HP's profit-seeking

When Tom Riddle stepped into the Slytherin common room for the first time, he was like a commoner who strayed into a noble party, out of place.Wearing a worn-out second-hand cloak, he found a corner by himself to sit quietly, observing his surroundings vigilantly, like... like a snake.

Doria Black, a sixth grader, glanced at this thin little boy with black hair and pale complexion, turned his head back with disdain, and talked with Walburga Black, a second grader, and Alphard Black, a newcomer Certain gray areas outside of some Hogwarts rules and regulations.

……

If Tom Riddle was gloomy, aloof, and extreme at the beginning, then after living in Hogwarts for four years, he can completely disguise himself into another appearance: kind, polite, intelligent and alert, There is no teacher who does not like him, and no student who does not treat him well.

What's more, such a talented student also has a handsome face, which gives him even more points.And Tom Riddle is also very good at taking advantage of people's appearance, there is nothing he wants but can't get.

On this day, Tom was looking up books in the library. He had always suspected that he had an inexplicable connection with Slytherin's ancestors.He used to think that communicating with snakes was a skill of wizards, but after coming to Slytherin, he realized that not everyone can speak Parseltongue. For thousands of years, only the descendants of Slytherin can possess this ability .

"Are... are you looking for some book?" A delicate and shy female voice asked, interrupting Tom's thinking.

He looked up at the short, yellow-haired girl, with a natural smile on his face, charming and handsome, "Yes, Miss Greengrass."

Greengrass lowered his head shyly, not daring to look into his obsidian-like eyes, "Is...is there anything...can I help?"

"Hmm..." Tom made a thoughtful look, frowned slightly, and tapped his face with his slender fingers, "Really, do you know anything about the descendants of Slytherin? I always feel... I have some kind of tangled connection with Slytherin..."

Greenglass looked up at him in surprise, then quickly lowered his head, "I'll help you... The Gaunt family is the descendant of Slytherin, and my uncle happens to be a collateral branch of the Gaunt family... …I can borrow a family tree for you…”

"That's really great." Tom was a little surprised, holding Greengrass's hand with a big bony hand, bowing and leaving a light kiss on it, "Thank you so much, kind and beautiful lady. "

Greenglass' face turned red all of a sudden, he pulled out his hand and ran away.

The charming smile on the corner of Tom's mouth slowly turned into a sneer, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his lower lip, "Oh... stupid woman..."

At this time, a red-haired girl in a Ravenclaw uniform stepped out from behind the bookshelf, and Tomshin's long, thin body froze for a moment.She glanced at him with those blue eyes, bowed her head calmly to greet him, and then left with the book in her arms.

Tom came back to his senses and recognized the girl just now, that Ravenclaw nerd who had been competing with him for the first place all the year round, what was her name... Dany, Booles, whatever, forget it, it's not an important person .He straightened his tie naturally, and walked out of the library in that charming look again.

In the Slytherin common room.

This is a translucent cellar at the bottom of the lake. The walls are made of black Gothic marble, and the ceiling is a transparent semicircle carved from crystal. You can see the sparkling water when you look up.A green chandelier hanging from the ceiling hangs naturally with chains, and there are several high-backed chairs and sofas next to the beautifully carved fireplace in the room.

Alphard Black lay lazily on the sofa, and threw a dart casually, hitting the red heart of the target hanging on the wall. The huge octopus passing by the window next to it was frightened and flew away quickly.He glanced at the door, grinning, "Hey, our Slytherin school is over, we're back!"

Tom Riddle still had a kind look on his face, but his subordinates secretly slapped Alphard's leg hard, "Sit down, please save some face for the Black family."

"Sinister viper!" Alfred jumped up in pain, jumped onto another sofa, and lay down on his sister Walburga Black's lap. Rest well, I will be exhausted at the Christmas banquet the day after tomorrow, and I will dance with the ladies of various families, my feet will never stop that night."

Walburga shook her head helplessly, and continued to flip through the latest "Wizard's Beauty" magazine. She needed to order a new necklace to match her dress skirt.

"Tom, do you want to come and play?" Alphard made a funny salute, "The young master of the Black family sincerely invites you to participate in the Christmas dinner hosted by the Black family. Would you like it?"

The expression on Tom's face didn't change at all, and he was making some small calculations in his heart: How much Galleons would it cost to rent a decent dress, a pair of leather shoes, and perhaps an exquisite tie clip...

"Almost all the heirs of the 28 pure-blood families will be present. After all, we are all more or less related by blood..."

When he heard Alphard's words, Tom's small calculation stopped, and he looked up and said with a smile, "My pleasure."

