Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

"No... Tom, he just gave you the key? He just gave it to you like that?"

"What else?" Tom asked doubtfully. "No one else knows that I opened their door... but who will know that I did it? Who will believe it? They'll just think that those two little wizards caused trouble. Heh, Terry, Li Su, you're underestimating a Potions Master."

For the sake of two Hogwarts students, no one wants to mess with a Potions Master like me. If they can help, they will naturally do so.

“Awesome…” Terry gave a thumbs up.

He made up his mind that he would work hard after returning this time!

Strive to become a potion master!

If I ever catch someone cheating in the future, I want to be as impressive as Tom!

Although I myself am unlikely to be cheated on, ... in the future, there might be some confused younger students who might be cheated on.

It'll be time for me to make my move then!

Terry also wanted to be admired like Tom!

Chapter 134 A Love Story in Hogsmeade Village [Part 2]

“Oh, right, Tom, that gentleman hasn’t told us where we’re supposed to stay tonight.” Terry remembered something, turned around and patted Tom on the shoulder. “I’d really like to try it out. Why didn’t you agree to the luxury room on the rooftop he mentioned?”

Tom stopped in front of a room: "What we're going to do tonight isn't just rest. The best place to stay is right next to Lanier's place."

"A night raid?" Terry's eyes lit up immediately.

He's really looking forward to this!

Imagine, while Raniere and her boyfriend were still deeply in love, they suddenly barged in...

"Can't we just choose a room on the top floor? Why do we have to choose one next to Lanier's dormitory?"

Tom didn't answer him this time, but instead led Li Su and Terry to the empty room next door.

Tom waved his wand and chanted a spell on the wall.

The next moment—in just a blink of an eye!

The wall between them suddenly became transparent, startling Li Su.

He saw that Lanier had just finished showering and was still wearing his pajamas.

This was a sight he had never seen before.

At school, Lanier always appeared in front of Li Su with a noble demeanor.

In front of Li Su, Lanier was a noble senior.

She was older and more mature than Li Su, and her family background was also better than Li Su's...

In front of her, Li Su always felt ashamed and even felt that he was not good enough for Ranier.

Of course, this was due to Li Su's own cowardice; if it were Tom, he wouldn't care about these things.

Tom might even think...

A rich woman has fallen in love with me? Great, then I won't be short of money for the rest of my life...

"Tom, won't we get arrested by the Ministry of Magic for doing this? And! Will they be able to see us from their side?"

"Of course I can't see it. Why would I use such a stupid spell as two-way vision?" Tom shrugged. "Look, they're dividing the spoils. Wow, so many Galleons!"

"That's my Galon!" Li Su hardened, his fist hardened!

His four hundred gallons, which he had worked so hard to earn, were now lying on the table, casually taken out of his storage bag and tossed onto the table.

……

"How much money do you have left?" Lanier asked the wizard.

“More than three hundred Galleons, I suppose,” the wizard thought for a moment before answering Lanier. “But this guy is only a second-year student, how did he earn so many Galleons?”

Lanier gave a disdainful look: "This is nothing, just a mere four hundred Galleons. If it were Tom, he could easily grab a thousand or two Galleons. That's a true potion master, a true potion master!"

"Can't you even try to study Potions properly? Didn't we give you thirty Galleons to go out and learn Potions from someone else? Why are you still getting scolded in Professor Snape's class?"

The boy's expression immediately darkened: "That's Professor Snape! Professor Snape himself is a Potions Master. Taking thirty Galleons to study... what kind of Potions Master can I find to teach me?"

I'm already incredibly grateful that they're willing to teach me potions; to ask for anything else... that would be going too far.

Lanier glanced at the boy but didn't say anything.

She decided not to give this man any more money; it would be a waste to do so!

Tom was able to learn something real from Professor Snape, so why can't you?

Isn't it your own fault?

Why can't you look for the problem within yourself and then change it?

In that instant, Lanier suddenly felt that this boy was beyond redemption, and even being taught a lesson was a bit too much of a chore.

What a waste of your time!

Lanier continued counting the Galleons: "Including yours, there are a total of 832 Galleons, enough for me to have a very good Hogwarts term."

With this money, she could also buy Tom some gifts during the holidays.

If... if I could make Tom like me, that would be even better!

Lanier fantasizes about his daily life with Tom, holding hands and strolling around the school campus.

When that time comes, she will kick this poor wretch away without hesitation.

He's not good enough for me!

Someone who can only scrape together a few hundred Galleons in a semester doesn't deserve yourself!

She longed for a life of great wealth and luxury; otherwise, she would be struggling to make ends meet, barely managing to earn a pittance of Gallons.

Even when staying at a hotel, you can only choose the cheapest option!

If only we could go to the hotel on the top floor!

Unfortunately, a night's stay in such a place costs at least 100 gallons, which they can't afford.

On the other side, Tom's expression suddenly paused, and he pressed his palm against his ear.

No one noticed that the blue hue in Tom's eyes was taking over his entire pupil.

"You guys stay here and watch. Terry, write down what they said. I'm going out for a bit, and when I come back, tell me the whole story."

Terry saluted: "Mission accomplished!"

He wouldn't ask Tom what he was going to do.

Tom had his reasons for doing this.

What, you're questioning whether Tom did something wrong?

He's a Potions Master, why should he say Tom did something wrong?

Tom could never make a mistake!

……

Seeing Tom walk to the side, mutter a spell, and disappear from the spot, Terry turned his gaze back to the one-way mirror.

"Terry, was that teleportation Tom just used?" Li Su was somewhat surprised as he watched Tom disappear in front of him.

Teleportation is a highly difficult spell.

Furthermore, these students are not allowed to use teleportation abilities without permission.

Isn't Tom afraid of being arrested by the Ministry of Magic for doing this?

"Don't ask, don't look, just pretend you don't know anything. If anyone asks, just answer them with these three words: 'I don't know!'"

“I understand.” Li Su nodded, then suddenly pointed at Lanier in the mirror, “Look at that thing in her hand, it looks like some kind of magical item.”

It was an earring.

Sparkling blue crystal earrings.

The blue of the earrings was so crystalline that it almost sparkled, instantly captivating Terry and Li Su's gaze.

It was the first time they had ever seen such beautiful earrings.

Just by looking at the earrings, you can tell that they must be expensive.

"Have you seen that thing, Terry?"

Terry shook his head vigorously: "It's a pity Tom is gone, otherwise I might still be able to recognize what it is."

Li Su suddenly walked to a corner, picked up a chair, placed it on the ground, squatted down, and began to trace the earrings opposite her with a quill pen on the chair.

What are you doing?

“I learned to draw when I was earning Galleons… After all, it’s related to my business, and I can draw exactly what I see, a one-to-one replica.”

Tom said he wanted me to perfectly replicate everything he saw, right? The shape of these earrings is indescribable; I'll try my best to draw them.

"You're really amazing..." Terry exclaimed.

To be honest, Li Su is truly exceptional for someone who would go to such lengths to spend money on a girl.

If only he had set his sights a little further ahead... he might actually have become a Potions Master someday.

Of course, that's impossible now. After all, a potions master in his teens would be a laughing stock if he were released.

Unless your name is Tom.

……

"Teacher, you wanted to see me."

This was Tom's first time venturing into the Death Realm at night.

This area is somewhat different during the day and at night.

The Death Realm is shrouded in a hazy gray during the day, but at night...

The thick fog disappeared, and the towering wizard tower shimmered slightly, making it immediately noticeable no matter how far away you were.

Tom came to the realm of death after hearing the witch's summons.
