Tom suddenly sat up from the deep cold spring, as if waking up from a dream, and the cold was piercing to the bone.

The tall candlesticks in the secret room continued to burn, and the relief serpent on the wall was still looking at him indifferently.

Hermione held the crystal plate in her hand and kept sliding it - she glanced at him and said softly, "You're awake."

He wiped his face, looked around, and submerged himself in the water again.

He looked at the high ceiling and thought to himself that the ceiling is really strict, this is the style his ancestors liked...

"Is there anything else uncomfortable?" Hermione's voice came from outside the water, with a sense of distance.

"No, not at all," he replied, staring blankly at the top of his head.

The room fell into silence.Hermione's fingers slid fast, constructing magic circles one by one without stopping, and a new terminal application was almost established—however, she was not so engrossed.

She suddenly realized that after the Gringotts battle, the old Tom seemed to be back.The one before the fusion of the soul fragments... such a slumped, quiet, deep-eyed child who has no confidence at all and who can't wear a tie.

The black-haired boy soaked in the cold spring suddenly spoke, his voice was also very cold: "I'm very sad, Hermione."

Hermione stopped her hand.

He continued: "Do you know why I'm sad? It's not because the other part of me in the world is completely dead, it's not because I have almost no power in my hands, and I need to rely on you to protect... It's not because of my destiny... I Never afraid of fate, always head on..."

Hermione said softly: "This is where I agree with you."

He smiled palely: "Thank you. However... this time I am fully aware of my worst enemy, my final ending... My biggest enemy is not fate, but myself."

He said with some madness and choked up: "That's me... How can I not admit it? I only realized it when I saw it with my own eyes... That murderer, arsonist, and insane person is me, no matter how many pieces it is divided into, it is me, no matter how -"

With the sound of water, Hermione suddenly forcibly dragged him out of the crystal coffin.

The young man's pale eyes were reflected in her eyes, the wet water flowed down from his delicate face, and the shirt was tightly pressed against his taupe-colored skin——with a calm expression, she took out a bath towel and wrapped him up.

"I—" He glared at her wetly.

"I know. Dry off first," said Hermione patiently.

He felt like his head was about to be smashed.Hermione violently wiped his hair with a bath towel, and he was so anxious that he still couldn't stop saying: "Do you know!——Don't you know! I understood that when I said that... he What I said is what I thought! I also had that thought in my heart! I wish I could eat you, then destroy this world, and walk to the end of eternal life alone..."

After he finished speaking, he felt his ears being gently pulled through the towel.My heart was beating fast, but endless sorrow couldn't be restrained coming...

Hermione just looked at him blankly: "Oh."

Tom stood up angrily, pointed at her, and said, "Do you know! Do you know! That's me, that's what I think, I'm just suppressing it now—"

"Oh." Hermione glanced at him relaxedly, and said mockingly, "Then you can try it."

Tom still had tens of thousands of words and hundreds of thousands of words to express his heartfelt wishes, but they were extinguished in an instant...

Roast Chicken suddenly rolled in from the outside, glanced at him, with a clear expression, and said with a smile: "Master, it's time to start, Hogwarts is urging us."

Tom suddenly felt that his depression was blocked...

Hermione forced him a cup of steaming milk, and said calmly, "Drink it before talking."

She watched him drooping his eyes, looking at herself aggrievedly like a little panda, with a bathrobe wrapped around his forehead, sipping hot milk in small sips... suddenly felt very funny.

She pointed at the space box amusedly, and snapped her fingers: "You only have 15 minutes to tidy yourself up, and it's best to turn back into the second son of the Malfoy family right away. We're going to the school dinner soon."

Tom glared at her.

"Don't look at me like that." Hermione folded her arms and said mercilessly. "There's no time to be sad, and I don't want to care about your psychological problems. Get dressed and get ready to eat."

"...you don't care about me at all!" He suddenly yelled at her with a blank mind, accusing him angrily, "You care about Harleydra Coronnawi more than I do!"

"Huh?" Hermione raised an eyebrow.

"—You are too cruel! Yes, I said that if I become a demon, you must kill me in time, but if it is me who becomes that dragon, you will not be soft at all. I have been buried now Under the ruins of Gringotts—"

Speaking of this, he himself was deeply stunned.

——It turns out that I am so unwilling...

