Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

Shadow's heart leaped into her throat.

Tom wasn't so nervous anymore.

Casting an invisibility spell on Misha was just for show; did you really think Professor Snape wouldn't notice?

Just kidding.

There are just some things that can't be said openly, otherwise Professor Snape would lose face.

“Professor, I think it might be inconvenient for the three of us to live together in your dormitory. You know, Isabel is a girl.”

"What do you mean?"

“I want Isabel to come back to my Ravenclaw dorm with me, so I can take care of her there.”

Snape scoffed, "She's just a magical creation, perhaps not the same thing as the 'person' you understand, Tom."

“In my eyes, she’s just a girl.” Tom patted Shadow’s head. “Professor Snape, girls are perfect things. I want Isabel to be happy. No matter what the outcome, as long as Isabel is by my side, I should give her a normal girl’s life.”

She likes pretty dresses, I'll buy them for her; she likes delicious pastries, I can pay for those too. Professor, I'm not short of money. Gallons are just material possessions; no amount of Gallons can buy a child a happy childhood.

Snape paused for a while, gritted his teeth, and said coldly, "Whatever. I hope you don't scream when you encounter the mysterious person tonight. Even if you do, I won't rush to your dormitory. I'll just offer you incense the following year."

"Professor Snape, if I may, I would like to burn more paper money, so that I can live a more comfortable life in the underworld."

Snape rolled his eyes at Tom: "I hope you won't say that again next time. I don't want to see any Hogwarts student die."

After finishing his call, Snape gave the two of them a cold look and stormed out.

"You may use the secret room here as you wish before curfew."

Isabel, Tom has a lot of faith in you, and I hope you'll prove him wrong.

In all the years since Hogwarts was founded, no student has ever entered with your status. You may not know it, but many people, hundreds... no, thousands of people are watching you!

It wasn't just the young wizards at Hogwarts; everyone else—the Ministry of Magic, wizards from other magic schools—almost everyone was watching you!

Suddenly, the shadow felt an invisible pressure.

She glanced at Tom behind her, opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

"Don't worry, relax, my friend. No matter what happens, I'll be here with you."

There is only one feeling associated with shadows.

—He had nothing left but Tom.

But could Tom change his bad habits?

Shadow turned her head away, her wheat-colored cheeks flushed slightly from Tom's words.

That shameless Tom, how can he say anything like that?

The shadow cupped its face in its hands.

Before, her face looked like a small chocolate cake; now, someone has smeared strawberry jam on the chocolate cake.

Is he that gentle with every girl?

Suddenly, this question popped into Shadow's mind.

No, Tom is probably just being nice to me.

Shadow patted his face to calm himself down.

Take a deep breath—

“You can go back to your dorms now.” Snape glanced at the two, completely ignoring the strangeness in their shadows. “I hope you don’t sneak out of your dorms tonight, Tom. Don’t bring your bad habits to the students who haven’t even entered the school yet.”

Tom nodded. "Sweet dreams tonight."

Of course, Snape did not respond to Tom's remark.

Even Lily couldn't get Snape to say "sweet dreams," so Tom certainly wouldn't be able to get him to say such an embarrassing word.

"Isabel, may I enter my shadow?"

"Of course, of course!"

The shadow stood on Tom's shadow, then darted down and slipped inside.

Without any warning, Tom didn't feel anything unusual.

If I had to explain it, it would simply be that I sensed someone was watching me.

It wasn't the lewd look of some Japanese person who's living a good life on the train, but rather a look of doting affection.

With a long time to go before curfew, Tom didn't go straight back to his dormitory. Instead, he wandered around Hogwarts with his shadow.

"Don't get close to that thing. That's a 'beating willow.' If you get close, it won't be polite and will leave a deep mark on your body with its vines."

"That's the girls' dormitory in Gryffindor. At Hogwarts, boys are never allowed to enter the girls' dormitory."

—Although Hermione had used her own body to go inside before, she paid a heavy price that time. The Weasley twins were put in solitary confinement for a long time for helping Hermione.

“That’s the greenhouse. Misha should live there. If you want to find Misha, you can go in. Professor Sprout is a very nice person. She won’t dislike you.”

While introducing the shadow, Tom spotted a familiar face.

"Senior."

Senior Zhang Qiu had been lazily yawning, but after hearing Tom's call, she looked over and waved to him.

How can there be such beautiful girls at Hogwarts!

This time, Shadow was truly on guard.

She looked at Zhang Qiu's face, and slowly a head emerged from the ground.

"Tom, you're back too... Good heavens, what's hiding in your shadow?"

Senior Zhang Qiu quickly took a step back, cautiously hugging herself: "Tom, be careful!"

“It’s alright.” Tom smiled when he saw the shock on Cho’s face. “Isabel, this is Cho Zhang, a second-year Ravenclaw student. She’s a very smart and powerful wizard.”

Isabelle?

Zhang Qiu looked at Tom's shadow with a puzzled expression. The head slowly emerged from the ground and shook her.

"Tom, this is..."

“My sister, Isabelle Riddle,” Tom introduced the new name the shadow had given him. “Isn’t that amazing? She can hide in the shadows.”

Zhang Qiu nodded slightly, staring thoughtfully at the shadow beneath Tom's feet: "It's incredible that a wizard can do something like this."

This is simply unheard of.

However, it would be understandable if she were Tom's sister.

Tom is so strong, how weak can his sister be?

You could even say that Tom's ancestor was Merlin, or that would be more in line with reality.

"Senior, why are you still out so late?"

Zhang Qiu slumped after hearing Tom's words: "Sigh, I received the letter so suddenly, I hadn't even realized it before Professor McGonagall brought me here."

Zhang Qiu sighed: "I didn't get much rest last night. I even made plans with my Muggle friends today to go shopping together, but unfortunately, the opportunity has fallen through."

No matter where they are, holidays are always the most anticipated part of life for students.

But because of that wretched mysterious person, the holiday was ruined.

"Then you can rest in your dorm."

Zhang Qiu shrugged: "There's no one in the dorm. I can't even find someone to talk to... By the way, Tom, where's Hermione?"

Zhang Qiu suddenly realized that Hermione should be sticking to Tom, but this time she didn't seem to see Hermione at all.

Did she go to rest?

"Hermione didn't come; she's been staying at the Weasleys' house for a while now."

"What a pity."

"It's okay, I can chat with you. You can come to me anytime if you get bored."

The shadows on the ground suddenly became extremely alert!

Why is Tom so nice to everyone?

Can't we just leave this insignificant person aside?

"Um... I will, I will." Zhang Qiu repeated twice, scratching her head. "By the way, what's available in the cafeteria today? I'm a little hungry."

"Sandwiches, hamburgers, and unlimited lemon tea, senior, you can choose first. I still need to take Isabel back to the dorm. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Zhang Qiu watched Tom's departing figure, somewhat puzzled.

Isn't Isabel a girl? Should I take her back to the dorm?

Perhaps we should take Isabel to the girls' dormitory?

As she walked, Zhang Qiu recalled Isabel's face.

Speaking of which, Isabel is really beautiful.

She's just as good as Hermione.

But they are siblings, yet they don't look alike at all?

……

Ravenclaw dormitory.

Without any hindrance, Tom entered the dormitory with his shadow.

Li Su is such a good person. He made the bed and even left a note on it.

Tom opened the note.
