[HP] Tom next door to Mary

"We're just making a simple record, so you don't have to be too nervous." The Scotland Yard staff member in a camel coat said to Mary in front of the hospital bed with a notepad.

This is already the third day after she woke up. The bullet grazed her waist. She was sent to the hospital in time, and the operation was arranged soon. She survived fortunately. Except for the scar that had to be left, she will still Can live a normal life.

Perhaps the pain caused by the burning sensation between the wounds was reflected on her face, and the police officers were unwilling to let the young girl recall the shocking scenes a few more times. After all, it was her fiancé who killed her. Besides, the case Very self-explanatory.

He flipped through a few pages of files. The victim, Mary, whose surname was actually linked to Wall, was the name of the orphanage. She was born on April [-], [-], and served in the third logistics force in Windsor.Deceased, Hugh Cliff, Henry Cliff's only son, October [-], [-] on... Alas, it's all war!

The first eyewitness, Tom Riddle, Mary's old acquaintance in the orphanage... has just been recorded, it is a blessing in misfortune, now the apartment on Hanbering Street is rarely occupied, if not When this boy appeared, she didn't know how much more blood was left, whether she could still be investigated here!

"Mary, are you okay?" The witness he spoke of walked into the ward and looked at the girl on the bed with a compassionate expression. He sighed that there are always some good things left in this era, and then After telling Mary that she can come to claim Hugh's body if she wants to, she leaves.

"I didn't know things would turn out like this." Mary lowered her head wearily. She didn't blame Tom for giving her that flashy thing. After all, he definitely didn't understand her now, and she should thank him, if not for him.. ....Tom has really changed, but she always thinks about him with the thoughts she had when she was a child. Thinking of this, she showed a gratified and guilty expression.

Riddle naturally observed the change in her face, and he continued to say hypocritically: "Mary, why do you want to marry this kind of person?"

"Hugh..." Mary sighed, and looked up into Riddle's black eyes, "He used to be good, no matter what he looks like, I shouldn't abandon him, and, I think I should get married. "

"Just because of this?"

"Ah, why not?" Mary's eyes widened slightly, showing an expression of "otherwise what else do you want me to do", expressing that she took her life plan for granted.

"You really have no ambitions." He criticized, and Mary looked at Riddle's expression without much change, but she suddenly felt that the him when she was a child overlapped with the him now, and he still couldn't explain so much to her It's disgusting, after all, her life ideals are very different from his. She thinks ordinary life is ordinary and precious, but he seems to insist on occupying a big position in this world, which is something she can't reach.

However, it also made Mary feel that this was Tom, more real than the Tom who said he wanted to be her friend that day. Of course, she thought he still regarded her as a friend.

"Hugh..." Mary was filled with emotion for a moment. She didn't have much experience with men. He was the only man who expressed his love for her. He clearly said "love" to her, but when he arrived Yesterday, he hated her so much again, and she still thought that they had a lot of time to reconcile those pains...

"He doesn't love you, and you'll come out, Mary."

Riddle thought that his words were always provocative. As long as he opened his mouth, many people would follow his train of thought. This feeling of being in control did not reflect on Mary. Riddle didn't understand , why she would break down to the point of crying for the phrase "he doesn't love you", so that he wondered if he should add some more comforting words, but he didn't do it because she was crying at this time, Mary's tears welled up from her bright eyes, he had rarely seen her cry, as a spectator, it felt...exciting, trembling with excitement, like a snake eating his heart.

She couldn't feel the undercurrent in his pupils. She was immersed in her personal world where no one loved her until her chest contracted violently and she was out of breath.

Too rude.

It's all right, Mary, forget about a man who doesn't love you, all right, you're back in London now, you're alive, you're going on with your new life.

"What about you, how are you doing at school?" Mary patted her chest hard to get her voice back to normal, and asked this curious question with red eyes, "Which college did you go to? Ravenclaw ?”

"Slytherin." Riddle still looked indifferent.

She knew that Tom was very smart, and knew how to better control her magic power when she was a child, but she didn't think about his answer at all. When she heard about this academy, she suddenly became a little unhappy, and even twisted her body. But he immediately grinned from the pain in his waist.

"Oh, congratulations," she said dryly.

"Are you unhappy?" Riddle continued to ask with contempt in his heart.

"You might not know that I dueled with Lorelelle Perrault, from your house, and sent her to St. Mungo's for five months. Her parents found the school, and that's how I got expelled." She shrugged.

"I know." He nodded, "You were quite famous in the first two years, Mary, you were amazing. As far as I know, Perot was already in seventh grade at that time."

