Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

This guy doesn't look like a normal person at all!

"Hmm..." Tom said, watching their lip movements.

Although Tom could only see Lanier's lip movements and not the boy sitting opposite him, Ms. Rosmerta thoughtfully set up a mirror opposite them and even smiled at Tom.

She seemed to know what Tom was going to do, which made Tom instantly aware of their conversation.

"The boy asked Lanier when he was getting married, and he said that they were old enough to get engaged."

Li Su gritted her teeth.

"The boy also asked... He said, 'What does Lanier plan to do with the more than 400 Galleons he made from an idiot?'"

As they spoke, their gazes simultaneously fell upon the "fool."

Li Su, the fool, gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Endure it, you must endure it at this time!

Once Tom avenges him, he'll jump in front of Raniere and give her a good beating, so that this damned woman will know just how powerful her backer really is!

"Tom, you can definitely get those 400 Galleons back, right?"

"It's hard to say," Tom shook his head. "I feel like they went a bit too far."

"Can't...get it back?" Li Su's lips trembled. "That's true. After all, it's already been given away, and we don't even know how much is left. It won't be easy to get it back."

Tom paused for a moment when he saw Li Su's sad expression: "Uh, no, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that I can't get it back... I just mean that they went too far. I might get back more than 400 Galleons."

Do you know what they're saying right now?

A rare flash of anger crossed Tom's face as he began to translate their conversation: "The two of them are now planning to squeeze more money out of you, and this time it's not 400 Galleons."

They said... they need at least 2000 Galleons from you to help Ranier pay for their wedding expenses.

"Damn it!" Tom exclaimed, slapping his thigh. "I didn't even get that many Galleons from you, how dare this guy do this? It's infuriating!"

“Tom…” Terry gasped and removed the hand from his leg. “No matter how excited you are, please slap your own leg. Do you know how strong you are? If you slap me like that, I’ll almost see my own ribs.”

"Feel sorry……"

Tom continued watching the two men, translating for them as he drank.

The translations all turned out to be saccharine love quotes.

Those sweet nothings were so cloying they were nauseating, even to Tom himself.

The reason for translating such disgusting stuff to Li Su and Terry is that Tom himself heard it and was disgusted by it. He couldn't be the only one who was disgusted, could he?

He should at least let the two people next to him suffer along with him, right? Otherwise, it would be too unfair!

I don't know how much time passed, but the sun was directly overhead.

It's noon.

The two decided to go somewhere else.

“How… should we say it?” Terry asked Tom.

When we're out and about, everything revolves around Tom.

If Tom tells him to go left, he won't go right, not even a slight turn to the right!

Even if Tom told him to jump off the cliff, Terry wouldn't have any doubts.

This shows absolute trust in Tom!

"Keep following him. I want to see how many more disgusting sweet nothings this guy has in store. F**K! I've never heard of anyone in my life say sweet nothings that are completely unique."

Tom rarely uses profanity to curse people.

In most cases, he would say something like, "Merlin's beard."

But Tom had already met Merlin.

I've also seen Merlin's beard.

Old Deng's beard was not enough to express the shock Tom felt.

If it weren't for the language barrier, Tom would have already yelled "Damn it!"

"Forget it, forget it." Li Su pulled the two of them away. "Tom, I feel like you're getting a little carried away. At worst, we can just give him all these Galleons. I don't want them."

Li Su wasn't unwilling to take revenge.

He was worried...

Li Su was worried that Tom might do something irreversible in a fit of anger.

Tomorrow, Hogwarts will send the three of them to the Ministry of Magic.

Tom was sent to Azkaban for killing a student, and the two of them were sent in together as accomplices.

He doesn't want to go to Azkaban.

"What are you afraid of, you coward! Come with me, I'll see how long they can keep talking today. Holy crap! This woman is secretly kissing her boyfriend! Damn it!"

“What the hell?” Terry asked. “You want to kiss Raniere too?”

"No, I was just complaining. After all, I've never even kissed Hermione, so why can he kiss his boyfriend now?"

"..."

Tom's way of thinking is something they can't keep up with.

Terry chose to remain silent.

At worst, Tom will make his move soon, and he will follow Tom. Later, they will fight their way out of Azkaban together.

Ministry of Magic?

Kill! Kill! Kill!

In the magical world, most people are dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic; that place is too arrogant and bullying!

Some magical families, in particular, hate the Ministry of Magic the most.

Of course, this excludes those who work in the Ministry of Magic.

……

Before we knew it, it was already evening.

"Tom, shouldn't we go back to school?"

"Go back my ass!" Tom snapped at Li Su behind him. "They've all gone to the hotel together, and you're still planning to go back to school? What do you think they're going to do at the hotel tonight?"

Li Su: "...I don't know."

Tom: "I don't know either. Maybe we played Wizards Chess together all night at the hotel, don't you think?"

Terry nodded vigorously: "That must be it. Otherwise, what can a boy and a girl do alone together, especially in a hotel?"

That guy isn't Tom. Only Tom can get a good, comfortable night's sleep when he's living with another girl.

Tom: "?"

He felt insulted by Terry, but couldn't find any evidence.

Ignoring Terry, Tom led the two to the hotel.

"Gentlemen, entry is not permitted here."

As soon as Tom and his two companions entered the hotel, they were stopped.

The receptionist wizard raised his hand: "It seems you're not old enough yet. Are you on a mission with your professor? We need to see proof that your advisor was present. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to stay overnight at the hotel. You should go back to school."

Before the two people behind him could speak, Tom reached into his pocket and took out a jade pendant.

"Professor Snape's testimony. Professor Snape said that if he didn't make it back in time, we should rest here for the time being."

The wizard picked up the token Tom handed him, examined it for a moment, and then returned it to Tom: "Understood. Give my regards to Professor Snape... Wait, your eyes!"

He suddenly noticed Tom's eyes, that deep green.

"You are Tom Riddle, Professor Snape's most prized student?"

"Tsk, I can't believe that old Snape got such a good deal. He's been bragging to me about how much of a genius I am, saying why I can't find a student like him!"

As he spoke, the wizard's face showed a pained expression, but he suddenly returned to normal: "Mr. Tom, you are always welcome here. If one day you get tired of working under Snape, you can come to me. Don't worry, I am also a Potions Master, and my skill in potions is no less than Snape's."

Li Su and Terry were both dumbfounded.

How come Tom is so popular wherever he goes?

And how does he have Professor Snape's proof?

Did Professor Snape trust him that much?

How enviable!

Thank you, I will consider it.

Tom smiled at the other person.

"I'll take you to your rooms. There should be enough for three people, one room per person. It's on the top floor."

Tom shook his head, put his arm around the wizard's shoulder, and led him to a corner, where he whispered something.

Then, Terry saw the wizard speak up: "There are many eyes watching here. If you use magic... especially a lock-picking spell, our inn will suffer losses. Tom, you should understand us. We cannot use lock-picking spells."

"So... I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow?"

Tom sighed, "It's okay, I understand."

“No.” The wizard reached into his pocket, took out a key, and handed it to Tom. “You just need to use the key to open the door. This key can open any door in the hotel, and they won’t suspect me.”

After all, I've been here for so long, no one would think I handed the keys to you.

After all, they trust me a lot... but using a lock-picking charm to open the door would be a different story; they'd think my inn wasn't safe enough.

Tom nodded: "Thank you, sir!"

“No, there’s no need to call me ‘sir.’” The old wizard forced a smile. “We are friends, and we are both Potions Masters. I hope we will have better opportunities to exchange ideas in the future.”

"Definitely!" Tom agreed.

Then, Tom led the two bewildered men upstairs.
