When chatting with ***, I happened to talk about the personality of my own children, and I also lamented over there that her children are basically all Hogwarts will not accept them, but going to Durmstrang will definitely mix like fish in water, but she complained to me, "Which of your children is not a Slytherin species?" ”

So I was choked in an instant - because a complete refutation can't OTZ.

In this chapter, Riddle has finally begun to return to reality, and it has been too long since he was expected to be forgotten by some in the wizarding world. Although ambitions have changed unconsciously, the Dark Lord is the Dark Lord, and with Riddle's character, it is absolutely impossible for him to do nothing and make Dumbledore stay in his place comfortably.

But then again, this kind of "too lazy to fight life and death, but definitely looking for an opportunity to show off your existence and disgust you by the way" mode of thinking...... Is it true that your mind has begun to distort with the rejuvenation of your body? Embarrassment......

==============================================================

7 of Cups (reversed): Make up your mind.

Cappadocia Estate, England

"Opal, are you sure this dog of yours is okay?"

This was the Nth time that he had been threatened by the big black dog that looked like he was almost fine, and he had to give up Draco's line of sitting next to Opal as usual.

[Huh?] ]

Then, without surprise, the response was Opal's face full of doubts and puzzlement, [What's wrong with Xiao Ke?] Any questions? ]

Not far from her, a certain big black dog was wagging his tail and happily playing the game of Frisbee with Harry.

"Don't you think this dog is too smart and clear?!"

Araco grinded his teeth in hatred, and then deliberately looked at the black dog with a very Malfoy-style chin and a common smirk, and then ......

"Purr~Purr~"

Almost as soon as he felt Draco's gaze, one of the black dogs turned around and sneered at someone—but after Harry yelled "catch", he immediately waged his tail and staggered after the frisbee that had been thrown into the distance.

[…… I think it's just Draco you, like Pansy and Brace...... was unilaterally disgusted by Xiao Ke. ]

Blinking, Opal was very straightforward, [Actually, Draco, you don't have to worry too much about this, really!] You see Pansy and Blaise don't care at all......]

They don't care that I care!

The platinum dragon, who felt deprived of the right to be close, wanted to scream depressedly at the moment, but he couldn't get angry at Opal no matter what, so he could only roll his eyes at the sky in frustration: "Come on, Opal." Those two have been in the same relationship as Siamese babies since the incident in the secret room, and it would be strange if they cared about this kind of thing. ”

He swore that if it weren't for the fact that he had secretly asked for the "Animagus Detector" that his father had asked for, and that he had not reacted to the big black dog at all, he would absolutely, absolutely pack up this big black dog that was about to become a fine and take it to the Ministry of Magic, and if he could, it would be better to lock it up for a while, at least not to let him see it before school started.

[When do you say Pansy and Blaise will get engaged?] ]

Drawn to Draco's last words, Opal put down the newspaper in his hand and looked in the other direction of the garden with a smile - the last thing that was lacking in Cappadocia Manor was all kinds of magically cultivated roses, roses, laurels, and green pines, which would bloom or bud at the owner's will, even in the untimely season—over there, Pansy and Brace were sitting under a tree and reading a book together, whispering something from time to time, and the scene made Opal feel happy.

"If I am not mistaken, it will be during this year's Christmas holidays."

Noticing that the big dog seemed to be running farther and farther away from Harry's deliberate teasing, Draco immediately seized the moment to sit down next to Opal and said, "My father has received an appointment letter from his father. If nothing else, a month or so before the Christmas break, Pansy and Blaise themselves will start sending invitations to their friends. ”

[Troublesome ......]

Opal, who already had a general understanding of the corresponding marriage contract process of the noble wizard, couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

"Trust me Opal...... You'll be faced with more cumbersome procedures than Pansy and Brace will ever encounter. ”

Draco raised an eyebrow, already pointing, "So you should make sure you have a break this Christmas break first - if you don't want to be complained about by your friends......"

[Christmas holidays...... I want to think about it......]

Being reminded by this, Opal subconsciously began to seriously think about his itinerary, [If there are no accidents, it is absolutely no problem to participate.] But the engagement ceremony...... Am I not mistakenly going to have a ball? ]

"Then I'll reserve your prom mate's spot first, okay?"

Because Opal replied very well, Draco casually spoke - typical Slytherin style.

[That's fine.] ]

Opal also replied very directly, [Anyway, the people I am closer to are you and Brace, and Harry's words will not appear at Pansy and Brace's engagement. ]

"Wait......"

