The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

As soon as these words were spoken, Harry's psychological defense was broken. He obediently took off his invisibility cloak and stood in front of Professor Lockhart very obediently, waiting for his fate to be judged.

Looking at the two people with drooped heads in front of him, Tom didn't feel too embarrassed. Instead, he took the invisibility cloak from their hands and looked at it carefully.

[Invisibility Cloak (? Star): One of the Three Holy Artifacts of Death, which allows the user to become perfectly invisible. The person who collects all three Holy Artifacts will become the master of Death]

This is the first time that Tom has seen an item with a "?" star rating, which indicates that it is likely to have exceeded five stars. The prototype of the invisibility cloak appeared after I took it in my hand. It was a silver-gray cloak that shone like some sort of liquid. It feels strange to the touch, as if it is woven with water.

"Professor..." Harry wanted to defend himself, but Tom stretched out a hand and interrupted him.

"This cloak is awesome," he handed the Invisibility Cloak back to Harry, and then walked to the wall of the fireplace to think. Harry's mind moved slightly, and he suddenly realized that his situation seemed not as bad as he thought?

He quickly looked at Ron and felt that things could turn around, as long as Dumbledore didn't show up suddenly.

"Professor Dumbledore won't come," Tom suddenly spoke as if he could see what they were thinking, startling Ron.

"He has something to do today and has rushed to the Ministry of Magic."

This sentence caused Harry and Ron to think: Is something wrong? What's up? Probably it has something to do with that gold coin.

"How much of our conversation have you listened to? Were you here when we entered the Pensieve?"

Facing Professor Lockhart's question, both Harry and Ron lowered their heads, too embarrassed to respond. Not daring Lockhart to question him further, he closed his mouth again and thought about his own affairs.

Tom was thinking that as an ordinary little wizard with only a little prophecy talent and fancy skills, he could detect Harry's presence. How could Dumbledore not notice that Harry was hiding under the invisibility cloak? His office?

You know, this is Dumbledore's office. I'm afraid Dumbledore will know if there is an extra hair on the floor. Tom must be convinced that Dumbledore knows nothing about the fact that there are two more living people in his office. That's too unreasonable.

Now that Tom thought about the division of labor made by Dumbledore, Tom felt that all of this was done intentionally by Dumbledore and that he and Harry had arranged everything clearly.

As for the purpose of doing this, it is naturally someone's habit that has been committed again. Anyone with a little bit of rationality can realize that the mechanisms like the Happy Rush level that guard the Philosopher's Stone in the first grade are probably used to guard against Voldemort? Every daemon has a way to skip classes, and even a first-year wizard can crack it, let alone a combination of top students like the second-generation Dark Lord Garavanclaw. There's also Snape's potion level. Who knows if those poison bottles are filled with fat house happy water?

If you really want to protect the Sorcerer's Stone, put a magical animal that cannot be hypnotized in the first level. There is no need to play chess in Professor McGonagall's level. It would be much easier to just "move out the stone pier". If you do it, you will be hit on the head. burst.

Of all the levels, the most serious ones are actually the first and last levels, both of which have a strong sense of "authorization": the three-headed dog Lu Wei fell asleep when he heard the music, and the Mirror of Erised directly turned the magic stone into the magic stone. Put it in Harry's pocket, the powerful Dumbledore was actually driven away by a fake email...

If Dumbledore was so easy to deceive, would Grindelwald lose to him?

So much evidence ultimately points to one fact: everything in the first grade was arranged by Dumbledore. There may be some discrepancies in the details, but the main plot is definitely written by Dumbledore. He took this opportunity to train and test Harry a little. If he meets the requirements, Harry will continue to take on the important tasks and let him be his successor. If Harry failed, Dumbledore was confident enough to save him.

However, there was a slight deviation in the execution of the plan, and it was Tom who finally broke through. This caused Dumbledore's plan to train Harry to come to nothing.

But it doesn’t matter. There are many opportunities for experience. For example, it would be great to use this incident as an experience.

After figuring this out, Tom understood Dumbledore's thoughts. At the same time, Tom was also complaining in his heart, did I join the death-seeking trio? Because of my influence, Hermione didn't join, so I was required to fill in? Tom had thought that the new Iron Triangle would be Neville Longbottom, but he didn't expect that Harry and Ron would go on this adventure without Neville.

What Tom didn't know was that Neville was punished by Snape. He would spend the entire day today in the underground classroom, and even if Snape left midway, he would not dare to slack off.

Just when Harry and Ron were uneasy because of Lockhart's long silence, Professor Lockhart turned around and looked at them again.

"Okay, boys, do you all know the whole story?"

"Professor, we didn't mean to-" Harry hurriedly wanted to explain himself, but found that their behavior could not be explained at all: their actions were tracking, eavesdropping and illegal intrusion, no different from spies.

All I can say is that both of them are true Gryffindors.

"Will you use the Floo Network?" Tom suddenly interrupted Harry's weak defense.

Harry \u0026 Ron: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a

"It will work." Ron nodded weakly, and Harry also said guiltily that he knew how to use the Floo Network. Although his first experience of using it was not so good.

"That's great, you can use the floo network with me to go to Diagon Alley." Tom showed a bright smile to the two of them.

Harry, Ron:? !

This ending is really unexpected. They thought that "acquittal" was the best result, but they didn't expect that there would be such a world line where the professor took the initiative to take them out for adventure!

"In addition to being a professor, I am also an adventurer." Tom made a smile showing eight white teeth - he is now very experienced in squeezing out a Lockhart-like smile. "Through your actions, I I think you can be called newcomer adventurers. If newcomers want to take risks with seniors, seniors will not refuse."

"As for school rules, as long as you don't get caught, it's not a violation of school rules."

"Professor, are you really a Ravenclaw?" Ron was so shocked that he couldn't speak. In the end, he could only say this sentence, "You are the most Gryffindor in Hogwarts." people!"

Tom burst out laughing, "Some people thought I was a pure Slytherin before!"
