Chapter 286 Riddle's Second Request
"What's the content of the first ancient runes lesson?"
The next morning, at the dining table in the auditorium, Cedric thought for a moment and said: "I remember it was quite difficult... No, it should be said that the most difficult class in the entire school year was the first class.
"Professor Babuling must have talked about the application of magic words in alchemy..." Qiu asked with a strange expression: "There are also those writing methods that represent different meanings."
But to her surprise, Cedric immediately shook his head and said: "No...that is something that only fifth grade students need to learn. How could it be taught in third grade?"
"That you……"
"Professor Babuling told us about the evolution of magic texts... and what they originally looked like."
Cedric showed a very painful expression, "You can't imagine how complicated those magic texts were before they were simplified... To be honest, that was the first time. I felt like I didn't remember anything in class."
"That's right." Fred and George next to them nodded in unison.
"It was a nightmare."
"I felt like a stunted troll..."
Qiu glanced at the three of them with empathy. She had also experienced this feeling not long ago.
At this time, Kyle suddenly asked: "How many of you chose that course at that time.
"About a dozen, I forgot the details."
Cedric thought for a while and said: "But this is not important, because Professor Babling said that if you don't want to take ancient runes, you can change the course.
So when class started in the second week, there were only nine people left in the classroom. "
"Almost seven."
Fred said: "When we walked to Professor McGonagall's office, we suddenly hesitated..."
"For the future Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, I decided to take another lesson." George said with a smile.
"Fortunately, we thought so..."
"Because the content of the second class is normal. Although it is still difficult...but at least we can understand it."
"Is this the case for you guys?" Cedric asked.
"Except for the different content, everything else is the same, including the ability to change classes." Qiu sighed: "But I don't understand why Professor Babuling did this."
"I don't know..." Fred thought for a while, "Although some people say that Professor Babling wanted to have students from grades three to seven in class together and deliberately reduced the number of people in each grade, this is obviously impossible. ”
"Everyone learns different content, and it is impossible to teach it together." George said: "Percy is reading "Advanced Magic Text Translation" now, and we are still reading "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Text"."
“Perhaps the first lesson is Professor Babling’s test.
Cedric said: “Learning magic texts is destined to be a boring and tedious process, and you must have enough patience to persevere.
She probably wanted to use this method to eliminate those who were not suitable so that they would not waste their time. "
"Of course, this is just my guess."
Cedric took a sip of pumpkin juice and continued: "We know too little about Professor Babling. After all, except for classes and various holiday banquets, she almost never shows up, and she doesn't even go to Quidditch matches. Pass."
In the next period of time, several people began to discuss how difficult the magic text is, but how interesting it is after learning it...
Kyle was listening nearby, trying his best to act similar to them without looking too proud.
At this time, the benefits of having a personal "tutor" became apparent. Riddell was patient, capable, and had a very comprehensive understanding of magic texts.
With his help, Kyle took many detours and learned very efficiently.
I didn't think it was anything before, but now it's different... The problems Cedric and the others encountered couldn't be simpler in Kyle's opinion.
In other words, Riddle's diary is Voldemort's study notes from that year.
It's just that this notebook has become a bit messy recently. Not only does it need to be carefully screened when using it, but it also went out of work a few days ago, and I don't know when it will be restored.
Thinking of this, Kyle finished his breakfast quickly, went to the Room of Requirement as usual, greeted Riddle in the box, and asked about his situation with concern.
He had been doing this for the past few days, but Riddle never replied.
Kyle actually didn't have much hope today. He habitually closed the diary after writing a sentence.
But surprisingly, Riddle didn't continue to pretend to be dead and responded to him quickly.
[I'm sorry...when you read the newspaper to me that day, the magic power of the diary seemed to suddenly run out. 】
Kyle picked up the quill with some surprise.
"Are you okay, Tom? I'm worried about you."
[That’s right, luckily you’ve been writing to me with dragon’s blood lately. 】
[What are we learning today? I can’t wait to learn it after it has been neglected for so long. 】
Neither the story Kyle made up nor the news that Voldemort died as a baby seemed to have any impact on Riddle.
He didn't even ask about anything else.
It was as if Voldemort was just an insignificant passerby, it didn't matter whether he died or not.
But Riddle said so, and Kyle couldn't live up to his kindness.
"Then continue learning magic words."
[My first guess is that you really like magic texts. 】
…
But this time, I didn't study for long.
Because I had to go to class soon, Kyle had to leave at 8:50.
[Time always flies so fast. ]
Before closing the diary, Riddle made another request.
[If possible, can you bring some animals next time? ]
"Animals?" Kyle frowned slightly and wrote, "Do you need to eat? I can get the cooked ones directly from the kitchen."
[No, I don't need to eat. I just like magical animals, which is how it was when I was in school, so I want to see them again. ]
[It doesn't need to be rare, fairies or bowtruckles will do, they can be easily found by the Forbidden Forest. ]
Kyle hesitated, "But Tom, can you see them?"
[Of course, you just put them in the diary and I can see them. ]
"Well... okay, I'll go to the Forbidden Forest to see it on the weekend."
Kyle agreed casually and left the Room of Requirement quickly.
Riddle's desire for animals definitely had nothing to do with his love for Nat, but Kyle didn't have time to guess what he was thinking.
There were still five minutes left before the first Transfiguration class. If he was late... Tsk, an angry Professor McGonagall was much scarier than Voldemort.
