HP: Let professors walk towards the light

In fact, it was easy for me to identify the diary's owner - Ginny Weasley.

Although there are many students in Hogwarts, they can be easily discovered after taking a few Potions classes. Although Legilimency is illegal, who knows that I used it?

Of course, I have never been a person who follows the rules. A simple sentence can make Miss Weasley hand over the diary to me personally without leaving any suspicious traces. Why not do it? As a professor, it is natural to help students get out of danger. This is called cutting losses in time.

This diary looks ordinary and even tattered, but the black magic hidden in it is indeed mysterious. Not only does its appearance show that it is a dangerous thing, but it also emits black magic through words to bewitch people's hearts. It really makes people envy the extraordinary ability of the owner of this thing. It is really ironic that the fate of such a person would be involved with a reckless and ignorant child.

Without the diary to cause trouble, this school year should be less troublesome.

There are still the Hufflepuff gold cup and the Gaunt ring whose whereabouts are unknown. I searched for the known information, but unfortunately I did not find the specific location of the Gaunt old house. Dumbledore may know, but he would not be the best person to get the information.

Let's put it aside for a while and make plans during the holidays.

That evening, I was on my way to the Great Hall. It was Flitwick and I's turn to be on duty today. The thought of having to eat with those brats every time I was on duty made me lose my appetite.

However, as soon as I reached the first floor, I was stopped by Hermalena. Then I realized that a month had passed since we parted on bad terms. During this month, I basically saw her except in class. Even when she was on duty or patrolling, if I hadn't paid attention to her, I'm afraid she would have disappeared from Hogwarts.

"You took the diary?"

She waited here on purpose, it turned out to be for this, but I only got the diary yesterday morning.

"Can you spy on me without my knowledge? How did you know that thing is with me?"

"It's been a long time since we last met. How did Professor Snape learn to joke? How can a second-year student like me be able to monitor the whereabouts of the famous Slytherin Headmaster?"

This weird tone...are you imitating me?

Was the image of a good boy just a show for others? Has he started to ignore her after knowing her secret?

"Talros, pay attention..."

"Can you describe it in any other words besides attitude? Honestly, I was just staring at Ginny Weasley, and I did notice that the diary was no longer in her hand."

"I have the diary right here, so do you have anything else to say?"

Even though I couldn't see anyone all day, she was able to discover the clues so quickly. I really underestimated her again. I haven't fully accepted the fact that Hermalena's mentality is seriously inconsistent with her appearance. Perhaps... this is really a problem that I should face up to.

"If you still want to look for the Gaunt Ring, I sincerely suggest you give up that idea." Hermalena said seriously.

"Only if you take me with you."

To be honest, my first thought was to refuse.

"Don't think of rejecting me. You were the one who promised me. I know the exact location of the old Gaunt house and the traps there. Of course, I can pretend that I didn't hear your words about my great professor coming to save my sweetheart, but as for the Horcrux, you'd better take me with you. After all, I'm not sure what crazy things I will do in the future when I have nothing to do."

Hermalena crossed her arms over her chest and spoke the threatening words calmly.

"Don't forget, Severus. Regulus is at the bottom of the lake, Sirius is wrongly accused in Azkaban, Peter is on the run, Jorkins has only a few years left to live, and Nagini has not yet been created... You don't really think that you have become so powerful after knowing my secret that you can hide it from Dumbledore and stop Voldemort's resurrection by yourself, do you?"

"The biggest variable is no longer Potter, but me, the person outside the prophecy."

I have to admit that what Hermalena said is right, in every way.

I agreed to her cooperation, and we returned to the way we were at the beginning, except that the dominant position had changed. The girl who looked timid and even stuttered when she looked at me had changed dramatically in just a few months.

Even the relationship between us has become subtle, but at least we didn't bring up that sensitive topic. I naturally hope that it will fade away slowly. After all, I'm not a good person.

?

In Potions class, Hermalena sat back in the front row, and I met her more often, which made me certain that she was definitely avoiding me during that time. Was it because of revenge?

But recently I found that Hermalena seemed to be very close to Potter's group of stupid lions. Because of my obstruction, Potter had an easy Halloween, which was a good thing for him, but what was Hermalena doing?

I found an opportunity to put Hermalena in solitary confinement so that she could come to my office every night.

"Potter is the core figure of the Savior Plan." Hermalena answered my questions while sitting at the table doing her homework.

"The Savior Plan? Are you in touch with Dumbledore again?"

"No, but I think some of Dumbledore's ideas are good. Harry Potter is the one in the open. No matter how much we do, Voldemort will always go to him first. We can't let him use the same tricks on Voldemort as we did on Draco."

"It's rare that I agree with what you said. I think that he was able to beat Draco because Draco made a mistake."

"Professor, go tell Dumbledore to keep the Dueling Club project, but don't let Lockhart be the instructor anymore. Let Professor Flitwick do it." Hermalena stretched and sorted out her thesis homework.

The only notable thing Lockhart has done since joining the company was to restart the Dueling Club. Even though I beat him badly, that was still his contribution.

I nodded and took the job.

"Draco didn't use the 'Oolong Exit' trick, so Potter naturally didn't realize that he had Parseltongue. The connection between him and Voldemort will always require someone to guide him."

"So you are also going to implement your savior plan?" Very good, Hermalena is also going to start raising piglets.

"I'm not Dumbledore. He's gambling with Potter, betting on the shelf life of love and friendship. I'm simply providing positive guidance and a rational growth rate. The concept is the same as starting a company, except that Dumbledore is a venture capitalist, while I already have the lottery numbers."

Hermalena raised her eyebrows, and even in this dim environment, her eyes were shining with shrewdness, as if she was really incubating some project.

I seemed to see the shadow of old bee standing up.
