As a studious student, if there are questions that you don't understand, you should naturally ask questions.Based on this principle, Tom stayed after the dinner organized by Professor Horace.After all, it's Ben, so it's better to do it secretly.

"Oh? Tom, I thought you had already left?" Horace saw off the students and was about to drink himself again when he turned around and saw Tom still standing by the fire.

Tom was gentle and polite: "Professor, I think I have some questions to ask."

"Speak, Tom. Your question must be very interesting. Let's hear it." Professor Horace picked up a wine bottle and poured himself wine, talking to Tom.

Tom nodded slightly: "I saw a magic in a book, and it was a bit... Maybe abstract is right. It's very unclear. I read it carefully. In my opinion, although this magic can be achieved , but there is no practicality. It doesn’t seem to make any sense to dwell on the result. But I think maybe it’s because I don’t understand the reason for this magic, so I want to ask the professor to give me some advice.”

Professor Horace was very interested. He knew that Tom specialized in black magic, but in fact, except for the unforgivable spell, other black magic was not banned.Everyone knows Tom's talent, and Professor Horace is also willing to discuss these academic things with him, and mention him a little bit by the way.

"Tell me, what magic?" Professor Horace asked.

"Horcruxes," Tom said.

Tom's attitude was very calm, it seemed that it was just a problem of the levitation spell.But when he asked this question, the relaxed look on Professor Horace's face disappeared immediately, and every pore in his body revealed an aura of caution and fear.

Frowning, Tom didn't seem to understand Professor Horace's current attitude, he called tentatively: "Professor?"

As if under a spell, Professor Horace slowly moved his head to look at Tom: "The spell you saw in the library?"

"Yes, Professor." Tom saw Professor Horace's reluctance: "You know, the world is too big, and we know too little. There are many things that I don't understand well now, just like the spell this time. .”

"Tom, don't touch these untouchable things, this is cursed magic." Professor Horace's voice was very low, and he didn't seem to explain these things to Tom.

Tom frowned, this was not the answer he wanted: "Professor, there is an endless world waiting for us to explore, and this is already a known world, why can't we know it? Instead of intentionally or Unintentionally retaining the unknown, why can't you understand it clearly? How can you let go of your confusion?"

Professor Horace looked at Tom. The kid was so insistent that he didn't even know how cruel and immoral the magic was.According to Tom's consistent thirst for knowledge, Professor Horace is convinced that if he can't let him know the importance now, he will really take the risk to understand this magic in his own way. If he really gets to that point, Tom's safety will not be his. I can guarantee it.

"That spell, based on your soul, preserves the complete split soul. If you die yourself, the split soul will be the continuation of your life." Professor Horace didn't go into details, but already More than recorded in the book.

Tom raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "Split the soul? Split the complete soul? But how do you split it? The soul seems to be everywhere in the body, but in fact it is nowhere to be found. How to find it and split it?" Woolen cloth?"

"Death." The word seemed to be coming from Professor Horace's windpipe: "Using the power of death brought about by murder to split the soul and then preserve it."

Professor Horace's tone was full of panic about murder and death. He even clenched the cup in his hand, and all the muscles in his body tightened.

Tom didn't feel that death or murder was anything to be afraid of. He had experienced many murders and many deaths. die.

The wizarding world has been quiet for too long.Even though the whole world is fighting now, countless people die every minute, even though Grindelwald is watching outside, but the real sense of crisis never seems to appear in the British magic world.

They are still afraid of death, but not because they have faced death directly, but because of death.The stable environment prevents them from even knowing what real death looks like. The murder and death they know is just a report in the newspaper.

A group of wizards who have never seen blood are like a group of lambs without horns in front of the group of bloody wizards under Grindelwald.Tom wondered how the little sheep could keep their lives in front of the German wolves when Grindelwald made up his mind.

"I see, thank you professor." It wasn't very interesting magic, Tom was a little dull, and it was time to leave.

Professor Horace seemed still immersed in the fear brought about by the spell, watching Tom leave without saying a word.

Tom walked out of Professor Horace's lounge, pursing his lips rather uninterestedly, and had already thrown this tasteless magic aside in his heart.

