Chapter 54: Hello, Riddle
"Oh dear, you're wandering again, shouldn't you be hanging out with those energetic classmates?" the tall, but not bloated, lady in a gorgeous costume hugged the little girl who looked like an elf beside her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The girl naturally has a smiling expression, crystal and gray-blue eyes, eyes like crescent moons, and the corners of her mouth are also with just the right curvature, and there is a bit of weakness that people can't help but care about. Long silver hair was tied at the back of her head, flicking confidently with every movement of the girl.
Every time I saw the girl's smile, it was like feeling the soft but firm sunlight piercing the dark clouds, through the cascading leaves, and spilling down. Even in the coldest winter, you can feel the warmth of spring.
Madame patted the girl on the shoulder, "My little one, I must have received countless greeting cards or flowers or chocolates." ”
The girl didn't fluctuate, just replied with a smile on her face, "I've gone back." ”
"But, Bella, you have to know one thing, I have heard your grandmother tell me about some very bad things, but-"
The girl's sparkling eyes seemed to dim for a moment, "Sorry ma'am—I don't want to talk about it. ”
I said I wouldn't cry, but I'm still sad.
The girls walked alone in the garden, thankfully the school rules strictly forbade it to do anything discordant in this sacred flower bed, and according to some of the boys, entering it would put them into a state known as the state of the sage. So on this special day, this sacred flower bed is empty.
Sitting on the bench next to the fountain, looking up at the night sky that was not too beautiful and cloudy, the girl let out a sigh of relief, which was the same as her mood, the clouds were thick-
The girl's eyes widened at the night sky, which seemed to have been erased with an eraser, and the dark clouds dissipated, leaving only a small number of white, translucent clouds fluttering. It is strange that the moon is bright in the sky, but there are also stars shining, because the moon usually obscures the sky when it is bright.
The girl's tears dripped from her smiling face, and she knew that even if he couldn't receive what she had sent, at least, now they were also standing under the same starry sky, using an ancient poem from the East, a thousand miles together.
"Perhaps, Bella is watching too?" Little Hermione looked at the moon, although she didn't know what happened back then, but as her memory recovered, as time went by, not only did she not forget, but she missed one of her only two friends even more.
"What do you want?" said Sivin, ruffling the girl's hair, which she had just struggled to straighten with her hands.
Hermione pulled Sivin's hand off her head, but she didn't let go, took his hand, and walked forward together.
"Siwen, what is in the Forbidden Forest, what killed those unicorns, what war is coming?" Hermione asked casually, with Siwen by her side, a sense of security that made her not scruples.
"Hermione, do you know what's so special about unicorns?"
"Powerful magic, good-looking, well, intelligent attributes?" Hermione thought for a moment, "The unicorn has powerful magic all over his body, including his skin, hair, flesh, and unicorn, etc., flesh and blood—"
Little Lori tilted her head and thought for a while, "Unicorn blood can prolong life-" It seemed that the air became cold, Little Lori shivered slightly, and then looked at Xiwen with a positive expression.
Extending one's life, preferring to accept the unicorn's curse rather than use the unicorn's blood to prolong one's life, just like those who are terminally ill, those ancient electroshock therapy, hydrotherapy, and strange so-called medical techniques like black magic are all researched because these people are easy to deceive.
It's like some drowning person grabbing at the last straw, a straw can't save a person out of the water, but they will hold on to it. Experienced lifeguards are not going to immediately rescue people who have just entered the water, because they will hold on to those rescuers until they sink them all into the depths.
"Remember what I said before?" prompted Sivin, "the man is not dead. ”
"Vo, vo, oh, mystery man?" Hermione tensed.
"Tom Riddle, that is, Voldemort, compared to his predecessor Grindelwald, can only rely on a hundred or so wizards who know a little bit of dark magic in England to support Voldemort, who is far from Grindelwald's rampant Europe with German legions. ”
"You know him well?" to be reasonable, it's not for nothing that girls are usually afraid and like to watch horror movies. As a special medicine for children's night cries in the wizarding world, Voldemort, a modern terrorist, is much more effective than those that are only found in legends.
"Honestly, if you find out, you might be disappointed. ”
"Why?"
"Tom Riddle was a first-place student in school, a prefect, a student council president, a student role model, how to say, the kind of perfect person, a perfect person in the true sense of the word. Perhaps, the kind you want to be. ”
Hermione kicked Sivin viciously, "Who wants to be that kind of person." But how could he be like that, your description?"
"It's simple. "He grew up in an orphanage, withdrawn, ambitious, full of power, ecstatic to know that he became a magician, and has been pursuing a higher level of power. ”
Sivin seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "You know what? It's like the villain in that kind of story, there's a very interesting thing, Voldemort, who has always advocated the supremacy of pure-bloods, slaughtering Muggles or half-blood wizards, and he himself is a half-blood. ”
"His mother forcibly took control of a Muggle, a complete Muggle, with an aphrodisiac, and gave birth to Riddle. She thought that by having a son, she could coerce old Riddle to accept her, but unfortunately, no, old Riddle left her and left, and finally the lonely woman gave birth to Riddle on the cold steps and died. ”
Siwen sighed, "You know, Hermione, the Muggle doctor has a point, it's a medicine that is poisonous, and it has a terrible effect on people, especially for new life. And aphrodisiacs can never be exchanged for true love, and I would say that it is more terrible than those poisonous curses, and those who use it will eventually suffer the most terrible revenge. ”
"That makes sense, but unfortunately a lot of people don't know about it. "Applause came from the shadows of the Forbidden Forest, "Ravenclaw, or perhaps the most brilliant talent at Hogwarts, why do you know so much?"
A man shrouded in a cloak and shadow stepped out, the hood of the cloak obscuring his countenance. Sivin smiled at finding something of interest, letting go of Hermione's small hand, and instead wrapped his arms around her shoulders, holding her close to him.
"Hello, Tom Riddle. ”