"She called Mirabella, that word," said Mary viciously. "Even now, if she were in front of me, I wouldn't regret the duel. I'd still send her to St. Mungo's." Mirabella is her good friend, a girl as beautiful as a black pearl.

But after she came back from the battlefield, she never saw her again.

Riddle was noncommittal, he already knew the ins and outs of the matter at school, and he didn't know why he wanted to hear from Mary himself, maybe because he thought it was ridiculous to be expelled for this kind of friend, Mary always It's making these unworthy unequal transactions.

He is like a real investigator. When talking with Mary, he has invisible details of her life in the past four years, and he feels bored again. Mary's life is so pale and joyless. The only exciting point is It was her struggle to survive in the flames of war.

Moreover, chatting with her is also a kind of ordeal, like two incompatible thoughts colliding with each other, but it didn't inspire any new ideas, but made me feel irritable.

He kept replying to Mary's eloquence, and thought of the old milkman's son in his head. How could he stay in her life without any bright spots for four or four years? What about five years?Is it vulgar and uninteresting like her?

Thinking of this, he interrupted Mary's story about wasting time with Hugh, who was not so bad at the time, on the green lanes outside London, and found an excuse to leave in a hurry.

For the next few days, he didn't show up again.

Mary didn't care too much, after all, she didn't need Tom Riddle to be with her all the time, did she?It felt so weird.

She started to worry about money, she didn't have any savings, and used all her savings to buy that small apartment, although Xio had been blaming her for buying a house now just to be bombed/flat, but that's all she could buy at this time Now, she also wants to have a home of her own!

The longer she stayed in the hospital, the more panicked she became. Where did the hospitalization and food expenses come from, and turned into a dozen dollars?still......

Or Tom Riddle just in time!

She was literally going to yell again Tom you saved my life again, you are a saint!Savior!

When he reappeared, he brought a bottle of white fresh essence, and her wound immediately began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The director of the hospital all came forward to say that this was a medical miracle, and even hinted whether she should have an examination before going to bed. Let's go, she immediately slipped away in fright, she didn't want to be fooled into taking a blood test because of a bottle of Baixian essence, thinking that she could extract a different DNA of so-and-so.

Although the addition of all these miscellaneous medical expenses still caused her heartache.

She searched and searched, but she said that she must treat Tom to a big meal, but Tom doesn't need it that much. Of course, it's just because he hates Muggles and doesn't want to gather with them, and Mary understands I was moved a lot because Tom didn't want her to spend money.

She first went to Scotland Yard to sign Hugh's cremation agreement, then went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of materials, she used a lot of magic to clean up the apartment, she was not afraid of everything that happened here, since she was given a new life, she Just keep on chasing love.

Riddle arrived as promised, he was the first to smell the aroma of the cream of mushroom soup, and then he saw Mary pulling her reddish blonde hair into a bun and busying around in the small kitchen.

Why didn't she use magic to make food, and why did she carry so many Muggle habits?

He glanced sideways, and observed the apartment with only the two of them for the first time. He felt that the shabby place here was only a little better than an orphanage, and there was no magic atmosphere.

His expression was ridiculed and disdainful. People who haven't entered the wizarding world for a long time just can't do it, and become like Muggles.

This gave him an idea, and he admits he's a bit bored, too, so he can pass the time on vacation.

"Tom, come and taste it first!"

A soup spoon suddenly appeared in front of Riddle, he frowned slightly, and found that Mary was holding it high, and it almost hit the tip of his nose.The rich aroma of the creamy mushroom soup had already filled his nostrils, so he could only bite the bullet and take a sip.

"When I was in the army, my cooking skills improved a lot, really." She took a sip herself, "Ah, it seems that there is too much cream added."

"It's a bit greasy." Riddle agreed.

She went into the kitchen and worked for a while before bringing all the dishes up.It's a bit much for two people, but Mary said that this meal is much cheaper than her medical expenses, and it's worth it!

Riddle was eating the grilled steak slowly, and Mary was so anxious that she almost wanted to help him cut it and feed it to his mouth. Did she cook it particularly badly?So urgent!eat quickly!

Finally he put down the knife and fork under her eager gaze, and looked at her. She couldn't tell the meaning of his gaze, but it seemed to be guiding her.

He also looked a little taller than her when he was sitting. He was wearing simple and ordinary black clothes, but it made his face more beautiful. For some reason, this gave her a strange sense of oppression.

His legs were long and straight, taking up most of the space under the small round dining table. Mary's feet accidentally touched his leather shoes, and she retracted subconsciously.

When he opened his mouth, he looked relaxed and natural, as if he was only waiting for her to nod.

"Do you want to go back to Hogwarts, Mary."
