HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"Ah, sorry, Professor Snape, I was just about to go find Professor Flitwick."

She doesn't seem to be as afraid of me as other students. Is it because of what happened before school started?

"Really? Then go ahead. Don't get caught by other teachers on night patrol. It's best to be back before curfew. If you are caught, you will be deducted points. You will be in trouble."

"Okay professor, good night then."

Humph, Flitwick will come looking for you so late. I want to see what you are going to do. It would be better for me to catch you for a night stroll than to be caught by other professors.

only……

From the looks of it, is he really going to look for Flitwick? Well, maybe I'm overthinking it. Slytherin children are well-mannered and polite. How could they be such a reckless and unreasonable student like Potter?

……

I knew it! There's something fishy about this kid! What did I say? If I hadn't been waiting here, I wouldn't have seen such a shocking scene - our lovely Slytherin darling walked out of Flitwick's office and went straight upstairs with the order slip in his hand.

Well, Tallos, your old dean is about to give you a big surprise.

I never knew there was another door on the eighth floor, right across from that cheesy tapestry.

But I saw Talros walk into it with my own eyes, so why is it a wall now?

"The true form is revealed."

A trace of a door frame appeared on the wall, but it disappeared quickly. It was a great hiding skill. It was impossible for Talros to leave such a mark. It seemed that this good boy had gone on more than one night trip.

Just wait and see when she comes out.

……

Ready, 11:59, 12 o'clock.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Great, the blasting spell is useless, there is no way to break this wall.

Door…door…door…

How can we open the door that Talros entered?

"squeak--"

The door! When did it appear? It's so dark. Is Talros really inside? No, she can't just disappear. I've been watching for the whole night. She must be inside.

The area illuminated by the magic wand was full of clutter, tables and chairs, lab equipment, and spilled wine? The wine seemed to have been opened recently, and the rest of the place was covered in dust. What on earth was she trying to do here? Was she underage so she stole the wine and got drunk here?

Well, Talros can really bring me surprises. The dark person lying on the ground must be her. Who gave you the courage to drink here in the middle of the night? Do you have teenage melancholy? Or did Flitwick scold you too badly?

I pulled her over... something was wrong. This wasn't a drunken state. Her face wasn't flushed but pale. Her brows weren't relaxed like drunkenness but were tightly furrowed. There was no smell of alcohol on her body. What she was holding in her hand... was it a crown? The gemstone on it was broken, and the crown was also burnt. Would the silver be burnt?

What on earth did this kid do?

There was something fishy about this, so instead of sending Tallos to Pomfrey, I wrapped him in my robes and carried him back to my office under the cover of darkness.

I checked, and to my surprise, this was the first time I saw a student whose magic power was almost exhausted and even showed signs of overdraft...

Even if he practiced spells frequently in the middle of the night, he would not overdraw his magic power. This crown - "Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind", is this the motto of Ravenclaw?

I had to open my personal potion cabinet and take out the perfect quality magic recovery potion to feed her. Last time, her magic leaked and she collapsed in the heavily guarded manor. This time, she overdrew her magic and collapsed in such an unknown place. Well, Tallos, you've died twice in less than a year since we met.

I never thought that one day I would save the same person's life so often.

The magic power cannot be fully restored in a short time. Now I can only put her in my own bedroom and make a bed on the floor. I will ask for a few days off for her tomorrow. If she is not well taken care of, Talros's magic power will be depleted again one day. By then, she will either go to see Merlin or become a squib.

?

The next day, in order to prevent Quirrell from attacking again, I had to referee the Quidditch match myself. I wanted to teach Gryffindor and Potter a lesson, but Potter stole the Golden Snitch within five minutes. It was boring.

In that case, then go and warn Quirrell that if he really wants to use the Philosopher's Stone to resurrect Voldemort, he will definitely not live to see that day, and his little tricks will not be enough.

……

Two whole days have passed, and Talros hasn't woken up yet. Although this was within my expectations, Draco and the others have come to ask me several times - they didn't see her in the room, and she was not in the medical wing. I could only lie and say that Talros had a serious illness, and I needed to brew potions according to her condition to help her recover, and asked them not to spread the news.

Fortunately, they were very convinced by what I said and had no doubts. Occasionally, two girls would even come to help me watch over Talros.

But Dumbledore seemed to have discovered something, and I had to hand over the Ravenclaw diadem to him. After observing it, he said that this thing was made into a Horcrux - a dark magic prop that can make people not afraid of death and gain eternal life.

And its master... is Voldemort.

He asked me where I got it from. All I could say was that a Slytherin student was attacked by this so-called Horcrux in an abandoned classroom and I happened to find her while on patrol and hit the diadem with Avada Kedavra.

The reason why I knew that the Avada Kedavra curse was effective against this Horcrux was because I used a flashback spell on Talros's wand. I originally wanted to see what she had done to cause the overdraft of magic power. I didn't expect that when I checked, it was Avada Kedavra. An eleven-year-old child cast the unforgivable killing curse.

God knows how shocked I was.

Dumbledore seemed to believe what I said, and the Horcrux was indeed destroyed by the Killing Curse.

Dumbledore said that this Horcrux was most likely hidden in the school by Voldemort when he was young. The creation of Horcruxes was a forbidden technique. Since he succeeded once, he would definitely make a second, third, or even more to be on the safe side. This matter was left to Dumbledore to investigate, and Tallos' coma was also a clue to his understanding.

Now, I just need to wait for Talros to wake up and find out everything -
