HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"Professor... why are you here?" Usually in a situation like this, one must stay calm, take the initiative, and gain sufficient advantage, Reina asked first.

"Isn't it strange to do this in a good friend's house?" Snape said lightly.

"Of course it's not surprising." Lucius replied.

"Then why would my lovely student appear in the home of my dear friend? I find this quite strange." Snape looked at Lucius, as if he was going to accuse him.

Lucius: "That can be explained."

Reina walked to the sofa and sat down. Lucius waved his cane lightly, and a cup of tea and some snacks appeared on the table.

"Although the Malfoy family will not continue to associate with a family that is destined to decline, based on the information I have, the Talros family is obviously not one of them. What the Malfoys are looking at is naturally the benefits."

Lucius paused, glanced at Snape meaningfully, and continued, "Draco and Reina are good friends."

Snape looked at Hermalena and said, "What do you want to do with Lucius? Do you want me, an unrelated outsider, to step aside?"

"It's not a big deal, Professor Snape. I just handed over some of my family's stores abroad to them."

"I'll go take a look after school starts," Lucius said.

"Yes, so I need you to help me go to the old house of Talros when you go to Germany and look for something related to this." Lena opened a piece of parchment and placed it on the table.

This is the picture of the magic circle that Misent gave her.

"What is this?" Lucius asked.

"I went to Egypt last year. The professor also knew about this. Then I learned about my father's affairs by chance. I knew too little about my father's affairs, so I wanted to investigate."

"This - is it something your father left behind?" Snape picked up the picture and took a look at it. If he hadn't seen the rune-like words, he would have really suspected that it was the scribbles of a three-year-old child.

"No, my father once took this to a professor in Vagado, and he copied it based on his memory," Lena explained.

"If the professor knows anything, it might be able to help."

Snape: "Then you overestimate me, a little Potions professor."

Lucius: "I'll keep an eye on it for you."

Snape: "Why do you want to find out about your father?"

Snape looked at Reina, trying to read something from the gray-blue eyes that often appeared in his dreams, but those eyes were still as calm as water, and no emotion could be seen.

However, the less readable information there is, the more there is behind the mask. Come on, Talros, let me see how many surprises you have hidden?

"Like I said, my father left very little. The less, the more suspicious it is."

Yes, they are indeed father and daughter.

"So what is this?" Lucius asked.

"It is said to be a magic circle, but it is all ancient language and has not been completely deciphered. Since my father went to Vagado for this, he must have gone to the old house as well. So I want to see if my father will leave anything at the old house in Germany."

Lucius: “Got it.”

……

After Reina left, Snape said coldly: "I don't know about you and Tallos. Do you think I will really believe you? You come and go in Malfoy Manor at will and call the head of the Malfoy family by his Christian name. Is this just a business partner?"

Lucius smiled and said, "I can't tell you, but you need to know that she is on our side, and your guess is basically correct, and so are what I said."

"Unbreakable Vow? You?"

"Of course - no, it was her. This matter concerns the Malfoy family. The witness is Cissy."

"How interesting! I am now looking forward to how she will save a dying person like me."

Snape looked out the window. The fiery red sun set over the hill. The terrible light was swallowed up by the soft moon. The remaining summer heat was blown away by the wind. The green leaves on the branches were about to die one by one. The long and boring summer was over again.

?

After returning to Talros Manor, Reina suddenly became playful and opened a special box. Inside was a worn cowhide diary. When she opened the inner page of the diary, there was only a name written on it - "Tom Riddle", without any other words.

Feeling a strong breath of black magic, Reina frowned, picked up the quill, and dropped a drop of ink on it.

The ink spread and diffused on the paper, then twisted together, flashing a thin light, and then disappeared as if being absorbed, with no other reaction.

Reina added two more drops of ink, and the ink was absorbed again. Then, Reina silently picked up the bottle of ink and was about to pour it on the notebook when a line of words appeared.

"Hello, my name is Tom Riddle."

Reina pursed her lips and wrote with the quill pen:

"You were locked in the diary?"

"This is my diary. I use it to record my memories."

"Oh."

"Don't you want to ask something?"

"How did you make this diary?"

Seeing no response for a long time, Lena wrote it again and added a sentence "I want to make one too."

"This is not something you can access right now. I can teach you something else. Are you studying at Hogwarts?"

"Yes, Slytherin, second year soon."

"It's a good college. What do you want to study? I can make you the top student in your grade."

"Fourth in the grade is pretty good, I like this number - it's everything possible."

"I can always teach you something. I can be considered your direct senior. I am a Slytherin student of 38 years."

"Then why don't you tell me how this diary was made?"

"I said you can't learn it for now."

"Oh."

"I can teach you the spell of happiness."

"I can."

Another breath of dark magic hit Reina's mental power. Reina closed the diary and locked it in the box again. It was a storage box that she bought from Knockturn Alley that could hide dark magic items. Although it could not completely isolate Riddle's mental magic, it was good to weaken it.

"How do you get the venom of the basilisk?"

Reina said to herself that the basilisk cannot be released. If someone looks directly into the basilisk's eyes, the mandrake will not be able to save them.

It seems that I have to borrow something from Hagrid first.

?

On the Hogwarts Express.

「Reina, Reina, Reina……」

"What can I do for you, Miss Parkinson?" Lena put down the book and looked at Pansy who had been calling her name.

“I don’t want school to start—” She fell on Reina’s shoulder.

"Why?"

Draco: "Because the start of school means dealing with Gryffindor, that group of..."

"Stupid lion." Reina and Pansy spoke at the same time.

"Hahaha, I knew Draco would say that. It's not because of this. I simply don't want school to start. I don't want to go to class so early. I don't want to study!" Pansy sat in her seat.

"Draco, you can join the school team this semester, right?" Lena said to Draco.

"Yes! My dad bought me a Nimbus 2001, which will definitely help me beat Potter! How about we give Slytherin its eighth consecutive championship?"

Draco spoke excitedly, his eyes shining.
