HP Hermione's Phoenix

This year, there are only two most shocking news of the year,

First, Black overturned the case, Pediru escaped, the 12-year injustice was brought to light, and the Ministry of Magic lost face.

Second, the Malfoy family announced at the end of November that the latest upgraded version of the magic network terminal will be delayed until Christmas.

The first reaction from everyone was, "Hey, ah, Merlin..."

The second everyone's reaction is, "Hey,!!!!!!!!!"

But Hogwarts students are not affected by these two major events at this moment.

The first thing is that Blake broke into the castle and made everyone panic, but then he proved his innocence, perseverance, kindness, and loyalty in front of the people of the whole world... I really want people to drink butter beer with him, In front of Merlin's portrait, he swore to Jin Lan; and at first, the Ministry of Magic planned to use dementors to continue patrolling Hogwarts in order to search for Peter's traces... But since the new minister came to power, all these heart-warming things have disappeared.

New minister Barty Crouch, elected for the first time in a live-streamed referendum, edged out rival Rufus Scrimgeour's 43% with 41.5% effective support.

——This election is regarded as the first counterattack of the traditional wizarding aristocracy since the era of Voldemort, and it is said that the Malfoy family exerted a lot of power here.

As soon as the new minister came to power, he publicly issued a speech in support of Dumbledore, saying that "it is extremely inappropriate to put dementors near the school. I believe that if something dangerous is about to strike, Dumbledore's It's the safest place in the country."

——This speech has been repeatedly analyzed by various tabloids and online discussion forums, and it is believed to be self-washing and favoritism of traditional forces.

But the little wizards in the castle didn't care about these intricate and complicated things.

At this moment, more than half of the people in Gryffindor were squatting by the fire, holding terminals, and their eyes were shining.

"It turns out that you skipped tickets because of this thing!!!"

"It's great!!"

The twins were the first to praise loudly.They lowered their heads tightly, looking like they were about to rub their foreheads into the screen.

Listen carefully, "Didi~da...beep~la la la..." is constantly circulating in the air. It is a tune that wizards find very strange. It is very cheerful, but the tone is strange, because they have few people in contact with it. over electronic music...

"I've cleared the level!!!——" Ron suffocated his strength and pressed the screen loudly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, and murmured, "Mario finally rescued the princess..."

"Ron, you are so smart!!! It's the end so soon!!!" Immediately, a little girl surrounded him coquettishly.

"Uh... I'm just ordinary quick, ahaha..." Ron scratched his head, blushing.

"Everyone, please pause for a moment," Hermione said loudly, "After a week of evaluation, I am very grateful for everyone's enthusiasm... Now it is time to accept the results. Do you have any comments on these small games on the new terminal? "

"No—!" Everyone buried their heads in the keys and said in unison.

"Well, besides Ron, has anyone else cleared the level to the end?"

"Probably not..." Neville said adoringly, "Ron is really good. He was also playing Wizard Chess."

Hermione couldn't help but feel a slight movement in her heart.She thought that it took Tom only a very short time to break through those levels-at first she thought that wizards were talented and clever, and it was no problem to solve the small games of Muggles.In hindsight, it's obvious that Tom was a freak...

Fred patted the terminal and exclaimed: "I only have one suggestion...can you make the picture better?"

Hermione spread her hands helplessly: "I don't know how to develop games... I transferred all of these directly from the Muggle game console, including the graphics and music."

George narrowed his eyes immediately: "It really is a Muggle! Muggles are really amazing..."

In the common room, the little wizards who were brought in by Hermione for evaluation were all amazed.Among the crowd, only Ron seemed to be very talented in playing games, and was admired by all kinds of onlookers; and Seamus said that he had been playing Nintendo badly since he was a child...

Harry looked at the magic terminal that turned into a game console in his hand, a little dazed.Of course he also knew where this thing came from. Cousin Dudley always played it when he was a child and never let him play it... But now, there is this thing in the wizarding world.

