Before Mo Fei received the permission to go to Hogsmeade, Kyle, who followed him back to the orphanage, took the lead to go there for inspection.
As a wizard, he is much more convenient than Mo Fei.
At least when it comes to going to the Wizarding Town, it's much simpler for him.
Just when Apparition came outside the town, and then walked into the town, he had already entered the place closest to Hogwarts.
--
While Mo Fei and others are studying all over the world, Tom is also growing rapidly among Hogwarts.
Let's talk about the time when Tom accepted Slytherin's invitation and planned to attend a dinner party exclusive to Slytherin.
In fact, this is a special trial.
No matter how good a noble behaves, some details can easily be exposed during the banquet.
As the heirs of the Pure-blood aristocracy, they are very good at drawing portraits of Tom through these scattered fragments, and thus how to get along with Tom...
Of course, Slughorn is aware of this banquet.
He did not remind Tom what he needed to pay attention to. He also wanted to know how far this Half-blood wizard who came out of the Muggle orphanage could achieve. His investment in him would also depend on his performance...
But to be honest, he didn't have much expectations.
The orphanage he went to before was obviously not a training base for nobles. It was surprising that Half-blood who came out of it was able to achieve what he has achieved now.
There is no airtight news in the school. The news that Tom, the top honors student in the first grade, was invited to attend an exclusive dance for Slytherin, had already spread throughout the campus before Tom even noticed.
Xiaoying thinks this is normal. As the best freshman among Slytherin this year, no one is more suitable than him.
The little lions have a more complicated perception of him.
After all, it is a very important point. Even the reckless Gryffindor knows that this signal means that the little wizard is likely to become the mainstay of Slytherin in the future. When facing disputes with Slytherin in the future, they need to pay attention to this guy.
But when they looked at the first-year students in their college, no, even the second-year students, they couldn't help but have dark eyes.
These little lions are obviously very different from Tom.
The little badger was the one who had nothing to do with himself. They just kept discussing what this matter would be like in the end. Some of them also found out why this banquet suddenly became so important - Tom refused to participate many times before...
So what is the reason for participating this time?
But when we focus on the little snake, it becomes a bit complicated.
Some Slytherin breathed a sigh of relief. Before, Tom always traveled outside everyone. He didn't have any familiar enough friends among Slytherin, and he hardly participated in the games between them. This attitude made them very uncomfortable...
But now, his attitude seems to have softened, which is a good thing...
But there are still some who hold a skeptical attitude, and they are more wary of Tom. Of course, some of them are fanning the flames, and there is also the reason why his identity is too mysterious...
However, all the solutions lie in the agreed banquet.
This week does not seem to have much impact on Tom. He still takes Slytherin to complete everything he should deal with, and then completes his homework and continues his plant cultivation...
The most important thing is that I still take time to master various Charms...
The turmoil in Hogwarts seems to have nothing to do with him at all.
As long as you don't pay too much attention to other people's sudden gaze, just treat it as if you didn't see it.
Although he is only eleven years old, his appearance and demeanor give people an extremely mature feeling... Because of his indifference, some first and second grade wizards even gave him the title of "Indifferent Young Master".
Tom didn't know about it. Of course, even if he knew about it, he would just smile and forget about it without a care.
Finally the day of the dinner arrived.
Although it is said to be a dinner party, it is actually more similar to afternoon tea, but it may last until very late.
Fortunately, it is the weekend and no one has classes.
Tom Although he has never participated in such a banquet, he has heard many descriptions.
You know, among the children who left the orphanage, two of them actually entered the royal family. The grand scenes they had seen far exceeded this level.
And every time those two people returned to the orphanage, the stories they brought were listened to by Tom.
Banquets between nobles always have one most important protagonist and one most important theme.
Either as the first meeting into the aristocratic class, or as a tacit communication between each other, or as a way to show off or demonstrate...
In short, in the words of Jimmy, "When facing a large number of people you want to contact, you'd better let them know your bottom line the first time... Otherwise, the endless testing may make you irritated... And how to reject others is a skill..."
Then, he and Lucy kept telling about their experiences.
And with what they talked about at the beginning, Tom now becomes very simple.
As long as you show your importance and at the same time prevent everyone from tempting you at will.
In order to achieve such a goal, he was thinking about whether to expose his Parseltongue. Presumably the blood of Slytherin can eliminate a lot of trouble...
But in the end, he gave up.
According to some information he found in the library, Slytherin seemed to have some unpleasantness with the other Big Three during the later period of Hogwarts, and then left here...
Now he doesn't know what happened in the first place, but if his identity is exposed, he has a hunch that it may be more troublesome to investigate everything.
Therefore, in the end he decided to just show off his strength.
However, now that he has such an opportunity, he still has one thing to do--
That is to show the clothes Kyle specially made for him.
Even if it is advertising.
For the first time, he opened the innermost compartment of his suitcase.
Several pieces of clothing popped out of it.
But even after being kept inside for so long, they didn't even have any excessive wrinkles. If wizards who pay attention to appearance saw this, they would be ecstatic.
How much space can this save?
You know, Undetectable Extension Charm has been restricted because of someone, and cannot be used in suitcases at will. This has become an important reason for restricting many wizard costumes.
But now, Tom just feels a little overwhelmed. Which outfit should I choose?
Two of them can be eliminated quickly. One of them looks like clothes made of leaves. It doesn't look like something you can wear every day. However, it is said that if you wear this clothes and walk in the jungle, you can get a lot of help. At least you won't be tripped by falling vines or scratched by passing thorns...
There is another set, which is completely like nothing, sometimes transparent, sometimes turning into snow-white silk... But no matter how you look at it, the degree of exposure of this dress is not within the acceptable range of Tom.
If Kyle hadn't forced this piece of clothing into him, he would have secretly taken it out and destroyed it, even though it looked extremely comfortable.
After much deliberation, Tom finally chose a piece of clothing that didn't look so exaggerated, and then put it on herself.
