Chapter 37 Pauline & Tom

-3-

On the second Thursday in November 1940, when Hogwarts students struggled to get out of the warm blankets and walked into the auditorium against the bleak wind, two huge gossips hit their heads.

First gossip: just last night, the hourglasses of Ravenclaw and Slytherin quietly lost fifty points.

Experienced students immediately knew that someone was caught traveling at night.

For a moment, the Eagle Snake had a ferocious expression and fierce eyes, and the Badger Lion had bright eyes and high spirits. Everyone was gearing up to find out who these two hapless creatures were.

On this issue, they did waste a little time, after all, no one will make a big splash before the night tour, but this session was deadlocked for 10 minutes, and finally ended with a compromise from an insider - via Ravenclaw's female prefect With just a few words from Audrey and an unnamed roommate of Slytherin, the Hogwarts students quickly recovered the truth about the "mystery of the mysterious disappearance of fifty eagles and snakes".

The truth is shocking!

Just yesterday, an eagle and a snake, Pauline Sweet and Tom Riddle, who were privately called the lights of the house by the Hogwarts students, and possessed extraordinary looks, powerful talents, and great popularity, They even carried out night tour activities by coincidence, and were caught by coincidence!

This news shocked the pupils even more than the deduction itself.

"Did they go on a date last night?!" an unnamed Hufflepuff gossip blurted out in the silence, "Merlin — when did they get together?!"

This sentence was like turning on some strange button, and the auditorium exploded in an instant.

When Riddle walked into the auditorium, what he saw was this grand occasion where everyone's eyes were shining and gossiping.

Facing the strange and eager gaze of most of the auditorium with a blank face, he walked indifferently to the long Slytherin table and sat down. In Del's cold eyes, he also showed amazing courage that he had never had in his life, and insisted on asking the question that everyone wanted to know——

"When were you and Sweet together?"

Riddle choked violently.

He raised his head, looked at his roommate who was only tall but not brainy, and said in a dry tone, "What do you say about me and Sweet?"

"You guys went on a date last night!" The roommate's eyes lit up, "Good guy, Tom, I knew that if anyone in Hogwarts could be the first to date Sweet, it must be you! "

For the first time, Riddle found Hogwarts' pumpkin bread so unpalatable.

However, when the clock pointed to [-]:[-], and Pauline Sweet's slender and straight figure finally appeared at the door of the auditorium, Riddle pushed away the empty plate expressionlessly, and grabbed the schoolbag vigorously. With excited eyes, he walked towards the long table of Ravenclaw, politely asked Pauline Sweet's roommate if he could change the seat with a smile on his face, and then sat down directly without any politeness.

——This constitutes the second shocking gossip of this tumultuous morning.

"Merlin, they are really together!!"

Maybe only the person involved doesn't think so.

Riddle sat quietly at the long Ravenclaw table, ignoring the furtive glances around him, watching in silence as Pauline calmly picked up the buns, spread matcha sauce, milk With a little rose juice, enjoy her breakfast as if she didn't see anyone around her at all.

"There are still 10 minutes to class." He said blankly.

Pauline finally seemed to realize that the person next to him was him, she paused for a moment, tilted her head to look at him, and asked knowingly, "Then why haven't you gone to the classroom yet?"

Because his wand was still in her hand.

Riddle looked at Pauline coldly. He knew she was provoking him on purpose, to make him humiliately admit in front of others that she had taken his wand from her. She got it.

"I'll wait for you to go together." He said quietly.

The little wizards who were still lingering around let out sighs of satisfaction and excitement.

Pauline seemed to have finally realized that something was wrong with their classmates. She looked around suspiciously, but as far as she could see, everyone who was still in the auditorium quickly put their heads down and pretended to be the only morsel of bread left on their plates. How attractive.She is baffled.

She came too late, unlike Riddle who had listened to the gossip about the two of them that people thought they were whispering for at least half an hour. ", only thought that their weirdness was because Riddle suddenly came to her.

"What are you waiting for me?" She looked around and couldn't come up with an answer. She was a little suspicious, but she didn't take it to heart. She continued to look at Riddle and teased him, "I don't want to go today, so are you skipping class with me?"

Riddle rubbed his hand hanging in his sleeve slightly, but of course he found nothing—since the disarming spell last night, his wand had been in Pauline's hand, which also constituted Riddle's inability to The reason for not coming to her.

He looked at her blankly.

Pauline looked at him with a wide smile.

She is really born with the looks of a big star, even if someone asks her to make a movie one day, it is not surprising at all.

But Riddle only thought she was hideous.

He looked at Pauline coldly, as if weighing her, and at last he moved, and the coldness on his face gradually faded.

Riddle said in a polite manner, "For a wizard of your talent, the history of magic is really not worth attending, Pauline, if you want, maybe we can take a moment to chat, I want to apologize to you for my faux pas last night."

No one can find fault with his words, but for those who are willing to gossip, it is enough to make people daydream.

"They really had a date last night!" An unknown badger whispered to a classmate, "It's real!"

It was evident that Pauline was taken aback this time.

She looked at him suspiciously, she didn't seem to believe that Riddle would feel sorry for her at all, his politeness was like a joke in her eyes, but she was surprised by how easily he subdued, "You can That surprises me, Tom," she said slowly, eyeing Riddle.

"If you really feel sorry for me, remember to do more work for me during confinement tonight." Pauline looked at him with a half-smile, "Tom, I'm not the kind of silly girl who will be deceived by sweet words , you have to really pay something in exchange for what you want from me."

After being caught by Professor Dumbledore for night travel, in addition to the penalty of fifty points deducted from each college, the two of them had to accept an additional week of confinement, and they did not use magic to help the administrator clean up the castle.

Of course she didn't mean anything, but for those who are willing to gossip, everything has meaning.

"They must have kissed last night! Riddle is not skilled enough, Pauline plans to break up with him!" an unknown lion cub vowed.

Riddle's dark eyes gazed deeply at Pauline, but she just twisted her hair around her fingertips and played with it slowly.

"Of course," he said, ambiguously, "very reasonable."

In fact, he only said four words, but for those who are willing to gossip, everything has come to light.

"Hiss—" an unknown roommate from the Snake Academy gasped, "Since when has Riddle been so considerate to others?"

"Merlin," he said heartbroken, "he really loves her so much!!"
