[HP] Tom next door to Mary

Mary would stay alone in the room except for the necessary labor every day. She always comforted herself that Mrs. White was not sure that she would bring her home at first, and it was possible for Julie as well, and Julie was only two years younger than her. , she doesn't have to be taken home...

But then she wondered if Mrs. White would have been happy to take her for a walk in the yard if Billy's rabbit hadn't been hanging there?It is also possible for her to have a home!

So what the hell is going on with Billy's rabbit, is it really Tom who made it as he said?

She glanced at the white wall next to her, no, it's impossible, because Tom and Billy quarreled one day and came back from the yard the next day.Besides, Mrs. Cole and Martha got up first, and she was the third to get up. There was no rabbit on the beam at that time, and she didn't see it when she served breakfast. Hang it up, it will definitely attract the attention of the children.

In this short period of time, the rabbit "runs to the beam by itself", which is too weird.

She pitied the rabbit for a minute, then returned to her own business, turned over from the bed, and met a pair of eyes—copper-yellow eyeballs with vertical pupils.This is of course not a human being, but a blue snake.

Mary shrank back a bit, and the snake spit out its letter, and when it wanted to continue to explore, Mary pinched its head quickly, opened the window, threw it out, and closed the window in one go.

"Mary, are you sure it's Mary?" She heard Mrs. Cole's voice coming out of the window, she was overjoyed, and quickly leaned on the window sill to look out. She almost thought that Mrs. White had made a new decision and came to adopt her ——Beside Mrs. Cole was a middle-aged man with thick, glossy grass-yellow hair and a ginger-colored moustache. He was holding something delicious in his hand.

"Yes, that's right, I'm not looking for anyone else, but her." When he spoke, his beard trembled with his movements.

"Mary, Mary! She's right there—" Mrs. Cole pointed to her window, which made her nervous again, and she pursed her lips and looked at the smiling gentleman.

Immediately, he was taken into Mrs. Cole's room by Mrs. Cole.

"Hello, Mary." He picked up the candied pineapple in the box and said, "Well, do you want to try it?"

Mary stretched out her hand in anticipation. She had never eaten candied fruit before. She quickly put it into her mouth, but she was reluctant to chew it, and slowly held it in her mouth. The gentleman in front of her continued to say: "I am Horace Slughorn Well, you can call me Professor Slughorn."

"professor?"

"Yes, that's right. I work at a school called Hogwarts. I've come to invite you to study at our school..."

"Reading!" Mary was taken aback. "Can I read! I mean, who gave me this chance? But Professor, I have learned simple spelling here, and if I have this chance, I must study hard—— Reading, is that true? You're not kidding me, are you?"

"Of course not, I will come to make this joke with you in person?" Slughorn had a good impression of Mary, she was very thirsty for knowledge, although she still didn't know what kind of school Hogwarts was .

"Then, when can I go?" Mary didn't ask what the school he was talking about at all, she felt that the goddess of luck was standing beside her again, "Professor, I don't have money, can I still go?"

"Of course, Hogwarts will provide young wizards like you with a sum of money to buy textbooks and school robes. There is no tuition fee." Slughorn took out a pocket and motioned for her to take it. It was full of shiny gold coins, Mary's eyes were straight, but she still kept a little calm.

"Wizard?!" Mary remembered what Martha said, "I'm not a wizard, so don't lock me up!"

"What? Off? You're a wizard. Don't you notice the differences between you and Muggles? I'm a wizard too, a wizard who teaches magic. Little wizards start school at the age of 11. Of course you don't want to go, and I don't either." Will barely..."

"I'd like to go—but—" Mary looked at Slughorn as if wondering whether he could be trusted. She didn't know what he meant by Muggles, but she had noticed her uniqueness. Different... This candied fruit is too sweet, too tempting, and she thinks she will never have this opportunity after she refuses, "I want to go, can you show me you say magic?"

Slughorn nodded, took out a small wooden stick and pointed at Mary's hair, her long hair rose and formed a bun of its own accord.

She was sure she wasn't crazy!It's all real!

"Can I have this too?" She looked longingly at his wand.

