Hogwarts: I, Tom, am not the Dark Lord

Mrs. Greengrass said softly, "This time, I plan to use these contracts to help you replicate the collections of all the pure-blood families in the country. Aside from some core books that are unavailable, the others are basically no problem. I'm sure they will be helpful to you."

Tom's eyes lit up.

This isn't just helpful, it's a huge help.

All the pure-blood families combined, not to mention crushing the restricted section of Hogwarts, would at least have no problem competing on equal terms.

"Thank you so much, Auntie." Tom didn't pretend to refuse and thanked her directly.

The woman smiled slightly: "This is a win-win situation. It's also a small token of my appreciation."

"But I hope you understand that Greengrass won't directly side with you, even if it's you and Daphne... The help I can provide can only be indirect."

"I understand. This is enough."

Tom said it was nothing, these resources were something countless wizards could never obtain in their lifetime, so what was there to be dissatisfied about?

As for the ambition to climb up?

He is already a Slytherin, and you ask him if he has any ambitions?

Since he has the ability and potential, why should he let a group of mediocre people give him orders?

Tom didn't like or approve of Dumbledore, a kind of aloof and powerful man who lived a carefree life.

A superior status is only useful when others respect you. When Fudge finally broke off relations with Dumbledore, wasn't Dumbledore humiliated and had to hide underground with the Order of the Phoenix for a year?

So Tom will pursue the rights that come with whatever power he possesses, and this is the reward he deserves.

Chapter 114: Silver hair is the real loli. What is the correct way to use the academic master system?

After learning about Greengrass's background, Tom was no longer polite.

He also asked Mrs. Greengrass for some material resources. It was very troublesome to conduct alchemy experiments at school, and many things had to be bought by owls from Diagon Alley.

And because alchemy is not popular in the UK, the alchemy shop in Diagon Alley is pitifully small and the materials it sells are often out of stock.

This thing is actually a niche hobby of some wealthy wizards. They don't do it to make any powerful magic props, but just to show off that they have this ability.

After receiving Tom's request, Mrs. Greengrass left the castle and started running.

Tom went back to his bedroom and took a nap. When he woke up, the two sisters were already enjoying afternoon tea in the tea room.

"Tom, come quickly. Today we have smoked salmon cream cheese. The salmon is very fresh."

Daphne couldn't wait to share her favorite food, and Astoria quietly pushed a plate of Earl Grey tea chocolate mousse over, looking forward to Tom's comments after eating it.

"Astoria, Tom doesn't like very sweet food."

"oh oh."

The silver-haired girl quickly replaced the mousse cake with baked lobster, "This is delicious too."

Tom took a bite and nodded: "They are all good. Pala's cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to Madam Aibo's good teaching."

Daphne now has a better relationship with Hannah than with her roommate, and the two of them and Susan Bones often find a place to eat a snack together after class.

Daphne was fine. She exercised with Tom every week and kept her weight well. Her face was just a little chubby and her baby fat was more obvious, but for a twelve-year-old girl, it was cute.

Hannah and Bones are in trouble. They will have to buy at least two sizes bigger for this holiday.

After enjoying afternoon tea, the three of them left the castle.

Tom released all three unicorns - the open space in the castle was large enough for the three little ones to have fun. When the three unicorns appeared, they first rubbed Tom affectionately, and then called out to Daphne twice.

While in school, Daphne often accompanied Tom to the Forbidden Forest, and they became familiar with each other.

"Come closer if you like."

Seeing Astoria standing there, not daring to move, Tom smiled and said, "Unicorns are very gentle towards girls like you. As long as you have no ill intentions, there will be no danger if you touch them with your hands."

With Tom's encouragement, Astoria mustered up the courage and moved closer to her sister. Under the sunlight, her silver hair was still dull and even a little dry.

The Greengrass family has always had blonde hair, and Daphne's blonde hair is brighter than gold. Tom thinks it's the influence of the blood curse. He doesn't know if the girl's silver hair will turn blonde if she really waits until the day of recovery.

But he thinks silver hair is better.

Those who often indulge in lolita know that the best lolita is the one with silver hair and red eyes. Although Astoria has blue eyes like Jiang Dongshubei, she is also very cute.

After the girl passed by, the first target she targeted was the youngest mistress. The white unicorn was also very beautiful and pure, but the pink mistress was a temptation that no girl could refuse.

At first, Astoria was still cautious and dared only stand aside, watching the interaction between her sister and the little unicorn. Suddenly, the two pairs of big eyes met. The little unicorn blinked, took the initiative to walk towards Astoria, and rubbed her waist, which made the girl flattered.

Daphne put her hands on her hips and said in a jealous tone, "Well, I fed you for two weeks before you came to me. As soon as Astoria came, you fawned over her. You're just a face-to-face person."

"Sister~"

Astoria grumbled softly in embarrassment, but her hand had already unconsciously touched the unicorn's neck, and her eyes narrowed in happiness.

Tom smiled as he watched the two sisters playing with the three unicorns, and his mood became much happier.

If he retires in the future, he can actually find a good place with mountains and rivers to build a castle and enjoy a peaceful life with his future wives.

The air was filled with the girls' cheerful laughter. Usagi listened to the excitement and flew out curiously to join in. After playing for a while, Astoria's breathing became heavy, and Tom waved his hand, letting the unicorn move freely and see what their home would be for the next while.

