[HP] Noble

Chapter 398

Scorpius stared blankly at the appearance of the future dark lord—he seemed to pay great attention to his image, and every detail of his clothes was handled meticulously. It was hard to imagine that such a person would allow his appearance to change in the future. Into that pale and ugly look.

And his eyes...

Scorpius can't remember who he once heard said that the eyes of the Dark Lord were not red in the first place - the color change of the eyes should have started when he began to study Horcruxes and tried to divide his soul to obtain eternal life, and this is obviously Not allowed - nothing is immortal, including the first seven guardian princes, their term of office is also limited, once the term of office ends, they must return to their original positions, and then accept a new one reincarnation.

However, the human heart is uncontrollable.

When some people who have been endowed with natural magic power by the guardian try to opportunistically violate the contract signed with the guardian at the beginning and want to leave the normal road to obtain greater benefits, such behavior is usually regarded as a violation of their rights. The betrayal of the original magic giver—betrayal, which means that they must pay the price for it, so various unexpected situations happened to them...

For example, the physical bodies of some of them have changed.

Some people have to leave their familiar environment and live in the hot and humid swamp area all their lives.

There are some people whose blood has been cursed from generation to generation—such as the Malfoy family. The price they pay for their betrayal is that they have to accept the pain of changing dragon scales and shedding their skin for a long time every year until they die. and fragile.

Under normal circumstances, things like "betrayal" will only happen to the ancestors of the family, and more descendants will follow the rules after seeing the consequences of betrayal-and usually, as generations reproduce, they Their power has also become not as pure as it was at the beginning-this means that their occasional "derailment" will not reach the level of "betrayal of the contract".

And for so many years, among modern wizards, probably only the Dark Lord has achieved this because of his innate power and ambition.

Scorpius wasn't surprised by this - the madman's potential was clearly limitless - but now he was surprised that he didn't expect to do this at such a young age for the Dark Lord - was it the intel he got in the first place That's right, Riddle has already started thinking about the Horcrux thing?

The point of this memory is definitely not here-Riddle certainly didn't know that he was from the future, and Scorpius guessed that he was just an ordinary sixth-grade fool in the eyes of the overly conceited Dark Lord. He would never have guessed how much information his inadvertently revealed memory fragments actually contained—probably in the eyes of many researchers who study the history of magic, "Riddle walked in from the principal's office" The memory fragments that happened in a few seconds are more important than the memory of the chamber itself.

The corners of Scorpius' lips tightened, and he soon discovered that he was obviously not the only one in the principal's office who had the same confusion as him.

At this moment, no one in the principal's office spoke. For the sudden arrival of the chairman of the male student union, the other two boys who reacted most to this were the other two boys present. His expression was put away in an instant, and he looked like he finally had the kind of gloom that came from a dark wizard family. His eyes swept over Riddle's face, and then he wrinkled fiercely. raised his eyebrows.

As for Lucius Malfoy, his gaze was clearly fixed on the young Riddle's eyes from the very beginning, complex emotions of surprise, confusion and fear flashed in the silver-gray pupils, but in When the latter felt that his eyes turned to him, he quickly lowered his eyes again, and returned to the original expressionless and polite appearance.

At this time, it seemed that he finally felt that the atmosphere in the office was a bit weird. Principal Dippet got up from behind his desk, leaned across the desk and slightly narrowed his presbyopic eyes—— This look made him look a bit like Dumbledore, looking at his male student council president, Principal Dippet said unhurriedly: "Riddle, forgive me for my bad eyes, old man, your eyes— —”

"It's just that something went wrong with a magic experiment." The young Riddle smiled, "And I just came to you just for this, to see if there is any solution, the children in the lower grades saw me like this It looks a little scared."

Scorpius blinked, then stared at Riddle for a moment as if frightened - a few seconds later, he turned his head sharply towards the old man behind the desk, and then he continued I was shocked to find that after hearing the male student union chairman's confession, the old headmaster showed a relieved expression - and from the tone of his next speech, it can be heard how much he indulged this outstanding student : "Oh, I told you, don't touch things that contain dark information, let alone try it lightly..."

