[HP] The Elegance of the Night

In the simple History of Magic office, the only ghost professor in Hogwarts Castle is concentrating on correcting the test papers of the little wizards. The time is passing by with the ticking of the hands of the old-fashioned clock. Professor Binns will correct it Putting the test paper aside, looking at the remaining stack of parchment that was not too thick, he let out a dry, thin gasp.

Every year, he always saves the Gryffindor test papers until the end to correct. This is related to his pragmatic character. Throughout the thousand-year history of the wizarding world, everything that happened has been turned into cold words and recorded. Come down and become an indisputable and reliable fact.That's why Ravenclaw's truth-seeking suits him best. Every time he sees the long and well-organized papers of the kittens, it gives him a visual enjoyment.Even on time-limited exams, their answers are equally pleasing to the eye.

In Professor Binns's mind, Slytherin's test paper can be ranked second. Although the beautiful cursive characters of the little snakes dilute the rigorous atmosphere on the test paper, they can always point out the key to each historical event with a single hit , write your own unique insights.

Hufflepuff's little badgers always finish all the questions that can be filled in on the test paper, and then leave a section blank, which is why he puts Gryffindor at the end.The little lions are always enthusiastic to fill up the test papers, no matter how much they really know and remember.It is very distressing for Professor Binns to pick out the correct answer from a large paragraph of conjecture.

When grading Hermione Granger's test paper, the history of magic professor's brow creases relaxed a little. He had a good impression of this girl, she was a nice little girl, and next was Harry. Potter, the whole test paper is clean and tidy, and all correct, as good as ever.

The creases between Professor Binns' brows dissipated. After grading two high-quality test papers in a row, he had new expectations for the stack of parchment below.

Misuse of words, sentence does not make sense!Professor Binns glanced at the name on the test paper, Ellie Windsor, the correct rate was unexpectedly high, but the language of each question made him entangled.

If he hadn't had enough confidence in his ability to prevent students from cheating for many years, Professor Binns would almost have doubted the authenticity of the answer. After all, the finishers of the two high-quality test papers just now were sitting near her.

This is - the tip of his pen suddenly paused on the answer to the last question, and the ink smudged away.

"Miss Windsor." Standing in front of Hagrid's cabin, Igil called softly to the red-haired girl, who was apparently distracted. She seemed to be haggard after a night of absence. "Is there anything important you can only discuss with me?" Igil asked with a piece of note in his hand, which was sent to the Slytherin common room by a dun-spotted owl a few minutes ago Well, he didn't think that the girl who just came out of the medical wing could have anything serious, but the messy and hasty handwriting and helpless words on the toilet paper made him have to pay attention to it again.

"I..." The girl hesitated to speak and glanced at her side, and Igil followed her gaze and saw a handful of platinum-blond hair protruding from the gap in the bushes half a person's height not far away. "Draco!" Igil yelled, and the platinum-haired boy straightened up embarrassingly and rushed out from behind the bushes.

"I want to talk to you alone, Igil." Ellie's face darkened, "This matter is very important!" Although the words were addressed to Igil, the girl looked in Draco's direction.

"Okay, okay." The platinum-haired boy took a few steps back consciously. In fact, his roommate told him to go to the appointment alone before coming here, but how could he rest assured that Igil would be alone with Ellie? ·Windsor this nympho meet. "Igil, just now you said you were going to see Sirius in the medical wing, I'll wait for you there, it won't be too long, right?" Although he was speaking to Igil, Draco was staring at Ellie .

"It won't be long, soon..." The red-haired girl looked at Draco viciously, and there seemed to be a sizzle in the air, "Black, please come with me, I can only talk to you about that matter." Say." Ellie led Igil into the woods, turning her head to look behind from time to time.She had already planned everything when she wrote the letter, so Malfoy's presence didn't affect her too much.

Today, he will use Ellie's hand to get rid of Igil. In fact, he doesn't plan to keep anyone who can affect the direction of the world.Tom Riddle, who can already materialize, hates being attached to a female mudblood, and believes that the death of a young man and woman in the Forbidden Forest can leave countless associations for people.

The corner of the red-haired girl's mouth curled into an undetectable arc, and she followed the winding path deeper and deeper into the Forbidden Forest. At this moment, the sound of footsteps following behind her suddenly stopped.

