[HP] Riddle's Spirit Behind

When Eleanor woke up, she found herself lying on a bed in the school hospital.

The sunlight coming in from the window made her squint her eyes.She heard a familiar voice from outside the curtain, "How is she?"

"Don't worry, I've checked her. She's just overtired. She just needs to rest for a while." Mr. Martin replied.

Immediately, the curtain was lifted.

"Good morning, Eleanor, or noon." Tom said with a smile, "You look good."

Eleanor stretched her waist, "Yeah, I feel like I haven't slept so well for a long time."

"How on earth did you get overtired?" He walked up to Eleanor and looked down into her green eyes. "You look better now, though. Don't make me worry about you too much, you know?"

"I don't know why this happened." Eleanor yawned and said, "I can't sleep enough lately, maybe because of the cold weather."

She jumped off the bed briskly, "What time is it? Did I miss lunch?"

"Yes. The afternoon class will start soon."

"Oh, bad luck," she said, "I feel like I'm starving."

"Then you should be very grateful to me for bringing you some food." Tom smiled and brought a large plate with cheese sandwiches and a cup full of pumpkin juice on it from the table behind him, smiling.

"Oh, thank God. No, I mean, thank you." She went over and kissed Tom on the cheek, and then giggled under her breath as though she had succeeded in a mischief.

Tom looked at her slightly flushed cheeks, and a smile that could be called gentle was on the corner of his mouth.

"Have a good rest. I will ask the professor for leave for your potions class in the afternoon." After he finished speaking, he turned and left.

Eleanor ate all the sandwiches in no time.She doesn't feel sleepy at all now, so she plans to take a walk by the lake.

Now it is early spring, the trees on the shore of the lake have taken out their green branches and leaves, the grass on the ground is sprouting, and the robins and chickadees are singing and jumping on the branches, like a twittering chorus.

Eleanor skillfully climbed a beech tree, and then looked out at the sparkling lake in the distance.Some huge creature swam by in the lake water, causing a large group of ripples.

Eleanor watched there with interest, and after an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard a voice not far away.

"You've been following me for so long, what on earth are you trying to do?" The person who spoke was obviously Abraxas.

Eleanor saw Abraxas standing by the lake not far away with his back to her through the gaps in the branches and leaves.In front of him stood two strange Hufflepuff boys.One of the boys was tall, with a strand of hair dyed silver on his forehead, and the other was short and fat.

"You should know what your father has done recently." The boy with dyed hair said coldly.

"Sorry, I don't know anything about it," Abraxas replied.He had one hand in his pocket, and the other gripped his wand tightly behind him.

"Don't play dumb!" the dumpy boy yelled. "It's in the Daily Prophet! Our father lost his job and got a lawsuit! Thanks to your father!"

"Didn't your father be arrested for illegally reselling enchanted Muggle cars?" Abraxas said calmly, while tightening his wand again, "My father just provided some It's just a clue, he didn't mean to target your father."

"Provided some clues!" The boy with dyed hair said with a sneer, "Who used our family to buy so many prohibited magic items? Crossing rivers and demolishing bridges is a traditional virtue of your Malfoy family, isn't it?"

"Your father betrayed us! We will never forgive him!" cried the chunky boy, it was hard to imagine that the two of them were brothers.

"So what do you want to do?" Abraxas said coldly.

"Of course I'm going to teach you a lesson." The boy with dyed hair raised his wand and took a step forward, then watched Abraxas show his wand from behind with contempt, "You think you can beat two fifth graders?" student?"

Abraxas stared at them without saying a word, and his slightly trembling hands showed that he was actually very nervous.

Eleanor quietly took out her wand.

In the blink of an eye, they shot spells at each other almost simultaneously.

But none of them expected that a spark also shot from the tree, and it hit the boy with the dyed hair at the same time as Abraxas' spell.Immediately the boy fainted and fell headfirst into the muddy swamp on the shore of the lake.

"Who is it?" The chunky boy raised his head and looked in Eleanor's direction in surprise and fear.

Eleanor quickly chanted another stun spell, but this time there was no response.

But fortunately Abraxas reacted quickly.Laughing out of breath, he stunned the pudgy boy with a stun spell.

Eleanor jumped briskly down from the tree, and she walked up to Abraxas and said a mantra to him.

Abraxas immediately stopped laughing nervously.

"Thank you," he gasped. "How did you end up in that tree?"

