[HP] Riddle's Spirit Behind

Cloris looked uneasily at the dark-haired boy sitting across from her.After he sat down, the whole round table fell into a kind of crushing tension.

"I've said it, and I've said it twice." The boy gently clasped the table with his knuckles, and almost everyone could feel his faint anger that was about to explode, "No one is allowed on the table without my consent." To use the magic we learned in private in front of others."

"I'm sorry, Tom, I forgot," a blond boy whispered hastily, "I just wanted to teach that pompous Gryffindor a lesson for calling me a maggot-infested idiot—"

Tom raised his eyebrows and interrupted him coldly, "I think he's right. I should engrave all the rules on your arm next time, so you can remember one or two of them."

"What's the matter with you today, Tom? Are you so angry?" Lestrange said suddenly.

Tom turned his head and stared at Lestrange coldly, "I'm the one talking now, and I don't remember when I allowed you to interject, Mr. Lestrange."

Lestrange couldn't help shivering secretly, and at the same time reminded himself that there was no need to be afraid of him, because Tom was just an ordinary student just like everyone else.Lestrange couldn't believe what he could do to himself.

"Don't get so excited, Tom," said Lestrange, pretending to be calm. "We didn't get together today to quarrel."

"Arguing?" Tom sneered. "Of course we don't quarrel. We are friends who share a secret." As he spoke, he began to look around, and everyone he saw stiffened a little.

"Maybe some of you have forgotten why we got together in the first place." Tom said slowly, "I thought we had reached a consensus, that is, those who don't follow my command will end up with their own consequences. Just look at Carlo, he's a great example."

Hearing Carlo's name, Lestrange's heart skipped a beat.He didn't tell anyone about the plan he used to deal with Eleanor last time except Carlo and Cloris.He wondered how much Tom knew about that.

"Carol acted on his own initiative and did some very impulsive and stupid things." Tom said coldly, "If the professors find out about those things, the only thing waiting for him is to be expelled, or even enter Azkaban."

He said, his eyes glanced at Lestrange nonchalantly, "I know some of you are his accomplices, and even encouraged him to do certain things. But I'm not as easy to deceive as Carlo, and I Never show mercy to an enemy..."

Lestrange secretly clenched his fists.

"Okay, come on," he thought, "I want to see how far you can go." Thinking of this, he let out a short sneer.

"What do you want to say, Zachary?" Tom said, staring at Lestrange.

"No, there's nothing to say." Lestrange replied hastily.

"I know what you want to say. Say it," Tom said with a sneer.

Everyone turned to look at Lestrange, which made him move his butt uncomfortably.

"I know you've been upset with me, and now you can say it all." Tom was fiddling with the glass with one hand while staring at him coldly from above his eyes.

Lestrange felt again that Tom was a little different today.

In the past, they often had some disagreements, but Tom had never been deliberately provocative in front of everyone like this.

"I think you are prejudiced against me." Lestrange said suddenly, "You always like to refute my opinions, and recently you always pretend to ignore me."

Tom snorted. "Oh, did you? I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, Miss Lestrange."

The others suddenly laughed softly.

Lestrange suddenly felt his cheeks burn.He glared at Tom, thinking maybe it was time for a showdown.

"Well, I'm questioning your authority, Tom," Lestrange said. "I don't always think you're qualified to lead us."

Tom suddenly laughed.The smile made Lestrange feel very uncomfortable.

"You've finally told the truth, Lestrange," said Tom, calling him by his last name this time. "Go on and say what you want to say."

Lestrange gritted his teeth, "You are just a student just like us. Apart from being able to speak Parseltongue, I don't see anything special about you. Besides, you are only a fourth grader. There is a prefect among us, and two fifth-year students. I think we are more qualified to be leaders of this group than you are."

"You're right. But it's a pity that the prefect is lying in St. Mungo's Hospital now, and he can't even recognize his own mother." Tom said with one hand on his chin, his eyes turned to Nott, " Nott, you are in the fifth grade, do you want to be our leader?"

Nott immediately shook his head, "Of course not."

"Then there's only you left, Lestrange," said Tom softly. "What you really mean is that you're more qualified than I am, don't you?"

Lestrange looked at Tom hesitantly, not sure what the other party was up to.

In the end Lestrange flinched, he was not used to bumping into people face to face like this.He was more of a schemer than a foolish fighter, accustomed to operating in the shadows.So he said, "No, of course not."

Tom fell silent suddenly.He lowered his head and fiddled with the cup in front of him. Everyone looked at each other, unable to figure out what he was thinking right now.

"You are very smart, Zachary." Tom looked up and said calmly, "Then I hope you will abide by our rules more in the future, which is also for your own good."

