In his impression, winter in England is a large area of ​​gray. Even if there is snow, it will only have the effect of black and white in the group of ancient buildings.Form the feeling of black and white intentional photography in the field of vision.Solemn, solemn, and heavy.

Suddenly wanted to travel. When he was in Germany, the old manors he visited always made him feel out of breath.Those manors have existed for a long time, and there are defensive windows left over from that era on the castle, and some of them don't even have windows.The layers of defensive magic above have been processed by generations of Patriarchs over the centuries, making it difficult to enter.

And the current Slytherin Manor also has a heavy feeling.Large-scale castles and vast forests, even if they cannot be compared with Slytherin Castle thousands of years ago, they are not too shabby in the current wizarding world. I don't know where Samuel's castle is located. Only Set can find it, and he comes here when he has something to do. Speaking of which, Riddle hasn't been to Samuel's place for a long time.

There was no wind, and the white snow kept falling, forming a thick layer on the ground. Riddle, who was only wearing a windbreaker, also had a layer on his shoulders. The large flock of pigeons in the square in the distance disappeared, and the gray sky , the color of London, pedestrians can no longer see it, as if I am the only one in this world.

It wasn't snowing in Slytherin Manor, but the air was getting colder. Louis, the butler who went to find the patriarch with a document, opened the door of the study, and saw a thick pile of documents on the desk, and a glass beside it was already cold. tea, ink still on the quill...just, there is no patriarch who should be working on the papers.

Louis stood at the door for a while, walked over, and put the document in his hand on the desk without leaving a note on it. It seemed that the man just went out like this.Louis glanced at it, turned and left.

As soon as he went out, he saw two snakes slowly crawling past the door, and the white Nagini was still poking his head into the room at the door.

[Hiss... obviously escaped again... poor butler] Nagini spat out the letter and said to Set.

[I don’t know who is pitiful... Louis is not easy to mess with] Undoubtedly, the one who understands the nature of the butler best is the basilisk, Set stopped, [Let’s continue to find a place to hibernate]

[OK] The two snakes slowly climbed away again.

Louis didn't understand snake language, and couldn't understand what they were saying, but judging by the leisurely appearance of the two snakes, it should be fine.Louis closed the door and walked in the opposite direction from the two snakes.

…………

Grindelwald and Heinrich, who live in the Slytherin Manor, are very leisurely. I really don't know what they are here for. The Saints are not a small organization.Is it difficult for this saint to finally let go of him and concentrate on retirement?However, if you want to retire in Germany, why do you come to this country where he never set foot?

Heinrich went out from time to time, and he didn't seem to know what to do, but Grindelwald looked like he was going to retire, and he wanted to retire to do research, and he couldn't come out in the Slytherin library all day long.Louis wasn't too worried, because the real library, where important books were kept, was only accessible to those of Slytherin blood.

And Sariel began to take lessons with a private teacher honestly. He was a smart kid, and his life of wandering earlier impressed him deeply. Even though he was still young at that time, children of wizards started to remember things very early, and Riddle was not sure about his early years. Does the baby still remember the matter, he just wants to give the baby a happy childhood instead of being oppressed by various etiquettes, the baby is like this now, and the children in the future will be like this, restricted by rules, bound, gloomy like the sky in London.

………………

It was snowing heavily in London, and London was covered by snow. Riddle was not the only one who went out in this weather. In front of him, a flash of light suddenly appeared, and a phoenix appeared in front of Riddle. Besides the phoenix, there was another person.

"Dumbledore?"

You can often find some very old small shops on the streets of London. These small shops have not disappeared in the torrent of time, but still exist and have a long history.

And now, a coffee shop on a street corner, with only a few customers on a snowy day, welcomes two customers.

Riddle pushed open the door, and the wind chimes hanging on the door jingled, and the room was warm. Britain is now in the post-war construction phase, but the British are still not decadent.There were several guests sitting there drinking coffee, and there was a strong aroma of coffee, which was the type Riddle liked very much.

The two walked to a window seat one after the other and sat down facing each other. Riddle slowly stirred the coffee in his cup, waiting for Dumbledore to ask questions.

Regarding Gellert Grindelwald’s coming to England and living in Slytherin Manor, he never thought he could hide it from Dumbledore. Apart from Grindelwald’s too publicity, Dumbledore has a good relationship with some people. This matter will know.Grindelwald's coming to England with such a high profile undoubtedly slapped Dumbledore hard in the face.We all know about the duel between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and we all know that Dumbledore sent Grindelwald to Newgarmond. Now, Grindelwald blatantly escaped from prison and appeared in England, and even lived in Slytherin Manor, making Dumbledore Lido lost face.

Riddle and the Saints were close and Dumbledore knew it.Riddle also told Dumbledore about the death of Grindelwald and Dumbledore when he traveled through time and space before, but he didn't expect Grindelwald to live in Slytherin Manor, and he didn't know what to do.I have to guard against it.

