Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts

Seeing that this tactic wasn't working, Dumbledore said helplessly, "So you won't accept this notebook, but you can't expect me to just leave it alone? Let that notebook continue to be with Ginny Weasley day and night."

Kane, a seasoned veteran of the underworld, once again understood Dumbledore's latest move.

"Moral blackmail! Do you think that will work on me?"

Dumbledore smiled at Kane, but in less than fifteen seconds, the latter broke down.

"Alright, it does work." Kane waved his hand helplessly. "As for that book, you can confiscate it yourself. I can't be Tom's caretaker and also the villain who steals his book, can I?"

“Of course not.” Dumbledore smiled and pulled a small bag tightly wrapped in a dragon skin from under his desk.

"Ah ha~ Very efficient indeed." Kane raised his eyebrows and was about to open the dragon skin package when Dumbledore stopped him.

"Open it only after you leave the office, and make sure no one else sees it, nobody." After saying that, Dumbledore seemed to remember something else: "And Miss Granger's Polyjuice Potion, let her keep brewing it. It's a very good opportunity to practice advanced potions before graduation."

Kane, who was about to leave with his book, suddenly paused: "So no one told you it's illegal to spy on young wizards?"

Dumbledore instinctively thought that there was no such rule in the wizarding world, since the laws of the wizarding world were not much different from the dreams that people had at night.

However, after thinking it over, he realized that doing so would only reduce the efficiency of his communication with Kane, so he chose a more effective way to communicate.

He took a bucket of almonds from his desk drawer and handed it to Kane.

The latter took it and nodded in agreement: "You're right, this is indeed a rare opportunity for practical experience."

Chapter 142 Tom's Taming Plan [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

After leaving the principal's office, Kane went straight to the Potions classroom, intending to give Tom a good talking-to there.

After Snape bullied everyone except Kane in the last Potions class, the seating arrangement for the four of them now has a new option.

Kane is the first choice to sit next to Harry, as for Harry...

If Snape hadn't forbade it, Harry would have been swept into the Potions rubbish heap by the three of them and made to sit next to the rubbish cans.

In short, after a fight scene reminiscent of the martial arts novel "Fist of Fury," Hermione ultimately prevailed, as Harry was completely outmatched after being drugged by Dobby yesterday, rendering him utterly weak and his fighting ability extremely poor.

As for Ron... it's well known that girls are fast and fierce at eleven or twelve years old, so Ron naturally couldn't outmaneuver Hermione.

Throughout the class, Hermione finally realized just how carefree Kane, this Celestial Dragon, really was. To be honest, even during Snape's most rigorous class, he was just drawing stick figures in a notebook, and Snape didn't bother with him.

This was something Hermione had never even dared to dream of in her previous life.

Kane, of course, had no idea what Hermione was thinking; he simply focused on training Tom.

"I said, Tom, you said it."

"Tom."

【...】

"Tom."

【...】

"Tom!!!"

【...】

Kane pursed his lips in exasperation. This Tom guy was quite shameless. Thinking of this, he slowly cast a sliver of shadow onto the notebook. He knew that Tom would definitely sense the awesomeness of this sliver of shadow.

Sure enough, Tom responded very quickly.

【? ? ? 】

Kane raised an eyebrow, then picked up a quill and wrote on it: "Want it?"

【….】

"Tom~"

【.....arrive.】

"Very good, Tom, this is your reward." Kane said, beginning to relax his control over the shadow. Just as Tom, as if he hadn't eaten in eight hundred years, was about to absorb the shadow into the book, Kane suddenly raised his hand and lifted the shadow up.

【? ? ? 】

“Say thank you,” Kane wrote bluntly in the book.

【......Thanks.】

"Thank you to whom?"

[I will not betray my dignity, and besides, you are the least lovable of all the little wizards I have ever met.]

"Who cares if you think it's cute? Just stay there in the book." Kane raised an eyebrow, about to lift that sliver of shadow.

However, Tom was indeed Tom; his strength was so great that it was truly astounding. Kane pulled for a while, then, somewhat helplessly, flicked the book's head with his other hand, finally managing to pull out his last bit of shadow.

You'll regret it.

“I never regret it.” Kane clicked his tongue twice at Tom’s dog barking, then closed the notebook and stuffed it directly into the little pumpkin’s mouth.

But then I thought, wouldn't that be too hurtful to Tom?

After thinking it over, he slowly controlled the shadow to climb onto the little pumpkin, transforming it into a shadow pumpkin.

Tom, inside the little pumpkin's mouth, first subconsciously felt a sense of falling, and then suddenly realized that there were many more of the shadowy auras he had just sensed around him.

Just when he thought that the uncouth little wizard had backed down and needed him, his most respected senior student and his older brother, he suddenly discovered that the shadows were extremely solid.

In short... he couldn't tear it off at all.

Okay, okay, so you're just leaving it here to tempt people, huh?

I, Tom, have never been so undignified!

I will endure!

Unlike Tom, who was eagerly waiting in the shadows, Kane seemed completely unconcerned, going to class and leaving get out of class every day, occasionally visiting Hermione's potion chamber, living a carefree life.

