the lost castle

The sky has always been gray. According to other wizards, this is not the case near the Great Green Sea. The sky there is the same as the sea. It is as bright as a magic blue, and there are snow-white clouds. The wind smells of sea water. .

Although far from war, the spread of the plague still forced Muggles to burn entire villages.

This is how the choking smell and thick smoke come from, because the Holy See has discovered that wizards are not afraid of the plague, and even those villages that have become extinct and become ruins have become the best hiding places for wizards.So people believed that those terrible diseases were brought by wizards. They were afraid, drove and burned wizards desperately, because they believed that all unfortunate disasters and deaths were spread by wizards.

Muggles' belief in God has reached a weird level.

They can't eat, can't wear full clothes, but piously put the only property they have into the sin box of the church, just because they believe that the suffering in this life is to go to heaven after death.

After another seven months without a drop of rain, all the wheat in the county died, and desperate cries and prayers to God could be heard everywhere.This kind of thing, even a wizard, feels distressed. Although a town with many people means danger, it also has opportunities to hide.He wiped clean the portraits hanging in the dilapidated house one by one, put them away, and stuffed them into his backpack. Although he couldn't remember his name or his past experience at all, the words on the frame made him very clear. Understand that I do not belong to this era.

"That's the memory you gave up." The portraits would smile briskly when he asked.

He felt the same way. On the morning of the first impression, there were snowflakes. He seemed to wake up from a nightmare. He was very tired, but he couldn't remember the content, but he felt relaxed all over.

As a wizard, it is easy to feel the person who is extremely consistent with the fluctuations of his soul.

"Hello, I think this may be an unpleasant start."

I also don't remember the former wizard, those blood-red eyes, when looking at him, I still have a weird illusion.

However, soon, in this era, if you insist on going your own way without relying on anyone, the only thing waiting for you is death.Especially wizards who live in the Muggle world without wealth and status.

They have a lot in common and a lot of differences.

The most troublesome thing is that they can't be too far away, otherwise there will be a tearing pain deep in the soul. This is not a contract, but it cannot be lifted.Well, anyway, in this era, many wizards also have a fixed companion like this. Maybe they are not the most speculative and have common preferences, but they finally understand each other and cooperate with each other tacitly. Many times, walking alone means that they will become prey.Although I am not afraid of those bandits, or wizards with bad character, but using too much magic will expose my identity, which is not a good thing.

"Your potions are not bad, your black magic is not bad, your fighting skills are not bad, and the most important thing is that you don't have a temper. It's not easy to find such a wizard these days." This is what the wizard who didn't like his name said If so, Tom.Riddle, there is nothing wrong with this name, why did his face turn black when he heard the portraits say this name.

By the way, he himself doesn't know the reason, because they are all people who don't remember the past.

Although the companions commented on themselves as lacklustre, in fact, as soon as they arrived at the place where wizards gathered, many people pointed at them, showing expressions of fear and panic.

Merlin, he wasn't ready for the fact that he was a villain or a brutal wizard.

——But who can explain why Riddle enjoys the gaze of others so much.

"Cough...let me remind you, they are looking at me."

The anger in those red eyes burned, and they stared fiercely.

Of course, it didn't take long before this little misunderstanding came to light. It was only caused by his black hair and green eyes. In fact, the person wizards were afraid of was the Duke of Slytherin who was far away in Hogwarts. I have nothing to do with myself.

"I'm really not Salazar. Slytherin." Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, it was very laborious to explain N times, and finally one day it worked. A witch stood up and claimed that she knew herself, which can prove this sentence talk.

james.evans.

The effect of this name is obvious. Many wizards showed expressions that they have heard of before, and their attitudes have softened a lot. It can even be said that they have completely reversed and become enthusiastic and respectful.

There are bad things too, like Riddle's expression, it's clear he hates the name more than he hates his own.

"During the original Muggle massacre of wizards, you saved a lot of people."

