[HP] Riddle's Spirit Behind

Long, long ago, there was a very dilapidated little house on the edge of a forest.The owner of the little house is Mrs. Cole, who has adopted seven children, each of whom is an orphan who has lost both parents.

One of them was a very cute boy, with beautiful black eyes and glossy black hair.He is smarter than the other children, but he often gives Mrs. Cole a headache.He always ran out to play without authorization, and always scared other children to cry on purpose.

In the spring, Mrs. Cole knitted a yellow hat for each of the children, but in the middle of knitting she ran out of yellow wool.So she had to knit a last hat with red wool.None of the other children wanted the red one, so Mrs. Cole had to give it to the black-haired boy.

Boys like the red hat very much, because it can distinguish him from other children.He wears it almost every day, so people in the nearby villages call him Little Red Riding Hood.

One morning, Mrs. Cole asked Little Red Riding Hood to deliver apples and cheese to the Duke who lived in Hogwarts Castle.Hogwarts Castle is on top of the hill at the end of the forest.

Little Red Riding Hood gladly accepted Mrs. Cole's request, because at last he had a chance to play in the forest by himself.

Mrs. Cole told him anxiously, asking him to go back quickly and not to stay in the forest.Because it is said that there is an evil witch living in the forest, and that witch likes to catch children to make potions.

But Little Red Riding Hood would not listen to her.He was not afraid of witches at all, but wanted to see what a witch looked like.So he took a detour on purpose, picking wild flowers on the side of the road, humming a song and walking on the path.

Not long after, he heard a sound of horseshoes behind him.He turned his head and saw a hunter with a bow and arrow on his back dismounting and walking towards him.

"Why are you here alone?" the hunter smiled and said to him, "Where are your parents?"

"I have no parents," answered Little Red Riding Hood. "I am going to the Wicked Witch in the Forest. Have you seen her?"

"Oh, I haven't seen her for a long time." The hunter frowned, with a puzzled expression on his handsome face, "Why are you looking for her, child?"

"Because I want to see if she is as ugly as in the legend." Little Red Riding Hood said bluntly.

"Oh!" The hunter had a sudden realization expression on his face, he bent down and pinched Little Red Riding Hood's fair face kindly, "Then I wish you good luck, child."

The hunter got on the horse neatly and handsomely, and then left Little Red Riding Hood's sight with a "da da da".

So, Little Red Riding Hood continued his adventure.

Finally, he went to the depths of the forest and came to a small and lovely wooden house.Mouth-watering food aromas waft from the cabin.

"This must be the witch's house," said Little Red Riding Hood to herself.

He walked over and knocked on the door of the wooden house, and soon, a young girl's voice said, "Who is it?"

"I am Little Red Riding Hood," he said, "and I have come to visit the witch in the forest."

"I don't know you," said the voice.

"I brought delicious cheese and a big red apple," said Little Red Riding Hood.

Soon, the door opened.A beautiful woman with long black hair and emerald green eyes appeared at the door.

She looked at Little Red Riding Hood curiously, "Where are you from, the boy in the red hat?"

"I come from the other end of the forest," he said.

"What's your name?" she asked again.

"Everyone calls me Little Red Riding Hood," replied Little Red Riding Hood.He has been looking at each other up and down, can not help but secretly feel very disappointed.Because she looks too ordinary, neither a terrible aquiline nose, nor withered fingers.She looks like an ordinary woman.

"Are you a wicked witch?" Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I am the witch in the forest." She said with a smile, "but I am not evil."

Little Red Riding Hood hesitated for a moment before saying, "They say you can use children to make potions."

"Oh, my God," the witch clutched her chest, "how could I do such a thing?! My favorite is a cute child."

As she spoke, she made an inviting gesture, "Come in, cute little red riding hood."

Then they had a hearty breakfast, eating up all the cheese and apples in the basket.

Little Red Riding Hood suddenly remembered the real purpose of her trip.He looked at the empty basket worriedly, "These foods are to be sent to the Duke of the castle. What should I do now?"

The witch also showed a worried look, "My God, why didn't you say so sooner! We would have left an apple for that venerable duke if we had known."

As she spoke, she snapped her fingers suddenly, "By the way, I can use magic to conjure apples! Then you can do business!"

"Really?" exclaimed Little Red Riding Hood in surprise.

Afterwards, the witch worked on her alchemy table for a while.A puff of green smoke "popped" from the cauldron.She reached out and took out the red apple covered in green slime in the cauldron.

"Look!" she said happily, "I've successfully made an apple!"

Little Red Riding Hood stared at the apple, always feeling that the person who ate it would definitely fall down and die immediately.

"Is this really edible?" he asked.

"Don't worry!" the witch laughed, "This is definitely the most delicious apple the Duke has ever eaten!"

