The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 342 Bathing and Changing (big chapter two in one)

The house was not big, only ten square meters at most, but it had three fireplaces, and the blazing fire made the whole house look like an oven.

But for someone like Hermione, who suffers from mild to moderate hypothermia, there is no more suitable room than this.

Hermione's symptoms were typical of hypothermia: she lost too much heat due to her clothes getting wet, eventually leading to hypothermia. Hypothermia is a symptom that, in layman’s terms, means freezing. Contrary to common sense, hypothermia is easily triggered. In fact, under certain circumstances, a room temperature of more than ten degrees can freeze someone to death.

Fortunately, Tom discovered it in time, and he happened to know how to treat hypothermia, otherwise the consequences would have been extremely serious.

To treat hypothermia, three things should be done: take the patient out of the low-temperature environment; take off cold and wet clothes and replace them with dry warm clothes; and warm the patient up by soaking in warm water higher than the body temperature or using a fire to warm him up. 【Note】

Tom felt that he had done a good job in the first two points - although the second point was not thorough enough.

Tom put Hermione down on the bed and she looked a little better. The body no longer trembles involuntarily, and the purple color on his lips is gradually dissipating.

She lay weakly on the bed, her body sagging a little, and her chest rose and fell slightly with her breathing. At this time, Hermione lost her usual sense of strength and looked sickly. But it is this look that makes people feel more distressed and makes people want to protect her.

"Sorry," Tom couldn't just leave Hermione alone, he still had a lot of things to do. He first helped Hermione take off the team robe that was wrapped around her, revealing the black turtleneck sweater underneath.

"It's a very fitting dress." Tom felt that Hermione's aesthetics were really getting better and better, but he still leaned in front of Hermione, stared into her eyes and said, "If you can still move, I suggest Do it yourself."

The tip of his nose was almost touching Hermione's.

"Just let me lie here..." Hermione said weakly while lying on the bed, trying to be cute.

"No, wet clothes! You'll catch a cold!"

Tom is a very principled person.

"Then come on," Hermione turned away from him.

Tom shook his head, grabbed the hem of Hermione's sweater, took it off in one fell swoop, revealing the exquisite black bra underneath, and then put his hands on her pants as Hermione exclaimed. .

Hermione screamed, and a force surged out of nowhere. After pushing Tom away, she jumped up from the bed and ran into the bathroom.

"Tom the rascal!"

"Remember to take a hot bath." Tom said with relief.

Hermione ran into the bathroom, lay down on the edge of the bathtub, and turned on the faucet. Looking at the gurgling hot water, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and took off her pants by herself, leaving only her underwear, shoes and socks.

Today, the lucky color for girls is black.

She deftly unbuttoned her black bra with her backhand, and then took off her lower garments of the same style.

Hermione placed her hands on both sides of her thighs, gently stroking the silk fabric on her legs: it felt smooth and soft, with the unique fragrance of girl's skin. If it is normal, it will still carry the girl's body temperature. But today, Hermione's skin was cold, and even the silk object had lost its warmth.

The best clothes and the most precious things are reserved for the most beautiful people.

Hermione slid her hands down, hooked the heels, took off the shoes and threw them aside. Then she clasped her hands on the edge of the knee-high socks and smoothed them down. The entire knee-high socks were rolled up and removed all the way to the feet. department.

Hermione first raised her right foot, held the sock on the heel, and took it off completely. Then she moved to her left foot, and she took off a pair of wet silk knee-high socks.

She raised the socks to her nose and sniffed them twice. Fortunately, there was no smell, only the smell of rainwater. Hermione threw her knee-high socks on the ground, and finally took off her bracelets, anklets and leg rings, placed them neatly on the edge of the bathtub, and stepped into the bathtub barefoot.

"Ah..." The hot water made her let out a pleasant moan. She felt that every pore in her body was opening and expanding in the warm water. After a while, Hermione's face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her whole body became warm. The hot water in the bathtub added a bit of color to the girl's creamy skin.

