"What are you talking about?" Sean was dazed in his heart but remained calm on the surface, and said, "Of course I'm not a wizard, I'm just a squib."

At this time, disputes are raging between the wizarding world and Muggles. Wizards avoid Muggles and are unwilling to have any deep friendship with them. Moreover, if Muggles are mixed into the wizarding world, it will definitely be big news, so Shaw Eun was the one who pretended to be a Squib in the first place.

A lie needs thousands of rounds, Xiao En swallowed, lowered his head and focused on the stirring rod in his hand, a mist gradually rose from the crucible, and rushed towards his face.

Tom took a fixed look at Sean, his eyes were sharp, and there was a long silence. When Sean thought that Tom might continue to ask, Tom smiled, "Relax, I'm just asking."

As if nothing had happened, Tom returned to the table. He picked up the sharp knife, his eyes reflected on the smooth surface.

Speaking of which, Slughorn really found a good place for himself.

Humming an unknown tune, Tom grinds the unicorn horn. It is the most excellent neutralizer. The powder is as fine as sand, and it is piled up in a crystal clear crystal bottle.

Slughorn could be regarded as Tom's teacher, decades ago.

When Tom was still at Hogwarts, Slughorn served as the dean of Slytherin. Because of Tom's excellent academic performance, he was naturally loved by the professors.

What can be more fascinating than knowledge and power?

Slughorn has always revered these things that can bring him benefits, and Tom is also favored by Slughorn for this reason.

Each takes what they need, this is how Tom understands the teacher-student relationship between them.

Not only in the past, but also now.

But Dumbledore came out to intervene.

A tinge of red suddenly appeared in Tom's pupils. He held the knife in his hand and smashed the medicinal materials. The blood was fleeting.

Carelessly licking away the blood dripping from being cut by the blade, Tom fell into memory again.

The sudden visit of Dumbledore and the Savior can be said to have caught Slughorn off guard, and Tom hid in the house, listening to their conversation outside the house.

Dumbledore invited Slughorn back to Hogwarts as a professor.

Slughorn rejected their invitation, saying that he was avoiding the Death Eaters, but in fact, there was also a big reason for Tom hiding in the house.

If he had gone to Hogwarts, there was a good chance that Tom's whereabouts alone would be exposed.

Be a professor at Hogwarts?

Tom rubbed his nose, thinking it was a good decision too.

He wanted to see what his other self, who was called the "mysterious man", wanted to do.

As a member of the Horcruxes, Tom naturally understands that the Horcruxes are inextricably linked. As soon as he woke up at Gunter's house, he used magic to block the connection between himself and the mysterious man.

But it was just a simple magic, which made Tom faint and fell to the ground. He had a shocking realization in his heart that his current incorporeal body could not store enough magic power, instead it was passing by time.

This requires a long period of recuperation, and potions to remodel.

If Slughorn can go to Hogwarts, the potion gathering in the Forbidden Forest can get most of the materials he needs, and the most important thing is to be able to get close to the Savior.

Why not eat the food delivered to his mouth, Tom hinted with magic, and Slughorn finally accepted Dumbledore's invitation.

At the beginning, Tom lived in the hotel behind the Pig's Head Bar. It was dilapidated and filled with a smell of corruption. There was a lot of people moving here, and it was the most difficult place to be found if it was hidden here.

At the same time, Tom took compound decoction every day, which changed his appearance and blended into the crowd more.

Slughorn would often meet with Tom in the middle of the night. The medicinal materials and tools in the dean's office were all available, so that the potion he could concoct was several times better than Tom's concocting secretly in the room.

They would occasionally discuss the current situation in the wizarding world. As expected, Tom expected that he would only need a year to fully recover.

But the accident last night forced Tom to withdraw from Hogsmeade overnight.

The night sky was also dyed red by the fireworks soaring into the sky. Tom disembarked to a high place early, and the scene of Hogsmeade had a panoramic view, and the people who wanted to destroy the village stood in the center of the village.

Tom watched him rise into the air and disappear into the night after destroying the entire village.

Slughorn said that it was the mysterious man who was causing trouble, but Tom just smiled, he already had guesses in his mind.

His eyes fell on Sean who was standing in front of the crucible on the other side of the room. Isn't the correct answer right beside him?

Sean's radar had already begun to beep and drop alarms. The man in front of him was definitely not as friendly as he looked, but Tom had already put on his mask and was carrying out the work in his hands with a friendly face.

Here became Tom's temporary foothold. With a kind heart, Tom did his part to exchange his potion for rent. Now the task is to heal the sick child in the house.

When getting started, Tom briefly checked the boy's body. Generally, Muggle cancers and diseases can be suppressed and cured by potions, but the boy is immune to potions. It looks more like a curse on the family. It survived in the blood.

