[Comprehensive British and American] Extraordinary

"This is your strategy?" Amanda said in a low voice. They are in the library now. Tom pretended to be discussing the subject with her, and Amanda couldn't allow him to refuse. "Why don't I feel like this is what we agreed on?"

Tom was flipping through a book, his expression remained unchanged, and he said in the same low voice: "If that's the case, they will think that we are deliberately avoiding them, and maybe they will be more curious. Rather than avoiding deliberately, it is better to be generous. Let them see, I don't think any other couple will get along like us."

Amanda was noncommittal about this, "It's really interesting. We used to deliberately pretend that we didn't know each other at all in front of people, but in fact we often met in secret. Now, we have to meet in a fair manner. I'm not sure if we can meet. adapt?"

Tom pushed his parchment to Amanda, and although it looked like they were discussing their lessons, they were actually looking for the Chamber of Secrets that Slytherin had left behind.

This is what surprised Amanda.

Tom actually offered to bring up the Chamber of Secrets, even though he said at the time: "If there is anything left in the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin that can be exchanged for the inheritance of Galleons, I think you will also be very happy to see a rich return to your funding." Payback, no?"

But he is indeed inviting her to find the secret room, which is really a great improvement for Tom, who has always been very concerned about his life experience and never actively asked her for help before.

Amanda readily agreed.

Well, they became sneaky on another level.

"I'm curious, how did you find the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor of the castle?" Tom sat across from Amanda, only across a desk, and he could clearly see her long and curly eyelashes.

"Maybe you should take a look at this." Amanda didn't answer Tom's question directly, and took out a map from her schoolbag, the topographic map of Hogwarts, "I think this should give you some inspiration. "

The location distribution map was marked on it in detail, and even the portraits on the wall were marked. Tom took out his wand and made a copy, "I think this is very useful."

Amanda went to the library to find books she hadn't read according to the list of books listed on the parchment given by Tom.From the library, you can see the Quidditch pitch not far away. The Ravenclaw team is training outside. Amanda looked out and then looked away.As it happened, she found one of them, but it was on the top shelf, and Amanda was about to pull out her wand and use the Flying Charm.A hand stretched out behind him and pulled out the book.

"Are you a ghost? Why are you walking so quietly?" Amanda turned around and raised her eyebrows to look at Tom, who was already half a head taller than her.Tom sneered: "I thought I could at least get a "thank you". Why don't I put the book back and let you do it yourself." He leaned forward, pressed one hand on the bookshelf, and put the book back with the other hand holding the book.

Amanda retorted: "If you hadn't intervened, I believe that book would already be in my hands." She was only focused on arguing with Tom, and didn't notice how ambiguous their posture is now—she was leaning on the bookshelf, Tom, who was half a head taller than her, pressed one hand on the bookshelf, and he leaned forward on himself, almost enclosing her between him and the bookshelf.From a distance, others can't hear what they are saying, but just looking at them will unconsciously think that they want to kiss something.

Tom glanced at Rufus Thickness who was looking this way from the corner of his eye. He lowered his head and continued to chat with Amanda: "If you want to show off your silent spell, I have no objection, please." He said, wanting to get out of the way, "But before that, let me remind you that there is more than one book in the library."

Amanda was so deflated that she took a deep breath, "If you are a commendable gentleman, please take that book down for me, thank you."

"My pleasure, ma'am." Tom reached out and took the book down and handed it to Amanda, and at the same time stepped aside without a trace, letting Amanda go.Tom's eyes were extremely deep, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a wicked smile.

Although Tom seized the city by virtue of his height advantage, Amanda gloated and thought that when he found the entrance to the Slytherin chamber, he would be proud of it.

Maybe the strategy Tom said was really effective. After a while, those whispers and probing eyes disappeared.

Amanda frowned, she still felt that something was wrong.

When she attended the Slug Club meeting again, she was about to say hello to Rufus Thicknesse, but the other party subconsciously avoided her sight and pretended to talk to someone else.Amanda frowned, remembering that since the scandal, Thickness, who had been pursuing her, never came to her again.What is it now, avoiding her like a snake?

"Hill, I have made some progress on the topic we discussed last time. How about we continue to discuss it in the library?" Tom asked politely, without even looking at Thickness, Watching Amanda intently.

