[HP]Tom Potter

Chapter 31 Grade 4

On New Year's Day in 1995, Harry and Tom spent time in the old house of the Black family, accompanied by the gentle and kind Mr. Lupine. Sirius had wanted to invite the old headmaster with the white beard, but Dumbledore declined his invitation with a smile.As the headmaster of Hogwarts, he wants to stay at the school to celebrate the New Year with the professors and other students staying at the school. This is not only to follow the school tradition, but also his duty as the headmaster.

Although he did not accept Sirius' invitation, the old principal still prepared a big gift for Sirius - he sent a house elf to Dobby to help at 12 Grimmauld Place.It was with Dobby's help that Sirius was able to restore this gloomy old house to its original magnificent and stately appearance before Hogwarts vacation.

Sirius was very grateful for that.In fact, long before he left Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic sent a team of house elves to clean the old house that had been unoccupied for many years in order to express its apology.But they were stopped by Kreacher before they could even get in the door.The old house-elf firmly refused entry to outsiders, and Sirius didn't like the Ministry of Magic, so he acquiesced to Kreacher's actions.

But Sirius soon regretted it. Kreacher was too old, and he had been alone in this old house for so long, that he was completely confused now.He doesn't take the initiative to clean the room, doesn't bother to cook, and spends most of the day complaining and cursing.And Sirius was unwilling to sign contracts with other elves rashly, so he had to do the housework by himself.

It has to be said that this glamorous Mr. Black outside is just a lazy, bad-tempered ordinary wizard at home.His most common spells are cleansing and restoration.Mrs. Weasley, who often came to help, even believed that without her, the young master of the Black family would have lived uncomfortably but patiently in a pile of smelly clothes and dirty dishes, and would have lived forever.

But no matter what, as a fairly qualified godfather, Sirius couldn't let his dear godson live in the old house like himself.Therefore, the old principal who generously lent Dobby is to some extent the hero who rescued the almost desperate Mr. Black from the dark abyss.

On the first day they arrived at Black's old house, both Harry and Tom were amazed at the beautiful big house.And Sirius ignored Remus' slightly teasing gaze, proudly puffed out his chest, showed them the old house one by one, and finally led the two amazed little wizards into their own room.It was a large bedroom with a large balcony and several small rooms on the second floor. Tom saw the super big bed in the middle of the room at first sight, and the little guy jumped on it happily, and then he was pleasantly surprised to find that the big bed was full of elasticity, so he jumped up and bounced on the bed excitedly.Seeing many dirty black footprints on the white sheets, the corners of Sirius' mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Remus patted him on the shoulder understandingly, "Don't worry, Padfoot, I'll clean it up."

Sirius' eyes suddenly lit up. "Moon face, you are such a nice person."

Harry laughed at the sight of them.Then, under the signal of Sirius offering a treasure, Harry opened the doors of the small rooms one by one.One is the cloakroom, which is full of new clothes that Sirius bought for him and Tom, and Harry even recognized some of them as Muggle brands; the other is the toy room, which is full of all kinds of toys. It meets the needs of children of various ages from a few years old to teens; the last one is the bathroom, and to Harry's surprise, there is also a small bathtub that can automatically release hot water and bath bubbles, A beautiful mermaid was carved on the wall flirtatiously winking at Harry, while the luxurious silver vanity mirror next to it read a long list of compliments into his bright green eyes without stopping.

It was much prettier than Sirius's one in what could be called austere bedroom.Harry, who had already visited the godfather's room, felt shy in his heart, but at the same time he felt a little joy that he couldn't describe.Although the godfather has always been careless and sometimes very childish, his feelings for himself and Tom cannot be more sincere.

"Harry, do you like it here?" Sirius was very proud of his arrangement.Especially the bathtub, which he made after referring to the prefect's bathroom in Hogwarts, I'm sure Harry will like it very much.Back then, when they sneaked into the prefect's bathroom, they were quite envious and jealous of the prefect treatment that Remus enjoyed.

"Well, I like it very much." Harry nodded vigorously.He walked up to the godfather, who was laughing heartily at his answer, and gave him a big hug, resting his head on the wizard's broad shoulder.The teenager murmured, "Thank you, Sirius."

Sirius froze for a moment, then hugged his beloved godson tightly back. "Stupid Harry, I'm your godfather."

