[HP] Morfin Gaunt

Chapter 20 Jealous

Voldemort's words shocked Voldemort immensely. In Voldemort's life, he never had the love of his parents. He grew up under the protection of his professor, and his only friend died very early. Even if he later became Darklord , was supported by the Death Eaters, but it was also because he gave them benefits.In the final duel with Harry Potter in his previous life, his only reluctance was actually Nagini, and his only heartache was also because of Nagini's passing.Now that he has lived again, he has encountered the biggest variable in his life: Morfin Gunter.This man is the only one who treats him well without asking for anything in return.Although he resisted repeatedly, this man made him quietly relax his bottom line unconsciously like water dripping through a rock.

While Morfin was introducing himself, the students in the audience were also talking about it.Hogwarts hadn't had a teacher change for a long time, and it was hard to avoid being surprised that there was an assistant teaching position for Charms at the beginning of the term. What's more, this professor had a famous surname——Gunter .This surname is no stranger to young wizards who have lived in the wizarding world since childhood.Of the four giants who founded Hogwarts thousands of years ago, only one family has passed down the bloodline, that is, the descendants of the founder of Slytherin, Salazar Slytherin. The Gaunt family is almost all married by close relatives, so absolutely Maintained the purity of the blood.But this family has never done anything in the wizarding world, and this time they suddenly appeared to teach at Hogwarts with a high profile, and they were also full of curiosity.

However, no matter how curious they were, they couldn't ask, since it was the opening ceremony after all.Just when Morfin finished introducing himself, Principal Dippet knocked on the crystal cup in front of him again, raised his upper hand slightly: "Dinner, let's start!" In an instant, the empty plate on the long table was full of food, The aroma of the food filled the hall, arousing everyone's appetite. The freshmen were amazed by the deliciousness of the food.

Morfin was also affected by this atmosphere, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little. He picked up the fork, forked some of the food in front of him and put it in Voldemort's bowl: "Tom, tell uncle what you want to eat, uncle Bring it to you, will you?"

Voldemort did not refuse Morfin's kindness, because it was true that the professor's table did not consider the arm length of Voldemort's children, if he wanted to eat something other than what was in front of him, he had to stand up, that would be too impolite.Moreover, the matter of Morfin serving him food also made him very happy.

The aristocrats in the audience, headed by Slytherin, quietly looked at Morfin who was smiling gently on the teacher's seat while eating: before they came to school, their parents asked them to try their best to find out Morfin's intentions.However, it is estimated that they will not be able to find out all of them, because Morfin came to Hogwarts to work because "he didn't know that he had a lot of money in his treasury to support his uncle and nephew". No one will believe it...

After dinner, the prefects will take their new students back to their dorms.As Morfin lived in the cellar, he went with Horace Slughorn.As a professor of Potions and a Slytherin, Horace is very tactful in dealing with people, and he is always accompanied by a smiling face, which makes people unable to catch his mistakes.Horace had caused Morfin dissatisfaction to a certain extent because he helped Dumbledore distract Morfin last time, and he quickly apologized afterwards.

Morfin didn't blame him any more, and maintained a superficial peace, talking and laughing along the way.When they arrived at the cellar, Horace said with a shy smile, "Mr. Gunter, what do you think of the proposal I mentioned last time? It would be even more perfect if my slug club added a talented person like you. You Don't change your mind."

Morfin also had a faint smile. He put his right hand on Voldemort's shoulder and said, "Of course I won't forget what I promised you. I'm afraid you think I'm redundant."

Horace made a slightly surprised look: "Who would shut Mr. Gunter out!" After he finished speaking, the two laughed and joked with each other again.In the end, the professor who could become a "panacea" said: "Mr. Gunter, the freshmen should have already made arrangements, and I have to talk about Slytherin-related matters. I wonder if you are interested in going together?"

Regarding Horace's invitation, Morfin shook his head and refused: "No, I'm a little tired today, Professor Slughorn, I'll go back and rest first, after all, there are classes tomorrow." Morfin refused naturally He has his reasons, he is not the dean of Slytherin, it is unreasonable to go to the freshman speech rashly, and besides, his identity is already sensitive, appearing there, I don't know what other people will think. idea.

Horace didn't force himself after listening to Morfin's words, and left with a smile and goodbye.As he walked away, the smile on Morfin's face faded.Voldemort on the side didn't speak from the beginning to the end, showing what a well-behaved child should be like, but he was also looking at Morfin's performance.After observing during the period of living in Hogwarts, he can be sure that Morfin should come from a noble family.During those days in Little Hangleton, he could feel that Morfin had a good etiquette upbringing, but in the past few days in Hogwarts, he saw more in Morfin's behavior.When interacting with people, Morfin kept a good distance, neither too unfamiliar nor too annoying, and that kind of smile was more attentive and less indifferent.When facing things, he is gentle when he should be gentle, and he will never back down when he should be tough.Coupled with his dining etiquette, it shows his attention to detail.Such a performance, if not cultivated in a big family, is difficult to achieve.

