[HP] The Elegance of the Night

"Mr. Black, Riddle attacked Black because..." Ellie frowned, and swallowed with difficulty, "Because Riddle fell in love with him."

Ellie's words made the entire principal's room suddenly silent, and even the portraits hanging on the wall stopped whispering and became no different from ordinary portraits.

"Hey...do you know what you're talking about!" When the others were silent, Sirius laughed twice, this young lion was more honest than others, "Are you kidding me? ...Or am I having auditory hallucinations?" Why did he hear such a ridiculous reason?

"I'm not kidding!" Ellie yelled with humiliation on her face, "Riddle fell in love with Black, he cared about him, and confessed to him, but Black rejected him, and even got close to the savior, like Hermione... ...That kind of witches are friends, that's why Riddle became angry, and if he can't get it, kill him!" Thanks to the romance novel that she held in her hand almost every day before crossing, she made up a reasonable book in such a short period of time. In order to protect the secrets of the notes from being leaked, Igil Black, please forgive me!

"It's ridiculous! You said that the mysterious man fell in love with my...my...Igil," Sirius didn't want to reveal his relationship with Igil's uncle and nephew, so he said this very misleading sentence. It's like Igil is his child, "I can't accept this reason!" How can such a reason be accepted!

Dumbledore looked at Ellie, and he believed it somewhat in his heart. A 13-year-old girl can't say such things unless someone teaches her. Life in the wizarding world is very traditional, and there is not much love. Reading materials, so the leader of the Baidao Tao did not know what dog blood was. He just vaguely felt that this reason convinced him, but this alone was not enough. There must be deeper reasons waiting for him to dig.The more frankly the girl told the whole story, the more Dumbledore felt that there was an even more unacceptable truth hidden behind the incident. This is the experience he has lived for most of his life. Come, it will be easier for him to trust her.

"My dear..." Regulus looked at his lover, his knife-like eyes pierced into his black cloak as if they were real, and pierced him hard.

"Cough!" The tall man under the cloak cleared his throat because of Regulus' gloomy and dangerous tone, and defended himself, "If it were me, I would find ways to get what I like instead of destroying it. .I think that compared to ordinary people, the Dark Lord has enough confidence and strength to get whatever he wants. Girl, you can't be trusted by your one-sided words. How can you have the heart to hurt someone if you really love someone? At this time, he did not forget to express his feelings to Regulus, it was really hopeless.

"Ellie, is that so?" Dumbledore asked, feeling that familiarity again when the tall man spoke.Sirius looked at his sister-in-law(?) happily. He was really happy for Regulus.

"I'm telling the truth, you have to believe me!" Ellie's eyes flashed with panic, she is not a good liar, she told a big lie, her heart almost jumped into her throat, "... What Del says he can’t get, he is willing to destroy...I...I have evidence!" The sudden quick wit made Ellie remember that there was something that could be used as evidence in court, and she calmed down.

What she took out as evidence was a snow-white handkerchief with the Black family crest embroidered on one corner.

"This is mine, why is it in your hands?" Igil didn't remember throwing such a handkerchief, but he recognized the totem of the Black family on it, and he was the only one who used this symbol in school.

"Riddle stole it from Hermione," Ellie explained, "you have to believe me, if he doesn't like Black, why would he steal it!"

Snapped!The armchair Regulus was sitting on let out a groan, and a crack appeared in the solid wooden armrest. "My dear, the chairs at Hogwarts are not as sturdy as our own." Regulus said, gazing at his outstretched hand, which a few seconds ago had rested on the wooden armrest.

Just now, he didn't notice his magic power for a while, and went berserk.

"Honey, I don't know the quality of Hogwarts chairs, but you have to trust the chairs at home, they are as good as you imagined, they are strong and durable." The tall man snapped his fingers, and the cracks on the wooden armrests Disappeared, this is a silent "return to the original".

"Really? It's hard to believe..." Regulus continued to look at his outstretched hand, clenched it tightly into a fist.

"Don't compare the old Hogwarts chairs with the ones at home, you have to believe that the chairs are innocent," said Tom Slytherin. Can't make it through?

"..." Even though he knew what his two fathers were talking about, Igil still had the urge to hit the wall with the idea of ​​raising elves. These two don't care about it at home, and they don't know how to restrain themselves when they come out. That is, a strong and durable chair?Please, don't say that in front of him, he's only 13.

"Mr. Black, I am sorry for the chairs in my office." Dumbledore habitually put his fingers together, and said sincerely, "Actually, they are usually very strong."

