Mentor and Friends

There were a lot of people in the Slytherin lounge just now.

Harry's class today gave them a brand new experience, and it was almost after the speech that they realized how lacking their understanding of those spells was.

It's not as long as you know the spell, you can master it.

In the class just now, many people suddenly didn't know what kind of magic spell they should use to meet Harry's requirements.

It was a flaw, and for Slytherin, it was an unbelievable thing.

But they could also see that Harry should have thought about their situation, so the small animals arranged were completely harmless, but it took some time to avoid their entanglement.

They were discussing today's class in the lounge.

Because all the students in the discussion were seventh graders, most of the people were quietly doing it aside.

The living room seemed to be noisy, but also seemed to be silent.

When Tom came in, several seventh-grade students headed by Abraxas ignored his signs.

Tom himself was preoccupied, and he only maintained a superficial elegance.

He just expressed concern about Harry's physical condition - Tom was sure that although he used Slytherin's communication language, it would not be so tortuous that it would take Harry three minutes to understand, not to mention that he and Harry got along so well. After a long time, could he not know what tone should be the most appropriate to communicate with Harry?

It's just that Tom really didn't know what he said wrong, which caused Harry to look away from him.

Yes, dodge.

After Tom tactfully expressed concern about his physical condition, Harry was stunned for 3 minutes, and then he avoided Tom's sight, and then sent him to the lounge to talk to Dumbledore?

Tom sat on the sofa in the lounge where only the head of the academy could sit, with a book spread out on his feet, but he had no intention of moving his eyes to it.

He was thinking about what was wrong with what he just said.

That should be a very common conversation, but it seems to have caused Harry to dodge himself?

Ha, who can tell him what is going on in this weird situation.

Tom was irritable in his heart, and he felt even more angry when he heard the discussion in his ears. Fortunately, he was a perfect Slytherin. —that was so un-Slytherin.

He shut the book abruptly, wanting to go back to his dormitory.

However, he was stopped halfway.

Slughorn didn't know when he came to the common room, he stopped Tom who wanted to go to rest and settle down a lot of things.

"Professor, what can you do?" asked Tom politely.

After he chose the advisor, Slughorn treated him a lot colder. Tom knew why. When the Warriors were not selected, he had already hinted to many people that he would be the advisor of the Warriors. But who knows that Tom's final choice made Slughorn get a solid slap in the face.

It definitely doesn't feel good to slap yourself in the face.

The only thing is that Tom can get the approval slip from Harry - even though the complex expression that flashes on Harry's face every time makes Tom feel that he is really doing something heinous - Although Tom knew that many things couldn't be fooled out of Harry's mouth like fooling Slughorn, but at least he could get the answer from the book.

So he and Slughorn have not communicated for a while, and the relationship between them seems to be more indifferent than the relationship between Dumbledore and Tom. Anyway, Dumbledore will praise Tom a few words in class, but Now Slughorn has completely regarded Tom as air-Tom believes that if there is a problem with his potion, Slughorn will definitely use it to make use of it.

Just as Slughorn intends to temporarily snub Tom to let Tom understand the consequences of not choosing him as an advisor, and Tom also feels that Slughorn is no longer useful, so he doesn't try to please him. A few weeks later, Slughorn Horn came to Tom with his usual loving smile, which was beyond Tom's expectation.

"You just went to the Forbidden Forest today? Do you know what happened in the Forbidden Forest?" Slughorn looked at Tom mysteriously.

Tom couldn't guess Slughorn's intentions, he replied ambiguously: "Today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is indeed on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, to be honest, this review method can help us learn a lot, People in the lounge are reflecting on their understanding of basic knowledge over the years without paying attention to mastering it, and the practice is simply a mess."

"Oh, I'm not talking about that," Slughorn clearly didn't care much about his students in other subjects, "I mean, what happened later in the Forbidden Forest .”

"Deep in the Forbidden Forest?" Tom expressed his doubts appropriately, "As soon as we finished class, Assistant Ron brought us back."