Little Red Riding Hood took the apple suspiciously, and wiped off the liquid in disgust.He put the apples into the basket, left the cabin and started on the way to the castle.

The witch watched Little Red Riding Hood leave, and suddenly showed an evil and ferocious smile.

"Damn duke, it's time for my revenge!" she said viciously.

Little Red Riding Hood walked for a long time, and finally came to the gate of the castle.He knocked on the door, and it took a long time for the Duke's servant Avery to open it with a yawn.

"Who are you?" The servant stared at Little Red Riding Hood suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"

The servant mowed the yard all night yesterday and suffered from severe sleep deprivation, so he is now full of resentment for waking his Little Red Riding Hood.

"I'm here to deliver apples to His Excellency the Duke," said Little Red Riding Hood.

Servant Avery snatched the basket from Little Red Riding Hood's hand, "All right, all right, you can go back. I will give this basket to the Duke."

After he finished speaking, he closed the door with a bang.

Little Red Riding Hood didn't trust the servant at all, so he leaned over the door and listened to the voices inside.

He heard the servant say to himself, "I just haven't had my breakfast yet. This apple looks delicious, so I'm sorry!"

The cheated Little Red Riding Hood was very angry.He absolutely could not tolerate such shameful behavior, so he knocked on the door hard.

"Open the door!" he called commandingly.

But he knocked for a long time but no one opened the door.

Just when Little Red Riding Hood was about to leave in despair, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Abraxas, the earl's butler who opened the door, looked at Little Red Riding Hood seriously, "Did you bring the apple just now?"

"It's me," replied Little Red Riding Hood, "but I was eaten by that greedy servant just now!"

"He died after eating a bite of the apple," said the butler, frowning.

Little Red Riding Hood opened her eyes wide in surprise, "I didn't put poison in the apple!"

The steward ordered the soldiers to arrest Little Red Riding Hood.

"It's the witch!" cried Little Red Riding Hood angrily, "it's the witch who poisoned her!"

But no one believed his words.

When Little Red Riding Hood was arrested, the witch Eleanor was secretly watching them not far away.

She didn't hear their conversation clearly, and thought it was the Duke who fell after eating the apple.So she went home happily.

Little Red Riding Hood was brought before the Duke by the guards.

The moment she saw the Duke, Little Red Riding Hood showed a surprised expression.

"It turned out to be you!" he shouted, "You are the hunter just now!"

His Excellency the Duke is sitting on a chair in a noble and elegant posture.A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Yes. I am both the Duke and the best hunter in this forest."

"I didn't poison you!" explained Little Red Riding Hood. "That apple was given to me by the witch in the forest!"

"The witch in the forest?" The Duke suddenly showed a sad expression on his face, "So she was the one who wanted to kill me."

Seeing that the Duke believed him, Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help taking off his red hat, raised his head and said, "Yes, my lord, you must punish the witch who framed me!"

The moment he saw Little Red Riding Hood clearly, His Excellency the Duke showed a shocked expression.

"Come here, boy..." he said, "tell me, what's your name?"

"Everyone calls me Little Red Riding Hood," he said, "but my real name is Tim."

"Oh, yes, Tim!" His Excellency sat up from his chair happily. "The name is embroidered on the inside of your swaddle with silver and green silk thread, isn't it?"

Little Red Riding Hood tilted her head in confusion, "Yes, how do you know?"

The Duke strode over and hugged Little Red Riding Hood, "Tim! That's her adoptive father's name! That's right, you are my son!"

Little Red Riding Hood was strangled, and he stammered, "What are you talking about, Your Excellency the Duke?"

The Duke picked up little Tim and said with a happy smile, "Let's go, dear Tim! We'll go find your mother right away!"

They mounted their horses and galloped all the way to the cabin.

"Dear Eleanor!" The Duke said towards the door, "Are you still angry with me? Look, I have found our lost son!"

"Oh, don't lie to me! Poor Tom! I will never forgive you!" came Eleanor's voice from within. "You lost our son while hunting! He never I can't find it!"

But when she saw Little Red Riding Hood in Tom's arms, her eyes widened in shock.

"Oh, he looks exactly like you!" said Eleanor in surprise. "Is he really our son?"

The Duke took the opportunity to pull his wife over, planted a kiss on her forehead, and said softly, "Don't run away from home again next time, okay?"

Eleanor blushed and turned her head away, then she hugged her son and kissed Little Red Riding Hood several times on the cheek, "I will never let go this time!"

Finally, the three of them happily returned to the castle.So, Little Red Riding Hood found her parents, and the Duke also found his wife who had run away from home.

The three began to live happily in the castle.It's really gratifying.

Also, that poor servant, Avery, was still in a coma.

The duchess told everyone not to worry, as long as someone who really loved him kissed him on the lips, he would wake up from his sleep.Don't know who will be that person?
