Chapter 45: Tumbling Snape
"Nothing. Professor Snape looked away, "You can leave." β
Tom blinked suspiciously, "Good night, Professor." β
With that, he left the Potions Office with Korubelos.
"Wait!"
Just as Tom was about to close the door to his office, Professor Snape spoke again.
If you have something to say, you can make it clear at one time!
Tom shouted in his heart, he was really scared to death by spitting and spitting like this.
"To make sure you don't go on a second night tour, I think it's necessary for me to monitor your whereabouts. Professor Snape strode over to Tom.
Why does that sound so awkward?
Tom turned his head to look at Professor Snape in confusion, but Professor Snape left him with a blank face.
Forget it.
Tom honestly acts as a little tail and walks dejectedly, perfectly portraying the image of a student who is caught after breaking the school rules.
On the way back to the dungeon, Tom also spotted Lady Loris poking her brain around a corner.
Tom, who was not very eyesighted, understood very clearly the little expression on Lady Loris's faceβthe slightly narrowed eyes seemed to say, "The old lady has worked so hard to cover you, and she will still be caught, it is too weak." β
It made Tom blush with shame.
"Click"
The footsteps of Tom and the others echoed in the hallway.
Professor Snape walked silently in front, Tom trotting behind.
Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the empty classroom next to me.
"Squeak-squeak!"
Professor Snape immediately stopped in alarm, drew his wand with a "brush", and quickly cast a bright light spell into the classroom.
"Bang!"
The classroom was empty, except for a few desks that had fallen to the ground from mid-air.
"Poof!"
Professor Snape's reaction was so quick that Tom didn't even have time to retract his feet, and the whole person slammed into Professor Snape's back, making a fleshy crash.
Professor Snape reached out and grabbed Tom, who had been knocked unconscious, while still watching his surroundings warily.
"-Bang-bang-"
The sound of tables smashing on the floor echoed through the empty castle, adding to the terrifying atmosphere.
Tom rubbed his reddened nose and glanced at Crouberos.
The "Shadow" card has appeared!
This couldn't have come at a better time.
Tom grimaced, and out of the corner of his eye, he peeked at Professor Snape, who was guarding him tightly.
"If I catch the student who doesn't sleep, I'm going to arrest him and punish him severely. β
Filch's scolding came from far and near.
Tom "snapped" and covered his face.
The "Shadow" card is happy if it wants to cause him a lot of trouble!
As soon as this happens, I'm afraid that not only Filch, but even the professors will know that he is an undisciplined, nocturnal student.
Doesn't this make it more difficult for him to seal the Kulo card for nothing?
Or is the "Shadow" card already so ghostly that it even helps arrange the retreat of its companions in the future?
Tyre!
Professor Snape was still looking around with a straight face, and Filch had already arrived.
"Hah, it's you!" Filch didn't hesitate to reach out and point at Tom, looking excited, "No wonder I'm going to see your pet tonight, it's really you out for a night walk!
Filch crackled and talked a lot, only to notice that Professor Snape, who was dressed in black, was also beside him.
He nodded and smiled, "So you caught this kid." I'm really tired of you coming out, just leave this kid to me, and I'll let him know the consequences of breaking the school rules. β
Tom was tempted to tell Filch that Professor Snape had already given the punishment.
But after all, he made his mistake first, and he couldn't figure out what his dean thought, so he stood aside silently, pretending that he was just an inconspicuous decoration in the corridor.
"This kid whose brain was eaten by a troll doesn't need you to worry about it yet. Professor Snape gave Filch a cold nod, "Keep patrolling." β
Filch reluctantly turned away, not forgetting to look back before leaving, as if expecting Professor Snape to change his mind.
Tom watched Filch leave, but Rubelos even politely waved his paw to say goodbye to Filch.
But under Professor Snape's cold, frozen gaze, Rubelos lowered his claws in a daze.
"Keep up. β
Seeing that there was no more movement around, Professor Snape took Tom and continued his walk to the dungeon.
Fortunately, the "Shadow" card did not appear again, and Tom obediently walked into the Slytherin common room under the "watch" of Professor Snape.
The door to the common room closed behind Tom, blocking Professor Snape's view.
Tom wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and fell limply on the sofa in the lounge.
"It's over...... Tom said weakly, "I don't know how Professor Snape will punish me during confinement...... I heard that Professor Snape was the harshest ......"
"Didn't everyone say that Professor Snape was extremely partial?" but Rubelos thought that Tom would not be punished in any substance, "You see, even if you were caught on the night tour, he still sent you back." And when the 'Shadow' card was messing with just now, he protected you as soon as possible. β
Tom grimaced and looked at Chromelos with a look of "you don't understand".
"So that's the scariest thing. Tom said, "The students of my own house, who have always been partial, have been caught violating the school rules by themselves, and although they don't say anything, they will secretly make sure that I don't dare to commit any more crimes." β
But Rubelos smiled crookedly, only thinking that Tom was unfounded.
But depending on Tom's state, it can't be persuaded, so Tom just thinks about it himself.
"I'm going to go to bed first. Rubelous opened his mouth and yawned heavily, "You can worry about it here." β
Tom jumped up from the couch and took three steps and two steps into his and Harry's bedroom.
Harry was lying on his bed, sleeping soundly.
Tom washed up lightly, changed into his pajamas and went to sleep.
A dreamless night.
The next morning, Tom was woken up by Harry.
"Wake up, if you don't get up, you'll be late for class. As soon as Harry saw Tom open his eyes, he ran into the bathroom in a panic.
The sound of "bang-la-la-la" sounded, Tom picked up his wand, looked at the time, and the sleepiness disappeared without a trace.
He immediately bounced out of bed.
I slept too late last night, and now I was woken up by Harry.
They probably won't be able to eat breakfast, and they don't know if Professor Flitwick's Charms class will be in time for a while.
