Privacy scandal?

Riddle immediately thought of himself.

He studied the genealogy of the wizard family in order to find out his own life experience. Could it be that she also had the same purpose?

This guess made Riddle feel a little weird.

He frowned and continued to think.

What was her special ability against him that night?She didn't need a magic wand, and she didn't chant spells. At her age, even if she was a more powerful genius than him, it was impossible for her to possess such exaggerated strength.

Some kind of magic item?Or the lost black magic she learned while reading books?This must be clarified.

Judging from the increase and decrease of favorability that night, Fiona didn't seem to like the modest, elegant, considerate and friendly image he established. Instead, she showed interest when he showed his true face and emotions several times.

It was the first time Riddle had met someone with such...different preferences.

In his early years, he always won the love of others with his modest and studious, gentle and kind personality.Gentleness means harmlessness, and kindness represents innocence. Most people in the world are willing to interact with people who are harmless, innocent, and dangerous. Even crazy people like Bella admire him for his powerful strength and ideals, not him. cruel and ruthless character.

Wait - no matter how weird and complicated Fiona is, full of mysteries and dangers, she is still an 11-year-old child in essence, isn't her affection and what he understands not the same concept?

Riddle finally understood.

He has been using the tricks he used to deal with women to seduce a little girl, so naturally he couldn't produce the effect he wanted.

What do children value more than good looks and good manners?Fresh, interesting, special, exciting.

He should not try to charm her and make her admire him, but he should cater to her interests, create common topics, and show her superior ability in her own field to impress her, as he did with Yardley, plus some Mystery attracts her.

He's going to give her a steady stream of candy and pranks, and let her actively chase him.

After determining the new strategy direction, the only remaining question is how to investigate the mystery of Fiona.

With his strength blocked, there are too few methods he can use.Riddle thought over and over again, and decided to get a guaranteed favorability first, and then slowly plan after entering the school.

Thinking of this, he asked the system: "Is there a time limit for this task?"

The system replied: "No."

Riddle raised an eyebrow.

If there is no time limit, isn't that theoretically speaking, as long as he has a way to keep her favorability on the safe line, he can act at will?This difficulty should be lower than maxing out favorability, right?In this way, when he unlocks Legilimency after the second grade, or when he grows older and regains more strength, can't he use other means to deal with her?

After carefully determining the strategy and tactics for dealing with Fiona, Riddle skillfully dealt with Dumbledore for the third time - he almost recited the dialogue scene between the two of them completely.

Afterwards, he went to Diagon Alley again, and this time he confirmed the time when Yardley appeared, instead of going to Ollivander's place to wait and see, he had a chance encounter with Yardley at the exact time.

The skill of picking up conversations became more and more proficient each time. Riddle almost maxed out Yardley's favorability before school started, thinking that if Fiona was only one-tenth as easy to deal with as her cousin, he wouldn't need to be so painstakingly.

On September [-]st, he and Yardley met on the platform as agreed and boarded the train together.

Seeing Riddle cast the Ignoring Curse on the box door, Yardley exclaimed: "You are amazing. My dad forced me to study every day after I got the textbook, so I learned that clear water is like a spring."

Riddle said casually: "Maybe I'm better at this."

Yardley shrugged. "Well, I don't see anything you're not good at. Maybe childbearing? Hahaha."

Riddle twitched his lips perfunctorily at Yardley's bad joke.

In the past, he would have accepted Yardley's flattery, but now, he knows that he also has something he is not good at.

He's not good at gaining favor with Fiona Shafik.

"Ah, Fiona." Yardley pointed out the window to Riddle. "There, see, the one with the gray hair, she's my cousin I told you about. Why can't she put How about dyeing the hair back to blonde? It looks so weird..."

"Ding. The target person has appeared, and the favorability system is automatically activated. The current favorability is 0, please increase the favorability by at least a little within 10 minutes, otherwise it will be regarded as a mission failure."

The voices of the system and Yardley overlapped, and Riddle looked in the direction Yardley was pointing.

On the crowded platform, Fiona's petite figure was almost submerged in the passing suitcase trolleys, and only a faint ray of gray could be seen.

