Tom taking the Horcrux wasn't exactly a good thing, but it wasn't the worst situation either.

Because Tom is not Voldemort.

Voldemort wanted to split his soul to achieve immortality; Tom, on the other hand, wanted to collect all the soul fragments, merge them into one, return to his peak, and become a complete individual.

He wants to rebel against himself and take Voldemort's place!

In Tom's view, Voldemort's life in his later years was a complete failure; he had taken a completely wrong path.

He needs to correct it again.

Tom and Voldemort are natural enemies, neither of them would allow another version of themselves to exist. This contradiction... is even greater than that between Harry and Voldemort.

At times like these, as proletarian magical warriors lurking in Hogwarts, we must learn to view problems dialectically.

In complex situations, one must grasp the primary contradiction and ignore the secondary ones.

At present, the British Isles are still in the early stages of peace and stability.

The main contradiction is between the growing security needs of the wizarding community and Voldemort, who is hiding in Albania.

The fundamental task in resolving this contradiction is to liberate and develop our forces.

Stubborn individuals like Tom must be dealt with through a policy of both unity and struggle, rather than outright hostility.

Tom certainly won't destroy the Horcrux directly; he'll probably find a way to absorb that piece of soul.

But this also signifies the destruction of a Horcrux.

This forms the basis for the tacit cooperation between the two parties.

Tom took the Horcrux, and the most serious consequence was actually the interruption of the clues.

William originally intended to use the Dementor to devour that soul, and then use his memories to find other Horcrux.

This turned into a complete illusion.

We can only wait for Professor Dumbledore to continue searching for old memories.

Then, from a large number of complex clues, discover what is truly useful.

Although this method is cumbersome, it is currently the only way.

Soon, a new week began.

Professor Lupin finally returned, his face pale, as if he had been seriously ill.

Thanks to Peeves's propaganda, rumors spread throughout the school that Snape wanted to poison Lupin.

This statement isn't entirely wrong, because Snape added many of his own special "ingredients" to the Wolfsbane Potion.

After that confrontation with Ron, William seriously suspected that Professor Snape would become even more ruthless.

But Professor Lupin probably wouldn't dare try Snape's Wolfsbane Potion again.

Otherwise, he might not be able to teach for a year before dying because the Potions tasted too bad.

The humiliation of this kind of death was no less than that of his predecessors.

Lupin canceled all the assignments Professor Snape gave him. Apart from William and Hermione, no one realized that Lupin was a Werewolf.

Professor Snape left his beloved position and returned to Potions Class.

He seemed to know that Lupin would cancel the assignment, so he quickly changed the paper on killing the Werewolf into Potions Class assignment.

Furthermore, the deadline for submitting assignments remains unchanged.

Teaching Potions Class while also handling Defence Against Dark Magic?

It's hard to say whether Snape was neglecting his duties or genuinely caring about the well-rounded development of the young wizards.

This is probably what a truly good teacher is like: earning one salary while doing the work of two.

Gryffindor a tragedy, just a day earlier, they had been celebrating Lupin's return, led by the twins.

In his excitement, he tore up all the homework Snape had assigned and threw it in the common room trash can.

Then, the next day, it was disposed of as trash by the House-elf.

For the first time, the lion cubs hated the House-elf ' diligence so much.

Hermione was one of the few lion cubs who didn't participate in the activity, and she tried her best to persuade the others not to join.

This is just like a teacher advising students not to tear up their books before the college entrance exam—it's definitely not going to have any effect.

In the end, only Anne, Ginny, and Neville listened to her.

Harry and Ron ignored her, with Ron even making a sarcastic remark, implying that Hermione was simply reluctant to part with her densely written papers.

As it turns out: Hermione is always right!

When Professor Snape urged Harry and Ron to finish their homework during Potions Class, they were completely dumbfounded.

After class, Ron tried to copy Hermione's paper, but she coldly refused.

Harry, on the other hand, was seriously considering whether Fall would look down on him if he went to copy her homework.

Professor McGonagall has completely adopted a laissez-faire attitude this semester, no longer wanting to deal with these stupid lions who are always causing trouble.

She's busy contacting the International Quidditch Association to help William apply for naming rights to the move.

As Quidditch has evolved, many of its techniques have become sophisticated, and in recent years, actions named after wizards have become increasingly rare.

This would be a remarkable achievement, and many clubs would likely extend an invitation to a talent like William.

On Professor McGonagall's wish list, there was one item:

England's Quidditch wins the Quidditch World Cup!

It's actually quite possible that William and Harry could both join the England National Team after graduating!

She just thought that William would never waste his talent by participating in the Quidditch World Cup.

He was just dabbling in it.

What's most infuriating is that these people play casually and are actually better than many professional players.

Are all geniuses like this, refusing to reason with you?!

Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures was as bad as ever.

He seemed to have become fascinated with breeding new varieties and began teaching people how to crossbreed Horklump and Flobberworm.

To deal with Hagrid, everyone tacitly fed the Flobberworm large amounts of lettuce.

A week later, those Flobberworm indeed... died from overeating.

Not only fourth-grade students, but even Horklump are freed from interspecies reproduction.

Forbidden love can be exciting, but they don't like slimy Flobberworm.

When class ended, Hagrid was very sad, and William and Cho had to stay behind to comfort him.

The two of them were also in great pain, struggling to hold back their laughter, which was indeed difficult, even for professionals.

"It's alright, Hagrid. Next time you can find some strong Fantastic Beasts," Cho said loudly, her face tense.

Despite Qiu's seemingly understanding nature, she was the one who initially suggested feeding the Flobberworm large amounts of lettuce...!

"Yes, Qiu, you're absolutely right," Hagrid said, his voice choked with emotion.

"The Flobberworm is too weak. I think... we can crossbreed it with Manticore and Fire Crab."

If all goes well, you might see the new varieties next school year.

Qiu Zhen wanted to slap herself.

Just then, an owl flew by, circled around, and dropped a letter bearing the Hogwarts crest.

Hagrid took the letter blankly, opened it and started reading. After a moment, he suddenly covered his face and began to sob uncontrollably.

"Hagrid, what's wrong?" Qiu asked in surprise.

William snatched the letter from Hagrid's hand and glanced at it a few times.

It turned out to be a letter from the Hogwarts School Governor regarding the outcome of the Hippogriff attack on Malfoy.

The content is very simple:

Through Headmaster Dumbledore's mediation, Hagrid was found to bear no responsibility.

He is not required to compensate Lucius Malfoy for 28 items, including: emotional distress damages, medical expenses, compensation for academic delays, damages to reputation, tuition fees, etc., totaling 20,000 Galleon.

However, the Hippogriff will be handled by the Ministry of Ministry of Magic's Committee for Dangerous Creatures.

The translation is: Hagrid can live, Buckbeak must... die!

(At the end of the month, I'm begging for your monthly votes, everyone!)
