"Hey!"

After a chemistry class, Tom inexplicably stopped James.

James glanced back at Lily, then turned to Tom reluctantly: "What are you doing?"

All the signs over the past year have shown James: Riddle is not a good person.Reminiscent of the previous doping incident, James couldn't help raising his vigilance.

"Do you want me to wait for you?" Lily asked behind him.James gave her a grateful look—their relationship managed to escalate to "friends" after James' heroic rescue of the beauty—but Riddle cut him off first:

"No, I have something personal to tell him."

James retorted loudly: "I don't have any personal relationship with you, okay?"

"It's about your friend Remus," Tom whispered unhurriedly.

James stopped short, staring in disbelief at Riddle, who said nothing, with a meaningful smile on his face.After thinking for a moment, James shook his head: "Go first, don't wait for me."

Lily didn't seem to agree with his decision, but she still left the classroom.

"What are you going to say?" James asked impatiently as soon as the door closed.

"Can I borrow your computer?" Riddle asked.After obtaining acquiescence, he stepped forward and entered a line of words in the search bar. After the web page jump was completed, he took a step back: "You can see for yourself."

Riddle Googled a name: Lyle Lupine.

After reading the title of a news article on the webpage, James' head exploded with a "buzz"——

"The Lupines received death threats..."

"Do you know who Lyle Lupine is?" Riddle asked himself. "He used to be a medical student and aspired to become an expert in infectious diseases. Lupine focused on AIDS research back then, and his future was not so good but bright. It's a pity. He later publicly proposed a notorious proposal to isolate people with AIDS...”

"You're lying." James said without thinking, but Riddle quickly interrupted him:

"If you look at Lupine's Wikipedia page, don't you know I'm lying? All in all, this plan has seriously damaged his career. It should have been mostly over, but earlier this year, a The treatment that has been studied for many years and claimed to be able to control the HIV virus has been declared a failure, and now Lupine's remarks in the early years have been recalled... So you understand why your friend suddenly disappeared without a trace?" Riddle Pausing for a moment, he laughed maliciously, "He is not sick at all, he is afraid that those who are sick will come to settle accounts with him."

Snape waited in the classroom for a long time, but instead of Riddle, he waited for Dolohov.

"Where's Riddle?" Snape asked. "Shouldn't it be TAhours now?"

"Maybe he has something to do." Dolohov stretched out his hand indifferently, "Can you lend me your review outline to take a picture?" That's what he said, but before Snape answered, Dolohov was already familiar with it. He took his notebook casually.

As he lowered his head to take pictures, Snape frowned: "I emailed him and he didn't reply, can you call and ask when he will come? I just saw him and Potter in the classroom to talk, but there is no one there now."

"He probably won't come," Dolokhov replied without raising his head.

Snape cursed inwardly.

This is not the first time Riedel has let them go, in fact he is often absent from TAhours for no reason and never responds to any emails.Snape once thought of reporting this kind of behavior to Slughorn, but the strange thing is that no one seems to have any objection to it except him - Lily, James and others formed a study group to work together Review, but don't the rest of the people need help from TA at all?

"Will you go back to the dormitory to review after taking the photo?" Snape couldn't help asking.

"Of course not." Dolokhov threw the notebook back to him, shaking the phone while shaking, "This kind of thing should be read as a bedtime story, okay?"

"Aren't you afraid of failing the exam?" Snape looked at him suspiciously.

Dolokhov chuckled: "I'm not afraid at all."

Snape felt that there was something else hidden in his smile. He didn't intend to pursue it any further, but in the blink of an eye he remembered another thing: "What kind of Riddle research project, why hasn't there been any progress so far? No?"

After Snape agreed to join his research project, Riddle quickly made an informed letter for him to sign, but there was no follow-up news after that.

"Ah... that project." Dolokhov yawned, "What are you doing so seriously?"

"What do you mean?"

Dolokhov shrugged his shoulders: "Do you really think that Tom will take you to the laboratory for experiments like a mentor?" He picked up his schoolbag, "This kind of project is just a name, okay? "

Before Snape could figure out what he meant, Dolohov walked out of the classroom.

But the story doesn't end there.

Half an hour later Snape finally gave up waiting for Riddle, but when he passed by the bathroom on the first floor, he heard Dolohov's voice from inside:

"...Do you think he is stupid, thinking that there are really experiments to do."

Another replied: "But what if he gets upset and stabs Slughorn?"

"How is that possible? Slughorn won't believe that he is good at all." Dolohov said nonchalantly, "and it is also stipulated in the knowledge letter that he cannot disclose the contents of the experiment...Anyway, Tom has a way to suppress it." Just come down."

"Tom's play is very dangerous." The other party replied, "You didn't slip up, did you?"

"No," said Dolokhov, "plagiarism is a serious crime, and I'm not stupid enough for that."

Snape held his breath, realizing that he had overheard a big secret.

There was a moment of silence in the bathroom.

"We are going to play games together tonight, will you come?"

"Come!"

The person Snape didn't know laughed: "Anyway, no matter how bad you do in the exam, you can change it in the end, can't you?"
