Chapter 111: Unlucky Tom Riddle!
The Iron Armor Charm is a very practical and powerful spell.
If we want to learn well, we must first..."
It was almost ten o'clock.
It was finally time for the Dueling Club to adjourn.
The little wizards came out of the classroom in twos and threes.
Excitedly talking about today's class.
Most of them are about Boggarts.
In particular, the opponent can change into various forms.
And of course the spell that Braun taught them against boggarts.
Everyone felt they had learned a lot.
"I dare say.
Grandma will be very happy to know that I can defeat the Boggart!"
Neville said excitedly.
Seamus on the side also looked very excited.
"I'm going to teach that Boggart a lesson with a spell tomorrow!"
Although it made him feel a little regretful that it wasn't his turn today.
But after thinking that he would be able to face Boggart tomorrow, he couldn't help looking forward to it.
Even Ron was thrilled.
Because he defeated the giant spider that the boggart turned into.
Only Harry looked a little sullen.
Today's events still have a great impact on him.
He still couldn't understand why the thing he was afraid of was Braun?
He couldn't figure it out.
Ron also saw his friend's confusion.
Comforted up.
"Who knows what those boggarts will conjure up.
Maybe it's why you're so dazed today.
After all, Braun must have been the only thing on your mind after he was handed over to you.
Maybe you can try again tomorrow. "
Ron's reassurance was still useful.
Of course, there may also be Harry's intentional evasion.
He nodded in agreement.
Decided to try again tomorrow.
He felt compared to Braun.
Even if, like Neville, the most feared person becomes Snape, he can accept it.
As people all leave.
Only Hermione was left in the classroom.
"Why don't you leave?"
Braun asked puzzled.
And Hermione looked a little discouraged?
"Braun, do you think I'm particularly useless?
The things that other people are afraid of are dark creatures.
My fear turned out to be failing the exam..."
As she spoke, even Hermione herself felt a little blushing.
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Braun asked, sitting next to Hermione.
The other party seemed a little puzzled.
Braun continued:
"Fear, in fact, 28 is what a person cares most about.
Or the death of a loved one or being frightened by something in childhood.
Or maybe it's because Neville is always reprimanded by Professor Snape, and has accumulated fear over time.
All you have to fear is failing a test compared to everyone else.
This is actually nothing at all. "
Hermione stared wide-eyed, looked at Braun's side face and couldn't help but wonder:
"And you Braun?
Why are you afraid of werewolves?"
Braun was silent for a moment.
But in the end he spoke in a calm manner.
"That was almost a year ago.
At that time, I received my acceptance letter from Hogwarts.
My parents are very happy.
They were expecting me to be like them, to be a La Wen Keluo and go to St. Mungo's Hospital to do like them.
become a doctor.
In order to celebrate my successful receipt of the notice, they specially asked the hospital for a day off to take me shopping in Diagon Alley.
Everything is so beautiful.
But on the way back we were attacked by werewolves.
My parents were mediocre, so they were killed by those three werewolves on the spot.
And because I was relatively young, I was taken away by the other party and sold to the leader of the black wizard or werewolf.
I stayed in that dark cave for a full month.
There were dozens of children locked up with me at that time.
In the end it was just me and two other muggle kids
Braun told the story calmly.
As if all this had nothing to do with him.
I still think about it from time to time, as if recalling the scene at that time.
"My life is good, and I will kill those two werewolves in the end.
One of them is also under my control.
But the fear at that time must still be in the heart.
Maybe that's why boggarts turn into werewolves!"
Braun smiled at Hermione.
It was just the smile that always made her blush before.
At this moment, Hermione felt so distressed in her eyes.
"Sorry... Braun...
I don't know.......I shouldn't have asked. "
Hermione seemed at a loss, not knowing what to say.
She didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
'He must have suffered a lot when he was imprisoned in the crypt......
Hermione thought to herself.
At the same time, he looked at Braun with more and more guilt.
I don't think I should ask more questions.
"nothing."
Braun smiled.
"It's all over, isn't it?
But the death of my parents did make me understand a truth. "
He looked at Hermione suspiciously.
Braun said slowly:
"For wizards, only strength is real!"
Hermione was speechless.
Looking at Braun who looked serious, he didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, don't talk about that.
