[hp] When the devil meets a hooligan

to him, and leave Germany! "

"Who are you?" Tom pointed the tip of his wand at the man's beard. "What do you want?"

"Idiot, I'm the one who wipes your ass!" The man roared in a low voice, "The port key points to the port, and the next thing is up to you. Remember, after leaving Germany, someone will pick you up. Now, quickly roll!"

Tom tightened his wand tightly, took a deep look at the man, then turned around and quietly left the cell with his head down.This time, the god of luck finally stood on their side. After bypassing a few wizards who were yawning and chatting, Tom finally bumped into Kyle who was wrapped in a black robe from nowhere.

"Germany is a place I never want to come to again," Kyle said.

Looking at Kyle's empty left wrist, Tom was too shocked to speak for a moment.

"Minerva, what is so difficult about using pure magic to shape a body?"

On the first day of school, Minerva McGonagall was stopped in the corridor by the Slytherin junior who had just entered the fourth year.Looking at the pale black-haired boy in front of her, Minerva's eyes showed a trace of pity—she had already heard what the boy encountered in Germany during the last summer vacation, "The more stable a substance is, the easier it is to be deformed , you know, that's the basic rule of Transfiguration. And magic? That's the most indeterminate substance in the world, and people are even debating whether it can be controlled."

"But that is also the most powerful substance," Tom said without any hesitation, "We have had a precedent for pure magic, haven't we?"

"If you're referring to the Death's Eye, my dear, that's just a legend," Minerva sighed slightly, "I know you're very sad now, but even St. Mungo's most famous healer would only advise you to use Some of the more common magical stuff, ebony root, is the most popular prosthetic these days."

"I didn't mean to question the authority of St. Mungo," Tom said carefully, "I just want to give him the best. Minerva, is there really no good way to make the magic power condense?"

"Why don't you ask Professor Dumbledore?" Minerva suggested kindly, "He is a real master of Transfiguration, and I think he can definitely give you the best advice."

"Okay, thank you, I'll check again." Tom thanked Minerva before watching her disappear around the corner of the corridor.Dumbledore?No, Tom himself was probably the last person the professor wanted to see in Hogwarts these days.Tom tightened his tie irritably, and strode towards the Slytherin lounge with his legs raised, his pace was so fast that he seemed to leave all the memories of the past month behind.

After eating a few meals of sea fish, Tom and Kyle finally returned to England.The first person they saw upon stepping into port was a sullen Albus Dumbledore.It was the first time Tom saw the professor's serious expression, and even the atmosphere around him was oppressive and gloomy.

"Professor Dumbledore," Tom didn't hide the surprise on his face, "so, you are—"

The professor didn't even care about the Muggles around him, but raised his hand and fired several spells at them.After a moment of tension, Tom held Kyle tightly without letting him resist, because he found that those were just various detection spells.

"Wizard's stuff..." Kyle muttered in a low voice, with a rather unkind expression on his face.

After almost a century, the light from the detection magic surrounding them gradually died down.Dumbledore put away his wand, and the first and only thing he said was——

"I'm so disappointed in you, Tom."

Tom tightened his throat and planned to say something, but Dumbledore obviously didn't intend to listen to any explanation, because he directly grabbed Tom and Kyle and forcibly activated Apparition.After a moment of dizziness, they emerged on a broad street, and it was several minutes before Tom realized they had been taken to the Ministry of Magic.

The moment they were handed over to the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore disappeared.What followed was lengthy questioning, questioning, questioning, questioning.In the small and dark office, Tom and Kyle were bombarded with questions by two neurotic men for a whole day, until they were sure that these two idiots really knew nothing about Grindelwald, they were just talking about Grindelwald. An inappropriate tourist city was chosen at an inappropriate time, which allowed them to leave.

"Stop running around, you idiots," said one of the men. "If Albus hadn't interceded for you, you would have died in Grindelwald's cell."

So... it was Dumbledore who saved them.

But afterward, Tom wondered that their great benefactor didn't want to see him at all.After school started, Tom tried to talk to Dumbledore many times, but failed.Occasionally their eyes met, and the sensitive Tom could see a trace of pain in Dumbledore's eyes... What the hell is going on?

