My classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

Chapter 7 Departure
"The intelligence of these wizards really makes me sick." After leaving Ollivander's wand shop, Tom began to feel sick every day again, "Why can a gold Galleon be exchanged for seventeen sigrams or 400 donats? There are ten fingers, and daily arithmetic is also in decimal."

"I don't know, maybe the creatures that ruled the magical world at the beginning had seventeen fingers and twenty-nine toes?" Nelson couldn't imagine such a strange creature either.

"I used to say Chamberlain was an idiot, but now I think he's fully qualified to be Chancellor of the Exchequer at the Ministry of Magic. In fact, his grandmother can be too..." Tom ruthlessly attacked the financial system under the Ministry of Magic , "The pet store is right in front of this. Seriously, don't you think it's silly to carry a toad?"

"That's a toad...but I think I could buy an owl or something."

The two walked into the pet store. The clerk on duty was a 30-year-old man with blond hair and a little fat. When he saw two little ghosts in Muggle costumes walking in, he put down his butt that had just been lifted from the stool. go.

"Those two little devils, the mouse is in the corner, the snowy owl costs forty Galleons, don't break it."

"What's your attitude!" Tom had never been so angry before, he took out his wand and pointed at the clerk.

The clerk showed disdain and sneered: "How strange, I was actually pointed at my head with a wand by a mudblood kid!" Then he took out his wand from under the table, pointed at Tom and Nelson, and scornfully drove them away: "Get out of here. ."

Tom seemed to want to argue with reason, but Nelson saw that the situation was not good. Two 11-year-old boys who had just got wands couldn't beat an adult wizard no matter what. He dragged Tom out of the shop.

"What!" Tom spat on the ground. He couldn't take care of his former restraint. "He told me to get out, and he said I was a 'mudblood'? What is a mudblood?"

Nelson had a headache on the side, comforting Tom, and scolding bad luck. He was also very angry. The first time he came to Diagon Alley, he encountered this kind of slap in the face. The saddest thing is that he failed to pretend. Only get slapped in the face.Tom, still furious, kept asking, "What is a Mudblood?"

"Mudblood is an insulting term given to a Muggle-born wizard by a pure-blood wizard. This is a very vicious term that would never be uttered by an educated wizard." A calm male voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them. Nelson turned his head and saw that it was Dumbledore.

"Professor Dumbledore!" He hurriedly greeted him, and Tom turned around immediately when he heard it. Seeing Dumbledore, he suppressed his emotions and said hello to Dumbledore.

"Tom, Nelson, let's go, I'll treat you to ice cream," Dumbledore took the two of them by the shoulders and led them out of here, "By the way, I'd like to ask for your help."

"Let's go to Sheldon's cold drink shop. Mr. Sheldon Fusco's ice cream is the most delicious in the UK." Dumbledore smiled and winked at the two of them, "A delicious cold drink can make people forget all the dreadful things. unpleasant thing."

They walked to a cold drink shop on the street. There were many customers here. There was only one empty table outside the shop. Dumbledore took the two and sat down there. "Sheldon, three raspberry sundaes, thank you. ." He greeted the shopkeeper.

The three sat down, Sheldon brought a cold drink, Dumbledore quickly finished his cup, Nelson poked the sundae spoonful, Tom sat at the table, watching the sundae slowly. Melted and dignified, the good mood of getting the beloved wand seemed to vanish.

"Nelson, when school starts on September [-], can you give this letter to Professor Slughorn on my behalf?" Dumbledore took out a letter and gave it to Nelson, "I have some things on the day of school that may not be possible. Arrive on time, and if I arrive, just return this letter to me."

Nelson nodded, and Dumbledore patted Tom's shoulder heavily again, "Your background does not determine your future, Tom, your achievements will be limitless!" Tom nodded to Dumbledore with an ugly face, "Eat it. , Tom, nothing in life is more captivating than sweets."

Tom picked up the spoon and poked the sundae slowly.

"You guys rest here for a while, I'll do something, wait a moment." Dumbledore patted Tom on the shoulder again, this time with a lot of strength, and Nelson saw Tom tremble.

"Nar, I'm not a Mudblood, am I?" Seeing Dumbledore leaving, Tom raised his bowed head, and Gnar saw his face, a haggard look after being denied, he was originally as black as black The jade-like eyes were flushed red, and he seemed to be holding back tears, but his eyes didn't seem to shed tears at all, and there were no lacrimal glands to secrete tears, and his wide eyes turned even redder.