"Just say it here," the boy behind remained vigilant, holding his thirteen-inch wand in his hand without letting go for a moment, "it will be dangerous to go any further, Miss Windsor." The boy's voice echoed his The appearance was equally bewitching, and Tom Riddle suddenly felt a bit of reluctance.This was the first person who made him feel strange emotions, and he always felt that there would be some regrets if he disappeared like this.But Tom Riddle quickly remembered what the purpose of this time was. Compared with the great cause he pursued all his life, sacrificing the life of a little wizard was insignificant.

"Igil," the red-haired girl turned around, her beautiful emerald green eyes looked at the boy from the Snake Yard who was opposite her, her eyes were vague, "I want to call you so, don't refuse me, because this is the last Once——" the girl's voice was slightly sentimental, "I have already planned to leave the magic world, and we will never see each other again."

"Why did you leave? Is it because of the annual injuries?" The boy's tone was as indifferent and arrogant as ever. Such an alienated tone was not good, and the girl's lowered eyes flashed a red light.If the boy could not be assured of his defenses, the magic power of Ellie Windsor, a Mudblood, would not be able to achieve a foolproof hit.

"It's not because of this," the girl shook her head slightly, "I plan to leave the magic world because I discovered a secret, a big secret that will affect the future of the entire magic world." She raised her head and stared at Igil's face, Ben I thought this sentence would make him mess up, but I was disappointed to notice that his expression was the same except for alienation.

"Oh, what kind of secret is it?" Igil stared at the girl. "Are you asking me to tell me?" After that fright, I knew how to restrain my emotions even more. "Why me and not Harry?" If Ellie Windsor's secret was about her father, he wouldn't mind giving her a permanent Amnesiac.

"This has something to do with you." The girl looked down from his face, and smiled as she noticed the wand in Igil's hand, which was gripped even more tightly.Almost cheated by him, this boy—he really is the same existence as Ellie Windsor.Ellie didn't test it out, but it doesn't mean he couldn't test it out either, this would reveal a flaw.

"Actually——I have always liked you, because only the two of us are special in this world. I am a time traveler like you, and I am familiar with the future direction of this world. Igil Black..." The killing intent in my heart became stronger , the more affectionate this sentence is.I like you very much, but you must die.When she felt that the boy on the opposite side was breathing messily because of her words, Ellie's lips moved silently, and Avada Kedavra - the most deadly spell among the three Unforgivable Curses - was activated at this moment...

The door of the medical wing was knocked open with a bang, and the people inside all focused their eyes on the panting person at the door because of the loud noise.

"Dumbledore, please keep the medical wing quiet!" Madam Pomfrey held down Sirius Black who was trying to get up, probably because the quality of the strong recovery potion brewed this time was so good that her patients all Energetic wanted to leave the hospital instead of staying for observation, "If I remember correctly, you just took the painkiller medicine for toothache from me three days ago."

"I'm here to see Harry, Bobby." Dumbledore's bright eyes swept across the room after seeing the safe boy sitting beside Sirius' bed, "Where is Ellie Windsor, when will she Leaving the medical wing?"

"What went wrong an hour ago?" Madam Pomfrey realized something when she saw Professor Binns following him.Ghosts rarely appear in the medical wing, because they can make patients extremely emotionally unstable, so even though the History of Magic classroom and the medical wing are on the second floor, Binns rarely passes by here, let alone come in directly.

"Does any of you know where Ellie Windsor went?" The ghost professor floated in directly from outside the stone wall. His gray translucent body turned into almost transparent white at this time, which is the ghost was frightened. A natural change after, "Listen, she's dangerous, she's been..."

"Let's talk about this later," Dumbledore interrupted Binns, "I have to find Ellie Windsor as soon as possible. Not only her, but everyone who comes into contact with her will be in danger now. This is no joke!"

Pa... There was a sudden sound of objects falling to the ground at the door.The half-covered door of the medical wing was pushed open, and a pale boy with platinum hair stood at the door, almost tripping over the beautifully wrapped gift box that fell on the ground.

"Igil——Igil is with her!" The platinum-haired boy covered his mouth.

