Hogwarts: Hermione and I switched identities!

Dear Tom:

If you bring your sister back to the dorm, she can sleep in my bed. The bedding is new; I've never used it before. Terry and I have also prepared new toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Merry Christmas holiday!

Yours sincerely, Sue Lee.

“Isabel, my bed is over there.” Tom pointed to a bed and lay down on Li Su’s bed.

Tom picked up his pen and left his reply.

I'm sorry, Li Su, it's not a cute and delicate young girl sleeping in your bed, but a rough and tough guy like me. I'm really sorry.

However, Shadow probably wouldn't want to sleep in a stranger's bed, since they're not familiar with each other.

"Tom! Where's the bathroom?" Shadow's spirited words snapped Tom out of his reverie.

Pointing in a direction, Tom said, "Do you need me to use magic to clean your clothes?"

"No need, I can do this kind of simple magic too. I knew how to use the Cleansing Charm when I was in the orphanage. I learned it after trying it twice. It's very simple, isn't it?"

It's really simple.

It seemed like Harry took a very long time to learn.

Tom watched Isabel walk into the bathroom, then sat alone at the long table drinking black tea, looking just like an old man.

"Tom, do you want to help me take a bath?" Suddenly, Shadow's head popped out from beside the door frame. Her long hair was tied into a bun and hung down at the back of her head. The smile on her lips was almost reaching the sky.

"No, you've grown up."

"But strictly speaking, I'm still a child who's not even a year old."

Ha ha.

Tom smiled, didn't even glance at the shadow, and continued sipping his tea.

The heater was cozy, and Tom held his teacup in both hands.

The only downside is that it only has black tea; it would be nice if there were a few cups of hot mead and butterbeer.

I wonder what Hermione is doing at this time.

……

the other side.

The Weasley children were almost asleep.

Hermione had just come out of the bathroom, her wet hair wrapped in a towel to keep the water from dripping onto the floor.

She will sleep with Ginny tonight.

Hermione wasn't shy at all; she was just thinking about one thing—how many days would she have to sleep in Ginny's bed?

This week is alright, after all, it's my week, and it's fine for girls to lie in the same bed with each other.

But what about next week?

What would Tom, that bastard, do if he woke up and saw a beautiful young girl like Ginny next to him?

Tom, you're such a bastard.

The day before the body swap, I have to get out of Ginny's bed!

However, the Weasleys have many children, and it seems that because of this, their financial situation is not very good, and they do not have any spare rooms for guests.

Ginny sat on the bed with her legs together, like a bride about to be married. When she saw Hermione emerge from the bath, Ginny's eyes widened.

Hermione seemed to possess some unseen aura—the hazy steam added a touch of mystery to her.

Coupled with Hermione's immense strength, Ginny only felt admiration for her!

—At least Ginny believes that she only idolizes Hermione.

"Hermione, maybe I can ask Mom to help you clean your hair."

Hermione shook her head: "No, although it's convenient to just dry my hair directly, I'm used to it. Sometimes it feels a bit strange to rely on magic for everything."

When she's not busy, Hermione still washes her clothes and does housework by hand.

Although using magic would speed up these processes considerably, that's not the life Hermione wants.

Magic must only be an auxiliary tool!

Only things done with your own hands can make you feel alive.

Leaning against the window, Hermione sipped her water, gazing at Hogwarts, which was out of sight in the distance.

I wonder what Tom is doing at this moment.

His words... are probably still in Professor Snape's laboratory.

"Hermione?" Ginny asked, puzzled. "You seem distracted."

"Huh? No, what's wrong?"

Hermione straightened up, untied the towel from her head, and let her long hair fall over her shoulders. The heat in the room steamed the water droplets on her hair.

Hermione, what do you think of life in a wizarding family?

This time, Hermione was in a difficult position to answer.

She didn't even know how to answer Ginny.

It can only be said that the life of a wizard is somewhat different from what one imagines.

It wasn't that interesting...

Upon reflection, it seems that life at Hogwarts is not interesting at all.

The same old lessons every day, the occasional adventure with Harry and Ron, and the occasional encounter with that annoying jerk.

It's just that encountering jerks "occasionally" has become a bit too frequent.

Hermione always felt annoyed by the weekly identity swapping.

But if you really say you hate it... it's not that serious.

Sometimes, Hermione even feels a little hopeful.

Thinking about it carefully, if Tom were removed from Hogwarts life, it seems that the entire school life would really be nothing but boring.

broken!

Does that mean Tom is very important to me?

Is Tom Riddle, who always goes up to talk to pretty girls, very important to me?

Tom, is this your trap? You let us rely on you, and then you dump us when the time is right.

He is a truly wicked and heinous criminal.

"Alright, it's getting late." Hermione patted the bed. "We should rest. If we don't get enough sleep at this age, we won't grow tall."

Hermione touched her hair; it was dry. The heating in the room was just right, and she snuggled under the covers.

The bed wasn't big, but Hermione and Ginny snuggled close together, enjoying the warmth beside them. They didn't feel too resistant and quickly fell asleep.

……

at the same time.

Hogwarts, in some deep corner.

Professor Quirrell knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with respect.

“Master, I’ve already found out who we should target. Hogwarts is very well-defended. Perhaps I can find a way to lure Harry Potter here.”

That fool must think we're going to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and he'll just hand it over himself.

A muffled thud came from the figure behind him: "No rush."

"Before taking the Philosopher's Stone, I made an attempt. I discovered a very interesting person in Hogwarts. I originally planned to go to the orphanage to find her, but I didn't expect her to come here on her own."

Quirrell suddenly realized, "Master, you mean..."

"That foolish girl, she's just a dark magic user, yet she gave herself a name. Does she think she can integrate into the life of a wizard like a human? How utterly ridiculous."

However, if we make good use of her, she will undoubtedly become my most reliable right-hand woman in the future.

Isabelle Riddell?

Tom Riddle?

He'd been watching these two for a long time. The one named Tom seemed to be a very talented kid, but that was all...

Unfortunately, Hermione wasn't at school, so his plan to cause trouble for the Weasleys with Quirrell's help was still a bit lacking.

They could only hope that this shadow named Isabel could lend a helping hand and help them overcome their current difficulties.

"Master, I'll bring her here right now."

"No!" Voldemort rejected Quirrell's suggestion. "We shouldn't bring her here. I'm worried we'll be discovered. Perhaps... I can think of a way to approach her myself."

After saying this, the two fell silent.

A moment later, the sound of footsteps echoed in the dim space, and Quirrell disappeared from the spot.

Ravenclaw boys' dormitory.

"Li Wei, where did you get this game console? Did some Muggles make it?"

"Heh heh, you didn't expect that, did you? Come on, Russell, want to give it a try?"

"No, what's the point of Muggle stuff? I'm going to find someone to play Wizard Chess."

The Christmas holidays weren't exactly wonderful for these students who stayed on campus; they felt a bit bored and could only pass the time with these simple little things.

No one noticed that a dark figure had flashed past the door.

The dark figure moved very fast. Li Wei noticed it, but when he looked up, he didn't find anything unusual. He then focused his attention and continued playing Street Fighter I.

"I want to find a girlfriend like Mai Shiranui someday! She's too big!"