Scorpius: "..."

Wait, what kind of answer is that? !

In Principal Dippet's words, there was more helplessness than blame.

Even an idiot can tell that this is not the first time Mr. Riddle has.

And he is probably carrying this frank and lenient sincere face like he is now, grandly experimenting with various black magic under the nose of the principal (now it seems that "black magic research" has advanced to "horcrux") ——After something happened, you still ran to ask for help and asked others to clean up the mess for you? !

Scorpius widened his eyes, realizing that this is probably the time period when the Dark Lord just started to study Horcruxes and made an attempt—yes, it is impossible for a great wizard to succeed in this aspect once—this time It means that in the case of countless failures before his success, there must be such a powerful external resource supporting him.

And this "powerful resource" is all the faculty and staff of Hogwarts.

Just like now, he made an attempt and failed as expected, so he ran to the principal's office and asked the principal and various professors—including Dumbledore, who was still a professor at this time—to provide Escort the career of researching Horcruxes by yourself?

...On the list of behind-the-scenes contributors to Horcrux manufacturing, it is only fair that the names of all the faculty and staff who worked at Hogwarts 24 years ago should be included.

The black-haired Slytherin, who suddenly realized this, heard the sound of his three views collapsing-apparently even Dumbledore thought it was a stupid black history, so he didn't say a word to others, only vaguely mentioned In essence, it was Hogwarts that caused Riddle to go astray as the Dark Lord——to most people's ears, they would probably only think that this was the scene of the headmaster's Virgin Mary attack...

But now in fact, it seems that Professor Dumbledore just said a very real truth.

My head was a little dizzy, and my temples were throbbing. Scorpius couldn't even think about it now-it's said that there are always differences in the concept accepted between generations-but What he didn't expect was that compared to his time, when both students and professors were talking about black magic, the magic world more than 20 years ago was so tolerant of black magic!

If Draco knew this, he would probably beat his chest with jealousy, why didn't he give birth ten or twenty years earlier...

Scorpius was thinking dazedly, at this moment, he could still hear Principal Dippet buzzing in his tone of respect and teaching without haste or condescension: "The change of color of the eyes is already right. Your warning, Tom, you need a strict purification ceremony, I will let Professor Dumbledore help you complete it personally, after that, I hope you can learn from it."

Scorpius: "..."

So, this is exempt from confinement?

This...what is the law of heaven! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Under Scorpius' collapsed gaze, Riddle in the diary's memory listened to the headmaster's words, raised the corners of his lips to show an elegant smile, and he bent slightly: "Yes, Mr. Headmaster, of course I will obey you teach."

When Principal Dippet showed a satisfied expression and looked at Riddle with the admiration of "children can be taught", Scorpius took a breath, and now he just wanted to find a place to support himself to calm down for a while— —In the principal's office, the person who apparently had the same idea as him was actually young Sirius. After listening to a series of conversations between them, he let out a very loud sneer.

Narcissa Black frowned because of her brother's rude behavior, while Lucius Malfoy, who was standing behind him, tapped him hard on the head with the hard metal part of his wand without saying a word!

"Hey," Sirius suddenly turned his head and stared at the proud platinum nobleman, "you're not my brother-in-law!"

"Oh, for God's sake, shut up, Sirius."

Miss Black, who was not Mrs. Malfoy, blushed. This expression was very vivid—this woman was mostly gentle after becoming a mother, and even full of doting obedience to her son—that was quite in line with her status at the time. , as if her expression now is quite in line with her status as a young, unmarried noble lady.

But now Scorpius is completely in no mood to watch the previous generation flirt.

His whole body was in a messy state in the wind, and he had never wanted to find someone like this moment—such as Professor Dumbledore talking about life, looking back on the past, and... imagining the future.

His stomach was churning as he watched Headmaster Dippet give Sirius a lesson and throw him and the Gryffindor quartet out for a week before kicking them all out - Scorpius followed Sirius left the headmaster's office together with one step behind his buttocks, listening to the heavy door being closed behind him.

Narcissa and Lucius parted ways with them after they left the headmaster's office - they were obviously very happy with the ending of this Gryffindor falling into Riddle's hands.

