Chapter 41: Telephone
As soon as the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was over, everyone in the classroom rushed out of the classroom in a hurry, as if something terrible was chasing them behind them.
Harry's scar was aching throughout the class.
Tom was about to take Harry to the school infirmary as soon as he got out of class, but Harry insisted that he just had to take a break, and stubbornly took Tom to the Black Lagoon.
It's already October at Hogwarts, and it's already a little cool. The rare sunny weather dispelled the coolness a lot.
Harry led Tom and sat down on a deserted meadow on the edge of the Black Lake, rubbing his scar with a somewhat serious expression.
"I've seen the Requisition Curse. Harry's voice was so low that it was barely audible.
"What?" Tom didn't react to what Harry was saying.
"To be precise, in my dreams, I've seen the Requisition Charm. Harry dropped his hand rubbing his scar and looked around warily, using his wand to "close his ears" and "close his ears" around him.
His forehead was a little red from his rubbing. Before Tom could care about Harry's scar, he heard Harry continue:
"This summer, just before the Quidditch World Cup, I saw it in my dreams. ”
At this point, Harry's face turned white, and even his red forehead looked like it was gradually fading from the blood.
"I never dared to tell anyone, not even Siris. But......" Harry glanced at Tom with a complicated expression, and Tom didn't have time to look at the emotions in his eyes, "I couldn't even tell if I was dreaming or if it was actually happening. Can you understand?"
Tom patted Harry's arm soothingly, but didn't speak.
He knew that at this time, Harry needed nothing more than an audience.
"I became a snake and wandered around a very dilapidated old house. There was a very thin young man in the old mansion - and Voldemort who had turned into a baby. An old Muggle man bumped into them, and in front of me, the man used this spell. ”
Harry's body trembled a little, and Tom gently patted him on the back to calm him down.
"Fortunately, I woke up at that time, but I will never forget that scene......"
Looking at the boy in front of him, who was not much older than himself, Tom's mood was a little heavy.
He grew up in a well-to-do life, and he hardly encountered anything to worry about, even "helping Harry stop Voldemort from stealing the Philosopher's Stone" from others. He had no idea what Harry was worried about.
No matter what people think of Harry, a boy with the aura of a "savior", in Tom's eyes, Harry is just an underage child like himself.
However, this child is burdened with the expectations of the entire wizarding world, and even if he has terrible nightmares, he does not dare to speak easily.
In addition to the distress, Tom also felt a deep powerlessness.
With his current abilities, he couldn't help Harry much.
After a moment of silence, Harry smiled with relief, "Thank you, Tom. I feel so much better now. ”
"Don't worry. Tom reassured, "It's just an anachronistic nightmare, don't take it seriously." If you have any troubles in the future, you can tell me about it, we are friends who have experienced life and death together!"
Tom slapped Harry on the shoulder, and Harry laughed, "Yes, our friendship has been tested by life and death. ”
That's right, the test of life and death.
Tom didn't know exactly what happened in the second and third years, but the experience of the first year fighting against Voldemort with Harry was confirmed by Harry - even if it wasn't something that happened yet for Tom, it was a testament to the unbreakable friendship between him and Harry.
However, after an impressive Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, and Harry's restless remarks, Tom felt that he should hurry up and make up for the missing three years.
However, Tom couldn't think of any other way to improve himself and make up for his first three years at Hogwarts, other than the way he had thought of using the Hour card earlier.
"Looks like the only way to ask Kubernetes. "But before that, it's time for me to call my mom and dad and my godfather." ”
After lunch, Tom uncharacteristically did not go to the library with Rahari.
On the one hand, Harry had just gone through a not-so-good Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, which aroused fear and uneasiness in his heart, and Tom wanted him to rest well, take a comfortable nap, and recuperate.
On the other hand, Tom found that no matter how many times he went to the library, it was better to find a professor to make up for his lessons.
Tom didn't think he had any talent for magic, and that self-education would only be half the effort.
Of course, after finding so many reasons, Tom can't wait to call his parents.
They returned to the Slytherin common room, but Rubelos was already lazily lying on the blanket in front of the fireplace.
Although Tom and Slytherin's classmates only nodded their heads to each other, Chromelos was particularly popular among the male Slytherin students - Malfoy, in particular, seemed to be particularly fond of Chromberolus.
For example, the area where Chromeulos is lying on his stomach right now is Malfoy's favorite place when the weather gets colder.
The blanket under Huberos' body was the "Rubelos Blanket" mail-ordered by the Owl of Malfort.
When Chromelos had enjoyed such treatment for the first time, Tom wanted to thank Malfoy.
But before he finished saying thank you, Malfoy gave a strange look and asked coldly, "I take care of Keru, what does it matter to you?"
This choked Tom so much that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Okay, Malfoy can do whatever he likes, and as long as he doesn't hurt Koruberos, Tom doesn't care.
Cruberos, who was lying in front of the fireplace, noticed that Tom and Harry were back, and instantly lifted his spirits, jumped up from the blanket, grinned, and ran over stupidly.
Tom rubbed Koruberos' head and rubbed the hair on his head into Harry's style.
Malfoy, who was sitting not far away, glanced up at Tom, quietly "tsked", turned sideways, and turned his back to Tom and them.
Tom didn't notice Malfoy's side at all, and walked unconscious to the bedroom.
Instead, Harry noticed, and he looked at Malfoy, then at Tom, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, and laughed.
Tom, who heard Harry's laughter, looked at Harry for some reason, and saw Harry laughing and waving his hand, only when Harry suddenly thought of something happy, he shrugged his shoulders and kept walking.
