"Yordle, it's time to discuss compensation." Dumbledore's expression was indifferent, but his tone was firm.
Tom:!
"Ah, does this need to be compensated?" He began to pretend to be stupid.
Dumbledore looked at him so calmly until Tom bowed his head in guilt.
"Okay, okay, I'll pay for it." Tom bowed his head and confessed. He thought about it carefully, and felt that it made sense: accidentally damaged the school's facilities, it seemed that he really had to lose money. It's just that many schools will waive compensation.
"But, Professor Dumbledore," Tom suddenly raised his head, looked at Dumbledore, and said seriously, "Please inform the whole school! How much money do you need?"
Dumbledore was almost amused by Tom.
"It doesn't cost much... It's not about money either - I'm really curious about how you did it." Dumbledore looked at the hole in the floor that ran through two floors, and was amazed.
"This kind of situation is really rare..." he said, pulling out his wand. Tom's eyes widened when he saw Dumbledore's wand: Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand!
The legendary Deathly Hallows Elder Wand!
"Repair as before!" Dumbledore cast a repairing spell to mend the hole in the floor.
Hermione, Harry: ...
It looks so simple, doesn't it?
Dumbledore seemed to have seen through the inner thoughts of the two little wizards, so he explained a little for them. Only then did they understand that this repair seemed simple, but it required both Dumbledore, a powerful wizard, and a powerful wand, the Elder Wand. The combination of the two can easily repair the floor.
Tom was a little uneasy for a while, he didn't know how Dumbledore would punish him - he was not afraid of fines, and Tom had made a fortune since impersonating Lockhart, and he was not short of money. But Dumbledore made it clear that it wasn't about money.
Problems that cannot be solved with money are often difficult.
Tom was a little worried, and Dumbledore deducted points from Ravenclaw. It's not that he is possessed by Hermione, but because Ravenclaw really has a chance to hit the Academy Cup this year.
If at this critical juncture, a large number of points were deducted for no reason, Tom would be able to appreciate the cold violence of Ravenclaw Academy.
The situation of being hostile is not good! In the original world line, Tom remembered clearly what happened after Harry was arrested for sending a fire dragon in the first grade and deducted a few hundred points from Gryffindor. In those days, not a single Gryffindor student - except for the comrades who committed the crime - was willing to pay attention to Harry, and even in the Quidditch team, everyone would refer to him with "that Seeker" instead.
If Harry hadn't turned the tide at the end of the period, sent Quirrell away, thwarted Voldemort's conspiracy, and earned a few hundred more points for this, Harry Potter would probably have died completely at Hogwarts.
Tom couldn't imagine what would happen if Ravenclaw was deducted a lot of points from himself. Hogwarts didn't have a second Quirrell waiting to be unplugged! The main character of Hogwarts this year, Sirius, is gone. Where can I earn points?
Just when Tom was uneasy, Dumbledore spoke: "Yordle, your punishment, I haven't thought about it yet. This time the punishment is written down first, and I will notify you when I think about it."
Tom: …
Does this still work? For a moment, Tom couldn't understand what medicine was sold in Dumbledore's gourd.
"Go back and rest first." Dumbledore didn't explain, but just sent the confused people away.
Harry, Tom, and Hermione were on the way, but before the three had walked a few steps, they heard Professor McGonagall's voice from upstairs.
"Are you two ready for the o.w.l.s exam? Don't study in the middle of the night, don't sleep, but hang out in the school..."
The three of them understood immediately: a student was caught out for a night tour in the middle of the night.
I don't know which unlucky one is, but from the perspective of "you two", the probability is...
Sure enough, it was Fred and George.
When they saw Tom and the three coming, their eyes rolled.
"What are you looking at!" Professor McGonagall said fiercely: "You two are different from them, hanging out at night, so good, confinement! Gryffindor deducts fifty points!"
Tom cast a sympathetic look at the Weasleys: the brothers were guilty.
The three pretended not to see anything, and silently squeezed past Professor McGonagall. Tom held his breath, for fear that the sound of his breathing would attract Professor McGonagall's attention and make her turn her attention to herself.
Professor McGonagall, who is full of aura, is very scary. The same goes for Hermione and Harry, who did not dare to take a sip, kept silent, and fled as if flying.
However, although Professor McGonagall punished him severely, he did not reprimand Fred and the two of them at length. When Tom got to the fourth floor of the castle, the two darlings caught up.
"So you made that sound just now?" Fred asked with a smirk, pressing his elbow against Tom.
Tom nodded and told the two of them what had just happened.
"Cool!" Fred gave Tom a thumbs up It's a pity I didn't get to see you summon the thunderbolt...otherwise it's worth the fine of confinement. "
"You two have a snack! You should think about how you will face your Gryffindor classmates tomorrow! Also, Professor McGonagall is right, you really have to start preparing for the o.w.l.s exam..." Hermione With a straight face, he persuaded the two seriously.
"Hermione, you'll become Professor McGonagall if you go on like this," Fred grimaced at Hermione, "We're here, see you tomorrow!"
The two found an excuse and ran away quickly. When they saw Hermione now, they had a big head. This elementary school girl really gave people the feeling of Professor McGonagall. Plus Tom was next to them, and they were too embarrassed to go back, so they had to run away.
After Tom and Harry said goodbye, they returned to Ravenclaw Tower.
Outside the Eagle knocker, Tom suddenly stopped without knocking the knocker.
"What's wrong?" Hermione wondered.
"Your tongue-stopping spell just now made my tongue really hurt." Tom turned his head and looked into Hermione's eyes.
"Ah?" There was a nervous look on the girl's pretty face, "Then... what should I do?"
"I need a little compensation."