"Of course, here's your bibliography and school supply list, I can take you to Diagon Alley to get everything—"

"Okay, good professor! Are you leaving now? I can leave anytime!" Mary took the letter excitedly.She tugged at her skirt, delighted with the new identity she had just acquired, and Slughorn said something to Mrs. Cole before setting off with Mary.

This is definitely the most dreamy day for Mary in the past 11 years. She knows a lot of new terms and sees a world she never imagined. It turns out that she can receive these magical education like everyone else. It is true!She is not crazy!This washed away her troubles from the previous few days, and she became the happiest little girl in the world again.

When she returned to the orphanage, she still couldn't contain her excitement. She nodded to Slughorn, said Hogwarts and hurried back to her room, hiding all those things in her closet.She thought that she would take it out every once in a while to have a look.

When she walked out of the room again, a group of children had already surrounded the door.

"Mary, is there someone who wants to adopt you again? You are so lucky!" Little Amy clasped her hands together and prayed, "It would be great if someone likes me so much!"

"Just now Dennis said that you brought a lot of things in, can you let us have a look?" John chirped, walking forward subconsciously, but was stopped by Mary, "No, this is my secret!"

"I'm going to study, not to be adopted!" She proudly showed off, listening to the envious voice of "wow" from the children.

"Did you get paid for by that pedophile/pedophile? Then his vision is not very good." Riddle came in from the yard and said contemptuously.

"Don't talk nonsense, Tom!" Mary snapped back immediately, "He's a professor!"

"Professor? Come here to pick students, why?" Riddle felt extremely ridiculous.

"Because I'm amazing, I'm born different!"

"It's just you? Have you been cheated?" How could Mary be born different? He is the only one who is different. Mary's ordinary can no longer be ordinary!

Mary can leave the orphanage again!not him!Has no one felt his great ability?He is a hundred times stronger than Mary!No more!

"I don't." Mary found Tom annoying and didn't want to spoil the holy day with his sarcasm. She didn't want to bicker with him. Now she was going back to touch her robes, look through her spellbook, and wait. The arrival of September [-]st.

At the same time, she also found that when Riddle was talking to her, the children she loved to talk about suddenly shut up, as if they were even more respectful to him.

Forget it, it's none of her business, the little witch Mary is going to preview now!

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, Riddle stopped Mary and pulled her aside so that the children could not see the movement of his hands.

"Hey, this is it!" Mary looked at Tom in astonishment, "How could you have this!"

"Of course it's because I'm very good. How about it? Do you want to go?"

He held two bills in his hand, which Cole couldn't afford. Mary didn't know what Tom was thinking, but she still nodded.

"I don't know where Cole's gate key will be placed. You can bring it here, and I can give you one—don't look at me with that look, I got it by myself!"

"I want this...Tom." Mary lowered her head and reached out to touch the ticket, and was immediately slapped away by Riddle, "This is for exchange!"

"Mrs. Cole will keep the key with her, but I know that Martha has a spare one. She will keep it in the room. You can watch for me, and I will get it for you." Mary didn't have time to think, she looked at this Tonight's show at seven o'clock, Martha will be working in the kitchen during dinner, and now it's almost dinner time, she wants to make this deal quickly!

She went up to the third floor without stopping. Riddle, who was at the stairs, shook his head impatiently, signaling her to hurry up. Fortunately, the door was unlocked, which increased her chances of success. She quickly searched inside, but found nothing. , and then she heard "Tom, why are you here, don't you go to dinner?" Then there was a sound of stepping on the stairs quickly, and she knew that Martha was here and Tom had run away!

key!Show up now!

She was so frightened that she could only keep praying in her heart, and Martha got closer and closer, at this moment!A brass key flew into her face, nearly poking her nostril!

The key was stained with a little bit of her nosebleed, but she didn't care about anything else, she quickly opened the window and jumped onto the tree trunk outside the window, and slid down the trunk.

Escape again!This is her magic!amazing!She is amazing!

Instead of Martha yelling "Who came into my room and rummaged?!" on the third floor, she kept yelling, "Tom! Tom! I got it! I got it!"

She ran to the person who was waiting for her in the yard, reached out her hand and knocked on him, "Give me the ticket!"

