[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

Tom finally failed to get the Phoenix Tears, but Dumbledore still taught him a little spell.

"When we don't plan to carry a speculum with us, we can also use this little magic spell to detect malice to judge whether there is danger. If it is normal, it is green light; if the detection object is malicious towards the caster, it is Red light. But let me remind you, Tom, this charm is not usually used on people, because it would be like shaking the person roughly to see if a dagger falls out of the pocket," said Dumbledore , “Politeness doesn’t usually allow us to do that.”

But the bigger surprise Dumbledore prepared was the next morning - Tom was sitting at the Gryffindor table, eating breakfast and discussing with Harry, Ron and Hermione when to start. Learn the Detect Charm, and tell the Weasley twins that they can start designing their extra-long slide. At this moment, Professor McGonagall approached him and asked him to stand up. Then he solemnly brought him a medal with "Hogwarts Little Guard" engraved on it, and handed him a bulging money bag, saying, A reward for making good suggestions for improvements to the school.

When he sat down, the Gryffindors applauded.

"My God," said Ron, looking enviously at the money bag, "now you can buy a great broom too."

"Don't be silly," said Hermione, "Tom won't use this money to buy a flying broom."

"Buy some good books?" Harry asked.

"No," Tom looked at the golden Galleons in the bag obsessively, shaking the bag to listen to the beautiful sound of the coins colliding, "I'm going to buy a pet first."

He estimated that there were at least thirty gold galleons in it, which was definitely enough for him to buy a pet, preferably one that could fly, so that he would not need to borrow the school's public owl to send letters home.

Malfoy finally regained his sense of superiority in front of Tom. He walked over to him, tilted his chin and glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and asked with a sneer: "Tsk, you've never seen so much money in your life, have you?"

"Yes, yes," Tom answered him casually, putting the money bag away with great care, "It's not like your family, who are probably so poor that they only have money left."

The young master with light blond hair was so angry that he couldn't speak again. He panted and left with his two followers, and he didn't know where to vent his anger.

"It's really strange," Hermione said, "Malfoy can't even win an argument against you, can't beat you even if he fights you, and yet he always comes to provoke you."

"Whatever." Tom had no feelings about this. Malfoy was not as attractive as the gold galleons and the medal in his hand. "I dare say this medal was rushed."

"why?"

"Because of the name. 'Hogwarts Junior'? It sounds so unmagical."

"Oh. I'll remind Minerva to be careful next time -" 7

Only then did Tom realize that the person who had just asked "why" was not his little friend, but Principal Dumbledore. He looked up quickly and heard Dumbledore continue with a smile:

"Do you think the 'Hogwarts Magic Apprentice Contribution Award' sounds more magical?" Dumbledore asked.

"'Junior Hogwarts Magic Modifier' sounds very good too." The Weasley twins jumped over and suggested, "Professor, what do you think about giving us this award after our long slide is finished? But That must be at least an intermediate level."

Dumbledore smiled so hard that his white beard trembled, but he promised to consider their proposal carefully.

What followed was an unexpectedly peaceful campus life. Apart from their studies, they were busy flipping through books in the library, trying to find out who "Nicolas Flamel" was.

As for the group of villains they guessed... Filch is still so fierce and busy; Mrs. Norris has gained a little weight and is cuter; Snape's leg injury is probably getting better and he can no longer walk. So limping, but still an expert at deducting points. But no one attacked them.

"Maybe it's just to make us relax our guard," Ron said.

Harry believed more than anyone else that Snape was out to harm him.

"Believe me, I'm very familiar with that look." Harry said gloomily, "I've grown up with that look of hate, old friend."

"Oh, Harry!" Hermione gave him a solid hug.

"Nothing, just practice spells." After getting used to throwing a few detection spells at random, Tom felt that this good habit gave him a great sense of security in this dangerous magical world. If possible, he would even like to change the armor spell to automatically trigger or take effect automatically around the clock, so that if he casts the spell incorrectly one day, there will be no misfortune of summoning a bison that fell from the sky and hit him. [Refers to when casting the levitating spell, saying "f" instead of "s" will summon a bison to land on one's chest]

But Harry and Ron couldn't adapt to a life of being constantly vigilant, casting a Detection Charm before eating or drinking, and even casting another Detection Charm when they left their seats for a long time and then came back.

Ron was the first to give up.

"I believe Dumbledore," he said confidently, as if he wasn't the one who was worried a while ago. "The school is safe under his watch."

Harry, who lived in a more sinister childhood environment, is not so naive. He knows very well what can happen in a huge campus where teachers cannot see. So he gritted his teeth and persisted.

However, the study of magic courses, the training of the Quidditch team, the mystery of Nicolas Flamel, and the pressure that he might be murdered at any time still made Harry haggard day by day, and his mood became unstable.

Especially as time entered December and Christmas was approaching day by day, Malfoy would tease Harry about not being able to go home and that his family didn't want him whenever he found the opportunity. Harry really wanted to beat him up for ignoring him. .

Unfortunately, when Malfoy turned to Ron and taunted him, and Ron really wanted to rush towards Malfoy, Snape always appeared in time and politely used the excuse that "hitting someone is against Hogwarts school rules" Deduct points from Gryffindor. So Harry had to control his anger every time while also holding back the impulsive Ron.

"If you need, I can give you a list of quarrel tactics." Tom suggested, "Besides, Snape has deducted all points for using the reason for fighting, why don't you just make this criticism true? ? Can he still deduct points twice for the same reason at the same time?"

Hermione also unexpectedly felt that Malfoy needed a lesson. "He's quite annoying. If you punch him, you'll be deducted five points," she made a quick calculation. "I'll make it back in two or three classes. It's not a big loss."

More than that. Tom was shocked by Hermione's speech. Malfoy would tremble if he heard this here, he thought. According to Hermione's calculation, if Malfoy is beaten every two days, Gryffindor's points can still guarantee overall profit.

"Don't be angry," Ron swallowed and said to Hermione, "but sometimes I do find you a bit scary."
