[HP]Tom Potter

Chapter 39 Grade 4

On this day, the students of Hogwarts celebrated the victory of the warriors all night, especially the students of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, who almost raised the castle to the sky.So on the second day, most of the students floated out of their respective dormitories with big dark circles under their eyes, and gathered at the long table like ghosts, eating breakfast without a bite.And some students who have no class are lucky enough to sleep on the big soft bed.

"The professors must have taken the euphoria." The listless Ron looked enviously at the still energetic adult wizards on the professor's long table. "They obviously made a fuss very late yesterday, it's too unfair."

Hermione rolled her eyes.She saw Harry walking towards the Gryffindor table and raised her hand in greeting, "Harry, this way."

The blue-eyed boy sat next to Ron amidst the whistles and applause of the Gryffindor students, and Hermione looked at him with concern, "Harry, you are not in good spirits. Did you take care of little Tom late in the headmaster's office yesterday?" ? How is he now?"

Ron held his head up with difficulty. "Poor Tom, he actually had a rash on his birthday. When Remus came to find Sirius and Headmaster Dumbledore, I was frightened. It was the first time I saw him so nervous."

Harry smiled, "Remus was so worried about Tom, that's why he looked flustered." What happened in the cemetery was still a secret to the students.Apart from what Diggory knew, all Ron and the others knew was little Tom's rash, so after the game Harry was so anxious to take care of his little brother that he didn't take part in the celebration in his honor.

Last night, in the headmaster's office, the old headmaster had received questioning looks from his students Sirius and Remus for the first time after Harry shared his memories of the cemetery through the Pensieve.Just like he had promised Harry, the old wizard told everything about Tom, everything he knew and what he guessed. Sirius jumped up at that moment, the fact that his favorite little boy was the Dark Lord - even if it was only a part of the Dark Lord, this fact was hard for the proud Black to accept.And Remus seemed to have guessed some of the facts long ago, so the whole process was very calm, not only stopped Sirius' riot, but also asked a few questions calmly.

About Tom being able to defeat the Dark Lord easily, the old Headmaster explained it like this. "Although Tom came from a bit of Voldemort's soul, as he himself said, what he left behind was just a seed. When the seed germinated, it grew into a brand new tree. Tom's soul is complete and innocent Yes, Voldemort's soul is broken, corrupt and dirty. When two souls face each other, no matter how powerful Voldemort's body is, his soul is vulnerable. Of course, if Voldemort is not so arrogant and greedy, don't go Take away Tom's power, but choose to directly give Tom a death curse or other black magic, the young Tom is simply irresistible."

When Remus asked if Professor Snape knew the truth, the old headmaster nodded. "I trust Snape as much as I trust you. It's just that Snape is better at keeping secrets than you." Remus accepted the explanation, and Sirius snorted at it.

In the end, everyone agreed to keep Tom's identity a secret.I believe it's the same with the Dark Lord, otherwise Voldemort wouldn't have given his loyal Death Eaters a Forgetting Curse.As for Barty and Jorkins, the old headmaster said that he would contact the Ministry of Magic in private, and believed that the old wizard with the white beard would give the stout little minister a perfect explanation.And there was the real Professor Moody, the wizard who had been imprisoned for a whole year and was now very weak and receiving treatment in the hospital wing.

But all of these, Harry couldn't reveal to his good friends, the boy who had become very calm could only answer their questions with a smile. "You don't have to worry, Professor Snape's potion is very effective, and the rash on Tom's body has disappeared now."

"It's a pity that Tom didn't see you win the championship yesterday, otherwise the little guy would be very happy." Hemione breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt sorry for the little guy.

"It's okay, the owl will bring the newspaper later, it must be full of Harry's photos and news, let's show it to Tom, he will definitely like it very much." Ron said loudly.

Soon, an owl flew in from outside, bringing today's newspaper. Ron snatched the newspaper excitedly, but only glanced at it before throwing the newspaper on the long table in frustration, "Strange, why is there no report in the newspaper?"

"Let me take a look." Hermione picked up the newspaper, flipped through it twice, and soon found the report on the Triwizard Tournament on the second page. ""The Smallest Warrior, The Strongest Champion", the title is quite provocative. It is full of praises for Harry's long speech, and it is accompanied by a large photo of Harry and Diggory when they walked out of the maze."

"But Harry should be the headliner." Ron angrily tossed a croissant into his mouth, chewed a couple of haphazardly before swallowing, and the kid choked sadly.

Hermione brought Ron a glass of water and saved him from choking to death. "It's a bit strange, let me see what the headlines are?" The girl flipped back to the first one, ""Large Candy Rain in Muggle Cemetery, Minister of Magic Protests Boring Prank", what a weird news."

"Candy Rain?!" Ron, who hadn't noticed what the headline was just now, snatched the newspaper. Hermione gave him a displeased look, then put her head next to the boy and continued to read the news. Harry froze for a moment, then leaned over to look.