Riddle pointed at her nose in distaste, and she didn't realize it. She rushed to the sink to rinse her face, washed her hands, and wiped her petticoat.

She didn't ask how Tom got the ticket, and she didn't know what he did these days. She watched him put the key in his trouser pocket with satisfaction, and signaled Mary to follow with his eyes.

This was also the first time for her to walk on the streets of London with Tom. The lights and lights of the streets made them look very small. She followed the veteran, shuttling through various alleys and alleys.

"You won't lie to me, will you?" Mary was a little suspicious, this is Tom Riddle after all!Can he get real tickets?Can you make this deal with her?After all, a spare key is not equivalent to a ticket to the Covent Garden Opera House!

"Then go back by yourself." Tom continued to turn left and right without turning his head.

Mary pouted, but followed.

Finally, they came to the gate of the Opera House, and ladies and gentlemen walked in one after another, which made the two of them shabby and out of place.

He took out the two tickets and handed them to the ticket inspector.

"You two?"

He nodded, but the ticket inspector was a person who watched people order food. He looked at the clothes of the two of them, and rolled his eyes, "Which gentleman's ticket did you steal, and which gentleman's ticket was lost?" Is it? Two!"

"I didn't steal!"

"Don't lie, you still bought it? Has anyone lost the ticket? Sirs and ladies! Check your wallets, beware of theft!" he shouted loudly and obsequiously, and Mary stepped forward to get the ticket back. Because someone had already started pointing at them, but the ticket inspector would not give it to them, Mary jumped up and grabbed the side of the ticket, the ticket was torn, and the ticket inspector pushed her on the ground at the same time.

In the next second, he suddenly started to bleed violently, and everyone's eyes were focused on his face. Mary thought it was her doing it, so she unconsciously panicked. At this moment, Riddle grabbed her hands and ran into the opera house.

Several guards chased after them, but the people who entered and exited the Covent Opera House were all rich people, and they didn't dare to make too much noise. Seeing that Mary was led into the performance hall by Tom, they could only be silent. search inside.

"Tom, where did you get this ticket?"

"You can't control it!"

He definitely stole it!

It's not that Mary doesn't believe Tom, it's because there is really no second possibility, but how did Tom steal the ticket?

They sprawled under the seats in the theater, and Mary wanted to solve the mystery, but she was immediately attracted by the opera being performed-albeit through the legs of these grown-ups.

When Brunhilde in armor handed the broken Norton sword to Sieglind, who fell in love with Siegmund and was pregnant, Tom snorted disdainfully, "Incest."

"It's love!" Mary stared at him.

Then, in order to punish Brunhilde for his rescue, Wotan exiled Brunhilde to the top of a mountain in the world. Only the brave and fearless person can save her through the raging fire, and he will be her. husband.

"It's really nonsense, this Valkyrie is also a fool, is this love? Just saved her?" Riddle was even more contemptuous, "Do you think it looks good?"

"How beautiful!" Mary thought in a completely different way from Tom. She covered her eyes when she saw the Valkyrie and Siegfer kissing each other. "Ah! They kissed!"

"It's disgusting."

The most unlucky little boy was beside him with a displeased face.

"Kissing isn't disgusting!" Mary said again. "You see he's nervous about her! That's love!"

"Oh." Riddle didn't understand, and didn't want to understand.

"Wow! The guard/guard is there, he seems to have seen us!" Mary pointed in a direction, and he saw a staff member in uniform squinting at them with a small flashlight, as if not sure if it was the two children.

"Let's go." Riddle elbowed Mary, took her to the side, and jumped out from a corner, trying to slip away through the back door of the performance hall. The guard/guard also followed, but their footsteps were fast. , and more flexible, don’t worry about those gentlemen and ladies, but immediately, several guards/guards chased them up, trying to block them on the road, Mary thought that if she used her magic power now, yes!She tried to get one man's flashlight out of his hand, but was unsuccessful. Instead, his hat flew first and hit the other man.

The performance was still going on, and some people had noticed the disturbance on their side, and protested quietly in dissatisfaction.

When a certain guard apologized, they ran out of the performance hall, and then more guards tried to catch them.