"..." Black's family of three with black lines all over their faces. (The author is messy in the wind)

"Compared with this absurd reason, I want to hear the truth, girl." After appeasing Regulus's rampage, Tom Slytherin felt that he could not be forced to defend, and let the time-traveling girl continue, Maybe he would have the chance to sleep on that big bed in Regulus' room tonight.

"I don't think the Dark Lord would take much interest in someone he has barely had contact with. Girl, you are a Gryffindor, a memory attached to your notes. Even if you appreciate Igil's excellence, how can you appreciate it? To the point where he must be killed? What purpose do you have in destroying the reputation of the Black family!"

"No, please believe me!" Ellie didn't expect to be strongly questioned after presenting the evidence, "What I said is true, Riddle's memory was only attached to my notes this year, last year he Still on a diary, that diary belongs to Ginny, she's a Slytherin!"

"Ellie Windsor, I already learned from Igil about last year that the diary left by the Dark Lord 50 years ago is a dark magic item, what about yours?" Tom Slytherin's mouth swayed under the cloak With a graceful arc, "I tore up your note just now. It is not a black magic item, it doesn't even have any magic power, but it can become a carrier of memory. Why is that? What are you hiding?"

"I... I don't know why you think so!" Tears of grievance rolled in the girl's eyes, and her beautiful green eyes were also covered with mist, "When Harry destroyed the diary last year, I was also in the Chamber of Secrets, and maybe he chose my notes instead of the original diary—I was just unlucky enough to have something like this with me all the time."

"Have you carried your notes with you at any time before you were possessed?" Even Dumbledore chewed something wrong. He summoned the magic ball that was suspended in mid-air and stored the shredded paper pages in front of him, and took out the magic ball from it. He took out a piece of shredded paper full of words and observed it carefully.The dense handwriting on the page is not English, but words with an ancient oriental charm. It is already very incongruous for Ellie to appear on such a thing, let alone carry it at any time.Presumably the symbols on these pages are what make a bland notebook comparable to a dark magic item.This can explain why the sword he pierced did not cause damage to the Horcrux-he had been in the wrong direction from the beginning, and the carrier of Voldemort's memory was not the notes, but the words on the notes.

"Ellie," Dumbledore deservedly lived most of his life, and he had already figured out the whole thing in an instant, "I can see that this notebook is very important to you. If you need it, I can send it to you." It's fixed," this sentence is to warn the girl that the note can be recovered, "but before that, excuse me for making an unreasonable request, can you tell me what is written on it? Being in you has a lot to do with it, and we have to figure it out so it doesn't happen again."

"Professor Dumbledore! The notebook has been destroyed, and Riddle has disappeared!" Ellie closed her eyes wearily, her body trembling uncontrollably. Others' sympathy, "Please don't ask again, I don't want to recall painful memories, do you know that besides wanting to kill Black, Riddle also wants to kill me, because I know too much!"

Dumbledore sighed deeply, he couldn't bear such a girl, what kind of secret was hidden in her?Before the truth was revealed, he could give the girl a little time to breathe, but the time would not be too long.

"Igil, can you tell me how Voldemort attacked you?" Dumbledore shifted the topic to Igil, maybe he could find some clues from the process of the boy being attacked.

"Okay, Professor Dumbledore," Igil said cooperatively, "Miss Windsor led me into the Forbidden Forest this morning, and the pocket looking glass in my pocket keeps turning, so pay attention to her, before she attacks I stunned her, and then Voldemort appeared in front of me," Igil shrugged, "When you came, he was about to cast a spell on me, but my basilisk got ahead of me."

"Can you be more specific?" Dumbledore frowned. Anyone who has been to the scene can guess the scene at that time. The boy did not cooperate on the surface. "How did Voldemort appear at that time? Did he tell you something?" What?"

"This is not a good memory, sir." Igil looked at Ellie complicatedly, at this time the tall man in the cloak spoke again: "Igil, this is related to the reputation of our Black family, be brave, Tell what you know." Tom Slytherin emphasized the words "We the Blacks," letting Igil know what his father was planning.This is a signal to him, because what the red-eyed man usually taboos the most is that the portraits ask him when he will marry into Black's house all day long.

"Voldemort said some strange things, I don't understand very well." After receiving his father's instructions, Igil answered obediently. He paused here, and then continued after his father nodded to him, "Voldemort said Ellie and I are both time-travelers, and we are familiar with the future direction of this world. I don't quite understand what it means to be a time-traveler—he also said that Ellie has been following the plot, but I am destroying it, so he wants to kill me. "When Igil finished speaking, the red-haired girl beside her turned pale.

"Can you tell me what a time traveler is, Ellie?" Dumbledore's bright blue eyes showed a sharp light.
