[HP+ Fantastic Beasts] Fallen

As soon as I walked out of the classroom, the chilly autumn wind blew in front of me.

Abu took down the golden fallen leaves that accidentally fell on his shoulders, looked at them for a moment, and put them in the textbook.

This autumn at Hogwarts is quiet and peaceful, and it seems to be no different from the past.

Even the duel between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, which established the future history of magic, was only discussed among the students for a few days before calming down.

The winner was Dumbledore, after all—the students' beloved Transfiguration professor wasn't leaving them.

At this time, "Riddle", who passed by, nodded to Abu.

This is probably the only change after the duel - Mars's leave of absence is getting longer and longer - and the time for the real Riddle to appear at Hogwarts is getting shorter and shorter.

Although the saints were handed over to Riddle by Grindelwald, there are only a few who really surrendered, so Riddle has not had an easy life these days.

No matter how smart and powerful he is, he is still just a boy.

Thinking of this, Abu couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted - next time he comes to borrow books, he should treat Riddle better...

However, when this "next time" came, it was already a deep winter with heavy snow.

When Abu returned to the dormitory after class, he saw Riddle standing at the door in a cloak, with a chill that hadn't dissipated, and snow that had just melted on his shoulders.

The two were speechless for a while when they met, Abu opened the door and motioned for Riddle to follow him in, then poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of him.

During this period of time, Abu always had inexplicable insomnia and dreams. Even with the blessing of the Radiant Curse, he was inevitably a little tired; and Riddle had not returned to Hogwarts for many days, and the mess left by Grindelwald also made him burnt out. At this moment, holding hot tea, sitting on the sofa by the fireplace, I was a little dazed.

After taking a sip of hot tea, Abu took the book that Riddle returned, "What do you want to borrow this time?"

Riddle tilted his head and thought for a while, "It's about the ancient rune."

Abu got up and took a few books from the bookshelf and handed them to Riddle. Riddle received the bag, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can I... sit a little longer?"

"Of course." Abu nodded.

For some reason, sitting with Riddle like this, it is rare to feel at ease, as if no matter what kind of storm is outside, it will not affect the moment of tranquility here and now.

Abu didn't want to know about things in Germany, and Riddle would not bother him with this, but just looked at him with dark eyes.

"Why..." Riddle stretched out his hand and stroked the faint blackness under Abu's eyes with his thumb, "Is there anything that bothers you recently?"

The warm and rough touch of his fingers made Abu slightly taken aback, but he didn't realize he wanted to avoid it. He rubbed his slightly swollen and painful temples, "It's nothing serious, I always don't have a good rest."

Riddle smiled lightly, "Are you worried about me?"

"..." Abu turned his head to avoid Riddle's hand, "What do you have to worry about? Probably... the exam is approaching."

Does Malfoy feel anxious about exams?

It is impossible to think.

But Riddle didn't expose him, and stood up with a smile, "It's getting late, you're so tired, go to bed early, I won't bother you any more."

Abu sent him to the door, "You go to bed early too, good night."

"Good night."

As soon as he left Abu's sight, Riddle restrained the smile on his face.

After finally getting the Saints almost done, he braved the heavy snow and rushed back to Hogwarts. He was really a little tired.

During this period of time, he focused his energy on Germany and did not return for a long time, which made his followers at Hogwarts a little uneasy.

Mars, who had returned to his original appearance, hurried over, looked around and saw that there was no one around, and respectfully saluted Riddle, "Lord."

"Ah."

"Lord..." Mars looked at Riddle with some apprehension and anticipation, "Is there any action going to come back this time?"

Riddle hugged the book and pondered for a moment, "Half an hour later, let everyone wait for me in the Response Room."

Ben didn't have any plans, but when Mars mentioned it, he remembered that he had ignored the Death Eaters for too long because of the saints. During the period after the duel, Dumbledore had been a little absent-minded and relaxed his vigilance towards him.

It's time for the basilisk to come out and breathe.

------

After all, they are all students, and there are still a few who know Occlumency, and Riddle doesn't fully trust them, so he didn't tell them about the existence of the Basilisk, but only told them to "take care" of the Mudbloods and promote the supremacy of pure blood.

And the behavior of the Death Eaters can also do some confusing cover for the impact of his opening the secret room. Even if someone doubts him at that time, they will inevitably be distracted by the Death Eaters.

Since he first entered Hogwarts, Riddle has spent a lot of thought on his life experience, and later with the resources of Grindelwald, he quickly found Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and successfully controlled the basilisk.

It's just that I haven't found the right time, and it's not easy to learn from Grindelwald, so I put it on hold.

Now it’s a good time by accident, and after becoming the leader of the saints, his aversion to “death” has become increasingly deep, and it just so happens that he can use the basilisk to make Horcruxes—thinking of this, Riddle rarely feels some joy , can fly away from death, then he can truly become a great "DarkLord".

Riddle didn't attend class the next day, and he still let Mars pretend to be him, and made the illusion that he was still in Germany—other professors might not be able to see the abnormality of "Riddle", and Dumbledore certainly wouldn't.

After everything was arranged properly, Riddle went to the secret room left by Slytherin through a secret passage in the cellar. Of course, he would not enter from the women's toilet, that is the passage for the basilisk to enter and exit-as for why Slytherin would Set the passage in the women's toilet, maybe... the basilisk is female?

[Go ahead and attack those mudbloods with dirty blood, but don't kill them yet. 】The hissing Parseltongue echoed in the empty secret room, looking mysterious and evil. When the word "Mudblood" was mentioned, Riddle frowned in disgust.

Following Grindelwald these years, he also learned more about Muggles, which also made him hate Muggles, mudbloods, and wizards who advocate being friendly with Muggles.

The combination of this rude and filthy species with the wizard makes the wizard's blood no longer pure, and the magic power becomes weaker and weaker.

And their ignorance also caused great harm to the wizards, ranging from the witch hunt to his ridiculous mother.

The reason for not wanting their lives for the time being is firstly because he needs to test the reaction of everyone, and secondly because he has not yet decided who will be the first Horcrux sacrifice.

When he came back to his senses, the basilisk had already left the secret room along the pipeline. The basilisk had lived for so many years, its IQ was not low, and it could clearly understand Riddle's instructions.

Taking out Nagini from her clothes, facing the basilisk that could be called her ancestor, she was still a little timid, and curled up quietly in Riddle's cloak.

【You are no longer young, Nagini," Riddle looked into her dark eyes, 【very heavy. 】

[Tommy, it's not very gentlemanly to call a lovely lady heavy—]

【Go help the basilisk,】 Riddle touched her head, 【Take it as exercise and lose weight. 】

[I hate you Tommy! 】
