The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

ps: The last two chapters have been slightly modified. According to the timeline, Harry should still be lying in the hospital.

——

Tom has been very busy this semester, and he certainly doesn't have time to read the supplementary list that Professor Trelawney mentioned. He was planning to use the positioning paper he had exchanged from the association earlier.

With just a drop of blood, the target can be permanently tracked to the ends of the earth.

"Look, the trick to branch divination lies in..." Tom casually talked about some key points of branch divination, and the fooling Neville and Ron were taken aback for a moment. At the same time, he secretly took out the positioning parchment from inside the robe.

Hermione's eyes were sharp, and she saw Tom's small movements at once, and rolled her eyes: Is this the little genius of divination? Really **** divination. The moment she saw the parchment she knew that Tom was trying to locate Scabbers with the parchment. This made her a little confused and puzzled: Is it worth consuming a piece of positioning paper for a mouse? This paper is still very expensive.

If Banban is just an ordinary mouse, it is definitely not worth it. This mouse is not a mouse from Tongliao who can make videos. It would be a great loss to consume a magic item worth hundreds of points for it. But Scabbers isn't ordinary -- Peter Pettigrew is extremely valuable.

Although confused, Hermione didn't expose Tom in public. She just looked at him with the eyes of the landlord's stupid son-in-law and began to cover him.

"Ah Lie Lie, is that so?" she interrupted from time to time, distracting Ron and Neville. Tom took the opportunity to rub the parchment on the blood on Ron's sheets.

The moment the parchment touched the bloodstain, the bloodstain disappeared abruptly, and the parchment was covered with a layer of light red.

Along with the change in color, a slight force was also created on the parchment, driving the parchment to move in a certain direction.

Seeing that the parchment was in effect, Tom did not hesitate any longer, went into the Gryffindor common room, and picked a thin log from the fire in the fireplace.

"Can this thing also be used as a branch?" Ron was stunned. The "twig" was very different from the one he expected.

Tom's mouth twitched, who told him to be too lazy to go downstairs and break branches? Going back and forth to ten floors, it's just a play, there's no need to take it so seriously.

"Well, this is a branch. It's just a little thicker, and there is no bark outside. The essence of branch divination is not on the branch... Hermione, are you right?"

Hermione on the side was almost unable to hold back, and it could be seen from the tense muscles at the corners of her mouth that she was struggling to hold back her laughter.

She could only express her support with a "um", she was really afraid that she would laugh out loud.

Tom was like a magic stick, holding the firewood, muttering words in his mouth, what he said even he could not understand. He now regrets it in his heart: why not choose a normal divination method, such as a crystal ball, tea leaves, etc.—even palmistry is more reliable than this outrageous branch divination, right?

Fortunately, it was morning, and there were not many people in the lounge. But it was also a shame, because every little wizard who showed up to the common room in the morning was attracted to Tom.

He made a lot of limelight with Hermione yesterday, and he appeared in the Gryffindor common room again today, which naturally attracted onlookers.

"What is he doing?" Fred stood in the corner of the lounge, watching Tom mutter with his brother George, holding the firewood.

"It seems to be looking for Scabbers for our stupid brother." George made a face and imitated Ron's tone and said, "Mommy, Mommy, I lost my Scabbers~"

Fred burst into laughter, unable to straighten his back.

"But do you think Yodel is serious? If you want to find the missing mouse with a piece of broken wood, in my opinion, it is more practical to find the 'wood' in the team. [Note]"

Fred's laughter was interrupted for a while, and he thought about it carefully, "I vaguely remember that in the divination class, it seems that the branch divination method was mentioned?"

George looked at his twin brother Fred like a stranger, "When did you start studying divination? Isn't that thing used for water credits?!"

"I know, but Tom Yodell is the one who does this kind of thing. He is a reliable person." Fred was also confused. His experience taught him that normal little wizards couldn't possibly learn anything useful from Professor Trelawney, but his experience also taught him that Tom Yodel was not an easy character, he said that using a stick Help Ron find Scabbers, and that's probably for sure.

"Perhaps the crux of the matter is not the branch," he said to himself, "look carefully at what he does next."

Tom also ended his "spellcasting".

"This branch will lead me to Scabbers." He held the branch with one hand, the other hand hidden under the sleeve of the robe, and the positioning paper.

He followed the guidance of the positioning paper and walked towards the boys' dormitory.

"Could it be that Banban is still in the boys' dormitory?" Several of the little wizards who were watching also followed, and Hermione thought a little and followed.

Ron had a bad premonition: wouldn't it be Scabber's leftover skeleton still in the dormitory? He quickened his pace and ran to Tom's side, staring intently at the firewood stick.

According to the guidance of the positioning paper, Tom came to the door of the boys' bathroom. After thinking for a while, he pushed the door and walked in, and finally stopped in front of a cubicle with people.

Tom:  …

Crowd: ...

Hermione outside the bathroom:  …

After more than a minute, there was a sound of flushing from inside, and then Percy walked out with a contented face.

As soon as he opened the door, Percy found countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

Percy: ? !

Is there something wrong with the way I open the door? Why are there so many people outside the door? Although Percy often spoke in front of people, he was still terrified by the eyes of these people.

"I only stayed there for a short time, and there was no delay!" he said subconsciously.

"We don't care about your gut health," Fred said gruffly in the crowd. "So Yodel, where is Scabbers? Did it turn into Percy's excrement and get flushed down the drain?"

Tom:  …

Peter Pettigrew, what strange hobbies do you have? Why hide in the toilet, is there a big meal to eat here? Are you treating the boys' toilet as a membership restaurant? !

