Mentor and Friends

Even though Tom said he didn't care about the weekend trip to Hogsmeade, Abraxas was keenly aware that something was wrong with him.

"I said..." Abraxas leaned against the door and looked at Tom, "You look like this, aren't you really going on a date?"

"Abu, I noticed that you seem to have a lot of free time recently." Tom adjusted his neckline and squinted at him, "I remember that the goal your father gave you was to graduate from all o's." Although the Malfoy family occupies The advantages of education, but it is not so easy to graduate with a full o.

It's funny to say that, although the education of the Malfoy family requires their children to be complete, they are not so persistent that their children must graduate in full. After all, there are always some subjects that Malfoy is not good at. For example, Abraxas was really disgusted with the earthy herbs in herbal medicine class.

It's a pity that Abraxas's father almost got all O's in the exam back then. Unfortunately, he made a small mistake in the herbal medicine written test. He discovered this small mistake when he just left the exam room. When he came down, he was only short of being able to pass all excellent in herbal medicine. His father was not an ordinary regret back then.

Because of this, his father required Abraxas to graduate with all honors.

"You're better than me, Abu," his father told him, "so if it were you, you could do it."

Even if Abraxas had good grades in school, he would not be sure of boasting that he would graduate with all honors.

He's not Tom, the school's mobile library, who can't be asked any questions.

"He's just talking, even if I really can't get all o's, he won't really punish me, at most pin this hope on my children." Abraxas shrugged, his father said to himself He can be said to be very clear about his sternness and kindness.

"The favor of the Malfoy family." Tom smiled and shook his head.

Abraxas raised his eyebrows: "I said Tom, you seem to be in a really good mood recently?"

"How to say?"

"Don't forget, Tom, I know you best."

"Really?" Tom shrugged irrelevantly, "You're right, I've been in a really good mood lately."

"Because you met your sweetheart?"

Tom didn't speak, and indicated with his eyes that Abraxas could leave.

Abraxas smiled, spread his hands and said that he would always know what was going on, and then left.

Tom closed the door and went back to his desk. There was an unpacked book on his desk. It's a pity that Abraxas didn't come in, otherwise he would be horrified to find that this book is definitely from ** , and this book will never be borrowed.

"I'm really in a good mood." Tom's hand lightly brushed the open book. On the page, a naked wizard was wrapped in a black mist, only his head was outside, and he opened his mouth. mouth, let out a silent roar, and after a while, the black mist dissipated, and the wizard stared blankly at his body that was only left with bones—perhaps, he could no longer see it.

Looking at the picture in front of him, a red light flashed in Tom's eyes. He took out a dim crown from a cursed box, and stroked it gently like a rare treasure.There was a pleasant smile on the corner of his mouth, but that smile without a trace of warmth made people so creepy.

"Although I didn't succeed last time, Slytherins are not afraid of failure, aren't they?" He said softly, "Before graduation, you can always have a second one, right?"

The diadem remained dim.

Harry finished grading the paper and rubbed his head.

"What's the matter, Harry?" Ron looked at him. "You look very bad."

"Just feeling a little sleepy," Harry said absently.

"Sleepy?" Ron looked at him with some surprise, "You always get up early, and your schedule is so well adjusted. It's rare to see you sleepy like this during the day." He leaned closer to Harry, "The tone said you were sleepy." No good, if you tell me that you have something on your mind, I will believe it more."

"What's on your mind." Harry sighed softly, "It's sort of."

"What is it?" Ron stared at him.

"I can solve it by myself, it's okay." He shook his head, "I'm going out first, and I have an appointment with Tom to go to Hogsmeade later."

"Jo...joo..." Ron twitched the corners of his mouth.

Why does he always feel like a date?

Harry and Riddle... dating?

Ron shuddered violently.

Well, he admits that he always likes to think wildly, but it can't be his fault, who makes these two people get along so much like lovers these days.

Ron thought with his head down.

And whatever Ron was thinking, Harry didn't know.

He had reached the school gate, where Tom was waiting for him.

"Sorry," Harry scratched his hair a little embarrassedly, "I didn't expect to be late, and I forgot the time when I changed my thesis."

Harry himself didn't expect that he would one day become a professor after rushing out his homework because he was preparing to hand it in. Those young words and papers with half right and wrong always reminded him, Many years ago, that old bat who hated him very much looked at his thesis in the same way, struggling to distinguish the right from the wrong, and then stroked it hard, letting the ink spray out the disdain in his heart instead .

