[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

Mrs. Hooch seemed to accept Tom's visit calmly. And Tom tried his best to control himself throughout the whole process and not pay attention to the serious lady's still red eyes and nasal voice.

They briefly apologized to each other and then talked about how they magically kept students safe during flying lessons.

When Tom finally stood up to leave, Mrs. Hooch hesitated and said in a flat voice: "Mr. Locke, you may not like to hear some words, but I still feel it is necessary to tell you."

"Reading is a good thing, but in the magical world, books cannot solve all problems. Wizards have to practice after all. Take flying as an example. Reading doesn't mean you understand it. Nothing can be faster than actually flying around in the sky. I’ve mastered flying skills more truly.”

"I know, thank you, Mrs. Huo Qi." Tom heard that Mrs. Huo Qi was sincerely admonishing him, so he lingered at the door for a while, then turned back and stretched out his hand to Mrs. Huo Qi: "Maybe you are willing to come with me. dinner?"

Mrs. Huo Qi laughed briefly and soon became serious again. She took two steps closer, put her hand on Tom's shoulder, lowered her head and said to him: "Let's go, Mr. Locke."

Tom could tell that at least half of the Slytherins and Gryffindors gasped when they walked into the Great Hall together.

Mrs. Huo Qi turned a blind eye and nodded slightly to him, then let go of her hand and walked towards the teacher's desk.

Tom quickly slipped back to the Gryffindor table and sat down next to Seamus, who was staring at him with his mouth wide open.

"I'm starving." He said, quickly grabbing a hamburger and eating it, hoping that this performance would convince other students that he really couldn't spare the time to answer their questions.

Unfortunately, reading body language cues is an advanced course for Gryffindors.

"Cool...how did you do that?" Seamus asked, "I thought Mrs. Hooch would never allow you to take flying lessons again!"

Many senior students leaned over with interest.

Tom didn't want to share the ins and outs with so many people at the dinner table, especially when there were so many classmates he didn't know at all. When he was thinking about what to do, Hermione was a big help——

She hurried over and sat down next to him, throwing her heavy schoolbag aside. The other students had to complain and move away to make room for her and her schoolbag.

"You've missed a lot!" she shouted anxiously, and used fierce and irritable eyes to push away the classmates who were leaning aside to listen to the gossip. "Harry became a seeker." She said in a low voice, with the tone of every word Showing disapproval.

"He did fly very well." Tom commented fairly. "I wouldn't have dared to speed up the dive, let alone him land safely."

"No freshman has ever entered the academy team. This is against the rules!"

"Wake up, Hermione. He is not an ordinary first-year freshman, he is the savior of the wizarding world. A savior classmate is much rarer than a first-year Seeker." Tom said, "If you ask me, the savior thing itself is It's quite..." He thought for a while and reluctantly found a word, "It's quite a novel, you know? It's normal to give the green light to the savior in novels."

Hermione understood what he was talking about, but this kind of obvious privilege still made her feel uncomfortable, not to mention... "But he doesn't cherish honor at all!" She almost squeezed it out through her teeth in order to lower her voice. From the work unit, "I overheard the conversation between him and Malfoy. They agreed to duel in the trophy room at midnight! Think about it, if you are caught wandering around at night, how many points will be deducted from Gryffindor. And He will definitely be caught!"

"Why are you so sure he will be caught?" Tom put down his knife and fork and looked at her thoughtfully, "So...you are going to tell the teacher?"

Hermione pursed her lips uncomfortably: "I haven't thought about it yet..."

"But they didn't listen to my advice at all," she said indignantly. "I want to try again tonight."

"What if they still don't listen?" Tom was a little confused about where Hermione's strong sense of responsibility came from. "Hermione, you are not the class monitor. You have persuaded them and they have fulfilled their duties as classmates. Even if they are caught and have points deducted, they will only bear the consequences of their actions."

"I don't have a problem if it's just their own points. They deserve it," Hermione replied. "But house points concern every Gryffindor in every year. Tom, I know you don't care about houses." Cup, but think about it, do you really want the college points we have earned so hard to be wasted so easily by a few reckless guys who usually make no contribution to the extra points? "

Tom chewed slower.

"Think about it, we work so hard in class, how many extra points can we get at one time? But I've asked, there are very heavy deductions for violating school rules! Tom, you also got deducted points, but I don't think it's okay, because you can earn Come back. But if they have points deducted, can they earn it back? Don't we have to make up for the loss? Is this fair?" Hermione slammed the table, "So we have to stop them!"

"But it's uncontrollable," Tom pointed out. "You can't stop everyone who violates school rules."

Hermione glanced at him impatiently and said: "A little deduction is a good thing. I have already thought about it. We will wait in the common room tonight to see if they are really going out. If so, we will Stop them!"

Tom sighed and said, "How to stop me? If they don't listen, why don't I fight with them first? Because I don't want the points I earned to be wasted by others, why don't I just squander it myself?"

Hermione was asked.

"...Do you want to report to Professor McGonagall?" she asked.

"How are you going to explain to the professor if they just say harsh words but actually stay comfortably in the dormitory at night?" Tom put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth and asked.

"There will always be a way." Hermione bit her fingernails anxiously, "How about telling Percy? He is a prefect and Ron's brother. He can always control them."

"You can try," said Tom, "but if you ask me, I'm going with them."

"What!" Hermione screamed.

Tom gave a sly smile and said, "I've never been on a night swim before. What an opportunity! Think about it, Hermione," he urged, "we can help them not get caught, and even if they do, We also have a beautiful reason - we originally planned to stop them, but we joined them because we had no choice but to keep an eye on them to prevent them from causing more trouble."

"It won't be so heartbreaking if you deduct the points you earned, right?" He whispered, "Besides, we can still earn them back!"

"But the school rules..." Hermione struggled to say.

"Just treat it like a complete school experience." Tom picked up Hermione's schoolbag and handed it to her. "If we are going to go out at night, we have to go back to the dormitory to sleep now. I don't want to make some stupid mistakes by dozing off during the night out. It’s better not to be caught than not to be caught.”

He pulled Hermione, who was still hesitating, to stand up and winked at the girl: "As you said, a little less deduction is a good thing."