……

The lights are bright, and the luxurious crystal chandelier shines on the huge and luxurious foyer, and the melodious music echoes in it. Those gorgeously dressed boys and girls are dancing on the dance floor, and those mature men are in groups, drinking money and making plans. future interests of the family.The women sat around on the sofa, laughing and chatting happily, and quietly inquired about information from all parties.

Tom Riddle smelled the faint fragrance floating in the air, looked at the lively scene in front of him, his black eyes were full of excitement and eagerness to try, he loves communication, and communication can bring countless contacts and benefits.He plunged into the sea of ​​people like a fish, like a fish in water.

After having a warm conversation with the current head of Malfoy's family, Tom picked up the red wine handed over by the passing waiter, sipped it gracefully, but kept cursing Malfoy's insidiousness and cunning in his heart.

"Tom, are you alone?" Walburga stood beside him. "Would you like to dance together?"

Tom looked up at her, his eyes indifferent.

Walburga raised a mocking smile, "Don't worry, I won't cling to you like Greengrass." She raised her head and drank the red wine in the glass, "After all, I am from the Black family, and My cousin Orion and I will soon be engaged."

She threw the wine glass on the waiter's tray freely, and stretched out her hand to invite Tom, "Let's go, it's just a dance, a gentleman will not refuse a lady's little request."

"Of course." Tom smiled and took her hand, and slid onto the dance floor with her slender waist.

With changing footsteps and elegant posture, Tom is holding Walburga's hand and moving martially on the dance floor. There is a decent and reserved smile on the corner of his mouth. Who can imagine how much he has paid for learning this set of strict dance steps when he was born as an orphan? s hard work.He pulled Walburga around in a circle, his eyes were indifferent, no one knew, and no one cared.

During the dance, they gradually changed their original positions. After turning around again, Tom saw Alphard, who was pulling a red-haired girl dancing not far from the dance floor.Tom was a little surprised. Although he changed his clothes and looked more beautiful than usual, he still recognized the man. Isn't this the Ravenclaw nerd?

Walburga glanced in the direction of his gaze, "Alphad actually called Danica over, she doesn't come to such occasions very often."

"Is that the girl who was dancing with Alphard?" Tom continued to hold Walburga and dance without stopping.

"Yes, our uncle's only daughter, the only heir of the Bulstrode family." Walburga said proudly, "Bulstrode is the kind of person who makes a fortune silently, But Danica is much better than her father, she has a good mind at a young age, and the profit of the family business she took over has more than doubled in the past two years."

"Oh?" Tom asked suspiciously, "but I haven't seen this lady much before."

"Yes, she has never liked crowded places, and no one can call her unless necessary communication. However, she is not like other ladies, searching for suitable young talents at the ball, just relying on her The innumerable property of the family is enough for men to flock to her." Walburga laughed loudly, "But my uncle will not let her go, he still wants to keep this daughter for a few more years."

Tom smiled politely, and didn't comment much on a noble lady, but he had some thoughts of his own in his heart.

After the song ended, Walburga took Tom to sit on the sofa in the corner where Alphard was.

As soon as I passed by, I heard Alphard complaining to Danica, "No wonder you don't want to come to this kind of banquet, you are exhausted from dancing, and you have to look at those old men's fake smiling faces—"

"Speak carefully!" Walburga sternly reprimanded him, Alphard curled his lips, and sat down impatiently to the side.

"Cousin, Alphard just complained in front of my face."

The first time Tom heard Danica's voice, it was like a calm sea, gentle and powerful.

"You know how to protect him. He was born around the same time, why is there such a big difference..." Walburga said with disgust.

Danica smiled and said hello to Tom, "Hello," she glanced at Alphard, who immediately said, "Tom Riddle, my classmate."

Danica greeted with a smile again, with the elegance and indifference inherent in nobles, "Hello, Mr. Riddle."

She didn't reach out her hand, and she invisibly refused his kiss.

Tom also gave a false smile. "Hi, Miss Bulstrode."

In the second half of the banquet, the heirs of each family were tired from dancing, sitting together in small groups, eating desserts, laughing and discussing recent events.

"...The Weasley family has added a newcomer. It's really like moles in the field, hugging cubs one after another." Alphard drank some wine, was already a little drunk, and started talking nonsense, "The Malfoy family, on the contrary to their family, has a difficult heir, but I heard that it is because of his..."

The half-grown youths laughed out loud because of his gibberish dirty words, Danica also shook her head with a smile, seeing that the black-haired boy sitting opposite was listening seriously, and put the cup on the tray casually On, the waiter at the side hurriedly refilled it for the third time.

