the Gambler

The alarm went off twice in succession.

When Harry returned to the Weasley joke store with no shame, it was inevitable that Tom would sneer: "Too witty, dear Harry, I can't understand the meaning of your secrecy. Seriously, I deeply doubt that the whole street Awakened by you. Ollivander's Wand Shop, am I right?"

"I accidentally forgot."

"Even this kind of thing will be forgotten, what will you do if you leave me?" Tom pinched Harry's nose aggressively, "Maybe next time I will say hello to Mr. Ollivander in advance, owls are not for pampering .”

"Hedwig is too conspicuous." Harry retorted weakly.

"There are special owls in the school," Tom sighed, reaching out to ruffle Harry's hair, "You should also add some oil to the things on your neck, too little rotation and easy to rust."

"My eyes are going to be blind, Merlin, I can't see clearly!" Fred put his head on George's chest, looking like a little bird.

"Oh, my God, brother, that's definitely the latest spell!" George held Fred's head and examined it carefully, exaggeratedly shouting, "The light of the current charge! It's the most vicious spell I've ever seen ,none of them!"

"Stop this soap opera, you two—" Harry hadn't finished speaking, the air suddenly cooled down, and even his hairs stood on end. Everyone showed a defensive posture, and the nearest window glass was slowly covered by white mist , a vague black figure floated past outside, accompanied by loud shouts.

Death Eaters and Dementors.

Harry grabbed his wand and pushed the twins into the shop: "Go to Hogwarts, you know the secret way."

"No, Harry, we can't keep you!" Fred frowned, the explosions and cries for help from time to time outside the window made him have the urge to jump out, it was another unexpected Death Eater attack, he had already I have met many times.The only difference from the past, this time also brought those disgusting monsters.

"We can summon the Patronus to help drive away the dementors." George waved his wand, and a silvery-white four-legged animal quickly passed through the wall and ran around the entire street.Fred's raised wand was held down by Harry, and he cautiously observed the situation outside through the window. Sure enough, attracted by the sudden appearance of the Patronus, the Death Eaters began to gather here slowly.

"The Death Eaters have discovered that unfamiliar Patronuses are easy to attract attention. Unlike you, my Patronus has long been no secret." Harry said in a low voice, "Tom and I will stay, you guys leave quickly, by the way, just remind me Headmaster Dumbledore, we're sneaking out again. Don't worry, the Order of the Phoenix and the Aurors will arrive if we delay long enough."

The twins nodded simultaneously.

"Oh, I'm afraid this store is going to be destroyed." Harry added.

"I have a hunch it's going to be burned to ashes, but luckily we're using the Burrow as a warehouse." Fred blinked. "Go ahead and wreak havoc, Harry, as long as you take down enough Death Eaters." As soon as the words fell, he and George disappeared without a trace. At the same moment, the Death Eaters broke in through the door, and a huge stink bomb fell on their heads, catching them by surprise.

"To pieces." Tom smashed through the wall and dragged Harry out. Several beams of light of different colors flashed overhead.The two turned into a nearby alley, holding their breath as they watched the group of Death Eaters yelling and running in the opposite direction, Tom frowned, "There are too many people, we need to go back too. Forget it, if I didn't say it, since you The intention to stay is the result of heroism."

"You can go first." Harry said angrily, "I'm fine by myself."

Tom snapped Harry's chin and looked at Harry seriously: "I care about you."

"Extremely touching."

"So I'll ask for compensation if I come back alive. You're a magnet for trouble." Tom let go of his hand and took the lead to run to the place where the dementors gathered. Their deterrent power made even Death Eaters hesitate.Tom could feel his feet getting heavier, along with his eyelids, until Harry took his hand hard enough to pull him out of his trance.

"It's time for me to act." Harry smiled smugly.

"Didn't you say you couldn't cast the Protector Charm because you had no happy memories? Aren't you happy enough with me?" Harry quipped, his back pressed against Tom's, the silvery stag coming from him. The wand in his hand came out, and the huge antlers pushed away the dementors surrounding the two of them. He rarely had such a leisurely time, and the feeling of fighting with Tom was wonderful. He felt that he would never get tired of it in his life. .

"Why do I need to learn the Guardian Charm?" Tom took the time to kiss Harry's lips, and the latter could feel the upward arc of the tall boy's mouth, and his gentle voice slowly slipped into his ears, "When you are always by my side when?"

"It's so romantic, it's a pity it's not the time." Harry said dryly, easily dodging the spell that came from nowhere, "and I don't think they would like it. At least Bella darling can't wait to paste me on the wall. Decorative paintings."

