HP Wendy's crossing running account

"I'm going to expand the 'Tree of Wisdom'." One day when they were exercising around the lake, Tom suddenly said.

Wendy accidentally bumped into Tom's back.She took two steps back unsteadily, before standing still, her body fell backwards.Tom reacted quickly, turned around and took a step forward, grabbed her wrist, and gently pulled her in his direction.Wendy pushed her hands on Tom's muscular chest and abdomen, and then she regained her body's center of gravity.

"It's up to you to decide." The girl's smooth and delicate face was slightly pink, and sweat ran down her cheeks, shining brightly in the winter sun. "You decide." She repeated, "Confidentiality, regulation, distribution of benefits... I believe you will handle it better than me."

Tom took her hand and walked slowly forward.He looked very happy, and few people could grasp the point of the problem so quickly, which was why he liked talking to Wendy.Even if he doesn't need anyone to make up his mind for him, and is purely driven by the desire to talk, a smart person is much better than a fool. "Expansion will indeed bring a lot of trouble, but at present what we lack the most is the contacts in the wizarding world. During the war, the Minister of Magic licensed the existence of the Riddle Factory. What about after the war? If we want to continue to make magic industrial products , it is necessary to obtain the support of more wizards—of course, the Prime Minister will continue to exert pressure, they have already tasted the sweetness of magic—but it would be best if they have the support of the wizarding community.”

"There are raw materials."

"That's right, there are raw materials." Tom licked his lips. "Our most stable raw material is crystal ore, because Uncle Alphard's Squib works in the mine. But what about herbs? I don't want to talk to Diagon Alley every time The pharmacy store ordered nettle root and datura, the quantity is too large, they have already begun to suspect. I heard that the Berster family and the McMillan family have herbal medicine farms, if there is a trustworthy Muggle classmate in the Remote rural areas can also be planted by them. You know, I don’t like upstream being controlled by other people.”

"Sounds reasonable."

"However, if there are too many people, the secrets may be leaked. Before we have a firm foothold and cannot be shaken, we must not let too many people know, otherwise our small group will suffer from the disaster of being involved in the secrecy law."

Wendy turned her head and thought for a while: "What are you going to do?"

Tom swiped his arm: "Confidentiality classification. I don't have any hope for the willpower of most little wizards. At present, at the core, it is only the six of us who know the whole picture of the factory. Relevant part. There may be someone who will stand the test of time and become a core member in the future, but that is in the future."

Wendy thought about it in her mind.Among the current six people, Wendy and Alphard have a strong friendship with Tom; Nott is almost Tom's fan; Abraxas is a pure-blood orphan with a relatively simple relationship; Stuart Weasley.But Yost is a serious and honest person, and it is difficult to betray him in terms of character.In other words, Tom selects core members based on loyalty first, and ability second.It's a bit of cronyism, but it does greatly improve the security.

"Why don't you consider magical contracts? Unbreakable spells or something."

"I have considered it." Tom looked a little cold, "but it can only be regarded as a punishment after breach of contract, a remedy. No, it is not even a remedy. Death cannot turn back time."

Wendy felt a little uneasy and tried to pull her hand away.But Tom held her tighter: "But I will add the magic contract. As a means of enhancing the sense of belonging and cohesion. Don't worry, I will take care of it."

Wendy lowered her head, and it took her a long time to utter a syllable: "Okay."

Satisfied, Tom grabbed Ome's hand and continued walking.The sun had completely risen, and it shone warmly on people.

"I want to try my best to find people from the lower grades or the same grade. After the senior grades graduate, it will be difficult to control. I have almost screened out the little wizards of Slytherin. For Hufflepuff, I have tentatively decided on Little Mag and Farrell. Little Meg was more than happy to help us because of the incident in the second year; and Miss Farrell, I told her it was a group working on improved potions, and she seemed very interested. Jost in Gryffindor Promised to give me the list of candidates next week. There is still Ravenclaw left, do you have any recommendations?"

"I... I probably don't know much about the lower grades."

"It's not good for you to do that." Tom said disapprovingly, "Two of the five adult wizards recruited by the factory are Ravenclaws. Your college will be the place that will produce the most researchers in the future, and we must pay attention to it."

"If you want to know the status of little Ravenclaw wizards, I have someone to choose."

"Oh?"

"It's also the person involved in the mirror incident in the second grade."

"Pings? That neurotic and jealous idiot?" There was a trace of obvious disgust on Tom's face, and he suppressed it in an instant. "Tell me."

Wendy has been paying attention to his expression: "No?"

Tom smiled, as if he was holding a knife: "You don't mind what she did to you, so what should I mind?"

"Pins has a good mechanical memory. And she, hyperfocused, is as sharp as a radar. You know what I mean?"

"It's an advantage to be small-minded." Tom sneered twice, "I see."

"Tom?"

"I'll look for her. There are no useless people in the world, only misplaced people. I know that."

"Wisdom Tree" is a highly efficient collective.At the Chamber of Secrets party in early February, Wendy met new faces.Farrell, Uriel Ollivander, and even the first-year Sprout, this is only known to Wendy, from these names, we can see the vision of the "wisdom tree".

Tom, the host, behaved like a study freak, and prepared various potion science materials and props, so that the top students could play freely.At the same time, some factory-related or non-factory-related potions questions were posted on the bulletin board for selection, as if they were really just a potions research group.

And on next Saturday, the people present were mainly pure-blood family members mainly Slytherin.Wendy didn't go, but I heard from Yost that it was a party that night, with fancy clothes, food and dancing, and a lot of talking about the world, from how many shops XX's grandfather had in Diagon Alley to how many times XX's aunt remarried .

Tom is a natural leader who weaves people with very different personalities, backgrounds, and talents into a huge web.He can not only impress academic masters with his talent, but also attract pure-bloods with his demeanor and conversation, and quickly established a three-level system of "core members-official members-peripheral members".Soon, Wendy noticed that someone had put a silver logo on the neckline of the school uniform: either a tree, or an apple, or a snake, and the words "Eden", "Wizard" and "IT". .

Such small badges are exquisitely crafted and come in a variety of patterns.In the eyes of outsiders, it is just a decoration, but in the eyes of official members of the "Wisdom Tree", it is a striking logo.Abu especially likes to wear his complete wisdom tree icon with a silver background and a golden carving. Whether in the corridor or in the classroom, he seems to be able to feel the subtle envious eyes.

It is a good thing that the badges of the core members are enviable, which means that the little wizards are motivated by this and will continue to work hard to get closer to Tom.

At the same time as the formation of the Anti-Fascist League, there was also a union of pure-blood, half-blood and Muggleborn among the students at Hogwarts. The "industrialization of magic commodities" that "Tree of Wisdom" upholds determines that they are naturally "pro-Muggles", and at the same time can expand the interests of wizard families.By the end of fourth grade, Tom had monopolized his influence in the lower grades.The extreme blood theory forces of the Walburga Party, as well as the scattered small self-protection groups of the Muggle Seeds, were either squeezed into a corner, or were digested and absorbed by the "Tree of Wisdom" as peripheral members.

Tom really handles things well.

It was far better than the vague appearance in Wendy's distant memory.
