The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

In the end, Hermione rejected Tom's suggestion. She didn't want to punish someone for something that didn't happen. Tom had no choice but to accept Hermione's idea.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but in the days to come, you have to be inseparable from me so that I can protect you properly." He said sternly.

Hermione: ...

"Even sleeping together at night?" She looked at Tom with a half-smile, her eyes like a lake of spring water.

Tom coughed twice and said that this was all to ensure your safety, Hermione, don't think too much about it.

"In order to protect me, you must take safety measures~" Hermione drew a circle on Tom's belly with her fingertips, and patted his butt with her other hand.

"Okay, okay!" Tom knocked away Hermione's claws with some embarrassment.

The two of them didn't take this matter too seriously and returned to Hogwarts Castle hand in hand.

As night falls, the little wizards who have worked all day or all night fall asleep one after another, and Harry Potter is no exception.

But today he had another dream.

The scene in his dream today was slightly different from the previous two times. The difference is that this time he knows the location in the dream!

Isn't this the village of Hogsmeade? He has been here several times! Even though it was shrouded in darkness, he could clearly recognize the familiar buildings.

Wait, Hogsmeade? ! Harry was vaguely aware of the problem in his dream, but because it was a dream with the color of a magic ring, he could not wake up immediately and could only watch all this silently.

After the previous two experiences, Harry knew that he was watching things from Voldemort's perspective. Today, Voldemort was in a very happy mood...

"Harry" walked into a dilapidated bar and went straight into the private room on the second floor. After opening the door, he saw two people sitting on chairs behind the door, waiting for his arrival.

"Master." When Voldemort entered the door, the two of them immediately stood up and saluted him respectfully.

"Good job, Bella."

Bella is? Harry was a little confused at first, and then he realized that Bella should be the Bellatrix Lestrange mentioned in the newspaper, a Death Eater who is currently on the run, and a confidant of Voldemort.

What is she doing here? Harry was confused.

His doubts were soon answered.

"Master, I have brought the person you want, Draco, come here quickly!" Bellatrix waved to the man in the corner of the room, motioning for him to come forward.

The second man was originally in the shadow of the room and couldn't see his face clearly, but when he took two steps forward and stepped out of the shadow, Harry could see his face clearly.

When he saw the man's face clearly, Harry felt that he was almost awakened: that man was actually Draco Malfoy!

But he just couldn't wake up.

He watched helplessly as Malfoy was branded with the Dark Mark by Voldemort, and then took a wooden box from his hand.

"Go, my faithful servant, take the weapons I have given you and kill my obstacles."

"Yes, my master." Malfoy saluted seriously.

Voldemort tossed his robe and left the bar room. When he left, he muttered: "Hermione Granger... Tom Yoder, and... Albus Dumbledore!"

Harry woke up suddenly, the early morning sun shining on his face, making his nose itchy.

Nose... so itchy!

Tom opened his eyes and found the culprit of his nose's discomfort: a brown, curly hair.

The owner of the hair was sitting at the desk, looking at something on a roll of parchment seriously.

Seeing Tom wake up, Hermione frowned and called him over: "Yordle, look at the mess you wrote in your history of magic paper - the dates of several goblin rebellions were completely mixed up. This was obviously a flip of the book. Problems that can be avoided…”

It was obvious that Hermione was extremely dissatisfied with the academic garbage written by Tom.

Tom could only smile awkwardly. During this period of time, he really didn't focus on studying. As a young man who knows the taste of food, he can't blame him.

He walked over to Hermione, gently put his arms around her neck, and gave her a good morning kiss.

Hermione woke up much earlier than him, had already finished washing up, and her mouth was filled with the fragrance of mint.

After a gentle kiss like a dragonfly touching water, Hermione pushed Tom away impatiently, picked up the paper on the table and threw it in front of Tom's eyes.

