Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

"Okay then, this is my final decision. If any of you disobeys the goalkeeper's instructions, I will cast a spell on him!" Harry roared hard, trying to look fierce.

Katie, Robbins, Ginny and dropout Avgergrunia, who have now joined the team, are watching the final selection of their team members from the stands.

Harry deliberately put the goalkeeper assessment at the end. He thought that the somewhat empty stadium and lighter pressure would be more conducive to their performance.

But unfortunately, all the unsuccessful contestants and some young wizards who had finished their lessons joined the crowd, making the audience even bigger.

The crowd booed and jeered as each goalkeeper flew towards the goal.

Harry glanced at Ron, knowing that he would often be nervous.

Harry had hoped that winning the last game of last term had cured him of this problem, but apparently it hadn't -

Ron's face was pale and his whole body was shaking. When they faced Voldemort a few months ago, Ron was not as nervous as he looked now.

None of the first five players saved more than two penalties, and much to Harry's dismay, McLean saved four of five.

When he played the last ball, he completely missed the ball. The crowd booed and laughed, and the ball dropped back to the ground with gritted teeth.

By the time Ron came on the scene, he looked like he was going to faint.

"Good luck!" shouted a voice from the crowd.

Harry looked around and saw Lavender Brown with shaggy hair in the stands.

He was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head in his hands, but as a captain, he should be more capable, so he looked up at Ron.

But obviously his worries are unnecessary——

Ron saved a ball, two, three, four, five!

Harry was very happy and tried not to join the cheering crowd. He turned around and wanted to tell Maclean that it was a pity that Ron had defeated him.

However, he discovered that Maclean's face was red, which made Harry give up his plan to comfort him and hurried over to join the crowd celebrating Ron.

…

"Speaking of..." In the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, Horace Slughorn, who was familiar with the process of refining the magic stone with Tiera, suddenly raised his head and asked doubtfully, "I remember that today it seems that Gran

The selection test for the Findor Quidditch team...don't you need to take it?"

"Why should I participate?" Tiera asked.

"Um...because, because, because...forget it, it's okay..." Horace Slughorn said hesitantly, then lowered his head and continued to read.

I remembered the alchemy notes given by Tiera.

"What you are wondering is that Harry and I are good friends. At this time, whether for the purpose of supporting Harry or for the purpose of further binding Harry, I should appear on the Quidditch pitch, even if I don't

I don’t care about Quidditch, or I don’t understand Quidditch at all.” Tiera said calmly.

"Well...yes, that's what it means..." said Horace Slughorn.

"And you also think that this is what a mature politician should do." Tiera added, "You should not give up any opportunity to show yourself and promote your reputation."

Horace Slughorn nodded again.

"Oh, Professor Slughorn, this is just an appearance." Tiera smiled and said, "There is only one aspect that determines a politician's true influence -"

"His control over the military, politics and economy." Tiera said, "Having achieved this, no matter whether he puts on a show or not, there will be no change in his influence. To be more precise, at this time he is doing

Everything will be right. If he adopts diplomatic rhetoric, then everyone will say that he is gentle, well-informed and polite, and that he is highly qualified and well-educated; if he is full of vulgar words, then everyone will think that he is polite.

He is straightforward, has a true nature, and is not hypocritical or pretentious."

"And if you put it on a wizard, then the so-called military, political and economic control means power." Tiera said, "Or we can go one step further, superb magical strength, superb magical skills, and profound magic.

Knowledge."

"I have all these." Tiera shrugged and said, "Power will naturally come to me."

After hearing this, Horace Slughorn looked at Tiera strangely——

"Sometimes... I almost forget that you are only a sixteen-year-old boy..." Horace Slughorn said unnaturally, "More often than not, you let me

Reminds me of Tom Riddle..."

Tiera smiled and said no more.

Tiera does not deny that he hurt many lives and changed the fate of many original characters in the process of planning and seizing power, but Tiera does not regret it.

Whether you say he has a clear self-positioning or that he is indifferent and inhumane, in fact Tiera has always had a slight sense of alienation and fear from the very beginning when she came to this world——

Just like the uncanny valley theory, when humans reach the level of "close to humans", their favorability will drop off a cliff, and humans will have uncontrollable fear of some species and images that are similar to humans but are obviously different from humans.

Emotions, such as clowns, orcs, zombies, overly anthropomorphic robots, etc.

This was how Tiera felt when she first came to this world——

This world is very similar to his original world, but under a similar background, it is very different from his original world. This difference far exceeds Tiera's imagination and logic, even if he was the last person in his previous life.

Horrible nightmares don't dream of this difference.

This makes this entire world like a super-large uncanny valley for Tiera.

Tiera's presence in this world is like being in a short and peaceful horror game. On the one hand, he hates this world and is afraid of everything in this world, but at the same time, he has to rely on those who bring him

Horrible knowledge has to survive in this world.

So he was like clearing a horror game, using his tragic life experience to make huge profits from Harry without any scruples and psychological burdens, using Hagrid's compassion to steal the Philosopher's Stone from him, and going back on his word and killing the only one.

The horned beast harmed the Malfoy family, controlled Dobby's personality, treated Gilderoy Lockhart as a living sacrifice, and repeatedly jumped on Dumbledore's bottom line...

Because in Tiera's eyes, these behaviors are the same as when playing P Club games, choosing a dictatorship in order to gain greater advantages or benefits in the game, and regularly releasing floods in order to maintain the vitality of the city...

Because only these behaviors can bring Tiera a sense of security.

But at the same time, when she puts herself in their shoes, Tiera will unconsciously treat them as real living people, be polite to everyone in a contradictory manner, carefully help Harry avoid all tragedies, and share with Hermione
