If he asked in such a rough voice, any other child would definitely be frightened. Fiona just glanced at him indifferently, turned her head, and continued to walk forward.

The gardener sat on the carriage and looked at her back silently for a while, shook the reins, turned around and chased after her.

"You're going to Little Hangleton? Where are your parents?"

Fiona ignored it.

The gardener was obviously not good at words, and fell silent after asking these few words.

He stopped talking to Fiona, and just drove beside her silently.

Walking all the way to the gap fence leading to Gaunt's old house, Fiona stopped, looked at the village in the distance, and looked at the woods on the right, as if she was not sure about the route.

She turned to the gardener, "Where did the Gaunts come from?"

When the gardener heard the word "Gaunt", his expression changed from numbness to surprise and fear. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the fence, and then quickly moved away as if they were hot.

Fiona knew the answer from his reaction, and regardless of what he was thinking, she pushed the fence and walked in.

The gardener opened his mouth and choked out a sentence for a long time: "Be careful, it's dangerous inside."

Seeing that the figure of the gardener was already hidden by the trees behind him, Gedian snorted, "Stupid Muggle, mind your own business! Is he following behind to protect you? With Gedian around, no one wants to hurt you." Miss Fiona."

"You can't be so full of words." Despite seeming to have unusual feelings for the house-elf, Fiona was quite independent when she spoke.

Gedian seemed to be touched to a sore spot, jumped up and shouted: "Master and Madam's orders Gedian cannot violate, this is not Gedian's original intention! Gedian never wanted to do such bad things to Miss Fiona , Gedian is in great pain!"

Seeing the house-elf's rolling tears, Fiona knelt down and patted its head.

"I can't comfort you, Gedian." She looked directly into its huge eyes, "In this world, there is no person who is not in pain—even if you can't be regarded as a human being. This world is made of pain."

Gedian sobbed, "I'm sorry, Miss Fiona, I don't understand you."

Fiona sighed slightly, and said to herself, "There is no one who can understand me."

Don't talk too much, little girl.thought Riddle.

One master and one servant continued to walk forward. When Fiona saw the dilapidated wooden house, she stopped and contemplated it for a while——as a child who was only six or seven years old, she revealed the expression when she was thinking. There is a kind of weirdness in the deep expression.

What is she thinking at this time?Riddle looked at her and thought.

Could it be lamenting the downfall of the descendants of Slytherin?Could it be how to deal with the people in the cabin?Why did she find it here?What had that house-elf done to her?

Riddle thought further and further, thinking about it, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

But what was wrong specifically, he couldn't find the source for a while, so he could only put it down for the time being, and followed Fiona into the wooden house.

In the room, Morfin was sleeping and snoring loudly. There were empty wine bottles around him. The smell of wine and other rotten food residues mixed into a smoky stench. Fiona frowned slightly and glanced at Gedian .

Gedian snapped his fingers knowingly, and a handful of water appeared out of nowhere and splashed on Morfin's face.

Morfin shuddered, yelled and sat up, cursing in Parseltongue while groping to his side with one hand, looking for the dagger that was close to him.

Fiona fixed his eyes, and he paused with a blank expression.

"You are Morfin Gaunt?"

"Yes, it's me."

Morfin answered in Parseltongue, which Fiona didn't understand, and added, "You had a sweet dream today, you're in a good mood, and you're about to get a free bottle of sherry, so you don't mind using it." Chat with the girl in front of you in English."

"Well, for sherry's sake—I haven't been this happy in a long time." Morfin said with a laugh, replacing his Parseltongue.

"You are Morfin Gaunt?"

"Of course, otherwise, who do you think the person talking to you is?"

"Where's your father?"

"Dead, died a long time ago, buried behind the house."

Fiona paused for a moment before continuing to ask, "Do you have a sister?"

"Merope? Don't mention her!" Morfin's expression became displeased. "After she elopes with that damn Muggle, she's not my sister anymore!"

"Muggle?" Fiona repeated the word, she lowered her eyes, the room was not well lit, Riddle was close to her, observing her with an almost obscene attitude, and only then did she catch her disappointment Also like a subtle emotion of frustration.

