The chair under the man’s butt belonged to Quirinus Quirrell two years ago, and that guy had Voldemort on the back of his head.
A year ago it belonged to Gilderoy Lockhart, and he carried Voldemort in his arms most of the time.
The current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Peter Pedillo has a Voldemort on his chest.
So to a certain extent, Mr. Riddle has broken his curse and became the person who has spent the longest time in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in vocational education.
But because of this, the black aura on his body is the strongest. Looking at it with the eyes of true seeing, Ani felt that throwing Peter into the black lake would save all the students at Hogwarts money on ink.
Tom · Self-attack · Riddle, stone hammer.
In addition to the initial trip to the back of the head, Riddle's other two trips are inseparable from Aini.
However, this year Peter successfully entered the trap, who will he choose next year?
Several figures flashed through Aini's mind like a lantern, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
There is too much uncertainty in letting Crouch Jr. replace Mad-Eye Moody, and Voldemort lacks trust in this paranoid and immature young man, so there is a high probability that he will not be assured of possessing him.
Speaking of which, Ani is very curious, where will Voldemort be attached next year?
In his wild thoughts, Ani's eyes glanced back and forth at Peter unconsciously, which made him feel cold, for fear that his secret would be exposed.
Fortunately, this torture did not last long, as Percy's high-pitched shouts rang out outside the auditorium.
As the little wizard who had been away for two months walked into their ivory tower again, the three people who had been chatting happily separated temporarily. Professor McGonagall was going to welcome the new students, and Aini also returned to his place.
This made Peter secretly relieved. When he has something in his heart, he will always be particularly sensitive to other people's eyes.
Compared with the uniform cheering during the holidays, the expressions of the students at this time are different.
There are only a few people who are as full of expectations as Hermione. Strictly speaking, there are only two people in Gryffindor who think that the beginning of school is more attractive than the holidays, but the reasons are different.
Hermione longs for knowledge, while Percy longs for Penelope.
The outstanding girl who was also named the student representative has firmly captured his heart.
"Penello, the handsome Gryffindor guy is looking over again."
"How about you go and sit over there."
"Haha..."
At the long table in Ravenclaw, I saw Percy smiling stupidly at Penello, and several familiar girls playfully poked their best friend's head, laughing and joking.
The moment the two people's eyes met, Percy blushed and sat next to Neville as usual - he often discussed issues with Hermione in this position last year.
After sitting down, the boy secretly glanced at Penello a few more times, but each time he was caught by the teasing looks of the girls. Realizing that he had become the temporary focus of their conversation, Percy turned to chat with Neville.
Although I was nervous inside, there was also a hint of joy.
Boys of this age always crave the attention of the opposite sex, especially when they are excellent in both appearance and talent.
Hogwarts does not strictly divide dining areas by grade. As long as you are not a Slytherin with a strict hierarchy, you can sit at any empty seat at the table, even if you go to the long table of another house.
It’s just that out of habit, most people don’t do this.
The two of them had already drifted to the long table in Ravenclaw with one thought. The other was always careless and didn't feel anything was wrong until Ginny's slender hand patted the third brother's shoulder.
"Two 'seniors', today is the welcome day."
The girl glanced at Penelo, who was still looking over here, and angrily emphasized the word "senior".
From the moment he was pulled out from under the pavilion by Professor McGonagall, Percy completely let himself go and did not shy away from his romance with the Ravenclaw sister.
Ginny had been fed several mouthfuls of expired dog food since she got off the bus, and her throat was sore.
After Ginny finished speaking, Neville looked stupid and had no idea what Ron's sister meant. Percy clapped his hands and quickly pulled Neville to stand up.
Only then did he remember an established rule of Hogwarts——
Although the dining area for students was not limited in the past, on every orientation day, freshmen must sit in their grade-level seats before entering the hall until the sorting begins. This is also an invisible rule that has been passed down for thousands of years.
I don’t know since when, the opening day of Hogwarts has been regarded as the starting point for new students to officially enter the magical world. What greets them must be [order], not [chaos].
This can be regarded as an initial [anchor] attached to the soul, artificially interfering with the future tilt direction of the little wizard.
Starting from entering the platform, there are prescribed entrances, prescribed transportation methods, prescribed departure times, etc...
Including after arriving at Hogsmeade, everything is planned, such as the route, the number of people allowed on the boat or carriage, and then to Hogwarts, the houses are divided according to standards, and the seats are sorted by grade...
Everything is in order, just like a special ritual, so that those who experience it will be more inclined to order when faced with certain choices in the future.
However, excessive rules will also bring additional pressure. Whether it is order or chaos, they are artificially completed concepts. It is impossible to reach the limit, and it should not be reached.
This is the truth that too much is not enough.
The transformation from Little Tom to Voldemort also proves that this entrance ceremony is not so safe.
So after Dippet abdicated, the school song was... changed to its current ghostly appearance.
This change has made all the professors unable to complain. Mr. Principal, why don’t we revise other processes!
Not only are the professors suffering from the strange school song, but some students also hate it, including Percy, who has been well-behaved since he was a child.
Mrs. Weasley always used him as a role model to teach her other two unattractive sons, "I'll be thankful if you can catch up to half of Percy." Similar words said by Molly almost made the twins' ears grind.
Get rid of calluses.
But now Percy is extremely envious of his two younger brothers. If he could be so thick-skinned and eloquent, and dare to stand up and say a few witty words to Penello, he would definitely be able to resolve the current embarrassing situation.
Well, probably with George and Fred's temperament, they would never feel embarrassed when being pointed at by a girl as a topic.
With miscellaneous thoughts swirling in Percy's mind, he picked up Neville, who still looked confused, and staggered out of the second-year dining area.
Before Percy could adjust his mood, the Sorting Hat's sad tune hit him in the chest again.
Penello looked over worriedly. Percy put his elbows on the table and grabbed his head hard, wishing he could pour a pot of boiling water into the cracked gap in the Sorting Hat - at least the whistling sound of the steam was better.
Much stronger than brain-feeding the magic sound.
There were also people on the teacher's bench who had similar thoughts. If Ani's sanity hadn't been completely offline, I'm afraid he would have asked Mrs. Witt to learn how to completely sew up the broken mouth of the Sorting Hat two years ago.
