The Handsome Dark Lord[Comprehensive]

Harry tried to control the rush of blood, and secretly thanked Tom that he couldn't see his face.

"Um...hi." He said awkwardly.I don't know how to start a phone conversation.

Fortunately, Tom is very good at this, and easily took over the non-existent topic: "I didn't expect it to be you..." Without waiting for Harry to be puzzled, he continued to explain, "Today is not the weekend, I thought you should be on the campus where there is no signal ?”

Boarding students generally only have Tom sharp on the weekends.Harry could only vaguely say, "Well... I accidentally discovered that a corner of the school can receive a signal. So the problem is solved."

Tom didn't look into it, but said softly, "You must have had a hard time finding it."

That is the truth.Even though it was the last time.Harry was still secretly amazed at his intelligence and thoughtfulness, and a little happy to be understood.

He smiled shyly, "It's okay."

Tom changed the subject: "It's noon, I assume you've eaten?"

Harry: "Uh..."

Having just had an adventure, he didn't even think about lunch.

"Very well, you didn't eat well." Tom affirmed.

Harry asked in embarrassment, "Are you reading minds?"

"Perhaps," said Tom without hesitation, "go and eat, Harry. I think there's usually some leftovers from the school canteen right now."

"That doesn't sound delicious," Harry complained.

"You have no choice," said Tom cruelly.

Harry got out of bed, realized he was really hungry, and decided to follow Tom's advice, but he knew there was a good place, and said triumphantly, "No, actually I have."

Tom: "Oh?"

Harry was mysterious: "I know where the school's back kitchen is."

Tom laughed in a low voice: "Unruly Mr. Potter, how could I forget."

Harry walked out of the dormitory and said enthusiastically, "This is the fine tradition of Gryffindor."

It was only after he said the words that he realized something was wrong, and he froze in place in shock.

Fortunately, Tom was only silent for a moment, "... Gryffindor?" It sounded normal.

"Uh, yes, it's the name of our house..." Harry pursed his dry lips, realizing that not everything would be associated with magic, he worded his words carefully, "There are four houses in our school, I am Gryffindors, Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs and Slytherins..."

Tom: "What's the difference between you?"

Harry thought about it, and felt that this could be said, "Probably the beliefs are different. Gryffindor is more advocating bravery, Ravenclaw is more fond of knowledge, Hufflepuff tends to keep a low profile, Slytherin... I I think they are more insidious and cunning, but they claim to respect authority."

"If what they say is true, I think I appreciate Slytherin more," said Tom.

Harry curled his lips and continued to walk out, "I knew it."

His response piqued Tom's interest, "You know?" It was the first time he had shown obvious curiosity.

Harry said triumphantly as he went downstairs: "You have that kind of aura about you...I felt that way when I first went to your house."

Tom was slightly surprised, if Harry could see that - "But you don't like Slytherins."

Harry looked up, "You're different... you talk like you're really a Slytherin!"

Tom seemed to be smiling over the phone.

As the conversation continued, Harry found that many aspects of Hogwarts seemed to be no different from Muggle schools except magic, and he had many things to share with Tom.As soon as this idea was opened, Harry immediately became chatty, and he went all the way to the Gryffindor common room without finishing the topic.

Near the sofa in the center of the lounge, Hermione and Ron were still discussing the twins' heroic deeds against Umbridge in public.

Tom heard the noisy background sound from the phone, and said with a little disgust: "Your college is really noisy."

Harry said tolerantly: "It's not their fault. A very happy event just happened. The most unpopular school leader in history was embarrassingly resisted by the senior students who are about to graduate. Everyone's resentment can be regarded as vented... "

"Hey! Harry!" Dean waved at him, "Did you see the Weasley twins just now?"

"Sorry, Dean, I have something to do right now." Harry pointed to the phone next to his ear, waved his hand at him, and turned to Hermione and Ron, "Would you like something to eat?"

Hermione looked at Ron, and both of them noticed the mobile phone next to his ear and the bright smile on his face that couldn't be ignored. They comprehended the situation instantly with a tacit understanding, and winked at him together: "You go first, Harry."

Harry's mind was on the other end of the phone, he nodded and walked towards the exit of the lounge without thinking too much.He heard Ron's voice explaining to Dean: "Harry has recently become fond of Muggle items, and my dad said he plans to graduate and work for the Misuse of Muggle Items Department..."

Harry covered the phone's receiver to prevent Tom from hearing clearly, while thanking Ron in his heart.He hadn't even known that Ron had an occasional gift for keeping secrets, which was a plausible explanation, if Harry's own ambitions were aside.

He emerged from behind the portrait of the fat woman, and as he went downstairs he couldn't help telling Tom the Muggle version of the twin story.

"...they are geniuses at pranks, Tom!" Harry said, his voice raised slightly, "Umbridge's expression at that time was so wonderful, I really want you to see it too!"

"You'd better keep your voice down, Potter."

Malfoy's voice stopped him ahead.

"If it's not me who patrols, you will be fined and locked up."

