"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 then said, "I remember it was quite difficult... No, I should say that the most difficult class of the entire school year was the first one."

"Professor Babuling, didn't you talk about the application of magic words in alchemy..." Qiu asked with a strange expression, "and the different ways of writing that represent different meanings."

But to her surprise, Cedric immediately shook his head and said, "No... that's something that needs to be learned in the fifth grade, how can it be taught in the third grade?"

"Then you guys..."

"Professor Babeling told us about the evolution of runes... and what they originally looked like."

Cedric showed a very painful expression, "You definitely can't imagine how complicated those runes 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 beside them nodded in unison.

"It was a nightmare."

"I felt like a stunted giant..."

Qiu looked at the three people with empathy. She had experienced the same feeling not long ago.

At this time, Kyle suddenly asked: "How many of you chose that course at that time?"

"About a dozen or so, I forgot the exact number."

Cedric thought for a moment and said, "But it doesn't matter, because Professor Babeling said that if you don't want to take ancient runes, you can change the course.

So by the second week of class, there were only nine people left in the classroom.”

"Almost seven."

Fred said, "When we got to Professor McGonagall's office, we hesitated..."

"For the future of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, I decided to attend one more class." George said with a smile.

"It's a good thing we thought so..."

"Because the content of the second class is normal. Although it is still difficult... at least we can understand it."

"Isn't that the same for you?" Cedric asked.

"Except for the different contents, everything else is similar, including the fact that you can change classes." Qiu sighed and said, "But I don't understand why Professor Babu Ling did this."

"I don't know..." Fred thought for a moment. "Although some people say that Professor Babel wants to have students from grades three to seven take classes together and deliberately reduce the number of students in each grade, this is obviously impossible."

"Everyone is learning different things, so it's impossible to teach them together." George said, "Percy is currently reading Advanced Rune Translation, and we are still reading Simple Introduction to Ancient Rune."

"Maybe the first class will be Professor Babeling's test."

Cedric said: "Learning magic runes is destined to be a boring and tedious process, and you must have enough patience to persevere.

She probably wants to use this method to eliminate those who are not suitable, so as not to waste their time. "

"Of course, this is just my guess."

Cedric took a sip of pumpkin juice and continued, "We know very little about Professor Babling. After all, apart from classes and various holiday banquets, she rarely shows up. She has never even watched a Quidditch match."

In the following period of time, several people began to discuss how difficult magic words were, but how interesting it was after learning them...

Kyle listened nearby, trying his best to act like them and not seem too proud.

This is when the benefit of having a personal tutor comes into play. Riddle is patient, capable, and has a very comprehensive understanding of magic runes.

With his help, Kyle avoided many detours and learned very efficiently.

I didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now it's different... The problems Cedric and the others encountered were simple enough for Kyle.

This notebook has become a bit of a problem recently. Not only does it require careful identification when using it, but it also broke down a few days ago and I don’t know when it will be restored.

Thinking of this, Kyle quickly finished his breakfast and went to the Room of Requirement as usual. He 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 responded.

Kyle didn't actually have much hope today. He wrote a sentence out of habit and prepared to close the diary.

But surprisingly, Riddle did not continue to play dead and responded to him soon.

[I'm sorry... When you showed me the newspaper that day, the magic of the diary seemed to have suddenly run out.]

Kyle picked up the quill with some surprise.

"Are you all right, Tom? I was worried about you."

[I guess so. Fortunately, you have been writing to me with dragon blood recently.]

[What are we going to learn today? I have wasted so much time, I am a little impatient. ]

Neither Kell's story nor the news that Voldemort died as a baby seemed to have any effect on Riddle.

He didn't even ask anything else.

It’s as if Voldemort is just an insignificant passerby, and it doesn’t matter whether he lives or dies.

But since Riddle said so, Kyle couldn't let him down.

"Then continue to learn magic runes."

[That's my guess. You really like magic words.]

…

But this time I didn't study for long.

Because he had to go to class soon, Kyle had to leave at 8:50.

【Time always goes by so fast. 】

Before closing the diary, Riddle made one more request.

[If possible, could you bring some animals next time? ]

"Animals?" Kyle frowned slightly and wrote, "Do you still need to eat? I can get the cooked food directly from the kitchen."

“No, I don’t need to eat. I just love Fantastic Beasts, I did when I was in school, so I want to see them again.”

[It doesn't need to be rare, a fairy or a Bowtruckle will do, they are easy to find near 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 on the weekend."

Kyle agreed casually and quickly left the Room of Requirement.

Riddle's desire for animals certainly had nothing to do with his love for Nat, but Kyle didn't have time to guess what he was thinking.

There are still five minutes left until the first Transfiguration class. If he is late... Tsk, an angry Professor McGonagall is much more terrifying than Voldemort.
