However, the furious Filch restrained his temper when he saw Tom and did not shout out the curse words in his throat. He bowed to Tom stiffly, "Professor Lockhart..."
"Don't be so angry." Tom said gently. Of course, he was by no means a generous person who could stand and talk without pain. He could still understand Filch's difficulties: he had to clean the place himself.
Being soiled again is very annoying. Filch is still a squib, which means that problems that the wizard can solve with a wave of his wand may take him a long time to clean. Think about it this way, some of Filch's
The behavior is understandable.
Tom drew out his wand:
"Tergeo!"
This spell is an enhanced version of the cleansing spell, which is most suitable for situations like Harry's, when his whole body is covered in mud. It is also a few practical little spells he has learned.
Harry's body seemed to have been hit by a whirlwind, and his whole clothes were blown up. The whirlwind swept by, and the mud on Harry's body was swept away. Filch next to him showed an envious look.
Tom was the first to deal with Harry, the source of pollution, and then walked down the road where Harry came. The two ghosts followed his footsteps, and they saw him casting spells as he walked:
“Scourgify!”
It took more than a dozen cleaning spells along the way before Tom could clean up the mud and water stains left by Harry from the corridor on the second floor to the door of the auditorium. After cleaning, Tom felt a little angry. He turned his head and faced
Harry said: "Five points from Gryffindor because you don't respect other people's work. You should think about who is cleaning the castle in normal times. Hogwarts does not have Muggle students on duty.
Isn’t it?”
Harry lowered his head and silently agreed. Filch beside him saw the student being punished by the professor, his face turned red with excitement and he could hardly breathe.
Tom took out a crystal bottle from his robe. "This is an energy potion. Remember to dilute it before taking it. Just one drop at a time." Tom put the crystal bottle into his hand. "Take a good rest if you have a cold, Pomfrey."
Madam also has special cold medicine, go to her as soon as possible, don't delay catching a cold."
"Professor..." Filch's hand trembled slightly.
"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back and rest quickly."
Filch didn't say anything more, bowed to Tom and left, without mentioning additional punishment for Harry. After Filch walked away, Tom looked at Harry, who was obviously sulking.
, said to him: "I know you are in a bad mood now - is it because of the Slytherin team?"
Harry raised his head in surprise, "Professor, how do you know-"
"Donating seven top-quality brooms at once is a big deal. I've heard about it." Tom spread his hands to show that he was not deaf.
It has to be said that Lucius absolutely doted on Draco. When Malfoy wanted to join the Quidditch team, Lucius's way of supporting his son was more outrageous: he chose to directly give him to the team.
Each of his teammates was equipped with a Nimbus 2001, and then his son was sent in. It was almost equivalent to his son wanting to join the college e-sports team, and his father directly providing each member of the e-sports team with a top-of-the-line computer.
I just want to be a substitute.
What is Lucius doing? Could it be that if the heir of the family joins the Slytherin team, his family's influence will increase? The Malfoy family does not lack this honor, it is just to make their son happy.
Draco Malfoy was also good enough and actually became the main force of the Slytherin team. Marcus probably just wanted to take him in to sit on the bench and serve as the water cooler caretaker at first, but he didn't expect that this newcomer actually became the main force of the Slytherin team.
He is very capable. Malfoy can play the main role in the second grade, which shows that his strength is very good. Nimbus 2001 can buy him a substitute qualification, but it can never be exchanged for the right to start, and Marcus does not dare to do this.
The thing is, if he really wants to send a relative to the competition field for a few broomsticks, Marcus will not have to think about any spare time in the next school year - he will spend it in Professor Snape's confinement room.
Malfoy took the standard Long Aotian script, but he met Harry Potter, the son of the plane.
Judging from Draco Malfoy's various reactions, this guy is indeed a spoiled brat. This guy's behavior is mainly due to the influence of his parents. Lucius discriminates against Muggles and hates Wei.
Sly, he also followed suit, despised the Weasley family, and said very bad things to Hermione...
However, he does have a good relationship with his father. When he encounters a problem, his first reaction is to use the "Dad Summoning Technique" and he is also willing to communicate with his father.
"Seven Nimbus 2001 is a difficult opponent to deal with, isn't it?"