Standing beside her was a tall but slightly stooped old man with half-white and half-brown hair, wearing a gray-green robe, and looked like an old-fashioned toad.

"With her father?" Riddle asked.

"Yes, my uncle, Ethelred, doesn't he look like Fiona's grandfather? He has aged a bit fast these years, but he had his daughter Fiona very late in the first place. To be honest, My mother always thought that he and my aunt would not be able to have children, and that the Shafiq family would be cut off - my mother would cry to death."

Riddle automatically ignored Yardley's rambling words again, staring at the two men seriously.

I saw Ethelred talking to Fiona with a kind face. From the shape of his mouth, it could be seen that he was telling her some precautions after entering school, just like all the good fathers on the platform who care about their children.

Would a father who cared so much for his daughter let his wife drive his daughter into a magic riot?

Thinking of what Yardley said that their family relationship became harmonious after Fiona's magic riot, Riddle put a question mark on this detail in his heart.

"Are you sure you have a good relationship with your cousin?" Seeing Fiona struggle to pick up the suitcase and prepare to get in the car, Riddle asked again to confirm.

"At least that's how it seems to me." Yardley was puzzled. "What's the matter? Why are you so concerned about our sibling relationship?"

I'm just afraid that you will get tired and deduct points.

Riddle smiled, "Since it's good, let's invite her to our box. I'm quite curious about her."

Seeing Yardley's expression of resistance, Riddle smiled lazily, "I just want to see if you made up a story to deceive me, maybe she's just a poor girl who was used by her brother to scare her friends Woolen cloth?"

Yardley was displeased, his ambition overwhelmed his fear, and he immediately walked out of the box to pull Fiona over to prove his innocence.

With one elbow bent on the window sill, Riddle leaned his head and looked down at the book, patiently listening to the system's countdown. It was not until the last half minute that Yardley appeared at the door of the box with his suitcase.

He walked in, revealing Fiona, who was behind him.He still had that pale, thin, calm and gentle look.

The two looked at each other, and the system prompted: "Ding, add 3 to the favorability of the target, and the current favorability is 2."

Riddle was satisfied.Not in vain he practiced this posture in front of the mirror for several days.

While Yardley put the suitcase on the luggage rack with his back turned to him, Riddle deliberately looked at Fiona once, showing a light smile with a hint of understanding.

"Hello, kind." He mouthed silently.

Fiona narrowed her eyes slightly.

8. The eighth step of the strategy is finally, enrolled

"Ding. Add 5 to the favorability of the target, and the current favorability is 7."

The system's broadcast confirmed Riddle's guess.

Fiona Shafik really prefers aggressive character designs, but she doesn't know how much she can accept, and needs to be tested gradually.

Yardley put away his luggage and turned around, giving Fiona his seat and sitting next to Riddle himself.

"My cousin, Fiona Shafik, and my friend, Tom Riddle." Yardley introduced the two.

Riddle saw Fiona blink once, with the same subtle expression she had in the wand shop.He felt like a student who had finished his preparations and finally knew what she was thinking.

Fiona glanced at Riddle thoughtfully, her light eyes brushed over him as if with burrs, she paused briefly on the History of Magic textbook he had spread out, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly—honestly Said, now that Riddle sees the corners of her mouth rising, he thumps in his heart reflexively.

He restrained himself from looking down to see if there was any omission.

Perhaps because of Yardley's presence, Fiona didn't ask for her middle name this time, but asked Yardley, "Did you meet when you went to buy school supplies in Diagon Alley?"

Yardley was taken aback, "How do you know?"

Riddle waited calmly for her answer.

Fiona didn't answer, but instead glanced up.

Riddle followed her gaze to see the luggage rack on his seat, with his suitcase on it.

what happened again?

Riddle felt that the content he had previewed might not be enough, and every question given on the opposite side was beyond the outline.

"Your pet?" Fiona asked softly.

Riddle paused, and came to his senses.

He had put a snake in the suitcase in order to show off his Parseltongue and Slytherin blood later on.Before getting into the car, he ordered the snake to sleep quietly, so it didn't move at all in it.

And how did she find out?

Fiona looked down. "It's not very comfortable."

"Ding. The favorability of the target is reduced by 2, and the current favorability