"Last night, a strange event happened in Little Hangleton, an unknown Muggle gathering place. A terrible candy rain fell on a local cemetery due to some large-scale magic. This candy The rain, which started at about 20 o'clock last night and lasted for ten minutes, caused a huge pile of candy up to seven feet high on the cemetery. Members of the Ministry of Magic's reversal of incidents team estimated that all the surrounding areas fifty miles around Little Hangleton Candies are summoned into this wacky candy rain. Panicked Muggles everywhere watch as their candies are taken from where they've been kept - whether in candy boxes, under pillows, or even It was caught between the fingers and was about to be put into the mouth - it flew out and flew into the sky. And no less than hundreds of Muggles saw the huge cloud of candy flying in the air. The Muggle residents of Little Hangleton It is undoubtedly the most panic, because they witnessed the whole process of the candy rain being produced and falling."

"As of press time, the Ministry of Magic has received three letters of representation from the British Muggle Prime Minister. The Muggles said that they are very indignant at such unscrupulous magic, and they think..."

While Hermione read the news in amazement, Harry stared blankly at the pictures in the newspaper.In the picture above, two young wizards are standing next to a pile of candy like a hill, spreading their hands silly, as if they are constantly complaining about something.The peaked hats on their heads are not as high as candy, and they look like children who have arrived in the kingdom of adults.The entire cemetery was flooded with sweets, except for a few trees standing stubbornly among the candies.

"Wow~ this is amazing!" Ron exclaimed. "This is the most amazing prank I've ever seen. Compared to the whole thing, Fred's prank is like a child's trick."

"What's so great about this!" Hermione gave the red-haired boy a sideways look. "Didn't you hear me just now, the Prime Minister has sent a letter to Minister Fudge, and now it's a diplomatic matter. It's serious!" Word meal.

Ron said nonchalantly, "What's the matter, Muggles always make such a fuss." He glanced at the pile of candies in the photo, and marveled again, "So many candies, if only I could cast this spell."

"My dear little brother Ron, this prank is not for ordinary people." A red head suddenly stretched out from across the long table.

"This requires novel ideas~" Another red head appeared.

"There must also be strong magic power." Another added.

"The most important thing is that you must have a heart that is passionate about the cause of pranks~~"

"To think of such a wonderful idea~~"

"A candy storm, how wonderful and perfect~~" the twins finally sang together.

Hermione was utterly beaten by the Weasley boys. Harry clutched his forehead with a headache.

"Tangtang, Tangtang~~" A childish voice came over. Remus and Tom came to the edge of the long table at some point, the little Tom leaning on the gray-haired wizard's arms was looking at the newspaper with bright eyes, and he almost fell down and lay down on the photo.

These are all Tom's candies!The little guy thought happily.However, Albus said that there were too many candies, and he was too old and weak to move so many candies, so he had to temporarily store them with the Ministry of Magic.Thinking of this, Tom felt a little wronged, and then clenched his fists.He wanted to do what Albus said, eat more, exercise more, grow up quickly, and then he could go to the Ministry of Magic to get back his own candy.

"Harry, do you want to play with little Tom?" Remus said to Harry gently.

Tom immediately forgot about his candy and turned to Harry. "Harry, hug~~"

Harry hesitated, and reached out to stroke the little boy's head. "Tom, I'm going to class, can I play with you later?"

Tom bit his little finger and nodded in disappointment. "good."

Harry stood up to go. Ron said strangely, "Harry, why are you in such a hurry, it's still early. Besides, you haven't eaten anything. It's okay to be hungry."

Harry smiled, "I still have to go back to the tower to get my textbooks, it's too late if I don't leave now."

Such an explanation sounds reasonable. Ron nodded in acceptance. Although Hermione thought Harry's expression was a bit strange, she didn't think much of it.Then, in the next few days, Harry was always busy for various reasons, and spent very little time with Tom.Although Remus and the students always had various ways to make the little boy happy, when Tom looked at Harry, the look of hope that turned into disappointment made people feel very distressed.

One afternoon, Hermione finally couldn't bear to stop Harry in the Gryffindor common room. "Harry, what's wrong with you? Your attitude towards Tom is very strange these two days."

The black-haired boy smiled gently, "No, do you think I've treated Tom badly?"

Hermione pursed her lips, "You are very kind to Tom, but, Harry, have you noticed the look in little Tom's eyes recently? Although he is young, he can feel the indifference of his dearest person."

Harry was silent for a moment, still insisting on his statement. "I'm just busy lately. And I'm going on vacation in two days, so I have plenty of time to spend with Tom. Now I'm going to the library, Hermione, if you don't want to go, just let it go."

Hermione looked at her friend in surprise, and took a moment to move away stiffly.

After Harry left, Ron watched in horror as the little witch's face turned from green to white, from white to green again.Finally, the girl raised her head, pulled Ron and walked outside.

Ron's face flushed. "Why...why pull me, where are we going?"

The girl gritted her teeth with a ferocious expression on her face. "Let's go to the headmaster's office and find Headmaster Dumbledore!"

The author has something to say:

Well, I don't know if you have noticed, but our little Tom has now set a long-term goal: to capture the Ministry of Magic for the candy!