——No, the point is, why did I suddenly say so bluntly...

But Hermione just looked at him calmly, with a level eye.

"Because I believe that you are a strong man. A strong man will overcome his demons." She said calmly, "Now, go and change your clothes."

The auditorium for the school opening banquet in 1994 seemed more magnificent than in previous years.

The long table stretched from the entrance to the end, and the red carpet on the floor was bright and compelling as usual. In addition, several large screens were added in the room, facing Dumbledore on the faculty seat...

"Could it be that the enrollment has expanded this year? Why does it feel like the table is longer..." Someone said in a daze.

Tom was also a little dazed.It seemed as if waking up, Hogwarts always had a new look, more extraordinary than before.

Hermione nodded to him, he settled down and walked in the direction where Draco was waving.

"Didn't you come by train this year? Hermione said she was doing some experiments again..." Draco asked curiously as soon as he sat down.

"Um... yes. It's about the new terminal application..." He straightened his tie and sat up gracefully.The calm, quiet, welcoming Tom was back.

The table of Gryffindor was much more lively than the noble students of Slytherin.

Ron patted the table and said, "You know what! Fred and George were scammed by that Ludo Bagman...they gave him the leprechaun's gold coins, and they all disappeared...You know, they never They are all deceiving others! I actually have a feeling of joy..."

Neville said, "Ron, keep your voice down..."

Harry looked thoughtfully at the faculty seats on the big screen: "This year there will be a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher again... Lupine sent me a message telling me that he went far away to do some research and so on. I don't know who this year is?"

Everyone sighed and started talking about Lupine.In all fairness, he is a good teacher, but I don't know if everyone would still think that way if they knew he was a werewolf...

The auditorium is very noisy, the students are gradually filing in, talking loudly about topics related to the start of school, and the terminals in the auditorium are also jingling non-stop——

Hermione glanced up at one of the terminals.The above screen was replaced by the homepage of Xiaonei.com:

[Hogwarts Intranet·Today's Hot Spot: #新黑艺奖嘴力法师大话#]

"Well... you know, I could have been on the front page." Ron said solemnly, "A few days ago, my dad suddenly received a notice to work overtime, saying that Alastor Moody was attacked - someone else He didn't dare to manage and couldn't manage his affairs, so he still trusted my dad, and then my dad went..."

"Who is he?" Harry asked.

"A well-known Auror in the past, he was one of Dumbledore's most trusted people in the world." Neville said quickly.

"Yeah...he's pretty good, even though he's called 'Mad-Eye'...he's caught too many Death Eaters and offended too many people, including Draco's dad...ahem. Mysterious After he lost his power, he gradually got older and became suspicious, and he didn't believe anyone... In short, my dad went to see him and found that he was in a very bad condition. The garbage downstairs in their house suddenly started spraying garbage... He It seemed like I was really hurt.”

Hermione suddenly shook the water glass, and said abruptly, "I remember Barty Crouch Jr., the son of the current minister, Barty Crouch, who was arrested by this man."

Ron was taken aback, and said slowly: "Uh... well... there is such a thing, and it is written in Minister Crouch's black history posts on the Internet. However, I think Crouch himself should be a good person , It was his son who did not live up to expectations, and he was also affected by this incident when he was in office... Well, but his son was also reported by him."

Ron's tone was heavy, and Neville felt pity when he thought of his parents.Only Harry half understood.

Hermione shook the water glass again, and the events of that day's World Cup came to mind - the young man under the control of Gellert Grindelwald should be the dead Barty Crouch Jr. ...

"...But anyway, everyone is very nervous about Moody's sudden incident. You know, because the Dark Mark suddenly appeared on the World Cup..." Ron lowered his voice, "I only found out after hearing from my dad that Originally Dumbledore was going to ask Moody to be this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."

"Hey!" The friends were all stunned, and the image of an old man who had experienced many battles appeared in his mind...

"But Moody seems to have been seriously injured." Ron spread his hands, "He can't come now... just a few days before the start of school... Well, maybe the mysterious person's curse on this position is too strong Moody hit Death Eaters so hard, cursed faster - so I said I could have been on the front page, I posted the news that Moody would come to teach this class, and I would be on the front page immediately La."

The friends couldn't help thinking blankly: "Well, who will be the teacher this year..."