Do you want to eat a peach fruit?"
As if by magic, Braun took out a peach and handed it over.
I also ate it with a big mouthful.
Hermione took it.
He is also somewhat used to Braun's behavior of always being able to take out things at hand.
I think it should be Braun's pocket that has been cast with the No Trace Charm.
"Goodbye Braun!"
Hermione waved.
Braun also stood in the classroom and waved his hand.
Smiling and watching each other leave.
"Sorry, Hermione, I lied to you."
Braun looked at the figure of the other party and murmured softly.
Turning around, the box containing the Boggart was opened again.
Only this time it wasn't a werewolf that appeared in front of Braun.
It's a middle-aged man, and his appearance is seven points similar to Braun.
It's just that the temperament has a kind of gloom that can't be melted away.
It was as if the world was alienated from him.
"So it's loneliness that I'm afraid of?"
Looking at the middle-aged man, Braun had a dazed look in his eyes.
But soon became firm again.
Accompanied by a mantra.
The Boggart, who was about to move closer to Braun, wailed in pain.
Even after hiding in the box, he was still shaking uncontrollably.
"Sometimes we always need to face our fears.
Dumbledore walked in at some point.
There was still a smile on his face as before.
"Your lectures are very good, and the textbooks you choose are also very good."
While talking, Dumbledore picked up the textbook on the table and flipped through it.
The look is full of nostalgia.
"A classic never goes out of style, does it?"
Braun replied with a smile.
"Maybe I'll consider being a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts when I graduate?
I think this should also be a good choice.
Dumbledore put down the book and pushed his glasses:
"That's not a good job, after all, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is a well-known high-risk job.
Dumbledore joked, and then there was a hint of playfulness at the corner of his mouth:
"I remember you said you were going to punch Voldemort and kick Grindelwald in the future.
Then become the savior of the wizarding world and marry several wives?"
Braun thought about it seriously:
"Then I'll go back to Hogwarts to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor after I finish those things!"
Dumbledore froze for a moment, then a smile bloomed on his face:
"Well then, if I'm still the principal by then, I'll definitely send you a letter of appointment!"
After bidding farewell to Dumbledore, Braun also walked towards the lounge.
When passing by the second floor, I happened to meet Filch.
But the other party seemed to have been notified, so he just gave Braun a fierce look, and then took his cat to other places.
"Hungry to eat..."
A hoarse voice stopped Braun who was going downstairs.
"What are you doing? Why don't you hurry back to the break room?"
Filch couldn't help but address Braun.
His eyes looked at Braun ferociously, as if the other party would take him away as soon as he made a slight rebuttal.
"Sorry, I'll just go back."
Braun smiled politely.
He walked away under Filch's fierce gaze.
"Is it a basilisk?"
Braun said to himself.
The sounds made by snakes are not the same as those made by humans.
That hoarse voice made Braun think of no other creature but the basilisk.
"It seems that I have to find a time to go to the secret room."
The following days became more and more peaceful.
Clubs are also held on Saturdays and Sundays every week.
Lockhart may have been stimulated by that day.
In the following days, I almost never came to the Dueling Club again.
He also became taciturn in class.
But this state is only temporary for him.
It didn't take long for the other party to return to his boastful appearance again.
Make the little wizards look uneasy.
And Braun kept using his soul to get secrets from Tom Riddle.
He could feel that the power of the diary was also increasing.
But he wasn't afraid.
Because everything is under his control.
Only Tom Riddle remained in the dark.
"Slytherin has a unique secret room hidden in the school.
As long as you find him, you can get the treasure that belongs to Slytherin!
Trust me, Tom, that's a treasure trove that will make you a powerful wizard!
You must know that Slytherin is the only wizard among the four giants who has mastered the two disciplines of potion and alchemy and has deep research!"
"I see, Tom.
I'll be there. "
Braun said perfunctorily again.
This is how many times Tom Riddle wanted him to find the Chamber of Secrets.
Since the opponent's strength has become stronger, he has changed the topic to the direction of the secret room in different ways almost every day.
It made Braun tireless.
"If there is nothing else, I won't talk to you.
Also, your recent knowledge is really becoming less and less nutritious. "
Seeing Braun's actions, Tom Riddle became a little anxious.
