Thinking of that eccentric cousin, Yardley couldn't help but lost his mind.

Since the beginning of the fourth grade more than 20 years ago, Fiona has never been seen again.At the same time, Riddle seemed too lazy to maintain a friendly mask, and began to reveal the cold and strong side of his character.

Although Yardley noticed early on that Riddle's true face was more cruel than what he showed to those close to him, but when Riddle really stopped smiling gently, his eyes turned from being kind to others. Because of the coldness, he shivered like a frog feeling the first ray of cold wind, and couldn't help but want to dig a hole to hibernate to avoid the cold.

But no one in the school questioned or disgusted Riddle's change. On the contrary, everyone forgiven his gloom and alienation with great tolerance.They looked at him tenderly, pitifully, and distressedly, like looking at a frail cub who lost its parents, and sighed in private: A perfect person always has to accept the heaviest blow of fate, which is to take away his life. spouse.

During that time, those who had only had some liking and admiration for Riddle—regardless of gender—almost all went mad for him.

Is there anything more worthy of giving unreservedly than a melancholy and beautiful man who has lost his love, and pouring out all his enthusiasm to comfort the loved one?

It's hardly about saving a downhearted person, it's about being a hero saving a dying world.

Witnessed Yardley, who went on and on, men and women: "..."

He was both shocked and bewildered.

Are you serious?Open your eyes and see clearly, is that someone who needs your sympathy, not wariness and staying away?You know, distressing without discernment is like asking a passing devil to drink water, and kindness without reason will only bring disaster-like misfortune to yourself!

Sure enough, at a Christmas celebration, two girls performing the pantomime "Fountain of Luck" suddenly had a duel on the stage, which accidentally sparked a fire that affected many people.

These two girls, one is Tiffany from Slytherin, and the other is Mirissa from Ravenclaw, they happen to be the two most entangled with Riddle.

In the confusion, Yardley reflexively looked at Riddle next to him, and saw that the surprise on his face was just right, but there was still a regretful smile on his lips.

Yardley shivered again.

How come everyone is sure that Fiona must have died of illness?he thinks.

Why didn't anyone guess—she was killed by Riddle?

The thought had only passed through Yardley's mind at the time, but it would pop up now and again over the years when he met Riddle's eyes.

I can't tell the reason, maybe it's because during the few days when Riddle's emotions were the most chaotic, he showed fear and anxiety rather than sorrow and grief. There was someone who had passed away that he mourned deeply.

Or it may be that Yardley has always found it hard to believe that Riddle, who only takes advantage of everyone and shows no warmth in his body, will truly fall in love with someone for a long time.

Afterwards, Riddle quickly sorted out his emotions and never gave anyone a chance to pry into his mind, but the disharmony that Yardley felt in those few days was always like a thorn in his heart, occasionally gently Prick him hard to remind him that the person who disappeared without a sound was not only Riddle's lover, but also his cousin.

In the year of graduation, Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, and the whole world celebrated for a while. Dumbledore was promoted to the altar. For at least a few months, the headlines of the newspapers every day were Dumbledore turning his head, close your eyes.No one cared why he didn't smile triumphantly and instead looked stiff and depressed, or that his hair and beard were fading like a Muggle stop-motion animation, just as no one noticed that Riddle had completely faded after graduation. Lost audio.

Yardley had written to him during the period, but he probably cast a shielding spell on himself, and the owl couldn't find him.

About a year later, when Dumbledore's aura began to fade, and people gradually got tired of this constant topic and yearned for new excitement, Riddle was bundled up like a Mexican "Damar". A string of black wizards began to show off their heads with an explosive force, opening up a new era that belonged to him.

until now.

Covering his heart unconsciously, Yardley heard Walburga's voice not far away: "Aren't you coming in, Yardley?"

He regained consciousness and found that he had reached the steps of the main mansion, and Walburga was standing at the door and looking back at him.

"Oh, I was distracted," Yardley said briskly, with a smile on his face, "I thought of Rodolphs and Rabastan, I was supposed to pick them up at the train station today for their summer vacation, and they probably wouldn't be happy if they didn't see me gone."

