Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

Chapter 72 Love Letter

Tom hadn't even gotten anxious yet, but Hermione, who had just said those words, was already in a panic. She looked so anxious that if you put her underwater, she'd probably start blowing bubbles right away.

“I didn’t mean anything by it, I just said… I mean…” Hermione coughed twice, “Anyway, you’re going back to the orphanage, and as a wizard, you probably won’t get along with them, so why don’t you, um… come and stay with me for a while?”

Miss Granger, please calm down. I didn't mean anything by it.

Tom pursed his lips, looking thoughtful: "Hmm...it's a dilemma. I had already made plans for this vacation."

The light in Hermione's eyes disappeared.

"But since you've already invited me..."

Hermione's eyes lit up again!

"Okay, will staying with you for a short time affect your parents' lives?" Tom thoughtfully considered Hermione's parents.

"No, they need to travel for work and won't be home this week!"

What? Nobody's home?

Tom was taken aback.

In other words, for the next week, Hermione and I will be alone, going back and forth, spending time by ourselves.

Does that mean I can do anything?

Hehehe...

Tom's inner devil chuckled.

A week, a whole week!

I can use Hermione's Galleons at will, as well as the cauldrons and various herbs in her room.

Although those items weren't as complete as the potions in Snape's potions lab, but...

Tom has many potions he wants to experiment with, and it's not safe in the potions office. If Snape were to discover Tom brewing some evil potion one day, he would definitely point his finger at Tom and start cursing him.

"Tom, you bastard, what evil things are you doing now? You're a born evil dark wizard..."

Tom rubbed his hands together: "Okay, I'll pack my things now. To be honest, I wasn't planning on leaving this holiday."

Hermione asked in confusion, "Then why are you leaving so early in the morning? Can't you sleep in a little longer during your vacation?"

Sleep? Comfort is for the dead!

Tom pointed into the distance: "I was planning to ask a few professors to let Misha come and stay with us for a few days, but now we can postpone that."

“Misha?” Hermione exclaimed in surprise.

She remembered Misha.

The girl who garnered the most attention in the orphanage was Misha.

That little guy is an obedient and sensible child, although he's a bit stubborn... Also, there's always something hidden in Misha's eyes, something very deep inside.

Hermione only notices a tiny bit of something amiss when she appears before Misha as "Tom Riddle"—not much, but there is something there nonetheless.

Misha treats Tom differently than she treats others; she treats him completely differently.

Hermione could hardly describe the intimacy and affection she showed towards Tom.

Because Misha didn't reveal it—at least not completely; Misha's tail would only be revealed in the smallest of actions.

“You can bring Misha to stay at my house,” Hermione instinctively replied to Tom.

“Misha? Forget it.” Tom shook his head. “Misha is shy around strangers. Although Misha knows you, we’re not that close yet. Hmm… let’s talk about it next time.”

"Then how could you bring Misha to Hogwarts? Hogwarts is..." Hermione suddenly had an idea and covered her mouth with her hand.

Could it be that Misha is also a witch?!

Oh my god...

"Alright, you should go pack your things and leave now," Hermione said hastily.

"I need to go and tell the professors first." Tom said, patting the red scarf on his chest as he backed away. "Thank you for the Christmas gift. It's very warm. It's so nice to have you this winter."

Hermione's heart skipped a beat.

What is this guy talking about?!

How could he say such a thing in front of so many people? Doesn't he feel ashamed?

……

Tom walked down the corridors of Hogwarts. There were so many students going home, so many, so many!

Moreover, these people were always watching him; no matter where Tom went, their eyes were always on him.

Tom is going to get angry!

Finally, someone stepped forward and stood in front of Tom.

She was a senior student.

How did Tom know she was his senior?

—Looks can be deceiving, hairstyles can be deceiving, clothes can be deceiving, but two heavy lumps of flesh on the chest cannot lie.

Tom couldn't believe that a first grader could be that big!

Tom looked up into the eyes of the senior student (senior student D): "Hello, may I ask... is there anything I can help you with?"

The senior student was very anxious. She bowed and said, "Hello, I've heard that you're Tom Riddle, a first-year student. I... my name is..."

The senior student was so anxious that she bit her tongue and couldn't even clearly state her own name.

"Mr. Riddle, your performance on the dance floor yesterday was absolutely brilliant! I have never seen anyone dance as perfectly as you, nor have I ever seen anyone as handsome as you!"

Tom thought to himself, "I'm done."

Stop praising me! So many people are watching. You're making me blush.

Senior Empress, if you keep doing this, I might just give you my own child!

“Mr. Riddle, I like you. Please go out with me.”

Tom: "?"

"I'm not talking about the Great Emperor Senior, I was just joking, are you serious?"

Hundreds of eyes were immediately drawn to Tom and his senior.

That's not how it works in the game. Why did you confess to me right away? You should do this first, then that, then that, and then confess to me later, and then trigger a special CG with me on a specific holiday.

hiss……

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I skipped all the previous steps with someone and triggered a special CG, and twice at that!

—The first time was in the Monster Forest, where Tom rescued Hermione from the clutches of many trolls. The second time was yesterday, when the grand venue became Tom and Hermione's stage, and everyone was cheering for them.

I'm going to stay at Hermione's house for a week this time, and I'm determined to make her make up for all of this.

Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?

How can you skip the preceding steps and go straight to the special CG?!

"Mr. Riddle, I'm sorry, have I caused you any trouble?" The Great Emperor Senior Sister lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.

It's clear that although Senior Sister Dadi got into A-level, she's not as shameless as Tom.

Even under the watchful eyes of many, Senior Sister Dadi still gets shy.

Everyone was waiting for Tom's answer.

Some people cheered, some people applauded, and some people gritted their teeth in envy.

The two, gritting their teeth, were already planning to cancel their tickets and stay to beat up Tom.

—Terry and Li Su.

The two of them were on their way home when they witnessed this scene.

Chapter 73 Santa Claus - Tom Riddle

"Thank you for your love letter."

Tom Riddle smiled and shook the senior's hand: "Senior, your hand is so warm. I know you must be a gentle person. You have a strong heart and incredible courage. I guess you are from Gryffindor."

Senior Sister Dadi nodded.

"Senior, I have received your love letter. Thank you so much. This is the first time I have ever received a love letter. I never expected it to be from such a beautiful senior. I am so happy."

The Great Emperor's face lit up with joy, but she heard Tom say "but".

"But, senior, you need to know that you should know what you're thinking."

"What... am I thinking?" Senior Sister Dadi looked at Tom with a puzzled expression, not understanding what she meant.

Tom's lips curled slightly: "Senior, you were just fooled by me yesterday. After all, I was wearing a gorgeous formal dress yesterday, but I'm not like that in private. I'm a kid that gives many professors a headache. Senior, you should spend more time getting to know me. You need to take some time to calm yourself down."

If on that day, your thoughts are still the same as today, I will definitely give you an answer.

The Great Emperor Senior Sister fell silent, then blinked.

Should we refuse or agree?

It seems like they didn't refuse, but it also seems like they didn't agree either, or rather... they half-agree?

Did Tom mean that I should get to know him better, and if I still like him then... we could date?

Tom is such a gentle gentleman.

Unfortunately, Tom had no idea what the Great Senior was thinking.

Otherwise, I'll definitely make her eat shit.

After seeing off Senior Sister Emperor, Senior Sister Emperor Number Two has arrived.

“Mr. Riddle, may I book you for next year’s Christmas ball? I’d like to be your dance partner.”

Dude, am I some kind of hot commodity?
