Unseal at Hogwarts

"Tsk."

Tom, who had sharp ears, heard Malfoy tut in confusion.

"I'm fine." Tom smiled. "Except for a small piece of my robe being torn by the stairs, nothing else happened."

But Rubelos swung his tail.

"That's good." Harry turned from worry to curiosity, "Tell me, what happened at that time?"

Suddenly, the entire lounge seemed to have been pressed on a pause button. Everyone stopped moving and concentrated on waiting for Tom's answer.

"To be honest, I'm not very sure either." Tom's expression was innocent, and his eyes were still glistening with confusion. "My robe got caught in the stairs, and Professor Moody came over to look for me, and then suddenly disappeared."

Thanks to his mother for his training over the years, Tom thought that he could perform such an innocent look clearly.

Harry believed it immediately. The other students in the lounge may have believed it too, or at least they started to continue what they were doing.

"Maybe we can only find out how Professor Moody disappeared after the professors investigate." Harry was a little disappointed.

…

Due to the disappearance of Professor Moody, Tom followed Professor Snape's suggestion for several days and became inseparable from Harry. He only began to try to feel the existence of the Clow Card during the breaks.

Perhaps it was because Tom believed in science too much in the past. No matter how hard he tried, he could not feel anything based on his senses, which made Kerubelos so anxious that he scratched two seat cushions.

This is also because in the past few days, students' textbooks, clothes and other items have disappeared one after another.

Although the owners of these items thought they had lost them, Rubelos knew that it was the fault of the "Eliminate" card.

However, Tom has not been able to find the "fix" for a long time, but Rubelos can only worry.

It is worth mentioning that the professors' trust in Tom seems to be extraordinary.

The incident of Moody's disappearance has not yet been investigated, but no professor has come to Tom to inquire about the situation at that time.

At the same time, the disadvantage of Tom not taking the courses for the first three years appeared.

Even though he had previewed every class in advance, Tom still couldn't understand the professor's lectures.

As for Harry, although his experiences in the first three years were rich and varied, and he hardly missed any classes, it was obvious that he was only better than other students in practical operations, and he only knew a little bit about the theory.

When Tom asked Harry about his study problems in the name of "asking for advice", the only person facing him was Harry who didn't know what to ask and looked confused.

Therefore, Tom had to spend a lot of time and energy and took Harry to the library for "tutorial tutoring".

On the other hand, Moody's disappearance also caused quite a stir of public opinion among students.

All the students who saw the cause and effect of Moody's disappearance at the scene all described the scene with their chests puffed out and foaming at the mouth.

As word of mouth spread among students, this incident became more and more mysterious.

From "Professor Moody disappeared silently due to an accident" to "Tom Cooper showed his power because he could not accept Professor Moody's title of 'little Death Eater'. Cooper waved his magic wand and made Moody disappear.

"In the dark".

Because of such rumors, when most students saw Tom, they almost stayed away with an attitude of avoiding him, but their inner curiosity made them secretly look at Tom with their eyes, which worried Harry for a long time.

Similarly, due to the absence of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Dumbledore had to ask another professor to temporarily take over the class, and the most capable professor in Hogwarts was Professor Snape.

"I must say, this seems to make everyone more dissatisfied." Harry said worriedly.

This is true. Professor Snape is known throughout the school for his harshness and partiality. Except for Slytherin, the one person students in other houses least want to face is Professor Snape.

The students who were lucky enough to attend Professor Moody's class on the first day even complained a lot.

According to them, Professor Moody's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was very interesting, and even though Professor Snape's class allowed them to learn a lot, the serious and dull atmosphere made them unhappy.

For this reason, when many students see Tom, they will inevitably give him some looks. But fortunately, they will not come to trouble Tom, which makes Tom relieved.

"Are we going to the library again?" Harry and Tom walked side by side with a helpless tone, "To be honest, I never thought I would study so hard before."

"It's okay, it's not too late to start working hard now." Tom quickened his pace.

Harry followed with heavy steps.

Just as they were about to enter the library, Malfoy appeared out of nowhere and handed Tom a small note with an impatient look: "This is for you."

Tom clutched the note and looked at Malfoy blankly.

"Did you write it?" Harry asked Malfoy with interest.

Malfoy turned away with great disgust and said arrogantly: "I don't have that much time to write this stuff."

After saying that, he took his two followers, Goyle and Crabbe, and left without looking back.

Harry and Tom watched Malfoy leave, and saw a reckless Gryffindor accidentally bumped into Malfoy's shoulder, and was severely knocked away by Malfoy.

"It seems that he is still the Malfoy we know." Harry touched his chin and nodded, "His temper has become really weird this year."

"Strange?" Tom asked doubtfully, unfolding the note in his hand, "Why do I think he still looks like that?"

Harry rolled his eyelids and put a hand on Tom's shoulder: "Didn't you notice? Malfoy always liked to cause trouble for me in the past, but this year his focus seems to have shifted."

"Is it possible that you miss the days when he made trouble for you?" Tom saw the familiar circle-within-a-circle squiggles on the note, "I'm afraid I can't go into the library with you."

He spread the note out to Harry and looked at him apologetically.

Harry patted Tom's shoulder with understanding: "I've been thinking these past few days when Professor Dumbledore will come looking for you, and now it seems that you still can't escape."

"Hey-" Tom sighed worriedly.

Harry comforted: "It's okay, Professor Dumbledore is still very kind. It's not like you haven't been invited to the principal's office for tea before, so don't worry."

Behind her, Mrs. Pince walked out of the library unbearably, and asked loudly in Tom and Harry's ears with her hands on her hips: "How long are you two going to wait in front of the library? If you want to come in, come in quickly. If you don't come in, do it quickly."

Go away!"

Harry and Tom jumped up in fright, and ran away.

Harry ran to the first floor, while Tom came to the door of the principal's office on the eighth floor alone.
