The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Hearing two thumps in his ears, Tom shook his head helplessly, placed the leather shoes for Hermione, then sat down at the kitchen table and fell into a daze.

Tom's system issued a task to him for the first time in a long time. The last time the mission was completed, it was the last time: Tom destroyed two of Voldemort's Horcruxes before the hidden mission completion prompt popped up. In Egypt before, the system did not pop up to create any sense of presence. It only popped up from time to time to achieve achievements, unlock a node for wandering in the world [Note 1], or evaluate some magic items [Note 2]

But this time, after Dumbledore conveyed the mission of protecting Harry, the system's mission was refreshed.

[Dumbledore's Test (1): Escort Harry Potter to make him arrive safely at Hogwarts

Task Notes: There is no system reward after passing the test from Professor Dumbledore, but it can improve Dumbledore’s favorability. After the favorability reaches a certain level, you can collect rewards from Professor Dumbledore]

"It looks like a series of tasks." Tom thought for a moment and felt that it was not difficult. Harry will be completely safe while living at Privet Drive, and Lily's magic will always protect him. Tom feels that the biggest danger may come from the Ministry of Magic...

Tom turned off the system, took a deep breath, and took out a roll of parchment. He planned to write a letter to his partner Yuri first. After all, the team he sent over was wiped out in the desert. What could he say? I need to give Yuri an explanation. After finishing the letter, Tom felt that he could start writing the summer homework assigned by the professors.

Yes, wizards have summer homework to do, too. Moreover, these homework assignments are very large and there are no answers yet, and the teacher will also carefully correct them... It really makes those who hear it sad and those who see it cry.

Fortunately, Tom cuddled up to the biggest thigh in the class, and he had decided to cuddle up to Hermione's thigh during this holiday.

Just as Tom spread out the parchment and prepared to fight, a voice came from upstairs:

"Tom, can you come up and help me see how these new clothes I bought look good?"

Tom, who had just made up his mind to communicate intelligence with his allies and study hard, ran to the second floor in just ten seconds.

…

On the first day back in London, take a bath and sleep.

On the second day after returning to London, I felt sick to my stomach after breakfast, so I took a rest.

On the third day after returning to London, I went to the mall with Hermione and looked at the new clothes she bought.

On the fourth day back in London, I fished.

Damn it, Tom, are you just going to let yourself down like this? You have to fight! You have to practice magic! The entire magical world is waiting for your salvation, and your goal is the stars and the sea.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, Hermione's black stockings looked so beautiful, hehe!

…

brush!

"The sun is shining on your butt! It's time to get up!" Hermione strode into Tom's room and opened the curtains, letting in the sunlight.

She looked at Tom who was huddled in the towel and quilt, and frowned.

"We will start studying after breakfast. It's good to balance work and rest, but don't relax too much. We have rested for four days. It's time to get up and do some serious work. If you delay too much time, the professors will not be able to finish their homework. "

It looked like Hermione had recovered from her trip to the desert and was feeling full of energy. After saying this, Hermione ran downstairs in a hurry.

Tom also grabbed the time turner on the bedside table and hurried downstairs. Tom and Hermione haven't used the Time-Turner since they got it because they have a reverence for time. Traveling through time and space at will may cause extremely serious consequences. They went back to the past, and a small inadvertent action could affect the future, so even if they had such a converter on hand, they did not use it randomly.

When Tom walked downstairs, Hermione had already soaked her cereal.

After dinner, Tom spread out "A History of Magic" by Bathilda Bagshot, looking for a few passages that could help him write his thesis. The title of his thesis was "The Origin of Wizards: The Rise and Fall of Wizards in Ancient Egypt". Hermione The title is also related to Egypt: "The Development of Magic in Ancient Egypt"

Apparently, Hermione was interested in the various witchcraft of ancient Egypt. That trip benefited her a lot.

The two of them wrote the paper for a while and were interrupted by two uninvited guests.

Two owls flew in one after the other. A barn owl with no characteristics other than cuteness brought today's "Daily Prophet", and the other white owl, a Hogwarts owl, delivered two letters.

Tom and Hermione's friendship with other people at school was relatively weak, and there was little exchange of letters during the holidays - Hermione's best friends sent several emails, and Fred and George also sent two letters to Tom. Promoting their latest prank toy.

Tom tore open the envelope with the Hogwarts school crest and pulled out three pieces of parchment. The first one said:

[Dear Mr. Yoder:

Please note that the new school year will begin on September 1st. The Hogwarts Express will depart from Platform 9 of King's Cross Station at eleven o'clock.

Third year students are allowed to visit Hogsmeade on certain weekends. Please give the enclosed consent form to your parent or guardian to sign.

Enclosed is the book list for the new school year.

your loyal

Vice President Professor McGonagall]

Tom pulled out a second piece of parchment, on which was the Hogsmeade permission form. At this moment, he wanted to know what he should do in his situation - could he be his own guardian?

Hermione took the form in his hand directly. At this time, the owl in the school seemed a little impatient and was about to spread its wings and leave, but was stopped by Hermione. She stuffed all her and Tom's application forms. Put it into an envelope, and then she quickly wrote a letter.

"Guardian, just use my father's name." She quickly filled in the address on the envelope as she spoke, "There's no need to be polite."

She tied the sealed letter to the owl's leg, stroked the messy hair on the owl's head, and grabbed a piece of toast from the table as a reward for its errands.

Watching the owl disappear into the horizon with the envelope, Tom hooked Hermione's hand.

"Thank you, Hermione."
