Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard

"Voldemort, you are really despicable."

Gretel's eyes were obsessed, but that didn't stop him from complaining crazily in his heart.

Tom Riddle is definitely a genius.

It only took more than ten years to do it alone.

Not only can he compete head-on with Dumbledore, but he has also developed a Death Eater organization that puts everyone in the wizarding world in danger.

In the end, even after his death, people were afraid to call him by his first name.

He even said that if it hadn't been for that counterattack, it's hard to say who would be in charge in the magic world now.

It is true that in terms of personal strength alone, Voldemort is probably not as good as Dumbledore, who has been immersed in magic for many years.

It is even said that Voldemort would still be beaten by Dumbledore based solely on the existing magic system.

However, judging from today's lecture, Gretel probably guessed the way Voldemort became stronger.

That is to start with the magic configuration, and then supplement it with those powerful but unstable ancient magics, and finally allowed Voldemort to successfully find another way.

Compared with people who have lived in the wizarding world since childhood, Voldemort lacked the necessary common sense.

But that's not a bad thing, Voldemort is the same as Gretel.

Although he lacks the life experience in the wizarding world, he also lacks the mental constraints that are passed down from generation to generation in the bones of wizards.

After more than a month, Gretel discovered that whether it was from records in ancient documents or from information deduced from the words of young wizards.

In the existing magic system, whenever ancient magic is mentioned, danger is usually mentioned.

The development of ancient wizards was very barbaric. Because of the lack of unified cognition, most of the magic spells they used were deduced by themselves.

Studying configuration combinations or modifications was nothing more than commonplace in that era.

And what is even more barbaric is to first put the idea into practice very boldly, and then derive the results in reverse.

By consulting all the recorded documents, it can be found that the death and injury rate of research wizards is much higher than the average level of other wizards at the same time.

This also creates a kind of qualitative thinking that has been formed since that era of barbaric development: research is equivalent to death and injury.

Later, because ordinary people were afraid of wizards, they began to spontaneously form organizations to persecute wizards.

The wizards who originally lived alone gradually gathered together.

But whether you are a Muggle or a wizard, since you are a human being, you can never violate your natural tendency to be safe.

Those dangerous spells that may cause harm to oneself are gradually abandoned.

Only those safe and practical magic spells have been handed down along with the records.

So later on, the exploration of magic configuration became a niche, and even gradually disappeared over time.

Niche, dangerous, and unknown results. Under the interference of these keywords, fewer and fewer wizards will devote themselves to magic research.

The surrender of the individual to the whole is nothing new.

In addition, there are enough safe spells to ensure that wizards can protect themselves and even live a comfortable life, and no one is willing to take risks in research.

Voldemort was different. He was ambitious. From the moment he saw the magic of magic, he couldn't help but feel excited.

Danger, for him, was more of an accelerant than a hindrance.

For Voldemort at that time, the road of recreating the ancient wizards was a broad road to becoming powerful.

——

To some extent, Dumbledore's assessment was indeed correct.

Gretel and Voldemort are indeed the same kind of people.

The difference is that Voldemort's ambition is to dominate the wizarding world and become the supreme king.

What Gretel wants is to use magic to build his own business empire. This empire will span wizards and Muggles.

No one knows the deepest sense of crisis in Grete's heart, because no one except him has seen the kind of new era that can be called rapid change in just a few years.

The first Dark Lord, Grindelwald, may have seen the development potential of Muggles, so he wanted wizards to rule mankind at all costs.

As for the second generation, Voldemort, who is currently talking on the stage, in Gretel's opinion, is not a qualified Dark Lord at all.

Whether in terms of emotional intelligence or purpose, he cannot be regarded as the Dark Lord.

At best, he is a research genius who has gone astray, a person with zero emotional intelligence who wants to be crowned the King of Wizards through a reign of terror.

Gretel also roughly understood why Voldemort would not let go of him.

To be fair, anyone who has been walking alone in the dark for decades on a road destined to be lonely, and suddenly sees someone who seems to be the same kind of person, will not be able to help but come forward to express his closeness.

In Voldemort's eyes, Gretel is the Tom Two who lives in Hogwarts.

The same talented people, the same born in an orphanage, and finally chose the path destined to be lonely.

The only difference with him is that he chose to develop silently in secret.

Gretel chose not to shy away from asking everyone who was stronger than him for advice.

