Fail Demon King

Wearing garlic-smoked silver..."

Another rebutted her authoritatively: "Stop kidding, Corinne, you're not dealing with a vampire in Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

They looked suspiciously at Tom and Billy as they passed, as if they thought it was easy to attract monsters by walking alone.When their voices were completely lost, Billy said, "It is said that Myrtle's parents have come to school."

Tom said in a low voice, "I know."

"Lucretia brought rumors," Billy said with some difficulty, "that Hogwarts might be planning to give students a break—until they find the attacker."

This rumor was not groundless, and its truth was greatly strengthened after seeing Dippet's more frail and stooped figure of late.

Billy saw Tom's eyebrows knotted tightly.Of course he knew what "holiday" meant to them: to go back to the orphanage in London.And Tom had just written to Dippet a while ago, hoping that he and Billy would be allowed to stay at Hogwarts for the summer this year.There was no doubt that going back to that oppressive orphanage was the one thing Tom hated the most, and would do anything if it was possible to prevent it from happening.

Billy couldn't help but continued to watch Tom's expression.The black-haired boy was striding forward, obviously thinking hard for a while, he bit his lip, and wrinkles appeared on his forehead.After a while, he said softly, "I'm going out tonight."

"Oh——" Billy was startled, but he felt that he had nothing to say, so he could only repeat it monotonously, "Oh."

"You don't want to know what I'm doing?" Tom raised his eyebrows, then turned his head away, and said meanly, "I don't want to be followed by you again, that's really stupid."

Billy opened his mouth, and he asked tentatively, "So you mean—"

"I'm going to go to the principal's office first. I'll meet you when I get back to the dormitory, and then we'll go out together—" Tom said quickly, and then he wrinkled his nose and added, "Of course, if you want to."

"..."

"Come on, I know you understand," whispered Tom impatiently, and they had seen the greenhouse, and the sun was glaring on the castle spire, "make up your mind, I won't say it a second time."

—and in this way, they came to an agreement quickly and easily.

Around eleven o'clock in the evening, the door of the dormitory opened.Billy jumped out of bed and met Tom as he entered.The latter threw his pointed hat on the table, and after admonishing the prickly Nagini in Parseltongue, he winked at Billy from the corner of his eye.Billy understood, and walked out quickly without a word.

They walked in the underground passage, hurriedly, but silently like shadows.

It was so disconcerting to walk briskly like this, and Billy asked in a low voice, "What the hell did you find?"

Tom gave a short laugh, but there was no smile in his voice: "You might as well guess for yourself. I told you to follow me, Billy, but not to ask questions."

"For Merlin's sake," Billy sneered, "don't tell me you found the monster that attacked Myrtle. I don't think there's anything more deadly at Hogwarts than your giant snake It's even bigger."

Tom didn't answer him directly, but just pulled out an irritating, perfunctory smile: "You are so naive. And the basilisk is not a monster, it's just a Slytherin's pet-shh, this way."

They dodged around the corner, and the black robes quickly disappeared into the unlit passage.

Every minute of walking in the dark felt longer than the usual hour.In order to restrain the increasingly uncontrollable heartbeat, Billy lowered his voice and spoke—although he admitted that he was suspected of being out of words: "...Speaking of which, how did you discover the existence of 'it' and... And the entrance to that place?"

"I was coming back from the library very late once, and halfway there I heard a snake talking in the wall." Of course Tom knew what the 'it' meant.The black-haired boy strode hurriedly, his voice so low that only Billy could hear, "It identified me almost instantly, and told me how to open it—you know the rest. I said it It's not a monster, it's not as scary as it looks. Well, in fact, Myrtle is much scarier than it is, and she startled it when she acted coquettishly on you."

"Spoofing me? Shocking it?" said Billy, in disbelief and exasperation, "—and she's lying stiff in the school hospital now!"

40 A restless night

"It was an accident," said Tom grimly. "You know she was responsible for it. If she hadn't wandered around and found Aragog, she wouldn't have fled into the girls' bathroom in a hurry. The entrance was already open by then, and I There was no way to close it in front of her, so she had to be knocked unconscious. What happened later has nothing to do with you or me, it was purely her own bad luck."

"—Aragok?"

However, Tom ignored him and said mercilessly: "Besides, she is of Muggle descent, and she is lucky that the basilisk didn't attack her--Salazar Slytherin never intended to give this kind of student any shelter." .”

