[HP Comprehensive UK and US] Platinum Stark

Alicia, who was talking to her brother, lowered her head and met a pair of scarlet eyes. Her heart skipped a beat.

See, she said, the Dark Lord or Dumbledore always appears in unexpected places.

They are all more idle than each other.

Riddle did not intend to evade immediately. He looked at her meaningfully before disappearing from the spot.

Thea pretended to be nonchalant and looked away, but Draco seemed to sense something and quickly turned around to look at the place the girl had just been looking at.

But there was nothing there, so he could only turn his head back in doubt.

"What are you looking at? You're so jumpy. You scared me to death." Alicia took the initiative and asked first.

"Nothing." Draco temporarily suppressed his doubts. Perhaps he was overthinking. "Let's go back."

The Slytherin lounge was very quiet late at night. Even the lake outside the window had returned to silence. The giant octopus at the bottom of the lake looked at the platinum siblings who had sneaked back, then swam away quietly.

Ever since it could remember, it had rarely seen Slytherin students out at night, but it didn't expect to meet two of them today.

Alicia pretended to be sleepy, half-closed her eyes and waved goodnight to her brother, then walked towards the girls' dormitory without looking back: "Then good night, Draco, I hope you can sleep well tonight."

Draco stood there with his arms folded, his eyes fixed on the girl's back, with no intention of going back to sleep: "Good night, Thea."

The girl felt like a thorn in her back as she was being stared at from behind. She couldn't help but quicken her pace.

The moment Alicia was about to open the door, she anticipated the scene in the room, and sure enough, Riddle was smiling at her with his head tilted.

"Do the Death Eaters know that their master likes to break into girls' rooms so much?" Alicia smiled back, but her words were not as gentle as her expression.

Riddle seemed to be in a good mood as well. He didn't care about the girl's slight challenge to his authority: "Xia, you should apply for a single dormitory. You have the right to do so, don't you?"

The girl glanced at the sleeping Pansy from the corner of her eye, and Riddle followed her gaze. Thea didn't refute anything - this was one of the reasons why she was competing for the top spot this year.

"It seems that you are really happy tonight." Alicia took a few steps forward, took off her school robe and hung it on the hanger, and then stood opposite the man. "This is the first gift that the Heir of the Chamber of Secrets gave to Hogwarts on Halloween. It is really a unique and interesting prank."

Riddle closed his eyes slightly, as if he was savoring something, and then he smiled even more brightly: "Xia, I like your evaluation."

A unique and funny prank, what a wonderful description.

He loved the feeling that a little trick of the Dark Lord could disrupt Dumbledore's years of layout and plans.

This is just an appetizer, more interesting things are coming.

Alicia had to admit that the man in front of her had the capital to be madly infatuated with just his face - his Slytherin support club was almost the predecessor of the Death Eaters. When Riddle smiled, he didn't look like the Dark Lord at all, but like a gentle and steady senior.

Oh, and no senior would show up in the girls’ dormitory at this time.

"Dumbledore will probably be very close to me in the next period of time. I will pay more attention to him." Alicia forced herself to look away from Riddle's face and expressed her speculation and thoughts. "I will also apply for a single dormitory as soon as possible."

Her subtext is that she has been in less contact recently.

The man didn't show any dissatisfaction - he guessed what Thea was thinking from the conversation between her and the other little Malfoy tonight.

Halloween was drawing to a close, and Riddle did not continue to mention the Chamber of Secrets. He casually took out a bag of candy: "I remember you used to call him professor?"

It took the girl a second to realize who he was talking about - Professor Quirrell and the Dark Lord.

"Yes."

Alicia didn't want to talk too much about the other Dark Lord in front of Riddle.

"I don't like this name." His tone was playful but with a hint of danger, giving people the feeling that a python was scratching across his arm.

"Sir?" Alicia called out.

"Not calling me master anymore?" Riddle looked at her with a smile.

Just as Thea was about to change her words, he took out a candy and stuffed it into the girl's mouth, put the rest of the bag on the desk, and then patted the girl's head as if he was stroking Nagini: "Just call me that."

Sir sounds better than lord.

Before Alicia could react, he left the dormitory.

The girl was about to spit out the candy when she unexpectedly found that it was very much to her taste.

She paused for a moment in taking the handkerchief, but did not change her mind about spitting it out.

Some things, no matter how appetizing they are, are simply impossible to swallow.
