For the rest of the time, Tom was immersed in reading. It wasn't until they got off the train that he and Malfoy said goodbye and left.
Malfoy looked at him carrying the suitcase alone, and there was a trace of ambiguity in his eyes that he had never noticed before.
After returning to London, he still needs to leave by himself. Doesn't he have House-elf at home?
What kind of Pure-blood families, after arriving at the station, did not let House-elf take it home quickly? Isn't that a waste of time?
Unless his family has problems...
Malfoy lowered his head and whispered into the air next to him, "Qiqi, follow up and see where our chief Riddle's home is? Don't let anyone find out..."
"Yes!"
A replying voice came from the air. Obviously, House-elf in Malfoy family has been waiting here for a long time.
When I was at Hogwarts, some things were difficult to investigate, but when I returned to London, it was much simpler.
House-elf, named Qiqi, followed not far from Tom until it passed the barrier used to block Muggle.
But when she just came out of the barrier, she felt a huge force that hit her body directly. At that moment, the survival instinct was activated instantly, Apparition unfolded directly, and she returned to Malfoy in horror...
Then he kept banging his head on the ground.
"It's all Qiqi's fault. Qiqi was afraid of death. Qiqi lost the master's order. Qiqi is guilty..."
This time, she did not hide her traces. Because she kowtowed, blood appeared on her head, and her nose and tears also flowed down. She looked very embarrassed.
More importantly, it seems that such a scene is about to be seen by others.
Malfoy instantly darkened his face, "Damn,... take me home quickly, and I'll deal with you when I get back..."
"Don't touch me with your hands..."
Malfoy's disgusted voice still stayed in place, but his body had returned to the Malfoy Manor.
After returning to a familiar place and with no outsiders around, he started punishing him directly...
He kicked Qiqi to the ground and stared at her with a horrified expression--
"... Now... you... tell me a little bit... about what happened when you crossed the barrier... I want to know what happened..."
Qiqi did not resist at all at this time, but began to remember.
"... Master, I listened to your instructions. In order to prevent the little wizard from leaving through Apparition, I followed him when I passed through the barrier. The distance was about an arm's length... As soon as I passed through the barrier... Before I could see clearly... I felt a huge attack coming towards me..."
"Like Killing Curse, it can completely annihilate my existence..."
"At that time, the instinct in my body acted spontaneously and took me directly away from where I was..."
"It's all Qiqi's fault. Even if he died, Qiqi should have seen that wizard's face clearly..."
Malfoy, who was still angry at first, calmed down at this time.
"Killing Curse? You can immediately activate Killing Curse when you sense someone is following you, without worrying about human life at all. This is a very ancient dark wizard style. It seems that our chief's family is also very unusual..."
"If this is the case, then the investment seems to be very suitable..."
Thinking of this, he was a little happy.
He kicked the House-elf away from his feet, completely ignoring her constant confession, took out his wand and shot Scourgify at the soles of his shoes several times, and then slowly stepped into the hall...
--
Back outside King's Cross Station, Mo Fei retracted his action of patting Tom behind him.
He looked thoughtfully at Tom not far behind him.
"Tom, is there any magic that people can't see or feel?"
He suddenly asked this question.
When he was at France, he seemed to have been exposed to many mysterious alchemical items, and his own perception had become much sharper, so he was able to detect slight abnormalities.
Following Tom at such a close distance is not a friendly gesture no matter how you look at it, so he used this method to remind Tom to pay attention to safety.
Tom's happy expression froze for an instant, and instead turned around nervously, looking at the position behind him as well.
"Yes, there is a magic called Disillusionment Charm, which can hide one's body. If one is skilled enough, one can even hide one's voice and movements, making one completely disappear in place..."
"However, this magic, logically speaking, should be a magic that can only be learned in the sixth grade... Is it possible..."
Tom knew that he had no way to force out the hidden enemy, so he directly let Horned Serpent sense it.
As a very special magical creature, Horned Serpent's horn has many special abilities. It can sense the surrounding life forms. This is a very important ability...
When I was still young, this ability was somewhat unrevealed, but after a year of dedicated training, it has grown a lot now.
Horned Serpent circled the barrier several times, and then returned to Tom.
"Hiss, hiss" (There seemed to be other existences here before, but they are gone now...)
After receiving the conclusive news, Tom pondered for a moment.
"Dean, let's go back. You probably came here to test my identity. You should have scared me away now. Nothing will happen in a short time..."
Now that Tom confirmed it, Mo Fei did not become vigilant again.
He walked out of the gate with Tom, and then got on the carriage back.
After setting foot on the land of the orphanage again, Tom felt like he was back home.
Opened the door.
Except for Jimmy, everyone was there. Aiwen and Aisha looked at him enthusiastically. Lina was bringing out the food in plates. Mia was wearing Wearing gorgeous clothes, Lina was chatting with him. Boer and Kyle were still bragging. Zane walked out of the study, holding a book that looked very heavy in his hand...
"Welcome home...Tom..."
At this moment, Tom's eyes were really wet.
Obviously, the wizard should be his family and home, but for some reason, he felt a real sense of peace of mind in this small orphanage, which was far inferior to Hogwarts.
"Well... I'm back..."
Mo Fei pushed Tom, "What are you doing standing still? Go wash your hands and eat quickly. Everyone is waiting for you. You need to make up for yourself when you get back from school..."
Because of the presence of Aisha, they didn't tell anyone about the wizard, but this warm atmosphere was enough to satisfy people.
"... ah... ok..."
Tom, who returned to the orphanage, seemed to be a little stunned. After being reminded by Mo Fei, he hurriedly put his luggage aside, and then went to the bathroom to wash up...
Tom came back and the dinner party officially started.
Almost all the dishes on this table are made by Mo Fei, except for the staple food, which was made by Lina himself.
Normally, they had not had such a feast for a long time.
At such a banquet to welcome the youngest child, they all seemed to have found the original feeling again.
But no matter how dreamy the banquet is, it will eventually come to an end. After dinner, everyone said goodbye and left.
They all have their own careers and families, and being able to reminisce about the past in an orphanage is a luxury enough...
Fortunately, they all cherish their feelings for each other.
When the bustle has dispersed and the leftovers on the table have been removed, now is the time for Mo Fei and Tom to have a sincere chat.
Kyle also went to chat with Boer today, otherwise, he would also like to hear Tom's experience at Hogwarts, and then give his own suggestions.