…

"Mr. Gretel, is there anything you don't understand about what I just said?" Quirrell (Voldemort) put away his wand gracefully and cast a questioning look at Gretel.

Even though she already knew that the person speaking in front of her was Voldemort, Gretel still couldn't restrain her desire for knowledge.

"Professor, the nodes of magic configuration are generally used to guide the operation of magic power and ensure the stability of magic spells.

The shifting of the nodes usually causes the spell to fail, or simply cause the magic hedge to explode because of it. How do you determine the symmetrical third node, which can be moved three-quarters of an inch lengthwise. "

Hearing this question, Voldemort's eyes were filled with admiration. He really didn't expect Gretel to be so profound in the research of magical configurations.

You must know that it was he who only started tentative research on nodes near the year of graduation.

He thought it would be great for Gretel to be able to study the superposition of configurations now.

"For this question, you can go to the library's ancient history bookshelf and check out documents from the third century AD. One of them is "Summary of the Investigation into the Abnormal Magical Riots in Camp County," which mentions the configurational deformation of the Armor Curse."

"Then Professor, here's another thing. After transformation, the seventh node will coincide with the fifteenth node, which will make the direction of the magic run uncertain. How did you solve this problem?" Gretel quickly wrote down the answer and asked the question again. .

"This question can be found in "The Dangers of Uncontrolled Spells", written by Deniset and written in 107 AD."

The teacher and student asked and answered questions in a tacit understanding, and had no time to pay attention to the other little wizards who were dizzy.

It was not until the end of the teaching time that the little eagles and little snakes who were in the fog were relieved.

"Mr. McGarrett, I know you have no classes on Friday morning. I wonder if you would like to come to my office. We can talk in detail about the transformation and combination of magic configurations."

Through Quirrell's body, Voldemort smiled and invited.

"No, Professor, my roommate and I are going to Professor Flitwick's for tutoring on Friday morning. As you know, our dean always welcomes students."

Gretel decisively refused. Although he coveted the research results in Voldemort's hands, he would never gamble with his own life.

Only Terry glanced at Gretel in confusion, and cursed in his heart, "When did you receive counseling with me? You obviously went to eat and drink."

——

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

When Gretel walked into the Transfiguration classroom, it felt like walking into a vegetable market.

Before Professor McGonagall arrived, the eaglets started quarreling with the lion cubs for some unknown reason.

Terry took the lead and stood in front of the group of eaglets, spraying wildly at the little lion in front of him.

As a popular figure among first-year wizards, Gretel naturally attracted everyone's attention when he entered the classroom.

Seeing that Gretel was also coming, Terry seemed to have found a supporter. He hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and dragged Gretel over.

"Mike, please tell them quickly what Professor Quirrell taught in Defense Against the Dark Arts. The Gryffindor people are going to make me mad to death.

Professor Quirrell is obviously a good professor, but they say that the professor is an idiot. As a Ravenclaw, I will never allow anyone to be so disrespectful to a knowledgeable professor. "

After speaking, Terry briefly explained to Gretel what had just happened.

It turned out that when Gretel didn't come, the eaglets were communicating with each other about the armor protection that Voldemort taught in the morning.

When the Gryffindor people heard it, they came over curiously.

At the beginning, everything was in harmony. One side was discussing and the other side was listening carefully.

Until a sentence popped out from the mouth of a certain eagle, "You are wrong. I remember Professor Quirrell said that the main magic route of armor protection still preferentially runs in the transformed body protection configuration.

The accelerated configuration allows one to have a certain degree of evasion ability while ensuring body protection.

If, as you understand, priority is given to the acceleration configuration, although you can dodge faster, the original protective function of the armor will be greatly weakened.

So what's the point of casting armor protection? Wouldn't it be easier to use the acceleration spell directly to save mana? "

As the eaglets argued, the group of Gryffindors realized that the Quirrell in the eaglet's mouth was Quirinaz Quirrell from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

The little lions immediately became furious when they understood.

If Ravenclaw believes that ignorance is the greatest sin of wizards, then cowardice is the first of all sins in Gryffindor.

Professor Quirrell, who usually seemed timid at all times, looked to the entire Gryffindor as a timid rabbit that could be scared to death by a gust of wind.

I don't know what their brain circuits were thinking, but the little lions instantly felt that the eaglets, who had always looked down on them, were preparing to join forces to deceive them, the Gryffindors.

