HP Tom Riddle

"The stairs in Hogwarts have 'life'." Les Lantage said, "You still have a long way to go to conquer the moving stairs. The only thing I can tell you is that the stairs There is a rule to find the rotation.” When we started to walk up the stairs, Les Lantage warned us: “During the first week, in each of your classes, a senior student will lead you to the classroom. Cherish this opportunity , arrange a special person to memorize the route, I have to remind you, if someone deducts college points for being late later, we will punish you unceremoniously."

"The Transfiguration classroom is on the fourth floor, and the moving stairs can easily trap you——Professor Dumbledore is a Gryffindor, and he doesn't like Slytherin students, so it's what you all have to do not to be late. "

At this moment, before I reached the second floor, the stairs to the third floor moved to the other side by itself.

"Wait where you are." Les Lantage said to me, and then he led the people who had gone up with him quickly to the fourth floor.

"This Slytherin tradition is always touching." I looked for the voice and turned my head - it was Professor Dumbledore, "Elena, may I call you that?"

"Why not, Professor."

"Ah, professors always have that little bit of privilege. Will you come to class with me, Elena?" he asked.

"Of course, Professor. I'm obviously not too fond of these stairs, and I'm glad you'll take me up them," I readily agreed.

Professor Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon glasses, and I noticed that the bridge of his nose was crooked, as if it had been broken by gravity and not connected properly.But for a wizard, it's a minor injury, isn't it?Unless, he is unwilling to correct it - any wizard should not do this: "Professor Dumbledore, forgive my curiosity. How did you get your nose?"

"You mean this?" Professor Dumbledore pointed at his nose, "I hadn't been a professor at Hogwarts at that time, you know, as the best wizarding school in the UK, there is no field in which to work here It’s not enough to have extraordinary talents here.” He waved his hand, and the part of the stairs that escaped was reconnected, and Professor Dumbledore said as he walked, “My nose was injured in a dangerous attempt. ...and when I tried to turn the chandelier into a phoenix, it fell and broke the bridge of my nose."

"So, we must pay attention when transforming, and don't transform living things without removing the chandelier." Professor Dumbledore said, "This is really an impressive lesson."

"I don't think I'll ever forget."

Professor Dumbledore smiled: "What kind of person do you think Tom Riddle is? It is said that you have known each other for a long time."

"Not too long, Professor. Just three years. I met Riddle in March 1935." I ignored the time I spent with Riddle and described him directly, "Riddle is a very smart man. Man, his wand is one I found in the storehouse at home, and I don't know what it was made of, but maybe yew—or some other white wood."

"Ollivanders are used to associating a person's character with a magic wand, so it is indeed very accurate to see a person in this way." I remembered that when I got the first magic wand, the oldest portrait warned me, never let the first magic wand The three know what your wand is made of, "But, Professor Dumbledore. What do you think Riddle should be like?"

"Oh, someone very similar to someone I used to know," said Professor Dumbledore wistfully, "but also very different."

I'm very curious who that could be.

But Professor Dumbledore obviously didn't want to say more. We had already reached the fourth floor, so he said, "I think we're here." To take the initiative to end the conversation.

Senior Les Lantage just turned around, maybe part of the reason why he was ready to rescue me so quickly, seeing me standing with Professor Dumbledore, he glanced at me very curiously, respectful to Professor Dumbledore Unmistakably, he said, "Professor Dumbledore, thank you for your help."

"It is every professor's duty to help students in trouble." Professor Dumbledore winked at me, "Especially the lovely Elena, no professor would bear to see her trapped on the second floor."

With a dry smile, I got into the transformation classroom under the calm confrontation between the two.

Next to Riddle was vacant, as if reserved for me.

This time he sat at the edge of the podium.

"Metamorphology, it was also called species conversion when Hogwarts was founded. I personally like this statement very much, but the change of the times, let us change it to Metamorphology." Professor Dumbledore told a Gryffindor A student asked for a quill, "We can find that when you want to transform an object, the closer the properties of the changed object are to the properties of the original object, the easier it is to deform. For example, let me transform this A quill turns into a little hummingbird—" Professor Dumbledore pointed his wand at the quill, and it turned into a little hummingbird with blue feathers. "Of course, you still need to cast a spell. Like The silent magic I just used won't be learned until your sixth year."

Professor Dumbledore said while returning the little hummingbird to the Gryffindor students, with a playful tone: "I think he won't be able to let you write until Christmas."

"No, Professor, I think I like him." The Gryffindor girl replied pleasantly.

Professor Dumbledore smiled mischievously, then turned to face everyone.

"Now, I'm going to teach you the most important spell in this class, which can turn wood into metal. Later, I will give each of you a match, and you will use the spell I taught to turn it into metal." A needle." Professor Dumbledore swiped his wand in the air, the red brocade box on the podium squirmed, and the lid jumped onto the podium by itself, it was a box full of red-headed matches, "I will reward the first one to complete it." He has House points. Well, let's see what is noteworthy about the pronunciation of this spell..."

Even though he had clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Professor Dumbledore, Riddle's attitude towards learning was more serious than Potions class.

Even if he had already learned the content of this class three years ago, and even learned it deeper and wider, he still listened carefully to every word the professor said and wrote down every word he said like an excellent student. Noteworthy, important notes.

To be honest, I can't learn how serious he is.

Professor Dumbledore handed out the matches after he finished lecturing on the theory. As soon as Riddle got it, amidst everyone's astonishment and Professor Dumbledore's unsurprised face——chanting a spell, the match turned into a stick with carved patterns. , a silver needle with an extremely sharp tip.

"Two points for Slytherin." Professor Dumbledore pushed his glasses, "for Riddle's wonderful transformation."

And in this class, except for Riddle, no one has completed the goal, not even making the surface of the match stick to metal.

Well, as for me, I don't want to show off after Riddle at all.A class passed while I was poking a matchstick with my wand, if I had known that Professor Dumbledore would be particularly disappointed, assigning a two-foot-long paper on the transformation of wood and metal (did not do this class Everyone who comes here must write), even if I want to steal the limelight, I will turn that thin match into a needle!

Oh, damn Riddle, why are you showing off so much?

The author has something to say: I couldn't find the location of the Transfiguration classroom. I assume it's on the fourth floor, which is the same floor as the Charms classroom.