Among the members of the student union waiting outside the door, Tom came out and hurried forward respectfully: "Mr. Riddle, our new member is already waiting in the lounge."

Tom has always followed Hans, but with the expansion of the book club, there are more and more things to deal with, Tom is unwilling to bother himself, so he gives Hans the power.With Tom now and then was the first member of the book club, Dereno Watts.

The orientation of the reading club used to be in the empty classrooms applied to the school. Later, with Tom's popularity, the orientation was moved to the lounge in the cellar.The notification was made the day before, although it did not prevent other students from watching, but during the notification time, the right to use the lounge was only in the student union.

After straightening out the purse at his waist, Tom walked in front.

There were already a lot of people sitting or standing in the lounge, and the students who were watching from outside the study club stood on the steps and did not come down.

Renault opened the cellar door one step ahead of Tom, and all eyes in the cellar gathered at the door.

Tom walked in calmly while watching, and sat on the only sofa left.Hans stood in front of him with the three new members and introduced them to him.

Tom's eyes were on them all the time, and he nodded from time to time listening to Hans' words, as if his attention was all on the three people in front of him, but in fact, he didn't know where his thoughts had gone.

The three newcomers were so excited that their faces were blushing uncontrollably, and their habitual demeanor made them restrain themselves.

It was a great event for them, but it was just a normal time for Tom.He has other things that need to spend more effort. Now that he is in the fifth grade, it is time to choose a prefect.Tom's voice was very loud, but he didn't intend to do it himself. After all, he had to pay corresponding responsibilities for this honor. Tom asked himself that he didn't have so much time to contribute to his classmates.

It's just that this honor can be pushed out, but the final fallout must be on one's own person.After all, taking down the position of prefect, reading club, or myself, is the real mastery of this academy.

Tom's perfect camouflage passed the scene, everyone was satisfied, and the envy of the onlookers was enough for them to have a good dream tonight.

The crowd dispersed, but most of the people in the reading club still stayed in the lounge. The students who were watching joined them and began to chat in a low voice.On one side is envy, on the other side is enjoying envy, everyone is perfectly covering up their roles.

"You've done a good job recently." Sitting at his desk, he was satisfied with Hans' work during this time.

"This is what I should do, sir." Hans didn't dare to take the credit, even though he was already the object of many people's admiration in Slytherin, he still maintained his respect in front of Tom: "For my father's matter , sir, I have nothing to repay, I can only do my best to repay sir."

Hans was talking about his Muggle family.Last year his father lost his job and was robbed, losing not only his property but also a leg.The mainstay of the family collapsed, leaving only a mother who had never worked and a younger sister who was still in kindergarten.Medical expenses, living expenses, just these two things made the Hans family desperate.Fortunately, Tom knew about this matter, and his timely action helped the Hans family.And after Hans' father recovered from his injury, he gave him a job that was enough to support his family.

For Hans, this was a life-saving grace, but for Tom, it was nothing more than a simple sentence: "You deserve it, Hans. I have seen everything you have done, maybe You don't have to take this matter as a favor, just as a gift from me, what do you think?"

"Sir." Hans was touched by Tom's generosity and couldn't say much.

Tom didn't mind. On the contrary, Hans' performance made him very satisfied. If you pay, you should be rewarded. Hans is a person who can be used. It would be better to have more benefits to make him die: "Tell me about the book club." .”

Hans was a little anxious, and almost dropped the notebook in his hand on the ground during his movements, but soon he regained his usual composure, and reported the book club in an orderly manner.

Tom listened, nodded from time to time, and waited until Hans finished speaking before picking up a piece of parchment on the table and handing it to Hans: "This is a paper of mine, about the magic pattern, you should take it back and read it first. Look, I hope you can read and understand it completely today, and tomorrow night I will start teaching you how to draw tattoos."

This parchment was summed up by Tom based on his epiphany on the five-element symbols. Although he has only mastered water, and the wood traces are only holding one side, these are enough for him to make a name for himself in the magic world. .

This paper has been passed to the Magic Association, and Tom is confident that he only needs to wait for the award to be awarded.
