One thing to be thankful for. ’ she said with a smile, ‘I started looking forward to that day. "

"Ding. Add 2 to the favorability of the target, and the current favorability is 90."

"Trigger the achievement 'Go Deeper'."

"Save point overwritten."

Before Riddle had time to be ecstatic, the system beeped again.

"The favorability of the target is reduced by 1, and the current favorability is 89."

Riddle: "..."

"Ding. Add 1 to the favorability of the target, and the current favorability is 90."

Riddle: "..."

Amidst the repeated broadcasts, Riddle slowly put a question mark in his heart.

"System, are you sick, or is she sick?"

The system affirmed: "Of course you are sick."

46. ​​Raiders No.40 Six-step funeral, don’t talk

Since entering Hogwarts, Riddle has always attracted the attention of the teachers and students of the whole school.

Tall, handsome, and personable, Abraxas Malfoy, who was always proud of his appearance, avoided walking next to this student who was several years younger than him, lest he be overshadowed by the comparison.

It doesn't look like much effort to learn, but the homework is so good that the professor can't wait to set an F on top of the O——Flawless, perfect, flawless, and impeccable.

Quidditch's skills are not so much superb as in fancy slinging opponents in the game. It is said that both the Welsh Quidditch team and the England Quidditch team have invited him to join.

No matter what he did, he seemed to be confident and calm as if he had rehearsed it in his mind in advance. Even if he was entangled by Tiffany Foley, he would deal with it gracefully and never showed any gaffes.

Such a perfect person can be liked regardless of college, gender or age. As long as they have seen him, almost no one will not have a good impression of him, and many people fanatically yearn for him, admire him, and worship him .

— If only I could sleep with him before graduation.

This is a sentiment that is often heard when discussing him behind his back.

However, what surprised people was that without any signs or symptoms, Riddle, who kept a normal social distance with all the girls, suddenly got together with a girl.

Fiona Shafik.

Who?

There is such a person in Slytherin?

Everyone talked a lot and looked at her with a magnifying glass.

His appearance is not bad, but his complexion is pale, his expression is sparse, his temperament is rather dull, his hair color is also strange, his body is thin and short, and there is a huge contrast with the tall and straight Riddle.

Her grades are average, Quidditch is a disaster, she has a dull and weird personality, and she doesn't talk to anyone very much.

No matter how kind a person is, if he doesn't say anything, he is still thinking in his heart—it's not a good match, it's really not a good match.

And had the two of them talked before that?Who ever saw them alone together?

As Riddle's roommate and Fiona's cousin, Yardley has been under a lot of pressure and grievances recently.

Since the heroine in the rumors was in misfortune, it was not easy to bother, everyone turned to him and questioned him, even if he said "I don't know" a hundred times, no one believed it - including his girlfriend.

"Crianna and I had a big fight, saying that I didn't trust her, and I didn't disclose any information to her. She didn't know anything when asked, and it was embarrassing."

On the long table in Slytherin, Yardley and Avery complained bitterly, "If I really know something, don't talk about her, can I not tell you?"

Avery nodded, "She doesn't know you too well, don't say you really know, even if you just guessed it yourself, our entire college should know it too."

Yardley: "...Thank you for believing in me."

"You're welcome, anyway, rather than trusting you, it's better to say that I believe that when your roommate wants to hide something, there is really no way for others to find out the slightest bit."

Unlike the bluffing Yardley, Avery, who is a year ahead of him, is deeper and more thoughtful.

"It's not a question of how they came together," he said, staring at Riddle, who was sorting endive and arugula out of the salad—clearly the girl next to him didn't like those two things in the salad, " It’s about why they kept it so secret before, and why they made it public all of a sudden.”

"Tom said it was Fiona who didn't like the attention."

"Oh? I'm not sure, do you think she has this character?"

Yardley hesitated: "It should be... She really doesn't like dealing with others. Isn't that why she has been inconspicuous?"

"Here comes the new question," Avery propped his chin with one hand, watching the ordinary girl take a fork of a cherry cherry and took a delicate bite, "How does such an ordinary girl attract her?" Tom, and made him wholly subject to her will."

After a moment of silence, Yardley asked softly, "What do you mean? If you say it's a love potion, more than one person has secretly added the antidote to his food."

