"Ahem......" Rubelos explained as he coughed, "No, no...... Cough...... I choked on myself and choked ......."

Are you sure?

Tom looked at Korubelos with suspicion: Is this choking on saliva?

But Rubellos coughed and dodged Tom's gaze weakly.

Looking at Tom's current situation, even shouting a spell seems to have used the strength of milk, and I'm afraid it's unlikely that he wants to seal the "Shadow" card today.

But now is not the time to hit Tom, it is better to keep him confident.

"Whoosh-"

The students walking on the stairs of the castle felt as if something was flying under their feet, and tried to look closely, but they saw nothing.

By the black lake, Tom, who was still a little depressed, seemed to feel a little unusual.

He followed his inner feeling and quickly looked in the direction of the castle.

A small dark shadow was speeding down the grass towards him.

Although the weather at Hogwarts was not sunny today, it was still very conspicuous that a fast-moving black shadow suddenly appeared on a green meadow.

"That'...... Is that a 'shadow' card?"

Tom nudged Chromelos, stuttering a little.

But Rubelos hadn't even needed to be reminded by Tom to notice that the dark shadow was approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye, as Professor Flitwick had said.

"Ready!" Rubelos began to shout as well, "It's the 'Shadow' card, hurry, it's here!"

In just a few words, the dark shadow was in front of them.

Tom was stunned for a moment, and only then did he remember to raise the bird's head wand after being reminded by Krubelos.

The black shadow that had been lying on the ground stopped moving and slowly rose from the ground, like a piece of paper suddenly taking on a three-dimensional shape.

"It's coming out of shape!"

I saw that the black shadow standing up gradually condensed into a human figure, like a person covered in a black robe.

Perhaps it was the first time he saw such a scene, and Tom lost his usual calm and composure, and became a little scrambling.

"Restore your original ...... Ahh

Tom held his bird's head wand and aimed it at Shadow, and he even smiled happily when he thought he would be able to seal the Shadow card immediately.

However, "Shadow" is worthy of being the "naughty" Kuro card evaluated by Krubelos, and taking advantage of the moment when Tom is relaxed, his body shakes and burrows into the shadow of the grass on the ground.

"Chase! Don't let it run!" said Rubellos, who was so anxious that he stamped his foot, eager to grab his wand and seal the "Shadow" card directly.

"Humph!" Tom let out a loud snort, and the silver basswood wand in his right hand waved again, "I'm the one with two wands!"

It was probably the previous successful summoning of "Shadow" that boosted Tom's confidence.

The "Shadow" card had just taken refuge in the shadows, and was immediately lured out by Tom's summoning spell.

"I'm not going to let you run away again this time. ”

As soon as the "Shadow" card was drawn from the shadow, Tom changed to the bird's head wand in his left hand, making the two wands seamless.

"Restore your original form, Kuro!"

The poor "Shadow" card was able to show its original form, and he had to start trying to resist the power of the seal.

However, Tom's actions the night before had already annoyed Tom, so where could Shadow be freed from his shackles and continue to get away?

Tom gritted his wand almost through gritted teeth, as if the strength of the wand would increase as long as he held it, the power of the "shadow" card would increase.

Rubelos flicked his tail, "Don't worry, Tom. As long as you want to seal the Kuro card with a strong enough intention, it can't escape. ”

Tom stared at the Kuro card that was gradually taking shape at the tip of the bird's head wand and nodded briefly.

After a while, a Kulo card with "Shadow" written on it floated into Tom's hand.

Tom turned the Bird's Head wand back into the key, hung it around his neck, took a pen from his pocket, and wrote his name on the "Shadow" card.

"After so long, I finally got you. Tom blew the ink on the Kuro card and smiled happily.

"Goo~"

The roar of his stomach rang out, destroying Tom's newly rising momentum.

"It's time to eat. Krubelos stretched, "Your stomach is already protesting." ”

Tom grinned, pocketed the Korot cards, and walked briskly back to the castle.

In order to take care of the different end times of different grades, lunch time at Hogwarts is very long.

When Tom arrived at the auditorium, there was a commotion in the auditorium, and many of the students were talking loudly while eating.

Tom listened with a long ear, and found that the conversation was still about the upcoming Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

Tom sat down in his place, and many of the fourth-year Slytherins had finished their lunch and left, leaving only a few who were still slowly eating their desserts.

Among the fourth-year Slytherins who had not yet left, there was Malfoy.

His plate was empty, except for the cup in his hand with some pumpkin juice.

"It's a real rarity. As Tom served himself a portion of mashed potatoes, Malfoy tapped the cup in his hand with a fork, "The little Cooper, who doesn't grow tall, didn't even act with your big brother Potter, could it be that you have some little pink secret and don't want your big brother to know?"

Tom took an empty tray and filled Chromelos with a few pieces of cheesecake, ignoring Malfoy's words.

"Hey, Cooper!" Seeing that Tom didn't react to his words, Malfoy put down his cup and reached out to shake it up and down in front of Tom's eyes, "I'm talking to you!"

Tom gave Malfoy a blank look, indicating that he didn't want to pay attention to him now, and then lowered his head and gulped down his lunch.

Maybe Tom was so hungry that he thought his lunch was delicious.

It would have been better if Malfoy hadn't been muttering all the time.

Tom thought and shoved in another mouthful of mashed potatoes.

"Cooper!" Malfoy was a little irritable when he saw that Tom had been ignoring him.

He lifted his chin to Theodore Nott, who was sitting next to Tom, and Theodore Nott understood, reaching out and giving Tom a gentle nudge.

Tom glanced at Noether strangely, and Noether motioned to Tom with his eyes: "Give me some face, and take care of that big young master." ”

Tom turned his head helplessly: "What are you doing?"

Malfoy's brow furrowed, "Did you know your Harry was going to be abducted?"

Tom looked dazed: "Harry?"

"Don't you know?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow, the corners of his mouth hooked, and leaned back in his chair relaxedly, "That Ravenclaw Seeker bewildered Potter, you don't know?"

It's no wonder that Harry's face turned red when he heard about love lately.

Tom nodded, it turned out that it was time for the spring heart to sprout.
