[HP] Riddle's Spirit Behind

Then, Eleanor finally arrived at the administrator's office at the last moment.

A few minutes later, she was trailing far behind Pringle when she heard Lestrange's angry voice from the broomstick down the corridor.

"No, you have no such right!" he cried.

"Get everything out of your pockets, now!" Pringle roared even louder, "Lypsy Potion—Merlin's beard, I haven't seen that in years! Your guts That's big, boy! Now, let's go to the headmaster together!"

"It's a trap! A bloody trap!" cried Lestrange in a rage. "I've been set! It's Samuel—yes, that guy!"

But no matter how much he defended, it was all in vain.Then Lestrange was poked in the back with Pringle's wand, and walked towards the principal's office.

Eleanor turned around and saw Cloris looking around the corner.

"Good job." Cloris said to her sullenly.

The two girls looked at each other for a few seconds, then grinned almost simultaneously.

"You should have seen Lestrange's embarrassed appearance just now." Eleanor said happily to Cloris.

"Yeah, I saw it from a distance," said Cloures, her lips curling up into a smile. "Looks like someone's vacation is going to be a tough one. God knows what his dad's going to do because of How do you teach him about this?"

"And he is likely to be expelled from school." Eleanor guessed.

"It's definitely going to be fired," Cloures said.

The two girls excitedly discussed Lestrange's future fate, and then walked towards the common room.

"Oh, wait a minute." Eleanor stopped.

"What's wrong?" Claire looked at her suspiciously.

"I've got to go to the principal's office," Eleanor said, "and I've got to get a withdrawal form."

The smile on Cloris' face froze, her eyes widened in confusion, as if she suspected something was wrong with her ears.

"A serving of what?"

"A withdrawal form," repeated Eleanor. "I may not be back next school year."

Cloris opened his mouth, and it took a while before he let out a long "oh".

"Are you really going to drop out?" she asked.

Eleanor nodded hesitantly.

"That's such a pity," said Cloures in a low voice, her expression showing that she really thought so.

After what happened just now, it was obvious that they had become true friends.

Eleanor took a deep breath, "Yeah, I think so too."

The two girls looked at each other for a while, then said goodbye to each other and turned to leave.

Eleanor suddenly felt that her heart became heavier.This was even more depressing than saying goodbye to Tom just now.

The next morning, Eleanor heard that Lestrange had been expelled from the school.

Thinking that she was not the only student who was forced to leave Hogwarts, Eleanor's mood instantly became much lighter.

But when she told Abraxas and Avery about it on the train, she became upset again.

"I'm sorry, guys." She pulled herself together and said with a smile, "But it's not like we'll never see each other again. I'll see you guys during the holidays."

"Ah, yes, that's right—" Avery said with a forced smile.

But Abraxas interrupted their conversation abruptly.

"No, I don't accept it." He said with a tense face, "Even if you can't learn magic, you can stay. Why do you have to leave Hogwarts? Didn't they say you can stay? Forget it, everyone thought you were a Muggle back then."

"Yes, but like you said, it's only temporary." Eleanor sighed, "I'm going to leave sooner or later, because I shouldn't belong there from the beginning—"

"Don't be silly! Of course you belong there!" Abraxas said aloud a little excitedly, "You are a witch, a witch to the letter, Eleanor! Don't you ever put Hogwarts Make it your own home?"

"Hey, calm down, Abu—" Avery reassured.

Abraxas turned his head and pointed the gunfire at Avery angrily, "And you, Avery, why are you so calm? Aren't you the one who should ask Eleanor to stay?"

Avery's cheeks flushed instantly, and he stammered a little, "Uh, yeah, you're right." He turned to stare at Eleanor, "Can't you stay?"

Eleanor was silent, her heart had already begun to shake.And she had already made up her mind to go back to her original life.

The vague memory of little Hangleton is gradually becoming clearer, and she begins to miss the days of living with Uncle Tim's family.

"I don't know, Avery," she murmured after a moment, her eyes looking out the window.The black Hogwarts Castle was within sight.

"Headmaster Dippet said that I should go back among the Muggles. If I really can't become a wizard, this may be my only choice."

"Come with us," Abraxas said suddenly. "You have nowhere else to go, do you? You can't just go back to your old home. The stubborn Muggles won't Those who believe in your bizarre experience will only regard you as a lunatic."

"He's right," Avery continued. "What are your future plans?"

"I plan to go back to my hometown once," replied Eleanor, "and then I plan to find a suitable job in the town."

"But then you'll be away from all your friends and family. Are you really ready to be alone?" Abraxas asked.

Eleanor moved her gaze from the window to Abraxas' face.She looked him in the eyes and sighed, "But I can't go with any of you...I'm sorry, Abu. I can't interfere with your lives, and I need my own."

After about a century, Abraxas' tense expression suddenly relaxed.

Just when Eleanor thought he had figured it out, Abraxas suddenly stood up from the chair.