"Hey Tom, get back on your feet."

Tom slowed down and looked sideways, only to see a Hufflepuff girl smiling at him.

"Letia," Tom quickly searched out the girl's name from his mind, "Sorry, there's been a lot of things recently-I haven't missed anything, right?"

"You should relax," Letia restrained her smile. "How is your brother doing now? I heard that the prosthetics installed will not be very obedient at first, but I have a little spell here that can help."

Tom tried his best to raise the corner of his lips and gave the girl a comforting smile, "Thank you, but there's no need. So, is there anything you want to tell me? I have to go back to the lounge..."

"Oh yes," the girl looked around, "As you asked last time, it is true that Professor Dumbledore did not work in the Ministry of Magic, and he definitely never did before."

No?Tom frowned slightly, "But his influence... I mean, he's obviously not an ordinary transfiguration professor, he has strength and connections. If you want me to say, he's even enough to run for the minister."

"Professor Dumbledore is not like those old-fashioned and boring people." Little Hufflepuff waved his hand, "I heard that he has traveled all over the world long ago in order to explore the mysteries of magic, and has learned countless mysterious magic... even Grindelwald was afraid of him, which is why they never set foot in England."

"Do they know each other?" Tom raised an eyebrow.

"This is a secret," Letia's eyes widened. "Oh, of course, there is no such thing as a so-called secret in the wizarding world, it's just whether everyone is willing to pass it on. Professor Dumbledore and Grindelwald were close friends , It was only later that Grindelwald fell, and they parted ways." When talking about her best friend, the girl stretched out her hands and ticked two quotation marks on both sides of her ears.

Tom didn't speak, he stared into Lydia's eyes, deeply doubting the authenticity of this information.The pressure from Tom made the girl feel uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but took a small step back, but she didn't understand what the tension was for.

"Hey, my aunt actually told me this," Letia said, "don't tell anyone else, after all, that experience is not glorious. I still like Professor Dumbledore. Oh, I have to go, You really don't want to hear that mantra for prosthetic anxiety?"

"No, thank you."

"...well, goodbye Tom."

Prosthetic Anxiety?Kyle doesn't suffer from those ghost symptoms.He didn't even have the patience to install those magical prosthetic hands in the wizarding world that can play piano, cook, and paint oil paintings. Instead, he found a blacksmith shop and made a set of steel hooks on his left wrist.After Tom started school, he waved his hook to trouble the Germans all over the world, leaving a brilliant mark on the anti-fascist battlefield as a pirate captain.

What is missing arms and legs?Kyle's only concern right now is whether the hook hand will affect his rapport with Tom.So when Tom and Kyle fled back in embarrassment, the saddest and angry person in the whole brigade was actually Anna.

"I knew nothing good would happen if you went out with him!" When she heard the news, Anna hugged Kyle's broken wrist and cried, "Tom has long wanted to kill you and take control of the brigade alone! You still don't believe it!"

The backs of Tom's cronies around him began to sweat, and they all turned their eyes to Tom.And the latter didn't even bother to answer. Anna's groundless accusations have never stopped since Kyle's return.Of course Kyle would not trust Anna either, he was only a little girl because he was jealous of the close relationship between him and Tom.

Anna, who was isolated and helpless, attacked Tom's private vault while Kyle was away and Tom was in school.The arms trade during the war was extremely prosperous, but Anna's intervention caused Tom to instantly lose one-third of his income.When Tom found out that something was wrong, several of his capable men had been sent to the army by Anna.

...Forget it, the black market shouldn't be done.After searching the Hogwarts library and asking everyone, Tom still couldn't find a way to install the magic hand on Kyle. Finding Slytherin's secret room became the most important thing for him—finding Slytherin. Leterin's legacy and gain true power.It has to be said that the trip to Germany gave Tom an unforgettable humiliation for life, which made him more eager to become stronger.

When he got a little start on the Chamber of Secrets, Christmas came.This time, after reading Kyle's crumpled letter with weird dark brown stains, Tom didn't end up signing the leave list.