Quickly began to reveal the news.
"Wait, don't close me yet!
I still have news!
There's a memory in the Room of Requirement at school
Contains the notes of the disappearing cabinet.
No wonder Tom Riddle was in such a hurry.
Every time when Braun didn't want to talk, he would lock him up and take it out after a few days or even a week.
If only that's the case.
What made him even more unacceptable was that the soul power that Braun gave him was very strange.
Although my strength has become stronger, I can't control it when I manipulate it.
Its function is only to enable myself to write more words in the diary?
He is a Horcrux!
Shouldn't it be time to time to control someone from absorbing fear?
Is it really going to be a question-answering machine for little wizards now?
Originally, he thought about prying open Braun's heart through constant getting along.
Then wait until Braun opens his soul and control him.
He has used this trick many times.
Perfect success every time.
But this time it failed at Braun!
This power was of no use to Braun.
The other party's heart is like stubborn ice.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pry the gap open.
Then how do you play yourself?
He didn't think the other party would keep him after draining him dry.
Everyone is Slytherin!
Not to mention that the other party's teacher is Nicole Flamel.
When the time comes, pack it yourself directly as a birthday present or Christmas present.
Then he has no hope at all.
A wizard who has lived for six hundred years, seeing such a precious Horcrux specimen as himself, why not study it carefully?
'No! I have to find an opportunity to change someone as soon as possible! In vain, I still think this little wizard is so foolish!
It really made Tom's heart black!"
Tom Riddle secretly thought about how to get away.
And Braun smiled as he looked at the contents of the diary.
"That's good news!"
Then he closed the notebook and put it in the drawer.
I plan to go to the Room of Requirement later and then go to wool.
But no 647 stared at Braun and made a move.
The door of the alchemy classroom was pushed open.
"What's the matter Zabini? How did you get water all over your body?"
Braun frowned.
It's autumn now.
Although the climate is still warm at this time.
But it's also a cold.
Zabini did not answer but took out something with his backhand.
"Look at this!
I got another piece!"
Looking at the live tentacles that were still wriggling in Zabini's hands, Braun felt a little speechless.
Is this guy addicted to food?
Go cut the giant squid's tentacles again!
And this time it was even bigger than last time!
"Aren't you afraid that the big squid will eat you one day?"
Sabini waved his hand indifferently.
"This is what I replaced!
Originally, I wanted to cut it, but the big squid seemed to know me.
Throw me straight into the water.
It took a long time to come out.
Then I try to give it all that shark meat!
It seems to be the first time to eat something in the sea, very happy!
Then he generously gave me a large tentacles.
How about going to the cafeteria to eat fried shredded squid?"
Braun hesitated for a while, but finally nodded without resisting the temptation of squid shreds.
Just before going out, he took a meaningful look at his desk.
"You'll have to wait for me when I come back, Tom! We've been working very well together, haven't we?"
After speaking, he didn't expect the other party's answer.
He opened the door and left the classroom.
The classroom was quiet after Braun left.
But it didn't take long.
The table trembled.
Accompanied by a bang.
A battered notebook was spit out of the hole in the table.
And a figure appeared on top of the notebook.
"Waiting for you? I'm waiting for you xx!"
Tom Riddle looked sad and angry.
Of course, there is also pride.
He felt that the other party would never have imagined that he could already manifest his soul.
Taking advantage of the other party's carelessness, I have to escape from this place as soon as possible.
And just as he was thinking about it.
The sound of footsteps outside made him retract his notebook again.
This is Hogwarts.
He naturally knew the danger here.
In case any professor finds out, he can hold his own funeral in Dumbledore's office within an hour.
He honestly huddled in his notebook.
I want to wait for the footsteps to leave.
But the footsteps were getting tighter and tighter.
This also made Tom Riddle nervous.
I'm afraid it was Braun who turned back.
But luckily, the worst didn't happen.
The one who came in was a middle-aged man with carefully groomed blond hair.
Wearing a colorful wizard robe.
It doesn't look very serious like a peacock courting a mate.
The other party muttered and seemed to be looking for something here.
But after searching, I found nothing of value.
"What a piece of shit!"
Seeing a notebook by his feet, the middle-aged man kicked it in dissatisfaction, venting his emotions. .