The hot water restored the girl's vitality.

Her fingertips slid over her collarbone, wandered around her waist, all the way down to her toes. She carefully wiped and kneaded every inch of skin on her body several times until her blood vessels were connected and her whole body felt comfortable.

It was a long bath. It wasn't until the hot water was changed three times that Hermione reluctantly left the bathtub.

"The Room of Requirement is a great place. The Ravenclaw dormitory does not have such good conditions for people to take a bath as they please." Hermione loved this magical little room from the bottom of her heart. This is also the starting point of her and Tom's adventure!

But when Hermione stood up from the mist, she discovered a somewhat embarrassing fact: there was no change of clothes of her own here, and as for the pile of wet dirty clothes on the ground, she didn't even want to touch it.

Fortunately, there was a small wardrobe next to the bathtub. She opened the door of the wardrobe, and a set of neatly folded clothes appeared in front of her.

Hermione unfolded her clothes and was surprised: Is this... really good to wear out like this? But if I don’t wear it, I don’t seem to have any other choice…

And thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with this outfit, because she and Tom are the only two people in the room. Besides, the cat ears look fluffy and quite cute.

[The mission is completed and the mysterious reward has been distributed]

Tom saw the message.

"Oh?" Tom raised his eyebrows: it was an unexpected surprise. He almost forgot about it if the system didn't mention it. As for what the mysterious reward will be, he is looking forward to it.

While Hermione was soaking in the hot bath, he was thinking about the Patronus he had summoned today. What happened today is really special. Two patron saints can actually merge together and become a more powerful patron saint. This is simply unheard of! This is not Yu-Gi-Oh, it can also fuse two monsters. Whether this phenomenon is common or only occurs with Hermione is not certain, and it remains to be proven.

However, since this magic that he and Hermione used together has never appeared in the history of magic, they may have to come up with a name for it.

what name should I choose? Tom was a little confused. First of all, it definitely couldn't be called the Patronus Fusion Skill. This name was too unlucky, and he was unwilling to use any name with "fusion" in it. But this is not a good name - because it is indeed two patron saints fused together.

Suddenly, Tom had a flash of inspiration and thought of a word, which was very appropriate.

"The perfect match!" This phenomenon is simply called the perfect match! Tom gave his and Hermione's Patronus Charm a new name.

As for his Patronus becoming Hermione's Patronus, he figured out the reason: his Patronus was most likely a Boggart, which could imitate and transform into the appearance of other people's Patronus. And without other patron saints, it will maintain the appearance of mist... A very unique patron saint, boys are fickle...

Just when he was thinking wildly, the bathroom door opened, and a scent of water vapor filled the air, followed by the sound of heels tapping gently on the floor.

Hermione emerged from the bathroom wearing the new clothes she had found.

"Does my outfit look good?"

So beautiful! Tom answered with his own eyes.

Hermione wore a black short-sleeved dress with puff sleeves at the cuffs, giving it a gorgeous feel. The women's leather shoes on her feet were replaced by a pair of black flat boots, without extra decorations and protruding and messy shoelaces. The clothes were made very sparingly, leaving a large area of ​​fair skin exposed. She also wore a pair of cat ears on her head. The fluffy black cat ears gave Hermione a bit of a cute temperament.

Hermione looked like a black and white kitten with white front paws and black back paws. She was slender but not weak, proud but not arrogant.

She walked step by step to Tom's bed and bent down to look at him.

"It seems you've warmed up?" Tom moved his eyes away and moved to the side, leaving a space for Hermione.

"Hmm," Hermione hummed and rubbed her head against Tom's chest like a cat before jumping onto the bed and sinking into the soft quilt.

"Sleep~" Hermione also tried to jump, causing a fragrant breeze.

"Hey! At least take off your shoes before going to bed!" Seeing that Hermione actually went to bed with her shoes on, Tom protested, and then he saw Hermione shrinking into the quilt that belonged to her, with only one head exposed. There was a rustling sound, and the dress and boots were thrown out.