"If it wasn't for Muggles, with her face, which wizard would see her with her? That little white face with an empty face, what is it called? Tom Riddle? I heard that he has run away from her Come back, that fool, who can't even look down on a Muggle man, this is more embarrassing to our Gaunt family than elopement."

Fiona lost interest when she heard this, but she still asked casually, "Then where is your sister now?"

"Who knows where to hide and have fun with that wild man, this bitch!" He spat, "Stole all of Slytherin's lockets, she'd better not come back for the rest of her life, otherwise I will definitely kill her." Break her leg."

"Slytherin's locket?" Fiona asked with a little interest.

Morfin said triumphantly: "Yes, the treasure from one of the Big Four, Salazar Slytherin, only those of us who are his descendants and have maintained a pure blood are entitled to have it. And this-- "

He raised his hand and brightened the ring on his hand, "This is our family's ring, and its history may be as old as Hogwarts."

Fiona glanced at it, "What gem is it set on?"

"Gem?" Morfin sneered disdainfully, "How could it be that kind of useless thing! What's on it is—" He paused, thinking about it, "Resurrection stone? If I remember correctly. I'm always Dad said it was a very precious thing, even more than Slytherin's locket, luckily that bitch Merope didn't steal the ring."

Resurrection stone?

Riddle suddenly opened his eyes wide.

The ring is actually a resurrection stone!

Morfin, who has been living in the forest, doesn't know what the resurrection stone is, but it's impossible for Riddle and Fiona not to know.

Riddle is not interested in the Resurrection Stone itself, because the Resurrection Stone cannot resurrect himself, only others, but the Invisibility Cloak, the Resurrection Stone, and the Elder Wand, according to legend, if one can possess the three Deathly Hallows at the same time, one can conquer death!

He remembered Harry Potter's inexplicable death and resurrection in the final battle. Could it be because he possessed the three Deathly Hallows?

He thought that there should be only the Elder Wand left in the world, but he didn't expect the Resurrection Stone to be under his nose all the time. What about the Invisibility Cloak?Will it be close at hand?

Riddle couldn't help being excited.

Compared with him, Fiona only paid attention to the ring for two short seconds, and then ignored it as an ordinary glass ring.

She stared at Morfin and said, "Okay, you're tired now, you can continue your previous dream. My appearance is a fragment of your dream, and you will forget it when you wake up."

Morfin yawned and lay back on the bed, dripping wet.

Fiona glanced at Gedian again, who waved his hand, and the water stains on Morfin's body disappeared completely.

She walked out of the wooden house quietly as if she had never appeared before.

"Miss Fiona, shall I apparate you back now?" Gedian asked after coming out.

Fiona refused, "I'll go first."

Riddle thought she was trying to gather her thoughts.

Gedian looked up again and again uneasily at Fiona's expression - but it was always the same blank face.

It said anxiously: "Miss Fiona, don't be sad, this person is better, your mother must be a more noble and decent lady."

Fiona didn't look at it, and said lightly: "Our definition of nobility may not agree."

Gedian obviously still couldn't understand, it changed the subject, "Why don't you just ask Mr. Shafiq? He must know who your mother is."

Riddle is also wondering about this

Fiona didn't answer immediately, and when she was about to walk out of the woods, she said softly: "Because I'm also human."

What's the meaning?Riddle recalled her definition of human, ugly, painful?

When she stepped out of the fence outside the woods, Riddle and she saw the carriage parked outside, and the gardener was limping around the carriage, frowning.

After spotting Fiona's figure, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been worried about her safety.

He looked at Fiona hesitantly, and finally climbed into the carriage without asking any questions.

Fiona looked up at him, but said nothing.

She didn't hold him back, and she gave up Apparating, walking slowly back the way she had come.

Behind her, there was always a rumbling carriage.

Before being pulled out of this memory, Riddle finally realized what was wrong.

He hadn't thought of it until now, and expressed his hatred for Fiona who made his mission fail again!

24. Strategy No.20 Four-step standard, PUA

After being thrown out of Fiona's memory, Riddle felt the impact of inertia both mentally and physically. He quickly grabbed the handrail next to him so as not to fly out during the extremely fast turn of the Knight Bus.

"Ding. No one can go back to the past and start all over again, but everyone can start over from today.
