During the summer vacation of his second grade, Tom either spent time in his room studying the ancient secret books that Avery had stolen from home, or he would go to the seaside cave to practice. In the last week before the holidays, the Hogwarts owls arrived as promised.

"Tom, let's go to Diagon Alley tomorrow." Shimaier said with a sad face while holding the book shopping list, "Why are there so many?"

Tom thought for a moment and then said, "You and Greengrass and the others go together, I have something to do."

"What happened? You didn't take me with you?" Shimaier pretended to be surprised. "With whom?" In fact, he had already guessed it.

"With some friends," Tom said, adding after a while, "Avery and the others, some pure-blood friends."

"Yes, I understand." Shimaier folded the envelope again, "I will write to Caroline later."

Tom was slightly surprised, with confusion and a hint of imperceptible anger in his voice, "Don't you want to go with me?"

"What's wrong with you?" Shimaier said, looking at Tom with helplessness in his eyes.

Tom closed his eyes and looked away from Shimael, sighed and said, "You can come with us if you want."

"Forget it, I'm not the same person as them." Shimaier rested her chin on her hands and looked out the window. Caroline's owl would always fly over at this time, and she was waiting.

The room fell into a long silence.

Until Caroline's owl Miyou flew from the sky, Shimaier stood up suddenly and said, "I'm going to write a letter!" He hurried back to his room without seeing the gloom on Tom's face. .

"I don't care who Tom goes with!" Shimer wrote angrily on the paper. "Who cares where he goes and who he goes with? Anyway, see you in Diagon Alley at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon! You and Alphard No one can escape!"

Shimaier carefully rolled the note, tied it to Miyou's leg, and took out a piece of crucible cake from the snacks sent by Caroline.

"Eat it." Shimaier placed the crucible cake on the windowsill. Miyou flapped its wings a few times to express joy and started eating.

After finishing eating, Shimaier touched the beak of the pomelo and wiped off the cake residue.

"History is irreversible, these are all he must do." Miyou didn't understand, and tilted his head to look at Shimaier.

Shimaier's eyes were full of melancholy, "Let's go," she urged Miyou, "Your master can't wait any longer." Miyou looked at Shimaier worriedly, but flew away.

The next day, Shimaier deliberately waited for Tom to leave the orphanage before setting off. When he went down the stairs, he found that people in the hall were staring at him curiously. Shimaier knew that they were all curious about why he did not leave with Tom.

"Am I good-looking?" Shimaier asked sincerely.

Everyone looked away in embarrassment and went to find things to do by themselves.

Shimaier could only walk out of the door in a swaggering manner, saying loudly, "I think I'm pretty good-looking" as he walked.

When he walked out of the orphanage, his proud face fell instantly and he muttered, "I feel really bad."

"Here you go, happy potion." A hand stretched out from the side, it was Tom.

"Tom? Why is it you?" Shimaier opened his eyes wide and looked at the person who should not have appeared in front of him. "Didn't you leave early?"

"I just forgot something." Tom said. Seeing that Shimaier didn't move forcefully, he pushed the bottle into Shimaier's hand and said, "Take it."

Shimaier pulled the bottle and said, "Oh, thank you, but we haven't learned this yet, have we?"

"Professor Horn likes me. He thinks I'm very talented. That's enough." Tom urged Shimaier to drink the potion.

"I don't." Shimaier refused. "The effects brought by the potion are temporary and illusory. They cannot change reality. I don't like it."

She pocketed the elixir.

"Potions can indeed help people realize their wishes." Tom didn't have any opinion on Shimaier not drinking the joy potion.

They walked side by side, "You won't wait for me on purpose, will you, Tom?" Shimaier bumped Tom hard, and Tom pretended to stagger.

"No" Tom replied coldly.

"Although I know you are lying, I still treat it as if you are not." Shimaier jumped and walked away, in a great mood.

They came to the crowded street and stood in front of the Leaky Cauldron, which only two people could see.

"It's so romantic, Tom," Shimeier said. "It's crowded outside, and you and I are the only ones together."