The character in the story was staring at them fiercely, with long hair disheveled over his shoulders, a cruel smile on his bright red lips, and an aura of madness lingering around him.Her dark gray eyes flicked briefly to Tom's face, a flash of surprise, and Harry noticed her involuntarily touching the Dark Mark, and heaved a sigh of relief, refocusing his attention on the two boys who were ignorant. .As expected, following Bellatrix's order, the hesitant Death Eaters were like vicious dogs seeing bones, all uncertainties were swept away, and they took the lead in attacking.

"How about a bet?" Tom gracefully turned around to avoid a green light, fixed the attacker in place, and shouted back to Harry, "Whoever kills the most Death Eaters will have the right to be a slave for a week. Any request can be fulfilled!"

"As you wish, dear Tom. I'll make sure you enjoy your bondage."

"Too confident, no one can beat me in a duel, my love." Tom easily knocked down a Death Eater, "Actually, I look forward to your performance very much. In just half a minute, I have Five feet of parchment, densely packed with enchanting fantasies."

"If that's what's going to get you a good night's sleep, tell yourself so," said Harry, without looking back, as he was now dueling Bellatrix, whose skill had brought his numbers to a standstill. for a long time.Harry cast a Disillusionment Charm on himself, and appeared behind the witch again. The other was not a character to bully, and turned around almost at the same time, accompanied by the familiar green light.Harry quickly grabbed her arm sideways and pulled it forward, raised his leg and gave a heavy blow to the soft abdomen, then turned over and gave the witch a heavy blow on the back of the neck, he could even hear a clear click.Bellatrix fell hard to the ground.Harry didn't stop attacking the others, and he didn't forget to reply Tom triumphantly in the middle: "But I'm the one who will win."

"Oh?" Tom waved his wand, and the Death Eater in front of Harry suddenly rolled his eyes and passed out, "That's mine."

"That's cheating! I was just a little bit!" Harry complained loudly.

"Your performance makes me think that you have begun to accept the inevitable failure, honey." Tom pulled Harry's arm, and waltzed the boy into his arms, just avoiding a spell, and the two embraced each other Pose to knock down the Death Eater behind the opponent.Tom took another step and pushed Harry away, red light passing over his clasped hands.The Death Eaters who surrounded them yelled in frustration or anger.

"Very well, Tom, your contemptuous behavior has angered them." Harry said angrily, with his left hand still intertwined with someone's fingers, bowing his head to avoid the crushing curse, "It will make it more difficult."

"I like a challenge, dear," Tom said nonchalantly, petrifying the nearest Death Eater, "they're so useless. I can't believe my future self will be open to anyone, at least with Snape Such strength, tsk."

"That crazy woman is tricky, I'd rather they be easier to deal with." Harry cast a huge shield to block the two, allowing Tom to attack the enemy at will.This was a helpless move. When he confronted Bellatrix just now, he couldn't dodge and was cut several times, but it was not a bad deal in exchange for a comatose female Death Eater.Especially considering that the woman was the leader of the attack, he was kind of looking forward to Voldemort's appearance later, the bastard was obviously familiar with the battle, and Harry's scar had been stinging since half a minute ago.The boy glanced at the other Death Eaters whose fighting spirit had been drained by Bellatrix's defeat, and asked casually, "How do you count in this situation? Five to five points?"

"The attack spell came out of my hand."

"Your shamelessness makes me ashamed."

Tom suddenly reached out and pressed Harry into his arms. The place where Harry had been standing was already charred and black.Harry could taste the magic rising in the air, and Tom was angry, badly, and thankful he wasn't the one receiving it.With yet another attacking spell parried away, Tom pushed Harry behind him, and dashed into the darkness like a cheetah. It didn't take long for him to reappear in front of the boy, covered in blood, in the moonlight.

"The last one." Tom tied up the sneak attacking Death Eater and threw it in front of Harry with a smug smile on his face.It's like a dog showing off its bones in front of its owner.A sudden weird idea popped into Harry's mind, and he suppressed the urge to laugh out loud, meeting Tom's expectant eyes.

This looks strangely cute.

"I won." Tom lowered his head and kicked the already bruised Death Eater, reminding Harry of his victory again, "Remember to call me master next week, sweetheart."

"It's a pity." A chilling voice cut in//.Under Tom's horrified gaze, Harry was pulled into his arms by Voldemort, and the tip of his wand was pressed into the boy's carotid artery. The man sneered, "I'm afraid the title of Master will be changed this week."
