[HP] Riddle's Spirit Behind

Spring is always so short. After several continuous spring rains, the breath of summer fills every corner of the castle.The students changed into skimpy summer uniforms and started chasing and playing in the new green grass surrounding the castle.

Since starting the study group, Eleanor has started spending more time with Tom.Another member of the group, Holliday, was not always present due to grades and houses.She only comes over once on weekends.

Tom's treatment of Holliday was as cold as hell.He never said a word to her.However, Holliday didn't care about this at all, and she was still persistent in trying to get Tom's attention.

After a long time, Eleanor actually felt a little pitiful for Holliday.In large part, she ate up the cream biscuits and blueberry jelly that Holliday had brought.They taste really good, and it is said that Holliday made them herself.

What a hardworking girl, thought Eleanor as she bit into a cream biscuit.

"Could you put that thing down?" said Tom, frowning without looking up. "It's so loud I can't concentrate."

"Sorry." Eleanor mumbled, patting the biscuit crumbs on her body, "I'm always hungry lately."

After a quarter of an hour, Tom suddenly put down the book in his hand.He was helpless to find Eleanor dozing against the wall.

So he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers next to Eleanor's ear, "Wake up."

Eleanor opened her eyes suddenly, "What what?"

"Come on, let's find a place to practice spells." Tom said, pulling her up from the chair, "Hurry up, you still have a new spell to learn today."

For some time now, Tom has been teaching Eleanor all the basic spells up to fifth grade.They opened up a room in the Room of Requirement where they can practice spells. The room is magically filled with props that can be used for practice, including various cushions and rows of spelling technique books.

Unfortunately, the progress is not very ideal.An ordinary spell, Eleanor needs to cast it at least thirty times before it will be successful once.

"Forget it, I'd better give up. I just don't have that talent." Eleanor yawned and threw the wand aside in despair.

Tom picked up the wand, frowned and stared at Eleanor and said, "Hold your wand, Eleanor. As a wizard, you must always keep your wand where you can get it at any time."

"You sound like a professor." Eleanor shrugged and casually took the wand. "Can we take a break today? I'm exhausted."

"No," said Tom coldly.

Eleanor looked at him in surprise.

Tom sighed, and he reached out and grabbed Eleanor's shoulders, making her meet his gaze, "Listen, Eleanor, I just want to help you. Didn't you say that you should practice magic well, and finally let her Are those who look down on you surprised?"

"Yes, I did." Eleanor yawned, tears welling up in her eyes, "but I feel so sleepy that I don't want to practice anymore. And you can see that no matter how much I practice, The end result is still the same.”

Tom stared at her in silence for a little while.

"Well, Eleanor," he said at last, "we're not going to practice those spells."

"Really?"

"Really," Tom replied, "starting today, we're going to practice something else."

He took out a roll of parchment from his pocket.Some spells that Eleanor had never heard of were densely written in beautiful handwriting on the parchment.

"I sorted it out myself," he said. "From now on, you must learn at least two of the above spells every week."

Eleanor stared at the parchment for a while, "Tom, these are not things you and your friends are working on."

"Some are, some aren't. That doesn't matter. What matters is that you should try some of them," said Tom quietly. "I'm sure you'll be very good at them."

"I doubt it very much." Eleanor said without confidence, "You know how good I am at all spells."

Tom turned and went to the cabinet and picked up a jar containing a long-legged spider.Only then did Eleanor know what was in the cloth bag he was holding just now. It seemed that he had already planned what he would practice today.

He placed the jar on the round table in front of Eleanor, "Try the first spell on it."

"Frozen flame, spray out a blue flame with freezing effect, which can cause great damage to your enemies..." Eleanor silently read the content of the first article, and then took a deep breath, "Okay , let’s see how it works.”

Tom held out his wand and with a silent spell broke the jar.The spider immediately crawled out of it in a panic.

Eleanor raised her wand and said the spell she had just seen to the spider.

A beautiful blue flame erupted from the tip of her staff, before dissolving into a blue-gray mist.Frost instantly formed in the place shrouded in mist.The spider froze as soon as it hit the mist, rolled over and fell to the ground, breaking a leg.

