Mentor and Friends

Although Tom has been invited, after all, Christmas will take more than a month to come. Before that, everything will be as usual.

As if that invitation hadn't been asked, Harry and Tom met as usual, and tutored and searched books in the forbidden book section as usual.

Sometimes, Tom would be a little confused, why when he gave the application slip to Professor Harry, the other party signed it without even looking at it. You know, even Professor Slughorn, he would take a look at his application first. the name of the book.

But Harry was completely different, as long as he handed it over, he would sign it. You must know that what he wanted to borrow was a forbidden book.

Tom still didn't understand why the other party signed it so easily. Didn't he care if the students would learn bad things at all?

After all, the books and contents in it are extremely...fascinating.

Could it be that he has just started to become a professor, so he doesn't know the importance of these books to students?Or maybe he doesn't care about any students at all?

An event shortly afterwards proved Tom wrong.

It happened during a Quidditch training. Slytherin students and Gryffindor students quarreled. Tom was the first to be notified. When he rushed over, the two had been stopped by Dumbledore. up.

However, because both parties used magic, both of them were slightly injured.

They were transferred to the medical wing, and the people present followed to the door to wait for the professors to ask questions, but Dumbledore never came out after entering, they could only wait aside, and Tom, as the prefect, did not immediately leave.

Harry was dragged by Ron.

It looked like he didn't know what was going on, and his face was full of doubts.

When they went in and came out again, Tom found that the always gentle professor had a frosty face, while the teaching assistant was standing behind the other, a little at a loss.

"Mrs. Nass, I think, I need an empty space, is it convenient for you?" Harry said to the owner of the medical wing at that time.

Mrs. Nass looked at Harry's bad expression and nodded without saying anything.

She found an empty room for Harry.

After Harry waited for the children to go in, he cast many spells at the door at once, including the silence spell, the expulsion spell, and so on. As for many spells, Tom couldn't recognize them.

Harry's hand alone could make the children present look sideways.

But Harry just calmly conjured up chairs for them to sit on.

"So, who can tell me what's going on here?" Although everyone could see that his face was not good, they didn't expect that the professor's tone of speech was as calm as usual, as if it was just a small slap in the face of the children. He just came to understand the situation a little bit.

But Tom didn't think so.

Keenly felt that the other party was angry, and very angry.

The children around him looked at each other several times before talking in a hurry.

Tom sneered.

Such a clumsy lie... Are these idiots really Slytherins?

On the side, the Gryffindors stared at the Slytherins in disbelief.

They looked at the professor in front of them, as if they wanted to say something, but they suddenly remembered that the other party was now the dean of Slytherin—even though the other party seemed to have a bad relationship with Slytherin, he was the dean after all, and they The dean is also very strict with them, but generally speaking, he protects them as much as he can.

So the Gryffindors didn't say anything, they just looked at Harry a little unwillingly and aggrieved.

After the Slytherin students finished speaking, Harry was silent for a while.

Gryffindor's expression was getting more and more frustrated, while on the other hand, Slytherin's expression was getting more and more relaxed.

Only Tom, keeping an eye on Harry.

His instinct told him that Harry was angry, even though he didn't show it...

After a long time, Harry sighed slightly: "I am very disappointed in you."

what?

The few people present were stunned, staring at Harry, not knowing why Harry said that.

Harry looked at the few people present, with disappointment in his eyes: "No matter what quarrel you had before, why didn't you stop them when they were using magic? Gero was seriously injured by black magic and is still unconscious, Nas Madam preliminarily estimates that this is likely to damage his brain and cause mental decline, is this what you want?"

No one imagined that such a serious accident would happen.

The Slytherins opened their mouths slightly.

"Many children in Slytherin have learned black magic in private. This is actually not a secret. In view of your family's special education, the school has not said anything. However, your family taught you black magic for your future. , instead of letting you use it to point at your classmates." Harry looked at the children present, "You are not eleven or twelve-year-old children, and you will leave this school in less than two years, but why are you still so irrational? ?”

His speaking speed was actually very slow, and every word was very clear. Harry was not accusing or scolding. If it was such a tone, maybe the children present would not take it seriously. Adults are always used to swearing at students. , Relying on their age and their "knowledge" more, scolding students in a tone of someone who has come or "I'm doing it for your own good".