"That's not important." Eleanor kicked the person who fell to the ground. "What shall we do with them? Throw them into the lake?"

Abraxas looked at Eleanor in surprise, "No, we can't do that."

Eleanor stuck out her tongue, "I was just joking. But will they report us when they wake up?"

"I don't think so." Abraxas replied, "After all, they provoked it first." He said, and suddenly sneered mockingly, "Also, even though they were just like that, they are actually quite afraid of my family. Human."

On the way back, Abraxas suddenly said to Eleanor: "I'm sorry, I let you see that scene just now. But there is no way, my father is quite hated."

Eleanor looked at each other in a little surprise.There was a mixture of helplessness and resentment on the boy's face.

"Sounds like it happens to you a lot," Eleanor said.

"Yes," Abraxas glanced at Eleanor, and quickly added, "but it's nothing, I'm used to it. My family members are more...easy to make enemies. But few people will deliberately annoy us directly, they It will only trip us up behind our backs. So we are taught from an early age to know how to distinguish between friends and enemies."

"Sounds like hard work," Eleanor sighed sympathetically.She had a hard time imagining what it was like growing up in such a family.

"Actually, it's not as serious as it sounds," Abraxas said with a pretended relaxed smile.

Eleanor stretched out her hand and pinched his shoulder, and suddenly realized that his shoulder was thinner than Tom's.

"Don't worry, you still have me and Avery. No matter what happens, the two of us will always be your friends. We will always be by your side." She said in a sincere tone.

There was a gleam of light in Abraxas' eyes, and he said softly: "Thank you, Eleanor."

Just as they were about to reach the hall, Eleanor saw Tom standing at the other end of the corridor, talking to a girl with his head bowed.

He raised his head and noticed Eleanor and Abraxas, so he frowned slightly and made a gesture to Eleanor to come over.

"Come here." He said with his mouth.

Eleanor sighed, "Sorry, I have to go over there."

"It's okay, you go." Abraxas said calmly, keeping his eyes firmly on Tom.

Eleanor walked quickly to Tom, and suddenly realized that the girl who was talking to him looked very familiar.

"Hi—" The girl smiled brightly, which made her look even more beautiful.She looked Eleanor up and down unabashedly, "Eleanor Alford, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's me." Eleanor's tone became cold involuntarily.

She was also looking at the other person, and then suddenly remembered that she was the "prettiest girl in fifth grade" Kathy Holliday.But she was really pretty.

She has fashionable short blond curly hair, and a pair of clear blue eyes that always seem to be full of mist.The overly loose school uniform robe made her look even weaker.In short, she is a girl who easily arouses others' desire to protect.

"You're a celebrity," Holliday said. "I've heard about you."

"Thank you," Eleanor replied. "I don't sign."

Holliday giggled.

Eleanor frowned, was what she said so funny?

"I heard from Tom that you two are going to form a study group?" Holliday said.

Eleanor glanced at Tom in surprise, why didn't she know about this at all?

Tom nodded slightly at her, pursing his lips casually.

Eleanor knew it was when Tom was upset.

"Yes, we're going to form a group," Eleanor said.

"That's great," Holliday said with a smile, "you can add me. Because I'm too stupid, my friends don't want to take me."

"But you belong to Ravenclaw," Eleanor said.

"That's okay, I've already asked the professor. Ravenclaw and Slytherin students can form study groups together." Holliday said patiently, "And, they seem to encourage us to do so! It is helpful to promote friendly exchanges between colleges."

Eleanor hesitated for a moment, "Alright then."

"You agree?" Holliday said pleasantly. "Great, Tom. Then I'll go and submit the application to the prefect."

Seeing Holliday's disappearing figure, Tom suddenly let out a strange chuckle, "Why did you promise her?"

"Because I can't think of a reason to refuse. She said so plausibly, I can't refute at all." Eleanor shrugged.

Tom stretched out his hand and pulled Eleanor closer, and said in a low voice, "I'd be happier if you'd just rejected her forcefully."

"Don't you just want to see me jealous?" Eleanor tossed her hair, pretending to be arrogant and said, "You are such a pervert, Tom."

"Yes, you are very right." Tom pulled Eleanor into a corridor next to him, then bowed his head and kissed her.

After a few seconds, a few students approached them talking and laughing loudly, and then they parted breathlessly, and then walked into the hall side by side pretending to be nonchalant.

The author has something to say: Eleanor is actually a natural black. . .real.
