[HP] I won't do this Dark Lord

The relationship between Bill and Fiona has become a little closer, and they began to have superficial exchanges in private without anyone noticing.

After all, the favorability of more than 40 points is not added for nothing.

"Are you going to the Yardley's Christmas Eve dinner?"

In the Room of Requirement—a good place that Riddle took the initiative to share, so he earned another five favorability points—he pretended to ask casually.

Fiona, who was studying the book Riddle had pulled out of the Restricted Section, said simply, "No."

Riddle said with a little regret: "Without you, the banquet would be boring."

"To me, the occasion would have been boring without you," Fiona said, "and aren't you very good at having fun with that kind of boring stuff?"

Riddle understands why Fiona is unwilling to get in touch with people. With the way she speaks, it is easy to make enemies with anyone.

Riddle swallowed his anger and smiled, "Would you accept that boring Christmas gift from me who is boring?"

Fiona thought for a moment, "If you don't ask for the gift in return, I don't care."

Riddle was somewhat relieved.At least she didn't say no, which is considered an improvement.

"By the way, can you tell Foley to stop harassing me?" Riddle complained half-truthfully, "Dangling in front of my eyes all day, it affects my mood."

Fiona was unwilling to give up this little daily entertainment, and ruthlessly refused, "If it's really annoying, you can send it to your pet to make snacks."

This was a light provocation from Fiona, and of course Riddle couldn't have fallen for her trap.

Missing an alcoholic can still fool the past, and missing a pure-blood student - who is also the daughter of the Minister for Magic in power - then Hogwarts may face closure again.

Riddle found that Fiona's attitude towards Hogwarts was very indifferent, even though she always showed that she couldn't care for anything other than things that could provide her with fun, even he, who claimed to be ruthless, , I have a little bit of warmth for this alma mater.

In Fiona's eyes, the only value of this castle may be to provide her with a theater stage, which satisfies her little hobby of watching plays quietly.If this stage collapses, she will feel sorry, but she will not have any nostalgia.

Realizing this, Riddle felt a sharp increase in pressure.

He had a vague feeling that the next [-] favorability points might be a more difficult struggle than controlling the magic world.

Riddle wanted to discover the reasons for Fiona's personality, but he was also worried that this might be a restricted area, like the gaze of a basilisk, which could kill upon touching.

No, he was still immune to the gaze of the basilisk, but he couldn't be immune to Fiona's loss of favorability, so he didn't rashly start this dangerous topic.

The Christmas holiday finally came, and on the train back, Riddle was invited by Abraxas to the prefect's box.

Although there was no clue that he had caused Pringle's disappearance, after that incident, Abraxas' attitude towards him was vaguely more attentive.

It has to be said that the Malfoy family is as sensitive to wealth and power as Niu Niu, which is the main reason for their long-term prosperity in the magic world.

This can even be regarded as a family talent passed down in the blood.

In the middle of talking and laughing, Riddle suddenly heard a reminder that his favorability has increased a little, and immediately impatiently continued to play house games with those immature children.

He found a reason to leave the box to find Fiona, even if it was just a little bit, he would try his best to understand the reason for her change of mood.

Walking to the rear of the train, Riddle spotted Fiona.

It's just that there is actually another person in the box besides Tiffany who is a tool man.

— Alphard Black.

Riddle narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tiffany was sleeping with her head on one side, which must have been Fiona's order.In other words, she didn't want Tiffany to disturb her conversation with Alphard, otherwise she should use Tiffany's mouth to drive Alphard out.

What can the two of them have to say?And Alphard actually made Fiona feel better and benefited him, what method did he use?

Just as Riddle was about to eavesdrop on their chat by recognizing lip movements, Fiona spotted him outside the box.

She glanced at him lightly, pretending not to see, and continued talking to Alphard.

Riddle: "..."

Although he knew that she had this character, Riddle was still very upset.

As for what he was upset about, he didn't figure it out for a while - after all, the Dark Lord never had to think about why he was unhappy before, he was only responsible for making others unhappy.

The hateful thing is that he still has to cheer up those who make him unhappy.

So Riddle smiled at Fiona through the glass sliding door of the box, gave her a "have fun" look, and turned away before Alphard saw him.