"I still can't accept it." He said hoarsely. "If there is any way to make you stay, I will do it immediately."

Immediately afterwards, Eleanor watched in surprise as he opened the door of the box and left quickly.

The two remaining people in the box looked at each other awkwardly.

Eleanor suddenly realized that she hadn't been alone with Avery for a long time.Thinking of the confession words that Avery once said, Eleanor suddenly felt a little hot on her face.

She moved to the window and looked out the window.At this time, the train had already started to move, and she stared at the passing scene in a daze.

"Eleanor?" The blond boy suddenly called her name.

Eleanor turned her head, but felt something soft touch her lips lightly.

She suddenly realized that it was a soft kiss.

"Farewell kiss." Avery whispered, and then quickly sat back in his seat, his cheeks almost red and bleeding.He turned his head away and coughed softly, "...it seems that kissing doesn't feel special."

At this moment, there was a dull knocking sound outside the door, followed by a scream of panic.

"What happened?" Avery looked out the door in surprise.

Eleanor opened the door of the box, and saw Abraxas lying on the ground through the gap of the crowd.

At this moment, Eleanor was surprised to see Tom come out of the box in front of Abu.He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and the back of his hand was stained with blood.

"What are you doing, Malfoy? Coming in like a savage Muggle and beating up - is your wand broken?" he said condescendingly, looking down at Abraxas, who glared at him , as if to rush up to punch him again at any time.

Eleanor was also very surprised.She had never seen Abraxas lose his mind and beat someone with his fists, and the adjectives reckless and barbaric never seemed to fit him.

Then she saw Tom slowly raise his wand.

Eleanor hurried over quickly.

"Get out of the way," she murmured, and lifted the blond boy off the ground.She could clearly feel Tom's piercing gaze from behind.

"Are you okay?" she asked. "What happened?"

Abraxas gritted his teeth and shook his head, "It's nothing. Let's go."

On the way back, Eleanor couldn't help turning her head and glanced in Tom Riddle's direction.

The black-haired boy was lowering his head, touching the wound at the corner of his mouth with his fingers.Holliday was standing beside him, trying to wipe the blood off his cheek with a handkerchief.

The moment Eleanor turned her head back, Tom suddenly raised his head.

The sights of the two hurriedly crossed and slid across the air until each other's figures disappeared within sight.

After returning to the box, Eleanor was surprised to find that Cloris was sitting next to Avery, looking at them worriedly.

"What the hell happened?" asked Cloures. "I just saw Tom use a whipping spell. Are you all right, Malfoy?"

Abraxas sat across from them, pulled up his shirt, and made a gasping sound at the same time.

A red welt clearly appeared on his waist.

"God, Malfoy, why did you rush to beat him just now?" Cloures said with a frown, and at the same time took out a bottle of ointment from the small bag he was carrying and handed it to Avery.

Avery leaned forward and began carefully applying the medicine to Abraxas.

Abraxas let out a long breath before saying, "I just saw... Tom was kissing that blonde girl."

Eleanor froze immediately, completely unable to believe what Abraxas just said.

"Who? Holliday?" Cloris raised his eyebrows, "Oh, men, you should never underestimate the speed at which they change women." She glanced at Eleanor, "No offense to you, Eleanor, I was just complaining."

Eleanor shook her head slowly.

Cloris continued with a sneer: "Men are all the same. For them, women are just a pastime."

"Not all men," Avery retorted softly.

"I doubt it very much." Cloris snorted coldly. "Even if you are like you, young Mr. Bourne, you would be foolish when you meet a pretty girl—"

Eleanor didn't listen to a word that Cloris said.

She took out her wand and stroked it gently.It is said that all students who leave school break their wands to ensure that they do not study dangerous magic in private.But Dippet didn't ask Eleanor to do that.

Eleanor was thankful for this, as she wished she could keep the wand as a souvenir.

After an unknown period of time, Eleanor fell asleep in a trance with her wand in her arms.She leaned against the window, vaguely recalling the bells of Little Hangleton Church in her mind, and smelled the aroma of food wafting from the window.

It's time to go back.she said to herself in a daze.

"... Never leave my side." A familiar voice suddenly sounded clearly in her ears.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and seemed to be able to feel a trace of Tom's breath.

But what appeared in front of her was not those dark and deep eyes, but a whole gloomy iron-gray sky.

"It's raining." The voice of Avery or Abraxas said.

Raindrops struck the windows of the speeding train in thin, crystal lines.Eleanor pressed her cheek against the cold window, and opened her eyes wide to try to see the scenery outside the window.

Under the darkened sky, the endless fields stretch to the horizon, but there is nothing else.

"It's gone," Eleanor said softly.

"What's missing?" Avery asked behind her.

Eleanor did not answer.She stared for a long time in the direction the train had come, as if she could still see Hogwarts Castle.

After a long time, she finally closed her eyes again.

But this time it was not a deep sleep, but it was time to wake up from the dream.

The author has something to say: they will meet again.
