Hogwarts: Tom is not the Dark Lord

Taking the approval slip and finding a book about Occlumency, Tom sat in the corner and started to read, 'If you want to master this profound magic, you must put aside all emotions, clear your brain and restrain yourself...'

Reading the contents of the book quietly, Tom raised his left eyebrow. This seemed very simple to him. After all, he didn't have many feelings, or he didn't have any extra feelings. Friendship, family, love, he didn't have any of these, right? ?

After being in a daze for a moment, the disappointment on Tom's face quickly faded. He closed the book and put it back in its place with some indifference. Inexplicably, the conversation from last night came to mind, 'Beyond death...Following instinct...What is what I long for? what..'

Memories kept flooding in his mind. Tom thought of the old dean sitting on the chair, the little bumpkin who buried his first 'friend', and his mother who never appeared in his dreams again. These things he once liked Everyone who had passed by left him, leaving him alone.

"A person who transcends death..."

"Hey~ Tom! What are you talking about?" Ian hugged his friend's neck, smiled flatteringly at the librarian, and dragged him out.

Silently freeing himself, Tom pursed his lips slightly. He didn't like this kind of contact. He resisted the urge to take out his wand and throw people away. It was already very rare. "Ian, what can you do? In a few days, The exam is coming up in a month...how are you preparing?"

With a painful wailing, Ian's little face wrinkled into a ball, damn the exam! Can’t we implement happy education? The whole seven years have been filled with happiness, and education...it’s okay to put it aside for a while! "Why are there exams? I hate exams!"

Smiling politely, Tom shook his head, not quite agreeing with this idea. Those courses were not difficult to learn. In fact, he had already begun to come into contact with higher-level content, especially on spells and transformation spells. These unknown spells were very difficult to learn. He was fascinated, "The exam is not difficult, you just need to treat it with a normal mind..."

Clenching his itchy fists, Ian rolled his eyes fiercely. He was very sure that his little friend was showing off! What a great scholar! Woo hoo... He also wants to be a top student in his next life. He really wants to have a smart head. "That's true for you. Exams are just torture for me... Stop talking about such sad topics." Tom~ Are you still going to stay in school during the Easter holiday?"

Thinking of the upcoming two-week holiday, Tom nodded naturally. He would not go back to the cold orphanage. In fact, he didn't even want to go back during the summer vacation. "What about you? Do you want to go home or stay in school?"

Ian laughed a few times, rubbed his hands in a mischievous manner, and whispered to his friend, "Of course I'm going to stay in school. How about we go on an adventure then? I heard there are a lot of things in Hogwarts." Let’s go find the secret passage~”

Blinking his eyes, Tom was a little suspicious. How did the Sorting Hat sort this guy, who was extremely curious, into Hufflepuff? Shouldn't he be thrown into the lions? But when he was searching for Salazar's information, he saw a secret room belonging to Slytherin. "Okay, let's go together then..."

"Great!" cheered, and Ian jumped happily a few times, "Let's go! Let's go to the Black Lake, Mickey is waiting for us there~"

Not expecting the reason for rejection, Tom sighed and followed slowly, still thinking about how to complete his idea.
