"I've heard, Tom. I must say, it was Gryffindor's fault. Although I wasn't there at the time, I think I still owe you an apology." Dumbledore thought Tom was doing it for the last time Slytherin The melee with Gryffindor came.

"No, that's not what I'm here for," said Tom.

Dumbledore lifted the wide sleeve of his nightgown: "Oh? No? Is there any other problem?"

Tom was already upright, but when Dumbledore looked at him, he straightened up unconsciously, so that he could sit upright and have more posture: "I heard that you went to Germany." He suddenly I didn't know what to say, but Nuonuo said a name: "Grindelwald."

As the name was spoken, the look in Dumbledore's eyes receded a bit.His back was slightly bent, as if he was resisting the cramping pain that he didn't know where it came from.

Dumbledore had some misery on his face that he tried his best to conceal: "You have heard. I think many people know that I lost."

"No, I didn't mean to ask this." Tom was a little anxious: "It's just that you know, you know that you will lose, and you may even die. In that case, why go?"

"Am I still alive? Dumbledore said this very lightly. Tom didn't even hear a few vague words. He only heard the second half of Dumbledore's firm words: "Tom, anything will happen." There are risks, some people may get hurt, some people's names may be sacrificed, but you know, as long as this thing is right, it has to be done.Many right and great causes require some sacrifices.So no matter win or lose, life or death, I have to go.At least I am the only one who can face him right now, only me. "

Knowing that you can't do it.Knowing that the road ahead is a dead end, he still rushes forward without hesitation.

Tom didn't know if this was the heart of a child that Lin Ruhai said, but it didn't affect his admiration for Dumbledore at the moment: "You deserve to be respected."

"Respect." Dumbledore seemed to be chewing on these two words: "But I lost, I didn't stop him, and his sex is still going on."

"You stopped him, and we rescued 21 British soldiers. France surrendered, but Britain didn't. We still have the power to fight." Tom's tone was full of youthful vigor.

Dumbledore's eyes were drawn to him and looked at him, but Tom felt that Dumbledore seemed to be looking at something else through himself.

He smiled, but the smile was not as bright and heroic as before. It seemed to be the smile of an old man when he looked at the young flowers in the sun: "Yes, although we lost, we still have the strength to fight."

Tom didn't answer, and both of them were quiet.

I don't know how long the time has passed, Dumbledore sat up straight, although he couldn't hide his sadness, but his tone was as powerful as ever, it seemed that the old man just now was just an illusion of Tom: "I should think about it. Think about it, after all, I still have the strength to fight."

"I heard that you spent all your money to organize the fleet to save nearly 10 people? Tom, you are really good." Dumbledore boasted about Tom, and he was very excited about it.

Tom's posture was already humble, but now he was shy: "This is what I should do. After all, I am also a member of this land."

"Oh, Tom. You don't have to be so humble. You saved almost a third of the soldiers. I think many people thank you. Your action saved not only the young lives on the battlefield but also countless families. .I think you deserve the Medal of Honor for this," said Dumbledore.

Tom narrowed his eyes invisibly: "You know, I didn't do all this for the medal of honor."

It really was an old fox, and Tom even wondered if his despair just now was fake.It seems that Dumbledore has a plan in mind.

Knowing everything that should be known, Tom felt that it was time to leave, and after a few more words, Tom said goodbye and left.Only when he walked to the door, he turned around again, and bowed to Dumbledore who was sitting on the sofa with a courtesy under Dumbledore's questioning eyes.

The Zhou ceremony is a very solemn etiquette, which is different from the usual bowing.

Regardless of whether Dumbledore is doing it for self-interest or for justice, the fact that he challenged Grintworth to fight with his life is worthy of respect.

Dumbledore's failure brought back a respite for Britain in the Dunkirk area, and also bought him a vice-principal position.

As for Tom, his name was known to everyone in the magic world for the first time, and the British government and the magic world each awarded him honors.It has to be said that this honor brought Tom's prestige to another level.

