Mentor and Friends

"What's the matter, Tom?" Because Tom didn't want Ron to tutor him, so Harry had to do it himself.

Fortunately, Tom is actually very smart. Harry said that it doesn’t take long for him to understand i. In fact, it’s not that Harry didn’t think that Tom probably didn’t understand today’s content. He just wanted to find an excuse to come to the cellar. Harry himself didn't understand Tom's purpose.

However, if Tom didn't say anything, then he wouldn't ask.

After all, this is not his confusion.

But Tom frequently lost his mind when he was teaching, which really made Harry helpless.

Since you came to the cellar on the grounds that you don't understand the content of today's lesson, can you please show a little fascination when I explain it?

Otherwise, I'm sorry for the pile of questions on your notebook!

Tom recovered from his contemplation and looked at Harry.

Harry is really different from many professors. He has the patience that other professors don't have. Look at just now, even though I asked him to tutor with some excuses and lost his mind during the tutoring process, Harry didn't Show even the slightest bit of anger.

Logically speaking, his behavior just now can be said to be disrespectful to the professor.

But Harry just looked at Tom suspiciously.

Tom suddenly thought of Dumbledore.

Yes, that's Dumbledore.

Harry's tolerance is really very similar to Dumbledore's, that kind of gentle smile, that kind of eyes that seem to see everything, are inexplicably similar to Dumbledore's.

Tom suddenly felt a little unhappy.

Why should he be the Head of Slytherin House, similar to the Head of Gryffindor House?People who don't know think they are father and son, otherwise they are so similar in temperament?

But he didn't express his dissatisfaction, but started another topic: "They were punished, and the headmaster personally imposed confinement."

He himself didn't know why he told Harry about it, although Harry could have heard about it from other professors, but he came anyway.

Harry froze for a moment before realizing what Tom was referring to.

"Well, I've heard about it."

"Professor..." Tom hesitated, and then asked again, "What does the professor think of the current Slytherin?"

Harry was surprised for a moment: "Why do you ask me that?"

Tom lowered his eyelids: "Just wondering..."

Harry suddenly fell silent.

He thought about it, and then gave Tom this answer: "To me... they are like children who haven't grown up yet."

Tom looked at Harry in surprise.

He thought about many kinds of Harry's answers, for example, being too arrogant, or paying too much attention to the so-called etiquette, or asking too much of himself, or even not caring about other colleges, may become Harry's objection. evaluations of their colleges.

But what about now?

The other party actually said to himself in such a joking tone: "That's just a group of children."

Well, they are minors, but their usual behavior has rarely seen them as children. In the four houses, anyone may be like a child, but no one will think that Slytherin The people and children in it can get along well.

So for a while, Tom couldn't react.

Harry smiled: "What do you think of their behavior before?"

A cold gleam flashed in Tom's eyes: "It's extremely stupid and doesn't think about the consequences." How can such a person deserve to stay in Slytherin!

"Isn't that what it is?" Harry spread his hands, "Children, they always do things without considering the consequences. They always want to act quickly and don't think carefully, so what are you not children? Just like you, obviously I came here to ask questions, but now I am talking about other aspects, isn't this typical child behavior?"

Tom's eyes widened in disbelief.

Is the other party saying that he is too half-hearted to study hard?

Then because of this, he was crowned a "child"?

Some guy who was big as a kid was extremely dissatisfied with the name Harry gave himself, but he didn't know how to refute it.

"Okay, it's time for us to get back to the topic. I saw a lot of red dots circled in your notes." Harry shook Tom's notebook, signaling Tom not to waste time on things that shouldn't be wasted.

Tom regained his composure and wanted to ask something, but in the end he listened attentively to Harry's explanation.

In fact, he understands 80.00% of the questions in this notebook. He just came to Harry for an excuse before, but Tom didn’t know that Harry is a very responsible person. After ink circled so many questions, Harry figured he could get Tom to figure them out before curfew.

Of course, Harry at this time undoubtedly forgot that Tom himself was a genius, and he didn't need much time to understand knowledge that many people couldn't understand, so he let Tom concentrate.

It's not that Tom doesn't understand this knowledge. Originally, he wanted to ask Harry some questions, but after Harry started explaining to him, he suddenly fell silent.

