Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

Malfoy felt as if struck by lightning; his head exploded with a deafening roar.

Hermione and Tom are preparing for next week's Christmas ball.

So...the two of them are inside right now?

Alone inside?!

"No... what do you mean? You're leaving Tom and Hermione alone... how can you do this? I have to go in! I can't leave Tom and Hermione alone!"

Terry scoffed, "Tch, you're meddling in other people's business now? Sue, close the door, release Peeves, let them bite!"

"Mischievous Ghost, come out!"

Malfoy initially thought they were talking nonsense, but to his surprise, Peeves actually appeared, chuckling and giving Malfoy a malicious look.

Seeing that something was wrong, Malfoy quickly turned tail and ran away.

If you don't run away from Mischievous Ghost, then you're just waiting to be pranked by him.

"You just wait, I'll be back!"

Half an hour later, a group of young wizards arrived.

Harry, Malfoy, and many young wizards from Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Gryffindor.

I've collected everyone except Ravenclaw.

"Do you really want to be locked up?!" Seeing the large number of wizards surging towards them, Li Su and Terry quickly took a few steps back. "Malfoy, you've been using so many wizards without permission... Harry Potter, why are you messing around with them too?"

Harry coughed. "We're from a club, and we're having a party right now."

"club?"

“Hermione’s Club…” Harry’s voice trailed off.

This name is really hard to say.

Hermione's Club, a club not recognized by Hogwarts, is mainly centered around Malfoy and Harry.

With his immense wealth, Malfoy could easily recruit several people to join the club. Coupled with Harry's reputation, Hermione's Club had grown to an astonishing size in a short period of time.

"I'm going to tell Professor Dumbledore!" Li Su gritted her teeth. "Foolish! A bunch of foolish wizards! You're more disgusting than Peeves!"

Their argument was so loud that Tom inside could hear it. Tom pushed open the door and saw forty or fifty young wizards outside. He asked Li Su, puzzled, what was going on.

After listening, Tom rubbed his forehead.

"Malfoy, Harry, do you know what you're doing?" Tom was getting angry.

The two people who were called immediately lowered their heads.

“Gathering believers and leading them to cause destruction outside, don’t you think you’re acting like a human being?”

Did you ask me when you set up the Hermione Fan Club?

"Do you realize how much trouble you're causing others!" Tom's voice grew louder. "Tell me, gentlemen, how much do you know about me? Do you know what I like to eat? Do you know what my usual entertainment is? Do you know what my favorite color is!"

How are you any different from the mysterious man in your current behavior?!

After being scolded by Hermione, the group quickly lowered their heads, none of them daring to look up and meet Hermione's gaze.

I have to say, Hermione was absolutely right.

Many wizards joined the club without a second thought after hearing that Harry Potter, the legendary boy who miraculously survived, had joined.

“Harry, I’m disappointed in you, Malfoy, and you too!” Tom looked at the two of them coldly. “So, I’ve decided that neither of you should speak to me for the next month!”

Now, you two go to the library and each copy "Elementary Spellcasting Tutorial," "Elementary Transfiguration Charm Tutorial," "Elementary Potions Fundamentals," and "The Use of 1001 Herbs" five times. Hand them in to me next month, and everyone leave immediately!

If I ever hear any more news about Hermione's Fan Club, I will punish every single one of you, and I will challenge you all to a wizard duel!

If you think you can beat me, then go ahead.

Flames are raging!!!

The last voice roared, and Tom raised his wand, sending a flame soaring into the sky, blooming against the azure backdrop, showering down sparks.

The flames outshone the sun; they were more radiant than the sun, like fireworks bursting in the night.

The young wizards present all looked up as they watched the sparks blooming in the sky.

First year... Is this something a first-year wizard can do?

Let alone first, fourth, and fifth graders, even those wizards after graduation, could they do it?

"Aren't you leaving yet? Do you want me to lead you away? Harry, Draco, what are you two standing there for?"

Draco...she called my name!

However, Malfoy's smile lasted only a second—perhaps less than a second, very, very short.

Suddenly, Malfoy's expression stiffened, and he lowered his head completely, not daring to look at Hermione.

A chilling aura swept through the hearts of everyone present, and simultaneously, a single thought flashed through their minds.

escape!

