[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

The Dark Lord was in high spirits - after seeing Dumbledore's unhappy face - so he gave Tom special permission to stay for the celebratory dinner at Hogwarts.

"Severus will bring you back," he ordered.

Snape shook his head carelessly, his expressionless face showing no hint of displeasure.

Tom agreed unhappily, and then quickly slipped away to the Gryffindor common room - the moment he entered, many classmates looked at him very strangely, but the next moment Hermione looked at him in high spirits. He raised his hand: "This way!"

Tom, who had stopped at the door, laughed, passed through the crowd of people with different eyes, and sat next to his friends.

Harry stared at him for a while, pushed the trophy to his hand, and said, "I won."

"Congratulations," Tom looked into Harry's green eyes, "You have to keep winning."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief and grinned: "Would you like to touch it?" He said this and directly put the trophy into Tom's hand.

"This is the Triwizard Tournament trophy, man!" Ron said exaggeratedly, bumping Tom's shoulder.

"Of course." Tom raised the trophy, and the candlelight reflected on the golden trophy. In a daze, he felt the resurrection stone in his body vibrate, and a few small strands of magic power jumped out from his fingers. He quickly "licked" the trophy.

Looking closer, the luster on the trophy seems to have faded a bit.

The Resurrection Stone fell more and more heavily into his body, and even his knowledge robe seemed to have an extra layer of luster.

What happened... Tom put down the trophy calmly. His strong intuition made him look up at the stairs leading to the men's dormitory - a huge black dog was standing upstairs, with only half of his body exposed. Staring at him with human displeasure.

The next moment the black dog made eye contact with him, he paved the ground with his front paws and retracted his body.

"Sirius." Harry followed his gaze and introduced, "Well, he's not free of crime now... so I'm keeping him for now. It's very useful." Harry smiled slyly, "At least The Dursleys don't dare to make me do endless chores anymore.".7

"Pretty good." Tom said, "Uh..." He turned his attention to Hermione, who waved her wand and cast a small area of ​​silence.

"Okay," she said, crossing her arms, "There's always someone who's going to stir up this unpleasant topic, so why don't I do it - what's going on between you and the Dark Lord?"

"Where to start..." Tom leaned back in his chair, "I guess we have to start with the Mandrake Adult Dance."

Targeted by the Dark Lord's Horcrux, even the demon pet Crow Chirp was possessed, and was finally snatched away by the Dark Lord in the Forbidden Forest...

"What are you doing in the Forbidden Forest?" Hermione pointed out.

"Okay," Tom rubbed his face, "There's something wrong with my magic power." He spread his hands, and a few wisps of gray-white mist came out, and at his gesture, it formed into a soft and flexible magic ball. , being kneaded and played with by him.

He originally wanted to tell about the black dog, but his intuition stopped him.

"I 'ate' a few Dementors," Tom said vaguely, "and that was it."

"..." Hermione narrowed her eyes, "What does this have to do with you running to the Forbidden Forest on your own?" She realized, "They... need to be 'fed'? Or..." She thought of Mo Mo keenly. However, "it needs to be 'released' regularly and cannot be suppressed all the time?"

"I don't know if we are talking about the same thing," Tom glanced at Harry and Ron, who were still looking confused, and felt both headache and pride at Hermione's sharpness, "But the situation before... was probably like this. I mean."

"..." Hermione stared at him angrily, "You have been hiding such a big thing from us!" She knew that Tom was hiding something, and she had calmly told Tom that when he was ready to share, she could always... ...But I didn’t expect it to be such a fatal thing! How could he remain silent!

"I'm sorry," Tom avoided her gaze, "but think about it, it's not illegal to kill an Obscurus!"

What are you saying! Hermione immediately felt offended: "You don't trust us!"

"I'm sorry, but that's really not the case, Hermione!" Tom raised his hands in surrender, "I always thought that I might be able to sort out the end myself soon - there is no need to drag you into the water and worry about it together. And what if, I mean just in case, if any of you say a word or two in your sleep, and someone listens to you..."

"Asshole!" Hermione punched him in the face without hesitation.

The magic ball in Tom's hand jumped up, and countless thin threads floated towards Hermione with claws and claws, and then Tom grabbed it hurriedly: "Don't! Don't! - I'm not talking about you, Hermione. You Well played.”

Hermione folded her arms and snorted. Seeing Tom's good attitude of admitting his mistakes, she could barely get over this issue - she knew before that Tom had a secret that he didn't tell, so she was somewhat mentally prepared and looked at the two people next to her. Guys, you're still digesting the problem that Tom's magic power isn't quite right.

"Then what?" she said coldly.

Tom squeezed the bulging magic power into a smooth ball again, and rolled it back and forth on the red and swollen parts of his face to apply ice.

"Then? Wandering around with the Dark Lord." Tom gave a rough summary, and later they even lived in Professor Snape's house, and even went to Gringotts to steal the gold cup - "Cool." Ron said, and then he said Hermione also said something about elbowing her.

But Hermione didn't let him go.

"The Dark Lord is willing to leave you here alone. You must have gained his trust." She said slowly, "What did you do?"

Tom didn't speak.

"Tom, do you consider us friends?" Harry asked him seriously.

"Let's talk in another place." Tom sighed and took them back to the dormitory - "Why can you enter the men's dormitory? As soon as I tried to enter the girls' dormitory, I was kicked out by a curse!" Ron said to Hermione. Min yelled, then elbowed Hermione again.

After Hermione cast various secrecy spells, Tom finally revealed the biggest secret of the Dark Lord's immortality: Horcruxes.

"To make a Horcrux, a dark wizard needs to break his own soul through evil things such as murder, and then separate part of the soul from the body and seal it in a vessel. This vessel is a Horcrux. In this way, even if the body is destroyed, he will die. No. Because there is still a part of the soul that is not damaged and remains in the world." Tom said, "So the Dark Lord did not completely die thirteen years ago."

"He... induced me to get a Horcrux." Tom twitched his lips, "But he didn't know that I ate a dementor, so..." He shrugged, "The Dark Lord's soul tablets taste pretty good. .”

Ron looked at him in awe like he was a monster.

"His soul piece has no effect on you?" Harry asked.

"Probably not." Tom stared at the scar on his forehead, "What about you?"

"What?" Harry asked inexplicably.

"...Have you ever thought about why Bai Xian has no effect on the scar on your forehead?" Tom said tactfully.

Hermione's expression changed.

Harry understood this time, and his expression froze inch by inch.

Ron looked blank: "Huh?"
