[HP] Riddle's Spirit Behind

Tom could feel the ghost's anger.

The ghost hadn't spoken to him since his last trip from Hogsmeade.She would still come to chat with Avery from time to time, but every time she would treat Tom as air, and would not even look at him.

To be honest, Tom couldn't understand what was going on with her.He didn't think there was anything worth her anger about that weekend incident.This somewhat made him feel a little annoyed, or annoyed, as if he had been splashed with cold water for no reason.

"What are you thinking, Tom?" Cloris' voice brought him back to reality.He looked up at the girl, who was cocking her little finger and rubbing her nails with a delicate knife, even though they were smooth enough.

— hopelessly stupid.He suddenly remembered this sentence, who said it?

In any case, this evaluation is extremely accurate.

He raised his eyes and looked around at the "friends" who were discussing the holidays around him, and sneered secretly.Each of them is stupid and arrogant, and they are all very snobby.But because of this, they are better controlled than ordinary people - as long as you find out what they want, they will become your most loyal followers.

"I'm thinking about tomorrow's exam," said Tom.

"Are you worried about exams, too?" interrupted Knott, a fat boy with freckles. "You'll easily get first in your class every time!"

Tom just smiled and said nothing.

"That's nothing special," said Lestrange. "He's a Parseltongue. What can't he do?"

Tom knew very well that Lestrange hadn't really meant to compliment him when he said that.Just like the other boys, they are very friendly to Tom on the surface, but secretly they are somewhat jealous of him.Especially Lestrange, who was the proudest of the boys.Tom was always vaguely aware of his hostility.

But Tom didn't care a bit, because he didn't want to be really friends with these people.He was sure others thought so too.They are just a relationship of mutual use.

He gathered these people purposefully, he chose them, and they didn't know it at all.

Most of them are children from ancient pure-blood wizarding families, and many of their parents are well-known in the wizarding world. Another thing they have in common is that their families are very, very rich.This created a wonderful illusion for the other students, that is, only the ladies and gentlemen of the upper circle can join Tom's small group.As a result, more students with high vanity began to want to join them.

It took Tom a lot of work to get them to think of him as the leader of the group.He advises them on chores, lends them copies of papers, tells them the secrets of passing exams, and occasionally shows off the special abilities brought about by his "noble blood".

He gradually learned to hide his true thoughts behind his back and only let them see his perfect side.

In fact, he has been planning these things since the second grade, and it wasn't until this school year that he gradually started to put them into action.To this day, these people still envy him, but he is very satisfied that no one dares to question his authority.

Almost everything has been going very well for this period of time.

After learning that Cloris' uncle is Carl Travis, an expert in spirituality, he began to change his attitude towards Cloris, and then successfully got the opportunity to meet Travis.

If Cloures hadn't accidentally mentioned that her uncle had always wanted to study the ghosts of Hogwarts, Tom would never have thought of inviting Eleanor.Just when he was hesitant to invite her, he saw Eleanor reading a book with Avery in the library.

They sat facing each other and seemed to be talking about something.He suddenly remembered that during this time, the two seemed to be closer than before.

Thinking of this, some kind of strange power drove him to walk over, and sat directly beside the ghost.After sitting down, he suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say to them.So he pretended to be calm and flipped through the book.

He could clearly feel the ghost's angry stare, but he couldn't remember the reason for her anger at all.

——Wait, his memory suddenly returned to last night.

She seemed annoyed by one of his words at the time.And he quickly put that matter behind him after saying that sentence.

Women are narrow-minded.He thought to himself with a sneer.

So at last he said the words that had invited her, and was satisfied to see her surprised and excited expression.He had never seen a person who showed his emotions so easily on his face.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as smoothly as he planned.That stupid woman, Cloris, forgot to tell him such an important thing!

He was very angry.He actually wasted a whole morning on this idiot, just to go shopping with them and buy candies!

Of course he knew why Cloris was close to him.Every time she looked at him, it was as if she wanted to eat him alive.It simply disgusted him.If it wasn't for her uncle, he would never have let her join their group.

That's why he doesn't want to deal with girls, they're just a bunch of vain, stupid creatures who can always judge things by their appearance.

And most of them are very narrow-minded, you never know what is the reason for their anger.Tom thought irritably.

Cloris started complaining about his weight, and Nott started talking about his distant uncle who was the Minister of Magic in France.

He pretended to be listening carefully, nodding his head now and then in agreement, but he didn't catch a word.He looked over Nott's shoulder, and the focus unconsciously fell on the front not far away.

The ghost was turning his back to him, talking happily with Avery and the others.She seemed to say something ridiculous, and the three of them started laughing together, Avery even cried.

Soon, Avery seemed to notice Tom's sight, he opened his eyes slightly, and looked at Tom for a few seconds.Tom averted his gaze immediately, and stood up from his chair.

"Where are you going?" Cloris said to him.

"It's none of your business," said Tom dryly.Cloris' smile froze instantly.

Tom walked towards the exit of the common room without looking back, but he was not at all worried that he would offend the people by doing so.The only thing he worries about now is himself.He had to go for a walk, clear his head, and get those messy things out of his mind.
