Chapter 13 When I see you, I hate you
Fortunately, at this time, Rubelos was in the right place, and his two front paws stepped forward, and his fluffy body fell to the side, rolling on the spot, and turning his belly up.
"Looks like Koru likes you very much!" Tom was amused, it was the first time he had seen Korubellos so cute.
"Really?" Harry immediately turned his head and looked at Korubelos who was selling cuteness, and the smile on his face became brighter, "That's great. Is Keru a tiger? β
"No, Koru is just a cat, but he has become so big because he is too greedy. Tom hurriedly explained.
He saw that the admission letter said that students could only bring cats, toads or owls to school as pets.
Harry smiled slightly, "That looks pretty good, too." So Kru is your pet? My pet is Hedwig from Hagrid. β
Harry seemed to relax a lot, reaching over to Hedwig's cage to tease her.
"Hagrid?" asked Tom, puzzled, "is he your friend?"
"Yes. Harry replied as he played with Hedwig, "It's still a little strange to think about it nowβit wasn't until a month ago that I was a wizard and Hagrid was the one who told me all this. β
What the?
Tom was completely stunned, and even Hubelos froze.
What does that mean? Isn't Harry a fourth-year student now? No matter how outrageous, he must have known his wizarding identity three years ago, right?
Just then, the door to the "click" compartment was pulled open again.
One of the redhead kids Tom had seen before appeared in the doorway of the cubicle.
"There's a ...... here," the red-haired boy said when he saw two people in the cubicle staring straight at him.
He "brushed" the door open, and a voice sounded in the aisle: "Sorry. β
Presumably it was also the red-haired boy's interruption that brought Tom back to his senses from the shock.
"I didn't know I was a wizard until I received the letter. Tom said cautiously, looking at Harry without a trace, "So this is your first year at Hogwarts?"
Harry thought Tom was asking a strange question, but he didn't think much of it, just nodded.
What's going on here?
Tom was completely confused.
He looked at Kouberos as if begging for help, but Koubelos seemed to be too immersed in being a pet to ignore him.
"Hmm......"
Tom's brain teaser was spinning, and Rubelos, who often dropped his chains, still didn't have to count on it, he still had to rely on himself to get some more useful information from Harry.
"Actually, I'm still very nervous. "I sometimes wonder if Hogwarts is mistaken, but I'm not the wizard they're looking for - by the way, do you know how Hogwarts is sorted?"
Harry withdrew the finger he was teasing Hedwig, his face turning a little pale, "I thought I was the only one who had such thoughts. β
He smiled sheepishly, then lowered his head and raised his hand to grab his hair.
"But I don't know how the school is divided. β
"It's really scary. Tom said, "Hmm...... Regardless of the sorting process, have you ever wondered which house you will be placed in?"
Among the wizarding books that Tom and Corubelos read during the summer vacation, he knew the introduction of Harry Potter by heart.
After all, it was a boy who was not a few years older than himself, and Tom thought that he could get close to this savior if he had the chance.
However, it now seems that the contents that Tom knows so well are going to be used to confirm Tom's situation.
"I don't know. Harry's eyebrows furrowed in concern, "I guess, as long as it's not Slytherin." β
Tom was surprised, if Harry was thinking that way now, how did he end up in Slytherin?
Or is it that he and Korubelos have entered a parallel universe?
In normal times, Tom might be excited about it, but at this point he only has worries in his mind.
"Why can't it be Slytherin?" said Tom, trying to figure out why.
Hagrid said that Slytherin were all bad species, the most famous of which was Lord Voldemort. Harry scratched at his hair again.
"But Slytherin is also part of Hogwarts!" said Tom, "I talked to my mom and dad about this during the summer, and they said that just because there was a Voldemort in Slytherin doesn't mean that Slytherin is bad." β
Seeing that Harry was a little confused, Tom explained, "Just like to Muggles, wizards are evil. Does the fact that some bad wizards mean that all wizards are bad? Wizards also think Muggles are weak and despicable!"
Harry didn't seem to understand.
"Goo-"
A huge belly roar rang out, and Harry blushed and hugged his belly.
Tom looked at the time: "It's already noon." Oops! I forgot to bring lunch!"
Tom patted his head in annoyance and looked at Korubelos apoloxically.
I didn't eat lunch, so I passed it quite well. But Rubelos is expected to have a hard time.
Never since he met Korubelos had ever seen Korubelos miss a meal.
Harry's face was less red, and there was silence in the compartment, except for the sound of "cooing" one after another.
The two looked at each other awkwardly, and then couldn't help but laugh together.
But Rubelos finally withdrew from his "mysterious" state, and looked at Tom bably.
At this moment, footsteps sounded in the walkway.
A smiling woman pushes a cart full of food to open the door to the compartment.
"Do you want to buy something, kids?"
Harry and Tom jumped together for joy, and the two boys bought some of each food.
But Rubelos flicked his tail excitedly and gestured to Tom with his frantically eyes.
Tom took one or two of each food and piled it in front of Corubelos, and he and Harry ate happily.
"This frog moves!" said Harry in amazement as he held the chocolate frog, "It's not a real frog, is it?"
Tom took a piece of it and looked at it closely: "Probably not, it says it's made of chocolate - let me try it." β
He tore open the package, and the chocolate frog jumped out with a "croak" and fled in all directions.
Tom and Harry scramble to grab it, but Hubelos opens his mouth and the chocolate frog jumps into Kouroberos' mouth.
Tom watched as Chromelos licked his lips with a reverence, then turned back to Harry and said, "It's not really a frog. β
Then they discussed the magic of moving cards, tried various flavors of Bibi multi-flavored beans, solved a few pumpkin pies, and spread out on their seats with their round bellies.
