The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Tom returned to the Ravenclaw common room. After all, he still couldn't make it in time for the pudding for lunch.

After returning to the lounge, Tom looked around and found that there were quite a few little wizards in the lounge. They were either curled up in armchairs and reading books, or gathered together in twos and threes to chat.

Tom also found an armchair in a secluded corner and sat down, placing the crown in his hand on the table. As soon as he sat down, a cup of creamy-yellow pudding was placed in front of him, covered with a thin layer of caramel.

"Luckily, I caught up with the last cup of pudding. You didn't have your soul sucked away by the dementors. Professor McGonagall didn't take it seriously and care about your whereabouts. Today is really our lucky day." Hermione raised her eyebrows, looking sinister. said.

As if he didn't understand the tone of her words, Tom picked up the spoon and scooped out some pudding.

"Yeah, you're quite lucky." He put the pudding into his mouth, feeling the rich sweetness of the caramel and the milky flavor of the pudding intertwined in his mouth.

He put on the diadem and looked at Hermione.

Hermione Jane Granger, attribute bar, select!

【Bind? 】

【Bind! 】

The background of the second page of the property bar in Tom's system gradually changed to look like Hermione.

[Hermione Jane Granger

Birthday: September 19, 1979

Magic Items: Wand (vine wood, 10 inches, dragon's heart); Ravenclaw diadem

Measurements: Not unlocked

Foot length: not unlocked

Arch height: not unlocked

Thumb Height: Unlocked

...]

There's something wrong with this attribute column! Tom was keenly aware that there seemed to be a lot of strange things mixed in.

"It's not unlocked, which means I don't know yet..." He resisted the idea of ​​exploring it.

He looked back again and turned to Hermione's talent column.

【talent:

Charms: 6 (gifted)

Potions: 6 (gifted)

Divination: 0 (no talent)

Transfiguration: 6 (gifted)

Herbalism: 4 (Zhongrenzi)

…

Black Magic: 1 (Partner of Justice)]

Very good! Looking at Hermione's talent, Tom was a little surprised: This is simply a hexagonal warrior! The full score is 9 points, and the three main subjects of Potions, Transfiguration, and Charms actually have 6 points. Looking back at the beginning, the initial value of Charms seems to be only three points, and Transfiguration is not high. Only Potions has reached five points—— As for divination and black magic, let’s not talk about it.

One is full of tears, and the other is not something you can show off on the stage. Just like you can't shout on the streets of Germany that you are a failed art student, good at public speaking, and likes powerful oil-removing soap.

Hermione seemed to have only a mediocre talent in Herbology, but when Tom saw Hermione's talent in Divination, he almost laughed out loud.

"Sure enough, you have no talent for divination!" Tom tried hard to control his volume and ridiculed Hermione mercilessly.

Hermione:? ? ?

She was stunned when she saw Tom wearing that strange crown, and then said such a meaningless sentence.

"Look into my eyes and say it again." Hermione placed the wand on the table. What does it mean to have no talent for divination! Hermione wouldn't listen to that.

"I'm not talking nonsense...this is what this crown tells me - it can show the talents of wizards in various subjects!" Tom took the crown off his head and shook it at Hermione, but when he looked at Hermione's It seemed like she didn't believe it.

To Hermione, the credibility of this sentence was too low.

Seeing that Hermione didn't believe it, there was nothing Tom could do. He told the truth, but Hermione still didn't believe it, so she couldn't blame herself.

But although she didn't really believe Tom's words, Hermione was still very curious about Tom's crown.

This crown looks unusual, doesn’t it? She thought in her mind, maybe it might have some special function like Ravenclaw's diadem? And she still had a sense of luck: What if what Tom said was true? What if this crown really shows the differences in talent in different subjects? She also wanted to see her and Tom's talents!

Just like students are always curious about their own grades, Hermione also wanted to see what the value of her talent was.

"Here, let me wear it!" Thinking of this, Hermione reached out to Tom, wanting to take the crown from him and try to wear it.