Tom's words reflected Harry's thoughts: All members of the Slytherin team are equipped with advanced broomsticks that are almost the same generation as them. How can we fight this?
"Hey, Potter, let me compare the data of the two Muggle armies for you. You can judge the winner." Tom suddenly started talking about an unrelated topic, "Party A has 4.3 million troops, including 2 million in the army.
There are 360,000 special forces, 160,000 air force, 30,000 navy, and a total of 1.01 million military agencies. In addition, there are 740,000 irregular troops with extremely advanced weapons and equipment. Party B only has 610,000 field troops and 660,000 local troops, with weapons
The equipment is average, how many years do you think the battle will end?"
Harry: "Uh... about a year?"
"Fought for three years."
"Is it a tactical mistake on the part of Party A? It actually allowed the other party to hold on for so long..."
"It took Party B three years to eliminate Party A."
Harry:!
"How is that possible!" he exclaimed, this is too outrageous!
"This is historical fact, so do you still think Slytherin is invincible?"
Harry fell into silence: Looking at it this way, Slytherin is not so invincible.
"You can think about it, what is your biggest advantage?" Tom patted Harry on the shoulder, and Nick next to him also encouraged him: "Gryffindor House will never surrender to Slytherin!"
"In the fifteenth century, was the relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin so bad?" Tom almost laughed out loud.
"Of course! Our relationship has been very tense since Slytherin was beaten by Gryffindor." Nick crossed his arms and looked very proud, "You are too gentlemen now. In our time, we would have sex every few days.
There was a duel between Gryffindor and Slytherin students, those days..."
Tom looked at Nick, with a question brewing in his mind. Nick understood his expression, "Professor Lockhart, if you have any questions, just ask me. I will definitely tell you everything you know."
As a ghost of Hogwarts, Nick is still very warm-hearted. Like the fat monk of Hufflepuff, he is willing to answer questions for the young wizards - ranging from Dumbledore to first-year freshmen.
They all see energetic young people.
"Well, it's like this -" Tom hesitated, because he found that this topic was more difficult to talk about than he thought, but this topic was so tempting, and this knowledge had touched the realm of God.
"Okay, anyway-"
"You want to ask me why I can still exist in the world of the living even though I'm dead, right?" Nick asked the question for him. "In the past five hundred years, I don't know how many wizards have asked me this question.
Many of them had the exact same reaction as you."
The long years have made Nick more experienced. He sighed and looked at the empty auditorium.
"I'm dead, but I can still move around - I'm not stuck in Hogwarts, I can also talk and think. Yes, I came back from 'over there', and I left my own legacy in this world.
mark, so that after I die I can walk powerlessly in the places where I once lived and walked.”
"Over there?" Tom caught a special word, and Harry listened to the conversation between the two with interest. This topic was also very interesting to him.
"Not everyone can come back as a ghost, only wizards can." Nick added, "Not every wizard can, there are very few wizards who will choose this path, they will all go on."
Harry was already a little confused. He really couldn't understand the meaning of "over there" and "go down" in Nick's words. However, Tom already roughly understood what Nick meant.
Nick said softly: "I'm afraid of death, so I ended up like this. I don't belong here or there. Sometimes I think about whether I should do this, but I still can't muster the courage.
Well, you two, I don't know the secret of death, but I believe the learned men in the Department of Mysteries are working on it."
Tom thanked Nick.
"There's nothing to thank you for. You will also experience all this in the future." Nick bowed slightly towards them, his expression suddenly became nervous, and he seemed to be tangled up.
"Are we playing a turn-based game? You sing and I come on stage? If you have anything to say, just tell me. I think we can talk about anything now." Tom couldn't help complaining.
"Turn-based... game?"
"This is not important."
"Well, actually I want to ask you two, tomorrow's Halloween is my 500th death anniversary. This request may be a bit excessive, and you may not be willing to..."
"Attending your death anniversary party?"
"Ah, that's right!" Nick nodded excitedly, and then he said anxiously: "I chose a spacious underground classroom and invited friends from all over the country. If you two can participate, it will be me.
It's a great honor. Your two friends will also be the most distinguished guests at the banquet - but I think you would rather attend the school's Halloween dinner, right? After all, the worlds of the living and the dead are distinct..."
