[HP] Riddle's Spirit Behind

"Eleanor?" Avery said in surprise, "what are you hanging around here?"

"Avery!" Eleanor turned around in surprise, "Uh, it's nothing, I was just thinking..."

Avery's eyes sank, staring at Eleanor's collar, sighed, "Stop talking, I know what you're thinking."

"You know?" Eleanor's eyes widened.

"Yes, I know," Avery said, taking a deep breath, looking up into Eleanor's eyes, and said hoarsely, "I should apologize to you."

"Apologize? No, you don't need to apologize!" Eleanor said immediately.

"Listen, Eleanor," Avery continued, forcing out a bitter smile, "Actually, I shouldn't have asked you out last time. I already knew the answer. And I..."

He suddenly stopped, showing a hesitant expression.

"And what?" Eleanor couldn't help asking.

Avery took a deep breath again, and he said in a monotonous and fast tone: "And I found that I was wrong, everything before was probably just my illusion. I only regard you as a friend, nothing else Things... so you forget everything I said!"

Avery spoke as if he was reciting a prepared speech, which made it hard for Eleanor to believe that what he said was true.

But what could Eleanor say?She could only silently nod her head.

Avery immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he forced a smile at Eleanor, "So we're still friends?"

Friends of course.Eleanor wanted to say this, but a voice suddenly choked her words back into her stomach.

"What are you doing standing here so stupidly?" Abraxas said in a funny tone.

"We were just chatting." Avery quickly replied, he looked at Eleanor and nodded slightly, "Then good night, Eleanor."

"Good night, Eleanor." Abraxas also said with a smile.

Eleanor watched them disappear through the door of the boys' dormitory, and suddenly felt extremely complicated.

She knew the three of them could never be what they used to be.

Losing a friendship, and then gaining a love, she doesn't know whether she has gained more or lost more.She only knew that all of this was caused by herself. Who told her to fall in love with that guy?

Eleanor then painfully finds herself a human being.

Avery no longer took the initiative to ask her to do anything together, so she had to go to class alone, eat, and then go back to the dormitory to do homework after class.

She knew she could go to Tom to pass the time, but she held back.She wondered if she would make herself look like an easy girl by reaching out to him.When they were in church schools, they often taught girls to be reserved.

As a result, time passed so quickly.

Fortunately, Eleanor made a lot of new friends in class.

As a Slytherin student, it is very difficult to deal with Gryffindors, and most Slytherins have their own social circles, so most of Eleanor's new friends are from Hufflepuff Or Ravenclaw.They would greet Eleanor affectionately on the way, and occasionally they would gather together in the library to write papers or something.

"Hi, Eleanor, we're going to visit Hogsmeade this weekend, and I heard that Lady Puddiffe's Tea House has a new frosting cheesecake. Do you want to come?" A Hufflepuff girl said after class Then he caught up with Eleanor and said.

"Oh! Of course!" said Eleanor, flattered. "I will certainly go."

On the weekend, Eleanor and two chattering girls sat in a girly teahouse, drinking sweet honey tea and eating soft cheesecake.She looked at her reflection in the window, sighed and thought, this is the life a girl should have.

The topic of girls can never be separated from boys.They enthusiastically discussed Valentine's Day, which is a month away, and the latest gossip about the couples.

"I heard that Holliday in the sixth grade is pursuing Tom Riddle." A girl named Bonnie said.

Hearing Tom's name, Eleanor immediately let out a soft "ah".

The two girls turned to look at her immediately.

Eleanor pretended that she just choked on the tea, "Ahem... what did you just say? Who is chasing whom?"

"Holliday's after Tom Riddle," repeated Bonnie. "You know Holliday, don't you? She's the prettiest girl in sixth grade."

"I don't agree," said another girl named Rita. "She's not the prettiest, she's just stylish. But Tom Riddle is really handsome."

"Oh—of course he is!" said Bonnie. "There's not a girl in the whole school who doesn't agree with that. There isn't a boy in the whole school who is better than him, and you have to admit it."

"He's not that good, he's just a megalomaniac," Eleanor muttered.

He had not spoken a serious word to Eleanor for a month.The last time I pretended to say that I missed her, it was actually a lie.Eleanor thought angrily.

"Well, I admit he can look a little dour at times," Bonnie said, "but that makes him more mysterious, doesn't it?"