Tom is not proficient in cursing, but he has dabbled a little.

He can temporarily suppress the deteriorating reaction caused by the curse, but to truly unravel the curse, he still needs Alexander himself, what happened to his wife's family back then, who killed them, and after finding out the reason, destroy the attachment of the curse Body, can let the boy get rid of the current situation.

But Tom had something more interesting now, which gave him a new idea.

There are wizards, muggles, werewolves, vampires, mutants in this world...

As for why the mutant who had the least contact with wizards appeared here, Tom was really curious.

"Tom!"

Alexander banged on the door, shouting anxiously for him to see his son.

Tom dropped the knife in his hand and followed behind Alexander. Sean hesitated for a while, put down the stirring rod in his hand, and followed him upstairs.

The boy lay on his side on the bed and began to vomit blood uncontrollably. The dark red blood from his nose and ears fell on the quilt and clotted into a blood clot. The blood from his throat even made the boy choke. The face, the white eyeballs rolled out, is not far from death.

"Hurry up and save my son."

Alexander begged bitterly, kneeling beside the bed, at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Tom's eyes were sharp, and when he raised his hand, the blanket that had been changed on the boy flew up and fell aside. He lifted the boy's upper body, let him lean his head down on his arm, and kept beating the boy's back.

"Cough cough cough."

The blood clot was coughed up, and the boy yelled for his father.

"I'm here."

Alexander took the boy's hand.

"I, am I going to die..."

"No, with Tom here, he will definitely find a way to heal you."

Tom looked at Alexander with dissatisfaction and made promises at will. This invisible pressure gave him a headache. It is irresponsible to make promises at will when some things are obviously impossible.

Among them, there is also Tom who is ashamed of his current inability.

"Why are you here!"

The boy's life was hanging by a thread. Tom thought that the potion that had just been refined could be drunk by the boy, so as to alleviate his current tendency of being eroded by the curse. He turned around and prepared to go downstairs to get the potion. When he saw Sean cowering at the door , his face was suddenly overcast, and his black face was terribly terrifying, and he scolded him to go back.

Sean wondered, not understanding what he had done wrong.

Tom flicked his cuffs angrily, and stomped downstairs.

Pushing the door open, the potion in the crucible lacked stirring, and had begun to solidify into a jelly-like object.

Tom hurriedly picked up the hunting fly's head and put it in to slow down the deterioration of the potion. After the fire was extinguished, what he finally got was a pot of failed semi-finished products.

Sean watched Tom go downstairs angrily. When he went upstairs, the potion in the crystal bottle in his hand had turned a strange dark green.

Only then did he realize that he seemed to have made a big mistake.

"Well, the potion is okay..."

Sean asked apologetically, but Alexander took the conversation away, "Tom! Is this medicine for my son?"

Alexander, like a traveler who has finally found water after a long drought, rushed to Tom to snatch the potion from him.

Tom ducked sideways, holding high to avoid Alexander's charge.

"Tom! What are you trying to do!"

Alexander's eyes were full of disbelief. At this critical moment, the boy's life was already hanging by a thread. Tom actually refused to give the potion to his son, and immediately stared at Tom as if he was an enemy.

"Cough-cough-"

The boy spat out another puddle of blood, and sweat dripped from Alexander's forehead, "What do you want! Money or rights, I can give you anything, save my son!"

Tom lowered his eyes, shook the crystal bottle in his hand, and the potion flowed slowly in the bottle, "Failed..."

Sean's heart suddenly sank, what does this mean.

"You mean, my son is hopeless?" Alexander asked in a daze.

"How come." Sean whispered, "Is it because of me?"

Alexander glared at Sean.

Tom sneered, this guy has self-knowledge.

Originally, the potion that Tom made was just to suppress the boy's curse reaction, but he didn't expect the boy's illness to be so violent that everyone didn't expect it.

What used to be just an ordinary potion turned out to be a life-saving potion.

According to the current situation of the boy, it is very likely that he will die within a few minutes, and there is no time to cook a pot again.

Sean became the propellant that indirectly accelerated the boy's death.

"There is still a way!"

Sean suddenly thought of it. Wasn't he captured by Slughorn to test the potion? Could it be that the potion has been destroyed based on Tom's words?He hasn't tried it yet!

Stepping forward to avoid the potion, he unscrewed the bottle and poured it into his mouth. Tom was also a little surprised, watching the potion being gulped down by Sean.

"I'm not fine." Sean wiped the corner of his mouth, "Look, the potion might still be useful—"

Before I finished speaking, I closed my eyes again, and the sky spun, and the ground cracked and collapsed.

I only felt a bang in my ear, and Xiao En collapsed to the ground with cold hands and feet, and fell into a coma.