More than a year has passed, and Tom's reading club has become more and more important in Slytherin. Relying on the power of reading in his hand, Tom has already stepped on Tudor's head faintly in Slytherin.

Hans came in from the outside, stood at the door of the lounge and looked inside, but Tom was not there.Holding a roll of parchment in his hand, he walked through the crowd to Tom's room. On the way, some students avoided one after another, and some walked up to talk, but Hans quickly refused and just walked forward. .

This attitude cannot be said to be polite or impolite, after all, most children from pure-blood noble families are the same.But Hans is not, Hans is just a mudblood, but because he follows Tom and is Tom's closest friend, everyone doesn't think this matter is very rude.

Friends, yes, most people think Hans is Tom's closest friend, after all, they are so close, they are always inseparable.

Many people think so.

Only Hans knew, no, this is not true.He was just a minion of Tom, a minion who could be used.But since Tom never explained anything, he himself followed Tom's attitude and refused to explain or explain such speculation.

Standing in front of Tom's door: "Knock, click." After three times, he stood there and waited.

"Come in." Tom was still doing homework, not for Hogwarts, but for Mr. Chen.

Although people came in, Tom still kept his head down and wrote his own.After concentrating on writing, I changed the pen and revised it again, carefully examined it, and then put it aside.

Another piece of paper was spread out, Tom poured some water, and slowly ground it: "What's the matter?"

"Recently, many people have contacted me, expressing their wish to join our reading club. This is their list. The ones outlined in red are the ones I selected, and I hope they can be used as your reference." Hans put the parchment on the side of the table, Then the whole person retreated to the door.

"We will accept two students every three months. As for the list, I will look at it first." Tom didn't even look at it, but picked up the writing pen: "Retire." Hans walked out quietly.

Hans didn't affect Tom's mood at all, he turned around and took out the pen box, and picked one by one.It's been a while, and I'm not satisfied.Tom frowned and didn't care whether it was good or bad. He stuffed all the pens into the box, took the box and went back to Lin's house.

"Master." Seeing Tom enter the door, Nong Ping hastened to wait on him. As a result, he opened the box in Tom's hand and took a closer look: "Why is this excellent lake pen so dirty? But someone provoked me, sir..."

Nong Ping was given by Jia Min, and Tom is used to it. At this time, I don’t think she is too strict with her words, but I just listened impatiently: "I made it myself, this one is not easy to use. I will go to pay my father's attention, you Go get some pens and show me."

"The master is still in the yamen, and he hasn't come back yet." Nong Ping could see his face clearly, and Tom himself said nothing was wrong, so Nong Ping naturally didn't say anything more.

Tom nodded.Nong Ping waited on and changed clothes, and Tom went to Mr. Chen's class.

After the lessons were taught, Tom went to the main courtyard.

"Master is here." Nanny Lin greeted him.

Tom entered the room, looked around, frowned and asked, "Father hasn't come back yet?"

Nanny Lin's tone was a little heavy: "Master just sent someone back, saying that he will not come back after resting at the yamen at night, let uncle rest well, don't worry about him."

How could Tom not be worried: "Are you still taking the medicinal diet prescribed by the doctor? Have you asked Dr. Zhang to check your pulse recently? What did the doctor say?"

"I have been eating, but my master's appetite has not been very good, and the amount of food is not as good as before. Dr. Zhang came to see him every few days, and said that the master's pulse is worse than before, but he is still a little weak, and he is still thinking too much. You have to let go of your mind, otherwise the illness will never get better." Nanny Lin was the dowry of Lin Ruhai's mother, and she has been in the Lin family for so many years, watching Lin Ruhai grow up.Seeing Lin Ruhai like this now makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Tom knew that Lin Ruhai might let go of his heart, so he just left with a sullen face.

Nanny Lin sent Tom out, and asked the girl to shine a light on the front to send him back to her yard.

Back in the yard, Tom took a box of pens and a pack of prepared clothes before turning around and going to Daiyu's place.
