Harry had never been more grateful for the looming final exams.Because it held Ron and Hermione's attention so completely that no one noticed his wandering mind and the red marks all over his body under his robes.

The thrill of being hit from the inside out was strangely intense and haunting, not to mention his longing to be fully aroused but not fully satisfied.After the Patronus turned into a basilisk, he didn't expect Tom's reaction at all; however, after being treated in this way, he also didn't expect that he was not enough.

All in all, that night had far exceeded Harry's expectations.If he had to say something about his dissatisfaction, it could only be that he could have enjoyed it better—as long as Tom was willing to give it to him.

Isn't that guy usually quite tough?Why did he just say that in the classroom, the other party strictly controlled the bottom line?Or did Tom genuinely think the classroom was inappropriate?

But what other suitable place is there in the school?What's more, after the exam, the last event of the Triwizard Tournament was immediately followed, and there was a holiday after the competition.By then no one will see, let alone...

Suddenly, he realized that he was seriously considering when their intimacy could take a step further, and Harry's thoughts suddenly froze.

It's all Tom's fault!Let him taste the marrow and taste, but refuse to give him real pleasure!

He thought with shame and anger.

In order to quickly get rid of the pornographic thoughts in his head, and to increase his chances of winning in the maze, Harry also stayed in the library when other students were nervously reviewing.He taught himself two more spells that might be useful, and by the way, flipped through books about the Patronus Charm——

As mentioned above, things like Patronus changes sometimes happen.For example, a big blow, or a drastic emotional change.

Harry didn't even need to see the third reason to figure it out.In recent months, he has had Tom all over his head, and the Patronus turning into a basilisk is completely predictable.Tom must have known the reason, so he...

stop!stop now!

Harry yelled to himself in a panic, not wanting Ron and Hermione to catch him blushing suspiciously while reading a book.He should think about something else, like—

What is Tom's Patronus?

Harry doubted it, if there was one, it must be a big snake.

In addition, Tom's first reaction at the time was to kiss him instead of questioning him. Does it mean that Tom already knew that he had guessed it and tacitly agreed that the basilisk was related to him?

Harry thought about it, then recalled the Marauder's Map that he wanted to come back easily, and had to admit that it was very possible.

That also implies that Tom knew that Harry blew up the women's bathroom for the secret room that was most likely hidden underneath.

The monster in the Chamber of Secrets was unmistakably a basilisk; since Tom indulged Harry in investigating, was he convinced that Harry couldn't deal with a basilisk?Or, since the traces of the Basilisk appeared in the Forbidden Forest a long time ago, does it mean that it has been taken out of the castle by Tom?Even if Harry finally finds the Chamber of Secrets, he can only find himself in some dark, damp, empty room?

Harry didn't know which one was the correct answer.However, considering that the restoration project of the women's bathroom is not small and the maintenance work can only be carried out during the summer vacation, he can still sneak in to investigate before and after the third project according to the original plan.

Meanwhile, Tom is on his way to his last class of the year.

Although the pace of the OWLs exam was so close that it couldn't be closer, he was still able to handle it with ease, in stark contrast to his peers who were so nervous that they were mentally weak and so busy that they didn't touch the ground.Everyone thought that he could get twelve "O"s in the exam, but he felt that the result was so obvious that he didn't even need half a predictive ability.

Therefore, his current thoughts have extended to the summer vacation——

First and foremost, get rid of the things he wanted to do before Christmas.Solving the mystery of his life experience is obviously more important than wasting time at the ball.Of course, he had found some useful clues, and they all pointed to Little Hangleton.Whoever he ran into there, he was prepared.

After that, he had to make a trip to Diagon Alley.Now that Ollivander sold two twin wands and his shop is more than 2000 years old, the wandmaker should know something no one else does.He also needed more information about the supposedly invincible wand in the Deathly Hallows.

He would not consider showing up at their secret little gathering until those two things were settled.It was true that those people almost believed that he was the heir of Slytherin, and the only son of the Minister of Magic was still firmly standing up for him, but these were not enough.He's underage, and those pure-blooded old tricksters have a habit of putting their own best interests first.If he wasn't strong enough for them to follow, or if they didn't think they could gain anything, things wouldn't go the way he envisioned...

Tom's thoughts drifted farther and farther until he entered the Potions classroom.He was a little late, but no one dared to compete with him for the best seat.He walked to the center of the classroom without squinting, and was just about to sit down, but the tip of his nose keenly caught a faint breath——

A bit of sour wood smell, the comforting humidity of rainstorms, and the smell of bubble bath in the prefect's bathroom...

Tom looked down at his yew wand, then at the lectern.Slughorn had arrived, and was trying to arrange the three cauldrons of different sizes in front of him.

