My partner at Hogwarts is Tom

Just as Victor was curiously experiencing the unique taste of the unicorn, he was enjoying the novel flavor.

Tom, who had cleaned himself up, also walked over curiously and looked Victor up and down, now transformed into a unicorn.

Tom found Victor's appearance quite intriguing.

The little unicorns nearby watched Tom curiously as he fell from the sky as a bat and turned into a cat.

They had seen Tom during the summer vacation, but this was the first time they had seen him fly over.

One of the unicorns looked at Tom, then at Victor.

Then it nudged Tom with its little horn.

Tom turned his head in confusion to look at the little unicorns.

"Heave-ho, slurp slurp!"

"Meow, meow meow meow!"

"..."

After a series of nonsensical exchanges...

Tom stared wide-eyed at the little unicorn, defiant.

He pointed at Viktor, then at himself, and finally gave a thumbs up.

After thoroughly examining Viktor, he immediately began rubbing his own face.

After he finished kneading them, he looked down at the group of little unicorns with an air of superiority.

However, he was met with merciless ridicule from the little unicorns.

This time, Tom angrily patted Victor, who was pondering what the taste of oak bark in his mouth was similar to.

Meanwhile, Victor turned his head and, with a splatter, spat the oak bark he was still eating onto Tom's face, which looked like a "rat".

As Victor channeled his magic, a water sphere appeared in front of Tom in the next instant.

Tom was stunned when he saw his reflection in the mirror, which made him look like a mouse.

Then she started rubbing and stretching her face again.

However, the shape it came out of this kneading was rather rabbit-like.

After rubbing the water balloon, Tom, still unconvinced, started kneading it again.

This time, the kneading was indeed quite good, and it looks about 70% similar to the little unicorns.

However, Victor looks more like a donkey this time than Horse-faced Tom.

Even so, in the eyes of a group of little unicorns who had never seen the world, Tom was already very impressive.

So he excitedly circled around Tom, acting as if Tom was his boss.

Looking at Tom, who had seamlessly blended into the little unicorns with his donkey-like head, Victor shook his head speechlessly.

Then he continued his journey of savoring each bite.

…………

In the afternoon, warm sunlight streamed through the forbidden forest.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Victor led Tom, who had become the leader of the little unicorns, toward the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

As he savored the flavors of the various herbs and leaves he had tasted that afternoon, Victor sighed inwardly.

"As expected, being an elective teacher is much more comfortable. Less work, more money, better benefits, more respect, and you can leave work early. Hogwarts even has the precious Forbidden Forest here."

"It seems that after helping Dumbledore defeat Voldemort, it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to stay at Hogwarts and become a professor."

"I usually attend classes and watch the little wizards have fun, go out for a couple of drinks with my colleagues on weekends, visit my grandparents, and travel around the world during winter and summer vacations."

"Speaking of which, Rolf's brat brother is eleven years old this year. I wonder how he's doing at Ifamoni? I'll go visit him and Mom and Dad when I have time."

"My parents are really something. They only care that my grandfather and I didn't graduate from Hogwarts and they won't let young Ralph come to Hogwarts."

"I'm a professor at Hogwarts this year. With my good older brother, a professor, watching over him, how could little Ralph not graduate?"

"One of them is an Auror, the other is in charge of the Magical Creatures Management Department, and they also have a large farm to manage. They're all very busy. I wonder if they can keep an eye on Ralph?"

As they were thinking, Victor and Tom had already arrived at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Suddenly, Viktor raised an eyebrow and glanced discreetly at the bushes beside him.

Then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and at the same time, Tom, who seemed nonchalant, pounced on him.

The next moment, two exclamations rang out, and the clump of bushes twitched.

Then Tom pushed out a "human ball".

As the ball, which was made up of vines and two people that Tom had somehow twisted into a ball, rolled around, a scream rang out.

"Oh no! Tom, Tom, be gentle, I hit my head on a rock!"

"Hey George! Move your elbow away from me!"

Seeing the ball with two tufts of red hair roll in front of him, Viktor couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face.

No, I know the Weasleys are a large family, but even with a large number of people, you can't act like this.

How come this little red-haired guy keeps popping up after only one day of school?

In addition, there's Ron, whom I met when I went to pick up Harley.

So, out of the five Weasley children at Hogwarts, I've already encountered four of them in just two days.

Seeing Viktor cover his face, the two red-haired boys who had been caught red-handed were not afraid, but instead smiled and said.

"Dear Professor Victor!"

"Would you believe me if I said we were lost?"

Viktor raised an eyebrow at the grinning twins.

So Tom didn't have to untangle the two people who were stuck together.

"Lost? Was it on purpose, or by accident? Tell me, why did you two end up in the Forbidden Forest?"

"Oh, dear Professor Victor!"

"We really did get lost by accident!"

"Such a beautiful time on the first day of school!"

"We've come to play with Hagrid."

"As a result, I got lost without even realizing it."

Watching the smiling twins exchange a sentence in perfect unison.

Viktor then gave a "gentle" smile.

"You won't talk, huh? If you don't talk, I'll have Assistant Tom just push you two into the castle like this..."

At this point, Victor paused, looking at the twins' eyes that suddenly lit up.

He slowly uttered the next sentence, as if he were a demon.

"Then have Tom, the assistant professor, and you two push him to the door of Professor Snape's office."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't write it on your foreheads that you two entered the Forbidden Forest without permission."

After hearing the second half of Victor's words, the twins, who had just been about to say "cool," turned pale with fright.

How could there be such a vicious punishment in the world?

He hid the two most mischievous Gryffindors and pushed them in front of Snape, writing down their recent misdeeds on their foreheads.

What could be a crueler punishment in the world?

If that's the case, Gryffindor will become Gryffindor on the first day of school.

They will also be greeted with a limited-edition angry Professor McGonagall, and an unknown period of confinement.
