My Black Magic Is Too Good, It Can Be Automatically Whitened

The hug was over, and Tom immediately showed Dunn how to enter the Room of Requirement.

He told Dunn that he was the only one in the Room of Requirement in the past year.

In other words, only he knows about this place at Hogwarts at the moment.

The people who knew the place now became two.

Tom looked proud when he said this.

As an older brother, he was eager to show Dunn the results of his one-year early arrival at Hogwarts.

The two brothers entered the Room of Requirement together. When it was not changed, it really looked like a utility room, with various things piled up in a disorderly manner.

A tall mirror covered in cloth, which Dunn guessed was the Mirror of Erised.

Instead, it's the vanishing cabinet, because there are so many worn-out cabinets here, and Dunn couldn't determine which one was for a while.

Looking at Tom who was excitedly driving him around, Dunn couldn't bear to tell him that, in fact, at Hogwarts right now, besides the two brothers, at least one other person knew about the existence of the Room of Requirement.

And this man was the Dumbledore that Tom feared the most.

Originally Dunn wanted to show Tom the real use of the House of Requirement, and then put it all on Dumbledore.

But after meeting Tom, Dunn changed his mind.

With him around, Tom certainly wouldn't go down Voldemort's path again.

At most, it is to become a brother-in-law.

That being the case, there was no need to draw hatred on Dumbledore for no reason.

Excited to follow Tom to visit the entire House of Requirement, and the two brothers began to have a formal conversation after meeting.

"Before I got your owl letter, I went to Professor Slugence, and he told me that you would be fine, although he was right, Dumbledore did not do anything to you, even Gryffindor's sword Leave it to you to keep, but I think Dumbledore is just buying hearts."

"Professor Slugence also told me that Dumbledore may be looking for a chancellor post upon Armando-Dippet's retirement, but he hasn't made a move just yet, simply because he hasn't completely detached himself from Dark Lord Greenwald. "

Dunn was silent for a few seconds.

"And what about Professor Slagnes? He didn't even think about being the headmaster himself?"

Tom laughed.

As expected of his younger brother, he thinks exactly the same as him.

"I asked that question at the time, and Professor Slugnes made it clear to me that he had no interest in being Headmaster of Hogwarts."

Dunn's reaction was exactly the same as when Tom heard the answer.

"why?"

"In the eyes of the outside world, Professor Slugence is a person who is keen to make friends with the powerful, and in fact he is, but the purpose of his relationship with the powerful is not to gain a higher status, because he wants more."

This conclusion surprised Dunn.

Tom explained with a smile: "Professor Slugence told me that the only way to gain power is to seek a high position, making friends with high-ranking people, and influencing each other's decisions through oneself, which means that it is indirect. took power."

"The advantage of this is that it is impossible for a person to be in a high position all the time, but you can always be friends with people in high positions, so that you can always have power."

Dunn nodded.

No wonder Slytherin and Gryffindor had such a bad relationship, and Slugence still had a good relationship with Dumbledore.

It was clear that Slugence had seen the great potential of Dumbledore's future as Headmaster, and started betting early.

Tom said with a smile.

"So now you know how popular you are?"

Dunn was stunned.

What does this have to do with him?

"Professor Slugence fought against Dumbledore in order to win you over to Slytherin. Although it was unsuccessful, he obviously did not intend to give up. He told me that as long as you are willing to transfer to Slytherin, he can settle the rest. ."

When Tom said this, Dunn realized that Slugence really took him seriously.

If it was pure appreciation, Slugence would just have to invite Dunn to join the Slug Club, and he wouldn't have to go to great lengths and risk offending Dumbledore to transfer Dunn.

Slugence would only do that if he wanted to build a stronger, closer relationship with Dunn.

It has to be said that Slugence is really good at seeing people.

The only time it was wrong was probably on Tom.

When Slugence told Tom about the Horcrux-making method, he certainly did not expect that Tom in the future would be able to do such an "earth-shattering" event.

Dunn is honored to be so valued by Slugence.

But this time Slugence was destined to be disappointed.

"Please tell Professor Slugence that I asked the Sorting Hat to join the Gryffindor."

"what?"

Tom looked at Dunn with a look of surprise and disbelief.

In his opinion, even without Slugence's invitation, Dunn would have wanted to join Slytherin.

Unless Dunn doesn't want to be in the same house as himself.

"Remember the first letter you sent me after you left the orphanage and went to Hogwarts last year?"

"You said in the letter that you chose Slytherin because you think that only in this academy can you get to know the wizards of the pure-blood family. In the future, these people will become the allies of the Corleone family for revenge."

"You chose this path, then what I need to do is not to join you, but to choose another path."

"In this way, no matter who of us succeeds in the end, it is the victory of the Corleone family, isn't it?"

Tom looked at his brother who was suddenly strange.

Dunn has really changed a year since he left.

"So you think that choosing Gryffindor is more likely to succeed?"

Dunn was looking at Tom as well, but now his gaze was more firm than ever.

"Compared to a group of Slytherins who are ambitious and may follow you or betray you at any time because of their interests, I think Gryffindors who seem brave but are reckless and do things recklessly are more reliable."

"To get Slytherin to do things for you, you need to pay enough."

"But to get Gryffindor to do things for you, you just have to give them a big enough reason, and convince them that it's the right thing to do, and they'll do whatever it takes to get you there."

"The Corleones have seen too many allies like Slytherin, and now I want to try a different option."*
