Ji Tang was startled and stunned.

It wasn't until Dumbledore passed through her body and headed for Professor McGonagall that she realized that she wasn't saying that to herself. Professor McGonagall, dressed in a dark green robe, with a high bun and a rigid expression on her face, frowned, said, "Did you overreact to yesterday's Transfiguration class?" The Slytherin students had a lot of opinions. ”

Dumbledore smiled, "Oh, don't mention that...... Would you like some honey candy? ”

"Albus, you can't always run away from this question. What exactly do you think of that student? His grades, his assignments, are really impeccable, and the professors love him. Now they all say that you deliberately target Slytherin, in favor of Gryffindor...... IMHO, this is bad for your reputation. Professor McGonagall raised her voice.

"He's different, he's different from the other students, McGonagall ......"

Ji Tang didn't hear the conversation behind them. She slipped out of the crack in the door and glanced back at Dumbledore's office, caught off guard by Phoenix Fawkes's eyes. It perched on a tall gilded branch behind the door, and its sharp eyes seemed to see through her, with a strange banter.

But when she went to look at it again, it had already skimmed its eyes as if nothing had happened, and buried its head in its feathers.

It seems that the moment they looked at each other just now was her illusion.

Ji Tang walked out along the ancient and deep corridor and walked to the staircase. She looked down from the upper floor, and countless stairs moved and staggered underneath her feet, looking like they were about to collapse. Frightened, she toe out on her toes and stepped on the stairs that looked a little wider and stronger, and it took her half an hour to reach the first floor.

It was meal time, and the junior students in wizard robes walked to the auditorium in twos and threes to take their seats at the tables of their respective houses. There were thousands of burning candles suspended in mid-air, and Ji Tang was always afraid that they would fall when he walked by.

Slytherin, who lost points in Transfiguration, and Gryffindor, who scored highly, went head-to-head, and even when they were eating, they didn't stop fighting. A man stood up from the Gryffindor dining chair and gave a sneering thumbs up, so angry that a few of the newly enrolled snakes pulled out their wands.

But Ji Tang went around in a big circle and didn't see Xu Jing.

She ran to the basement again, followed by a student who had just finished shouting the password, and entered the Slytherin common room. Passing through an empty, wet stone wall, I saw that the wall and ceiling were made of rough stone, and the round, greenish lamps were chained and hung from the ceiling.

There were very few people inside, a few students were chatting, and with a cursory glance, she knew that Xu Jing was not here.

At this moment, a pale blonde-haired boy rushed in, almost slipped because of his big steps, leaned against the stone wall, and asked, "Where is Riddle?" ”

The people in the chat looked up and looked at him in amazement, and one of them said, "I just saw him in the bathroom on the second floor, with August." ”

The man thanked him and hurried away again.

Ji Tang hurriedly followed behind him and walked with him towards the second floor-

There were a few Slytherins standing outside the bathroom, as if they were watching, and when they saw the blonde boy, they winked at each other and let him in. Ji Tang naturally followed to the bathroom. In the dark and dreary bathroom, the wooden single room was dilapidated, the candles on the stand were clearly extinguished, and the wind blew them away, and several figures were reflected in the cracked mirrors.

Four Slytherins surrounded a Gryffindor, pushing him to the ground, swearing.

The Gryffindor boy tried to pick up the wand that had fallen to the ground, but was kicked away.

One laughed and cast a levitation charm to float him up as he struggled violently in mid-air, while the other struck him in the lower abdomen with his wand, grabbed him by the hair, and pushed him into the pool.

School violence scene? Ji Tang's eyes widened.

The blonde boy acted as if he hadn't seen this qiē and walked to the corner without squinting. Only then did she realize that there was still a person standing in the dark corner. The man whispered a few words to the blonde boy, walked out, and raised his hand lightly, "Okay, don't overdo it." ”

The others then gave up and went out one after another.

"Lucius, you ...... first" The young man who walked out of the darkness was just about to say something, but when he raised his eyes, he was stunned.

Ji Tang knew that he could see himself.

"What's wrong?" Lucius Malfoy asked, following his gaze to the door, but there was nothing.

"No, nothing." Xu Jing regained his composure, "You go back first." ”

After Lucius walked out for a while, he looked back at the bathroom, only to see that Xu Jing had also walked out not long after, but in the opposite direction. He put one hand behind his back, clenching it tightly, like holding someone-

Ji Tang had a stomach full of questions, but he was holding him like this, but he could only stare at the back of his head, and he couldn't say a word.

A gust of wind blew, and I could vaguely hear the chirping of owls.