Tom handed the crown to Hermione. He was happy to see Hermione want to wear the crown. Because Tom knew very well that being able to see the attribute column with specific values ​​was a credit to the system, but he also wanted to know if this crown had other functions besides being a symbol of status.

This attempt was made by no one but Hermione.

But Hermione's fantasy didn't happen at all. She originally thought that a dialog box would appear in front of her, with her talent values ​​such as Transfiguration and Potions written on it, but in fact, when she put on the crown, Tom in front of her turned into a ball of colorful colors.

"Liar!" Hermione took off the crown and threw it into Tom's arms.

"No talent at all!" Hermione rolled her eyes.

After hearing Hermione's description, Tom thought thoughtfully.

"Are each blob of color the same size?"

Hermione recalled for a moment that the sizes of each color she saw were different, but they were distinct and not mixed together.

"Well, in fact, these color groups should represent talent." Tom speculated.

"Oh?" Hermione raised her eyebrows, her heart beating faster than expected, "Then...can you tell me about my talent?"

She was a little embarrassed and felt like she was somewhat utilitarian.

Tom told her truthfully and told her about her attributes.

Hermione: (*￣︶￣)

It seems pretty good! Transfiguration, spells, and potions are all talents - but as for divination, there is no talent? So what? She doesn't need this kind of magical ability - aside from the fact, maybe Tom missed it?

"I told you, I'm not very talented, I'm just good at reading - you see, out of nine points, I only have six points in these subjects, which is a passing level."

Seeing Hermione "Versailles" on the side, Tom was also speechless: Is this a passing level? Can't you see the extraordinary talent in the brackets - oh, yes, she really can't see it.

"Eh? It seems you didn't teach Defense Against the Dark Arts? How talented am I in this area?" Hermione counted on her fingers and found that among the required courses, only Defense Against the Dark Arts was not listed. As for the history of magic, this course does not look at talent, but at memory.

"Ah, actually there is no such talent. The corresponding talent should be called the 'Dark Magic' talent." In Tom's system talent column, there is really no talent called "Dark Magic Defense", but "Dark Magic" The talent is there.

Before Hermione could say anything, Tom told her that her talent for the Dark Arts was negligible.

"That's good," Hermione said, not regretting that she had no talent in this area. "What's your Dark Arts talent?"

She asked on a whim.

Tom:…

Tom changed the subject and refused to answer. But the more he behaved like this, the more curious Hermione became.

"Is it 9 o'clock?" Hermione asked with a smile. She felt that the probability of this was low, and nine o'clock was a perfect score - which meant that this wizard must be very good at black magic. If you are good at black magic, you are a dark wizard, but how could Tom be a dark wizard?

"Almost..."

Hermione:? !

"Eight o'clock?!" she asked in disbelief.

"..."

Hermione looked at Tom, a little curious. She thought for a moment, then opened her eyes wide, "Is nine o'clock the maximum?"

Tom shook his head. Now Hermione suddenly understood Tom's talent for dark magic. She recalled that a large area of ​​Tom's body was black just now, and she couldn't help but become speechless.

"I'm wondering if I should go to Professor Dumbledore and ask you to go to Azkaban to gain enlightenment - I heard that many dark wizards have improved their level of dark magic after being imprisoned in prison." Hermione was filled with emotions. It was really " I know people but don’t know their hearts.” Ah, I didn’t expect that Tom, who we get along with every day, would have such a high talent for black magic.

Tom:…

Seeing the embarrassed look on Tom's face, Hermione laughed out loud, "Okay, I'm kidding you - how could I send you to Azkaban just because you are 'slightly talented' in dark magic?" ?You didn’t commit any crime.”

Hermione found that it was really fun to tease Tom every day - looking at his expression, it seemed that she really thought she was going to send him to Azkaban!

