[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

The next morning, when Malfoy accidentally passed by the Gryffindor table and saw that Harry and Ron were still at Hogwarts, his face was full of disbelief and hesitant to speak.

"Disappointed, Malfoy?" Ron asked with a smirk.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Malfoy said coldly, and walked away with his two followers.

Tom yawned and sat next to him and said: "Don't think about it, Malfoy is not stupid enough to admit in public that he skipped the duel and went to inform him." 7K叏婩

"Were you too excited to sleep last night?" Harry asked, wondering why Tom looked sleepier than him and Ron. Hermione also looked strange, fiddling with her hair all the time, as if It looked like there was something dirty on it that I was trying to get rid of.

"Well... I guess." Tom hesitated, but still didn't say that he and Hermione went out for a night out again. He and Harry weren't that familiar, and besides, he didn't invite them in person last night to continue the night outing, so why bother saying it now to make people unhappy.

But Hermione still had something to say about last night's night out. She took advantage of the opportunity of group activities in class to seize the seat next to Tom and whispered: "Do you remember that dog?"

Tom almost wanted to surrender to her.

"Don't say it!" he hissed through gritted teeth, "the professor is still here!"

He looked around the room with vigilance across the steaming heat that filled the classroom, and was relieved to find that Professor Snape was more than half the classroom away from them. "I don't want to get caught for not asking for it! That's stupid. Malfoy isn't even that stupid."

"I was watching." Hermione replied impatiently, chopping the knife in her hand loudly to drown out their voices. "I noticed it standing on a trap door. It was obviously guarding it. Wearing something."

Tom looked down at the fire and buried his head to cover his moving lips and asked, "What does that have to do with us?"

Hermione gave him an angry look, as if he had put that horrible three-headed dog in the school.

"What needs a three-headed dog to guard? That must be a more terrifying secret than a three-headed dog!"

"If we keep talking, you will soon see something scarier than a three-headed dog -" Tom indicated that her aggressive chopping method had attracted the professor.

Snape was striding over, dragging his imposing black robes.

"—an angry Snape," Tom said with a dry cough.

Although he and Hermione worked together to brew the perfect potion, he was still deducted two points by the angry Professor Snape for being "arrogant" and "not helping his classmates".

Tom really didn't care much what the three-headed dog was guarding. Principal Dumbledore had warned everyone not to enter the corridor on the fourth floor from the beginning. The three-headed dog was locked in a locked room and tied up. Except for those who break school rules and enter by mistake, there is almost no possibility that anyone will be harmed. As for what secrets are hidden deep in the corridor, that is a matter for the school teachers to worry about.

Maybe it's just that the school castle has fallen into disrepair? That's why the teachers declared it a restricted area for this school year. As for guards, aren’t three-headed dogs used to guard doors in the magical world? Not too strange, right?

Hermione also felt that there was some truth to his analysis.

"But that's a three-headed dog! I always think it's too dangerous."

In order to appease Hermione who still had some doubts, Tom took her to visit Filch. After taking the initiative to help clean up and provide snacks to Mrs. Norris, Filch was finally willing to listen to their suggestion: use conspicuous red paint to paint the words "No Entry" on the floor of the restricted corridor, and use Yellow tape sealed the only entrance and exit of the corridor to prevent accidental entry.

"It should have been like this a long time ago!" Filch muttered, "Those naughty guys are always poking their heads there, curious about what's inside...ah ha, don't even think about it, some secrets will make you lose your head!"

"So, what's in there?" Tom asked, pretending not to know.

"Don't make up your own mind, kid!" Filch snapped, turned against him, and drove the two of them out of the office.

Filch was very capable. During dinner, Ron asked at the dinner table: "Have you heard? Filch has sealed the off-limits corridor on the fourth floor!"

He sighed regretfully: "George and Fred originally wanted to go on an adventure, but now they can only count on ghosts that can walk through walls!"

Hearing this, Hermione almost choked. She said with a pale face, "Oh, Filch did a great job!" She was really glad that Filch acted in time. If any of her classmates were injured because of the three-headed dog, she would not If she knew what was inside but did nothing, she would be very regretful.

"The headmaster said no one is allowed in there." Harry also thought that although Filch was annoying, he had done nothing wrong.

"The principal also said no night walks are allowed." Ron said disapprovingly.

Tom ate his supper without raising his head. He was very worried about what his expression would reveal. After all, he did it during the night outing, he did it when he entered the restricted area, and it was his suggestion to even block the restricted area. Fortunately, the students quickly changed the topic.
