[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

It was getting late, so Tom ran to the observatory to blow the wind, trying to wash away his grievances from the cold night wind.

Unfortunately, the phoenix in its arms was too warm. It even wisely increased the heat dissipation after noticing that the human cub holding it was shaking slightly.

So Tom sneezed between heat and cold.

Fox, who was spreading his wings and thoughtfully trying to shield humans from the wind:? ? ?

Fox angrily called him with his wings, and tiny down feathers fell down all over his face, irritating Tom to sneeze again.

Fox:? ? ! ! !

Fox flew away angrily, and his long tail feathers twitched Tom as he turned and took off.

The unspeakable feeling of grievance that Tom had been brewing was gone. He wiped his face helplessly, shook off the feathers from his hands, then found a corner on the observatory and sat down with his knees in his arms.

He didn't really want to go back right now.

"Who?"

It was Professor Sinistra who heard something going on at the observatory and hurriedly came out to check.

Tom didn't really want to talk at the moment, so he stayed silent.

Professor Sinister lit up his wand vigilantly. When he saw Tom, he was startled and his expression softened.

"It's so late, why are you still here?" the professor asked in a low voice.

Tom looked up at her without answering the question.

Professor Sinistra noticed that he was not in a high mood and did not continue to ask. Instead, he hesitated, extinguished the light on the head of his wand, took a handful of robe corners, and sat down next to him.

She waved her wand gracefully, and Tom immediately felt warm all over his body. He knew that Professor Sinistra had cast a warming spell.

The professor put away his wand and let out a big yawn.

"My favorite part of the day is night, because you can see the stars very clearly at night," said Professor Sinistra.

She didn't even share her peripheral vision with Tom, she just sat in a relaxed posture, with her wand precariously inserted in her pocket, her hands on the ground, and she looked up at the night sky comfortably.

"A person's life is so long, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, but as time goes by, looking back is like a faded old photo, leaving only a vague impression of the past. Only the stars still shine."

"Human life is so short and fleeting. Most people will be forgotten in history. As for individual heroes, how many of them are the true ones that have been passed down? Only the stars will shine forever."

"The universe is as vast as a miracle. Perhaps some magnificent epic is being performed on a shining star, but we have no way of knowing or seeing it. We can only see the stars twinkling in the distance on a clear night. Starlight.”

"Isn't it interesting? Think about it this way, on this small planet we live on, all the joys and sorrows of human beings, and the ups and downs, are equally insignificant in this quiet and vast starry sky."

Professor Sinistra said softly: "So, I really, really like looking at the stars."

She said no more.

Tom stared blankly at the stars scattered in the night sky, imagining that on some distant planet, there might be someone looking at each other from afar. But they can't see the earth, nor can they see the creatures on the earth, and they can't perceive the smaller one on the earth. They can only see the greater and brighter light of the sun.

The radiant sun overwhelmed all surrounding lights.

However, even such bright suns are just ordinary stars that are unremarkable and not worth mentioning in the universe.

Personal sorrows and joys seem so insignificant in this universe, and the magnificent human history is as pale as curling smoke. Everything will pass, everything will pass away, and only the starry sky will last forever.

Only a little starlight exists forever, shining unconsciously.

"I... also want to shine." Tom said.

I hate not being worth mentioning. he thinks.

Professor Sinistra turned to look at him and smiled, saying, "As long as you work hard to shine, it will be a dazzling life."

Tom nodded.

"Stars also have a lifespan." He suddenly said, "Stars can't shine forever."

"Yes." Professor Sinistra sighed, "But so what?"

"The mayfly lives and dies, and the moon shines for eternity. But who can say who lives more meaningfully, the mayfly who strives to live a life, and the ignorant moon?" she asked.

Tom stopped talking.

They stared at the stars for a while longer, and Professor Sinistra yawned several times.

"Go back?" she asked, "I'm very sleepy."

Tom stood up, nodded to the professor, and said, "Thank you, professor."

Professor Sinistra smiled: "Thank you for watching the stars with me. Will I take you back?"

Tom shook his head: "It's too late. I won't delay the professor's rest anymore. I'll go back by myself. Gryffindor Tower is not far away anyway."

Professor Sinistra gathered his robes, stretched out his wand, and cast a warming spell on him.

"Okay, okay, then be careful when you go back." She made a playful face, "Today's night patrol is your Potions Professor, don't get caught, my dear little Mr. Gryffindor. "

It's so safe tonight. Tom thought expressionlessly. He guessed that Professor Snape didn't want to see anyone at least today. Even if his professional ethics forced him to insist on patrolling, he still didn't know who was hiding from whom. .seven

There might be an unsolved case happening tomorrow - the students on the night tour clearly didn't see Professor Snape, but some of their college points had evaporated inexplicably.
