Save the world from Hogwarts

"Bah" Tom suddenly got up from the ground, "Hundreds of goblins came up, and there was a dragon. I really couldn't have taken it out of Gringotts if I hadn't."

Lin Zhen stood on tiptoes and rubbed Tom's hair, and praised warmly: "Well done."

Tom hummed, threw the gold cup into Lin Zhen's arms, and slipped onto the big bed to rest.

Lin Zhen looked at the golden cup in her arms. In appearance, it was no different from the one she had taken out from the secret room before.

The difference is that the magic patterns carved around the golden cup have become somewhat blurred due to the fragments of Voldemort's soul.

Lin Zhen put her hand on it, and the soul fragments in the golden cup quickly swam from Lin Zhen's hand into his body, as if they had found some sweet delicacy.

Of course, this poor soul fragment also became Lin Zhen's tonic.

"I saw that ring on Dumbledore's hand today." Lin Zhen put the gold cup on the table and came to the bedside.

"He put it on." Tom raised his head from the pillow, looking surprised.

Lin Zhen nodded.

"I didn't expect that," Tom sighed, slamming his head into the pillow again, "I thought he wouldn't be tempted."

Lin Zhen slapped Tom's butt hard: "He is a human being, not a god. There are always mistakes."

"Yeah." Tom responded weakly.

"Now all that's left are Nagini and the Slytherin locket." Lin Zhen sat on the edge of the bed. "To be honest, I really feel that those fragments of Voldemort have contaminated these precious alchemical items. His conscience will not Does it hurt?"

"I think that's because the alchemy you tried has been failing." Tom closed his eyes. "If you could make good quality alchemy items yourself, would you still feel regretful?"

Lin Zhen was silent for a moment, and finally patted Tom angrily.

"Hey," Tom protested dissatisfied, "please take pity on me because I just got rid of the goblins and let me have a good rest."

Lin Zhen's response to him was to lift the quilt and cover Tom completely in it.

"Christmas will be in one week," Lin Zhen said. "You can continue working after Christmas is over. In the meantime, where do you want to stay, Hogwarts or Grimmauld Place?"

"Thank Merlin, you also knew to let me rest for a while." Tom said drowsily, "I want to be at Hogwarts."

"Okay." Lin Zhen patted her through the quilt, got up and left, "Sleep here for a while, I'll see you later."

Tom stretched out his hand from the quilt with difficulty and waved to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen went to the library to spend the rest of the morning with Hermione and Ron.After lunch, he remembered going to the kitchen to bring some food for Tom so that he wouldn't starve to death.

Kreacher was assigned to help in the Hogwarts kitchen this year. When Lin Zhen found him, he was washing cups diligently with other house elves with his big eyes open.

Lin Zhen was used to seeing Kreacher's clean and tidy appearance, and when she saw this unkempt Kreacher again, Lin Zhen was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Because she was busy looking for Tom, Lin Zhen just asked Kreacher to remember to go back to Black's old house to tidy up the house before Christmas.

Kreacher reluctantly agreed.

Waiting for Christmas

Lin Zhen suddenly remembered something important.

Tom sat on the bed with one leg crossed, eating toast and praising Lin Zhen loudly for her thoughtfulness.

"I removed the Dark Mark from Draco's arm." Lin Zhen said.

"Oh," Tom spread mayonnaise on the bread, "I thought Voldemort would not mark minors. Now it seems that he is anxious."

"He also gave Draco a task," Lin Zhen continued, "but I didn't want to see Draco in such pain and sadness, so I intervened."

At this point, Lin Zhen sighed heavily: "That's what I said, but Draco is probably still very sad during this period. After all, one of the tasks cannot be completed at all, and he may be worried about being killed."

"So what do you want to say?" Tom asked.

"I guess during the Christmas holiday, Draco has to go back to Malfoy Manor anyway, for example to report on the situation at Hogwarts or something like that." Lin Zhen's eyes lit up, "Do you think I should send Draco to Malfoy Manor?" Kidnapped”

Tom took the time to glance at Lin Zhen: "You can tie her up if you want, I don't care anyway."

Lin Zhen held her chin and thought for a while, then decided to follow her heart.

"What is your animagus?" Lin Zhen suddenly asked.

Tom was stunned for two seconds before he realized: "You want me to stay in Hogwarts in my Animagus form?"

Lin Zhen gave him a "what else do you think" look.

"I didn't." Tom said with a serious face, "Do you think I need to learn this as the Dark Lord?"

"It's too late to learn now." Lin Zhen said.

"Shrinking potion." Tom refused to give in.

Lin Zhen glanced at Tom up and down and crossed her arms: "If you use the shrinking potion, I can't do anything to you."

"You..." Tom stopped mid-sentence and changed the subject stiffly, "I just knew you liked older people."

"No, I like young people." Lin Zhen said, "But I can't accept underage people."

Tom rolled his eyes vigorously, resignedly picked up the Animagus Introductory Manual, and began to study.

As the most talented wizard of this century, Tom was able to successfully transform into an Animagus in just one afternoon.

"It's quite cute." Lin Zhen squinted her eyes and touched the little dragon, who was obviously still in its infancy.

probably because

"This is too small." Tom moved his front paws, which were as big as Lin Zhen's forearm. "I really thought I was a snake."

"I'm not a Slytherin." Lin Zhen said, "After all, you have my seal in your soul. But I am willing to turn into an eagle for you."

Lin Zhen touched it twice more and "accidentally" pulled out a piece of dragon scale.

"What are you doing?" Tom jumped aside.

"I'm sorry." Lin Zhen said without sincerity, "But you still can't stay in Hogwarts like this. It seems that you can only use the shrinking potion."

Tom almost couldn't wait to change back into human form: "What a waste of time."

"The Disillusionment Curse." Lin Zhen kicked Tom's calf, "Go to Slughorn's place to get a few bottles of potion. He only asked us to do it when school first started."

Tom cursed and cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and he and Lin Zhen left the Room of Requirement one after another.

"I'll go to the principal's office first," Lin Zhen whispered to Tom, who was invisible beside her. "After you drink the potion, come find me in the hall."

"Yeah." Tom replied in a long voice.

Gradually, the only sound left in the corridor was Lin Zhen's own footsteps.
