Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

Looking up at the not-so-clean store in front of him, Tom nodded silently. Maybe it would be very clean inside? Just like the orphanage he was in, it looked shabby on the outside, but it was very neat and tidy inside.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and guessed the little guy's thoughts in his heart. He smiled and said nothing, and directly led the expectant cub into the Leaky Cauldron.

Tom lowered his head, the dirty and small bar stung his eyes, and the smell of alcohol in the air made him frown subconsciously, "Professor Dumbledore... I forgot to tell you, I didn't. .The money to buy materials...can I use my work to offset my tuition?”

Blinking, Dumbledore pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose. Did he forget to tell little Tom that Hogwarts would not charge tuition? Feeling guilty for no reason, Dumbledore led people directly to the back door of the bar, "Ah... you don't need to worry about this. Hogwarts will not charge tuition fees. Not only that, there will also be a scholarship fund. One hundred galleons, just enough to buy everything you need.”

After hearing Dumbledore's explanation, Tom was completely relieved. Has he finally been favored by fate? As long as he could get into Hogwarts, nothing else mattered. Maybe he could do some work and earn some... Galleons?

"On the wall tiles on the trash can, count three tiles up, two tiles across, and tap three times with the wand..." Dumbledore tapped the wall with his wand and looked at the surprised little guy with a smile. , "Welcome to Diagon Alley~"

Tom tried his best to suppress his exclamation, his eyes seemed to suddenly have light, and he looked at the magical scene in front of him. This is great, a magic wand? Will he also have a wand later?

Leading the little guy into Diagon Alley, Dumbledore turned around and went directly to the second-hand bookstore, "Well... Tom... Although this may make you unhappy, you have to know that compared to brand new Textbooks, robes, and wands are the most important, so...you will buy the textbooks you need here."

Nodding in understanding, Tom had a shy smile on his face, "Professor Dumbledore, I don't care about that. In fact, the school can provide me with scholarship funds, which is a great surprise to me."

"Okay~ Then I will choose books for you..."

Dumbledore quickly selected the textbooks he needed. Over the years, the textbooks at Hogwarts have basically not changed much. He knew what he wanted to buy even with his eyes closed.

The two spent a lot of time buying things. Dumbledore sent Tom to the door of the shabby wand point. He hesitated whether to go in. Thinking of the other party's Parseltongue, he sighed and decided to take a look, "Oli." Mr. Vander is the best wandmaker in the world, and here you will find your destined partner."

Tom pursed his lips. He no longer had any hope in the idea of ​​wizards. The most memorable place was a dirty bar. The best wand shop looked like it was about to collapse. It seemed that the wizards were not having a good time either. .

Reaching out and carefully pushing open the door, Tom had an expression on his face. It was exactly what he thought, wasn't it? It was small and shabby. Apart from a bench, there were countless long and narrow boxes stacked on top of each other. Wand making was a high-risk profession. ? If it collapses, people will be buried alive.
