[hp] When the devil meets a hooligan

Hand

Tom knew very well the name of this strange man in front of him, and even knew that he was from Hogwarts.The child standing guard in the front hall today had already reported to him the arrival of Professor Dumbledore, even including some of the conversations he overheard while lying at Mrs. Cole's door.Tom stood up, smiled and took the man's hand—a firm handshake.At the same time, the other children restrained their breath very consciously, and slipped out of the room extremely quickly.

"Hello, Professor Dumbledore," said Tom, whose voice has not yet changed, and his soft childish voice is very deceptive, as if he is really just a shy ordinary boy who knows nothing about the future, "very Nice to meet you."

Very pleased, and it was one of the few truthful things Tom said.Whether it was the admission letter to Hogwarts or the fact sheet sent to Mrs. Cole, Tom managed to see it, and read them no less than twenty times.A world of wizards?very funny……

"So you know what I'm here for?" said Professor Dumbledore. "You don't look surprised."

"You came to pick me up from school, didn't you?" Tom gave the look a normal 11-year-old boy would get excited about, as if they were talking about a giant amusement park, "I never thought I'd actually be able to go to school .I mean, Mrs. Cole sure doesn't have the money to spare to send us to a proper school. Oh, I don't mean she treats us badly, she's going to hell to keep this orphanage going."

"She is indeed a respectable lady," Professor Dumbledore nodded, "but you can rest assured about the tuition fee, because as I have explained to Mrs. Cole before, we have a student fund." Pause Suddenly, his deep eyes fixed on Tom's face and said, "Of course, you already know, don't you? That cute little boy, in order to tell you the good news earlier, he also fell down on the stairs. "

Tom's breathing froze for a moment, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but in the next second, he regained his composure.Although the rapid heartbeat could not quickly restore calm, Tom concealed his panic well, and put on an inexplicable and pitiful expression, "I don't know what you are talking about—Benny fell down? Seriously ?"

"So his name is Benny," Dumbledore nodded. "Obviously, you know exactly what I'm talking about."

Before Tom adjusted his distorted expression, Dumbledore continued, "But it's okay, I didn't feel offended. After all, I am a complete stranger to you, and it is indeed very difficult to trust a stranger .”

Tom sighed, his face was half vigilant and half guilty, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, but I'm really disturbed. I've never heard of Hogwarts, and I don't understand that those book lists are What do you mean. I mean, I thought it was a joke at first—what the hell is Hogwarts?"

"I think you have clearly discovered that you are different, and Hogwarts is the school for young people who have this talent. Rather, it is a school for wizards. .”

When Hogwarts was mentioned, Dumbledore's expression and tone of voice changed subtly.It seems that this 'professor' Dumbledore has extraordinary feelings for Hogwarts. Countless thoughts flashed through Tom's mind, but nothing showed on his face.

"Wizard!" exclaimed Tom exaggeratedly. "I, I did realize that I was different from other people, but I was a wizard? Are you a wizard too-oh you must be a great wizard, Dumbledore Professor Lido."

Or not, Tom thought scornfully, how could a powerful wizard come here to touch newborn orphans?Perhaps, this guy named Dumbledore is just a handyman.professor?snort……

Looking at the respectful expression of the boy in front of him, Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "Tom, I think we can skip these flattery, it will only embarrass you and me."

Tom immediately pursed his lips tightly, and at the same time bent the corners of his lips with difficulty.He tried to explain something, but Dumbledore didn't give him a chance, "Although Benny has told you some things, there are still many things you need to know. I think you have seen the list of essential items for new students. I can Take you to the wizard's shop, if you need it."

"That's very, very much appreciated, but you needn't bother at all," said Tom stiffly. "With all due respect, where is that place?"

"Diagon Alley, although Muggles can't see the entrance, you can definitely find it easily." Dumbledore handed Tom a bag of Galleons, "And, these are the student assistants I mentioned Funds, I trust you to put them to good use."

"Muggle?" While taking the bag of gold coins, Tom keenly grasped the awkward word, "You mean those without magic power?"

