[Comprehensive] The correct strategy of Xueba

Out of an indescribable rebellious psychology, Wei Yang sneaked into the cellar after class.He sank his body below the ground so no one could see it.Although he doesn't like Tom's statement very much, Slughorn is indeed as Tom said, not interested in a ghost-this can be seen from the fact that he has planted a sun-like magic in the cellar.Slughorn likes a comfortable life, and the bleak ghost is undoubtedly not comfortable.

Wei Yang sat angrily in the cold darkness, Slughorn's voice came from diagonally above, but he didn't listen to a word.This matter is tricky. Tom is afraid of Dumbledore, and he will never be caught in Dumbledore's class; Slughorn doesn't like ghosts, and he will never be welcome to attend.

...Is Defense Against the Dark Arts the only course worth taking?But then again, Tom didn't seem to be interested in him at all!How to get close?Judging from today's situation, the other party seems to be more interested in Sherlock... Wait?Interested in Sherlock?

Wei Yang clicked on the system and started looking through the files.Then he discovered that the young Dark Lord had apparently been recruiting since his school days.Of course, what Tom did was not so obvious, it looked more like he was popular; at least in the eyes of the principal, Professor Dippet and most of the teachers, there was no better student than him.To be Tom's "friend", you must first have value; Sherlock's own clever mind and the rich background of the Holmes family undoubtedly have this value, and he...

One has no power, two has no money, three is still a ghost, doesn't even have a magic wand, and has wool value?

This initial condition really made me cry, and Wei Yang silently wiped away tears in his heart.However, he comforted himself that even if certain people were considered worthy of befriending by Tom, it didn't mean that his favorability could be improved—he could only use those people's feelings, and the favorability was only one-way.

That said, things are more difficult.How could a 15-year-old boy be so scheming and unable to get a good impression?

Wei Yang finally realized bitterly that the difficulty of brushing the A line and the B line is actually comparable.Whatever it is, there is a Dark Lord on both sides; neither is easy to deal with!This is forcing him to blacken!

Suddenly, a slight voice came from above Wei Yang's head.He didn't pay attention at first, but the system reminded him in words - someone is tapping the ground with the sole of a shoe, according to the law of Morse code, the translation is: "Are you down there, Yang?"

Wei Yang immediately held his breath.The room is full of wizards who are still alive in the Middle Ages, and the occasional Muggle-born can't understand this stuff-so how free is Sherlock?And how on earth do you know?He kept his mouth shut, intending to ignore it.

That voice persisted. "I know you're down there. Answer me quickly, they won't find out."

It is true that at this time the classroom was filled with the mist of potions, and there were noises everywhere—flame licking the bottom of the cauldron, silver knife cutting beans, talking and discussing in a low voice—but Wei Yang just didn’t want to move.Don't think he didn't see that suspicious smile just now!Sherlock can definitely do things to trick him!

"If you pretend to be dead again, I'll go over and tell that Riddle that you're actually interested in him."

Wei Yang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.Second Olympic!If Sherlock did say that, could he ever hope to come within ten paces of Tom?Who did you learn from!He was extremely resentful, but he could only honestly stretch out his hand, let his fingertips penetrate the ground, and compared it back in the same way: "What exactly do you want?"

"Oh, you know," the voice seemed to suddenly lighten up, "it's so boring. People around can see through it at a glance, and there is no challenge at all."

"It's a pity, there are no crimes here to entertain you." Wei Yang said in his heart.

"Is this your prophecy again?"

"You think it is."

The knocking sound stopped for a while, and then sounded again. "I don't think so. It's the same Riddle, I think he's the funniest one here. Do you know his history?"

Wei Yang no longer wants to express any thoughts on Sherlock's reasoning ability. "It has nothing to do with you."

"Oh, then I know." The toes pressed tightly on the ground, as if expressing a drawn-out tone, "It's true that it has nothing to do with me, but it must have something to do with what you want to do, right? Don't deny it, your goal is him."

Wei Yang was silent.Can he ask for a high hand!It was already difficult enough, but if Sherlock gets mixed up in it, the difficulty will go in the direction of cheating!

