mystery lover

In the south of France, in a manor that is difficult for ordinary people to find, Mrs. Le May looked at this wizard who appeared in her yard out of thin air with some surprise.Before that, Hetty Perenelle Flamel was drinking the pot of mint tea that her husband Nicolas had made for her before entering the laboratory under the vine in the yard.

So, when a strange wave of magic power appeared in the area where the barrier should have been set up, Hetty stood up vigilantly from the chair, and the originally relaxed atmosphere dissipated instantly.But when the lady saw that the wizard who had broken into her house was only a young man with a pale face almost out of strength, Madame LeMay almost immediately cried out through the connection with her husband.

"Nicholas—here's a wounded child!"

Osted struggled to support his body, and there were bursts of noise in his ears. When the boy's eyes focused on the surrounding things, Osted looked at the lady in front of him and supported him by the other hand. body.

Before closing his eyes, the young man said weakly, "Madame LeMay..."

Hetty, who checked the boy's physical condition more carefully because of this title, soon found the school uniform under the cloak, looked at the prominent mark on the boy's chest, and when her husband Nicholas finally ran out of the house, Flamel Madam was still searching in her mind whose family the boy in front of her could be, a strange teenager who could recognize her in a Hogwarts Slytherin uniform.

You know, since Hetty married Nicholas, after decades of leisure but not boring life, she has rarely had contact with the family in Germany, and this boy is obviously from England.

"This is..." After using the floating spell to move Oster to the bed in the room and lie down, Nicholas quickly discovered the stone worn by the boy under the school uniform.

The expression of the old wizard became serious. After carefully pouring the boy with the potion stored in the manor, Nicholas cast a few spells on Oster's side and left the room together with Hetty who was waiting beside him. .

"Niger, how is he?" Hetty, who had been observing her husband's expression, asked only when she was walking in the corridor with her husband.

"Let's wait until he wakes up." Nicholas shook his head.

He also didn't know how the boy broke through the magic barrier outside the manor and came in. It's just the power fluctuations and the stone left on the boy... he can only wait for the boy to wake up.

*****

Hogwarts in June [-].

"Riddle, hey—wake up, Riddle."

In a dormitory in Slytherin, a first-year student was impatiently urging the black-haired boy on the bed opposite him, who rarely stayed in bed.

If it wasn't for borrowing Riddle's notes to prepare for the final exam that would come next week, Gavin Lawrence would never have the time to worry about whether his roommate would be late for the morning class.

"Well……"

On the bed, the boy's brows were tightly furrowed, and his childish face was covered with sweat.

After an unbearable 'clear spring like water' from Lawrence, the boy named Riddle suddenly opened his eyes.

For a moment, the blackness in the boy's eyes made Gavin, who was standing by the bed, who was about to make fun of Riddle, feel cold for no reason, but soon, the boy awakened by the spell had already got up as usual.

After taking care of it, Riddle said lightly to the roommate beside him, "Let's go."

Gavin followed closely beside the black-haired boy. After walking out of the dormitory, the 11-year-old boy comforted himself thinking that he was probably hallucinating just now, otherwise how could he be afraid of a kid from the Muggle world.Although his roommate named Tom Riddle has always had good grades, it can be seen from the praise of the professors and the homework that always gets O.

However, thinking of this, Gavin glanced at Riddle's old school robe and the second-hand textbook in his hand, and then looked at the boy's pale but delicate face.Gavin turned his gaze a little arrogantly.

As a pure-blood, he was able to reluctantly 'accept' this roommate, which was already a great favor for Riddle.

You know, in Slytherin, no matter how good your grades are, it's not very useful.Like Riddle, it looks like a half-blood wizard from a poor family.And Slytherin, who advocates pure blood and strength, never welcomes these humble existences.

As Gavin thought about it, the arrogance in his heart became even worse. The boy thought that borrowing Riddle's notes was also a kind of charity for his half-race roommate.

On the other side, Riddle sneered at Lawrence's scrutiny that he thought he had hidden well, and an imperceptible coldness flashed in his black eyes that had been staring ahead, but when he thought of the nightmare that made him almost miss breakfast in the morning, The young man meditated silently.