Although he knew all this clearly, he didn't mind hearing Harry say it a few more times.

After all... Tom has to admit that he likes to see Harry's concentration when he is teaching them. After he arrived at Hogwarts, he took Harry with him. There were three professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but none Which professor could make him concentrate on listening to the class like Harry did.

Harry's teaching style is very interesting, and Harry's class is not to separate the theory class from the practical class, but to gather them together, let them practice while explaining the theory, and even remind them that they may appear in some special cases mistake.

And most of all, Tom thought, he liked Harry's voice.

That kind of gentle voice makes people feel that it is a kind of enjoyment.

So at this time, he didn't ask any more questions, but listened intently to Harry's explanation, and then occasionally asked a question or two to prove that he was listening carefully and thinking seriously.

This back and forth, they all lost track of time, on Ron's side, Moody and Minerva had already finished their questions, and when Ron untied the spell, they found that Harry was still explaining to Tom.

So, Ron's eyebrows twitched immediately, and he had the urge to gnash his teeth.

That man is Voldemort, oh Voldemort!

Although he has not yet become Voldemort in this world, a Horcrux has already been born, so he is really not far from becoming Voldemort!

Harry, Harry, you know he is Voldemort, why are you teaching him so seriously!

Bastard, do you want to cultivate a Voldemort with your own hands!

Oh, don't tell me wait till he becomes Voldemort you're telling me "we can kill him once and we'll have a second", I don't want to accompany you to find a Horcrux again!

"Assistant?" Seeing that Ron's expression was wrong, Minerva looked at him with some doubts, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay!" Ron gritted his teeth, but he didn't look away from Harry.

Moody looked at Harry and Tom over there, and was somewhat puzzled why Ron had such a vicious expression—you know, Ron usually has a...comparatively white—expression.

Tom obviously also noticed that someone was staring at him, and he turned his head a little bit suddenly. Ron had no time to hide, and he just pretended to be upright with a dissatisfied gaze.

Because of a sudden face-to-face with Tom, and Tom's eyes were a little sharp, this made Ron, who has always been psychologically shadowed, miss a beat. It took him a few seconds to recover from his stiff neck. It was normal, and then she pretended to look away as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help crying in her heart: I, I, I...I actually looked at Voldemort for so long...

Tom looked at Ron in some surprise, he could naturally see that Ron's eyes were not aimed at him just now, but he was looking at Harry in front of him.

It's just... he's a man, what is he doing looking at Harry with that look?Like Harry owed him something.

Thinking about it, Tom suddenly thought of something that he didn't know when he was a Muggle, but it became commonplace in the wizarding world.

He thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that the relationship between Harry and Ron was really not so good. Could it be that they...

"It's almost curfew." Harry said in a surprised voice, "Let's stop here today, Tom, if you still don't understand anything, you can ask me tomorrow." Harry smiled and put his notebook Handed it back to him, his bright smile was more dazzling than the candlelight beside him.

Tom silently took the book Harry handed over, thinking about what questions he should write tomorrow so that Harry wouldn't see that he just randomly selected some knowledge points to find an interface to the cellar.

You know, the whole school knows about his genius!

Damn genius, he would rather be just an ordinary student!Tom rubbed his forehead thinking.

In this way, before coming to the cellar, he doesn't need to read some knowledge points and record them. You know, because the learning progress is faster than others, so the knowledge points that are difficult for others are not the same thing for him ,so……

"It's almost curfew, let's take you back, it's Ron and I's turn to watch tonight," said Harry.

"Why didn't you go!" Ron was a little lazy and wanted to hide in the cellar and not go out.Night travel had never been his specialty, even as a Gryffindor.

"Unless you don't want supper." Harry shrugged.

"Oh..." Ron was a little frustrated, "Don't threaten me."

"I've always liked it."

"I'll go, can't I go..." You know, he doesn't have enough to eat tonight, and he needs the loving service of the house elves!

"let's go!"

Ron, who was a little too lazy to move before, now walked to the front in one go.

Harry shook his head, a little helplessly.

The three followed behind them. Tom narrowed his eyes slightly as he saw the figures of Ron and Harry crossing their shoulders...