Hermione has now basically determined who they need to investigate, after all, Ron once said something quite insightful.

Nowadays, apart from Malfoy, the rest of the Slytherin members all have a bit of an abnormal look. After all, it's not possible for Slytherin to pursue both pure bloodlines and authoritative physical attributes and magical talent.

So much so that nowadays, Hermione is always the last to leave the classroom after class, and then, like a psychopath, she starts meticulously searching every inch of the Slytherin students' seats.

Search for their fallen hair.

To avoid revealing that Hermione was a psychopath, Kane and his two friends had to cover for her in the classroom every time.

Whenever someone asks, "Why is Hermione always the last one to leave the classroom, and why does she always linger in the same spot she sat in Slytherin, as if searching for some strange bodily tissue? Is Hermione a pervert?"

Kane and the other two stepped forward to help Hermione regain her lost reputation, proving that she was merely searching for Slytherin students' hairs and secretly casting spells to curse them with sores on their heads and pus flowing from their feet.

The young wizards, including the Slytherin students, all breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

As long as they're not perverted, it's just a curse. As heirs of pure-blood families, having grown up surrounded by knowledge of magic and curses, they certainly won't be afraid.

And then, whenever this happens, Kane and his two companions have to set out.

The gist of it was that the three of them sneaked up behind a Slytherin student on a dark and mysterious night, first using a panpipe hypnotic charm to put the student into a deep sleep, and then Harry and Ron began their performance.

From then on, Hermione seemed to be the kind of old-fashioned witch from Grimm's fairy tales who lived deep in the forest, picking mushrooms and brewing potions, and cursing anyone who dared to approach her to death.

They are incomparable to the young wizards of Hogwarts, who live in an ivory tower and whose duels are governed by morality.

It was a pure case of being outmatched. Luckily, Dumbledore secretly vouched for her, otherwise Hermione would have been secretly put in a sack and burned at the stake by those wizards at Hogwarts long ago.

After all, even old-school witches would say Hermione's behavior was too extreme.

Two weeks later, Hermione slowly pulled out a magical little notebook, each page of which contained the hair of a Slytherin student.

"This is it, it's time to go and disguise yourself as a Slytherin to get some answers from Malfoy. Parkinson, Crabbe, Goyle, those are the three of us. Now I need you to get those three..."

"Silence them?" Ron raised his wand.

“Just let them be unconscious for a while,” Hermione said, rolling her eyes.

Harry and Ron nodded. Their fighting ability was definitely top-notch for their age, and they returned in almost half an hour.

Hermione then took out three bottles of Polyjuice Potion and three hairs and handed them to Kane, Harry, and Ron.

As for Hermione herself...

The role she had booked had already been snatched away by Kane, who, according to him, knew better than anyone else how to act.

At this moment, Kane picked up the short, shiny black hair that should belong to Parkinson's. He didn't know why Parkinson's hair was so long and dull, and where it came from to grow such a short, shiny, and stiff hair.

But who cares? Life is too short to give it a try!

Chapter 143 This cat-like person in front of me, could it be...?

When Harry and Ron returned, this was the scene they saw: Hermione was somewhat flustered, helping Kane tidy his clothes and the messy hair on his head.

Unfortunately, those fuzzy hairs just wouldn't budge; they were like they'd been sprayed with hairspray, sticking up as firmly as they could possibly.

After tidying up for a while, Hermione realized that she was probably doing something futile, so she turned around and started to try other ways to make Kane, who had been turned into a cat because she had accidentally confused human hair with cat hair, feel a little bit of pain.

For example, he scratched the pair of erect, triangular ears that were now growing on Kane's head, and Kane obliged, pursing his lips into a W shape and closing his eyes to enjoy it.

"So Merlin, what is this?" Harry looked at the scene with some confusion, glancing back at Ron and behind him.

There was no one behind me.

So Kane didn't secretly go out with them just now?

In other words, is the cat-headed man being petted by Hermione in front of us Kane?

Kane seemed to see the doubt in Harry's mind and shrugged: "Well, it's not just the head."

After saying that, he even stretched out his hand to show his respect: "Obviously, you're all cat-like."

"Cool! Does that mean you can go to class without clothes on?" Ron exclaimed.

In an instant, everyone in the small room looked at Ron in shock. Clearly, Ron's astonishing statement was even more shocking than Kane suddenly turning into a cat.

Kane reluctantly pulled the three long tufts of hair from his chin to his neck out of his collar and placed them outside his clothes.

Unlike Kane, who was trying to make himself more comfortable, Hermione removed Kane's ears and began to stand a little further away to observe the benefactor who had saved her from the tragic fate of becoming a cat-headed creature.

Yes, it has long hair, a distinct ruff around its neck, tiger stripes all over its body, erect ears, and an aggressive look on its face.

Clearly, the cat that Ms. Pansy Parkinson petted in her dorm room was a Siberian Forest Cat, which is why Kane now resembles a thoroughly long-haired cat, with his fur all over his body being unruly.
