Hogwarts: I, Tom, am really not Voldemort!

#43 - Chapter 43 Invisibility Cloak

The next morning, Tom woke up in the Gryffindor tower.

Feeling the warm sunlight shining in from the window, Tom once again felt resentment towards Salazar Slytherin.

There were so many better choices for the location of the dormitory, but he just had to choose the dungeon. Now, in the winter, we can't even see the sunlight, and we suffer terribly.

For the first time, Tom felt that being sorted into Gryffindor was actually pretty good.

Just as Tom was lamenting the passage of time, he heard Harry's excited shout: "Tom, what are you doing standing there? Come and open your presents!"

Tom rubbed his still-not-fully-awake head and walked over, yawning: "My presents aren't here, Harry. Just open your own."

Harry pointed to a pile of presents on the other side of the Christmas tree: "Those are yours."

After carefully checking the cards on the gifts, Tom found that they were indeed his: "This is worthy of the magical world. What kind of GPS is this that can pinpoint my location so accurately?"

"Let me see what we have here... This is a handmade craft made by Milia and Aunt Anna together. It's much better than last year's... Harry, look, isn't it beautiful?"

"This is 'A Throne of Power' from Draco... Seriously, what is this guy thinking..."

"Oh... 'The Origin of Magic' from Hermione, interesting..."

"A crystal ball... From Neville. I'll put it away for now, it will be useful for Divination class later..."

"Hmm? This is from you, Harry? A wand care kit... Very practical, thank you..."

Tom unwrapped the gifts one by one. This was the first time he had received so many gifts, from the Stargazers, Slytherins, and other familiar students from other houses, and even a book called 'Magic and the Mind' from Dumbledore.

Unknowingly, after a few months, Tom realized that he had actually made connections with so many people.

The joy of unwrapping gifts is indescribable for boys of any age. Tom happily hummed a song, enjoying the happy time to the fullest, and unknowingly reached the last gift.

"Such a gorgeous packaging box... As expected, it's from Cassandra... It's a bracelet, so beautiful... No, wait, this isn't just a bracelet, it's a defensive magical item... As expected of a young lady, she's so generous."

Putting the bracelet on his right wrist, Tom took out the Stargazer badge and sent a message to the top group: "Thank you all for the gifts, Merry Christmas!"

After thinking about it, he called Cassandra separately.

"Beep… Beep… Beep…"

After the signal was connected, a lazy voice with sleepiness came from the badge: "What time is it? Why are you contacting me so early? What's the matter?"

Tom's tone carried a trace of pampering that even he didn't notice, and he gently said to Cassandra: "Merry Christmas! Also, the bracelet is very beautiful, I will cherish it for the rest of my life."

Cassandra's face turned red, and steam almost came out of the top of her head. Her speech also became flustered and exaggerated: "Of course, how could this young lady's taste be bad... A lifetime is too exaggerated, it's just an ordinary bracelet... Also, it's good that you like it..."

Cassandra's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, and finally she hung up the phone in a hurry, burying herself in the quilt.

Tom curled up the corners of his mouth with a smile and put away the badge. Turning his head to look at Harry, he found that he was staring at the black cloak in his hand.

"An Invisibility Cloak, it can hide your body when you wear it." Looking at the Invisibility Cloak in Harry's hand, Tom's eyes lit up.

Hearing Tom's explanation, Harry tried to put the Invisibility Cloak on himself, and then surprisingly found that the parts of his body covered by the Invisibility Cloak were invisible.

"How magical, who on earth sent this?" Harry was puzzled about the gift-giver.

Even though he hasn't been in the magical world for long, Harry can still understand the value of this gift, so he couldn't guess who would give him such a precious gift.

"Dumbledore!" Tom didn't let Harry guess blindly and directly announced the answer.

This time it was Harry's turn to be surprised: "Are you talking about Professor Dumbledore, but why would he give me such a precious gift?"

"That's because it originally belonged to you. The ancestor of the Potter family was Ignotus Peverell, and this Invisibility Cloak has been passed down from him generation after generation. The previous owner was your father, Dumbledore is just returning it to its original owner."

After Tom briefly explained the origin of the Invisibility Cloak to Harry in one breath, he couldn't suppress his desire to complain: "Speaking of which, Harry, you really haven't learned anything about your family these days. How much do you look down on the Potter family?"

The moment Tom took the mercury-like silky Invisibility Cloak from Harry's hand, Tom felt as if the Invisibility Cloak was attracted by something, and it began to stir restlessly in his hand.

'This is...' Feeling something, Tom calmly suppressed the Invisibility Cloak and entered the storage space to check.

Sure enough, the Elder Wand and the Resurrection Stone, which were lying quietly inside, began to tremble slightly.

Just as Tom was about to lose his grip on the Invisibility Cloak, Harry noticed his abnormality and asked with concern: "Tom, are you okay?"

"Harry, I'm fine. But can I borrow the Invisibility Cloak for a day? I'll return it to you tonight?" Seeing that he was about to lose control, Tom quickly made a request to Harry.

Harry didn't suspect anything and agreed generously: "Of course, it's okay to return it in a few days. But Tom, do you need my help?"

Tom shook his head to indicate that he didn't need it, thanked him again, and hurried out of the Gryffindor common room with the Invisibility Cloak, without even taking his Christmas gifts.

After leaving the Gryffindor common room, Tom quickly threw the Invisibility Cloak into the storage space and then returned to the Slytherin dormitory as quickly as possible.

After Tom returned to his own room and locked the door, Tom breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to take out the three Deathly Hallows from the storage space.

The Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak seemed to be attracted by some invisible force and naturally formed the symbol of the Deathly Hallows in mid-air.

However, the three-piece set after forming the symbol of the Deathly Hallows was no longer different.

Tom waited quietly for a long time. Seeing that there was still no reaction, but his intuition told him that something had already appeared, after thinking for a moment, he raised his wand.

"Revelio!"

Along with the fall of the spell, the invisible picture was dyed with a layer of ink and appeared in the air.

"This is... a pyramid?"