"Black magic is also magic. Although you are highly talented, you don't seem to have done much research in this area, so what does it matter?" Hermione's attitude suddenly changed, "Look, a knife can be used It can be used to cut vegetables or people, but no one will convict a knife. For another example, fake drugs can be used to make weapons, and can also be used to mine mountains and mines - which chemist is famous for being able to make fake drugs? Has he been sentenced? Nobel also established the Nobel Prize!"

After saying that, she patted Tom on the shoulder like a big sister, "Don't be burdened, young man!"

Tom was a little uneasy in his heart - he had not been exposed to black magic at all. The flame summoned in his [Fire Bodyguard] was Li Huo. This was standard black magic, and there was also the killing curse. He also meeting……

However, Hermione's series of actions made him laugh, and the trace of uneasiness in his heart was thrown away.

"Okay, but I will keep a close eye on you!" Hermione shook her little fist, "If you want to go astray, there's no way!"

The topic of black magic talent was thus revealed. After the two chatted for a few more words, the topic shifted to what happened to Tom today.

Hermione was still very curious about what happened between him and the dementors. She wondered what there was to talk about between Tom and these emotionless creatures of darkness.

"What? You said you made a deal with them?" Hermione exclaimed. The news she just heard was so shocking that she forgot to control the volume.

Fortunately, the lounge was so noisy that no one noticed them.

"Are you crazy? No, I think this really needs to be told to Professor Dumbledore-"

"He already knows."

Hermione: Ah this...

Hermione felt like her brain was on fire. From Hermione's point of view, making a deal with a dementor was undoubtedly extremely dangerous, and seeking skin from a tiger or setting yourself on fire were not enough to describe this behavior. But Professor Dumbledore actually already knew about this?

Doesn't he object?

Of course, Hermione knew that since Dumbledore already knew about this matter, Tom could still accomplish it, which meant that Professor Dumbledore's attitude towards this matter was at least tacit approval.

"This is very dangerous..." she murmured.

"Actually, it's okay. You'll understand if you communicate with the Dementors more. Their minds don't have so many twists and turns, and their moral values ​​are not quite the same as humans. But so far, the progress on my side is going very smoothly. .”

Hermione frowned and asked Tom seriously: "Have you ever thought about what will happen to humans if they eventually get out of control?"

"Currently, wizards still have the absolute upper hand in the face of dementors. The patron saint spell is very effective."

"But what if they breed more and more?" Hermione was thinking about the long-term problem. She discovered a flaw in Tom's plan: According to Tom's arrangement, the number of dementors will continue to increase. . What if their number exceeds the limit that the wizard can control?

"Dementors are not potatoes. If you cut them into pieces and bury them in the ground, they will sprout and grow. In fact, don't you think the magical world knows almost nothing about dementors? We don't know how they grow. Even if they are born, we don’t know how they reproduce, or even how to kill them. Can these be solved by just leaving them alone?”

Of course not. If the magical world chooses to turn a blind eye to the dementors' problem, a force will eventually find them and take advantage of them. This is what Voldemort and his Death Eaters did.

What they did was simpler and more crude than Tom, they directly loosened all the shackles on the Dementors, directly formed an alliance with the other party, and allowed them to devour Muggles at will.

Rather than being used by Death Eaters, it is better to hold this power in your hands in advance.

"Okay." Hermione still looked uneasy, "You must be careful, you are playing with fire now."

Tom also nodded seriously.

"Where's the Ravenclaw diadem? Do you have it with you?" Tom suddenly remembered something. He remembered that Hermione's mind seemed to be more active after wearing the crown. So, would her attributes change after wearing the crown?

"Wait a moment, I'll get it." Hermione did not carry the Ravenclaw diadem with her, but hid it in the dormitory. She jumped up from her chair, ran back to her dormitory and took the crown off.

Tom took out a small bag and pushed it to Hermione.

"Put it in a bag. It's better to carry such an important thing with you."

Hermione nodded slightly and put on the Ravenclaw diadem. Tom also put on his crown and looked towards Hermione.
