Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Of course Tierra didn't think that Dumbledore was interested in Gilderoy Lockhart, but—

Tierra asked Gilderoy Lockhart's "inheritor" to hide himself as much as possible.

After talking with Gilderoy Lockhart for a few words, Dumbledore didn't seem to notice anything. Under the hint of McGonagall's strong eyes, he turned his head back silently and began to enjoy the dessert in front of him.

After the Christmas dinner, it was time for crazy fun. Even Tierra briefly put down the books except Tom Riddle, and followed Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the Weasley twins at Hogwarts Jump up and down inside the old castle.

Perhaps it was because Dumbledore's sudden conversation that night frightened Tom Riddle, and he urged Gilderoy Lockhart to leave Hogwarts the day after the Christmas dinner——

For one thing, the ritual of summoning Yog-Sothoth required some materials, and neither Tom Riddle nor Tierra felt at ease purchasing these materials through owls and letters.

Secondly, Tom Riddle, who was tortured by Gilderoy Lockhart's learning speed to the point of collapse, is going to give Lockhart a strong medicine——

As an all-round master of spells, black magic, alchemy, potions, and transfiguration, Tom Riddle intended to invent a potion during his rise to power to improve those who followed him, but he was so stupid because of inbreeding The wizard's talent, IQ and strength to create a truly invincible army, Tom Riddle, or Voldemort invented a magic potion, which has not yet been named, because he is only in Bellatrix Las After experimenting on Trange once, he was crippled by Lily Evans' minor protection law.

The effect of this potion is quite remarkable. Bellatrix's talent has indeed improved a lot. Before that, she was just a naive, kind and somewhat stupid girl, and she couldn't even use an Imperius Curse. .

But since drinking Voldemort's potion, my waist is no longer sore and my legs are no longer hurting. I play the forbidden spell one after another, but at the same time, the whole person is crazy.

Tierra couldn't tell whether it was the effect of the potion or the result of Bellatris using too many forbidden spells.

But what does that have to do with me?

Anyway, Gilderoy Lockhart is just a tool man, as long as he can use it.

Time quickly moved forward to the morning of Christmas Eve, when the mighty little wizard embarked on the train home with his luggage.

"Goodbye! Ron, bye! Hermione, bye!" Harry and Tierra stood on the train platform and watched their friends go away. Harry and Tierra didn't put down their waving hands until the train completely disappeared from their sight. arm.

Just like last year, two little wizards who had no home snuggled together in the cold snow and embarked on the rugged mountain road back to Hogwarts Castle.

The Christmas Eve dinner at Hogwarts that night was somewhat deserted, except for most of the teachers, only a few young wizards stayed, most of them were senior students, staying in the school to prepare for the N.E.W.T and O.W.Ls exams.

The little wizards in the lower grades were impatient to rush home and tell their families all kinds of embarrassing things that happened to the famous Gilderoy Lockhart during his classes at Hogwarts.

"Oh, my God." When Dumbledore appeared that night, he glanced at the Great Hall and found that there were only a few people sitting sporadically on the four long tables. Dumbledore sighed and waved his wand.

The five plates of fruit, vegetables, beef, cakes and cheese that had been placed on his seat floated gently, and followed Dumbledore to the long Gryffindor table—

Dumbledore sat down next to Tierra.

"The number of people at Christmas this year is really too small." Dumbledore put five plates on the table, and then waved to the professors on the teacher's bench, "Come on, everyone sit down and get together It's just fun, isn't it?"

Saying that, Dumbledore's hand touched the top of Tierra's head——

Tierra's body froze, Occlumency and mental wall functioned to the extreme——

But to Tierra's surprise, he didn't feel any spiritual impact or prying.

Dumbledore gently touched the top of Tierra's head like an ordinary old man looking at his grandson.

This touch made Tiera even more uncomfortable.

"School...Mr. Principal?" Tierra asked uncertainly.

"No Tierra, I just came to see our talented little wizard—" Dumbledore said with a smile.

With Dumbledore taking the lead, although the other teachers were reluctant—

Yep, that was Snape.

Although Snape was reluctant, but most teachers, especially Dumbledore, did so, Snape had no choice but to sit at the Slytherin long table.

"So, tell me, Tierra." Dumbledore asked Tierra, forking an egg tart, "How was your semester going? Did you encounter anything interesting?"

"Uh...no, Headmaster..." Tierra pretended to think for a while and said, "Does Professor Gilderoy Lockhart count? I think Professor Gilderoy Lockhart is very interesting."

"So that's why you gave him the gift?" asked Dumbledore.

"Oh, you said that brooch! Yes." Tierra said, "It's a magic item I made myself, on it..."

"Oh, um, yes." Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the table while listening to Tierra talking about how to make the brooch—

Tierra omitted the "Seal of the Old Gods" part and the "Spiritual Wall" part, leaving only the outermost part of the awakening spell——

And deliberately started from how he learned how to make magic items at the beginning, Tierra behaved like an innocent child, chatting with Dumbledore a little bit, hoping to feel like finishing this dinner——

"Great, Tierra." After Tierra finally had nothing to say, Dumbledore praised, "There are very few who can learn how to make magic items at your age."

"I also heard from Hagrid that you like magical animals very much." Dumbledore asked again with a smile.

"Well, yes, yes, watching them grow and reproduce is very satisfying." Tierra replied.

"Very well, I have seen your awe of life." Dumbledore said, "Please forgive my old man's nagging, but I recently... I have always heard some strange noises when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. like this--"

Dumbledore's voice suddenly became hoarse——

"Tiera...I'm hungry...(Parseltongue)"

Almost instinctively, Harry stopped the food in his hand.

Tierra couldn't help but froze.