Hermione's heart couldn't help but move, and she had a wonderful premonition—could it be that Gellert Grindelwald...

no no.She just had a strong feeling that the former Demon King would definitely appear in school this semester, and he basically revealed it to himself—but not necessarily in the form of a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher...

Suddenly, a side door at the end of the auditorium opened.A black-haired figure with an elegant face but a vigorous body walked in gracefully.

Harry was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, he suddenly felt his heart was covered with ecstasy——

"Please allow me to introduce you," Dumbledore stood up with a smile, and said kindly, "Your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher—Sirius Black!"

--boom!

The whole auditorium burst into cheers instantly! ! !Whether boys or girls, gay or straight, everyone feels happy! ! !

"This is so cool!!!" the twins slammed the table first, "You should have told us sooner!!!"

"He - no wonder he said he was going to surprise me before he got on the train!!!" Harry blushed with excitement, "I've been wondering what it was - I should have figured it out!!! It's actually very good Guess not!"

"I knew it!" Draco was elated, "My uncle cleared his grievances at Hogwarts and returned to Hogwarts to work...it should be!"

"Merlin!!!" Ron shouted to the blushing Harry, "Finally you don't have to envy Draco for having a godfather as a teacher anymore!"

"Oh!!! Sirius did not appear in front of the public in the summer and became handsome !!!" - This is the little girl covering her heart.

"I heard that he was an Auror! But what's even cooler than Auror is that he escaped from Azkaban and slapped the Ministry of Magic! I'm looking forward to what he will teach!" - this is Ravenk who loves to learn Ladies and gentlemen.

"Papapa--" This is the other students who laughed and clapped like Tom.

"Thank you... Thank you everyone." Sirius smiled and waved to everyone. After a long absence, he really came back here. He was more popular than before. At this moment, he felt that his heart became younger——

It's just a little uncomfortable.

He glared at the sullen Snape in his seat.

— the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher's seat, right next to Snape...

—simply disgusting! ╭(╯^╰)╮!

Professor McGonagall glanced at him, looked at his two former students, and coughed lightly.

Sirius sat down reluctantly, and the hair on his forehead that looked like dog hair was raised.

Snape's expression remained unchanged, his slender fingers shook the cup, and he turned his head away noblely and coldly.

The students didn't pay attention to this scene, but Hermione saw it completely.

She couldn't help narrowing her eyes slightly, Snape's expression...was intriguing.Neither angry nor heartfelt sarcasm...

——On the contrary, it seems to be gloating...

-like "wait and see"...

She suddenly said, "There is still a vacant seat on the faculty seat."

Everyone was stunned, followed her gaze, and noticed that there seemed to be an additional seat in the corner. It was very inconspicuous, but it did exist——

"Huh? But our teachers are full..." Harry opened his eyes wide.

"Could anyone be counted?—No, even Filch is here..."

The friends couldn't help whispering, and quickly swiped the terminals under the long table.Gradually, many people noticed this, and a hot topic was added on the homepage: 【#Who is the new teacher seat? #]

Soon, the hat was lifted up, and the freshman sorting began—the teachers and old students looked at this scene, feeling quite emotional in their hearts...

Hermione looked at the hat for a long time... But this year, no one pulled out the sword of Gryffindor like she did back then...

Finally, when the sorting was over, Dumbledore cleared his throat and announced as if he was going to get to the point: "I am very sorry to tell you that there will be no College Cup Quidditch match this year."

"--What?!" Fred lost his seat and fell off the table.

"You're kidding!!!" George hurriedly helped up his brother——

"You heard me right." Dumbledore said calmly, "Because just this year, a huge event that has lasted for centuries will be held at Hogwarts. I believe that you will all gain a lot from it." pleasure--"

"Triwizard Tournament!!!" Suddenly someone on the long table shouted excitedly, "So the rumors are true!!!"

There was a pause in the auditorium for half a second, and then immediately erupted into jubilation again.

"Please be quiet, be quiet—" Dumbledore smiled, "I know that everyone's news spreads quickly after the Internet, maybe I will be the last to inform you—I announce that the Triwizard Tournament will be held in this year's Hogwarts is going on!!!"

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-!" and the students were overjoyed.

"What Triwizard Tournament?" Harry asked over the din of voices.