Sensing a certain meaning in Opal's words, Draco couldn't help but glance at her, "Can I interpret it as Harry's dance partner if Harry can attend the ball?!" ”

[Why can't it be Harry?] ]

Spreading his hands, Opal's expression was very innocent, [It's boring to always dance with Draco and Brace...... I don't care what Mr. Yeji says, but he's been busy. And I think Draco is a strange reaction to you...... I guess there's no way Harry could have attended such an engagement ceremony. ]

In fact, the person she most wants to dance with will never appear at this kind of engagement ceremony, and because she knows this, she is not particularly picky about the choice of dance partners - even if she dances with women, she has no problem whether she walks the female or male steps.

“……”

Draco's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Because he knew that Opal had no malice at all when he said this. Although she can sensitively distinguish between the malice and kindness of others towards her, she is as confused and sluggish as her personality in terms of feelings.

Forget it, although it is estimated that it will take some time for her to open up, but it is clear that in Opal's heart, he can be regarded as having a place - but compared to the time they spend together, how can Harry get special care from Opal? (Pansy, who was caught listening to the complaint afterwards, complained silently: Because he has the aura of the protagonist, although Opal doesn't know the plot, but he has a good relationship with the protagonist, but he is the only principle of being a supporting character who doesn't want to be bento.) ）

However, a proud Draco can't do such a thing as making a fuss about this kind of thing, so he can only force himself to turn his attention to the newspaper in his hand - and then he frowned unexpectedly: "Opal, why are you reading this kind of Muggle newspaper?" Belch...... What kind of text is this?! ”

[Italian, then this newspaper is the Economic Securities Times and the Current Affairs...... What's wrong? ]

The pigeon's blood-red eyes blinked in confusion, but Opal immediately pulled the two newspapers out of Draco's hand and shoved a copy of "Singing Against the Tune" into his hand, [I think it's not bad, at least it helps me a lot in dealing with things......]

“…… But...... Aren't these Muggle newspapers? ”

Draco rolled his eyes, "Who are you fooling?!" ”

[Didn't I say that?] Part of the property I'm responsible for is in the Muggle world. ]

It's just that part of the industry is far away in Italy, and it is part of a peripheral organization belonging to a mafia family that seems to be very famous. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just that Senior Sister Qianwei seemed to have caused some trouble after dealing with something, and as a result, she threw this part of the extra money she earned to her to deal with it with a flick of her hand after the matter was over.

Although Opal herself has no need for these industries, but the last time she returned to the secret realm of the lake, she found that Riddle has been absent a lot recently, and I heard that Senior Sister Qianwei said that he was going outside to deal with some necessary things, and it seemed that he was planning something, and the things he planned would require a lot of funds.

Therefore, although he knew that this might be a full set deliberately set up by Senior Sister Qianwei, who knew him too well, Opal still got in without hesitation.

As long as she can help Riddle, she will admit it even if she is sold, not to mention that she also knows that although Senior Sister Qianwei is really bad in terms of personality, she still loves herself.

"Opal, Draco!"

At this time, Harry had already run back with the big black dog, although he was sweating hot because of the play, but after this period of cultivation in Opal's house, Harry seemed to be in good spirits at the moment, "What are the two of them whispering again?" ”

As for the big black dog following him, when he saw Draco and Opal sitting with him again, he almost reflexively rushed over and barked at Draco, as if he wanted to completely separate Draco from Opal.

[Talking about some things about the family, I guess Harry, you're not interested.] ]

Opal smiled and handed Harry the towel that had been placed beside him, [Look at the sweat you run on, wipe it off and go back to take a shower.] Although this manor is at a constant temperature, it is not good to have a cold. ]

"Hmm."

After wiping the sweat from the towel, Harry threw it on the chair next to him, "By the way, Opal, he just saw Mr. Knight, and he said 'homework' and 'doubled' to me and then disappeared. What does this mean...... Uh, Opal, what's wrong with you? The face doesn't seem to be good...... Uncomfortable? ”

Draco's gaze moved slightly when he saw it.

This interaction between Opal and Harry...... The atmosphere was more of a ...... than a friend Family?!

Ha?! How could it be!

However, Draco immediately smashed the idea back - Harry Potter's background is basically as long as a wizard is a little more sensible, and Opal's background is also clear, there is no possibility of blood intersection!

[Not ......]