Riddle went first.

Sirius walked behind him impatiently with his hands tied.

After passing through a few corners of the corridor and still not hearing any reaction from Riddle, Gryffindor, who was following behind, finally couldn't hold back anymore. He frowned and said in a voice full of vigilance: "You Where are you taking me?"

"Go to the infirmary," said Riddle without looking back, "go and apologize to Severus Snape."

"What?!" Sirius groaned strangely, as if swallowing a bedbug alive, "That's disgusting—I mean, who's going to apologize to the snot—if he didn't walk without looking at the road Pretending to be me, and humming at me with his nostrils defiantly, as if I have time to find fault with him!"

Sirius speaks very fast—his nervousness and rapid speech seem to have been cultivated since he was a child... Hearing him call his dean "snotty" one after another, Scorpius turned over He rolled his eyes, and at the same time, he heard Riddle say in a voice that didn't have much emotional ups and downs: "I don't have time to waste time with you, Mr. Black, after looking at you and apologizing, I have to go to the library -"

"What?" Sirius pricked up his ears like a real big dog with a keen sense of smell, "Regulus is waiting for you there, isn't he?"

The young male student council president who was walking in front finally stopped his footsteps. He turned around and looked at the black-haired Gryffindor behind him expressionlessly—and at this moment, seeing his reflection, The latter seemed to be more sure of his thoughts—he showed a trademark joking smile: "Okay, I knew, oh, that kid has always been a little follower, he used to follow behind my ass, and now he has become you--"

"If you have doubts about this, you can apply to be transferred to Slytherin, so that your brother can follow your ass again, Mr. Black." Riddle said calmly, "If you wantonly attack Others are the way you express your love, and it's a shame to remind you that you may be alone for the rest of your life."

Scorpius: "..."

Sirius' smile froze on his face.

It seemed like it took him about three seconds to get the literal meaning of the sentence.

Then, being smart, he spent another three seconds to understand the deeper meaning below the words.

Now he looks dumbfounded—he seems unable to decide whether it is better to deny that "I didn't feel lost because of my brother's estrangement" first, or to emphasize first that "I only punished him because of watching that snot pissed off" ——In short, before he had time to say anything, the young Riddle had already turned around and embarked on the journey to the medical wing again.

After staring blankly at his background for a while, Sirius followed behind cursingly.

At this time, Scorpius had only one doubt in his mind: Where is the promised secret room?

A few minutes later, they arrived at the medical wing.

Then saw another dark-haired Gryffindor who was sneaking around the window of the hospital wing at this moment, peeping in through the half-drawn curtains - his hair was messed up like a bird's nest - - Completely unkempt - although he looks good, but that face is so familiar that there is no way to have a good impression of him.

Scorpius felt a mouthful of blood lodge in his throat.

"Oh, James!" Scorpius heard Sirius snarl in his ear. "For God's sake, why are you sneaking around here like a pervert!"

The person by the window seemed startled by the call—he turned his head—looking at his good friend who was staring at him like a ghost with a face very similar to his son, he He raised his hand and scratched his head, messing up his bird's nest-like hair a bit more: "I heard Lily said that the snot spirit was hurt very badly, and she was furious and said that if I don't apologize, I won't be with you next weekend. Went out on a date—er, that's why I came over to see if he was dead."

Saying that, Potter's father showed a silly disgusted expression.

The acting is overly exaggerated to the point of being clumsy.

When Sirius heard this, he lowered his voice and muttered something in his throat. Scorpius guessed that it was a dirty word like "Damn", but Riddle, who saw this scene in his eyes, didn't say anything, just uttered He let out a laugh that he couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or simply amused.

For a while, the atmosphere seemed very delicate.

In the delicate atmosphere, the amount of information was so large that Scorpius was a little out of breath.

He didn't know that he came to explore the truth of a secret room and could get so many gifts for buying one and getting one free... 24 years ago lace news gossip.

And before he actually saw the secret room, he felt that his little heart seemed to have seriously exceeded the load of "tolerable shock today".

and so.

What about the secret room? ! ! ! ! ! ! !