"Look at what you wrote. You might as well not write it. This will lower our scores...here, here and here, all have to be rewritten!" Faced with homework, Hermione Becoming very stern, Tom's kiss did nothing to change her attitude.

Tom stood on the side a little embarrassed, smiling coquettishly. He felt a little guilty after being taught such a lesson by Hermione. This was indeed his fault, holding Hermione back. If one person fails in a group assignment, the whole group suffers, especially in a two-person group.

"Smile, smile, just laugh! I've already corrected part of it for you. You can correct the rest for me before going to bed tonight." Hermione slapped the paper on the table angrily, crossed her legs and picked up a quill. She started writing and drawing on it, and her little leather shoes were hanging on her toes, swaying.

"Of course, I promise to complete the task!" Tom patted and touched his chest.

"Be more serious!"

But Tom didn't listen at all and instead intensified his efforts. Soon Hermione could no longer hold the quill in her hand.

"Wait, wait a minute! Oh, look at you, you've stained the paper—"

"Well...it's okay. I'll rewrite it tonight."

Hermione was carried to the table, and soon the table began to shake.

…

After a long time, the two separated. Hermione wiped the stains on her legs with a tissue and rolled her eyes at Tom: "It's so early in the morning that I have to change my socks again..."

"Isn't there a cleaning spell?" Tom lay on Hermione's lap and showed a flattering smile.

"Not just a cleaning spell, but a repairing spell." Hermione said angrily. She quickly changed into a new pair of socks and put away the wet and crumpled papers on the table.

"Remember to rewrite it and hand it to me tonight. There will be penalties if you fail to hand it in."

After the aftermath was completed, the two of them came out of the Room of Requirement and rushed to the auditorium for breakfast.

Tom put several sausages, a large pile of bacon and baked ham on his dinner plate, and also poured a bowl of honey milk oatmeal. That wasn't enough, he took two more pieces of toast and spread a thick layer of butter on them.

"Eating so much?" Hermione was surprised by Tom's appetite.

"Then there is someone who is hungry." Tom replied vaguely as he devoured the food.

At this time, Harry came over and sat next to Tom.

"Tom, I have something important to tell you." He lowered his voice, hoping that he could talk to Tom alone - or he could take Hermione with him.

"Okay, let's go after I finish eating-" Tom was destroying the bacon he got and didn't want to leave the table for the time being.

"Close your ears and listen!" Hermione took out her wand and cast a spell around the three of them, making the surrounding students unable to hear their conversation.

"A very practical spell!" Harry praised.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Tom glanced at Harry, a little curious as to why he found him today.

"Both you and Hermione are in danger!" Harry shared his dream last night with Tom.

This time, Harry chose to jump directly to the Seer. He hunted down Draco Malfoy, saying that this man was already a Death Eater.

"He is thinking of ways to assassinate you, first Hermione, then you, and finally Professor Dumbledore!" Harry was obviously a little anxious. He desperately wanted Tom and Hermione to realize that they were in danger.

"I will follow Malfoy next and find evidence that he murdered you..." Harry began to share his plan with Tom.

However, Tom didn't care. What he was more concerned about was that according to Harry's dream, Voldemort actually came to Hogsmeade. This is something worth noting.

But this dream seems to be full of weirdness.

Tom remembered that when he saw Malfoy yesterday, it was in the afternoon!

"Are you sure the time in the dream happened in the evening?" He interrupted Harry.

"Uh, yes." Harry recalled for a moment, then nodded firmly.

"Hogwarts has a curfew. How do you think Draco managed to meet the mysterious man at night? I clearly remember that he went to Hogsmeade yesterday afternoon." Hermione also discovered Harry's dream Something strange inside.

"This..." Harry hesitated, but he firmly believed that his dream was okay, so he found a good excuse: "Maybe he knows the secret passage in and out of Hogwarts, Fred and George Don’t you know several of them? As a pure-blood wizard, isn’t it normal for Malfoy to know several secret passages?”