He heard George say seriously: "Hermione, although this finished product is quite good...but to sell it to the wizarding world, I think we can do this...that...and then...you know...as long as According to its principle..."

They turned to the corner and discussed in low voices for a while, and Hermione's eyes lit up: "I see."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, and Harry quickly followed: "Hermione, wait...that..."

"Well?"

"About my godfather..." he said, looking at her, "he said he was thankful to you...thought it was nice of me to have a bunch of friends. He's got his house back now and said he'd invite us for Christmas Everyone go..."

"Okay." Hermione nodded.

"Well... Let Tom go too!" Harry said in his heart, every time he saw him, he always felt pitiful, almost as pitiful as himself...

Hermione nodded and walked away like the wind.

"Do you have a portrait of Merlin?" Hermione didn't return to the laboratory for the first time, but walked into Slytherin's study.

"No. Not in the whole country." Hogwarts replied simply, "He is a figure in the legend, earlier than Salazar and the others."

"Uh..." Hermione patted her head, "I didn't mean that... what do you think Merlin should look like?"

"what?"

"Tom...stop soaking. I know you're awake." Hermione flipped through the big books without looking back, "Tell me, what do you think Merlin should look like?"

The black-haired boy came out from behind after a while.He had wiped off all the water, but his hair was still damp and looked very dewy.

"……do not know."

"Of course I know you don't. I'm just asking for your opinion. What do you think Merlin looks better?"

She sat down with a thoughtful expression.

"Probably... very wise? Very powerful? Like Dumbledore?" He didn't know why she asked, so he answered so cautiously.

"No." Hermione frowned and waved her hand, "I don't like Dumbledore's face, and I don't like Dumbledore's face even when I'm younger. By the way, do you think Dumbledore is a handsome guy?"

"..." Tom was puzzled and remained silent.

"Uh, I don't comment..." Castle scratched his head.

"...It's too late to recruit painters now, and it will be listed next month, and Lucius is urging me to death..."

"...is there anything...can I help?" he finally whispered.

But Hermione just looked at him with very sharp eyes, and then muttered to herself: "I see...I see!"

She slammed the table and pulled his arm: "Come here! I need your help very much!..."

Click, click, click.

Holding the terminal in her hand, Hermione shot wildly at him.Hai Erbo rolled the extra-large reflector with his body in the back.Even the volume seems to have been specially amplified...

Tom looked at her in horror, watching her staring at him tightly, watching her getting closer and closer, watching her stretch out her hand...

"Smile!" Hermione pinched the corner of his mouth lightly.

A strange feeling surged in Tom's heart, as if the pieces of lotus root at the corner of his mouth that had been touched were about to turn pink and soft, and then they were bitten off...

"Tom, let's be natural!" Hogwarts Castle said beside him, "You look good when you smile happily!"

"That's it." Hermione said casually, and sat down. "Castle, go and open the portrait of the founder—by the way, you haven't seen the portrait of your ancestor, have you?"

Some kind of unique and mysterious magic was carried out between her fingers, the light kept sweeping across the pictures on the screen, and the pictures began to change into different colors.

Tom was taken aback for a moment, almost in a trance: Salazar Slytherin, his ancestor...

As if the ancient hymn sounded again in the secret room, layers of curtains were pulled open, and the feathered snake on the mural overlooked all living beings from the sky, and thousands of snakes worshiped...

The portraits from thousands of years ago are presented to the world again.

He turned around suddenly.He is Tom Riddle, and after checking the genealogy, he found that he was Tom Marvolo Riddle, and later became Lord Voldemort, and now Tom Granger... He is the last descendant of Slytherin, he should have Born in glory and brilliance, but he has never been truly recognized by Slytherin from beginning to end...

In the portrait, the four youths are finally fully displayed.Chic chic, elegant elegance, noble nobility, grand atmosphere...

