After the hug, Tom immediately showed Twain the way to enter the Room of Requirement.
He told Twain that he was the only one who had entered the Room of Requirement in the past year.
In other words, he was the only one in Hogwarts who knew about this place.
Now, there were only two people who knew about this place.
Tom said proudly.
As an older brother, he was eager to show Twain the results of his one-year early arrival at Hogwarts.
The two brothers entered the Room of Requirement together. Before it had changed, it looked like a storeroom with all kinds of things piled up in a mess.
A tall mirror covered with cloth. Tang En guessed that it was the Mirror of Erised.
Instead, it was the Vanishing Cabinet. Because there were many old cabinets here, Twain could not determine which one it was.
Looking at Tom, who was pulling him around excitedly, Tang En did not have the heart to tell him that in fact, at Hogwarts, other than the two brothers, there was at least one other person who knew about the existence of the Room of Requirement.
And this person was Dumbledore, whom Tom feared the most.
Originally, Twain wanted to show Tom the real use of the Room of Requirement and then push the blame to Dumbledore.
But after seeing Tom, Twain changed his mind.
With him around, Tom would never go down Voldemort's path again.
At most, he would become a little brother support demon.
Since that was the case, there was no need to draw hatred towards Dumbledore for no reason.
The two brothers excitedly followed Tom around the entire Room of Requirement before they began their formal conversation.
"I went to see Professor Slugnes before I got your owl, and he told me you'd be fine, although he was right that Dumbledore didn't do anything to you, and even left you with the sword of Gryffindor, but I think Dumbledore was just trying to buy people's hearts.”
"Professor Slugnes also told me that Dumbledore might seek the position of headmaster after Ammand Dippet's retirement, and that he hasn't done so yet only because he hasn't completely cut ties with the Dark Lord, Grindelwald.”
Twain was silent for a few seconds.
"What about Professor Slugnes? He had never thought of becoming the principal himself?”
Tom laughed.
As expected of his younger brother, his thoughts were exactly the same as his.
"I asked that question at the time, and Professor Slugnes told me very clearly that he had no interest in being headmaster of Hogwarts.”
Twain's reaction was exactly the same as Tom's when he heard the answer.
"Why?"
" In the eyes of the outside world, Professor Sluganz is a person who is passionate about making friends with powerful people. In fact, that's also the case. However, his purpose in making friends with powerful people is not to obtain a higher status, because he wants more.”
This conclusion surprised Twain.
" Professor Slanns told me that the only way to gain power is not to seek a high position," Tom explained with a smile." Making friends with people in high positions and influencing their decisions through yourself is equivalent to indirectly gaining power.”
"The advantage of doing this is that a person can't always be in a high position, but they can always be friends with people in high positions. This way, they can always have power.”
Twain nodded.
No wonder Slytherin and Gryffindor were on such bad terms, but Slugnes was still on good terms with Dumbledore.
Clearly, Slugnes had seen the great possibility of Dumbledore becoming headmaster in the future and had begun to place bets in advance.
Tom said with a smile.
"So now you know how popular you are, right?”
Twain was stunned.
What did this have to do with him?
"In order to win you over to Slytherin, Professor Slugnes did not hesitate to go against Dumbledore. Although he did not succeed, he obviously did not intend to give up. He told me that as long as you were willing to transfer to Slytherin, he could settle the rest.”
When Tom said that, Tang En realized that Sluggers really valued him.
If it was just admiration, Sluggers would only need to invite Twain to join the Snot Club. He would not have to go through so much trouble and risk offending Dumbledore to transfer Twain to another hospital.
Only if he wanted to build a stronger and closer relationship with Twain would Sluggers do so.
It had to be said that Sluganz was indeed very good at judging people.
The only time he had made a mistake was with Tom.
When Sluganz told Tom how to make Horcruxes, he definitely didn't expect that the future Tom would be able to do such a " world-shaking " thing.
Tang En was honored to be valued so highly by Sloganz.
However, this time, Sluganz was destined to be disappointed.
"Please tell Professor Slugnes that joining Gryffindor was my own request to the Sorting Hat.”
"What?"
Tom looked at Twain in surprise and disbelief.
In his opinion, even without the invitation from Sragnes, Twain should have wanted to join Slytherin.
Unless Twain did not want to be in the same academy as him.
"Remember the first letter you sent me after you left the orphanage for Hogwarts last year?”
"In the letter, you said that you chose Slytherin because you felt that only in this academy could you get to know pure-blooded wizards. In the future, these people will become the Corleone family's allies for revenge.”
"Since you chose this path, what I need to do is not to join you, but to choose another path.”
"This way, no matter who succeeds in the end, it will be the Corleone Family's victory, right?”
Tom looked at his younger brother, who suddenly seemed a little unfamiliar.
Twain had really changed a lot in the year that he had left.
"So you think you have a better chance of succeeding with Gryffindor?”
Twain was also looking at Tom. The only difference was that his gaze was unprecedentedly firm.
" Compared to a group of ambitious Slytherins who might follow you or betray you at any time for their own benefits, I think Gryffindor, who looks brave but is actually reckless and does things without regard for the consequences, is more reliable.”
"To make Slytherin work for you, you need to pay enough benefits.”
"But to make Gryffindor work for you, you just need to give them a great enough reason and make them believe that it's right. They will help you achieve your goal regardless of the cost and consequences.”
"The Corleone Family has seen too many allies like Slytherin. Now I want to try a different option.”