"Of course." Lestrange said quickly.

After returning from the Pig's Head Bar, Tom went straight back to his bedroom.

Today he almost screwed up.He showed his true emotions in front of the group.But his heart was full of lingering anger, and all he wanted to do was take it out on Lestrange.

"Let him get out, get out on his knees begging for mercy." This voice kept echoing in his mind.Lestrange is a disgusting, self-important, blind bastard who repeatedly challenges his patience.

But Tom's reason told himself that it was not time to break with him completely.It will take him a while to squeeze out all the available areas in him.

In today's wizarding world, there are not many prestigious wizarding pure-blood families, and the Lestrange family is one of them.

If Tom was really going to consider a career at the Ministry in the future, he would need the support of the Lestrange family.Although it is obviously impossible to be friends with Lestrange, there is no need to become enemies with him now.

Tom sat impatiently on the sofa thinking about these things.

But Lestrange always disliked Eleanor, last time he actually came up with such a cheap way to deal with Eleanor.Whenever Tom thought of that, he had the urge to chop Lestrange into pieces.

Yes, Eleanor again.

Every time something gets involved with her, things get out of hand.

The same is true today.Eleanor's rejection of Tom's invitation turned out to be a date with Avery, which Tom hadn't expected at all.

She lied to him.She said she wasn't free on Saturdays, but she was actually going out with other people.

Tom felt that he had never been betrayed and humiliated like this in his life, and the anger that had been suppressed not long ago came to his heart again.

He took a deep breath to keep himself calm.

When he decided to kiss the girl, he knew he was going to be in a big trouble.

Before that, he never thought it was impossible for him to fall in love, because he didn't want to waste time and energy on that kind of thing.

But after taking Lestrange's crude love potion, he found himself unable to pull himself out of a strange quagmire.

He even suspected that the love potion was still in his body.But he knew that was impossible.The effect of the Rejuvenation Charm completely counteracts the effect of the love potion, because only adults can be affected by the love potion.

Every time he saw that girl, he had to force himself not to imagine kissing her, possessing her.The damn sex.crash made him want a girl's body like a stupid teenage boy.

In the afternoon when she fell asleep in front of the library window, he tried to kiss her cheek.Originally, he just wanted to let himself know the difference between fantasy and reality, but that afternoon became a memory that he couldn't get rid of from his mind.

That night, when he saw Carlo pressing down on Eleanor, lifting her skirts, he found his emotions flooding out like a flood that had suddenly opened its gates.

He couldn't accept someone else taking that girl in his place, because they didn't know her at all.In the whole school, no one spent so long with Eleanor as he did.

He knew her every little habit as she knew his, because he had spent countless nights talking and falling asleep with her.

She was destined to belong to him from the very beginning, and some kind of power in the dark pulled her soul, and tied their fate firmly together.

Tom has never believed in fate, but now he deeply feels that maybe some things are really pre-determined, even if you want to escape, it won't help.

But he couldn't forgive Eleanor now.She cheated on him, it was true.

The thing Tom hates the most is betrayal and deceit, and when it's Eleanor who does it, things get even worse.

He needs to let her know the consequences of doing so.he thought to himself.

Since returning from Hogsmeade last time, Eleanor was in a terrible mood.

She screwed up everything.She'd foolishly hurt Avery's feelings, and had Tom witness it.

"I'm sorry, Avery." She apologized softly, watching Avery's back.

"You didn't go well last time?" Abraxas said as he walked beside Eleanor.

Eleanor shook her head silently.

"Did you not accept him, or was he too stupid to say anything clearly?" Abraxas said.

Eleanor looked at Abraxas in a little surprise. "What? Oh, it was me—" she said dejectedly. "It's all my fault. I turned him down, and he must hate me now."

"Why did you reject him?" Abraxas suddenly became agitated, "Don't you like him?"

"I don't feel that way about him," Eleanor replied truthfully. "He's my best friend. But I can't imagine being in a relationship with him... at all."

Abraxas stopped, and said a little irritably: "But, why don't you try? How do you know it's impossible for you two if you haven't tried?"

Eleanor turned around and said in surprise: "But this kind of thing can't be done just by trying..."

Abraxas suddenly grabbed Eleanor's shoulders tightly, and said in a blunt tone: "Why, Eleanor? What's wrong with accepting him?"

Eleanor looked at him in surprise, "What's wrong with you, Abu?"

Abraxas seemed to be taken aback by himself, he let go of Eleanor's shoulders, "Oh, I'm sorry, Eleanor." He sighed, "...Don't take what happened just now to your heart."