Behind her, Hermione snapped a photo with the terminal.And he stared intently at the black-haired figure on the far left of the portrait, feeling a lot of emotions that he couldn't understand——

"Is Tom looking at Salazar?" Castle said with a smile beside him, "Tom is indeed a descendant of Salazar. Take a closer look, your face shape and hair color are very similar... Tom?! Tom!"

As soon as Hermione turned her head, she heard a thud behind her—the young black-haired young master fainted again, she turned her head suddenly, as if she saw a few pieces of tender lotus root smashed to the ground—she couldn't help grinning her teeth in pain.

When he woke up, he was in the water again, and Hermione was peeling an apple beside him.

She looked at him coldly: "Stop practicing the Patronus Charm. Now is the time for you to grow your body."

Tom felt depressed, and couldn't help bowing his head in silence.

She continued: "After all, your soul is incomplete, and you need to nourish your spirit to successfully develop a physical body - if you continue to practice like this, you may be restored to a lotus root tomorrow."

With a gloomy expression, he said slowly, "...I see."

But she didn't blame him at all, she just put the peeled apples by the edge of the cold spring, stood up, and said calmly, "I will figure out a way."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

Tom looked at an apple next to the crystal coffin, and suddenly became very angry!I really want to smash it out!

He shouted in his heart: how to protect it? ! ——

——Living like this, she has always been protecting me! ...

By the fire in Snape's office, Lucius' tone was very dissatisfied: "It's been half a month, when will the new version of the terminal be available? You know, people in the Ministry of Magic are urging me every day, even that Weasley -"

Hermione interrupted him: "Do you have anything like that diary?"

Lucius' face stiffened for a moment.

Snape immediately glanced over with a deep look.

He said with a stiff face, "What?"

"You haven't?" She raised her head and squinted her eyes at him, "I remember you said at the time that he gave the other two things to who and who—who is it?"

"Hufflepuff's cup and Slytherin's locket," said Lucius sullenly. "At Lestrange's and Black's . . . what do you ask?"

"Oh, let me ask." Hermione glanced at Snape behind him, "Didn't Dumbledore also want to know what I'm doing?"

Snape let out a mocking laugh: "Our headmaster is too busy with rejuvenation and handheld games...I'm afraid he doesn't have time to pay attention to the omnipotent Miss Granger's hobby of collecting dark magic items."

Hermione thought, if you knew what I did, you wouldn't say that - I'm afraid Dumbledore still doesn't trust you enough, otherwise he would have told you all.

There were several thoughts in her mind. Lucius was waiting for her to continue asking, but she suddenly changed the subject lightly and handed a new terminal to him: "Here you are. I have distributed the test version to the whole school. , it will be launched within this week... Don't you want to know what's going on with the new function? Try to see how many levels you can pass..."

Lucius froze, and swiped open the terminal.He noticed that this time the crystal board was much more gorgeous than before, with two more buttons with unknown functions, and the logo of his big sponsor, the Malfoy family, was printed on the top and bottom of the screen, which made him feel refreshed.

He took a closer look, and the interface of today's hot topics on the Xiaonei website suddenly changed, and it became a new entry:

[Today's hot spot on Xiaonei.com Merlin saves King Arthur!The teachers and students of the whole school collectively posted their scores]

[TOP1, Ron Weasley, 67 hours, 36 minutes and 11 seconds, clearance;]

[TOP2, Albus Dumbledore, 79 hours, 41 minutes and 03 seconds, clearance;]

……

……

……

[TOP10, Rubeus Hagrid, 90 hours, 12 minutes and 38 seconds, not cleared;]

Lucius was taken aback.When he looked up, Hermione was gone, only Snape was staring at him with a half-smile.

"What is this? Merlin saved Arthur... what is this?"

"On the most conspicuous icon on the main interface." Snape twirled the quill, his voice still low and gorgeous: "I think you should sit down and try it."

Lucius sat by the fire in suspicion.He quickly discovered the so-called "main interface" - the previous terminal did not have this thing, and opening it was the network.But now, you can choose to switch between "Local Area Network" and "School Intranet"; there are also two new icons for "photographing" and "video recording", which Hermione has demonstrated to him before...