Yeah?Would he do such a thing, regardless of his own safety, to save others?Thinking about it carefully, it seems possible, but this is indeed not something that other wizards in this era would do. Even if you only save three or five, you will know it as a rare item——Dear Harry, you forgot The mortality rate in this era, if you only saved a few, you might not live long enough to tell others your name.

But a good reputation brings not only respect, but also those with ulterior motives.

"...he has the Deathly Hallows on him!"

Merlin, what is that.

"Reaper's Cloak!!"

Once again, he killed a group of wizards who followed them in the dark and attempted to poison them, and began to rummage through his luggage in confusion. Apart from the pile of portraits, there was really nothing valuable that was worth so many people robbing.Apart from clothes, the only thing that can be called a cloak seems to be the invisibility cloak. Although it is very rare, generally anyone who has been to the wizard gathering place and is not short of money will have one. You know the invisibility cloak Although it cannot escape magical creatures with a keen sense of smell, nor can it escape the observant knights of the Holy See, it is still useful for ordinary Muggles.

"Don't you think that your invisibility cloak hasn't expired after such a long time?"

In the end, it was Riddle who couldn't help but make a sound. At the same time, he also decided in his heart that he must retrieve the lost memory. Otherwise, following such a nervous guy who always ignores details, the safety really needs to be verified.

"That's right!" The invisibility cloak will expire within a month at most, and you need to buy it again.But it's strange why he can think of this common sense when he thinks about it, but seeing that the invisibility cloak has been effective, he doesn't feel anything wrong.This is a habit? !

Well, anyway, the sun rises and sets every day, and this is something that will not be doubted.

He just felt that he was always used to having someone around who made wise judgments and decisions, but he knew that the person he was used to would definitely not be Riddle (Dumbledore coughed in the portrait, missing the little girl Hermione), but The portraits all said, love, what is love, probably just habit.

Anyway, gradually, I felt that other wizards always had this or that unpleasant place.Or is this guy who is always cynical and sarcastic thinking consistent with himself (it is purely a generation gap caused by the millennium, cough), this is an indescribable awkwardness, when something happens, their judgment is often consistent with those around them Wizards are all different.

No need to talk to each other, no need to look at each other, what is the matter with this kind of tacit understanding that is actually very repulsive in my heart.

This is a very long time, or a very short time.

The Muggle war became more and more fierce, and many wizarding families no longer existed, so there were also many fellow travelers who depended on each other, or companions came together. This is nothing new in this wizarding gathering place.The kind of blazing love that burns life just because it looks at a glance is simply vulnerable in this era, and they always have to separate due to various situations. Even if they get married, the instability and differences in life will still cause terrible results.

So it's not uncommon for Ravenclaw at Hogwarts to part ways with alchemists in Ireland.

Life is like this, maybe you don't know why, habit has dominated you, it is stronger than fate.

But one day, when Riddle, who insisted on going to Hogwarts, came back, he looked at him with a strange expression. He must have regained his memory. He wiped the frame, and the past was definitely not what he wanted.

"Good evening, James, all the wizards around here are about to move out."

Wake up from the memory, James.Evans smiled habitually. The person standing at the door talking was a short wizard who was no longer young. It was said that he had rescued him from the pursuit of the Holy See knights more than ten years ago.

"Where's Mr. Riddle? Are you leaving first?"

"Ah, yes, he looked from the swamp to see if there was a better way to go."

The little wizard said goodbye to him with his luggage on his back. In this era, everyone gathers and leaves in such a hurry. In fact, not being able to trust anyone is probably the most important reason.

Put on the cloak of invisibility, this is the most precious treasure of the Peverell family, maybe his surname should be Peverell, not Evans.He packed up everything, and woke up the sleepy little basilisk girl from the bed, just like the muggles in the village who flee with their weak animals and children in their arms, Aerys took him by the sleeve and huddled in his cloak , along the long and barren path, to the wilderness full of unknowns.

【One day, you will go back to Hogwarts, that castle. 】

【…Why don't Tom and Harry go back with me? 】

[Because, the future is what Aerys expects, and we are only here. 】