"Damn Merlin," said Billy sarcastically, "that's creepy! I'm a Muggle, too, you know."

Tom stopped abruptly and turned so sharply that Billy, who was following him, almost ran into him head-on.His dark eyes glowed, and for the first time in the conversation his voice rose and fell, and the words hissed through his teeth: "Billy Stubbs ——Don't, take, yourself, and, them, compare!"

Billy knew that whenever Tom called him by his full name it meant he was angry (he didn't do it very often) - but only Merlin knew why he was angry.

Billy fell silent, and had to wait until his own beating heart calmed down.They walked side by side for a while, darting past a rusty armor—"Hey, brat!" it snapped, "You frightened me!" On the stairs that appeared inexplicably, Tom suddenly spoke stiffly. Even Myrtle, who is now stiff and lethargic, is probably softer than his voice: "Don't think too well of me, Billy. Expect me to have feelings for her." Guilty?" He sneered and said harshly, "It's impossible, after all, the person she likes is not me."

"...you've been talking weirdly lately." Billy said suspiciously and angrily. "Of course, I've known for a long time that there has never been a good person in the traditional sense in my college and yours. I just hope you don't be so bad." It's outrageous."

Tom gave Billy a sidelong look, his eyes twinkling oddly, and then he gave a half-quick twitch of his mouth.

The lights were getting dimmer, and in fact they had only walked for ten minutes, but it seemed like a year.Belgian was worried that someone would appear suddenly, and his voice was close to a whisper: "Seriously, where the hell are we going?"

"Soon," said Tom curtly, as if he could read Billy's mind. "Don't worry about the teachers, they're all in the hospital hospital now. Turn left—"

Suddenly, a wooden door creaked, and a huge shadow was reflected on the wall. Billy heard a hoarse voice saying: "... Come out, come here... Come on the box..."

Tom skipped the corner lightly, and Billy took a quick stride.A huge black figure crouched by the door, and beside it stood a large box, almost half the size of a carriage box.

Billy's eyes widened: "Hagrid—!"

"Ruburus," Tom said casually to the huge figure, "good evening."

Rubeus Hagrid slammed the door shut and stood up. He looked flustered but determined: "...Tom, Billy? It's so late, what are you doing here?"

It seems that this sentence should be asked by a fifth grade prefect to a third grade student who is still wandering in the corridor in the middle of the night.Billy glanced at Tom, but the Slytherin prefect didn't seem to intend to explain the whole story to him, he just walked forward calmly: "I'm sorry, Ruburt, but it's time to end. This matter is Responsible, the girl wrapped in spider silk must have seen it and remembered what it looks like." He paused, "Of course I can make up a reasonable reason for you to keep you out of the matter—but we must put It goes to the principal."

"Impossible!" Hagrid said firmly, "It can't be him! Aragog won't!"

Billy was still reacting: "—— Aragog?"

"Listen, this is no longer the time to debate whether it 'will' or 'won't' - Myrtle's parents are coming to school tomorrow." Tom's expression didn't change, but his thin lips twisted Yes, the voice suddenly became harsh, "If they file a complaint, Hogwarts may even be temporarily closed-get out of the way!"

He pulled out his wand unexpectedly, and a spell flashed and slammed open the wooden door.Hagrid completely blocked the doorway with his big body, and his roar seemed to shake the corridor: "It's not him! He definitely won't! At least—he didn't mean to!" Then he also took out his own A thick wand.

But Tom didn't care at all. He frowned and cast a spell, and Hagrid's wand immediately arced and flew down to Billy's feet.There was a violent shaking sound from a large box in the corner of the room, and Tom took two steps forward, pointing his wand at it.

Hagrid let out a wail like a wounded animal - suddenly he jumped up and threw Tom to the ground - and at the same time the box slammed open!

Billy felt his heart stop for a moment—

Inside that box is a nightmare!Many bright eyes, tangled hairy black legs, sharp pincers, this is a ferocious big spider!

The monster jumped out of the box in a hurry, and saw Tom fighting Hagrid on the ground—the latter had just escaped from under Hagrid, trying to control Hagrid's huge fist, and his wand fell aside.At this moment, the monster pounced fiercely and raised its pincers without hesitation!

