"Beryl? Is Tom here?" Mrs. Cole's voice sounded outside the door. Tom opened his eyes and looked at the sleeping Luo Bai before opening the door.

Tom opened the door and closed it carefully. In front of him was Mrs. Cole, who smelled of alcohol, and a strangely dressed man whom he didn't recognize.

"Did you call me ma'am?" Tom asked Mrs. Cole, but his eyes kept wandering to the man next to her.

"Is this the doctor?" he asked. "The one who saw Beryl?"

"No, no, no," Mrs. Cole introduced to Tom, with a hint of joy on her face: "This...Dunderdoll, um, I'm sorry," she said to the gentleman: "Mr. I'm here to find you."

The gentleman was not angry because of Mrs. Cole's mistake, he greeted Tom with a good-natured smile: "Hello, Tom."

Tom's expression suddenly became alert, he stared at the smiling man in front of him, and remained silent.

"Okay, sir, I think you must really want to have a good chat with Tom, so I won't bother you." She gave Tom a warning look, said goodbye to the man and went downstairs.

"Relax, kid." Dumbledore introduced, "You can call me Professor Dumbledore."

Tom became gloomy for a moment. He stared at Dumbledore with menacing eyes, but he quickly restrained himself and said to Dumbledore, "Come with me." He walked to his room.

Dumbledore nodded slightly, glanced at the closed door with interest, and followed Tom into his room.

As soon as he arrived in the room, Tom's whole body immediately changed: "Who are you? What are you looking for?!"

Dumbledore stretched out his hand: "I just introduced it, you can call me Professor Dumbledore."

Tom saw the hand stretched out in front of him, touched it hesitantly, and then quickly retracted: "Professor? Is it similar to a doctor? Did Mrs. Cole ask you to see me?!" He retreated to the bedside and his tone changed. Angry: "Is it from a lunatic asylum?!"

Dumbledore looked at the angry child in front of him, and he felt that his anger was obviously not as exaggerated as he showed.

"No, it's not a lunatic asylum, Tom, and the professor is not a doctor." He looked at the thin and pale boy: "You and I are not crazy either."

"...Then why did you come to see me?" After a while, Tom's face gradually calmed down.

"We are a school - Hogwarts, I think you have received the notice?" Dumbledore folded his hands, "It will be your new school if you want."

"The letter from that strange owl?" Tom sat on the bed, he didn't greet Dumbledore: "Yes, I received it, so what?"

"Hogwarts is a school built for children with special abilities," Dumbledore watched Tom's movements, he took out a slender stick from his pocket, and Tom carefully watched his movements.

"A - school of wizardry." Dumbledore conjured up a carved wooden chair, sat on it, and looked at Tom.

"...Magic?" Tom looked at Dumbledore's movements and asked him softly, "So, those abilities of mine are magic?"

"Yes." Dumbledore introduced: "There you will conduct a systematic study on how to control power and apply it."

Tom's face was full of ecstasy. He used to firmly believe that he was different. Now someone told him that the power he possessed was magic, and he could learn more deeply. How could this not make him happy? flashed through my mind...

"That school, as long as it can use... magic, will it be accepted?"

"Basically, yes," Dumbledore raised one eyebrow: "Tom, you need to maintain basic courtesy at school. You should call me Mr. or Professor."

"...Okay, sir," Tom said, "so, roughly what conditions can you be admitted?"

"When a little wizard, that is, a child who can use magic, when he is ten years old, Hogwarts will send him a notice."

"Then, what if it's over ten years old?... Sir." Tom was a little anxious.

"This kind of thing rarely happens. We have a special, uh, department to record these things." Dumbledore observed Tom's performance with his fingertips.

His words caused a slight change in the expression on Tom's face: "Okay...thank you, sir, I..." Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a knock on the door: "Tom? Are you there ?" Luo Bai's hoarse voice sounded.

Tom also ignored the conversation with Dumbledore, he jumped off the bed and hurried to open the door.Dumbledore also rose from his chair.

"Beryl, why are you here?" Tom opened the door and led Luo Bai in.

"I feel much better, and I just want to tell you... oh!" Luo Bai noticed that there was another person in the room, and he awkwardly greeted Dumbledore: "Hello, sir."