Back in his room, Mofin let out a long sigh of relief, pulled off the bow tie with his right hand and put it on the sofa, covering his eyes with the back of his left hand: "Sure enough, I haven't experienced such a thing for a long time, aren't you used to it?" Mofen thought of the scene of wandering around the dinner party with a wine glass in his previous life. It seemed to be a long time ago. Even the scene of joking with Qin Yu made people feel scared from the distance.Suddenly Morfin felt a kind of panic in his heart. He lost his posture for the first time, stood up suddenly like an electric shock, took the wand and hurried to the bookcase, found a glass bottle with a narrow neck, and pressed the wand to his temple Then, the white silk representing past memories was slowly pulled out from the temple, and guided by the magic wand, it entered the glass bottle.

Looking at the white mist floating in the transparent bottle wall, Morfin clenched his hands tightly. He was afraid, he was afraid from the bottom of his heart, afraid that he would forget the past, so he risked being found out to tell his memory Save it, after all, this is the only intersection with that world.

"Qin Yu..." Suddenly, as if he had lost all his strength, Mofen rested his forehead on the bottle and sighed the name.

Voldemort was full of doubts when Morfin hurriedly stood up, not knowing what kind of stimulation he had received, but when Morfin whispered a name he had never heard before while holding the bottle of memory, There was unreasonable anger in his heart.Who is that person?What is it with Morfin?where are you now?A series of questions made Voldemort feel irritated.Now he is very clear that he is not angry because of being concealed, but he can't care so much anymore, he just wants to know who that person named "Qin Yu" is.Although the pronunciation does not seem to be British, but nothing can trouble Darklord.He has firmly remembered that name, as long as he has his own power, he will know all his information clearly.

Although Voldemort felt the change in his attitude towards Morfin, he also ignored one point.If it was the original, he would have thought about how to take out the bottle of memory to figure out what was going on, instead of waiting to figure it out later—for Morfin, he began to give in.

While Voldemort was making arrangements in his mind, Morfin finally broke free from that mood, suddenly remembered that his nephew was still there, and quickly raised his eyes to Voldemort, and he was relieved when he saw his eyes half closed , thinking that the child was sleepy and didn't notice his gaffe.Carefully put the glass bottle in a cabinet, and then cast a spell learned from a certain book of spells, Morfin breathed a sigh of relief, because this spell has its own blood and its own code words at the same time, no one can solve it It is not difficult to drive, but it is extremely safe.

After getting everything ready, Morfin walked to Voldemort's side and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "Tom, are you sleepy? Go take a shower now!"

After what happened just now, Voldemort was no longer in the mood to read, so he nodded and prepared to rest.Walking in with a change of clothes, Voldemort soaked in the warm water, heaved a long breath, and relaxed his tense nerves and mind.It took a while before he suddenly opened his eyes, and his black eyes suddenly flashed light quickly: he had to start his plan, and now he was too weak.

While sorting out his thoughts, he took a bath. After the water cooled down, Voldemort put on his clothes and opened the door without haste. Outside the door, Morfin was resting on the sofa with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes when he heard a voice: "Tom, you Let's rest after washing." After speaking, he put a towel on Voldemort's head: "Remember to dry your hair."

Holding the towel in his right hand, Voldemort nodded, and began to slowly wipe the water droplets on his hair. After seeing Morfin entering, he quietly used a drying spell, and immediately his hair lost all moisture. .No way, Voldemort really didn't like to have a towel to wipe his hair a little bit. Of course, if Morfin wiped it for him, he would quite enjoy it.

Putting the towel on the table, Voldemort walked slowly into the bedroom, suddenly feeling annoyed: he forgot to tell Morfin to get another bed.There was no other way, Voldemort could only lie on the bed with his eyes closed, waiting for Morfin's arrival.Just when Voldemort was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly felt that the position next to him was sinking. He was just about to open his eyes, but there was a warm and soft touch on his forehead, and Morfin's voice echoed in his ears the next second: "Tom, You are my only sustenance..."

Hearing what Morfin said, Voldemort, who was about to open his eyes, suddenly lost the previous anger and thoughts of changing the bed, and smelled the faint fragrance lingering from the tip of his nose, and fell asleep slowly: Forget it, it's okay to sleep for another night anyway.