Billy's heart was already in his throat, and he picked up Hagrid's wand as fast as he could in his life, and rushed to block Tom who was thrown down by Hagrid.He didn't know what was going on with him, but he actually yelled out the most lethal spell he knew, it wasn't that there were many obstacles or everything was petrified, but: "——Avada Kedavra!"

A faint green light brushed one of the monster's black legs and flew past, and Hagrid yelled "No!", got up and stumbled over to snatch the wand from Billy's hand: "Aragok - run! He's going to kill you! Run!!"

Billy was dazzled by Hagrid's bump, and before he had time to react, the furry black figure had already passed him quickly, and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Tom coughed, clutching his ribs that were in danger of breaking and rose to his feet.He looked at Billy with rare shock in his dark eyes.

For a moment, the three of them were only busy panting.

Soon, Hagrid recovered a little bit, but his eyes were red: "I always thought you were a good person... a rare good person in Slytherin, but it turns out that you can be evil! Unforgivable Curse! Ha——I want to Tell Professor Dumbledore! See who gets expelled!"

With stars in front of Billy's eyes, he struggled to breathe heavily, feeling like he was about to fall over.However, in the next second, a hand firmly supported his arm: "...don't...don't make fun of Merlin." He said intermittently, "tell Dumbledore? Flashback curse... only... ...only proves that the spell came from your wand."

Hagrid froze.

"I'm sorry, I just thought he was too threatening, any other defensive spell would be too insecure... Besides, it wasn't an Unforgivable Curse at all, I didn't pronounce the 'V' right..." Billy said dryly, " Even if my pronunciation is 120 points correct, I can't kill your Aragog, at most, I can only make him bleed a little-if he has a nose... "

Hagrid let out a roar, "You Slytherin scum!"

"If it wasn't for him to hurt Tom! If it wasn't for this! But even if it wasn't for—" Billy, however, gave the tall, thin, pale, dark-haired boy beside him a hard look, and he gasped twice. He took a deep breath and felt that his eyes could hardly be opened.His next words were addressed to both Tom and Hagrid, "Next time, before you keep a monster as a pet—for the sake of Merlin's briefs, please think about whether it will one day take Treat people as snacks!"

A burst of chaotic footsteps came towards this side. There is no doubt that this violent movement could not help alarming the teachers.Billy felt sick as hell in his chest, and there was a humming in his ears—

The next moment, the already dim lights in the corridor went completely dark in front of his eyes.

——This is a chaotic dream.

Dreams of gleaming black pincers and thick hairy legs, green snakeskin and weeping myrtle.For a while Billy dreamed that he was back in Hogwarts 70 years later.William, Cousin Ivan, Draco, Teddy... those familiar faces passed in front of him indifferently, but he opened his mouth in vain and couldn't make a sound at all.

... It's like there is some medieval spell in the ear, being recited repeatedly!Suddenly a green light flashed, and a tall, thin, pale figure appeared, his pupils were slender like a snake, shining a ferocious red light——

Billy stumbled back in a void of darkness—Merlin!How can this be? !

He woke up with a start.

Billy gasped for breath, and the bright white light forced him to close his eyes that he had finally opened.After a while, he realized that his cold sweat was about to soak the sheets.

This is the school hospital.

"you're awake?"

It was the sound that really brought Billy back to reality, and he shifted his blurred vision to see Tom sitting on the edge of the bed.There was no blood on his face, like those slow-moving marble sculptures.

Billy breathed a sigh of relief—his roommate's high nose was still on his face, thanks to Merlin.

Tom helped Billy raise his pillow, then handed him a glass of water.Watching Billy bow his head to drink, after a while, Tom suddenly said in a very soft voice: "Well, well, you are very good. Now, Billy Stubbs, can you finally hide told me about it?"

Billy choked, "Madame Pomfrey... told you?" He paused, pretending to be drinking water, but actually glanced at Tom's expression guiltily, "You know, don't you? Look , we each know each other's secret, now it's even—"

"Don't play tricks, Billy," said Tom, narrowing his eyes dangerously. As he moved closer, his voice became softer and more menacing, "I want to hear from you."

There was a silence.There seemed to be a clock running inaccurately in the school hospital, the ticking sound was cut off from time to time, and the old watch movement groaned softly.