"Hehe, what a coincidence, to meet Riddle on such a cold day." Dumbledore added sugar to his glass, "I just came out for a stroll by chance, and I didn't expect to meet him here."

"What a coincidence, I suddenly wanted to go out for a walk this time, and I actually met Professor Dumbledore." Riddle smiled very politely.

"Being the head of Slytherin, does Riddle still want to go back to teaching?"

"Yes, I didn't say I'm leaving. Although there are a lot of things to do now, I should be more relaxed after a while. I like the position of professor, after all Hogwarts is my home."

Dumbledore's fingers touched, and Fawkes went nowhere. Muggles couldn't see him who had cast the Disillusionment spell, but Riddle, except for the warming spell, was useless, so his handsome face was completely exposed. in the eyes of others.

"That's fine."

"Really?" Through the glass window, you can see the white snow outside, a thick layer, and there are still snowflakes falling from the sky.There is a sense of unreality.

"I will never leave Hogwarts, ever."

………………

Riddle was welcomed back to the Slytherin Manor with thick documents on the desk, and the butler next to him stood aside, holding a pile of documents in his hand, with a half-smile. Seeing this expression, Riddle had a bad intuition, and sure enough, Louis said, "Master, this is a document that needs to be processed today, please go ahead."

The papers on the desk were more than twice as thick as usual, and Riddle never knew he would have so many papers to deal with.

"Louis, are you sure it's all today? Why do I feel a little too much?"

"Trust me, master, this is your duty." Louis said neither humble nor overbearing.

"I see. I'll go right away."

Nagini and Set, who were peeking behind the door, couldn't help laughing, [Sure enough, Louis is the person in charge of the family], as if noticing the gaze behind the door, Riddle glanced here, his red eyes were cold Sweeping over coldly, the two cold-blooded animals shivered.

Riddel said helplessly, "I see." He walked to the desk and began to process the documents.

He rubbed the space between his brows, he knew that he would not go out like this, but he never believed that meeting Dumbledore was by chance.

The pen in his hand was sliding on the paper. What did Dumbledore mean? Could it be because of Gellert Grindelwald?Did he guess wrong?Not Grindelwald loves Dumbledore, but Dumbledore loves Grindelwald?Dumbledore took the initiative?This relationship has already passed more than half a century, but the two caused so much turmoil.

Not long after, the butler who had left came in again, "Master, Mr. Aransis Carlandon is visiting."

"I see." Carrandon, another saint, did they really regard Slytherin Manor as the saint's British base? Riddle stood up, as the owner of this place, he should go to greet this guest, even if this guest came for the two people who lived here.

Saints, he really got too close to saints.It's just that if he wasn't a saint at that time, he wouldn't be where he is now.

………………

At the beginning of the new year, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor that all Hogwarts students have been looking forward to has finally returned, and he is no longer a substitute teacher.Life at Hogwarts was still the same, without many new ideas. Riddle walked in the corridors, and the sunlight passed through the carvings on the windows, giving him a sense of fragmented beauty.

He was holding a lesson plan in his hand. His pale and slender hands had processed countless documents before. Layers of lace were exposed from the cuffs, covering his wrists and covering his fingertips. From time to time, a student walked by and asked politely, " Hello Professor," and left in a hurry. Riddle smiled and nodded in response.

Riddle walked further and further down, towards the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets. He then modified the exit, but the password remained the same.It was still a gray wall, rough to the touch, and he stopped there, stroking his hand lightly, and the writing on it emerged as always, "I'm back." He whispered.

The inside is still the same as it was before. Riddel just cleaned it up and restored it to look like it was a thousand years ago.He didn't add anything superfluous here, except for one thing - a painting, a painting that didn't fit well in the room, a painting he had taken out after opening Salazar Slytherin's private vault.

"Salazar," the corners of Riddle's mouth curved into a beautiful arc, "I've been a little tired recently, and I have too many things to do. I can't even afford a house, so I have to live in Slytherin Manor..."

A muffled sound echoed through the room as Riddle leaned back in his chair, sinking into the soft feather pillow.

………………

There are many people who can't sleep tonight, such as Riddle, Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Abraxas Malfoy.

After taking a bath, Chief Malfoy was only wearing a loose bathrobe, leaning against the head of the bed and reading a book. The unfastened bathrobe revealed jade-like skin, reflecting soft light under the lamp.

Mrs. Malfoy, who came out of the bathroom, was no longer the young girl she used to be. She would blush when she saw the monstrous Abu. Years of marriage had already made her used to such a monstrosity as her husband. She walked to the bed in light pajamas, The soft body stuck to Abu's body, hugged Abu's arm, and whispered in his ear, "Honey~"

Abu put down the book in his hand, put his arms around his wife, "what's wrong?"

"Adnois has two children, we never had one, I fell in love with Sariel the other day," she posted on Abu, "It would be great if we had such a cute child..."

Abu's hand had already reached into her nightgown, touched the skin of the charming young woman under the nightgown, turned over and pressed down, "Then let's work hard."

Night is still long.