"Of course, because your Professor Harry discovered something terrible in the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Someone disturbed the magical creatures inside, and now the depths of the Forbidden Forest have become unsafe. You know, the first competition and The Forbidden Forest." He couldn't just say that the venue was in the Forbidden Forest, but his hint was close to being explicit. "The headmaster just contacted the other two headmasters, but the Ministry of Magic is determined not to revise the previous decision, Tom, you know There may be some surprises in this year's game, and Harry is still too young..."

Tom's smiling face gradually shrouded in haze.

Slughorn wasn't giving up.

Did he really want to take advantage of the advisor and get him to agree to change the advisor before the game started?

Tom lowered his head, and suddenly remembered Harry's evaluation of Slughorn that he heard a long time ago: "His obsession with honor surpasses his concern for students. His concern for students is based on the fact that this student There will be great achievements in the future.”

That was what he overheard Harry say to Ron, he didn't know why they started this topic, and when he heard it, the topic was obviously coming to an end, but he could hear the disgust from that sentence .

Tom still remembered his shock at the fact that Harry, who had always been gentle with others, would express his disgust so clearly, and now it seemed that Harry's disgust was not without reason.

"Professor, I'll think about it." What Slughorn said at the end Tom didn't know at all, he was still suave, Slughorn might feel hopeful, smiled with satisfaction, and said something— — to the effect that Tom would decide on such things earlier — and left.

Tom stood there watching his back as he left, and then he realized that he suddenly missed Harry so much.

For some reason, after talking with Slughorn, looking at his satisfied face, he suddenly thought of Harry's gentle smile and soft voice.

He thought of the emotions that had appeared in Harry's eyes when he used to go to him with the book list. Those emotions were fleeting, and Tom had no time to recognize them, but he clearly saw the only one left after those emotions disappeared— — Worry.

Is it because he is worried that he will accidentally become addicted to it after reading those books?

Harry once reminded Tom intentionally or unintentionally in the tutoring for Tom, or in the mutual discussion between the two, that it is not good to read too many books.

Unlike Slughorn, as long as he uses the excuse of "for academic research", he will always sign the book list so happily.

Who cared more deeply, Tom knew in his own mind.

Unconsciously, Tom was already heading for the cellar.

He had never been so impulsive before, this should be something only Gryffindors would do, and he hadn't even thought of what excuse he should use to explain why he was there when he went to the cellar later.

By the time he realized it, he was already at the cellar door.

【You came. 】The beautiful snake above the door winked at him.

The beautiful snake was already on the door when Harry came to the cellar, out of respect for Professor Snape, Harry didn't replace the snake.

【Is the professor in there? ] Tom asked.

[Of course,] the beautiful snake smiled at him, [But it seems to be contacting someone, little boy, you have a rival in love. ] It said and opened the door.

Since he became Tom's advisor, Harry has already given Tom the right to enter and exit the cellar to the beautiful snake above the door. Tom is already a frequent visitor here, and because Tom has a Parseltongue, the snake will open the door.

This beautiful snake often jokes with him. In its cognition, only lovers will stick together all day long. Because it thinks that only Tom can speak snake language, it makes fun of Tom unscrupulously.

All I can say is that Harry should be thankful that he never knew about the snake's teasing about his relationship with Tom.

Tom raised his eyebrows, as in the past, he was noncommittal about the snake's teasing, but the brows that were originally slightly furrowed were more relaxed.

But before he had time to make his smile more perfect, Harry's hearty laughter came from inside the room: "Oh, Hermione, how can you tell me not to love you."

For a moment, he felt as if he had been hit by a spell of rigidity, and the steps that he had stepped out crouched down.

"Of course, I've always been very confident in myself." He heard a female voice that he had never heard before, just the voice with a smile, he could imagine the way the woman spoke at this time.

It must be with an extremely hypocritical smile, otherwise, how could you say such brazen words?

However, such a confident voice, like the light exploding in the dark night, attracts people to fall in love with it involuntarily.

That woman...should be an optimistic and hearty person, just like Harry, who is so dazzling that it attracts everyone's attention, right?

Tom's foot in mid-air just stayed in place, unable to move forward, and unable to retract...

The author has something to say: Obviously Hermione’s contact came at the right time, but for Tom, it’s not a good thing ╮(╯▽╰)╭
