Mentor and Friends

The days flew by as Tom carefully flipped through the cutting-edge black magic and Ron faced the tome helplessly. The Slytherins still did not recognize the dean, although they treated each other very respectfully most of the time. , but they always referred to Harry as "Professor" rather than "Dean", even in private.

On the contrary, Harry has been loved by the students of Gryffindor College. They like this humorous professor in class, which is much better than the idiot in the last semester. Such a good professor said they didn't understand and even felt angry, but Harry just laughed off the anger of these children, signaling that the children don't need to care about it.

The behavior of this professor has been recognized by the children, and they like him even more as a professor.

Although Harry didn't say anything on the surface, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was closer to Gryffindor than Slytherin.

"Professor Harry is really exciting." This is what the Gryffindor students said.

Facts have shown that the savior who has gone through the war, even though his personality has restrained a lot, still cannot erase the publicity that he should have, as if his existence is like the most brilliant star, not eye-catching, but gentle enough to attract everyone's attention .

At the same time, Tom found that he could find Harry in the library more and more frequently.

Or the j□j area, or the small desk in the library.

Every time, Harry could be seen engrossed.

The other party seemed to be looking for something eagerly. Recently, he could almost find Harry from the library except during class time.

"Tom, why are you in a daze?" Just when Tom was in a daze, a gentle voice came to his ears.

Tom came back to his senses, looked at Harry for a while, then shook his head: "Just thinking about something." Tom shook his head and said politely.

Even Tom himself didn't know when it would become like this,

At the beginning, it was a short-answer conversation.

Because Professor Slughorn has been away often this year, he needs someone to sign for him, so that he can enter the forbidden area to find books. Until now, he has not found a reasonable explanation for what happened to him after he passed out that day. .

This is his first time making a horcrux, so he needs to be cautious. He wants to live forever and not die, so he can't kill himself while making a horcrux, so the gain outweighs the loss.

So he needed to get close to Professor Harry. He could see that although Professor Harry was very kind to everyone, he was closer to Professor Dumbledore.

If Professor Dumbledore said something in front of Professor Harry, then Tom was afraid that it would be a little difficult for him to go to the forbidden book area in the future.

So when Tom noticed that Harry often appeared in the library during this time, he had such a thought.

Using study as an excuse is the best reason to approach the other party. After all, the other party is a professor, isn't it?

So, when Harry was reading a book in the library, Tom took the initiative to go up and say that he needed to disturb Harry temporarily.

Harry's temperament is gentle - at present, everyone thinks so - for Tom's disturbance, Harry did not show too much displeasure, instead cast a silence spell around, and then patiently gave Tom explained.

Tom asked these questions himself, and he was just trying to find an excuse.

But then he discovered that Harry's explanation was different from that taught by the professor in the past, and the train of thought was also different from the train of thought that Tom drew for himself later.

But it is surprisingly simple and easy to master.

You know, this is the learning content of the sixth grade!

There is a watershed between the fifth grade and the sixth grade. Only when you pass the exam in the fifth grade can you enter the sixth grade improvement class. The so-called improvement class is of course not as simple as laying the foundation in the previous few years. , the difficulty of all the content to be learned has doubled.

But Harry still used that simple way of thinking to explain to him, but at the end of the explanation, it could be extended to the contents of the textbook, which really surprised Tom.

Of course, he kept the surprise in his heart, thanked Harry with a gentle smile, and the etiquette that could never be faulted, and then took out the application slip that he had already prepared.

And when Harry took the application form, the expression on his face always made it difficult for Tom to understand.

It seems to be anger, it seems to be sad, and even... It seems to be sympathy.

But those expressions were fleeting on Harry's face.

Harry signed it without looking at it.

And Tom would always hold that application, looking in the direction Harry was leaving, frowning slightly.

He didn't understand the meaning of Harry's expression.

Then he would take this application to the librarian, and then pick up the book.