"...Okay. Since you must know... I'm going to be taking Requiem Potion three times a month. That means that damned soul is shaking again. Sorry, I didn't tell you. I was worried... Forget it, it's nothing. But I promise you—" Billy paused dryly, the lights of the school hospital flickering in front of his eyes, and another wave of dizziness hit him, and he tried to stay awake, "I don't want to die, Tom .I used to think it wasn't a big deal, because—" He tried to choose his words, but had to be vague, "Because I thought I might become a ghost or something. In the wizarding world, what is impossible? ?”

Billy stopped, his eyes downcast, so he didn't see Tom's tightly pressed lips.

There was another silence, this time not even the sound of the old clock.

"But now," said Billy, with a wry smile, and the last words, "I think death is a terrible thing. If—" If I die.If I go back.If I never see you again.If from now on you are just the Dark Lord in that textbook to me.

Really, Tom, it's dreadful.

Billy couldn't speak any more.

Tom's dark eyes widened, and suddenly he leaned over and hugged Billy very abruptly, as if trying to wrap him around him.Billy could even feel Tom's young, lean body trembling slightly, and his vibrant heart beating so hard.

"Of course you won't die," but Tom's voice sounded so calm, even sharp, "don't be like a terminally ill Muggle. Wizards live a long time, don't they? We'll stay when we graduate." As a teacher at Hogwarts, you can send me a pair of woolen socks or gloves every year, and I," he paused, frowning, "can handle your pumpkin pie."

"Uh...that's great, although I don't think you are very suitable for teaching." Billy wanted to rub Tom's black hair. You know it's impossible to even think about it, but now he thinks Tom might will put up with him.Also, he was tempted to say that pumpkin pie was probably something the house-elves had enough of, and it had nothing to do with Tom--but he refrained from both of those things in the end, and just said lightly, "I think you can Try to replace Professor Mellors, who gives me extremely low marks every year."

Tom smiled sarcastically: "All he can teach is to make you fall less ugly after being hit by a jinx. But—you won't be studying at Hogwarts then."

Billy felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and the damn sleepiness was too heavy. He wanted to say something more, but he only had time to say "um", and leaned on Tom's shoulder, and fell asleep again drowsily. past.

===========================================

The author has something to say: There is no evidence to prove what kind of blood Myrtle is. The Muggle blood was written by the jar for convenience, so I will explain it here to avoid controversy.

Did Billy understand?In fact, the jar thought that he didn't want to understand, but his feelings were out of control...so this is no longer a one-man show of feelings, come on, the devil!

I wish you all a happy reading~O(n_n)O

41 A startling piece of news

Bless Merlin, things don't seem to be as bad as Billy thinks.

He passed out in Tom's arms last night, and then developed a high fever, but Madam Pomfrey's superb healing skills quickly brought everything under control.

When he woke up in the morning, Billy was fever-free.Of course Tom wasn't there. He was driven back by Madam Pomfrey last night. After all, even a prefect had to attend class the next day.

"...You students are such a headache." Madam Pomfrey walked into the school hospital early in the morning. She was carrying two cups of potion, the pearly white one was Billy's, and the other one showed bright chrysanthemums. Pink, "...don't let go of anything, make a fuss, as if you are really going to die soon..."

Although she was complaining, her subordinates still moved swiftly.A cup of medicine was handed to Billy, and another cup was sent to Billy's next bed.

The curtain flickered, and Madam Pomfrey went back to get her wand: "You'll have a checkup in a moment, Stubbs." She wiped her wand, her mouth curled down, and her tone was stern, but her eyes Li smiled slightly, "Don't say stupid things, you don't want to die—you haven't reached that point yet, as long as you take your medicine on time, check up regularly, and control your emotions—well, lie down now." She While telling Billy, he casually lifted the curtain of the next bed, "How are you today, Hill? You still have to be careful with your arms..."

— Madam Pomfrey heard what he and Tom said last night!Billy coughed twice in embarrassment, and felt as if a burning spell had been cast on the base of his ears, and he felt hot all of a sudden.He quickly lay down as if nothing had happened, but Madam Pomfrey didn't notice his embarrassment, she turned around and took out the two empty medicine cups.

"Hi, Billy." A familiar thin voice came from the next bed. "I woke up this morning and found... oh, you're right next to me. They said you were brought in last night," The voice sounded very happy, "Have you been attacked by a monster too? Did you go looking for it for me? Oh...that's true!"

Billy stared blankly at the curtain to his left - then with a "swipe" sound, one hand lifted it

Myrtle's blushing face was revealed, and she shrugged her glasses shyly: "I'm so glad that I can... share a ward with you!"