Usachi put it back into his pocket and would find food for him later.

To be safe, Tom asked, "Are there any magical animals in the two mountains behind? Dangerous animals that could threaten unicorns."

Daphne shook her head decisively. "There are magical creatures in the back mountains. I don't know exactly what they are, but there are definitely no overly powerful tribes or highly dangerous animals. Tap will collect materials and conduct inspections regularly. If he finds any, he will ask the Ministry of Magic to expel them."

Tom was relieved and followed the two sisters to the fort where the warehouse was located.

The entire basement of the fortress is a warehouse, divided into several independent rooms, including a vault for storing galleons, a treasury for various gems and precious metal utensils, as well as an animal material library and a plant material library.

As for the meteorite Tom wanted, it was in the junk room.

After entering, Usachi immediately found his favorite - three frames of meteorites piled inconspicuously in the corner, weighing about several hundred kilograms in total.

The little guy picked up a piece and started to chew it, while Tom put the rest away and went to check other things to see if there was anything he could use.

He walked and stopped along the way, picking up some things from time to time. In this way, it took Tom an entire afternoon to barely finish visiting these warehouses. As for the vault, he went in to take a look out of curiosity.

Yes, it is indeed a vault, with nothing but piles of gold galleons.

In the next few days, Tom practiced flying spells every morning. Through precise measurements, he found that his current straight-line flying speed using Andros's flying spell was at most 280 kilometers. If he entered the extraordinary mode and further strengthened his control over magic power, the speed could be increased to 350 kilometers, which was still some distance from the Thunderbird's 500 kilometers.

The fastest speed of Grindelwald's flying spell does not exceed 200 kilometers per hour, but with the help of airflow, his flexibility is much better than Andros's in turning and various difficult movements.

Although it is said that fast cornering means real speed, but...there is no need to turn when flying in the sky.

Now Tom is trying to combine the two spells, using the magic power to repel gravity and generate reaction force as the main driving force, and then using the airflow generated by the wings to increase this force.

The idea is good, but it is not easy to combine black magic and white magic together.

Every day he would activate the extraordinary mode in the meditation room to try out new spells, then share his insights with the two teachers and get feedback from them, repeating this cycle to speed up his progress.

I spend part of the afternoon with my sisters and part of the time reading.

Greengrass's own collection of books alone is astonishing, and there are also many precious wizarding notes. Mrs. Greengrass's hard work has also reaped rewards.

She brought back copies of Nott's, Rosier's, Malfoy's, and Lestrange's books.

"Lestrange?" Tom raised an eyebrow. "They should all be imprisoned in Azkaban, right?"

Mrs. Greengrass pointed eastward. "It's the French Lestrange. There are slight differences between the two collections, but the collections before the split in the eighteenth century were identical. The only difference is the last two centuries."

Tom nodded in understanding.

"Tom, Tom!"

Daphne's excited voice suddenly came from outside. The girl trotted into the library, holding some magazines in her hands, and her face turned red due to the intense running.

"Tom, your paper has finally been published. It's almost in half of the magazine."

In her hand was the July issue of "Brewing Glory" - yes, the words Snape often said were the famous motto of the Extraordinary Apothecary Association - Brewing Glory, Preventing Death, and each month's magazine was named after this...

Tom waved his hand and first flew over a glass of water and handed it to Daphne so that she could catch her breath, and then he opened the magazine.

But he wrote all the stuff, so Tom didn't need to read it. He just looked at the title that was finally given to him.

Very good, a full member of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists, not a reserve member.

It is actually very troublesome to join the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association. You must refine a bottle of Fuling Potion under the supervision of a formal member. If you succeed, you will become a preparatory member, or a member.

If you want to become a formal member and enjoy the association’s internal resources, you need to go to the headquarters in Switzerland to take a test.

The content of the test makes countless people shudder - they must drink seven kinds of poisons within a specified time, and then refine antidotes to detoxify them one by one.

If you succeed, you will be an official member. If you fail... then pray for success in your next life.

However, Tom directly received the Silver Crucible Medal, and with Snape's help, Snape told him that he could be exempted from the assessment before leaving school, but he never notified him.

Now that he saw the introduction of him in the official magazine, Tom finally felt at ease.

The main thing is that after becoming a formal member, you can use association points, potion formulas, improvement techniques and other valuable things to exchange for the materials and potions you need, which is more useful to Tom now.

Ding--!

At this moment, a prompt sound came from the system.

[The host's first academic paper has been published. The host will be awarded 1,000 credits and 100 achievement points. The paper's impact is rated medium... The assessment is complete. The paper's impact is medium. Until a higher-level paper in the same field is published, the host will receive 100 credits per month as a reward.]

Tom: “…”

He seemed to... just now discover the true use of the Academic Master System.

Since you are all academic masters, if you don’t publish papers and use your academic abilities to influence and change the world, what kind of academic masters are you?

If it weren't for the fact that Dumbledore wanted to steal his house cup award, Tom would never have thought about publishing a paper, but only about improving himself.

Fortunately, it was not too late to discover it. The first year was for laying the foundation, which was just the right time for us to start making efforts later.

Tom closed the magazine and patted her head: "Daphne, you are my lucky star."

"hey-hey."

Although she didn't know why Tom said that, the girl just smiled foolishly.