Harry stopped in his tracks, put his phone away subconsciously, and looked at Malfoy in embarrassment.The other party's pointed face was still abnormally pale, but it seemed healthier than last time.

"Uh... thanks for the reminder," Harry said dryly.

Malfoy was courting him, but Harry wasn't quite ready to make it right.To be honest, he didn't know how to face this former enemy. It was true that he promised to warn him when he saw the life of the Malfoy family in danger, but that was only in the most basic humanitarian spirit.In other words, if it had been anyone, not Malfoy, even Snape, he would have said yes.But this does not mean that the years of grudges between them can be written off.

"...can I go?" said Harry at last.

He figured the best he could do was ignore it.It seemed that Malfoy had similar thoughts, he looked away unwilling to say more, and made way for him.

Harry walked a long way before taking out his phone again.

This time he controlled his voice much softer, and kept paying attention to his surroundings.

"Are you still there, Tom?" he asked apologetically.

"Hmm." The voice didn't sound dissatisfied, and Harry breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm sorry, I suddenly met my deadly enemy just now..." He briefly explained his relationship with Malfoy.

"...Maybe you need to teach him a lesson," said Tom lowly.

Harry went all the way down to the bottom, and said with a hey smile, "No need. He has asked me for something recently, and he doesn't dare to be presumptuous at all... Speaking of which, it's not just him, but also the other Slytherins who didn't like me in the past. For some reason, I suddenly stopped finding fault."

There was a hint of a smile in the voice on the other end of the phone: "Isn't it a good thing?"

"Is it... just, kind of weird?" Harry shrugged, though Tom couldn't see it.He stopped in front of the hanging picture of the silver plate of fruit, realizing that the voices in the kitchen were not suitable for Muggles to hear, and said with some regret, "I'm here, Tom."

Tom reacted quickly: "Eat more meat and starch."

"Hmm..." Harry dawdled to hang up, but his stomach began to protest.

"That's it." Tom offered to end it, and Harry sometimes really suspected that he planted roundworms in his stomach, "Call me next time you are full."

Harry hung up the phone dumbfounded, Tom always likes to make unexpected agreements at the last minute.However, the curvature of his mouth quickly turned into a sweet smile, and he was in a good mood for the meaningless call just now.

He reached out and scratched the painted pear, took the handle it had turned into and walked into the kitchen, deciding to have a good meal and not think about the failed spell for a while.Magical or not, Tom is determined to do everything in his power to protect him.

The heroic deeds of the twins left an indelible impression on the students of Hogwarts. According to the "hints" left by them on the spot, whether they were present at the time or not, the students all pretended that they were coughing due to smoke inhalation and could not function normally. Attend class.Umbridge and Filch had no choice but to grit their teeth and give them a break.Harry, Ron and Hermione are also in the ranks.

"I thought you'd stick with your lessons," Ron said to Hermione.

They were sitting on the lawn in front of the castle, and it was rare that they hadn't been dragged to the library by Hermione.

Hermione said: "The recent lessons are all reviewing, and I can finish it in the library by myself." She looked at the two friends sternly, "Let's rest for another 10 minutes, and then go to the library."

Harry and Ron groaned in pain.Hermione was unmoved.

Harry was reviewing spells in the library until the evening, and Hermione finally mercifully agreed to Ron's proposal to eat.At the dinner table, they joined the discussion around the twins' will against Umbridge.

"I don't know how they did it, even Peeves helped them tease Umbridge! We can also find a way to cooperate with the ghost armor!"

"But I think the armor will be removed by Filch, and I don't want to hurt them."

"Hey, if the twins think the same way we can't see Umbridge making a fool of himself!"

"Makes sense. But maybe we can just look for ghosts..."

"There's only so much the ghosts can do, they can't touch us."

"Guys, we should support the twins business and buy a bunch of joke merch to share."

"Yes, their products are very creative, and many of them can be used to deal with Umbridge. I still have a lot of pocket money this month, so I can buy them one by one and try them out."

"Me too, it just so happens that the Easter holiday is here, we can go together!"

Ron couldn't help but look sideways when he heard the pocket money, and then lowered his head and stuffed the pumpkin pie with a sleepy expression.

Harry felt a little sorry, especially when he learned that Arthur was about to lose his current position at the meeting of the Order of the Phoenix.He was very worried about whether Mr. Weasley would get another position that would be enough to support his family, but politics was really not his field of wisdom, and he could only pray in his heart that the bunch of plans discussed by the Order of the Phoenix to keep Arthur would work.

On the last day before the Easter break, Hermione finally pulled Harry and Ron out of the library.

Ron was overjoyed: "Did you take the wrong medicine, Hermione?"

Hermione: "Even I approve of the work-rest approach to learning, Ron."

Harry also found it incredible, but he was no more surprised than Ron, who was supposed to have the first extra-curricular class of Apparation with Sirius this afternoon.

"I'm afraid I'm going to be Hermione again," he said in a miserable tone, but his heart was full of anticipation.