After Amanda agreed, Tom caught Thickness's gaze, nodded to him very politely, and then looked away.

Malfoy took this scene into his eyes and smiled playfully. His junior was a veritable Slytherin, and they rarely couldn't get what they wanted.

After avoiding the crowd, Amanda lowered her voice and said, "I thought our show was over."

Tom replied slowly: "There must be a gradual process, not to mention am I wrong? Our research topic is not over, do you want to give up halfway?"

"You reminded me that I have some questions about our research topic, Riddle." Amanda dropped this sentence lightly, and stopped whispering to Tom.

Tom is good at what he does.

Libraries are not so secretive about their research topics, so they still meet in the Room of Requirement.

"You and I both know why Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts in the first place." Slytherin believed that magical education should only be limited to pure magical families, that is, pure blood, and could not convince the other three founders , he left Hogwarts. "Look at the rumors we found about the Chamber of Secrets. Only the true heir can open the Chamber of Secrets, release the horrible things inside, and then clear the school of those who, in Slytherin's opinion, are not worthy of learning magic, that is, Muggle-born people."

"Well, assuming you don't want to inherit the behest of your ancestors, otherwise, I'm helping myself to a dead end." Amanda stared at Tom with burning eyes, and Tom didn't hide or dodge, speaking in a slow tone : "I thought that I took the initiative to ask for your help, which is enough to explain my attitude."

"I always thought you hated me enough to kill me," Amanda shrugged. "After all, I know you, Heir of Slytherin, are not pure-blood. It's kind of ironic, isn't it?"

"Hmph!" Tom snorted heavily, "If you're testing me, I advise you not to try again. I won't be so short-sighted as to advocate pure-blood theory."

The entire British wizarding community is less than 2000 people. Pure-blood wizards, heh, can account for one-third thanks to Merlin. There are only a few hundred people. The number of workers employed by the Hill family is even more than that.

"What should I say? Thank you, Your Highness, for your wise enlightenment?" Amanda's tone of admiration received a sideways look from Tom. She raised the corner of her mouth and continued, "Next, only Slytherin lives in the Chamber of Secrets." What's your opinion on the monsters that can only be controlled by the heirs of your family?"

"The basilisk, I think the most likely one is the basilisk. According to records, the basilisk can live for hundreds of years. If you look at the basilisk, you will die immediately. Combined with the unique Parseltongue of the descendants of Slytherin, The basilisk is undoubtedly the first choice." Tom analyzed clearly.

"It seems that we have reached a consensus on this point. Maybe you can try to hiss into the ventilation duct, maybe you can contact the basilisk and let it tell you the entrance to the secret room." Amanda pretended to suggest .

Tom cleared his throat. "Actually, I think I know the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets."

Amanda pretended to be listening.

Tom didn't say it, but pointed to the topographic map of Hogwarts to show Amanda.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're referring to the ladies' bathroom on the second floor of Hogwarts." Amanda insisted on getting Tom to admit that Slytherin built the entrance to the chamber of secrets in the ladies' bathroom.

"That's right, no one would have thought that Slytherin would surprise and build the entrance to the chamber of secrets in the ladies' bathroom, so the entrance to the chamber of secrets was not found during countless searches in the school." Tom said after the initial embarrassment , and quickly found the usual calm and breezy, and found a very reasonable reason for Salazar Slytherin.

The smiles in Amanda's eyes pooled, and she asked: "So, in order to verify the accuracy of this speculation, you have to go to the ladies' bathroom on the second floor to verify it yourself? I have to say, it will be a very memorable one." Experience."

"Cough, I'm sorry, haha—" Amanda couldn't help laughing out loud, "I just can't imagine that kind of picture, you know."

Tom said grimly, "You come with me."

Amanda's laughter stopped abruptly, she sat up straight, and said with a half-smile: "It seems that you haven't given up on killing me, have you? Unfortunately, I personally regret my life and don't want to go with you Adventure; not to mention, if I were seen in the ladies' bathroom with you... that would be wonderful."

Amanda silently added: "I'd rather see you in the ladies' bathroom alone than this, I mean it, Tom."