In the next time, he will continue to "disturb Harry".Of course, every time he receives a forbidden book, he will specifically list a book on defense or an intermediate book on black magic, so that he can also use these books to circle a few contents Asking Harry was like trying to prove that he borrowed books from the forbidden book section for the purpose of studying.

But no matter what he asked, even if it was about black magic, Harry always taught Tom with a gentle smile, and never said how out of bounds or dangerous the books he read were. Well, sometimes he would look at his application once or twice, mutter a few words about how dangerous these books are, or how tempting these books are, and then encourage Tom a few words.

But Harry would not ask a word.

Tom was also puzzled, but he didn't ask the question after all.

Then, I don't know when it started.

Tom made a habit of searching for Harry as soon as he came to the library, and he was relieved to return the borrowed books to the librarian until he saw Harry.

Moreover, at some point, two notebooks were already prepared by his side.

One is for the questions he encountered while reading the book, and the other is for taking notes when he is always ready to ask Harry.

Since Harry always answered everything no matter what questions he asked, why did he have to find out some questions by himself?Slytherins use any human resources don't they?

And the Slytherins don't know that their chief has such a good relationship with the nominal dean-every time he comes to the library, he arrives at a certain position with ease, and when Tom sits down, Harry consciously puts Take away the book on my desk, such a tacit understanding, can the relationship be bad?

Most of the students who came to the library were Ravenclaw students. They were all focused on studying and researching, and they were not very clear about the internal affairs of the college. In addition, they thought that Harry was the dean of Slytherin, and As Tom is the best student in Slytherin and even Hogwarts, it is not surprising that the two appear in the library together.

Is it strange that the dean teaches the students of his own academy?

Because of such an oolong, no one among the students in Slytherin knew that the relationship between Harry and Tom was so good, not even Abraxas.

And Harry himself didn't think about improving things about himself and Slytherin House, he always thought about letting nature take its course.

Little did he know that his "go with the flow" would allow Tom's feelings for him to be "smooth" in the day-to-day relationship.

But that was a long time later, and now, one of the two of them was thinking about how to use Harry to borrow books from the forbidden book area again, while the other was only focused on the materials he was looking for.

After all, Harry always wanted to let nature take its course, he didn't want to dare to dare the world too much, so for Tom, he didn't want to treat him as an enemy who had entangled him for more than ten years.

Although he will become that madman later.

But now it is only suitable for underage students.

So for Tom's request with ulterior motives, Harry just laughed it off.

It's just that this feeling of watching this child degenerate under his pampering has always made Harry feel uncomfortable.

Although Ron always said to him carelessly, "he would be like this without you anyway, what do you care about".But the helplessness and sadness in my heart are still lingering.

Just when the two of them were thinking about each other, a small paper crane flew in.

Because animals are not allowed in the library, the principal had to send Harry a small cardboard box.

"Tom," Harry closed the book and stood up after reading the contents of the parchment, "don't read the book now, the headmaster has something to do with us."

"Now?" Tom asked, a little surprised.

"Well, yes." Harry nodded, put the book he had finished back on the shelf, and took his notebook away.

Tom didn't know everything, and followed Harry to the principal's office.

Headmaster Dippet and Dumbledore were inside.

"Oh Tom." Dippet looked at him kindly and sadly, "Although this matter is very sad, but after we discussed it for so long, we decided that it would be better to inform you as soon as possible."

"Principal," Tom said with a puzzled look, "may I ask what you're talking about?"

"Oh, this is the news we just received." Dippet picked up a piece of parchment, "It's about the place where you were born."

Tom took it over, and after reading the contents of the parchment, his expression became very subtle: "The orphanage...was burned down?"

"It is said that it was an accident. I don't know where the fire started. When it is discovered, it is too late to put it out." Dippet sighed, "The children inside have been moved to other orphanages, but... "

However, they don't know that there is another child who needs to go back during the summer vacation.

Tom lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking.

Harry, on the other hand, found it hard to breathe.

If he remembered correctly, Tom would need to go back to the orphanage one more time in the future, for the locket.

However, now that the orphanage has burned down, will everything that Harry knows about that period of the past be distorted because of this incident?
