The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 289 Cold dog food slapped on my face

The cupboard door popped open, and the little wizards present held their breaths. Tom was also curious: What is Hermione's biggest fear? Professor McGonagall rushed out with a zero-score exam paper and told her that she failed the exam?

After opening the cabinet door, this question has an answer.

A figure weakly fell out of the cabinet, bringing up a cloud of dust.

In the dust, Hermione recognized the figure as Tom Yoder.

At this time, Tom's body was covered with fine sand, as if he had just been dug out of the sand. The yellow fine sand covered the surface of his body like a yellow eggshell. The yellow sand plopped down, and Tom seemed to burst out of an eggshell. But the breaking of the shell at this time brings withering and death.

Tom was like a doll that had been sleeping in the ruins for thousands of years, his body covered with gravel. His skin lost its luster and his hair became dull and yellow. But it seemed that he still had the last vestige of life left. His palms trembled twice, and he took out a withered white rose from his sleeve and stuffed it into Hermione's hand.

"Hermione...Hermione..."

Hermione was stunned. She felt as if her spine had been pulled away. She collapsed directly on the ground and stretched her hands towards Tom's lifeless face. At this time, a small book that looked like a diary fell from Tom's body, attracting Hermione's attention.

She couldn't help but pick up the book, opened it and looked through the contents - it turned out to be Tom's diary.

"30.07.91, I met a cute girl today and she handed me a bag of delicious cakes."

"On 31.07.91, that girl actually scared me when I was fishing. Fortunately, the fish didn't run away, and she was stung by the fish - she deserved it, but her smile was really pretty."

"01.08.91, I went shopping in Diagon Alley with her. I bought textbooks, school uniforms, and wands with her. I even won a grand prize..."

Hermione looked at the diary in her hand, and beautiful memories came flooding back. When she saw Tom's shriveled face, all the good things turned into sadness... It wasn't until Tom coughed lightly in the distance that she felt like As if waking up from a dream, I realized that this was a false illusion.

Hermione was a little upset: How could she fall for such a cheap trick and be deceived by an impostor? It was clear that the real Tom was standing next to her a minute ago, but when she saw his "corpse", she was still the same. Confused.

"Funny!"

With a crack like a whip, the shriveled corpse on the ground suddenly became plump, like dried fungus soaked in water, and its skin regained its luster. The desert robe on its body also quickly changed, turning into a Traditional Scottish clothing: The lower body is a knee-length tartan skirt with black background and red patches. The upper body is wearing a matching vest and a tweed jacket, and a pair of long knitted thick socks on the feet. The skirt is fastened with a wide leather belt, under which hangs a large fanny pack.

"Tom" suddenly jumped up, and everyone saw that he actually had a long bow on his back, a bagpipe in his hand, and a broad sword at his waist.

In full view of everyone, "Tom" played cheerful music on the bagpipe and danced a Kelly dance at the same time.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Looking at his funny appearance, Tom could only force a smile. Fortunately, the Boggart was confused by the laughter and quickly hid in the closet, ending Tom's embarrassment.

Hermione ran back all the way, her face slightly hot, and she felt a little embarrassed, after all, she seemed to have exposed something in front of the whole class. However, the classmates around him didn't seem to see any clues. Even Professor Lu Ping just said lightly: fear of corpses is a very normal behavior.

The Tom who had just been transformed into a Boggart had become shriveled and out of shape due to dehydration, and was still covered in fine sand. Only Hermione could identify his identity at a close distance. The other students standing far away could only After taking a quick look, no one thought much about it. They just thought that the costumes and dance that Hermione came up with in the end were very interesting.

Perhaps among the many people, the only ones who saw the clues were two and a half: Tom and Sue Lee. The other half was Professor Lupine, who was closer than the other little wizards.

Sue Li narrowed her eyes: The figure just now looked a bit like Tom, and the one who got up to dance at the end was also Tom Yoder. So what Hermione was afraid of was not actually the corpse, but the corpse of Tom Yoder? She had a guess in her mind that was 90% sure.

Thinking of this, Su Li instantly felt as if a big bag of dog food had been slapped on his face. The cold dog food hit his face, making him eighty full in one go.

Everyone was laughing and very happy, but Tom felt a little guilty. After Hermione stood firm, he took Hermione's hand under the robe while others were not paying attention.

"Don't be afraid, I'm always here," he said softly. The wide cuffs of the wizard's robe well concealed the small movements of the two people. No one noticed that the two people's hands were holding together. "And don't forget, I can transform into a phoenix and I am immortal."

Tom comforted Hermione, and Hermione lowered her head, hummed, and held Tom's hand tighter. But listening to Tom's words, a trace of doubt flashed in her mind: Could he really be immortal? Is there no price for Phoenix's resurrection?

"You seemed to be reading a notebook just now. What was written in that notebook?" Tom asked a question that he was more concerned about.

"Ah?" Hermione raised her head in panic, but quickly calmed down, "A diary, your diary."

Tom:!

"Whoever writes a diary... I never write a diary..." Tom complained weakly, but he was also more curious about the contents of the diary, "What was written in the diary?"

Hermione rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's all just imaginary stuff anyway, so don't mention it."

Tom refused to let it go and kept tickling Hermione's palm with his index finger.

"Just tell me~" He turned on the harassment mode.

Hermione was so annoyed that she stared angrily at her boyfriend next to her, and finally lowered her voice and said, "Okay, if you want to know, I'll tell you. It's all about you bullying me. I was so angry when I saw it. , I can’t wait to beat that Boggart!”

Tom:…

At this time, Professor Lupine was also ready to call the next person on. His eyes wandered among the crowd, and finally locked on one person. Lu Ping also saw the scene just now, so he came up with a bold idea.

You know, Lupine was once one of the four predators, and he was a master who just watched the excitement and didn't take it too seriously. Although he hid this emotion skillfully as an adult, he was still the playful and playful boy at his core.

So he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Yodele, come on!"
