The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

After getting the remains, Snape sat in the office chair and carefully studied the medicinal properties of the remains of the Sorcerer's Stone.

Tom was not in a hurry to leave. He found a chair and sat down, quietly watching Snape do his research. Snape didn't drive him away, just letting him watch from the side.

For a moment, the only sounds left in the office were the sound of turning pages and Snape moving various experimental equipment. After an unknown amount of time, Snape raised his head, with a hint of exhaustion in his eyes.

"The remains of the Sorcerer's Stone can no longer provide any vitality." Snape first told bad news, and then told even worse news: "From my knowledge, it cannot be added to my formula. The only use of this wreckage is probably to reversely deduce the method of making the Magic Stone."

Perhaps Tom could provide these remnants to alchemists around the world and hope that they could work backwards into figuring out how to make the Philosopher's Stone before Hermione came of age. But the uncertainty in doing so is too great - if nothing else, what if the alchemist who derived the formula regrets it and doesn't want to provide Hermione with the Philosopher's Stone?

Therefore, Tom would not use this method unless absolutely necessary.

Seeing the remains of the Philosopher's Stone could not help Snape, Tom was a little disappointed. He stood up, thanked Snape again and left his office.

After leaving the door, Tom looked up to the sky and sighed, and then comforted himself: at least there was good news - Snape had already figured out his own potion formula, and Hermione would be able to drink it soon.

Where to go next... There was a glint in Tom's eyes.

Principal's office!

Some things need to be discussed carefully!

The angry Tom withered as he walked down the four narrow stone stairs out of the underground classroom. Because he saw Hermione standing in the empty hall looking at him with a half-smile.

"Do you mean five hours right away? It's almost curfew now!" Hermione said angrily, "If we don't go back to the lounge, we will violate the school rules!"

Tom couldn't help but laugh.

It sounds like something Hermione would say!

As for the school rules, Tom felt that even if he violated hundreds of school rules at once, Dumbledore would not necessarily dare to punish him - how could this bad old man have the face to appear in front of him?

"You happen to be here too, so come with me somewhere. Without you, I'm afraid I might accidentally get into a fight with him." Tom decided to take Hermione with him to meet Dumbledore.

The reason is also very simple. If he met Dumbledore alone, the situation would probably become very heated.

He really didn't want to say anything more. The legendary most powerful wizard in the wizarding world, holding the Deathly Hallows Elder Wand in his hand, just couldn't defeat Voldemort head-on. What did it mean that he couldn't even protect Hermione? Play me? You really betrayed Hermione's trust in you!

When people encounter problems, they often subconsciously blame others. At this time, Tom completely put the blame for Hermione's injury on Dumbledore's head.

Hermione understood what Tom said, and now she couldn't refuse Tom's request.

"Calm down, the situation was very complicated -"

"Listen to Dumbledore's excuse first." Tom stopped Hermione and took her hand towards the principal's office.

After a while, Dumbledore saw the combination he least expected to see at the moment.

Looking at Tom and Hermione coming together, Dumbledore felt a little tight in his chest.

When Tom walked into Dumbledore's office, he directly pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat on it. Hermione felt embarrassed and sat down behind him.

"It looks like you already know everything, Yodel." Dumbledore took one look and figured out the situation.

"I'm sorry." Before Tom could speak, Dumbledore apologized to Tom in a very sincere manner, "I failed to protect Miss Granger."

"No! Professor!" Seeing what Dumbledore said, Hermione quickly stood up and explained for Dumbledore, "Tom, I volunteered!"

Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh again when he saw Hermione acting like this. He pointed his wand at his temple and picked out a silvery memory, then dropped the memory into the Pensieve.

After doing this, Dumbledore looked at Tom and said: "Tom, this is what happened that day. No matter what you want, I hope you can read this memory first."

Seeing Hermione protecting Dumbledore in this way, and considering Dumbledore's sincere attitude, Tom could only sigh quietly in the end, agreed to Dumbledore's request, and plunged into the pensieve.

After watching the whole story of that battle, Tom's resentment dissipated a lot. He was more or less responsible. If the magic props he made were more powerful, Hermione wouldn't be hurt.

"There is no need to worry about right and wrong." Tom looked at Dumbledore with very complicated eyes. He knew that blaming the guilty old man in front of him wouldn't do anything to help Hermione's injuries. To put it bluntly, even if he killed Dumbledore, he could not save Hermione's life.

And to say the least, isn't the culprit Voldemort? What's the point of taking it out on Dumbledore?

Tom silently made a note for Voldemort in the little notebook in his heart. In the past, Voldemort didn't provoke him much, but he always made trouble to protect himself. But it was different from now on. There was a blood debt between Voldemort and him.

Seeing that Tom's attitude softened, Dumbledore also breathed a sigh of relief. His worst fears had not happened, and he felt that Miss Granger must have made great efforts to comfort the child Tom.

Dumbledore felt a flash of joy in his heart.

"Professor Dumbledore, we need to find a way to solve the problem - I just talked to Professor Snape, and he already has a clue about the potion." Tom no longer struggled with the division of responsibilities, and he began to discuss the matter with Dumbledore. Allergy treatment options.

He had already thought of a countermeasure before coming to Dumbledore's office. He felt that there was someone who could help him. When modern wizards can't solve the problem, it's better to turn your attention to the ancient bosses. The Pharaoh King Menes may be able to help.

"Professor Dumbledore, Hermione and I are probably going to have to take a break from school for a while, and I want to take her out." Tom leaned on the back of the chair and said in an unquestionable tone.

To Dumbledore, it sounded more like Tom planned to spend the last days of his life with Hermione.

He agreed without thinking. In Dumbledore's opinion, he should give the two of them as much personal space as possible.

Hermione, who was sitting next to her, immediately understood what Tom meant. Her eyes widened: Why didn't she think of Him?

Tom rolled his eyes.
