The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

After logging into the dreamland, Tom found Hermione with his notebook. The two of them studied the tasks issued by the guild together. For Hermione, missing a month's guarantee was unacceptable. If she could complete a task while visiting Menis, then why not do it?

Tom flipped through the task list. During this time, the tasks on the list had increased a lot and a lot of changes had taken place. New quests are added, and old quests are either completed or have their ratings changed. For example, the [Case of Unknown Disappearance of Transcontinental Railway Personnel] he saw before was downgraded to a C-level mission.

Tom glanced at the mission description and suddenly felt a little moved.

[Unidentified disappearance of personnel on the transcontinental railway

Mission rating: C level. It is recommended to be accepted by fifth grade students in magic schools.

Mission introduction: The K3 train of the Trans-Siberian Railway connecting Asia and Europe has been missing people continuously. More than 30 people are missing, including two adult Russian wizards. After investigation by the Guild's B-class personnel (currently the Aurors of the Swiss Ministry of Magic), it was determined that it was the work of the Purifiers and unknown magical animals, and they have been exterminated.

Mission description: Take the K3 train of the Siberian Railway and confirm that there are no remnants of the Purifiers and magical animals on the train that have slipped through the net.

Task reward: 500 points]

Hermione also came over and took a look at the tasks on Tom's notebook.

"I think this task is quite interesting, but it's a bit of a waste of time." Hermione felt that the difficulty of this task was moderate. After all, the train has been cleaned by the Aurors. In theory, there won't be anything too dangerous on it. It's still very easy, but it takes a long time.

"Maybe we could take a week off?" Tom suggested. The Trans-Siberian Railway connects the European part of Russia, Siberia and the Far East, with a total length of 9,288 kilometers. It takes seven days and nights from the starting station of Moscow to the terminal station of Vladivostok, so if you want to go, you need to take a week off.

When Hermione thought about missing a week of classes, she trembled and said quickly: "Let's see if there are any tasks related to Pharaoh Menes first."

They looked through the task list together, and finally accepted a D-level mission of Sahara Desert Investigation - the mission goal was to go to the Sahara Desert to find the relics left by ancient wizards. This mission is rated D in order to allow as many wizards as possible to take it on, and the final mission rating depends on the scale of the ruins they find. Similar to this type of mission, there are investigations in inaccessible places such as the Amazon rainforest and the Arctic and Antarctic wilderness.

After accepting the mission, the two returned to the real world.

"So how to get there?" Hermione suddenly realized a big problem: Pharaoh Menes lived a bit far away...

Tom looked at Hogwarts Castle and smiled without saying a word.

In the Hogwarts principal's office, Dumbledore was sitting comfortably in an armchair, watching Phoenix Fawkes squatting on a sycamore branch and combing its feathers. Suddenly, the door to the principal's office was pushed open. Tom and Hermione walked in.

"Mr. Yodel, and Miss Granger," Dumbledore showed a hint of surprise, "I don't remember telling you the password for the entrance to the Headmaster's Office -"

"Just try the desserts and candies you've seen and you'll know." Tom said with a straight face. Dumbledore was also a talent and actually set the password for the entrance to the office to Super Bubble Gum. In order to guess the password, he tried for a while.

"So? Why did you two come to this bad old man like me on Sunday morning? You're not here to eat my candies, are you?" Dumbledore took the plate of candies on the table into his own without leaving a trace. drawer.

Tom simply told Dumbledore that they wanted to borrow Dumbledore's phoenix.

"For the guild's mission? Yes."

To Tom's surprise, Dumbledore agreed without making things difficult for them at all. Tom originally thought that Dumbledore would either reject their application or charge a fee, such as one thousand points per loan.

Tom was a little confused, "Is it free?"

"Of course," Dumbledore nodded kindly, "Go ahead. If Fawkes agrees, you can take it out."

Tom showed a hint of joy and walked happily to Fox, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Fox glared at him.

The feathers on Fox's head stood up and a threatening sound came from his throat. Obviously, it didn't want to take two little wizards out with it.

"Headmaster Dumbledore said..." Hermione was advising Fox next to her, but she paused mid-sentence. Then she remembered that Dumbledore said "if Fox agrees", but obviously, Fox does not agree now.

Tom glanced at Dumbledore and found that he was sitting leisurely in his chair, looking like he was watching the fun.

"Fawkes-" Hermione begged from the side, but Fawkes was unmoved. Then Tom spoke.

"We are going to visit an old man in the magic world who has lived for thousands of years. If you want, I can take you to see him." Tom began to draw cakes for the phoenix. "He has a magical thing. The alchemy creation can help wizards understand different languages. In other words, by borrowing this thing from him, we can communicate without any barriers."

This sentence attracted Fox's attention, and its beautiful eyes looked at Tom. Tom also struck while the iron was hot, "You take me there this time, and I promise to help you fulfill a wish when it comes true."

Fox was moved.

It flew down from the sycamore branch, landed on Tom's shoulder, and rubbed his cheek gently, signaling that the deal was done.

Dumbledore: ...

Phoenix, Tom and Dumbledore not far away form a classic Bai Xue composition.

He knew that Fox would not refuse Tom, but he didn't expect that Fox would agree so easily! But before he could say anything, Fox disappeared with Tom and Hermione.

The next second, they appeared in an alley in London. The sudden appearance of the two men startled the wild cats in the alley and fled everywhere. Tom looked around to make sure no one saw either of them.

"Let's change our clothes first, and then let's go buy some gifts for the Pharaoh." Then there was a rustling sound. Tom and Hermione took off their somewhat eye-catching wizard robes, put on Muggle clothes, and then walked into the busy commercial streets of London. They had to prepare some gifts for Pharaoh Menes - otherwise it would be too embarrassing to go there empty-handed. As for Fox, they left him in the alley. It is too conspicuous and will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble once it appears.