"..."

Thanks to Myrtle, Billy got out of the hospital as quickly as possible.He was greeted by the looming OWLs, and Tom slammed various subject notes in front of him.Billy couldn't even remember the results of his Ordinary Wizarding Level exams in his previous life, and he was really not sure about the upcoming one.

With the exam approaching, Billy felt his throat tighten day by day.And his roommate—that goddamn straight-A student—didn't seem to need to read at all.Generous Tom, who spends a good portion of each evening supervising Billy's revisions, would have simply instructed Billy, if possible, to smear some jam on his notes from the past five years and eat them all.

"Really, man, thanks..." Billy was so sleepy that he couldn't help looking at Tom beggingly. "You're bothering me, but I don't see why you need—"

"Go on. It's time for you to turn the page," said Tom impassively, lounging on a carved chair in the common room. "Next chapter—Medieval Charm Achievements. Recite it to me in half an hour." All important wizards and basic spell changes."

Billy had a sudden "if only I hadn't been out of the hospital" feeling.To be honest, he never knew that the prefect also had the duty to urge the students to review.He looked down at Tom's notes, the beautiful handwriting seemed to be dancing each one, becoming more and more blurred——

"It's warm enough to make you sleepy, isn't it? Wake up, Billy, or I won't mind giving you a Freezing Charm anytime," said the Slytherin prefect in a hideous drawl. "You've stopped here 5 minutes - turn the page."

"..."

Merlin, after the turmoil of the monster attack completely subsided, Billy did not forget an important person——Hagrid.

Tom kept his mouth shut after saying briefly, "He's not fired," and it was obvious that the matter was over with him, and Tom didn't want to talk about it.So, Billy didn't really know the news about Hagrid until after the sixth grade started-the students went home during the summer vacation, and all the fifth graders were anxiously waiting for the final results of the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination, and Billy even Not even in the mood to communicate with Lucretia.

——It was only then that he realized how much Lucretia had played in spreading the Hogwarts gossip.

On the first day of sixth grade, Billy ran into Vitok from Gryffindor in the hallway.The moment they met, both of them were a little embarrassed, and the reason was self-evident: Hagrid almost deducted all points from Gryffindor last school year, and it was Tom and Billy who exposed him.

"...he's fine, he just got a serious warning. It's a good thing he didn't get fired." Wittok looked around for a moment, then suddenly said, "He didn't mean it, Billy...he wanted to apologize—"

"No, uh..." Billy rubbed his nose in bewilderment, "It's us, uh, sorry."

They chatted a few more words about last semester's OWLs results and broke up hastily.Fortunately, Billy soon meets Lucretia.

In fact, the house-elf kitchen is like Lucretia's second lounge.What the library is to Tom and the girls' bathroom is to Myrtle.Once you get the hang of it, you'll have just the right opportunity for when you "really want to run into someone."

"—I didn't tell you?" said Lucretia, frowning, adding a little milk to her black tea, "that Gryffindor boy was given a serious warning, and the giant spider was sent to the Forbidden Forest .It did no irreversible harm, which is the only thing Hogwarts can do under the Special Fantastic Beasts Protection Act."

"But this was a malicious attack—"

"Not really." Lucretia gave a short laugh. "It's safe to say that the spider sneaked out from where Hagrid hid it that night, and its owner didn't know about it. You know, this This kind of giant creature needs an open space to let the wind out. It was wandering in the corridor and saw Myrtle at a corner. According to it, Myrtle was already unconscious at the time, and it thought she was dead, so it wanted to eat something. Stuffing. It's a bad idea, I say--eating myrtle? Oh, it's going to make people sick."

Billy couldn't help narrowing his eyes. "So, you mean—it was a misunderstanding?"

"Yes, though it sounds ridiculous. It spun silk around the poor girl, trying to digest her and eat her slowly, but halfway through her wrapping, the spider suddenly found--'Huh? She Didn't she die?'. After discovering this fact, she was depressed and frightened, but she couldn't get rid of the spider threads wrapped around Myrtle's body, so she had to run away in a hurry."

"..."

"Be nice, Billy, what's that look on your face?" Lucretia said leisurely, "I have one more thing to tell you."