"Yes, Tom." Nelson hesitated for a moment. He didn't know if he should tell the Tom Gunter family. He understood that Tom urgently needed such news to cheer him up, but how could he explain that he knew the Tom family's past? "Yes, Tom, you are not."

Hearing his friend's hesitant answer, Tom didn't know what to think, "Yeah." He responded softly, a response so erratic that Nelson didn't even hear it.He just watched Tom put his head on his chest again, eating the sundae silently, not knowing how to comfort this extremely proud and sensitive slender teenager.

"I just saw you with Professor Dumbledore, are you new to Hogwarts?" An untimely voice broke in, and Nelson looked up to see a stocky boy with a black crooked head and dark gray eyes, "I'm Alphard Black, a freshman at Hogwarts." He said excitedly, holding a bird with a white snowy owl in it.

"Al, I told you not to run around." An older girl ran after Walburga. "Sorry, this is my brother. He's a little naughty. I'm sorry to disturb you."

"It doesn't matter." Nelson looked beside him and found that it was Tom with an indifferent face. He seemed to have adjusted his mood, with a cool expression, holding the sundae and looking at the birdcage in Walburga's hand.

"It's okay," Nelson said.

"I take the liberty to ask, can we sit here? Sheldon's cold drink shop has no spare space." Alphard's sister stared at Tom and said lightly.

……

"I will definitely go to Slytherin." Alphard muttered inarticulately with a mouthful of shaved ice, "My whole family is Slytherin, and my ancestors have been Slytherin for eight generations. If I don't enter Slytherin, My mom might burn my name off the family tree."

"What did you say?" Walburga poked at his brother, who was running the train, and cast an apologetic look at the two. Her name was Walburga Black, Alphard's sister, a third-year Slytherin. Students, the two are from the ancient pure blood family, the Black family.

"I want me to go to Ravenclaw." Nelson waved to Walburga, indicating that it was okay. "I heard that there are the most intelligent witches and wizards in England."

"Hmph, you'd better come to Slytherin, the Ravenclaws are just a bunch of nerds in the library." Walburga continued to pinch her brother, instilling Slytherin values ​​in Nelson, she suddenly turned to Tom, "Riddle, you are so good, you will definitely be selected by Slytherin."

"Me?" Tom played with his spoon boredly. "A mudblood like me is not worthy of going to Slytherin to study with noble purebloods."

"Ah?!" Walburga was so surprised that the spoon fell to the ground, she hesitated for a long time before stammering out a sentence: "You are so good, so... so handsome, definitely not a mudblood! "

"What's so good about Slytherin?" Alphard interjected, "Tom, you should go to Gryffindor, that's the best house at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore is...hmm...what are you doing! "He was educated by his sister again.

Tom went on to play with his spoon, looking gloomy.

"It's really good, I'll leave for a while, and you'll find new friends!" A vibrant voice suddenly squeezed in from the side, it was Dumbledore, he was carrying two cages, "Dangdang~ This is the start of school for you. Gift."

"Professor Dumbledore." The four quickly greeted each other.

"Hello - Nelson, this is for you." Dumbledore picked up the cage on his left and handed it to Nelson. Inside was a British stubby with a ridiculous moustache. With the pattern on his face, he looked like a As if a question mark was drawn on his face, "Puchi-", Nelson laughed out loud the moment he saw the kitten. "I'll call you a question mark in the future." Nelson said happily, teasing the kitten.

"Tom, this is for you." Tom looked up, and in the cage was a brightly colored owl, with stripes and patterns around its face, which looked very gorgeous, "It's called a spotted owl. , is a very rare owl, its temper is a bit grumpy, but it can send letters far away, and its mission will be fulfilled."

Dumbledore shoved the bird cage into Tom's arms and rubbed his head, "Is a raspberry sundae delicious?"

"It tastes good, just a little sour, Professor." Tom raised his head and said to Dumbledore with a serious face.

"Hahaha!" Dumbledore laughed, everyone laughed, and finally Tom hugged the birdcage tightly and showed a smile.

……

"Nal, you won't cast your magic." Tom looked at the thick fog outside the train and expressed his doubts to Nelson.

"I didn't! And I said it! That's not magic at all!" Nelson argued feebly.

Alphard was beside him, and, under the restraint of his sister, tried to ask Tom to repeat what happened at Ollivander's wand shop.

Now they were on the train to Hogwarts, and for the whole month of August, Nelson and Tom lived at Aunt Bella's house, practicing magic in hiding in their rooms, and after a month of hard work, they had Reasons to believe that they will shine in their upcoming Hogwarts life.

As the Magic Express took the laughing four in the compartment away from London, the door to the wizarding world finally opened to them.
