Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

The witch closed her eyes and whispered a name in her mind.

To be precise, it was the name of a mirror.

Soon, the answer from the Mirror of Erised appeared in the witch's mind.

Following the sound, the witch immediately found the direction of the castle. She lightly stomped her foot on the ground and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

……

Inside Hogwarts, Dumbledore suddenly frowned and looked up sharply outside.

There seemed to be a very scary person standing at the entrance of Hogwarts just now.

Fortunately, the man did not attack them.

Dumbledore felt as if they had only been glanced at, or that the person hadn't even been looking at the door intentionally, but had simply glanced at Hogwarts.

But the moment the other person's gaze fell upon the Hogwarts gates, Dumbledore felt his heart clench violently.

Dumbledore quickly leaned over the table, picked up his teacup, and drank three mouthfuls of water before the sweat on his forehead gradually subsided.

What exactly is that terrifying thing?

A name suddenly flashed into Professor Dumbledore's mind.

Tom!

That person must be Tom's teacher; only Tom's teacher could have done something like that.

It's a pity that I didn't get to see what Tom's teacher was like in person.

However, if someone who is unwilling to show their face is actually spotted by me, they might lose their life in less than a second.

Dumbledore tried his best to remain calm.

Several students have already left Hogwarts.

Tom probably won't come back, at least not to class. Even if he goes back to Hogwarts, he'll just come to take a look.

Misha and Isabel would even chase after Tom.

As for the last one... Hermione.

No one knows where Hermione went, nor does anyone know what special training Ravenclaw gave Hermione.

The only person who can contact Hermione right now is Tom.

However, Dumbledore knew that as long as Tom was by Hermione's side, Hermione would be in no danger.

Looking out the window, Dumbledore put his hands behind his back.

Would I say I've nurtured two promising talents for the wizarding world?

Chapter 176 Ten Years Later (The Finale)

Ten years later.

Two black-haired children walked hand in hand down the street.

“This is Diagon Alley, the largest gathering place for wizards,” the little boy said.

The little girl beside him nodded and sniffed, "Did Daddy buy things here before?"

"Of course!"

The little boy's name is Garen Riddle.

The little girl's name is Belyad Riddell.

Their father... was, of course, the most mysterious wizard.

Anyway, he's the most mysterious wizard in the magical world.

No one had ever seen Tom Riddle, only heard legends about him.

It is said that there was once a very skilled wizard who entered Hogwarts at a young age and learned everything there in less than a year.

This is not the most important thing.

Most importantly... in his second year, this student named Tom left Hogwarts.

Tom simply gave up on Hogwarts, which everyone else desperately wanted to get into.

The reason, of course, is... that he no longer has anything to learn.

In seventh grade, Tom returned to Hogwarts to take his exams, and he got first place in all of them.

Undoubtedly number one.

He crushed everyone else, surpassing all the wizards at Hogwarts.

However, Tom rarely appeared in public, so much so that he eventually became just an obscure legend.

“Beyard, come this way, come with me, or you’ll get lost, and if you get lost here, we’ll be in big trouble.” Little Jia’en grabbed Belyad’s hand.

"What's that place over there? It looks like another Diagon Alley?" Belyad sucked on her finger as she glanced back.

“That’s Knockout Alley, a place where dark wizards gather,” Garen explained.

"Can we go in and take a look?"

"of course can."

Knockout Alley is a terrifying place, inhabited by many dark wizards.

Those dark wizards often target wizards like them who come alone, and then try to strip them of everything.

It's not just about money, but also about potential and life.

The two children's act of walking into Knockout Alley was a very dangerous act.

Some wizards witnessed this and rushed forward.

"Hey, you two little guys, you can't go there!"

"That's Knockout Alley. Didn't your parents tell you what Knockout Alley is?" A young wizard stopped the two.

This wizard had a flamboyant head of blond hair, which he combed into a slicked-back style. His youthful face revealed his young age, suggesting he had recently graduated from Hogwarts.

"Who are you?" Belyad bit her finger and winked at the wizard in front of her.

"My name is Draco Malfoy, and anyway, you can't go in there!"

"What are your parents' names? I need to have a serious talk with them. How could they send two such young children to a place like this!"

Draco grabbed Garen's shoulders, and suddenly he saw something...familiar on Garen.

Those nostalgic jade-green eyes, that familiar black hair, and that reassuring aura about him...

Draco turned his gaze to the girl beside him.

The girl looks very similar to her brother; both have delicate features, but the brother appears more resolute, while the girl is more gentle.

“Uncle, you don’t need to worry about us.” Jia En pushed Draco’s hand away and continued to lead Belyad inside.

"Brother, did you bring Galon?"

“Yes, I brought it. I begged Uncle Constantine before leaving, and he gave me a lot. Let’s go.”

"it is good!"

Listening to the conversation between the brother and sister, Draco couldn't help but follow behind them.

The familiar feeling he felt about these two people... made him want to get to know them.

Upon entering the alley, Jia En and Belyad were immediately surrounded by gazes.

The dark wizards opened their eyes and sized up the two fools who dared to come to Tumble Lane.

Their eyes seemed to be looking at a lump of fat.

"These two are courting death."

"What do you know? Anyone who dares to come to Knockturn Alley without an adult must be a young master from a pure-blood wizard family. These young masters are the most ignorant of their own limitations."

We can kidnap them and take advantage of the situation... to make a fortune!

Several dark wizards stood up and walked towards Jia En and his companion.

Draco followed behind, and he naturally noticed the strange movements of the dark wizards, but he did not rush to make a move.

He wanted to show these two how dangerous Tumbler Alley was.

"Children, what are you doing here?"

"Kids, where did the adults go? Knockover Alley is very dangerous, do you want Uncle to protect you?"

"Little friend, would you like some candy? Uncle has some candy here."

Jia En glanced at the group and frowned. "Please move aside, or we'll have to take action."

My father always said, "Don't trust anyone in Knockout Alley."

"Where is your father? " Several wizards laughed at the same time. "It seems that your master did teach you what to do in Knockover Alley. However... your master is really trusting, letting you come alone."

Now that we've entered Tumbleweed Alley, let's not go any further.

Just as the dark wizards reached out their hands, a pair of palms suddenly slapped down on them.

It was an ugly wizard whose entire body was covered in green.

The ugly wizard, without a nose, coldly stared at the group of dark wizards.

"What...are you doing?"

"Fu...you, you are..."

"Get lost!" The ugly wizard without a nose glanced coldly at the group.

The group of dark wizards didn't dare utter a single word and could only flee in panic.

Voldemort!

A legendary dark wizard!

It is said that he once killed hundreds of people!