Does a person appear in a person's dream who he has never seen before?Riddle thought.

*****

When Orster opened his eyes again, it was already a week later. These days, the Lemays fed the boy with potions to restore his body every day. After taking off the boy's school robe, Hetty felt very natural. Suddenly found the inconspicuous but exquisite family medal on the reverse side of the cuff.

So after the third day of Oster's coma, the pair of old wizards had preliminarily confirmed his identity.It's just that this also made Nicholas and Heidi feel puzzled. After all, they had never heard of a child of such an age in the Castel family in England. Just when Nicholas was about to write a letter to ask the current Castel When he was the patriarch of the Yi family, an amazing accident happened again.

The master alchemist discovered that the descriptions related to this boy seemed to be restricted by a force. In fact, after many attempts, Nicholas also discovered some rules to follow.In short, it seems that everything has to wait for this enigmatic boy to wake up first.

So on this day, when Oster stood up with support, he was already supported by a pair of old but powerful palms.

"Hello, kid."

"Mr. Flamel?" With the help of the other party, after leaning against the head of the bed, Oster looked at the two old wizards beside the bed.

"You know me?" Nicholas also wanted to know the reason why the other party could recognize him and his wife directly. After all, he and his wife had hardly appeared in public.

Because of Nicholas' rhetorical question, Oster was obviously taken aback, "Sir, we met half a year ago, don't you remember? That Christmas holiday." The other party's reaction seemed to be that he really didn't remember himself. This made Oster wonder for a moment whether his memory was confused when he was hunted down by Death Eaters.

In the room, Nicholas and Hetty looked at each other obviously because of the boy's words, because they knew very well that the two of them spent the last Christmas holiday on a ranch in Sweden, and at that time it was just the two of them, there was no It is impossible to meet this boy.

"By the way..." Oster thought of the Sorcerer's Stone, and the boy took the stone that was still hanging on his chest from his neck, and handed it to the old wizard, "This is the magic you gave me Shi, you... really don't remember?"

After taking over the gem from the young man, before Oster woke up, Nicholas had already looked at this stone with strange power, but he was not very sure at the time. After hearing what the young man said, Nicholas was almost a little bit confused. Said in a voiceless voice.

"The Philosopher's Stone?!" Lifting the stone to the level of his line of sight, feeling the traces of magic remaining on it, the old wizard looked at the boy on the bed with a complicated expression, "Son, do you think I gave it to you? "

"Yes." Oster nodded, seeming a little nervous, "Is there any problem... sir?"

"Son, may I ask, are you from the Castei family?" Nicholas already had a guess in his heart, but he was not quite sure yet.

"Of course!" Oster replied quickly, but the young man seemed to have thought of something painful, and his face became even paler after recovering, "Castei... probably gone now... the black The Demon Lord destroyed it."

"Dark Lord?" Nicholas consumed the words in the boy's mouth, "Greenwald?"

"What?" Hearing this unfamiliar name but known to the entire wizarding world, the boy shook his head strangely, not understanding why Mr. Flamel mentioned this German Dark Lord who had been imprisoned in Nurmengard. .

Nicholas stared at the doubts in the young man's eyes. Such doubts seemed to have existed since their conversation. Obviously, if it wasn't that there was a problem with their respective understandings, then something was essentially disconnected.

"Child, do you know what year it is?" Nicholas put down the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, maybe he can determine what caused the remaining fluctuations on this gemstone.

"1971, sir."

Hearing Oster's answer, Nicholas didn't seem to be too surprised. After exchanging glances with his wife beside him, the old wizard's tone was very gentle, "Can we know your name?"

"Oster-Oster Kasdeil."

"Then, Oster, I think I have to tell you something that you may not be able to accept temporarily." Nicholas said, with a hint of apology in his tone.

"What's that?" Oster was very afraid to learn from the other party that the Castei family had been completely destroyed by the Dark Lord, although it seemed that it was almost the same now.

"Children, we are not in 1971. In fact, the current time is actually June 1939. I think you should have traveled in time, and the reason why you are here is—it."

Nicholas said, and put the Philosopher's Stone back into the boy's hand.