Sherlock didn't continue to press him.Because it seemed to him that it was already obvious.Wei Yang has an excessive understanding of the world, as if he can predict things that haven't happened yet.If they could barely explain it as reasoning ability when they first met, they looked more like prophets at this time.He never believed in such things, so how to explain this problem scientifically?

Why does he know so much?Why can travel everywhere?And why do you want to get close to Riddle?

A lot of questions filled Sherlock's head.Everything happens for a reason, he firmly believed.So even if Wei Yang didn't intend to tell him, he had to find out the truth by himself.

Halfway through Potions class, most people were still struggling with their cauldrons, but Tom was ready.He didn't rush to call Slughorn to grade his work, but looked the other way.In this class, there was only one person who was enough to be his opponent... But he was stunned when he saw it.It's not because Sherlock has finished, but because the other party is looking down at the ground at his feet - a few silvery-white fingers are flipping quickly, and then disappear; Sherlock taps the ground again, obviously Reply; then the finger reappears.Judging from the rhythm, it is obvious that there is some kind of law that others do not understand.

Tom's first reaction was not "this ghost came in despite my warning", but "what new language is this, more hidden than Parseltongue"?He just thought that Sherlock had an inexplicable interest in the new ghost; but in fact, the connection between them was closer than he thought?This is a bit bad, his playing hard to get method has lost a lot of effectiveness before it can be used.

Sensing his gaze, Sherlock didn't look up, but a smile that no one noticed was on the corner of his mouth.

There was no doubt about the results of the class, and Slughorn, as usual, was only satisfied with the results of two students.Tom put on a perfectly flattered expression, but Sherlock didn't respond - he wasn't in the mood to deal with a professor who was casting his web like a spider.After class, he slipped away with oil on his feet, not knowing what happened afterwards.

"It's like this every time!" said Slughorn exaggeratedly. "Every time the Holmes boy sees me, he seems to be hiding! He can't even find anyone to deliver a letter! I can't eat him." Merlin knows, I just invited him to eat and chat!"

Tom stayed to help him tidy up the classroom, and his eyes rolled when he heard this.

Slughorn had a habit of calling his favorite students together for a party or something during the holidays. The students privately called this the Slug (sounds like Slughorn) club.Most people regard it as an honor, because it represents the affirmation of the professor, so they are jealous of those who can go; but there are also a small number of people who don't take it seriously, such as Sherlock Holmes.

Slughorn seems to be complaining at this time, but it is more likely to seek approval, and even intentionally ask him to help persuade Sherlock.It's definitely not that he thinks too much, because he also wants to win Sherlock.

"He's just a little unreasonable, Professor." Thinking of this, Tom finally spoke. "I've heard that Holmes are like this. If you don't mind, I can try it for you, but I can't guarantee success."

"That would be great!" Slughorn really smiled. "I believe in you, Tom, there is nothing you can't do!"

"It's an honor to be of help, Professor," Tom replied modestly.Slughorn is good at winning people over, but he's too limited; ghosts usually know far more than people do, and are far more valuable.

After a few days like this, things have not progressed at all.Although Slytherin and Ravenclaw are still in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class together, and Professor Galatea Mellors doesn't mind having an extra ghost listening behind him, there is still no chance—even if he wants to voluntarily sacrifice himself. To be the subject of the Silent Iron Armor Curse, he must not be able to pass through the Iron Armor Curse directly!

Wei Yang was so impatient and bored that he wandered around Hogwarts like a headless chicken in his spare time.The biggest achievement was undoubtedly bumping into an acromantula that was secretly kept in the castle-bad luck-fortunately, he floated fast and was not chased or anything.Even if his life isn't in danger, it's not a good feeling to be run through by a lot of hairy legs!

Of course, he also knew that the most dangerous pet in the castle was not the spider, but the basilisk in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets that was very deep underground.Its eyes are magical, and anyone who sees them will die instantly.Since ghosts would turn to petrification at the sight of those eyes, he decided not to ask for trouble.If he was stuck in the Chamber of Secrets now, it would be a waste of time-you know, it would be almost a year before Tom opened the Chamber of Secrets!

