Hogwarts: I, Tom, am not the Dark Lord

Because Hermione had Tom's scent on her, Usagi was not averse to her. He flew nimbly to Hermione's shoulder and watched his master lying there at the mercy of others.

In other words, Tom used telepathy to tell her not to make trouble, otherwise Usagi would have already started the Dragon Dance and was ready to give Mr. Granger a hard time.

An hour later, Tom was finally free.

Mr. Granger prescribed him some toothpaste for care, and Hermione took him home with the things.

In the evening, Tom and Hermione's family wanted to leave after dinner, but Hermione refused to let him go back no matter what. She even took him to see the guest room that had been specially cleaned up. Everything was brand new and had never been used.

Hermione's little tricks were completely exposed. Daphne wanted to take Tom home, of course she did too.

It’s just that he used the tactic of acting first and reporting later.

Hermione seldom acts like a spoiled brat, unlike Daphne who does it several times almost every day, but precisely because she seldom does it, Tom falls for it.

It didn't matter where he lived anyway, the Grangers all knew about the existence of magic, and it would be more convenient.

So I agreed.

In this way, Tom stayed in the Granger house temporarily. He accompanied Hermione to do homework every morning, and went into the study space to use the meditation room in the afternoon. In the evening, it was leisure time. Sometimes the two would go to Diagon Alley, and sometimes they would go shopping in the Muggle shopping mall.

When Daphne learned that Tom was living with Hermione, she was so angry that she rushed from Greengrass Manor to Diagon Alley and had a fight with Hermione.

How despicable! He actually got there first!

So Daphne began to coax Tom to come over earlier, but Tom was looking for a house at that time, and Mr. Granger introduced him to an agent who he thought was reliable.

When Hermione learned that Tom wanted to buy a house, she strongly recommended that he buy one nearby.

Tom also thought this place was nice. Hermione's house was located in the port area of ​​Chelsea, not far from King's Cross Station. The surrounding environment was quiet and most of the residents were elite middle class and small capitalists. There were no homeless people or thugs.

After all, it is the taxpayers that the police are focused on protecting.

In the end, Tom set his eyes on a detached villa one kilometer away from Hermione's house, with a total value of 1.5 million pounds. The 200,000 pounds he took out was not even enough for the down payment.

There was no other way, so Tom had to use the Philosopher's Stone to refine a few gold bricks. On the third day after he moved into Hermione's house, Dumbledore sent Nicolas Flamel's reply letter, which detailed the method of refining the elixir of life, even the gold one, and invited Tom to Paris in August so that the two could discuss the Greengrass family curse face to face.

According to Nicolas Flamel in his letter, the remaining energy of the Philosopher's Stone is only enough to refine the elixir of life for twenty years, or the equivalent of one ton of gold.

Tom used one tenth of the energy to make 100 kilograms of gold, and with the 200,000 pounds he had on hand, he paid off the house in one lump sum.

Only then did Hermione realize that the most precious treasure that Dumbledore mentioned was actually the Philosopher's Stone itself.

Although the house has been bought, it will take some time to decorate and replace the furniture, so Tom will not be able to live in his new home this holiday.

On the last day of June, Tom was packing his things in his bedroom when an owl came to him with a letter from Newt.

[I will be back in New York after July 10th and will be waiting for you at any time, Mr. Riddle - Yours faithfully, Newt Scamander]

July 10th?

Tom calculated the time silently and decided to stay at Daphne's house for half a month, then go to New York and then to Paris.

At this time, Grindelwald's communication request came from the space. Tom's expression changed and his spirit entered the learning space.

In the space, Andros and Grindelwald came over happily.

"Tom, the flying spell you requested has been successfully researched!"

Chapter 111: Two Flying Spells, the Well-behaved Astoria

"Success?"

Tom also became excited in an instant. He was just worrying about whether he should use Newt's relationship to find the Thunderbird to complete the trial. The reason for his hesitation was that the flying spell had not been developed yet.

As a result, when he felt sleepy, the pillow was delivered to him. Tom immediately asked the two men to demonstrate it to him.

Andros and Grindelwald looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Andros looked at the confused Tom and explained, "Actually, we developed two flying spells. Grindelwald and I have different strengths, and the spells we developed are also two completely different styles. It's just a coincidence that we completed them almost at the same time."

Grindelwald nodded slightly. "What a strange coincidence, but I think you could combine these two spells. Your magic possesses the qualities of both Andros and me, and your potential is greater than ours."

"Let me take a look at the situation first." Tom took a few steps back to give the two some space.

"Then I'll go first."

Grindelwald waved his wand, and a pair of black wings appeared behind him - these were not physical wings, but were made entirely of energy, and every feather was shining and gleaming with black light.

There was no flapping of the wings, only the feathers on them tilted slightly, and Grindelwald took off into the air, and at the same time, the sound came from the air.

"The spell for this spell is Wing Covering. You could also call it Raven Feather. Doesn't it fit the Ravenclaw house?"

Tom's face darkened. "Old G, I'm a Slytherin. Isn't it too much for you to come up with a spell that suits Ravenclaw?"

Grindel, standing in mid-air, shrugged and looked at his wings again. "There's nothing I can do about it. I just think the name is very appropriate."

Tom couldn't help but nodded.