However, the two of them left the alley and came back, leaving Fox stunned for a moment. Naturally, this was Tom and Hermione's clever use of the time turner. Tom was not worried about leaving a phoenix like Fox in an alley in London, so after completing the shopping, he directly used the time turner to travel back to the point in time when they set out. .

"Come on, Fox, let's go to the desert," said Tom, raising a chocolate ball to Fox's mouth. Fox hesitated and swallowed it into his stomach without even chewing it. After eating the chocolate balls, Fox disappeared with Tom and Hermione.

After entering the Sahara Desert, Tom originally wanted to go to the Pyramid of Menes based on his previous memories, but unexpectedly the golden fish in their arms suddenly became excited, as if he felt that his hometown was close in front of him. So using the golden fish as a guide, the two of them easily found the desolate ancient city, and then entered the pyramid of Menes.

Repeating the same tricks all the way. After a long dive, Tom and Hermione returned to the main hall of Menes. Menis was sleeping with his cat in his arms when they emerged.

When Tom jumped out of the pool, both Menes and the cat in his arms opened their eyes.

"It's you again, the traveler from the future." Menes yawned and stretched, "Five thousand years ago, if you dared to enter the king's palace without notification, you would definitely be beaten by the priests. Mummified.”

"But now, it doesn't matter. Just come in." Menis' cat turned into a beautiful girl and brought two deck chairs for Tom. Fox squatted on Tom's shoulder and cried out with dignity, attracting Menis' attention.

"Phoenix? It's interesting. I thought this clan would not be close to humans, but I didn't expect you to be recognized by the Phoenix." He lay lazily on his side on a cushion, looking very relaxed.

His eyes swept over Tom and rested on his face for a moment. He said "Huh" and looked a little surprised.

"What have you been through? Ankaya, give our traveler a glass of wine." He ordered the busy girl-like cat and watched her twisting and walking away. He turned to Tom and said to Tom, "Your soul is unstable."

Tom thought for a while, and the only recent accident related to souls was the encounter with a dementor on the Hogwarts Express. So he told Menes about his experience, and Menis was thoughtful.

"Oh? It's interesting." Menis was very interested when he heard that there were dark creatures that feed on human happiness. "In my time, there were no such creatures."

Then he sighed and said with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't leave this palace and have no chance to see this guy - if conditions permit, raising a dementor may be a good pet choice."

Tom:…

Is this the boss?

When he faced the dementors, he felt like he had lost half his life, but the boss actually wanted to keep this kind of thing as a pet! But if Menis wants to see Dementors, that's not impossible. Previously on the train, the Dementor grabbed Tom's neck with his hands, and the two had physical contact, so Tom successfully copied the Dementor's form on his ring, filling the last position.

"If you want, I can change it for you." Tom's words shocked Menis, who raised his head in surprise: "You can actually turn into a dementor?"

Tom spoke with facts and switched forms without saying a word. A tall figure wearing tattered robes appeared in the hall. The moment it appeared, although the sun was shining brightly in the palace, Hermione, who was sitting on the edge, still felt that Her body felt cold, as if a large glass of ice water had been poured into her stomach. She shuddered, feeling the happiness in her heart leaving her.

Looking at Tom's new form, Menis opened his eyes in surprise. His eyes suddenly fell on the ring on Tom's hand, and then he laughed: I didn't expect the ideas of these juniors to be so strange. He glanced at Tom appreciatively, and then his attention was attracted by the dementor Tom turned into.

This was the first time that Tom had transformed into the form of a dementor, and it was also an extremely novel experience for him. Unlike several other magical animals, in the form of a dementor, Tom could not see the outside world. Everything was foggy, but in this fog, he could see a few bright color groups. The colors of the color groups are different, and they give him different feelings.

As he breathed, wisps of color floated out of those color balls, and he breathed them into his body. Next to Tom was a pink color ball. After the color was sucked in, it gave people a lively and cheerful feeling. Tom's intuition told him that this was Hermione's mood. The taste of Hermione was so sweet that Tom couldn't help but take a few more puffs, only to find that the mass of color trembled violently and seemed to shrink a bit, scaring Tom to stop quickly. No longer being sucked, Hermione's color ball stabilized and slowly grew in shape, eventually returning to its normal size. However, compared to the beginning, the color of this mass has become darker.

The color ball opposite Tom was more like a small sun than a color ball, making Tom feel extremely hot. Tom knew that was Menis's mood. At this time, he faintly heard Menes, who was sitting opposite him, speaking. His voice was muffled, like being in the water and listening to people on the shore talking.

"Breathe into me." Menis asked Tom to suck some of his emotions into him. Tom did as he was told and inhaled a little of the emotions in Menis' color ball. As soon as the ray of "sunshine" entered his mouth, Tom only felt his own His body seemed to be on fire. The next moment, his dementor form was passively released.

Being knocked back to his original form was the first time Tom encountered him.

"Interesting creature!" Menis looked happy and satisfied. But after getting excited, he said seriously: "If according to what you said, it just held your neck and didn't take off the hood, it shouldn't cause such great harm to your soul - in other words, if it just If that can make your soul so unstable, it means you have a big problem, your soul and body are not matched enough."

As he said that, Menis looked at the ring on Tom's hand.

"If I'm not wrong, you can still turn into a phoenix, right?"

Hearing Menis say this, Fox raised his head in shock.

Fox: Birds are shocked.jpg

Now, Fox knows which "Phoenix" stole Professor Snape's potion ingredients.
