The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

In the blink of an eye, it has been two weeks since school started. Professor Lupine's reputation has completely changed, and the young wizards' perception of this professor has changed a lot. In fact, their bad first impression of Professor Lupine mainly came from his shabby clothes and sub-healthy complexion. This kind of disgust is very superficial. The real disgust depends on our Professor Snape. The vast majority of students have a dislike for Professor Snape that is engraved in their bones.

This kind of superficial aversion can be washed away with just a vivid lesson, and Lupine just has this ability. After the Boggart escaped that day, Lupine immediately found the house elves at Hogwarts and asked them not to expel the Boggart in a hurry after finding him in the castle, but to leave him as a teaching aid. .

This is much easier than searching classrooms and rooms. You know, the house elves at Hogwarts are the creatures most familiar with this castle. There are too many secrets hidden in Hogwarts Castle, and a student can only stay here for seven years, which is not enough time for them to explore. Even the Marauders and the Weasley twins couldn't completely figure out all the secrets of the castle in seven years - even Dumbledore, who lived for more than a hundred years and stayed in Hogwarts Castle for most of his life. Lido dare not say that he fully understands this castle.

But house elves are different.

The duties of the house elves are to provide three meals a day, wash the clothes of teachers and students, and maintain the hygiene of the castle. This means that they spend a lot of time every day wandering around the castle, chasing away some dangerous magical animals. Then their probability of finding Boggart is much higher than Lupin.

Sure enough, Lupine found the house elf before lunch and got a brand new Boggart before class in the afternoon, without delaying the teaching course at all.

Nothing major happened in the past two weeks. Malfoy only showed up again in class on Thursday. His right arm was bandaged and still hanging with a strap! It was outrageous. I really don't know how he persuaded Madam Pomfrey to dress him in such an outfit. Malfoy also took the opportunity to use this as an excuse to avoid working in Potions class and fish openly. He asked Ron of Gryffindor to cut the roots of daisies for him and Harry to peel his figs. He also pretended to be concerned about Hagrid's condition, which made Harry so angry that he chopped a caterpillar into pulp.

But these little frictions in Potions class had nothing to do with Tom. He has been extremely busy in the past two weeks. He has been calculating the key points of time travel every day. At the same time, he has to take notes for more than ten classes and complete homework assigned by teachers in various subjects. He felt as if he had become an alarm clock, spinning continuously every day.

But Sunday of the third week was a special day, that day was September 19th, which was Hermione's birthday. Tom had been secretly preparing for Hermione's birthday.

He had bought Hermione a birthday present in Diagon Alley before, and then exchanged it for another item at the International Wizards Guild. Tom believed that the combination of the two items would make the perfect birthday gift.

What to give your girlfriend for her birthday? This is a problem that has troubled straight men for many years. For Tom, the birthday gift is of course an anklet! He had bought a gold anklet in Diagon Alley before. There was a small bell on the thin chain. It made a sound every time he walked. Every time he took a step, the bell would ring softly. This is really great!

Of course, he also modified the little bell. Previously at the Wizards Guild, he overdrawn his points to exchange for a guide to making a looking glass, and then made the silver bell into a miniature looking glass. If anyone approached Hermione with malicious intent, the bell would ring.

This is a rare treasure, and it took Tom two full weeks to carve it.

Tom carefully picked up the silver bell with runes engraved on it.

[Heart Bell (Three Stars): A bell that does not ring normally. It will ring only when a person approaches the holder with malicious intentions.

Note: If the bell rings while she is lying naked in front of you, how should you respond? 】

"It's done!" Tom was delighted. As for the bell's remarks, he naturally ignored it. What he is more concerned about is: How do you think this bell works?

He thought hard for a while and suddenly had a bold idea. Tom raised his butt and leaned his upper body under the bed, pretending that he was looking for something under the bed. Soon Tom's roommates Michael Corner and Anthony Goldstein walked in.

"...Have you heard that in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Neville of Gryffindor made the Boggart-turned-Professor Snape wear women's clothing?"

"Oh, your courage is commendable! No wonder Snape has always been in a bad mood recently. Hey, let me tell you, he has been very motorcycle lately -" Anthony Goldstein deliberately used a thick local accent to speak to Michael, It made him laugh.

The two of them suddenly stopped talking, because as soon as they opened the door of the dormitory, they saw a butt hanging out of the bed, pouting. The owner of the butt seemed to be looking for something intently, not paying attention to his head and buttocks. Sensing the approach of the two men.

Michael gave Anthony a wink. He had just judged that the owner of the butt should be their mysterious classmate Tom Yoder. The two looked at each other and smiled maliciously.

They tiptoed closer to Tom's butt, cupped their hands into fists, and stretched out their index and middle fingers together. The two of them decided to give their friend a Thousand-Year Kill to greet him.

When they came behind Tom, the two of them vaguely heard the sound of the bell, but they didn't take it to heart, but gathered their strength - impact!

Boom! Boom!

Their fingers were firmly poking at the edge of the bed. At the critical moment, Tom retracted his lower body under the bed, and then he heard two screams of pain. He walked out from under the bed and gave the two of them a bright smile.

"Hey, good afternoon, Michael, Anthony! Why do you two look so bad?"

With their fingers linked to their hearts, the two people's faces darkened as their index and middle fingers were pressed against the edge of the bed. However, they were in so much pain that they had no energy to answer Tom's questions. They could only watch Tom humming a tune and leaving with the bell in his hand.

"Damn it...what's going on?" Michael was sweating profusely in pain, "What a coincidence!"

"Is it really a coincidence? Maybe Tom has heard our voices a long time ago?" Anthony's hand was gentler, so it was not as painful as Michael's. At this time, his pain had gradually subsided, allowing him to calm down and think about the problem. .

Unlike the two white mice, Tom was in a very good mood. Just under the bed, his bell successfully detected the "malice" of the two people, allowing him to successfully avoid trouble.

Now, the gift for Hermione is ready.