"Huh?" The little guy who was playing hard saw this scene, and immediately jumped out of bed unwillingly and rushed towards them. "Hug, Tom wants a hug too!"

"Haha! Tom is also hugging!" Sirius reached out and scooped up the little guy who was stretching his little hands from the ground.Next, Eldest Young Master Black stretched out his other hand, and pulled Remus, who was watching the play with his arms folded, also pulled over. "Moon face, you come too!"

Remus was pulled into the man's arms at once, startled at first, then put his arms around Sirius' and Harry's necks, and put the four big and small heads together.

They laughed together.

In the days that followed, the entire Black old house was filled with such happy laughter. Harry often rode his firearm, playing Quidditch with Sirius and Remus on the space-enchanted lawn.As for Tom, after getting bored with the dollhouse toys, he unexpectedly fell in love with the full bath, so much so that Remus had to cast a child-repelling spell on the bathroom to keep the little one from sneaking in to play in the water alone. resulting in accidents.You know, that's quite possible with super bubbly little Tom.

And because of Kreacher's unreliability, the usual housework is done by Remus, an almighty good man, and Harry, who learned housework at his aunt's house, also helps.As for Sirius and Tom, although they also took the initiative to ask for help, judging from the actual effect, they often only help more and more. Even washing dishes can turn the kitchen into a terrible swamp.So in the end these two useless guys were disqualified from the kitchen.

For this reason, Mr. Sirius Black, who is completely incompetent with housework, often took Remus's hand and said gratefully, "Dear Remus, how would I live without you."

Then Sirius would get Remus's beautiful big white eyes amid Harry and Tom's jeers.Ever since he took over most of the housework, the young master Black, who no longer had to worry about his future, began to let go of his courage and make troubles in the old house.The most common bad thing he did was to turn into a big black dog and play with the boys, leaving plum-shaped dog paw prints all over the walls and carpet, and then ordering Remus to clean up without any guilt.

The whole winter vacation was spent easily like this.The calendar soon turned to the one for the start of Hogwarts.Among the four, only Sirius wanted to stay in the old house. Therefore, the handsome young master Black was very reluctant to leave Harry and the others, acting like a little animal cruelly abandoned by his master. Harry guessed unkindly that most of Sirius' pitiful appearance was due to his dependence on and reluctance to the almighty Master-Master Remus.

After waving goodbye to the dejected Sirius, Harry and the others got on the train to school.This is little Tom's first time on Hogwarts.He used to be brought directly to the school from the fireplace in Godric's Hollow by the old headmaster.Therefore, the little guy is very novel about everything on the car.He looked excitedly at the passing scenery outside the glass window, and his whole body was almost glued to it.

Ron, who was in the same compartment, was very dissatisfied with the little guy's neglect.He had a hard time peeling the little one off the glass and then feeding the puffed-cheeked little one.Unsurprisingly, the little guy soon couldn't stand the temptation of delicious food and became happy again.

The news that the little guy was in the car quickly spread. Every few minutes, the little witches came in to visit the little guy. After kissing and touching the little guy, they left small gifts and left with satisfaction.

And Harry noticed that the Malfoy boys had passed their carriage door for the third time.He thought for a while, picked up little Tom and walked out.Watching Harry and Malfoy talking outside, Ron pursed his lips and turned his head the other way.Then, he found the little brown-haired witch looking at him strangely.

"Hemione, why are you looking at me like that?"

Miss Granger countered, "Didn't you always hate Malfoy? I thought you'd go out and punch him or something."

"I still hate him," Ron shrugged, "but I don't think it's fun to be against him now."

"Why?" Hermione looked at the boy strangely, "When did you become mature?"

Ron scratched his hair and thought for a moment. "Maybe it's the way Malfoy treats young Tom."

The girl nodded understandingly. "Malfoy's been nice to little Tom."

Ron opened his mouth in a smirk.In fact, he just thought it was ridiculous for Malfoy to be completely bewildered in front of Tom.And to fight against a Malfoy like that, he'd be downright out of class.

Ron thought, I don't want to be a fool like Malfoy.

The author has something to say:

Baby Tom, you've managed to calm down the ongoing fight between Draco and Ron, you're so capable.Dear~~:)