"It's not mysterious, it's kind of scary. How can there be such a perfect person in the world, he must be a duplicity person." Rita said sharply, "Only a fool would be willing to associate with that kind of person."

Eleanor almost choked to death with a big mouthful of cheesecake, "Ahem——"

Rita quickly stretched out her hand to pat her on the back, "Are you all right, Eleanor?"

"I'm fine." Eleanor waved her hand quickly.

"Speaking of Tom Riddle, you know him pretty well, don't you, Eleanor?" said Rita. "You used to hang out with him all the time, didn't you?"

"Yeah, that's right." Bonnie said with interest. "Tell us what kind of man he is."

"Oh, he—just like Rita said, he's an arrogant, duplicity guy." Eleanor grinned.

"There are rumors that he is a descendant of Muggle nobles, and others say that he has Slytherin blood, which one is true?" Bonnie continued to ask.

"I don't know." Eleanor shrugged.She felt that she might reveal herself if she continued talking, so she quickly changed the subject. "By the way, don't keep talking about him, why don't we order a dessert? I think this kind of pumpkin pie is good..."

Bonnie was a nice girl, but a little too gossipy.In contrast, Eleanor prefers Rita.She is very smart, although sometimes she is a little outspoken, but she is not evil.

She had thought she could become good friends with Bonnie and Rita, but not long after returning from the teahouse, the two of them suddenly began to avoid Eleanor noticeably.

Eleanor had no idea what she had done wrong.She caught up with Rita after class one time, hoping to find out.

Rita looked at Eleanor hesitantly, and sighed, "We heard rumors that you are dating Tom Riddle, is that true?"

"Who did you hear that from?" Eleanor asked in surprise.

Rita hesitated, "...it's Tom Riddle himself."

Eleanor couldn't believe her ears, "What?"

"You're clearly dating him, why don't you tell us the truth?" Rita asked back, then snorted, "But you're telling the truth when you say he's an arrogant guy, because he humiliated us a lot Fan, saying that we are not qualified to be friends with you."

"He said that!" cried Elinor angrily. "I swear I know nothing about it."

"Maybe." Rita said with a cold shrug. "Goodbye, Eleanor."

Eleanor stood in front of Tom angrily.

Tom was sitting in an armchair reading a thick book with small, dense letters that looked like they were written in ancient runes.

At this time, there were only the two of them left in the common room, and a boy who was sleeping with his head up on the sofa in the corner.

"I was wondering when you would come to see me." With a smile on the corner of Tom's mouth, he closed the book gently.

"Why do you say things like that in front of my friends?" Eleanor stared at him angrily with folded arms.

"Because they're not your friends," said Tom softly, and put the book aside. "Come sit beside me, Eleanor."

Eleanor didn't sit down, "Why do you say they are not my friends?"

Tom raised his head and stared at Eleanor, "If they are true friends, they won't change their opinion of you just because of a few words from others."

"Even so, you have no right to meddle in my private affairs." Eleanor said angrily, "Whom I want to be friends with is my business, and you can't—"

Tom suddenly reached out and grabbed Eleanor's arm, pulling her towards him.

Eleanor fell forward unsteadily. She quickly grabbed the armrest of the chair and knelt on the chair between Tom's legs.

"What are you doing—"

Eleanor's words were blocked by Tom's lips.

He bit Eleanor's lower lip lightly with his teeth, and then stuck out the tip of his tongue to trace between her teeth.The wet and hot touch made Eleanor startled, and then she felt that her mouth was almost full of the other party's taste.

She couldn't help but let out a groan from her throat.

God, she really liked kissing Tom.It made her feel ashamed and excited, and wondered at the same time, where on earth did he learn these skills?

It took a while before she had a break to breathe.

"So, you forgive me?" Tom blushed slightly, and whispered hoarsely in her ear.

This is foul!Eleanor thought angrily.But she was more angry with herself than with the other.

"So tell me the truth," whispered Eleanor, "why on earth did you say that to Rita and Bonnie?"

"I said it because they are not good enough for you." Tom replied softly, "You deserve better friends." He said, kissing Eleanor's lips again, rubbing gently and saying: "... …Like me."

"But I can't find you." Eleanor said with a frown.

"It won't happen in the future." Tom stretched out his hand to let Eleanor's head rest on his shoulder, stroking her smooth long black hair gently and slowly, "I will always be by your side in the future, no matter what happens. I Will never leave you like those people."