They also took out what happened in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class one by one as evidence to refute the hawks' poor acting skills.

If time could be turned back to last week, Lacklaw would certainly agree with Gryffindor.

After all, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at that time was not taught by Professor Tom Riddle.

But this week, since the substitute teacher came online, what he said has already conquered this group of eaglets who worship knowledge.

In order to restore the image of the professor and maintain the dignity of knowledge, the uncontested eagles, led by Terry, launched a fearless charge against the little lion.

However, the intelligence on both sides was really very different, and no one could convince the other.

Even after a certain eagle said that if you don't believe it, you can ask Slytherin. This war has developed from a confrontation of public opinions to a class conflict.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the whole thing, Gretel felt dumbfounded.

But he did not intend to join this battle. After all, neither he nor Voldemort cared about Quirrell's reputation.

Even Quirrell himself doesn't necessarily care.

This war is an inevitable disaster for both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw.

After all, both sides have different perceptions. The little lions have never seen Voldemort teach as a substitute, while the little eagles don't know that the person who is taking the class is already a substitute professor.

Therefore, the two sides can never reach a consensus in their arguments.

Unless dear Professor Tom Riddle is willing to open his heart to Gryffindor and give a vivid confession.

But it's obviously impossible.

Not to mention the long-standing grudge between Gryffindor and the Slytherin he was born from.

Just talking about the savior Harry, it is impossible for Voldemort to come out and take over.

Although he did not participate, he could not sit back and watch the Gripen War develop into a full-scale martial arts war.

Gretel had no choice but to avoid the most important things and popularize the newly learned armor protection modifications to the little lions.

Anyway, in a few months, Dumbledore will close the net, and Quirrell will become history by then.

Like all Defense Against the Dark Arts professors who did not last until their second year, they disappeared into the memory of a student.

When Professor McGonagall came to the classroom, she saw a harmonious teaching scene.

Gretel stood on the podium and taught seriously, while Little Eagle and Little Lion sat below and studied hard. From time to time, some people asked questions.

This harmonious and friendly scene made Professor McGonagall praise Gretel fiercely, and earned Ravenclaw valuable Academy Cup points.

——

"Mr. Gretel, please come to the office with me. I need to ask you something."

Seeing that Gretel was captured by the professor again, Terry blended into the other eaglets without looking back.

After all, since the beginning of the school year, it has been a habit for professors to ask Grete to stay in class.

It would even be strange if any professor didn't keep Gretel.

And after returning to the tower that day, a group of people with nothing to do would gather together to discuss whether Gretel had made a mistake at some point and finally fell out of favor with the professor.

Having been to so many professors' offices, Professor McGonagall's was Gretel's favorite.

The hot flames of the red-gold fireplace bring warmth, and the slightly hanging sun sends sunshine through the large carved windows.

On the six-foot-long solid wood square table, various documents are placed neatly on the edge.

An old-looking quill was stuck sideways in the ink bottle.

"Come, drink some tea first." A bronze teapot jumped in front of Grete, and the water cup that jumped up with it leaned forward and took a cup of warm black tea from the mouth of the pot for Grete.

"Flitwick got angry with us, so I'll give this to you." Professor McGonagall took out a badge from the inside of the bookshelf and handed it to Gretel.

The lion, badger, snake and eagle turned out to be a school emblem. Gretel held the school emblem in his hand and cast a doubtful look.

"This is a specially made school emblem. Flitwick asked us to make it specially. It has the secret protection charm of goblins on it, as well as the perception charm of our four deans.

After wearing the school badge, as long as you do not leave the scope of Hogwarts' spell.

No matter what kind of black magic attack you are attacked, you can last for five minutes. Five minutes is enough for at least one professor to rush to your side. "

Gretel was stunned for a moment, but Professor McGonagall didn't give him a chance to stir up emotion.

He just waved his hand and sent him out, "Remember, we can only sense the enchantment within the scope of Hogwarts. Don't sneak into Hogsmeade with those seniors."

After Gretel left, Professor McGonagall sat back at her desk, recalling Dumbledore's words in her mind.

"Trelawney did a divination and brought the future man into Hogwarts... He will bring about integration... Peace will eventually come."

Two in one.

There is no small theater today, but the author still wants to ask for tickets.

Grete rolled around and acted cute for everyone.