He was so bored that he had no doubt caught the attention of the fat monk.The fat friar is a kind, kind and enthusiastic person, which can be seen from the fact that he persuades other ghosts to allow Peeves to join the opening ceremony every year.Therefore, he felt that Wei Yang must be more thoughtful and caring for crossing the ocean alone.Not to mention, Wei Yang belongs to their Hufflepuff!

So on Saturday night, Wei Yang was mysteriously dragged to the underground classroom by the fat monk, saying that the ghosts of Hogwarts had prepared some surprises for him as a welcome party for him to join the Hogwarts ghost family.

"We didn't know you would come in the morning! Otherwise, it would have been done on the day of the opening ceremony!" the fat monk babbled, and at the same time seemed very happy: "But now is too late—come on, come on, let's enjoy Enjoy!"

In view of the particularity of the ghost, Wei Yang actually didn't have too much expectation; but the moment he entered the door, he realized that his imagination was still too conservative——

Many thin candles float in mid-air, emitting a gloomy blue light; a ghost band sits on the podium, the instruments are a few musical saws, and the sound is like the claws of countless female ghosts. Scratching across the wall, it made people feel a layer of white sweat on the back; the desks inside disappeared, and turned into a few long tables covered with black velvet tablecloths, on which were placed all kinds of food—— Huge chunks of rotting meat on beautiful silver platters, black, charred cakes piled high on big trays, lots of maggot-infested haggis, a piece of cheese covered with green hair, Completely stinky salmon with no shape in sight, blah blah blah.

"Not bad, right?" The fat monk was still smiling, "You know, no ghosts have joined us for many years—everyone agrees to make the welcome party bigger!"

You better forget about me!Wei Yang wanted to cry but had no tears, and finally controlled the urge to run away. "...Thank you." He said dryly, feeling that he had never spoken so against his will.

In view of being forced to become the protagonist, Wei Yang failed to find the opportunity to slip away in advance.Moreover, he was not good at rejecting other people's kindness, so he had to persevere to the end with a stiff smile on his face from beginning to end, and he had to tell his own death method almost a hundred times - being shot to death or stabbed to death by a knife is a wizard It's an incredible way to die.The welcome party didn't end until after midnight, and when he went out, he felt his feet fluttering—yes, ghosts can be weak, too!

If you wander around in the future, you must avoid those ghosts and portraits!No matter how boring you are, you can't pass the time like this!Just when Wei Yang swore in his heart, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Are you okay?"

Wei Yang looked back, and it was no surprise that Tom was looking at him with his hands folded.He hadn't climbed above ground yet, and the corridor was lined with wet stone walls, and the entrance to the Slytherin common room was behind one of those walls. "No," he wiped his face, "did we bother you?"

"No, the magic's soundproofing effect is very good," Tom replied.His implied scrutiny eyes fell from Wei Yang's face to his body, and continued: "Actually, I'm just waiting for you."

scare?Wei Yang's mind, which was still in chaos just now, was immediately awakened by fright.Wouldn't Tom also find out that he was following him?He had obviously been careful, and had never ventured near anything when Tom was alone!

Seeing the astonished expression on his face, Tom smiled contemptuously in his heart, but his face showed a little embarrassment: "I think I owe you an apology. I shouldn't have said that to Holmes."

...Another Oscar winner has appeared!Wei Yang roared inwardly.If he hadn't already known Tom's character, he would have been deceived by this innocent appearance. "I don't even remember what you said." He laughed, wishing that he was innocent enough—or simply stupid.Being too smart at the beginning can easily make people like Tom wary.

"Really? That's great. I've been worrying about it all week." Tom smiled slightly sheepishly.

Wei Yang couldn't complain anymore.You can conquer the world with your face and acting skills, why do you need black magic? "It's late now, don't you go back to bed?" He hinted vaguely.According to Hogwarts regulations, students are not allowed to hang out in the castle after bedtime, and if they are caught by the professor, they will be in a lot of trouble. "Of course, I will pretend that what happened today never happened."

"Thank you, you are so understanding." Tom looked very happy.But in fact what he is thinking, only he knows.

Wei Yang looked at the sincere smiling face, then at the unwavering favorability, and silently closed the interface, speechless.Sure enough, he should wash up and go to sleep for his face painting or something!