"It's nothing, it seems that the big spider's brain is not very bright-I mean, this is really the best ending I can imagine..." Billy swallowed the treacle pie that was choked in his throat, and looked at it. After seeing his blushing face, the house elf hurriedly brought him a cup of pumpkin juice, "What else do you want to tell me, Liu Di? I hope it won't be something that subverts my cognition again."

Lucretia smiled strangely, her usually gloomy eyes were now shining with light.After tapping the teacup twice with a small spoon, she said, "Of course not, I bet you will be so excited when you find out. You remember what Dippet said at the opening ceremony yesterday - this semester Hogwarts There is one—" She paused, and the corners of her lips curled up mysteriously, "There is a big surprise!"

Billy was confused by her unusual attitude, and he put down the teacup in his hand: "Yes, but he claimed to keep it secret until the end of September. Do you know what it is?"

Lucretia smiled, and it wasn't until Billy finally blinked impatiently and quickly that she said, "What I'm about to say next is known only to a handful of people: an activity that has stopped for centuries is about to be Recovery, you must have heard of this, Billy - the Triwizard Tournament!"

Billy's eyes widened.Thank Merlin he had just put down the teacup, otherwise it would have been thrown on the floor.He lost his voice: "Impossible!"

Lucretia leaned back in her chair, smiled calmly, and said nothing.

As soon as he got back to the dorm, Billy contacted Tom with his communication badge.However, just when Billy vaguely mentioned that there was an important news to tell him, he was interrupted by a disapproving voice from over there: "It seems that you are very interested in that resurgent game?"

Billy narrowed his eyes: "You know?"

"Blake told you, didn't he?" There was a soft hum from the badge, but Tom didn't answer directly, but lazily said, "Okay, I'll talk about it when I get back." As soon as he finished speaking, the badge light went out down.

Once again, Billy felt strongly that Merlin had fooled him.Nagini swam past him, gloating, and he rubbed his nose, speechless.But—he still felt his throat was dry—how could this be possible!The Triwizard Tournament in his memory was obviously interrupted until the mid-90s of this century, at least 50 years ago!

But having said that, enough things have been changed in this era, and this one is not bad.Perhaps the history of Hogwarts has been rewritten decades later, so there is nothing surprising.

However, in a vague way, Billy always felt that among the magical festivals in the wizarding world, the Triwizard Tournament was one of the most accident-prone activities.He always felt that something was about to happen-he was sure that he must have been warned by fate from the future.

Unfortunately, however, he couldn't remember anything in a vague way.

At the end of September, at the end of a school dinner, Principal Dippet finally announced the long-kept secret.After briefly introducing the origin of the Triwizard Tournament and the planning of this event, the weak old wizard was almost fainted by the screams and heated discussions from the roof.

"Okay! Quiet! Ann—" Dippet finally couldn't hold it anymore, he waved his hands as if he had had enough, but all this was in vain, as if an explosion was happening in the auditorium.

"...Merlin, I knew it, the damned Ministry of Magic... that's enough! The headmaster and prefects," the old headmaster looked at the long table of the staff as if asking for help, but Dumbledore took the lead and stood up. Relieved, Dippet wiped his forehead, "Take your students back to bed quickly, and be careful!"

Wrapped in the excited buzzing crowd, the Slytherin students, led by Tom, walked towards the tunnel under the lake.They filed into the common room, and next to Billy was Lucretia.The moment their eyes met, she nodded towards him, as if to say, "Well, look, I didn't lie to you, did I?".

Billy had barely managed to pull a smile at Lucretia before he had to say goodnight to her, as their prefect strode down the boys' hallway to the right of the narrow lounge.

Tom stood upright with his arms folded. He had opened the door to the dormitory and stood haughtily waiting.The tall, thin and handsome boy was like a perfect statue. He squinted his eyes and raised his eyebrows slowly at Billy.

42 A big trouble from afar

"Do you want to sign up?" Tom asked straight to the point after closing the dormitory door.

Billy froze for a moment, then realized that he had been seen through by his roommate again: "Did you see it?"

"You blinked your eyes and kept touching your nose when Dippet said that everyone can sign up for the school," Tom snorted dismissively, "I'm not blind." He paused, using that He said in an unquestionable command tone, "Don't even think about it, don't go."

Billy froze again: "Why?"

"Because I don't allow it. Besides, you can't be selected."

"You've got to be reasonable, Tom--although I know it's not easy for you."
