The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

After returning from a narrow escape in the Sahara Desert, Sara's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. Unlike her mentor, Dr. Hunter, she is not involved in a lawsuit - Dr. Hunter needs to give an explanation to the parents of Allen and other students who were buried in the sea. Although he will definitely end up losing money in the end, he is not a good person after all. Big trouble.

Sarah is different. As a student, she has no burdens or responsibilities. She only needs to make a few depositions and attend a few judgments. There are countless interviews waiting for her: TV interviews, newspaper headlines, invitations from publishing houses, and even universities and middle schools asking her to give speeches. With her beautiful face and legendary experience, she suddenly gained both fame and fortune. Now she specializes in ancient Egyptian history at the University of Sheffield, studying the treasures she brought out. The only thing that worried her was her growing belly. She was a little hesitant about whether she should give birth to the child.

Today, she went to the laboratory as usual to study the mysterious emerald slab. She sneered at Cui Yulu's statement. She still understands these superficial historical common sense. The reason for studying that stone slab is that there are words on it. Anyone with a little common sense knows that among the cultural relics unearthed from ancient ruins, the most valuable for research are those with written characters. They can help scholars effectively determine dynasties and study the historical truth.

However, when she pushed open the door of the research room, she felt a chill hit her face. When she looked again, she found that the window of the research room was open and the emerald slate on the table had disappeared. She panicked and pressed the alarm, but the guards who came after hearing the news could not find any trace of the thief. They even searched the surveillance cameras but could not find any clues.

For a time, the missing case of "Cuiyulu" became a famous unsolved case, attracting countless detectives to investigate, but all of them had no clue. There was only one clue: many people suddenly felt very cold and depressed that day, but what could this mean? ?

…

The moment Tom entered the room he knew he had been seen. As for why he knows everything about his surroundings even though he can't see? Naturally, this is because although dementors cannot see specific things, they are by no means blind. They can "see" the emotions of objects around them and understand the situation around them. And not only living entities have emotions, but even objects also have emotions, but the "emotions" of objects cannot become food for dementors.

From Tom's perspective, the sickly-looking emotional color ball in the room where the emerald slate was stored suddenly changed color, giving off a smell of fear, and then quickly moved away from the place. After a little analysis, the result is ready to come out: someone saw Tom, was so frightened, and fled from here.

The only people who can see dementors are wizards or squibs. The probability of a Squib appearing here is so low that it can be ignored, so there was a wizard in this room just now!

Tom immediately looked around the room. He needed to make sure that the emerald slate had not been taken away by that person. Fortunately, he saw the emerald slate of Menes right away. It was propped on the table and was as dazzling as the sun. The scent of Menes on it has persisted for thousands of years. Tom only needs to take a quick look to confirm that it is an item from Menes.

He felt relieved and put the palm-sized stone slab into his robe.

[Menes’ Emerald Slate (five stars): The proud work of Pharaoh Menes. By dripping the blood of Menes or her descendants on it, the alchemical materials can be transformed into alchemical creations. The star rating of the alchemical creations is related to the purity of the blood. . A maximum of four-star alchemical creations can be produced]

Tom was overjoyed. With the stone tablet in hand, as long as there was enough blood, he could refine it endlessly. As for the person who escaped, he hasn't disappeared yet. He probably won't be able to use magic like apparation.

"You can't even use Apparition, you're definitely a noob." Such thoughts flashed through Tom's mind, and then he took a sharp breath at the emotional color ball. All of a sudden, the color ball began to tremble violently. It quickly became smaller, a bit like a candle in the wind, but it did not disappear completely, but left a small group of color, with a hint of deathly black at the core of the color. If it were a real dementor, it would probably be able to suck out all the emotions in a person's soul, but Tom couldn't do that. He can only weaken people's spirits to the extreme and cause them to faint.

At this time, from a Muggle perspective, there was no one in the research room, but a window suddenly opened, and at the same time, the jade slab on the table disappeared without a trace, and then there was a "thud" in the room. , like a heavy object falling to the ground.

Soon, the room returned to normal, leaving only a lingering chill.

Tom took the unconscious wizard and flew out of the research room. He thoughtfully tightened the invisibility cloak on the strange wizard to prevent him from showing his weakness. Then, he found a secluded and uninhabited place to fall down, and transformed back into Yodel form.

After returning to human form, Tom looked at the wizard he was holding in his hand: a short middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a pale face. The wizard's robe under the invisibility cloak was also a little yellow and looked like it had been washed a lot. Second-rate. It can be seen that the most valuable thing on his body is probably this invisibility cloak.

An invisibility cloak, as the name suggests, is a cloak that can make a person invisible. Harry Potter had one. But Harry's one is special, so let's put it aside. The invisibility cloaks on the market are either woven from the hair of invisible beasts, or cloaks cast with an invisibility spell. The former is more expensive and the latter is cheaper, but they all have one characteristic: the invisibility effect will fade over time. This reflects the extraordinary nature of Harry's invisibility cloak - it is always effective and can definitely bear the title of Deathly Hallows.

Tom leaned down, opened the wizard's eyelids, used telekinesis on him, and read his memory. He discovered that this man was just a poor and poor wizard who had eaten too much. As a wizard, he was worse off than many Muggles.

But there is good news: at least he is not a graduate of Hogwarts - if you find on the roadside that a senior who graduated from your alma mater with the same major is having a miserable time, you should really think about your future and seize the time to give it to him. Find your own way and don't believe the propaganda of the college. For example, some universities are so impressive that they have special entries on a certain website. However, when I checked the world university rankings, I found that they were not even in the top 200. This kind of school advertises that the employment rate after graduation is 98%, but in fact you are among the 2%.

But Tom was also a little curious: How did such a guy get this invisibility cloak?