"Mr. Riddle." The system said.

"If I tell you to shut up now, can you stop talking?" Riddle knew that the system must have something bad to say.

It's just that the system is as hateful as Fiona.

It ignored Riddle's words and continued: "Shall I give you a present for Christmas?"

"...What?" Riddle didn't believe it would be so kind.

"How about a bright green hat?"

Although he didn't know what the system meant, Riddle still refused and said, "Thank you, you can wear it yourself."

After the train arrived at the station, Riddle paid attention and found that it was her father who came to pick Fiona up. He looked a little more haggard than the last time he came to see Fiona off, and there were obvious wrinkles on the gray-green robe. , and his eyes were dull.

But when he saw Fiona, he immediately squeezed out an eager smile and eagerly greeted her.

There were many people on the platform, and Riddle couldn't see whether the slight dissonance in Atheled Shafik was really due to his own emotions or whether it was also controlled by Fiona.

It wasn't until Fiona's gray hair disappeared on the platform that Riddle withdrew his attention and turned to the Lestranges who were listening to Yardley's introduction.

Yardley's father was a stern, prim man whose manner looked like a piece of marble handed down from the last century, but whose decency would be comical if one knew of his profligate private life. ridiculous.

His wife is an extremely orthodox pure-blood family hostess, with a pretentious elegance and a snobbish eye above the top, hiding a measured and harsh kindness and friendliness, as boring as the vulgar perfume smell on her body.

However, just because her maiden name is Shafiq, Riddle is still willing to spend a little more effort to say something nice to please her.

Soon, after he bluntly and sincerely praised how luxurious and shiny the ruby ​​necklace on her neck was, how exquisite and delicate the lace ribbon was on her skirt, and how beautiful and charming her girlish face was, Lai Mrs. Strange was more affectionate to this handsome and pretty boy than to her own son.

She enthusiastically asked Yardley to take him to have fun in the manor, and if you need anything, just mention it.

Yardley muttered, "Merlin's foot wipe, is there any woman in the world who won't fall in love with you?"

your sister.Riddle said with a smile in his heart.

The Lestrange family's manor is still a bit smaller than the Malfoy family's, and the decoration is also a bit rough and quaint, obviously it hasn't been renovated for a long time.

This was normal, and if every pure-blood family was as rich as the Malfoys, they wouldn't need to work for him.

But Riddle still praised earnestly without showing any compliment.

Especially the raven crest on the copper-plated gate. After he lamented the long history it represented, he naturally talked to Mr. Lestrange about the branch of their family in France, and the characters on the genealogy He and his deeds are so rare, and his French is as fluent as his mother tongue, which made Yardley dumbfounded.

So after Mrs. Lestrange, Mr. Lestrange also looked at Riddle differently.

Yardley felt that if Riddle would change his name to Lestrange, he might be kicked out of the house on the spot.

After a week at Lestrange's house, the day of the Christmas Eve dinner soon came.

Riddle had ordered a complete set of dresses at the Outer Clothes Shop two days ago—the accompanying Mrs. Lestrange rushed to pay him, and even gave him matching decorations.

Before the banquet started, the glamorous, elegant and calm Riddle was introduced by the Lestrange couple as a guest, but he looked more like the young master of the Lestrange family than Yardley next to him.

Some people even wondered if he was Mr. Lestrange's illegitimate son outside.

But they quickly dispelled this suspicion.

"If Lestrange can give birth to this kind of son," a middle-aged man sarcastically sarcastically, "it must be because his lover thinks he is not brave enough." The subtext is another object of affair.

The person next to him laughed and said, "I think you're jealous of other people's sons, Orpington."

Orpington, who finally grew old, snorted lightly, "If I have such a son, I probably won't be able to sleep well."

Riddle vaguely heard a few words, looked over, and found that the families who did not obey him later passed them indifferently.

Anyway, there are not many people who can survive inside, so there is no need to care.

After the banquet officially started, Riddle and Yardley, who were still children, were not suitable to appear again. Riddle urged Yardley to slip out and take him to find Fiona, but unfortunately he failed to fool him this time.

Yardley shook his head
