[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

Tom looked at him and sighed, putting his wand away.

Malfoy smiled reservedly at this with an excited and proud smile - before the corners of his mouth could fully open, he was astonished to see Tom pull out his wand from his pocket - now replace it with the one that was exactly ten inches long and made of hawthorn wood. , a wand with unicorn hair and good elasticity was pointed at him.

...It's not harmful, but it's extremely insulting.

Malfoy almost turned his nose in anger at this.

"Then please, Mr. Malfoy, please explain in detail how you are going to help me?" Tom asked politely. .seven

Malfoy had a straight face and calmed down before saying: "Follow me." He glanced at his wand reluctantly, but at least he knew that Tom would not give it back to him, so he pursed his lips and was in a very bad mood. The ground turned around.

Tom followed him into the mysterious door.

Surprisingly, the space inside is not properly described as a secret room. It is more like an abandoned maze-like city: the crooked high walls are stacked with thousands of weird and broken things. Streets of varying widths are lined with crumbling broken furniture. Scattered on the ground and crammed into the gaps are various banned books, winged slingshots, fanged flying saucers, Glass bottles containing liquid that glowed with evil light... There were even things like blood-stained swords, axes that were too big to be used by humans, jewelry that exuded dark whispers, and mummies that looked like twisted little monsters. .

"Wow." Tom sighed.

"What is this place?" asked Tom. "The Adventure House?"

"The Room of Requirement." Malfoy replied reluctantly, "Hogwarts has many secrets, and a fool like you-"

Tom nudged Malfoy's wand on the back as a reminder.

So Malfoy quickly changed his mind: "——It is difficult for ordinary marrow wizards to know."

Tom has always been very satisfied with Malfoy's speed in understanding current affairs.

"How do you get in?" Tom asked.

"...walk back and forth three times and mentally recite the room you want."

"You mean... this is a magical room that can be customized?" Tom's eyes sparkled, "No wonder it's called the Room of Requirement!"

Malfoy snorted, expressing his disdain for a certain ignorant marrow wizard.

"Don't touch it." He said arrogantly, consciously regaining control. "Many things here are very old. No one can tell which generation of Hogwarts students hid them here. There are many curses. It’s almost unsolvable.”

"So that day when you were covered in black smoke, it was because you touched something you shouldn't have touched and the amulet exploded?" Tom asked with interest, "Then you didn't wear dragon skin gloves today?"

The corners of Malfoy's mouth straightened again.

"Stop meddling in other people's business," he said angrily.

Tom shrugged and followed Malfoy into an alley, turning left and right in a maze-like environment. After finally walking around a half-rotten troll specimen, his eyes suddenly became empty.

It's not easy to see an empty space in such a messy abandoned city. Malfoy must have been cursing and cleaning it for a long time.

It's not entirely correct to say it's an open space. The ground was covered with strange lines drawn with different colors of ink, which made people almost afraid to step down - at least Tom had no intention of walking into this magic circle casually.

He cautiously took a few steps back and squinted his eyes to look at the formation.

Malfoy stepped in nonchalantly, tilted his head and laughed at him: "What, are you scared?"

“It’s not a question of whether you’re afraid or not,” Tom said. “The main thing is that you’re not stupid.”

"Is this...the Kabbalah Tree of Life?" Tom asked, "Are you crazy?"

"You're crazy!" Malfoy said angrily, "I've been painting this for a long time! This thing has to be molded at once, and it's very troublesome to prepare the paint-"

"Then do you know the dualism between men and women in the teachings of Kabbalah?" Tom interrupted his complaint and asked him helplessly, "No matter what ceremony you plan to do, the two of us will definitely not be able to do it."

"Unless-" Tom took a step back and looked at Malfoy, "are you actually a girl?"

"You're the girl!" Malfoy growled.

"Okay, okay," Tom pressed his palm down, "Okay, let's let this issue go for now. Please start from the beginning. What is your plan?"

"It's very simple. When the right moment comes, I will activate this magic circle, and then we will just wait and see."

"..." Tom rubbed his temples.

"Okay, first of all, what is the right moment? The day when the stars align?"

"What's that?" said Malfoy. "I figured it out using the zodiac. When the sun and moon are both in bad positions - ah, that's dusk - I forgot that, as in astronomy as you are, Guys with no talent at all probably don’t understand the more euphemistic way of putting it,” he said triumphantly. After all, astronomy was one of the few courses where he could pass Tom's exam. The other was Potions - relying on his talent on the one hand, and Professor Snape's preference for Slytherin on the other.

Tom looked at him incomprehensibly and asked: "So you planned to do bad things at dusk, why did you knock everyone out early in the morning?"

"It's not what I thought!" Malfoy said angrily, "Mandrake insists on holding the dance at that time, what can I do! I originally thought that the effect might be better on Easter!"

"You record it!" Tom found it even more difficult to understand, "You can record it and use it again and again!"

"..." Now it was Malfoy's turn to stare at him.

"What kind of Gryffindor are you?" he said contemptuously.

"...Heh, what kind of Slytherin are you?"

The two stared at each other until Tom, who thought he was more mature, decided to change the subject.

"Okay," he raised his finger to signal a temporary truce, "then what? Activate the magic circle? What effect do you intend to achieve?"

As Tom asked, he walked around the outer circle for a few steps and said thoughtfully: "You just said that the effect might be better on Easter? The Kabbalah Tree of Life..." He looked up and saw a wrapped tail hanging on the wall. The snake's cross asked in disbelief: "Are you going to try resurrection?!"