The newly added shiny red icon marked "Merlin Saves King Arthur" must be the new function she mentioned, and it is also the reason for the delay in listing...

With hesitation in his heart, he lightly touched it with his finger and opened it.

The startup screen is a very deep, elegant black-haired man, and a blond man with a sunny smile—that kind of painting style is very special and very good-looking, but it is not a real person or oil painting style. The picture is very matching, very eye-catching...

Then Didi's foreground music started.

Then a line of words jumped out:

——"Go forward, Merlin! Break through the thorns and thorns, pass through the trap, use wisdom and magic, and rescue Arthur who was kidnapped by the devil. It's your Mission!"

The battle melody that makes people relish sounded, a black-haired villain appeared on the screen, and he could be manipulated to jump, jump, and jump by sliding his fingers. The villain trampled the spider monster to death, then jumped onto the fence and ate a big mushroom...

——Beep beep, the black-haired villain has grown up a lot!

——A line of words was printed on the screen: Congratulations, you are one step closer to dear Arthur!

Lucius secretly thought that this game is quite interesting, but there is something wrong...

In the auditorium, just after the meal, the long table was full of people, and everyone was enthusiastically exchanging their experience in the game.

George patted his thigh and sighed: "Hermione, you actually made this thing!!!"

Hermione smiled and raised the juice to toast him: "I'll give you a dividend when it's done, thanks to your Good Idea."

George scratched his head and smiled: "That's what I said, I didn't expect you could really do it..."

"Don't refuse, haven't you always wanted to expand the business of joke products?"

"...That's right! Seeing you like this, I immediately feel that we can't relax at all..." Fred sighed.

"However, before I did this, I was actually quite worried. I can't grasp the aesthetics of the British, ahaha..."

"Hermione, aren't you a Briton yourself? Haha..."

"I'm from Namek!" Hermione turned her head solemnly, looked at Harry who was staring at the terminal in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "Huh? Harry, do you think there's anything wrong with the game I modified?"

Harry opened his eyes wide, and murmured, pointing at the screen, "Why do I feel... the... Merlin and King Arthur in this game... especially the big picture on the startup screen... looks so familiar... "

Hermione said calmly, "You saw it in your dream."

"Well, probably..."

Hermione thought to herself, as expected, you are the savior, and you are more sensitive than others—what kind of Merlin and King Arthur are these, these are our two founding fathers!

She moved the whole set of games from the Muggle host to the magic host, and it took a lot of effort to superimpose various magic circles; she followed George's suggestion and changed the skin of the original "Super Mario", replacing Mario with Merlin, Princess Peach is replaced by King Arthur, the startup screen directly uses the modified portrait of the founder, and the villain of the game image uses...

She glanced at the Slytherin table.

Tom was finally pulled over by her for dinner, and now he was sitting beside Draco, looking at the screen.That expression, that supple and fragrant cheeks, even hairs on his forehead!

--good!The game character uses the image of a direct descendant of Salazar, Tom's little classmate!

——Eat one mushroom to grow up, eat two mushrooms to fire cannons, eat three mushrooms to speed up and run!

——Who do you use? !If the Salazar on the game poster is the real Merlin, of course you are the little Merlin!

——Don't be shy, dear brother, I have used magic to process the photos into a manga style, and no one else can recognize the prototype of the game character...

Burn it, Tom!Manipulate yourself to clear the level to the end!Maybe there will be an e-sports event that can keep pace with Quidditch in the wizarding world? ! ...

She was thinking wildly with a smile like this, but she heard someone discussing next to her: "By the way, Principal Dumbledore also likes to play this game! I saw his automatically updated speech and screenshots... He seems to be determined to break Ron's It looks like a record!"

"Wow! Our attacking principal!"

"As expected of the principal!"