"Tell me where they are!" Dumbledore, Harry, and Sirius asked the question almost simultaneously.

"Drowsy!" In the Forbidden Forest, Igil uttered a spell when the red-haired girl's lips opened and closed silently. He caught the unconscious girl, and the thing that was still calling the police in his pocket stunned him for a moment.

A wisp of smoke quietly gathered behind Igil, and the handsome boy in the old-style Slytherin school uniform showed his body, approaching him silently.

"Why do you want to attack me?" Igil leaned the girl against a thick tree trunk, his helpless sigh slowed down the movement behind him, and in an instant, the boy's clear eyes met Tom Riddle's . "——It's you." Igil gasped, he took a few steps back to distance himself from Tom Riddle, the indifference in his eyes was replaced by surprise, "The Horcrux is destroyed, you still exist !—you controlled Ellie Windsor?"

"You really are a time traveler, Igil Black." Tom Riddle snapped his fingers and summoned Ellie's wand into his hand, and looked at him unscrupulously, "Since you know the Horcrux, why do you have to change the plot again and again? Blake, you're smart and not a showman, what good is it doing you?"

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Igil tightened the wand in his hand, and looked at the 16-year-old Tom warily. "The time traveler, the plot, and knowing the future direction, I seem to have heard something very interesting."

"Now that we've reached this point, why bother to pretend." The wand in Tom Riddle's hand flipped a few extremely beautiful arcs. He was not afraid that Igil would take this opportunity to attack him. Even though the energy had materialized, Soul Piece still retained its own advantage, "You know that Ellie Windsor will break with you, so you always guard against her. She has been following the plot but you are destroying it. Let me guess what made you decide to change the direction of the future? It is because of your Father Sirius, or for your roommate Malfoy, do you want to change their fate?"

"Sirius is not my father!" Facing the nonsense of a Horcrux, Igil felt a headache. If Regulus heard this, he would definitely drive Tom out of the Black family's ancestral house .

"I didn't keep an eye on Miss Windsor all the time. The reason why I found out that she wanted to attack me was because of a small toy." Igil took out the pocket spyglass in his pocket-if anyone around has malicious intentions, it will Spinning brightly.

"I didn't expect it to be because of this kind of thing." The smile on Tom Riddle's face collapsed. He was actually exposed because of this small toy that is common in the wizarding world.

"It's been spinning non-stop since Windsor came into being, and it still is, you have malice against me, Tom Riddle." Igil looked at him with pity, making young Tom feel like a circus in the clown.

"We've wasted enough time," Tom Riddle showed ferocious fangs at this moment, "Igil Black, I'm here to kill you!" He looked at the wand raised high by the boy opposite him, and smiled Twist, "Magic doesn't work on me, farewell boy."

"It's you who should say goodbye!" Igil held his wand in the same posture, with no fear on his face.

"Stupid——" Tom Riddle's eyes flashed a bright red light, "Avada Kedavra!"

"Basilisk!"

And then...he saw a little green snake with bright yellow eyes on the boy's raised wand wrist.

This is the last scene he saw...

"Good job." Igil touched the pet on his wrist. His father had the foresight to let him keep Baslisk, a big eater. He probably didn't expect such a day to come. 16-year-old Tom had the eyes of a basilisk on his face. Instead of petrifying or dying like a human, he was black and smoky, resembling the hapless ghost of last year.Igil just stared at the remains of his artistic father(?) for a few seconds, and his face was covered with black lines.

"This state should only be temporary. Only by finding the real horcrux can it be completely eliminated." After some research, Igil found that he still had a lot to do. Since Miss Windsor was controlled, she must have been in contact with the real horcrux. .Maybe this thing is on her body, "Legiliency or Veritaserum? I hope Miss Windsor can cooperate voluntarily." Igil seemed to hear an embarrassing cough while muttering to himself.

"Who!" he cried, the pocket looking glass not turning this time.

"Igil—it's us..." Draco's familiar voice sounded weakly.

"We...?" Yigil suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.In his expression covered in black lines, a large group of people also covered in black lines lifted the invisibility spell and appeared not far from him.

Draco, the Gryffindor trio, Lupine, Sirius, Madam Pomfrey, Professor Binns and -- Dumbledore.

"..." It's over now.
