Harry nodded quickly.

It wasn't long before a figure flashed through the hallway where the classroom was, and Tom and the others were not found in the classroom.

Just as Tom breathed a sigh of relief, another tall figure quietly walked by.

Tom's expression became solemn.

He suddenly remembered that he now not only had the task of finding the "time" card and returning to his own time, but also faced the danger that Voldemort, the Dark Lord of the wizarding world, could enter the school at any time.

He turned to look at Harry, who was staring nervously down the hallway, afraid someone else would come by.

Tom still remembered that Harry had escaped from the powerful Dark Wizard once again this year by crushing the Death Eaters' attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone.

Philosopher's Stone.

Tom remembered the card he had picked up from the Chocolate Frog on the train, and it was no surprise that the Philosopher's Stone was the work of the great alchemists Nicol Lemay and Albus Dumbledore, and that would appear at Hogwarts.

With the Philosopher's Stone, Hogwarts must be the place the Death Eaters want to invade.

This meant that he had to find a way to get out of here and go back to his own time before the Death Eaters entered the school.

Although this was somewhat unpleasant to Harry, he believed that even in his absence, Harry would be able to defeat the Death Eaters and survive safely.

"Why do you think that a child your age now can survive at the hands of a powerful dark wizard?" said a small voice in Tom's mind.

Because Harry is the savior, the boy who never dies.

Tom said in his heart.

But inevitably, he himself felt that this reason was vulnerable.

But even if he stays here, he won't be able to help anything.

Tom thought.

"You can do more than you think. The voice said again.

No, no, no, I'm just a young wizard who has just entered the wizarding world from the Muggle world.

"Harry is just like you. The small voice sneered, "If you can't help, how can he survive?" ”

Tom was silent.

"It seems like no one is coming anymore. At this point, Harry whispered, "Shall we go?"

Tom nodded, and stood up with Harry.

"That was Professor Quirrell and Professor Snape just now, right?" said Harry, uncertainly.

"It's them. Tom replied.

"They don't look like they're on patrol. Harry said confusedly.

"Maybe the two professors are investigating something?"

"But don't you think it's like Professor Snape is following Professor Quirrell?"

"Maybe it's just because Professor Snape is curious about Professor Quirrell's behavior?"

"Maybe. ”

After confirming that there was no one in the hallway, they cautiously made their way back to the Slytherin common room.

There was still no one in the lounge.

Harry slumped in a chair, "I'm finally able to relax, it's been a really exciting night." ”

Tom was preoccupied.

He opened his notebook and looked at his plan on it.

Tom doesn't think he's a good-hearted person, and when anything happens, he weighs it before deciding whether to get involved.

The relationship between Harry and Voldemort is, to put it bluntly, a struggle between two different parties in the wizarding world, without great strength, and only relying on a moment of pity to get involved, which is something that only a fool can do.

"Click"

The entrance to the lounge was heard opening.

Tom and Harry jumped alertly, drew their wands, and watched the entrance warily.

A platinum-gold head appeared in front of them.

"Malfoy!" Harry shouted.

Tom elbowed him, "Don't be so loud, you'll wake everyone up." ”

Harry closed his mouth.

Malfoy's already pale face became even paler.

He pretended to be calm and straightened out his clothes, and prepared to go to the dormitory.

"Night Tour?" Harry whispered to Tom, "if we tell the professor about this, Malfoy won't trouble us for at least a while, right?"

Malfoy, who had sharp ears, stopped in his footsteps and sneered at them, "Aha, if I am locked up by the professor, then you will not be much better......!

"You're following us!" Harry was furious.

Tom slapped his forehead: Okay, don't say anyone now.

Rubelos twitched the corners of his mouth.

"Why don't we sit down and talk?" Tom suggested.

He glanced at Harry, "Let's talk calmly." ”

Malfoy snorted, flicked his robe, and sat down.

Tom sat down too.

Harry looked at Tom and then at Malfoy, and sat down indignantly.

"First of all, neither of us had any evidence of the other's night outings. Tom spoke.

"We've all seen it!" Harry pointed out, patting Tom on the back of his hand.

A look of jealousy flashed across Malfoy's face.

"Secondly, instead of finding fault with each other, I think we can still try to be relatively friendly with each other. ”

Harry and Malfoy crossed their arms and both snorted.

"Now, then, why don't we share our opinions?" asked Tom, smiling, "Malfoy, why are you following us?"

"A mudblooded wandering around with Potter in the middle of the night looks suspicious," Malfoy sneered, "I'm going to have to go along and check it out in order to keep Slytherin's house points from being denied out by someone who doesn't fit in." ”

"That's not the reason. Harry's face flushed with anger, "You're also a night swimmer, and you'll only be deducted more points." ”

"Like Harry said," Tom laughed again, "but I think I know what you think." Neither Harry nor I knew what mudbloods meant, but they weren't a friendly name. ”

Malfoy looked away indifferently.

"You seem to be targeting me more than you are to Harry. Tom said, "It's because Harry would rather be friends with me than with you, right?"

"Who cares?" Malfoy retorted immediately, "you don't feel too good about yourself. I just wasn't happy that a Mudblood had slipped into a Slytherin. ”

"Even so, I can let everyone know that Harry and I are the best. ”

"Don't think you're ...... in transfiguration class."

"What's wrong with the Transfiguration class?" asked Harry.

Malfoy shut up.

Tom was also confused.

He didn't do a good job of transfiguring in the Transfiguration class, but listening to Malfoy's statement, it seems that his performance has been initially recognized by the Slytherins?

Now, of course, he can put the issue aside.

"Every time I mention Harry, your temper seems to start to get vibrating. Tom looked at Malfoy with a see-through look, "You want to be friends with Harry, right?"

Harry looked at Tom in disbelief, as if Tom had just dropped a thunderbolt.

Malfoy's little face flushed. He stood up with his mouth open and tried to refute.

"Of course," Tom continued, "who wouldn't want to be friends with Harry for every little wizard?" ”