Dumbledore also stretched out his hand: "Hello, Beryl, if you don't mind, you can call me Mr. Dumbledore." Obviously, Beryl's politeness won Dumbledore's favor for him. After shaking hands with him, he even wanted to give him his own stool, but Tom refused without hesitation.

"I'm sorry, Tom, I didn't know you had... guests." Luo Bai said to Tom embarrassedly: "I think, I should go back."

"No, Beryl, it's not a big deal." Tom said to Luo Bai.

"I'm sorry, I'm the one who interrupted you." Dumbledore watched the child who was still covered in thorns talking to Luo Bai tenderly, and he winked his bright blue eyes playfully at Luo Bai.

Tom glanced at Dumbledore, turned his head and introduced to Luo Bai: "This is Dumbledore...Professor."

"Oh!" Luo Bai was surprised and exhaled softly.

The other two people in the room looked at him strangely.

"do you know him?"

"Have we met?"

Similar words came out of Tom and Dumbledore's mouths, they looked at each other, Tom looked away.

"...Of course not, I just think this name is very strange." Luo Bai felt annoyed, and hurriedly explained.Tom and Dumbledore were silent for a while at the same time, both showing a clear expression, but obviously none of them believed Luo Bai's words.

Dumbledore sat back on the chair after Robby sat on the bed.

"Well, I've come to ask Tom about going to our school."

"Oh, um, what school?" Luo Bai pretended not to understand.

"A magic school." Tom said.

Dumbledore glanced at Tom unexpectedly, then smiled at Luo Bai and said, "That's right, that's right."

Even though he knew that Tom would go to Hogwarts, Luo Bai still couldn't help sighing, "It's amazing, magic, congratulations, Tom." He understands Tom's abilities, and if he is given a platform, his future is absolutely limitless, And Tom's temper is not as paranoid as in the book, he is a very considerate child.

"I won't go," said Tom, bowing his head.

This time Dumbledore was even more surprised, he didn't even hide the expression on his face, he naturally saw Tom's desire for power.

"Tom!" Luo Bai exclaimed, "Why don't you go?"

"I doubt the impartiality of this school," said Tom. "It doesn't look like it's open to everyone with special abilities." And...

"Why do you think so?" Dumbledore felt that this journey was full of surprises. He stood up and listened to Tom's explanation. This was the first theory he had heard in so many years—doubting the fairness of Hogwarts admission

Tom glanced at Luo Bai and said to Dumbledore: "Beryl should also have so-called magic, why didn't he receive the notice?"

"Is that so?" Dumbledore had heard her talk about Beryl in Madam Cole's office, but before he came, he had made it clear that Tom Riddle was the only one who could receive the notice in this orphanage. people.so what's up with this kid

"Would you mind letting me see you Beryl?" Dumbledore asked Luo Bai politely.

Luo Bai was a little at a loss, Dumbledore's visit and Tom's refusal to go to Hogwarts had already shocked him, but what did Dumbledore's words mean now

"Of course, yes." Luo Bai replied hesitantly, Tom grabbed his hand, gave him a comforting look, and secretly gave Dumbledore a threatening look.

Dumbledore took out his wand and waved it at Luo Bai, a golden light enveloped Luo Bai, and Tom stared at him without blinking.Gradually Dumbledore's eyebrows furrowed, the child...

The golden light slowly dissipated, and Luo Bai's figure became clear. Before Tom could react, he fell limply to the ground.

"Beryl!" Tom was shocked. He reached out to help Luo Bai, but Dumbledore, who had longer legs and feet than him, took a step ahead——

"Let go of him! You liar!" Tom's eyes flashed red, and he yelled at Dumbledore angrily, full of rage, everything in the room moved and left their original positions.Angrily, he wanted to direct things to attack Dumbledore, and wanted to snatch back the pale Luo Bai in his arms, but Dumbledore easily resolved it with a wave of his wand.

"Calm down Tom, I need to take Beryl to Hogwarts, maybe he can solve his problem, you can come too, I think this is very important to you."

Tom controlled his breathing and burst of magic to calm himself down, and after a while he said, "Okay."