Of course, without exception, he was discovered.

Seemingly noticing Avery's scrutiny, Fiona turned her head to accurately find the source of her gaze, stared at him for two seconds, then smiled shyly and lowered her head.

Raising his eyebrows, Avery also looked away, "If he can take the love potion, Foley can hold his arm in the first grade. I believe that this Shafik is indeed unusual and unhuman. Strange things known."

Is it particularly scary?

Yardley blinked, but said nothing.He intuited that Avery was probing too much on this matter, which was a bit strange.

Seemingly aware of his concealment, Avery glanced at him with a half-smile, "Look, you are not trustworthy."

The murmurs in the hearts of a few people could not stop most people from being touched by Riddle's tenderness and affection for his lover. Even his slightly haggard face recently became proof that he was worried about his girlfriend and was fascinated by her.

As for the facts, it can't be said that it's wrong, after all, Riddle did think about Fiona day and night during this time.

"Ding. The favorability of the target is reduced by 1, and the current favorability is 89."

"Ding. Add 1 to the favorability of the target, and the current favorability is 90."

"Ding……"

In my mind, the system's broadcast sound has not stopped since that day.

People's ability to adapt, or Riddle's ability to adapt is always amazingly strong. After experiencing the initial mania and rage, when he was frequently awakened by the sound of the system at night, he wanted to rush out to find Fiona and die together. I can calmly ignore the sound like a ghost curse as the ticking of a pendulum.

He asked the system how to stop the voice, and the system took the time to say that Fiona is now such a mentality wavering on the threshold, and only when she clarifies her thoughts, the favorability will stop fluctuating.

Riddle was a little puzzled, "What the hell is she swaying?"

Seemingly enjoying watching him suffering recently, the system kindly said: "When the favorability reaches [-], it enters the category of love. Do you know how many people in the world can't reach this level of love in their lifetime? Oh , I forgot, you never loved, of course you don’t know.”

"Oh..." Riddle said slowly, "You mean, she's hesitating about loving me?"

The system gave a mocking "hehe", "Mr. Riddle, if love can be hesitated, there will not be many people in the world who would choose to love."

"Why?" Riddle couldn't help asking.

"Isn't it better to ask yourself this question?"

Riddle was silent.

He didn't ask himself, he was not that interested in this question, and he didn't want to get any answer from himself.

Before Halloween, Riddle accompanied Fiona to Cordelia's funeral.

The funeral was held in the church in Godric's Hollow, and Ethelred was insane, and of course the Lestrange couple presided over the funeral.

Regardless of whether it was because of the Lestrange couple or the surname Shafik as one of the 28 pure-blood families, let alone a bit of status, there were quite a few pure-blood families who came to the funeral.

The Malfoy family with the iconic platinum-blond hair, the Potter family that made his wand ready to move, the Orpington family that was wiped out by the Death Eaters, and the Black family with many family members.

Glancing at Alphard who was about to come over to talk to Fiona but was stopped by Madam Black's cough, Riddle sneered coldly in his heart.

Looking at Fiona, who was not drifting in the wind, he relaxed again with satisfaction.

During the funeral, although Mrs. Lestrange did not cry hoarsely, she wept silently from the beginning to the end, and the way she suppressed sobbing made people feel sympathetic.Yardley, too, had red eyes and sniffed as he threw the roses on the coffin.

Compared with them, Fiona, who has always been expressionless and never shed a tear, looks chillingly indifferent.

With her excellent acting skills, it's easy to fool her, but Riddle knows that disguising herself is just a way for her to have fun, not to put herself on stage to achieve a certain purpose or not to cause criticism, Show eyebrows and draw eyes for others to see.

In a way, she is quite stubborn and arrogant.

From another perspective, it is too childish and naive.

She was too lazy to pretend, and Riddle had to help her describe it-he didn't like the veiled eyes of those people flying around Fiona's head.

"You really don't have to be so hypocritical, don't you want to protest against someone?" the system mercilessly revealed.

Of course Riddle ignored it.

He held Fiona's shoulders and let her lean into his arms, blocking the prying eyes around her, and lowered his head so that the people next to him could hear her.
