.

……

At night, Shen Yanzhou looked at the new homework that Tom gave him, and marveled at his faster progress.His painting style has begun to call itself a unity, almost perfect, but always lacking everything.

Shen Yanzhou looked at Tom, who was still standing aside, with a polite and respectful smile that hadn't changed for three years.The child is 16 years old and is in a period of metamorphosis both externally and internally.

He faded away from the childishness of a teenager and gradually matured.Years of painting learning have given him an elegant temperament, perfect appearance and demeanor. He has been beautiful since he was a child, and now he is even more handsome.If Shen Yanzhou hadn't known that he was born in an orphanage, he might have mistaken him for a descendant of aristocrats.

But his personality is not perfect. Even though he possesses character, strength, and intelligence and intelligence that most people don't have, Shen Yanzhou can't see the love for life and nature in him.

It is precisely the lack of this point that makes his paintings have a beautiful appearance and ostentatious skills, but the content is often extremely empty.

But this is not something that he can comprehend when outsiders talk about it.Shen Yanzhou tried to let him realize this through his paintings, but whether it was due to his personality or a problem left over from his growth, he was always unable to express the kind of emotion that Shen Yanzhou wanted.

"Are you guys going to take the Owls exam?" Shen Yanzhou suddenly remembered such a thing.There are also examination questions in the magic world, and of course art is definitely not included in the scope of the examination.

"Yes." Tom replied.

"Then you don't have to come to me for the next two months, so study hard." Shen Yanzhou said. "Your current level cannot be improved by pure practice."

Tom was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Walking out of Shen Yanzhou's office, he walked towards the cellar of Slytherin, but suddenly stopped halfway and turned to another direction.

……

When Shen Yanzhou went to class the next day, he found that his classmates had been whispering before he entered the classroom.Even when he started his class, the little wizards occasionally whispered to each other with panicked expressions on their faces.

Shen Yanzhou was surprised, this kind of group desertion usually rarely occurs in his classrooms, could it be that he is getting old and his charm is not as good as before?

After class, Shen Yanzhou asked a classmate to inquire about it, and then he knew what happened in the school——

Next, please move the little bench, Hogwarts school horror legend, presented by the Hufflepuff Gossip Team:

It is said that in the corridors on the second floor of Hogwarts, there will be unidentified monsters in action every night.

It is said that this monster came and went without a trace, and every time it could only hear an extremely strange rustling sound.You can always feel it is by your side, but you can't find its trace.

Its voice is sometimes like a beast roaring, sometimes like a baby crying.

According to a Gryffindor cub who did not want to be named, he once saw this terrifying monster. It has eighteen legs and twenty eyes, and it can be called extremely vicious; its body is bigger than a troll. , the mouth was open with eight rows of pointed teeth, and the saliva dripped from the teeth continuously, accompanied by severe bad breath.If it weren't for this little lion's claim that petrification is unparalleled in the world, he might have become a victim.

However, according to a Ravenclaw kitten who also did not want to be named, it is said that the above-mentioned animals have never appeared in the wizarding world, and this person is simply talking nonsense.

But the next day, the little eagle changed her words and said: Maybe Hogwarts does have monsters that were not recorded in the book, because she also heard a strange sound in the corridor on the second floor!

The rumors became more and more bizarre, and finally the entire Hogwarts students fell into a panic.All kinds of gossip are emerging one after another. The pessimistic view is that Hogwarts was invaded by some ancient monster. The optimistic view is that Peeves may be causing trouble. Some people even think that it is a conspiracy by Muggle-born wizards. Murder of pure-blood wizards—the student Lestrange who made this point was sent to the medical wing the next day because his front teeth swelled by [-] centimeters.

After hearing these rumors, Shen Yanzhou said: You little wizards really know how to play.

As a result, that night, a little Ravenclaw wizard who came to ask him for advice talked about it.

The Ravenclaw girl named Myrtle Warren said that she would pass the second floor from Shen Yanzhou's office to the Ravenclaw lounge. She is so petite and cute, and she is likely to be attacked by monsters. The professor can protect her and walk her through the corridor on the second floor.

How could Professor Shen refuse a girl's request?Of course, I agreed without hesitation.

On their way back, Myrtle Warren blushed and said that she needed to go to the bathroom. Shen Yanzhou reassured her that he would wait for her at the door.

Shen Yanzhou waited for a while, but no one came out.

He wondered to Tian Yanbi, "Do girls take so long to go to the bathroom?"

Tian Yanbi said indifferently: "You ask me what I do, I'm not a girl."

Shen Yanzhou smiled and said, "Aren't you an omniscient artifact?"

As soon as the words fell, he heard a shrill scream full of fear from the bathroom——

"what!!!!"

Shen Yanzhou's complexion changed drastically, and he rushed straight into the women's bathroom without caring much.

"Miss Warren! Miss Warren!" He called the little witch's name, but there was no response.Opening the bathroom cubicle, he saw the stiff, pale body of Myrtle Warren.

After Shen Yanzhou saw this scene, he felt as if he had been hit hard by something. He felt his stomach being grabbed by an invisible hand, and the gastric juice was churning upwards. He was about to vomit, and he took a step back with a pale face.

He turned his head in a daze, and saw a pair of bright yellow animal pupils beside him.

Those eyes looked at him coldly, filled with pure killing intent.The moment Shen Yanzhou's gaze touched those eyes, his whole body began to ache, and his consciousness faded away.

In his last consciousness, only the corpse of Mettle Warren, the bright yellow eyes of the beast, the anxious cry of Tianyan Pen, and a figure running towards him were filled.

Tom?

The next moment, he was plunged into boundless darkness.

The author has something to say: Shen Yanzhou: Why am I also being attacked? ?

Tianyanbi: Because your parents are also Muggles.

Shen Yanzhou: This is unscientific!Then I'm not a wizard yet!

Tianyanbi: Are you talking about science in the magic world?

Shen Yanzhou: I'm actually speechless.