Hermione wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, twisted twice, and changed her position so that she and Tom were lying on their sides, face to face. She looked at Tom's lips, her mouth slightly opened, biting her lower lip gently, her eyes seemed to be full of autumn water.

At this time, their faces were very close, almost touching, and Tom could even feel Hermione's hot breath. He felt his heartbeat speeding up and his blood rushing.

"Your skin is so nice..." She said in a very soft voice, and then took the initiative to kiss the corner of Tom's mouth.

"You are really the most beautiful girl in Hogwarts." Tom took a deep breath and tried his best not to respond to Hermione. Instead, he stretched out a finger, touched her forehead, and pushed her away a little, " Go to bed quickly! You are tired enough today."

He wanted to retract his hand back into the bed, but Hermione caught it, and he twitched but didn't move. He looked at Hermione, but found that the girl seemed to have fallen asleep, so he let Hermione hold his hand, held hands together, and fell asleep face to face.

The candles in the room also went out automatically, leaving only the charcoal in the fireplace still giving off a faint light. The whole room was gradually shrouded in darkness.

However, there was silence in the Room of Requirement, which did not mean that other places were also so quiet. Dumbledore's office was very busy.

"Ridiculous!" Professor McGonagall punched the table, causing a small silver cup on the table to fly up a little.

"The dementors walked into Hogwarts in such a big way - if my eyes weren't still there, I would have thought I was sent to the public toilet of the Three Broomsticks pub by a portkey!" Professor McGonagall looked like Extremely angry, "Dementors... Hogwarts... Albus -"

Dumbledore raised a hand to signal her to calm down for a moment, "I know, Cornelius wants to give us an answer."

Sparks of anger were flickering behind his crescent-shaped lenses.

"Is Harry okay?" he asked suddenly.

"Still alive." Snape in the corner gave the answer.

"He is recuperating in the campus hospital. His teammates are accompanying him." Professor McGonagall added, "But his broom lost control and seemed to have drifted into the Forbidden Forest and hit the Whomping Willow. Pomona I went to get it... maybe Filius can fix it..."

"Poor kid," Dumbledore shook his head, "it will take him a while to accept this."

"Potter's matter is irrelevant. The little couple's patron saint is much more interesting than little Potter's sad story." Snape didn't want to hear any more news about Harry after he knew that Harry's life was in danger. He was even more interested now. Concerned about the two magical patron saints I just saw.

This sentence and his attitude made Professor McGonagall a little annoyed, but she also needed to admit that the performance of Yodel and Granger on the court just now was indeed worthy of their discussion.

"Generally speaking, Patronuses do not take the form of magical animals," Snape said slowly, "But just now, it was obvious that Mr. Yodel and Miss Granger summoned exactly the same three-headed dog Patronus. And their patron saints are fused, which is unusual.”

Dumbledore did not rush to answer, but fell into thinking.

Early the next morning, Hermione was awakened by several pieces of clothing being thrown on her body.

"Everything is washed. You can quickly put it on. Let's go down and have breakfast." Tom found a mirror and said to Hermione who was still lying in bed while combing his hair.

"Hey! These are my underwear-"

“There’s a washing machine in the bathroom!”

"You actually wash your socks and underwear together?!" Hermione looked shocked.

Tom:?

Is there any difference? Aren’t they all snoring, squelching, and then the clothes are washed all of a sudden? Why do you have to wash underwear and outerwear separately?

Hermione was a little angry, but fortunately these clothes were all dark. She comforted herself like this.

"You're not going to wear them out, are you?" Tom asked, looking at the "little wildcat" suit.

"why not?"

"Of course not!" The only person who can see this outfit is me!

"The spice box has become a sperm..." Hermione muttered and pushed Tom into the bathroom, then closed the door and didn't let him out until she had changed her clothes.

"Let's go, let's eat!"

A door suddenly appeared in the corridor. After the door opened, two figures jumped out from behind the door sneakily and walked towards the auditorium.

The people who came out were none other than Tom and Hermione.