"Professors are always busy." Tom looked at him understandingly.

"It's my fault," said Harry, "they're all gone? Let's go too." While Tom was waiting for him, almost all the students from the third year and above who wanted to go out.

"Yes." Tom replied softly, taking Harry's hand smoothly.

Harry looked at the clenched hands of the two in a strange way, as if he was a little puzzled, but he didn't know how to speak.

The distance between Hogwarts and Hogsmeade is not far, and it didn't take them long to reach the village.

In fact, in this era, apart from Hogsmeade, there are several wizarding towns around Hogwarts, but only on the Hogsmeade side is there a market. There are few people.

Tom took Harry to look at several herbal medicines. Harry looked at the herbs he bought and asked him with a smile if he wanted to improve the blood tonic.

The blood tonic in Harry's era was very different from the blood tonic in this era. It is said that the blood tonic has been perfected during the previous wars.

It is not difficult to make blood tonic, and it is not difficult to improve it, but how to improve blood tonic without side effects is difficult. Harry heard that Slughorn gave the seventh graders homework, according to their improved Good or bad to rate.

"Well," Tom nodded, carefully looking at the materials in front of him, "Harry...do you have any good suggestions?"

"Huh?" Harry stared at him with wide eyes. "You ask me?" He seemed surprised.

"What's the matter?" Tom turned to look at him, with a little softness in his cold eyes, but Harry was too surprised to notice.

"You asked me to make potions according to what was written in the book, and I managed to do it," Harry swallowed. Except for the basic potions that were always prepared for war, the other potions he carried were Hermione and Potions. Draco handled it, "But if you want to improve the potion, you'd better not ask me. The suggestions I give can make you blow up the entire workshop."

"It's not that exaggerated." Tom laughed. This person's expression at the moment is not like a professor, but more like a student who is facing exams and needs to hand in homework like him.

"It's that exaggerated." Harry smiled and waved his hands, "If you want me to introduce you to some books worth reading, I may still be able to help, but if you want me to give you this advice, I think For your safety's sake, forget it."

"Then let's go to the bookstore later, don't say you don't understand anything." Tom turned around and continued to check the materials in his hand.

"Of course."

Ten minutes later, Tom took the packaged potion ingredients handed over by the shopkeeper.

Harry curled his lips.

As long as one has excellent performance in the field of potions, the selection of potion materials is very strict. Although Tom does not have the absolute talent in potions like Irene and Roy, Tom can make up for his weaknesses with hard work.

"You don't seem to like potions very much," Tom asked casually, beside Harry.

"It was potions that I had the most contact with when I was a student." Remembering that he drank more potions than the entire grade put together, Harry said angrily, "I don't think I'll ever have a good opinion of it."

Even if it saved his life countless times.

"Speaking like you used to be very sickly." Tom chuckled, walking on Harry's left, slightly slower than Harry, so Harry could only hear his laughter, not see it. His thoughtful expression.

"Sometimes you don't have to be weak and sick to be given potions, Tom." Harry was still immersed in the resentment that he was forced into the medical wing almost every semester when he was a student, "you know, there are When you get caught up in trouble, you will get hurt too."

Tom stared at Harry's figure. The two people who had been walking side by side were already in a state of tandem and one behind.

The bookstore is not too big, after all, it is not a trading center for wizards, it is just for students to go out and buy some things on weekends.

But Tom can always find some books he needs, so he has been a frequent visitor here since he was in the third grade. He will definitely not feel bad about things, after all, he needs to learn more knowledge and gain more power.

The store owner is very familiar with him.

"Yo Tom," the other party greeted him, "I went to get a batch of new books not long ago, you can see if you are interested, I will give you a [-]% discount."

"Thank you." Tom replied softly, following behind Harry.

"What type of book are you looking for?" Harry stood in front of the bookshelf, looking at the books on the shelf.

"This is your classmate?" Originally, the two came in one after the other. The boss didn't know that they knew each other. Now Harry asked Tom and he found out that the two knew each other. After Harry came to this time and space, he didn't need anything. He was going to Diagon Alley, so the people in Hogsmeade didn't have much impression of him. They had never seen Tom go shopping with other classmates. The boss of Hogsmeade laughed and said, "Or, it's your boyfriend. ?”

Harry was taken aback.

Tom looked at Harry, then at the boss, and suddenly laughed: "If he wants to, I really want to."

Harry and the boss fell at the same time.