Escape as fast as possible, as far as possible!

Tom didn't know at first what the little guys were afraid of.

But he heard a deep, cold voice.

“Miss Granger, Mr. Malfoy, and you, Potter!”

Like a ghost, Snape had already stood behind Tom without anyone noticing.

Tell me, what are you doing right now?!

Miss Granger, who gave you permission to use such powerful magic at school!

Maybe you should put me in solitary confinement until Christmas next week!!!

I'm going to boil Snape!

Tom understood what these people had been afraid of.

Damn it, why didn't you tell me? What happened to the Hermione Fan Club? What are you all laughing about?

“Miss Granger, do you have anything else to say? Perhaps I can spend a minute to listen to your excuses.”

Li Su stepped forward.

As a Ravenclaw student, Li Su's mind works very quickly.

"Professor Snape, although Miss Hermione was wrong, they were wrong first!"

Professor, look at them! So many people making such a fuss just to cause trouble for Miss Hermione. Any first-year student would be scared in this situation, so I think Hermione's actions are understandable!

Besides, Hermione showed us a beautiful fireworks display without hurting anyone; it only served as a slight deterrent. I don't think it warranted a week of confinement.

"Hmph, glib tongue." Snape scoffed. "So, are you here to cause trouble?"

Snape swept his gaze across the crowd as they left the arena, his icy stare sending chills down everyone's spines, rendering them unable to utter a single lie.

“Yes…” Malfoy gritted his teeth and answered Snape with a forced smile, “I know I was wrong, Professor Snape. Please put me in solitary confinement. I will never make the same mistake again.”

Holy crap, that's awesome!

Tom was deeply moved; the arrogant guy had actually spoken up for him.

If I agree with this guy here, in the future... these people probably won't trust me anymore.

It's okay to tease Hermione occasionally, but this is no small matter.

Don't underestimate the children's intelligence network; within two days, the events of today will reach the ears of every wizard at Hogwarts.

“Professor Snape, he lied. Please put me in solitary confinement.” Tom sighed. “Draco, although I appreciate your willingness to stand up for me, I still want to tell you something.”

If I agree, wouldn't I be just as shameless and despicable as the Man of Unknown? But Professor Snape, I will go with you.

“Perfect!” Snape glared at Harry. “Mr. Pott, I never thought you could be so boring. Is this what they call a wizard?”

How ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!

"Mr. Malfoy, please remember, this is Hogwarts, not your home. Should I remind you again next time, young master?"

Snape said the last two words through gritted teeth.

"No...no need, I'm sorry, Professor Snape."

"So what are you waiting for? Do you want me to perform magic for you like Granger? Why aren't you leaving!"

They scattered in all directions, no one daring to stay in one place, all fleeing from the terrifying Professor Snape.

"Now, you can come with me."

"Wait!" Hermione rushed out anxiously. "Professor Snape, please calm down."

“Tom… Riddle, I hope you won’t come here to join the fun, or are you actually someone who likes to join in the fun? Then perhaps I can take you to the solitary confinement room.”

Hermione quickly waved her hand: "You misunderstand, Professor Snape, I just wanted to ask you something."

"Humph."

“Next week, next week I’m going to the ball with Tom… and Hermione.” Hermione spoke quickly. “Professor Snape, could you please put him in solitary confinement after the ball?”

He hasn't learned to dance yet, and if this continues, he'll embarrass himself on stage, and I will too... I'll be criticized by the school until graduation, and I'll also be left with psychological trauma. For the sake of a child's development, please, Professor, have mercy... I beg you..."

"Absurd! If every student were like you, shouldn't Hogwarts be renamed?"

"Wouldn't it be more fitting to just call it the Dark Wizard Academy? Riddle, you're tired, you need to rest!"

Normally, Hermione would have stopped arguing, but today she was unusually competitive and stepped forward defiantly: "Professor Snape, then put Hermione and me in solitary confinement together. At least inside we'll have each other to rely on, and in our free time we can practice ballroom dancing together."

Snape paused for a moment, then glared at Tom: "Get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tom grabbed Hermione's hand and they dashed off.

“Foolish.” Snape stood still, watching the two run away at high speed.

Tom, are you an idiot?!

Why would you let a girl hold your hand and leave?