However, it was such a tone, which contained a touch of disappointment, that made the people present bow their heads.

"No matter what happened before, it was a misunderstanding, or there was a real quarrel, but when black magic comes out of the wand, you should stop it, even if it is the simplest armor, you are not willing to put it on that child Vote, you are just standing on the sidelines, do you mean that because you are in Slytherin, you are really helpless?" Harry looked at the children in front of him and sighed.

This is not in his era. In this era, there is no war, no oppression by the Dark Lord, and the children should live together peacefully. Occasionally, there is a little trouble, but throwing black magic, this is really disappointing.

Could it be that profit is really needed to drive Slytherin?

Harry knew that if Draco heard his words, that proud guy would definitely snort coldly and use family interests and behaviors that he didn't understand to teach him, but, after all, he was an adult and already Draco, who meddled in family affairs, and these children were still minors, they were still students, and should be under the protection of adults, but today they threw black magic at their classmates, and even got black magic Magical children are likely to lose their intelligence because of this.

This is too serious.

"Professor..." Several Gryffindor students looked at Harry. They didn't expect that Harry didn't investigate whether what happened before was true or not, and didn't punish them for listening to the Slytherin people first. For punishment, he just told them in a flat but disappointed tone that he was very disappointed in them.

The children lowered their heads, not daring to look at Harry.

Yeah, rightly or wrongly, they should have stopped the two who were attacking each other, but they didn't...

"If that child really loses his intelligence, or cannot be saved at all, I don't know if you will have trouble sleeping in the future, but you have to know that each of you is responsible for the child's accident. "Harry shook his head, "Gryffindor children are impulsive, but they are not fools."

When he finished speaking, everyone looked at him.

Obviously, this sentence showed that Harry didn't believe what the Slytherins said before, or rather, didn't believe their half-truths and half-false words.

"Professor Dumbledore and I will investigate what happened again. Before that, because you failed to protect your classmates, I think I need to give you some punishment." Harry held his forehead, "Children, you Remember, in Hogwarts, you are family, not enemies."

Harry left after saying these words. Everyone looked at Assistant Ron as if he wanted to say something to them, but finally chased them out anxiously.

The Gryffindors also went out, but the remaining Slytherins did not dare to move because of Tom's presence.

"A quarrel, a duel?" Tom sneered and looked at the people who shrank their necks in front of him, "Very well, it seems that you have forgotten the rules that Slytherin should abide by to do such a stupid thing."

Several people were very afraid of Tom. They shrank their necks and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Tom.

"You better hope that guy is okay, or..."

Otherwise, the first person to punish you is the dean!

After Tom finished saying this in his heart, he left with a cold face.

He was wrong. Harry didn't care about the students. On the contrary, he cared about every student. After the Gryffindor children were harmed by black magic, he actually suppressed himself because he didn't want to hurt the children who were watching In contrast to Dumbledore, who is kind to everyone on the surface, but actually prefers Gryffindor, Harry treats everyone fairly, and even if he is angry, he will not speak unscrupulously .

Then, why, he let himself enter the forbidden and book area so reassuringly?

Inexplicably, Tom remembered the disappointment and struggle that flashed in Harry's eyes when he saw Harry signing his autograph, and his frown deepened.

the other side:

"Harry." Ron looked at the man who threw himself on the sofa without speaking as soon as he returned to the cellar, and walked to the other side with a frown, "don't be sad."

"Ron," said Harry sullenly, "I like Hogwarts like this."

Ron stood beside Harry and said nothing.

"I don't want it to become what it was when we entered school, with hostility and suspicion everywhere, I really want to maintain this kind of peace..."

However, what happened today gave him a feeling that the peaceful relationship was gradually collapsing.

Ron, who was not good at comforting others, patted Harry on the shoulder lightly: "Don't think too much, buddy, if you really don't want to, then try to improve."

"Oh..." Harry sighed angrily.

Ron stood aside, unable to say anything in the end.

If you really intervene in the matter here, then you don't know what will happen in the future.

One is stuffed on the sofa, the other is sitting on the side, the usually lively cellar has become deserted for the first time...
