v2 Chapter 178： Dumbledore's mission

The day of the draw at Hogwarts https://

When Tom came up with this idea, he had no idea of ​​using Occlumency at all, and stared straight into Dumbledore's eyes. He just wanted to express his dissatisfaction.

Why? Hermione, huddled up like a frightened bunny, was the best reason.

"Professor, you can always show up in unexpected places," Tom felt that his face should be worse than when Snape saw Harry with his eyes closed in the Potions classroom. "In this kind of clothes, Aren't you afraid of Muggle suspicion?"

"In recent years, Muggles have become more tolerant of people in strange clothes, which also facilitates the activities of wizards." Dumbledore's eyes swept over the strings on Tom and Hermione's wrists, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Imperceptible joy, "It seems that you and Miss Granger spent a fulfilling summer vacation together."

Tom suddenly became alert: Dumbledore, this bad old man, is not trying to do what the head teacher wants to do, right? He began to recall the Hogwarts rules in his mind, to see if there was an entry in the rules about romance. 877 Chinese

"I'm very pleased that you can understand the magic of love." Dumbledore didn't mean to trouble Tom, he just felt relieved and relieved - this time he didn't cause another disaster.

Dumbledore has two knots in his heart. One is that he was young and frivolous when he was young, and that he got too close to Grindelwald, eventually killing his sister; the other was watching Tom Riddle rise up and become a new generation of Dark Lord.

When Tom Yodel entered school, it attracted Dumbledore's attention. For some of the "cross-border" behaviors of little Tom, Dumbledore can be said to turn a blind eye and only give guidance in the dark. Today, when he saw the strings in Tom and Hermione's hands, he could finally feel relieved.

There is a very profound magic in those two strings, which is called "love". Magic is based on emotions, such as the Patronus Charm, which is conceived by happiness and protection, and the Unforgivable Charm, which uses the dark emotions in people's hearts to have power. And the magic born out of love is the most mysterious, powerful, and can even deflect Voldemort's Killing Curse, and it will remain in effect for the next seventeen years. Even Dumbledore dared not say he knew the magic of love. But he knew that wizards who had learned the magic of love would not go the way of the Dark Lord.

Now that Tom and Hermione have made such a happy change, Dumbledore decides...

Put more burdens on them!

So he appeared and broke into the world of Tom and Hermione.

"Can you do me a little favor?" he said with a smile.

"No." Tom rejected Dumbledore succinctly. He knew very well that Dumbledore's quests were like cockroaches in the kitchen, and when he gave you the first quest, there were hundreds of quests already prepared.

Once he takes over, he will become a hard-working tool just like Senior Newt. Tom didn't want to be a tool man, he just wanted to go to school happily at Hogwarts with Hermione. The task of saving the magical world, then leave it to the boy who survived.

In a word, salted fish makes me happy!

Hermione had no problem with helping Professor Dumbledore accomplish a few things, but since Tom refused, she was too embarrassed to say more.

"Of course, then let's talk about Dr. Hal Hunt's expedition in Egypt." Dumbledore took out a Muggle "Daily Telegraph" and pointed to the headline.

Tom & Hermione:  …

Tom sighed secretly, it seemed that Dumbledore had mastered the essence of communicating with him.

"Everything is an exchange of equal value." Tom comforted himself.

Dumbledore saw that Tom was as "beautiful" as the husky who was blocked in the corner after the house was demolished, and knew that he could communicate in the next step.

"Actually, it's just a small matter. I don't know if you are willing to help me, this poor old man." Dumbledore sat on the small sofa, like a grandfather who was chatting with his grandchildren.

"It's Harry," this time Dumbledore revealed the specifics of the mission without waiting for the two to react, "I need the two of you to help me protect him."

Next, Dumbledore explained the relationship between Sirius and Harry Potter in short words to Tom and Hermione. Hermione was astonished when she found out that the lunatic Sirius was targeting Harry. At the same time, she found a small problem: is this task out of line?

It was a dark wizard who escaped from Azkaban, a loyal servant of Voldemort, a lunatic who cursed to kill twelve people. Can they really protect Harry from his attack?

Although Hermione had confidence in Tom's strength, she didn't want to put him at risk. So she refuted Dumbledore very rarely - she herself couldn't believe she actually made this move.

"Is this a little too dangerous?"

Dumbledore glanced at her with interest Not for you to go immediately, but to follow him as he made his way to King's Cross. "

The task seemed very easy, and Tom and Hermione had no reason to decline.

So Tom took over Dumbledore's task.

After the two sides talked, Dumbledore stood up contentedly and blinked at Hermione before leaving, "The weather in Scotland will get colder after school starts, so I recommend velvet socks. Of course, I actually prefer I would like to recommend wool socks to you, but Mr. Yodell probably doesn't like them." www.8㈦㈦zw.℃οm

Tom: I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!

Hermione also lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Professor Dumbledore. She felt that the little abacus in her heart seemed to be seen through by the old man.

After teasing the young couple, Dumbledore was in a good mood. Looking at the energetic two, Dumbledore felt as if he was much younger, and his pace when he left seemed to be a little brisk. Soon, Dumbledore's tall figure disappeared from the crowd.

After Dumbledore had left for a long time, Tom and the others came out of the shop.

Dumbledore's sudden appearance did make their mood fluctuate a bit, but Hermione's mood gradually improved after visiting a few stores. She frequently went back and forth between the dressing room and the hanger, picking out different styles from it. of clothes, each of which was put into a shopping bag with a two-digit "elimination" on the back. m.⑧柒7zω.°CoM

Soon, Tom was full of shopping bags big and small, and he even had to quietly stuff some clothes into the enchanted bag.

When she got home, Hermione was completely back to normal. She threw off the little leather shoes on her feet at the door and ran upstairs to the bedroom to change her clothes.