"Yes, Tom, that's what we call non-wizards."

Billy, Anna, Laura, they must be Muggles, Kyle... Is Kyle a wizard?Tom didn't think he was the same as himself, at least Kyle never understood Parseltongue.Every time he catches those poor cold-blooded animals, his first action is to twist their heads, and everyone can eat a pot of hot snake soup that night.Having been with him day and night for more than a year, Tom is convinced that his "leader" is nothing more than strength...

'It's just' is that the strength is so abnormal, so powerful that it defies the sky, and so powerful that it is insane.

But just to be on the safe side, Tom still asked, "Excuse me, have you ever heard of a man named Kyle? He left here, and I wonder if he went to the wizarding school like me."

"Unfortunately, I didn't see him at school," said Dumbledore. "It seems that your friend is a Muggle. Because Hogwarts is the only wizarding school in England."

Not a wizard?very good.I don't know if the wizarding school will teach something special, so that he can completely defeat Kyle?The joy and violence in Tom's heart surfaced on his face at the same time, Dumbledore frowned slightly, and became more convinced that he could not like the boy in front of him.

But boys always like to compare, Dumbledore tried to persuade himself not to be prejudiced, perhaps, Tom is just a little carried away, which does not mean that he is inherently evil.After all, it's always wrong to peek into a child's mind.

"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore." Tom was refreshed when he heard the good news, and his attitude towards Dumbledore became respectful again, "Thank you for everything you told me. Without you, I really don't know What should I do. Diagon Alley? Remember, don't bother you to take me, I think I can find the place by myself, and then have a good time. And I remember that Hogwarts starts in September? Looking forward to it See you again sometime."

Dumbledore nodded, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Tom recalled the children who had planned to follow Dumbledore.On the one hand, it was because Tom clearly realized that Dumbledore had the same magical power as him. Since he could easily find out that Benny was eavesdropping, he could also quickly find out that he was being followed.He was still a 'Professor', after all, and Tom didn't want to give him a bad impression - although that impression had probably been pretty much ruined.

Tom, on the other hand, felt that he had many other plans to use his hands.For example, looking for other wizards like him?The exact location of Diagon Alley also needs to be known, and although Dumbledore says that Muggles can't see that place, Tom doesn't believe him.The local snakes in that area seem to be the Bourbon Brothers, a pair of idiots. Although it is easy to deal with them, the casinos and underground bars under their control are not easy to deal with...

"Hey Tom, what did he tell you?" Joe asked curiously. "Are you really going to school?"

Tom squinted his eyes and smiled, "Go to school? Of course." If the wizard is really as powerful as in the novels, he will eventually be a hundred times stronger than Kyle.When Kyle returns, he will return the shame that Kyle brought to him several times...

Oh no, maybe he won't come back.

... Will he come back?

……

The distant sea, the stormy sea.On the sea like the end of the world and hell, a small wooden boat is like a toy of the waves, tossed around by the waves wantonly, as if it will be torn to pieces by the stormy waves in the next second.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"... Pour oil! Pour oil!"

"Save—poof!!"

"I! Seasick - ah!!!"

"... small island! small island!"

"Crash——"

Oh my god, this world is so scary!Kyle, who was wearing a rag, desperately held on to the mast, and the strong wind, rain, and salt waves hit his ears and nose, making him dizzy.

If he had known that he was going to die here, he should have given Tom the bag of candies he kept in his possession... Kyle thought vaguely, it would be cheaper for those mice now.

The author has something to say: After reading the original book, I still don't understand why Professor Dumbledore was so wary of Tom in the first place.When he went to pick up someone, he took a drink from Mrs. Cole, as if he knew there was something wrong with this kid...

However, it cannot be denied that Professor Dumbledore is a good professor. This article will not blackmail him, but the Professor Dumbledore here will be stricter. I think Professor Dumbledore should not be as kind when he was young as he was when he was old.

Kyle never expected that he would not be able to come back for three years after his departure.