Shimaier probably felt that his words were disgusting, so he trembled and said, "Come on, come on, come on, I can't stand myself anymore, hahahahaha."

When they arrived at Diagon Alley, they were still rubbing shoulders.

"Then go find your friends! I'm going to find Caroline and the others." Although it was still a little early, Shimaier could only buy second-hand items.

But his hand was held by Tom, "I'll go with you." Shimaier seemed to remember some bad memories and shook his head, "No, no, no, I don't want to take care of your books anymore." Last year, Tom took the book Leaving Shimael in the care of him, he went to Diagon Alley with Lestrange and Avery.

"No." Tom said, "Let's go." He took Shimaier's wrist and squeezed into the crowd.

Slowly, Tom's fingers began to touch Shimaier's palm intentionally or unintentionally, and slowly covered it. The five fingers touched intentionally or unintentionally, from lightly intersecting to ten fingers clasping together.

Shimaier could clearly hear the pounding of his heart, even though he was surrounded by noisy crowds.

She touched her face with her other hand. It was so hot that she knew without even thinking that her face looked like a cooked shrimp. She didn't dare to look up at Tom's back in front of her. Was he as stiff as herself?

It wasn't until the door of the second-hand robe shop that Tom let go of Shimaier's hand.

They silently bought the textbooks they needed, then went to the Owl Post Office to mail the textbooks back, and then came to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore - where Shimeier had made an appointment with Caroline and Alphard to meet.

"Goodbye." Tom turned around and said to Shimaier. Shimaier nodded, and Tom turned around and hid in the crowd. Shimaier knew that it was in the direction of Knockturn Alley.

"Mom and dad, please stay close." An arrogant voice sounded. A little boy with blond hair walked in front of the two adults. "The holidays are okay, but when school starts, this street is full of mudbloods."

What a nasty little brat, Shimael thought to himself.

"That's the Malfoy kid." Caroline's voice came from behind. He and Alpha had already come out of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. "He should be in first grade this year."

"Ah, you are here. I have to take divination class next semester, but I don't think I need to take it anymore, because I have already said that the little boy will play with Alphard and the others." Shimaier said to them grimace.

"Okay, we will record your prediction this time and tell it to the principal when the time comes." Alphard smiled and saw Shimaier's hands empty. "Where is your book?"

"I went to the Owl Post Office to mail it." Shimaier pulled Caroline and Alphard to the side so that the entrance of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore could resume traffic.

"Good idea, but the headline of tomorrow's Daily Prophet may be that Owl Post Office employees died of overwork. You know they always like to exaggerate." Caroline hugged the first-base book, "Let's go Alphard, let's go to Owl to death too." Postal employee.”

Obviously, many people wanted to tire out the staff at the Owl Post Office. Shimeier didn't want to go in and squeezed in, so he waited for Caroline and Alphard at the door.

"Hello, sister." A timid voice sounded. Shimaier turned around and saw that it was Aibili, with her brother Ailas following behind her.

"Hello," Shimaier said to the girl with a smile, and then said to Ailas jokingly, "Why don't you say hello to me and say how nice your sister is."

Ailas stared at the ground. "It's time to go, Abby. We have to buy quills." Abby nodded and said, "Goodbye, sister."

"She's a lot more cheerful." After all, during the whole school year, Shimeier saw Abby talk to only a handful of people other than Ailas.

After the Rozier brothers and sisters walked away, Caroline and Alphard also came out, with a lot of owl feathers on their bodies.

"Chaos, chaos." Caroline patted the owl feathers on her body. "These owls are like rebels."

"That's right." Alphard kept sneezing due to the owl feathers. "Where's Riddle? Oh, I remembered."

"He's with your sister, there's nothing bad to say about it." Shimaier waved his hand indifferently, remembering that he had just held Tom's hand, and then took it back in embarrassment.

"Are you going to share a carriage with us on the train?" Caroline said, wondering why Shimeier was so cheerful about Tom shopping with others.

"Look" Shimaier just said.

They wandered around Diagon Alley, and they were constantly amazed by the new and exciting things that appeared in Diagon Alley.

In fact, life without Tom is the same.