She suddenly found herself led by him to the tower, and was standing on the top of it. His eyes lit up, and there was a faint candle flame jumping, and he suddenly took her in his arms and hugged her very tightly.

"You're finally here." The twelve-year-old boy was already a lot taller than the eight-year-old girl, and when he held her, her feet seemed to be hanging in the air, and the whole person was strangled out of breath, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, Tang Tang." ”

The atmosphere of the reunion should have been very romantic, but the owls flying around, with a pair of round amber eyes watching them, finally couldn't help but pull a bubble of on the shoulders of the little lover. Ji Tang laughed with a "poof". Xu Jing let go of her in embarrassment, took out a handkerchief, and cleaned up the traces left by the owl.

"I'll do it." Ji Tang took out his handkerchief and wanted to wipe it clean for him.

However, her fingers went straight through his black robe.

She was stunned for a moment, then raised her head to meet his slightly stiff smile, and then remembered her current state.

They're on different planes.

"It's okay." Xu Jing shook her hand and said, "It's okay. ”

Ji Tang sighed.

Among them, there are thirty-two spring and autumn periods that cannot be crossed after all-

Xu Jing has a potions class next. When the two of them came down from the tower, they were covered in the smell of bird feces. On the way, I met a Slytherin classmate, and Xu Jing's eyes looked like a ghost, "Oh, are you sure you don't have to change your clothes first?" ”

Ji Tang snickered unkindly.

Xu Jing took her by the hand, squeezed her hand as if demonstrating, and glanced at her.

The Potions class was about potions for boils, and the professor certainly wouldn't be Snape. She sat on the edge of Xu Jing's table, listening boredly. Xu Jing also reached out to straighten her skirt for her.

"Riddle, what are you doing?"

"Nothing."

Lucius wondered, "You're a little weird today. ”

The two of them were Potions class partners, but as far as Ji Tang was concerned, he always felt that he was a little afraid of Xu Jing. It's like she can't figure out what happened when she wasn't there, why Xu Jing not only wasn't ostracized in Slytherin, but also mixed well?

"Be careful, the spilled liquid is corrosive and will ...... on your body," the professor was halfway through his sentence when he heard a scream from Hufflepuff, followed by the crackling of the cauldron being pushed to the ground, and the professor slowly filled up the words, "There will be a dense patch of red and swollen boils." ”

Ji Tang couldn't hold back for a while, holding his stomach and laughing. She couldn't sit still on the table, and slid down, her two little short legs were enough, and finally reached the ground. The corners of Xu Jing's mouth curved, and he secretly reached out to support her, took advantage of the situation, and fished her over and put her in his arms.

Ji Tang scratched his thin waist, reached out to touch the bottles and cans on the table, but was pressed down by him, and the white and tender little flesh palm was not as big as his palm. He hooked his fingers, pressed his chin against the top of her head, and whispered, "Don't move." ”

Alas, is it easy for her to be a little kid and forced to get an education in advance? -

The second-grade classes were densely arranged, and Ji Tang was dragged to class by Xu Jing like a leg pendant, and he had to sleep with him like a mascot at night. Sometimes she didn't wake up in the morning, and she was picked up from the bed by him, copied into his arms and went to the classroom.

Slytherin's bedroom is a two-person room, so Xu Jing's roommate and friend Lucius thinks he is really getting stranger: he often talks to the air, and he smiles like a "Hufflepuff", and he walks unconsciously as if he is leading someone, and his steps are small and slow; It's even more scary if you're running late for class, running down the hallway with your hands like you're holding a doll.

In the past, he never spoke when he ate, and adhered to the dining etiquette of the aristocracy, eating and sleeping silently. But now he actually talks to himself in all kinds of ways, and he can still hear his subtle laughter in the middle of the night. Hearing Lucius huddle under the covers, covered in hair, his back was cold.

The silent and cold Riddle slowly changed, and there was a spring temperature in his eyes.

But Ji Tang can't disappear in the real world for a long time, she hesitated for a long time, and still had to tell him: "I want to go back for a while." It won't be long. "It may be a few days for her, but it can be a long time for him.

The light in Xu Jing's eyes gradually dissipated, and the smile on his lips disappeared.

"Really?" His expression at this time was very similar to the first time she saw him in the bathroom, with an indescribable coldness and detachment. He picked her up, his beautiful nose rubbing against her neck, his breath burning like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

"I promise, I'll be back." Ji Tang raised two fingers, and the gambling curse was released.

Xu Jing pressed her fingers down, smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm good at waiting." ”