The probing eyes flicked around his lowered hand. Walburga obviously didn't believe his words, but she still let go of her usual airs and said cooperatively: "I don't know about Rabastan, but Rodolphus If Bella is here, I don't think he will mind if you show up."

"Labastan told me that Bella completely ignored Rodolphus at school, and Rodolfos, that silly boy, was even angry with Bella's roommate because of it, blaming her for attracting Bella's attention too much." Yade Li shook his head and sighed, "Even if he is my son, I have to say, as far as his dull and boring character is concerned, it's no wonder that Bella can take a fancy to him."

"I seem to have heard Bella say that her roommate is graduating this year, and it seems that Rodolphs doesn't have to worry about it anymore," Walburga smiled, and said meaningfully: "And who knows what will happen in the future?" Are you sure? Rodolphus is calm and dignified, he should be the prefect of Slytherin when school starts after summer vacation, my brother has always been very optimistic about him."

Yardley laughed, "Kids these days don't want adults to control them too much. I hope Rodolphs can win."

After entering the door, the two of them stopped talking, walked solemnly through the wide hall and aisle, and came to the room where the meeting was held regularly.Yardley pushed open the heavy wooden door, and there was a long table with exquisite materials and patterns in the huge room. The long table was almost full of people, and the main seat directly in front of the fireplace was still empty. It shows that the two people who just came in are not late.

Yardley took the first seat to the right of the main seat according to the fixed position in the past, and Walburga sat behind Abraxas, who was a seat away from Yardley.

Yardley first smiled and nodded to Peritus and Cheryl who were facing him—Cheryl replied with a dignified smile and nod. Peritus naturally ignored him, repeating his words over and over again like obsessive-compulsive disorder. Smoothing out the wrinkles in his white gloves.Then he turned his head to greet Josephine, who politely pushed down her glasses.

Not a single person to speak to.Yardley sighed inwardly, quite alone.

At this time, he would rather sit with Walburga or Abraxas, at least these two people could be regarded as the same kind of people who could talk normally.

A whole wall of low windows made the room very bright. Behind the long table, several people with good relations were talking softly. The atmosphere was not depressing, but everyone, including Yardley, was haunted by With a slight sense of tension, his eyes drifted to the closed heavy wooden door intentionally or unintentionally, waiting for the person who hadn't shown up for a long time.

Yardley took out his pocket watch to check the time, when the cover of the watch popped open, Cheryl and Peretus stood up at the same time, in no particular order, and the others followed closely behind, brushing He stood up and turned towards the door.Yardley hastily stuffed his pocket watch back into his cloak, and before he had time to take another look at the opened door, he followed the crowd to salute.

"My lord." Nearly 20 people said in unison.

The approaching footsteps were very light, almost hard to catch in the silence that filled the room, and they were very slow. Yardley consciously bent over for five seconds before he heard the chair of the chief seat being gently moved. The sound of pulling away.

It wasn't quite Riddle's usual pace.Although he walks in a leisurely manner, his legs are long and his strides are long, and it only takes three seconds at most to walk from the door.

Suspiciously, Yardley looked up.

stay still.

The person sitting on the high back chair was not the tall and straight man he thought, but a strange girl!

He blinked blankly to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He turned his head in a trance and saw Peretus on the opposite side with a calm expression. Obviously, he had expected this scene, and Cheryl behind him showed a bit The shock, but what seemed to be realized quickly, turned into a forced calm of excitement and anticipation.

They both definitely know something.

However, shouldn't he be the most trusted confidant?Why is he completely confused about the current situation like a fool!

Yardley panicked.Although he has been slandering his false status, he actually enjoys this respectable appearance very much. Even if he knows it's just a castle in the air, he doesn't want to fall from it at all!

Resisting the urge to look back at other people's reactions, Yardley pretended to be confident and steady, and his eyes once again fell on the exclusive seat in front of him, which symbolized supreme power and noble status.

The girl who focused everyone's attention didn't have any embarrassment, and sat there calmly, with an expression similar to Riddle's indifference, but her eyes were more distant than his, as if standing in front of her was not a group of living people, but two people. Row the squash.

She looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, not tall, with a light body, fair and delicate skin,