"I did it!" Eleanor exclaimed in surprise.She brushed off her previous drowsiness, excitedly planning to try the spell again with the glass filled with water on the table.

Then a very powerful jet of flame shot out of her wand, and rushed straight at Tom.

"Oh, no—" Eleanor exclaimed.

With a wave of his wand, Tom dispelled the icy mist with a blast of fire magic.

"Very good." Tom didn't look angry at all, but showed a pleasant smile, "You did very well, Eleanor. Few people can do this for the first time."

"This spell is too dangerous." Eleanor said with lingering fear.

"But you are the one who uses the spell. As long as you don't use it in a dangerous place, it's not dangerous," said Tom lightly.

Elinor looked at him and smiled, "You're right." She was immersed in the excitement of success, so she eagerly opened the parchment and wanted to try the second spell.

But Tom took the parchment from her.

"You can do better with that spell just now, so we will only practice this one today." He said, "You will have a chance to learn other things later."

Eleanor stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Professor Riddle."

Time passed unconsciously.In the end, Eleanor has been able to use the frozen flame very proficiently, and can also control the size and jet strength of the flame.

She yawned, her eyelids feeling heavy as if they had been filled with lead.

"You look exhausted." She heard Tom's voice as if from afar, "Come on, let's go back and rest."

She fell headfirst on the cushion next to her, muttering sleepily: "No, I don't want to move...I'm going to sleep here today."

As soon as she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Tom strode over, looking down at her sleeping face.

"Wake up, Eleanor." He bent down and patted her cheek.But she slept soundly like a baby, and there was no way to wake her up.

Sighing, Tom squatted down, picked her up on top of a pile of cushions, and put a blanket over her.

Afterwards, he sat on the soft cushion beside Eleanor, picked up a book and flipped through it.But he found that he couldn't see it at all.

He suddenly realized that there were only the two of them in the room.

With one hand resting on his chin, it was not the pages of the book that he was gazing intently at, but the sleeping girl.

The sleeping girl turned over unconsciously and uttered an indistinct dream.She didn't notice that her skirt was lifted a little bit, revealing her smooth and fair calves.

He suddenly found that his throat became a little dry, and at the same time his breathing became short of breath.He couldn't help but slowly stretched out his hand to Eleanor, and then suddenly froze in mid-air.

"Damn it." He suddenly cursed secretly, and stood up abruptly from the cushion.

He paced back and forth in the room for a while, grabbed the cup on the table and took a big sip of the cold black tea, finally calming himself down again.

"...Good morning, Eleanor. Time to get up."

Eleanor opened her eyes in a daze, and saw a pair of black eyes staring at herself directly above.

"...Tom?" She turned over and tried to sit up, but suddenly found that she had fallen asleep in the Room of Requirement.

"Don't worry, no one noticed you didn't come back last night," said Tom. "I got Cloris to cover for you."

Eleanor stretched, and suddenly found that the cushion next to her was sunken.She reached out to touch it and found that the cushion was warm.

"Hey, Tom." She swallowed nervously and asked pretending to be casual, "Where did you sleep last night?"

While straightening his skirts in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, Tom glanced at Eleanor from the mirror.

"I slept next to you for a while," he said quietly.

"What?" Eleanor sat up abruptly, stammering, "You mean, you and I... No, you can't do that!"

"Why not?" asked Tom, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Because it's wrong!" said Eleanor, looking eagerly for the right words. "Because we're not married yet! Oh, my God, if I--if-"

"What if?"

Eleanor said in a voice as small as a mosquito buzzing: "What if I get pregnant..."

Tom turned around abruptly, staring at Eleanor with an expression that looked like he was about to burst out laughing.

"Pregnant!" he said with a patient smile. "Did you really think you were, Eleanor?"

Eleanor knew she must be wrong.She was so ashamed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground and slip in.

"I was just joking." She turned her head and stared at the corner and muttered, "And, that's what I heard people say before... They said that as long as two people lie together, the woman will become pregnant."

"Don't worry, honey, you won't be pregnant." The corners of Tom's mouth were raised high, still with that forced smile, "Besides, I just sat next to you for a while, I didn't lie down."

"Oh no, don't say it, forget it!" cried Eleanor in shame, and pulled the blanket over her head. "If you say it again, I won't get up!"