Because of Harry's unintentional reminder, and remembering that she had seemed, seemed, and probably completely forgotten the physical training plan that Mr. Yeji had assigned to her before, Opal, and now there was a drop of sweat on the back of her head, [just...... I forgot the physical training task that Mr. Yeji assigned to me. ]

"Huh?" X2

This was the unanimous reaction of both Harry and Draco.

[Hmm...... Because I had so much fun during this time...... All forgot. ]

Thinking back to the amount of training on the list, Opal's face began to turn blue—so many...... If she really had to double it, she would die, she would really die!

"If you forget, forget it, wouldn't it be nice to make it back?"

Harry didn't think it mattered, but he reacted as he spoke, "Wait, that doubling won't mean ......"

[That's what you think.] ]

Opal floated away in a ghostly shape, [No wonder I said how I feel like I've been doing something less lately, it turned out to be this...... You don't have to wait for me for dinner today...... Damn it! Is that training volume done by people?! ]

Is it really okay for Opal to do this?

Harry and Draco glanced at each other, and saw the worry in each other's eyes.

But then, as if remembering something, they snorted at the same time and turned their heads at the same time, and Harry walked towards his room with the big black dog.

Draco, on the other hand, stood still a little distracted, and after a long time, he summoned the house-elves of the manor, sent them pen and paper, and began to write letters to his father.

=====================I'm the dividing line ================= switch roles

Nürmungard ???, Germany

、

Standing at the entrance to the valley, Riddle looked around, his eyes that had turned blood-red with a faint look of appreciation and a hint of appreciation.

Because his favorite leader was defeated and he chose to retire here because of his oath, the 12 saints who belonged to the first Dark Lord who shocked the German wizarding world back then don't know how many are left now.

But if Gellert hadn't told him personally, he probably wouldn't have imagined that the fugitives who were still in the top 15 wanted lists of dark wizards in Germany would live so close to the prison where Gellert was nominally held.

Is it "the most dangerous place, but also the safest place"?

Since the last time he left the secret realm of the lake, he seemed to have avoided the outside world for a long time, so long that the servants who were once subordinate to him began their own sneaky little actions, thinking that he did not know.

The power that once belonged to him seems to have developed its own power during this period of time, and there have been corresponding hidden dangers within his servants themselves - and I believe that Dumbledore's mutant fox bee must have been aware of this.

But Riddle wasn't in a hurry to settle the matter.

The wizarding world in Britain is now completely dull and completely stagnant, and although there have been small waves in the past two years because of those ridiculous existences, it is not enough for Riddle.

After spending so much time in the Secret Realm of the Lake, the witch had left behind books that were not ashamed of the names of Muggle authors, but he had to admit that he had learned a lot from them. And the monitoring mission he accepted not long ago let him know how far the Muggles who used to be considered "useless" and "cowardly" in the past have grown.

The so-called "technological" ......

Riddle could confirm that even Dumbledore probably wouldn't know as much about Muggles as he did now.

Squinting slightly, Riddle hadn't stopped thinking for a moment since he was in the secret realm of the lake.

Gellert had come up with the theory of "protecting wizards" - after all, he had always been proud of his bloodline, something that would not change until he died.

But it would be impossible for him to accept the Muggles like this.

Gellert's path had proved impassable, and there was only one other option left. Riddle knew that no matter what decision he made, his Silent Girl would always be right behind him, but Riddle had no intention of pushing himself off the table.

What he had to do now was to push this change, this perception, into the UK from abroad—anyway, now that the Order of the Phoenix elite was playing cat and mouse games with his forces, he still had plenty of time to prepare for this.

And the relevant manpower, Gellert has also been prepared for him.

Raising his hand, the twelve gems set in the chest clasp given by Gellert emitted a faint glow in the sunlight, and then, as if echoing this brilliance, the space in front of Riddle, which was originally quite beautiful, suddenly distorted into a black hollow.

A faint wind blew out of the hollow, with an aura close to decay, and the sight only stopped at about half a meter or so in the space.

Full of unknown passages.

Riddle knew that the help he needed now was hidden, and that was the challenge Gellert had given him – to give him the opportunity to meet and impress his men with his own strength.

The blood-colored eyes narrowed slightly, and then entered the void without hesitation.

He is never afraid of any difficulties and challenges.

The light distorted, and the void that opened silently disappeared as soon as Riddle entered, and no magical fluctuations were felt in the entire space.

It's as if nothing happened.