Danica thought that he might not understand the etiquette here, so she kindly reminded him.She coughed lightly, and seeing Riddle looking over, she lightly put the cup she had taken a sip on the cup holder, and then turned the cup so that the ear turned to the twelve o'clock direction.The waiter did not move while holding the teapot.

Tom's heart was full of shame and anger, his ears were red, and he rearranged the cups as she had just done.Afterwards, he kept calmly staring at Danica Bulstrode with vicious eyes, thinking that he must see the scene where her calm appearance was torn apart, for example, after chasing her and abandoning her... …

……

The Christmas holiday passed quickly, and after the new semester started, Danica found that she would always run into Tom Riddle "accidentally". Everyone knew that the Ravenclaw public room was on the north side of the castle, and Slytherin But it's underground in the castle, and it's not on the way at all.And every time they meet, Danica will receive a small gift, sometimes a bouquet of flowers with dew, sometimes a rare book...

Obviously, Danica was holding a large bouquet of white roses and walking towards the dormitory with a smile on her lips.The pursuit of a handsome boy and so many flowers are enough to keep her in a good mood all day.

On the other hand, Tom Riddle was not in such a good mood as she was. He was sullen in his heart, this damned reckless Miss Bulstrode, every time he accepted his little gift, he didn't show anything, so what? The pair of wise blue eyes stared at him a few more times, and he felt that his clumsy deeds had already been discovered by the other party.

As soon as Alphard came out of the dormitory, he saw Tom scratching his black hair in distress. He couldn't help laughing, "Look at your expression now, it looks like you can't love it. It's really rare, let my brother listen to it." Listen, which girl is it that bothers you so much?"

Tom's body froze, and the next second his long legs crossed, and he leaned on the sofa with his arms outstretched, with a charming smile on the corner of his mouth, "Are you joking? There is no such woman."

He said disdainfully, to hide his true heart, "It's not that you don't know that I never fall in love with others. Women, tease them, wink at them, give them small gifts, and they will be like Cuscuta tangled up... What's wrong with your eyes, why are you blinking all the time?"

"I think he just wanted to remind you to stop your boasting." Danica's cold voice came from behind him, "So you are such a person, Mr. Heartthrob."

Tom turned his head to look at her stiffly, opened his mouth a few times, not knowing what to say.This was probably the worst moment of his life.

Danica threw the beautifully wrapped gift box into Alphard's arms, "Your birthday present, my father asked me to give it to you in advance." After she finished speaking, she turned and left without looking back.

Walburga Black, who brought Danica into the Slytherin common room, also looked at Tom and Alphard with a half-smile, and Abraxas, who was young but had hot fights with girls not far away. Malfoy.The red lips parted slightly, "Oh, man..."

After a few weeks, Tom found that Danica began to ignore him like a stranger, even though he waited at the intersection she must pass, sat next to her to read a book, and sheltered her tenderly... Tom almost He was about to grit his back molars, this stone-like woman really occupied all his thoughts, and he hadn't thought about the heir of Slytherin for a long time.

After Danica ignored his greeting once again in the library, Tom's pent-up anger exploded like a blown balloon, and his elegant and charming gentleman was completely gone.

His long legs hooked around the chair Danica was sitting on, pulling her away from the table, and he strode to sit on the table in front of her, throwing aside the book she had been reading. .

Tom finally showed his true colors, sinister and cold, his expression was gloomy, his hands were hard, his slender fingers pinched Danica's chin, he stared into her panicked eyes, his voice was hoarse and low, trying to suppress anger.

"Can't you just take your eyes off the damn book and take a look at me?"

The author has something to say:

1. The Danica here is not the Danica in the main text, but just a brain hole. What would happen if Danica and Voldemort met when they were students?The Danica here is not the mudblood whose parents both died, but the sole heir of the pure-blood noble Bulstrode family.I’m quite happy after writing it secretly, the noble lady who doesn’t like oil and salt × the sinister and cold poor boy, hehehe

2. The next book I want to write is the Spider-Man fan that I have always wanted to write, Spider-Man × Slytherin Girl, I will probably start writing from the part of Avengers 3, so stay tuned~

3. Thank you for your company and encouragement over the past four months, and thank you for sending me the nutrient solution and Bawang ticket.I look forward to each of your comments, it's a motivator for me, it really makes me happy to see how much people like Danica's story, and it makes me understand the joy of writing.I will continue to work hard to write better novels, see you in the comment area of ​​the next article!