"My God, Harry, don't you even go to the forum?" Parvati laughed next to him.

However, when everyone was cheering, the door of the auditorium suddenly opened with a bang.

Although the auditorium had a fiery atmosphere, it was windy and windy outside.Some wind and rain came in, and everyone couldn't help but look at the door—at this time, there was a thunder and lightning flashed outside, and the lightning pierced the night sky, making it difficult to see the man's face...

Deng, Deng, Deng.

An unhurried, elegant and imposing pace stepped in.The black-haired young man looks to be only 20 years old, with a mixture of British reservedness, nobility and tranquility on his face... Under his long robe is a rigorous handmade suit, with shiny leather shoes on his feet, a top hat on his head, and He was actually carrying a very traditional, cool and trendy little black umbrella. Looking at the little black umbrella, Harry felt like he was in a 007 or Sherlock Holmes movie...

—but wait!It can't be that cool!

——He clearly knows this person!

When he came back to his senses, Dumbledore had already started to introduce again with a smile: "Please allow me to introduce our new teacher to you-we have added a new course this year. Welcome Hogwarts physical education teacher , Regulus Black!"

The students were taken aback for a moment, and then clapped and shouted even more frantically!There are still people whistling in the air!

Harry opened his eyes and saw Regulus greet everyone with elegance and restraint, saw him meet his godfather's face - saw Sirius' expression as if he had been choked out of thin air - saw Snape showed a delighted and gloating smile beside him...

Harry instinctively felt bad, and didn't listen to the discussions around him, and ran towards the godfather as soon as dinner was over——

In the corridor, black hair meets black hair, long legs meet long legs.Sure enough, the two Black brothers were confronting each other.

"Why did you come here! What about our family's property! Aren't you in charge!" Sirius said frantically.

"I'll leave it to sister CeCe." Regulus looked at him and said.

"You! Why are you doing this! Narcissa is already married to Malfoy! Besides, isn't it you that mother trusts most! Who will take care of the house when you come!" Sirius pointed at him sadly.

"That's much better than my brother leaving the family alone for decades, isn't it?" Regulus looked at him coldly.

"Uncle..." Draco walked up from behind Harry, looking at them speechlessly.

Both Blakes ignored everything around them - and soon, there was a crowd around, and the brothers' Internet popularity was too high.

"What are you shooting! Don't shoot!" Draco was a little annoyed, but he couldn't drive the others away at all.

"You..." Sirius was too annoyed to speak.

"Not only that, didn't my brother stay at home this summer after he was released from prison?" Regulus continued.

"I did it for Harry..."

"If my brother was really for Harry, why was he willing to take the blame and go to jail 13 years ago? My brother hated the family so much, but he didn't know that his mother was blind from crying and hung a portrait of herself at the door of the house, just to wait for my brother to return."

"Don't say it!" Sirius glared at his younger brother angrily, "When it comes to making mother sad, don't you do the same?! Didn't you also leave home for more than ten years and never return, everyone thought you were dead— —”

"Papa papa!—" The onlookers held their terminals high, almost trembling with excitement.

"Yes, that's exactly the case." Regulus said calmly, "Our brother always makes mother sad—my brother hates me and our family. My brother thinks I am evil, but he doesn't know what I have done ...In the final analysis, it is because we have not gotten along for many years and have always communicated too little."

Sirius stared at him without saying a word.

"But now I'm back, and my brother is back." The 20-year-old Regulus looked at him clearly and said clearly: "I will no longer run away from my brother, nor will I let my brother run away from me— "

"Then what are you doing here with me?" Sirius said helplessly.

"Because Hogwarts will prove it all."

The second young master of the Black family nodded noblely at his brother, his robes were windy, and walked proudly at a leisurely pace.

Sirius stood there annoyed, and Harry stepped forward to comfort him.

Draco rushed to the crowd again: "Don't take pictures, don't take pictures! It's over—" But he quietly stuck out his tongue at Harry, "My little uncle is so cool..."

Harry pulled his dejected godfather dog, and whispered, "I think so too..."

The author has something to say: I said that the fourth grade will be very exciting!Moody is boring, let the Black men do it!

Of course this is just the beginning!The fourth grade is my favorite book of the original book, and it is also a book that I have turned so badly that I have lost pages. The follow-up must be more passionate!