But with the strong smell in the small space, Tom suddenly had a clear understanding: Banban chose to hide here, maybe to cover his own smell with the smell of the toilet itself?

"This is it." He said to the people behind him in a low voice. The positioning paper in his pocket was also shaking frantically, indicating that he was very close to the target.

Tom's eyes turned to the toilet paper box in the compartment. This box, the size of a car wheel, seemed like a good place to hide a mouse.

Peter Pettigrew was indeed terrified by Sirius.

At the end of this summer, he got the bad news: Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban! Although everyone else thought he was going to trouble Harry Potter, his family knew his own business, and Peter knew very well that Sirius was here for him.

In the days when he became a mouse and did nothing, he seriously reviewed the reasons for his exposure, and finally determined that there is a high probability that he accidentally appeared on the news of the "Daily Prophet"-Mr. Weasley was on vacation. The grand prize, and they got hundreds of Galleons, which they used for a vacation in Egypt, and they were also interviewed by the Daily Prophet for winning.

Thinking of this, Banban felt regretful.

One hundred secrets and one sparse, really one hundred secrets and one sparse! Twelve years of hiding made him lose his vigilance, and as a result, he accidentally exposed himself to the public. What's even more outrageous is that, with such a single exposure, it was seen by Sirius!

There are only two people in the world who know that they can become Animagus, and they have only been exposed once in 12 years, and they can be discovered as a result! It's really outrageous!

Peter Pettigrew even felt a hint of being tricked by fate.

After realizing that he was exposed, Peter's first reaction was to flee: staying by the Weasleys' side would be a target for Blake, and he must stay away from them as soon as possible. But that Ron Weasley looked at him too tightly! On weekdays, I take him almost 24 hours a day, even sleeping with him. He had no chance at all to escape.

Later, there was a good opportunity in Diagon Alley, but it was finally found, and then it was brought to Hogwarts by Ron... It has been delayed until now.

But now it can't be delayed! Sirius has come to the door! It's too late if you don't run. So he resolutely found a good time to run away, and hid in the bathroom very thiefly, using the smell here to cover up his existence.

As for the next escape plan, he was still thinking about it - he had time, so he decided to sleep first.

As a result, when he fell asleep, Peter Pettigrew heard a loud noise from outside, with an accent that sounded a bit like the Weasleys' prude Percy and the troublemaker Fred.

Suddenly, the toilet paper box I was in vibrated, and someone was banging on the top of the box.

The man who knocked on the box said, "Hello, hello? Is anyone in there?"

Peter Pettigrew was stunned: what the **** is going on?

Tom tapped the box a few times with a dull gaze, and seeing no response, he took out his wand, pointed at the toilet paper box, and said, "Cracked!"

The box shattered into several pieces at once, and the toilet paper inside rolled out, and a gray rat fell out with the toilet paper.

Tom saw Peter Pettigrew, showed an eight-toothed smile, and greeted him: "here\'stommy!"

Peter Pettigrew hadn't seen The Shining, but he couldn't help shivering, letting Tom lift him by his tail and throw him into Ron's arms.

"Look, I found it." Tom watched Ron hurriedly stuffing Peter into the robe on his chest, feeling a little nauseated - every day he held a middle-aged obese and bald man, fed him, and joined him Sleeping, maybe kissing him, and having a heart-to-heart with him is really hard.

Tom reached out and waved his nose vigorously, trying to dispel the bad toilet smell.

"Okay, let's go." He left the bathroom, leaving a group of little wizards looking at each other.

"So, can someone tell me what happened?" Percy asked in confusion.

At the same time, Harry woke up in the ward. The teammates who surrounded him last night had all returned to the dormitory, and the ward was empty at this time.

"...he nearly died!"

"Fortunately, the ground is full of ooze..."

"Albert caught the Snitch... Ravenclaw won fair and square. Why didn't we think of wearing robes with a water-repellent spell!"

"We lost more than two hundred points..."

"Your broom... The Forbidden Forest... The professors are going to get..."

The words of his teammates poured in like a tide after he woke up, making him feel inexplicably suffocated. Now he felt like everything from yesterday was a nightmare.

Harry shook his head a little, "chasing" the voices out. Yesterday's match had been a nightmare for Harry, but there was at least one bonus: Madam Pomfrey had prescribed him a decoction to give him a good night's sleep since Harry was hospitalized.

Today he woke up feeling full of energy. The bad mood after yesterday's game seemed to be taken away by that baby sleep. He glanced at the sunlight outside the window. Because of his short-sightedness, he couldn't see the specific scene, but he could still see that the sun was shining today.

All problems can be solved, he encouraged himself, and at the same time was a little annoyed: when he encountered Dementors in the game yesterday, why didn't he think of pulling out his wand and casting a Patronus Charm on them? I can only say that I am still too tender, or that my thinking is stagnant due to the rain.

Harry reached out to touch his glasses, he remembered putting them on the bedside table last night after his teammates left, but when he put his hand on the bedside table, he felt a piece of wood with thorns ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ What is this? There was a bad premonition in Harry's heart. He fumbled around on the bedside table in a panic, and found more pieces of wood and twigs. There were tears in Harry's eyes. He didn't cry just because he still Can't be absolutely certain.

Of course, he already had the answer in his heart, but he just didn't dare to confirm it.

Finally, Harry fumbled for his glasses by the head of the bed, and he put them on with trembling hands, poking his glasses in the face several times in the middle. When the glasses were put on and the world was clear again, Harry summoned the courage to look at the bedside table, and then he felt himself wrapped in a deep despair: he saw a dozen pieces of wood and a A pile of messy twigs, this is the wreckage of the broom that has accompanied him for more than two years.