In the pot on the left, it seems that only clear water is tumbling—Teritaserum; in the middle, a golden liquid jumps out of the water like a swimming fish—Felix Elixir; And glowing with a mother-of-pearl luster——

Oh, the love potion.

No wonder.

Tom knew why he smelled the first two.The yew had an indistinct sour smell, and the first time he saw the Hogwarts castle spire from afar, it was raining heavily outside.

The weird part was about the prefect's bathroom: he admitted that the bubble bath was a nice treat, but he could have sworn to Merlin that he wasn't obsessed with it.

As he sat down slowly, muttering to himself, Tom smelled more—

Icy and cold, with the breath of the pine forest at night, it is the snow falling on the top of the astronomical tower;

It is hot, bloody, tastes salty and astringent, and it is a drop of blood bitten from the lips;

Tears fell in the dull and dark dust, and the charming breath floated up...

In the ensuing, bittersweet taste of Easter chocolate candies, Tom slowly closed his eyes.

He needs no more hints.

He felt that he had chosen a good place for Harry, and put it carefully on the shelf like his previous personal collection, taking it out to play with.But in fact, the premonition of danger that had been screaming in his head for a long time was exactly what he believed he didn't have, and he was never willing to face the fact that he did.

He actually liked Harry.

He actually took the initiative to find a weakness for himself... Weakness, defect, flaw, or any other similar words can be used to describe it...

It doesn't seem to affect the overall situation at the moment, but what about after they graduate?A boy whose parents are both Aurors, with an absolute sense of justice, who can know the Patronus Charm in the third grade, is essentially the exact opposite type of person...

The class bell rang, and Slughorn began to speak, as if he wanted to use three precious potions to encourage students to do well in the upcoming exams.But Tom didn't catch a syllable: he had to figure out how to do it.

One clean break?

This is the simplest and most effective way, and it also appeared in his mind the fastest.However, it was downvoted as fast as it came out --

Because he found himself unwilling to imagine the next development at all.

Impossible, he must get what he wants, and never give up!

In this way, there is only one option left——

He must do something to close this loophole before his enemies find out... No matter who it is, Harry cannot threaten him... If life is the benchmark, then only...

A new plan was taking shape in Tom's head.It's bold and very risky, but once and for all, it's worth a try.

Directly in front of him, Slughorn shuddered involuntarily, but concealed it well.He had never seen Tom showing such an expression now—it seemed to be smiling, but if he looked carefully, he could find the hidden imperative, the omnipotent imperative—

Thinking of that drop of fresh basilisk venom, he dared to swear on his life that he really didn't know what his once favorite student was thinking and planning to do.

Tom was unaware of Slughorn's unusual reaction.To be more precise, since he dared to indulge his mind-wandering in Potions class, he had already anticipated everything that might happen next—whether he could notice it or not, in order to preserve his future comfort and enjoyment, their dear headmaster would pretend to be I don't know anything about myself.

It's just a pawn that has lost its usefulness and knows how to stay out of the way. Tom doesn't care at all.By now, he had begun to consider whether his gaffe when he saw Harry's Basilisk Patronus needed to be undone.

Yes, gaffe.When he brought up the subject of the Patronus, his intention was pure, to verify Harry's magical strength.However, even Harry didn't know that his Patronus had changed, let alone predict it.He was so shocked that he forgot to hide himself.As a result of his lack of control, he nearly impaled the Gryffindor boy under him at school, right under Dumbledore's nose.

The time wasn't right and the place wasn't right, but that wasn't to say he didn't want to thoroughly enjoy the boy.No doubt the boy agreed with him on this point, so the next part couldn't be a problem.

The only problem was that he didn't ask Harry why when he saw the Basilisk Patronus.It was tantamount to tacitly acquiescing that he was a Parseltongue, that everything the Basilisk did was ordered by him, and that he knew what Harry was doing quietly, and that Harry must have figured it out when he calmed down.

Under such circumstances, would Harry continue to investigate the loopholes he deliberately exposed before?Would the Gryffindor boy have guessed that there might be a trap under the ladies' room and just waited for him to jump himself?According to the best possible estimate, at most it will return without success?

Tom was sure that in his place he would have immediately canceled any plans for a ladies' room.However, given Harry's polar opposite personality, he should have assumed that the Gryffindor boy would have no hesitation in continuing, and probably not thinking of staying behind.

Although when Tom returned the Marauder's Map to Harry, he already wanted to see how far the other party could find out, but it has to be said that most of the elements were tests.If Harry could actually prove that he could be trusted—the Basilisk Patronus was one—then he'd bought himself the chance to know more.

Tom has always guarded his secrets carefully, watching the timing carefully, and entrusting a small part of them to very few people.There are some risks, he understands; but he hopes that Harry knows clearly at this moment that this is a one-way road, and no one can turn back.