Well, Dumbledore... she squinted at the auburn-haired man on the staff table who kept sliding his fingers.Speaking of Peter escaping and Voldemort's resurrection is imminent, he doesn't seem worried at all?

"...Speaking of which, Arthur is such a scumbag!" A girl suddenly said loudly.

"agree."

"Agreed +1."

"...is there?" Someone raised an objection.

"Obviously I hate magic, but I still want to borrow Merlin's power!"

"That's right! He's just a Muggle, why should he discriminate against magic!"

"That's not the case!" The Muggle-born couldn't sit still, "He's just a mortal! But he's also the king of Britain! King Arthur's mother was killed by a witch when he was a child, and he just has a shadow in his heart!"

"Even so! But he is not good to Merlin at all! Merlin always has to go through many obstacles to save him, and he still doesn't understand!" A girl said, patting the table, almost wiping away tears.

——Uh... what is this unfolding...

Hermione blushed slightly.

"Yes, yes! Why does Merlin always save Arthur and assist Arthur, but in the end he gets nothing and will be killed by Arthur!"

"Hey, hey, can you tell me some historical facts? Where did Arthur kill Merlin?!"

"Merlin was not directly killed by Arthur, but because of Arthur! If Merlin had never met Arthur, how could he die like that given his greatness?"

"If Merlin hadn't met Arthur, how could he come to Britain from the magical world? How could there be our current wizarding world? You can't say that!"

"...You make it sound like Merlin came to this world just to assist Arthur."

"It was he who assisted King Arthur to achieve the great Britain!"

"I'm going! Why!!! For the greater good, do you want Merlin to be hurt by King Arthur again and again?!"

Unknowingly, the voices of the quarrels became louder and louder, and even drew out their wands...

Hermione was dumbfounded, and hurried up to stop it: "Uh...you guys calm down...this...it was justagame..."

Suddenly Dumbledore came across the long table.He said with a smile: "Miss, please be calm."

Everyone stared and turned off the flames.

Everyone looked at him.Even Hermione was a little surprised.

Dumbledore continued to laugh: "About the Merlin you are arguing about... I think that no matter what Merlin does, great cause or death, he does not do it for the sake of greatness, but for - another kind of Emotion. Because of this emotion, he achieved his greatness."

Someone in the crowd immediately understood: "Ah... the principal wants to say 'love'! It really is the principal!..."

Hermione was speechless for a moment, and Tom rolled his eyes when he saw her delicate and pretty face turning across the crowd...

Dumbledore continued to talk, and the more he said, the more he felt that his heart was bleeding: "Even if it is hurt, Merlin's heart will not regret it. Even...even in the end..."

He suddenly couldn't continue.Because, all of a sudden, including Harry, everyone was looking at him with a very surprised and gossip expression.

"Is the principal telling the truth?!" Everyone whispered.

"As expected...the headmaster must have seen Merlin with his own eyes! Didn't the headmaster rejuvenate a while ago because of Merlin's manifestation?!"

"But I think the headmaster said it in a very sad way!!! It's exactly the feeling of the 'my friend is me' series of posts in the discussion forum!"

"Could it be that the principal was also severely hurt by a person like King Arthur?..."

"Think about it, it's very possible!"

"Oh my god, our poor headmaster! Who did it! No wonder our headmaster hasn't married yet!..."

"The two unmarried young men in Hogwarts who need to be rescued are indeed the headmaster and Professor Snape!..."

Dumbledore was dumbfounded.Although he likes to play, he doesn't understand the Internet, and he didn't expect this at all: After he regained his youth, his current face is really not suitable for being a talker (put) philosophy (mouth) in front of the crowd (Cannon)'s image of a wise elder - when people see him, they will regard him as a star, as an older unmarried young man, gossip about him like Snape gossips without hesitation...

The author has something to say: Roast Chicken: My God!Master, you used the image of Tom to make a copycat skin-changing game, but you didn't pay the portrait rights fee!

Hermione: ╮(╯▽╰)╭I planted it, and the portrait rights belong to me