Tom nodded, Harry's deduction made sense. Malfoy could indeed sneak out of the school while yesterday was Hogsmeade's open day, meet with Voldemort in the evening, and then come back through the secret passage.

But he still felt there was something wrong because it was unnecessary.

Is Voldemort a vampire who cannot move during the day? He had to wait until nightfall before meeting Malfoy.

Thinking this way, Tom felt a little worried.

"Tom, trust me! I will find a way to prove it to you!" Harry held Tom's arm excitedly, "His target is Hermione!"

"Well, you have a point." Tom agreed with Harry's idea. In any case, attacking Hermione was not something he would tolerate.

"I have a very simple verification method." Tom smiled slightly, trying to prove that Malfoy didn't need to be followed if he wanted to do bad things. The Dark Mark on his arm was ironclad proof.

"Find Malfoy, take a look at his left arm, and the truth will be revealed." Tom gave an extremely simple, direct and even crude method.

As we all know, Death Eaters will have the Dark Mark on their left arm, so anyone with the Dark Mark on their arm is basically a Death Eater.

Harry:…

"Yes!" He clapped his hands, why didn't he think of it? Really rigid thinking.

However, he looked around the auditorium and found no sign of Malfoy.

"It's not a big problem, we will meet him eventually - he has to go to class, right?" Tom finished the bowl of oatmeal in a hurry and looked at the staff table, "I prefer Malfoy to Professor Dumbledore, act quickly..."

Dumbledore had already moved very quickly. After talking to Tom yesterday, he opened Hogwarts' defense barrier. Although he did not mention the maximum limit, it was enough to stop wizards coming from outside the school. This barrier is not unbreakable, but as long as Dumbledore is still in charge at Hogwarts, he can teach the invading wizards an unforgettable lesson before the barrier is breached.

Seeing Tom's gaze towards him, Dumbledore raised his goblet and smiled at him.

Tom understood what Dumbledore meant and felt much relieved.

In his understanding, there is a cover outside Hogwarts now, which can keep out some dangers. But he also knows that such a protective shield is definitely not invincible - very simple reason, if the protective shield is invincible, how did the Battle of Hogwarts in the original world line happen?

"Let's go." Seeing that Harry and Hermione had finished their breakfast, Tom didn't want to delay here any longer. He wanted to find Malfoy as soon as possible to solve his worries.

However, as soon as they reached the door of the auditorium, the three of them heard someone calling Hermione's name.

Looking back, the person arriving was Hermione's roommate, Padma Patil, a fourth-year Ravenclaw student.

"Granger, a necklace was sent from my hometown, please help me take a look-" She shouted to Hermione from a distance, waving a wooden box in her hand.

"Padma, I have something else to do today..." Hermione wanted to refuse, but Harry tugged on her sleeve fiercely, causing her to slow down.

"Tom, Hermione, there's something wrong with the box in her hand!" He was far away, so Harry couldn't see clearly what Padma was holding, but he just felt it looked vaguely familiar. But when she came closer, he recognized it immediately. The box was exactly the box that Voldemort had given to Malfoy in the dream.

"What are you talking about?" Padma walked up to Hermione, her eyebrows looking normal.

"Harry had a nightmare yesterday and was discussing how to interpret the dream with us." Tom explained.

This is very reasonable. Tom is a well-known divination genius and has been certified by Professor Trelawney. It is very reasonable to ask him to interpret dreams.

Padma, who had great trust in Professor Trelawney, believed Tom's words and followed his words to complain about her recent sleep quality problems.

"You can drink a little liquor before going to bed, which can effectively improve the quality of sleep." Tom took the box from Padma naturally while chatting with Padma, "You just said that you are in the box. The necklace that your family sent you?”

Seeing Tom taking the box on his own initiative, Harry and Hermione both sweated nervously for him, because they both knew that the box must contain dark magic items that could kill someone!

"Yes." Padma replied with a normal expression.
