From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

"Snake talk?!" Newt asked in surprise after hearing Dumbledore's words. "Is this the signature ability of the despicable Halbo at that time? What is the origin of the little wizard you mentioned?"

"I'm not sure who Tom's parents are. I only know that he comes from an orphanage in the Muggle world and is a mixed-race." Dumbledore shook his head and said.

"But isn't Snake's accent a symbol of a dark wizard?" Karma asked with a frown. "Is there really no problem with that child's identity?"

"Yosef, the problem is never a person's origin or bloodline, but his thoughts and conduct." Dumbledore looked at Kama and said seriously.

Karma looked at Dumbledore's deep eyes and nodded helplessly.

"Don't worry about the child's identity at this time. It's just a child, how big of a stir can it make?" Aberforth said impatiently. "Isn't our main purpose now to help Aurelius find Nagini?

?”

"So, do you need me to call Riddle for help?" The young wizard Sivan had guessed what Dumbledore was thinking and stepped forward to ask.

Dumbledore nodded and smiled: "Sorry to trouble you, Sivan."

…

On the fifth floor of the main tower of Hogwarts, deep in the library.

It was already evening at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun outside the library window shone in obliquely, dyeing half of the bookshelf in front of it a touch of red.

A handsome young wizard with black hair and wearing a worn second-hand wizard robe was leaning against the cabinet next to him, reading a heavy book with a brown cover attentively under the light of the setting sun.

He was so absorbed in reading that he didn't even notice anyone coming to his side.

"Riddle, so you are here." Xiven said softly.

Riddle was startled, and subconsciously wanted to hide the book behind his back. However, the tome was too thick, and Riddle's thin body could not cover it.

It wasn't until he saw that the person coming was Xiwen that he relaxed a little.

"Rozier, how did you enter the restricted book area?" Riddle asked.

"I should ask you this question." Xiwen raised the corner of his mouth and asked. "As far as I know, lower grade students are not allowed to enter the restricted book area."

"Of course I can only come in with a borrowing note from Professor Slughorn." Riddle replied calmly. At the same time, he silently turned the book in his hand back up and placed it on the empty space on the bookshelf next to him.

However, Riddle's actions did not escape Sivan's eyes.

When he turned the brown-covered tome upside down, Xiwen caught a glimpse of several large black characters appearing on the cover - "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic".

Xiwen was impressed by this book.

It was the first night in the castle that Xiven acted as a ghost for the first time. At that time, he found this book in the forbidden book area that exuded a strong aura of black magic.

After opening the book, a black skull suddenly emerged from the pages, screaming and rushing towards Xiwen's soul body. Because of the scream of this skull, it disturbed the man who was pretending to read next to him.

Helena, the fate of the two began to forge from then on.

"This is not a book you should read at your age." Sivan looked at Riddle and said seriously.

After learning that Xiwen had seen the name of the book, Riddle simply stopped covering it up and curled his lips and said, "I have passed the test of this book, why can't I read it?"

"The test of this book?" Xiwen asked in surprise. He always felt that Riddle was not the kind of person to use strong arguments, and he didn't know why he came up with such an outrageous reason this time.

Riddle saw Xiwen's doubts, so he picked up the tome from the bookshelf again and handed it to him with his backhand.

"Open it and take a look. The first page is the test of this book." Riddle crossed his arms and said with an air of watching a play.

Xiwen looked at Riddle's expression of watching the show, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"You can pass the test, how come I can't pass it?" He glared at Riddle angrily and casually opened the book "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic".

Of course, although he looked very relaxed on the surface, his left hand was already behind his back, secretly preparing to cast defensive spells.

When I opened the first page of the book, accompanied by a piercing scream, the black skull arrived as expected. Fortunately, the depths of the forbidden book area have built-in sound insulation, otherwise the librarian would have to be lured over.

Xiwen formed a seal with his left hand behind his back, and the Lagerja protective shield prepared in advance was pressed against his cheek, blocking the black skull.

"This test is not for resistance." Riddle looked at Xiwen's movements with some curiosity and said. "You should relax your mind and let it penetrate into your mind to test whether your strength can

Withstand the impact of learning the magic in the book.”

‘So this skull is the so-called test?’ Xiwen looked at the skull spinning around him but couldn’t find an entry point, and felt that its terrifying appearance suddenly became funny.

Xiwen shook his head and closed the book with a snap, and the skull instantly disappeared into the air as the pages closed.

"No need, I'm not very interested in letting unknown things get into my body." Xiwen spread his hands and said to Riddle.

"It's up to you." Riddle shrugged and took back the book in Xiwen's hand.

"Wait, I'm not finished yet." Xiwen took the book back, avoided Riddle's hand, and continued. "Although this book sets a test, it can probably only detect your power.

Whether you are able to study the content in the book is sufficient, but you cannot be sure whether your character is suitable for studying."

"What do you mean?" Riddle frowned and asked impatiently.

"I mean, the power of black magic can easily affect the mind of the learner." Xiwen said seriously. "And you are still too young now. It is very likely that you will be affected by the power of black magic without knowing it."

It affects your personality, behavior and state of mind."

"Hey, when did you learn from Dumbledore? There's a lot to teach people." Riddle sneered and said nonchalantly. "As far as I know, the Rozier family's dark magic is quite good.

Famous."

"You actually know all this? It seems that you have found a lot of information about pure-blood families during this period." Xiwen shrugged and continued to warn him. "But what I must say is, even in our

My mother never let me learn black magic at this age."

Riddle glanced at Xiwen in surprise, then suddenly changed his attitude and nodded indifferently.

"Okay, I'll pay attention to it in the future." He agreed directly without hesitation. This made Xiwen hold back what he wanted to add later.

Looking at Riddle's casual eyes, Xiwen knew that his promise this time was just perfunctory. After he left, he would definitely continue to learn the black magic in the book.

Sure enough, the task of leading Riddle onto the right path is a long and arduous one.

"Forget it, let's not mention this." Xiwen shook his head helplessly and said to Riddle. "The main reason I came here is to ask you for a favor."