If it were night, Grindelwald hovering in the air would indeed look like a raven.

Grindelwald continued, "My spell essentially relies on magical power to manipulate air currents. Each feather influences the direction of the air current, thus achieving the effect of flight. The feathers also possess a certain degree of defensive power, and can be used as a shield when necessary."

As he spoke, he retracted his wings and blocked them in front of his body, but his flying speed dropped sharply because the area of ​​airflow that the feathers could affect became smaller.

"What's the fastest flying speed?" asked Tom.

Grindelwald waved his hand and landed back on the ground. "It's just a newly developed spell, how perfect do you expect it to be? We can also use magic to compress the airflow and explode it, which will definitely increase the speed."

Tom nodded.

In the river, it's too much, using magic to manipulate physics, both science and magic.

Then Tom looked at Andros.

Andros grinned, a layer of white light appeared on his body, and then he flew up.

"My use of magic isn't as sophisticated as Grindelwald's. It's just a gap between our times, so my methods are simpler and more crude."

"Since the world uses gravity to bind humans to the earth, let's fight against gravity and fight against the world."

Andros burst out with powerful momentum, and he turned twice in the small space at an extremely fast speed. According to Tom's estimation, the speed was at least 100 kilometers per hour.

After the demonstration, Andros began to explain in detail: "Use your powerful magic to erase the influence of all forces on you. How you want to fly and how fast you can fly depends on how much magic power you have and how much you can output in a short period of time."

Very good, very Andros style, more means stronger, not strong enough means not enough magic, emotions are not strong enough, will is not firm enough, there is absolutely no problem in continuing to increase the dosage.

In these two spells, Grindelwald emphasizes more on the exquisite control of magic, which Tom can do after his soul essence evolves. Andros focuses on breaking all laws with one force, and Tom also has this foundation. His magical talent has surpassed Andros, but the total amount of magic cannot catch up in the short term.

No wonder Grindelwald said he had a chance to combine these two spells into a brand new flying spell.

But we have to take one step at a time. These two spells are currently in the initial stage and can be continuously improved.

You have to learn to fly first before you can think about flying faster.

"Then let's start with Andros." Tom made his decision and immediately took action.

Two people entered the meditation room. Although it can only be effective for one person at a time, it does not mean that only one person can enter. Andros can just be responsible for teaching.

An hour later, Tom left the study space.

Today is the last day staying at Hermione's house, and we can't spend all the time on studying. The two of them made an appointment to visit the oceanarium today and have morning tea by the way.

Although Hermione was reluctant to let Tom leave, she also knew that if she didn't let him go, Daphne would come to her house to kill her. Besides, Tom was going to the United States on the 15th, and the time allocated to everyone was about the same, so it was fair.

The next morning, Tom said goodbye to Hermione and left the Granger house.

He now had two options to get to Greengrass's house, one was to take the Knight Bus, and the other was to Apparate and slowly find his way there.

As for the Floo Network... not everyone's home is as free as Weasley's 'The Burrow'. Imagine that someone can invade your home directly through the fireplace just by reading your house name. This is definitely the worst thing.

So Tom chose the third method.

He prepared to fly over.

He studied in the study space for an entire night last night, plus two sessions of extraordinary mode. He had already mastered both Grindelwald's and Andros's flying spells, so he took this opportunity to practice.

Tom first cast an Disillusionment Spell on himself, then took off into the air. This time he used Andros's Flying Spell. He wanted to test the longest flying distance and fastest speed of his current magic.

Tom, who was in invisible state, was not used to flying at first. There were too many tall buildings in the city, and he needed to constantly adjust the direction. He couldn't control the force well, and he almost hit the skyscrapers several times.

Later on, his judgment of distance became more accurate, and things got better.

After leaving the city, Tom unleashed his magic power to the limit, his speed continued to increase, and he overtook vehicles on the highway one after another.

If it was at night, and Tom didn't cast the Disillusionment Charm, people could see a white meteor streak across the sky.

His current speed is definitely over 200 kilometers per hour, but it is still some distance away from 300 kilometers per hour. As for the magic power consumption, it cannot be measured.

Because before he even felt tired, he had already reached his destination.

Greengrass Manor is located next to a lake and is surrounded by not only Muggle-repelling spells but also protective spells against wizards.

This is a very ancient spell that can only be seen if the resident speaks it sincerely or writes the address with a pen. It is somewhat similar to the Fidelius Charm.

Snape said that even when Voldemort came, he just took the invitation letter obediently, which shows how strong the protection is.

Standing at the iron gate of the manor, Tom rang the doorbell.

He didn't have to wait too long before someone came to greet him.

Two snow-white horses pulled a carriage and came galloping. Daphne stuck her head out of the window and waved her hands excitedly.

It was the first time that Tom saw what it meant to have two horses at home.

As soon as the car stopped, the girl couldn't wait to jump out, jumped into Tom's arms, and took a deep breath.

"Tom, you're here at last."

The boy smiled and patted her head: "Didn't we just meet a few days ago? Why do you speak as if we haven't seen each other for a long time?"

Daphne wrinkled her nose cutely: "Because I miss you so much."

A straight ball is always hard to guard against. Looking at the girl's raised face and expectant eyes, Tom tilted his head unnaturally, but his tone was more gentle than ever before.

"Well, I missed you too."