"Where did you come in, I want to settle accounts with your parents!" one of the guards/guards who got hit yelled.

Suddenly, more objects in the foyer swayed and fell on them, and they escaped narrowly from the opera house.

It was raining heavily outside, but it couldn't resist the joy in Mary's heart. She did a lot of things with her magic power today!She was so powerful just now - so many things must have been done by her!

Excitedly, she wiped the blood from her nose and continued to run until she could no longer see the Opera House. She hugged Riddle happily and kept saying thank you.

"This is the happiest day of my life!"

"Then you still have to go? Study?" Riddle asked blankly.

"Yes! I must go to study!"

"Did he tell you why you can go? How did you get selected?" Riddle continued to ask, he wanted to know so much, he gave her so many benefits, why should she go, if Mary can go , then he must be a higher class than her!

"I won't tell you." Mary muttered, how could I tell you this.

"You have to tell me!" Riddle clenched his fists. "You're lying, aren't you? You didn't go to study at all! No one chose you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about Tom! I'm not lying!" Mary blinked, and she hated it when she hated it?Unreasonable!

"Hmph! This is impossible!" Riddle said confidently, and he ran into the alley and disappeared.

It was still raining, so instead of chasing him, Mary went back to the orphanage.

Tom is so annoying!

She hates him so much!

But today's opera really made her happy, God, can Tom make other people happy after all?

It was late, and she flipped through her spellbook—though she couldn't understand it.She just heard the door of the room next door open. She struggled, but got up, took some bread from the kitchen, and opened Tom's room door carefully, "Tom, are you back?"

The boy ignored her and was completely soaked. He sat on the bed and the sheets were wet.

"You haven't had dinner yet. Mrs. Cole left some for us." She handed him the bread.

"Mary, will that person come again?"

"You mean Professor Slughorn? I think...I don't know." Mary didn't know, and she took Tom's other clothes from the closet and laid them on the bed.

"Mary, why on earth are you different?" Tom didn't move, still struggling with the question.

"You seem to have a fever, Tom?" Mary decided to keep it secret, not to reveal her magical world no matter what Tom asked.She touched his forehead to divert his attention, "I'll get you the medicine."

"Mary! Tell me! Tell the truth!" He grabbed her hand and refused to let her go, but because of her illness, Mary easily shook him off.

She had the key to Mrs. Cole's office, which she had obediently obtained, so she could quickly find the antipyretics, and she ran back to Tom's room, when he was lying on the bed.

Mary didn't have time to pour the water.She made him take off the medicine as much as possible, her delicate features twisted, she quickly took off Riddle's clothes and put on his pajamas.

After working for a long time, she sat by his bed, looked at him quietly, saw him open his eyes in a daze, and asked her questions relentlessly.

What's the matter with wanting to knock him out a little bit?

Muggle!

Mary was secretly relieved, thinking that Riddle was a little Muggle, and he couldn't go to school with him, but she still pretended to be concerned, go to sleep, I'm so anxious, I'm so worried, why don't you Just sick?

Riddle's eyes locked on hers, anger or something else, and he finally closed his eyes.

She watched cheerfully as she finally put him to sleep, hated it, but didn't leave, after all, she really wanted to take good care of him, the fever hadn't subsided, so she could only stay in his room.

When the first ray of sunlight came in in the morning, the cicadas had already begun to sing continuously.

The noisy Riddle woke up first, and he turned his head slightly to find that Mary was still lying on his bedside.

Xu was not fully awake, he didn't think about other things, but thought of yesterday's opera, what she explained to him, his eyes were heavy, and he decided to make a try.

He patted Mary on the head almost rudely, and watched her look up from her arms, dazed.

He leaned over and touched her lips lightly.

So disgusting.

The author has something to say: Tom really doesn't understand.

He was too impatient, and he had to think of any tricks. Why should only Mary be able to receive education?

Mary is in a really good mood, so don't care about his bullshit.

Mary thought Muggle Muggle Muggle Muggle Hahahahaha!

Who would have thought that the Dark Lord who made Xiao Er Ye cry would also be called a Muggle...

Also, Tom was not abused in the orphanage, and Benha respects the original work at the tenth level.
