Chapter 60: The Theft of the Vault

On the wall of one side of the corridor, there are no portraits except for a few unlit ones.

On the other wall was a closed window, and a faint light was shining through the slightly dirty glass on the window.

Without sufficient light, the entire corridor was dim.

There seemed to be a door at the end of the hallway, but Tom couldn't really see it.

He looked left and right, and no one noticed what was going on here.

So, driven by curiosity, Tom hunched over and tiptoed towards the door.

It's close, it's close.

The light was so weak that Tom had almost walked to the door before he could see it.

It was a very ordinary wooden door, with no patterns on it - it was even more inconspicuous than a classroom door.

There doesn't seem to be any danger in this.

Tom cautiously took another step forward.

Nothing happened.

Tom looked back at Koruberos, who was smiling and looking at Tom with his eyes.

Tom doesn't pay as much attention to his demeanor as most Slytherins, but he also pays some attention to his image.

Like now, hunched over the waist and with a wary face on his face, it looks really funny.

"Tick-woo~"

Just as Tom was wondering, he heard something strange.

Tom and Corubelos looked at each other.

"Did you hear anything?" asked Tom in a whisper.

But Rubelos' ears were folded back and the other was shaking.

"Whew-"

Now they heard it clearly.

The voice was low and terrifying, like the roar of some fierce beast in its throat before it pounced on its prey.

Tom was so agitated that he couldn't help but hug Chromelos' neck.

"Shhhh ā€

Tom quickly let go of his hands, and his upper and lower teeth creaked: "Yes...... What is it?"

But Rubelos pulled Tom away from the door.

"It's something inside the door. "It doesn't feel like magic, but listening to the sound, it doesn't seem like it's easy to deal with." It's better for us to be cautious. ā€

Tom nodded hurriedly, and ran away from the danger zone with trepidation.

Shortly after he left, a tall figure flashed in.

"Whew!"

A dull voice came from behind the closed door.

......

In the afternoon, Tom and Harry were working together in the Slytherin common room to do their homework.

"I thought you wouldn't forget what homework was. Harry unfolded the parchment and said to Tom, "It's strange that you've been urging me to finish my homework all this week, and now you've forgotten what else you haven't done." ā€

Tom chuckled, trying to divert the conversation.

"I don't know if it's my delusion," Harry spread out the reference book and glanced Tom up and down, "but I haven't seen you for a day, have you grown taller?"

"Really?" said Tom, who looked extremely happy when he heard this, and his face burst into laughter, "I have really grown taller? That's great!"

Tom has always felt that he has grown a lot taller, but he thinks that he thinks that others have said this, which means that he has really grown a lot taller-

Malfoy, who had been teased by the fourth-year Malfoy for being short, hehe, now he can get his revenge back.

Tom couldn't help but puff out his chest and look triumphantly at Malfoy not far away.

Malfoy immediately noticed Tom's gaze, turned his head with a "brush", and looked back with a vicious gaze.

Not only was Tom not afraid, but he even gave Malfoy a malicious smile in his eyes.

Harry looked at Tom, who suddenly became happy and made eye contact with Malfoy, and scratched his hair suspiciously.

Fortunately, after more than two hours, they still finished their homework.

Tom stuffed his homework into his bag and took it back to his bedroom.

He walked over to his desk and suddenly found that all the things he had from first grade were still in place, even the brick-like mobile phone that was no longer usable was sitting on the table.

"Time is amazing!" Tom exclaimed.

At the same time, he also developed a strong curiosity about the person of Kulo Reed - he also clearly remembered that after the "Elimination" card was sealed, the vanished Moody returned to Hogwarts, and Dumbledore had said at that time that the person who could do that must be a powerful wizard who is proficient in time magic.

But at that time, it was clearly just a prank made by the "elimination" card.

Now, he relied on the "time" card to adjust the time period he was in, and easily returned from the fourth grade to the first grade, such a long time span, although there are coincidences in it, but it is not something that ordinary wizards can do at will.

However, he did it with the "time" card.

It's not that Tom thinks he's great, it's that he thinks Kuro Reed, who created the Currot card, is amazing.

Tom hadn't learned much about the principles of magic yet, but he knew that turning a complex magic into a card, and being able to transform it into different forms according to the user's consciousness and play different roles in different scenes, was a major discovery in the wizarding world.

Thinking of this, Tom couldn't help but touch the Kuro cards in his pocket.

The Kurrots seemed to feel the emotion coming from Tom's fingertips, and shimmered in his pocket, but Tom didn't notice it.

......

"Ahh

Tom thought hard - it was already a memory for him two months ago.

"I was invited to Hagrid," Harry said happily, standing himself from Tom's arms, then taking two steps back, "and you're right, Hagrid really cares about me. Even if I got to Slytherin, which he didn't like the most, he was just worried that I wasn't used to it. ā€

"And how did you answer?"

"Of course I'm used to it! Slytherin wasn't as bad as Hagrid thought. And when I said that Professor Snape seemed to be targeting me, Hagrid had a lot of nice things to say about Professor Snape!"

"Really?" said Tom a little surprised, "but Hagrid hated Slytherin before, so how could he speak for Professor Snape, who is also a Slytherin?"

"I don't know. Harry shook his head in confusion, "But I don't really blame Professor Snape for anything, it's—"

"I understand, I understand. Tom said quickly.

Harry smiled, but soon, he put it away.
