Chapter 60: Tom: Yes, that's right, I'm a good person!
Dumbledore had left.
In the empty room, only Theo and Nagini were staring at each other.
After a long time, Theo broke the slightly awkward silence, "Have you had breakfast? Do you want some porridge?"
Nagini: "Hiss?"
"Okay... it's true that there's no such thing as feeding snakes porridge, so what do you want to eat?" Theo asked again.
Nagini: "Hiss hiss hiss!"
Theo:?
"Okay, it seems we have to find a translator. Coincidentally, I know one!" Theo stretched out his left hand to Nagini.
Nagini understood and climbed up, wrapping herself tightly around Theo's left hand.
"Bang!"
Tom, who was eating bread and reading a book, was startled by the loud sound of the door opening.
"Damn it, what do you want to do again? You told me to read!" Tom said sternly.
He was afraid that Theo would go back on his word and not let him read and study.
This was simply too cruel for Tom, a diligent and eager student!
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here just to ask you for a favor. I think... you will be very willing, right? I know Tom, you have always been a kind-hearted good person."
Me? Kind-hearted? A good person?
Looking at Theo's kind smile, the corner of Tom's mouth twitched slightly, and then he squeezed out a smile.
"Yes, I'm kind-hearted, I'm a good person! So... I mean... of course... of course I'm very willing to help..."
Endure!
"So, Theo, what do you want me to help you with?"
Looking at Tom's forced smile, Theo was very satisfied.
"Come on, help me translate." Theo stretched out his left wrist.
Tom saw the little snake on Theo's hand at a glance.
"Hiss... this snake... why does it look so familiar?"
For Theo, all snakes might look the same, but for Tom, that was not the case.
"Because she's Nagini." Theo smiled.
"Ah?!" Tom was so shocked that he almost fell off the bed.
Back then, Nagini could be said to have left an extremely deep impression on Tom.
Because he almost died that time!
This was simply the most terrifying experience for Tom, who cherished his life so much!
"This... this is really Nagini... Huh? Why did she become so small? And... she's greeting me?"
Theo smiled, "Because she can stay awake now. Didn't you hear her story before?"
Tom sat down slowly, "What's going on? This... although she's awake now, it's hard to guarantee that she won't lose her mind again... Don't forget that we almost died. No, I have to tell Dumbledore about this!"
Looking at Tom's expression, Theo knew that he thought he had caught his weakness and had begun to think about how to threaten him.
But how could he let Tom succeed?
"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore put Nagini by my side. So, he already knows."
"What?!" Tom jumped up again.
"How could that old guy do this! He actually put a ferocious beast next to two weak students? Doesn't he know the danger?"
Tom's reaction was extremely intense when it came to life safety.
"Weak?"
"Yes! Me! Weak!" Tom almost burst into tears when he said this.
Since Theo appeared, he had always felt that he was weak...
"Don't worry, Tom. The reason why Professor Dumbledore put Nagini by my side is naturally because I have the method to keep Nagini awake. Also... Nagini is awake now, so she can understand everything you say, but she can't speak human language for the time being."
"Ah?!" Tom glanced at the little snake that seemed a little depressed, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
Nagini was originally a human, so of course she could understand human language when she was awake...
Obviously, although what Tom said just now was excusable, Nagini still felt a little sad.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
"I... I didn't mean that, I just..." The young Tom blushed and didn't know what Nagini said to him.
"Okay, Tom, we are all good people, aren't we? So, of course we have to actively respond to Professor Dumbledore's call... to be a good person, a good wizard. So, helping Nagini is our duty." Theo said some nice words.
Tom glanced at Theo strangely. He didn't believe a word of what Theo said!
How could this guy be so active without any benefits?!
What is the most uncomfortable thing in the world?
Of course, it's doing hard work, but the benefits are someone else's!
Tom felt like this now.
Obviously, it was impossible for Theo to share the benefits he got with him.
But now he had to help Theo translate...
Frustration! Endurance!
After Tom built up his mental strength again, he barely managed his expression.
"I don't know... what do you want to ask Miss Nagini?"
Theo said, "You just need to translate Nagini's words. Anyway, she can understand everything we say."
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
"Oh..." Tom nodded, "She said she doesn't want to eat raw food after waking up... it will remind her of the days when she was involuntarily eating raw meat and drinking blood."
Theo scratched his head, "In that case... then eat some eggs? I remember snakes also like to eat eggs. Since you don't want to eat raw food, then eat boiled eggs?"
Nagini nodded happily, indicating that she had no objection.
Fortunately, after Nagini was shrunk, her physical attributes were also shrunk. Relatively speaking, her appetite also became much smaller. Coupled with the blessing of the nutritional potion.
Two boiled eggs were enough to fill her stomach for a meal.
It was easier to feed than Theo imagined.
After Nagini finished swallowing two boiled eggs, Theo also finished his porridge.
"Tom, why don't you teach me Parseltongue? That way I won't have to bother you to translate for me." Theo smiled.
"No! This is an innate ability, you can't teach it." Tom refused decisively.
How could he agree if Theo wanted to learn his things?
Speaking Parseltongue and controlling snakes was the only talent he had that Theo didn't have.
"Can't really teach it?"
"Can't really teach it!" Tom had made up his mind that he would not give in no matter how much Theo threatened him!
"Okay... then forget it."
Hearing this, Tom almost wondered if he had heard wrong. This guy actually let him go so easily?
"Nagini can write with her tail, so I'll let Nagini teach me Parseltongue." Theo smiled.
Nagini nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Tom looked at Theo in a daze. Could it be that the only thing he was superior to Theo was going to be gone?
Tom suddenly felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness...
