Vodai Ecstasy

10

Riddle didn't return to his dormitory until around two o'clock in the morning.Malfoy heard the slight sound of the door lock, the boy walked in from the darkness, did not turn on the light, did not bump into the things he placed by the door, and was not even surprised that there was another person in his single room, but he was familiar with him. He quickly changed his robe, and then drew the curtain of the bed, as if he was going to sleep directly.

He hurriedly got up from the bed, and asked through the dark green bed curtain, "Where did you take Nord?"

The person on the other side seemed a little surprised, and his subordinates paused for a moment before saying softly, "I don't know where he went. We separated in Hogsmeade this afternoon."

"You can't hide it from me, Riddle," Malfoy said angrily, "I heard it all, you don't need to repeat this set of rhetoric, that ghost has no way to prove your innocence, and you didn't come back so early. Tell me Honestly, Riddle, where did that kid Nord offend you, and where did you take him?"

The voice of the other party was a little tired of answering: "Since you don't believe what I said, is it meaningful for you to ask me? What do you think the truth is? Intuition cannot judge people."

Malfoy's words stuck in his throat, he paused, and continued: "Are you so sure you won't be caught?"

"I hope you can catch it." Riddle's voice was a little heavy, as if he was about to fall asleep: "By the way, I think you should worry more about yourself. After all, Nord was your roommate before, and now you are me roommate."

"What do you mean?"

The other party ignored him, but breathed evenly, as if he had fallen asleep.

Malfoy clenched his fists and curled up unwillingly under the warm blanket.

What the hell did Riddle do?

Why does he need to worry about himself?

He suddenly remembered what Professor Slughorn said to him during the day, that professor who loves to enjoy himself rarely has such a serious emotion: "Malfoy, your recent behavior is a bit strange, I don't know if I'm supercilious. If you encounter anything in your studies or life, welcome to discuss with me, but don't think about doing something out of the ordinary. Although there are rumors that our Slytherin is the base camp for cultivating dark wizards, don't forget, We also cultivate more elite wizards. Slytherin will always be our backing, but first, we must learn to love and help each other."

Yes, he would have reported directly to Riddle about their plans for a night out, but he hadn't.

Reporting is not a wise move, especially against fellow students in one's own academy, it is the most obvious betrayal.

As a new roommate, Malfoy thought that he had expressed the greatest friendship. Once Riddle's actions were discovered, he would be the first person responsible. He took the risk. Riddle actually said that he needed to worry about himself?

It was his own inadvertent actions, and he was reported by those damned Gryffindors. Even if Riddle finally found a plausible reason for himself, the deduction of points is inevitable... And Nord, what is he? Where did it get Nord?

Malfoy believed that it was impossible for Riddle to come back so early. Stian and the others would rush back when it was almost dark. If Riddle came back so early, he could go back to the lounge instead of letting the professors sit in the library. Find him and deduct points for Slytherin.

As for the testimony of that ghost, a ghost who can't remember anything at all, the professors actually listened to her words, they really got mad.

Could it be that Riddle is retaliating for the last time the ghost left with Nord?What a joke.

Malfoy felt that his ideas were getting more and more outrageous.

Even if Riddle did show a different level of concern for the ghost, what does that say in terms of Riddle's past behavior?He is interested in women?Even Stian wouldn't believe it.You must know that the first time Riddle got angry in public in the lounge was because his fanatical followers caused him too much trouble on Valentine's Day, even though he quickly controlled his emotions, but since then Riddle's attitude towards women Undoubtedly more cautious and even avoided.

Of course, Riddle never avoided those capable women. Malfoy felt that in Riddle's world, there was almost no distinction between men and women, only high and low abilities.Riddle, who has always been helpful, actually only favors capable people. This is a very ironic thing, but from Malfoy's own point of view, this attitude is a real plus.

Nord could be desperate to fall in love with a ghost, but Riddle, sorry he couldn't imagine Riddle falling in love with someone else even if he was alive, and just thinking about it gave shivers.

Malfoy didn't believe Riddle's claim that he didn't know what the ghost was interested in.What he believed was that Nord's night out tonight was entirely Riddle's plan, but he had no proof.This makes him a neurotic clown.

But Nord is not a fool, he firmly stands by Riddle on almost every occasion, what will Riddle do to such a follower?

He barely slept all night, and what was even more hateful was that Riddle slept peacefully.

It wasn't until dawn that Malfoy fell into a light sleep. After a while, he was awakened by the sound of Riddle getting up.

"Let people sleep?" the boy cried angrily, his tone full of sleepiness and dissatisfaction.Riddle put on his tie in an orderly manner, and replied lightly: "It's past the time to wake up, not to mention Nord is back, I think you should be very interested."

The former sentence made Malfoy want to scold people regardless of his image, but the latter sentence made him completely awake. He hurriedly got up from the bed, cleaned up quickly, and rushed out of the dormitory.

As Riddle said, Nord came back and followed Professor Slughorn with a pale face, pursing his lips hard, wondering if he had been taught a lesson.And Slughorn just announced with a livid face that Slytherin would be deducted [-] points and Knud Nord would be locked up for three days before leaving quickly, without explanation or comfort.

A few people gathered around, a few people were talking quietly, and a few people left indifferently, Malfoy didn't want to pay attention to these, he walked up quickly, trying to force his way out of the crowd, even though he was equally concerned with Nord's questioning and concern. Enthusiastically, this usually gentle boy didn't say a word.

Malfoy grabbed Nord's hand directly, and he couldn't help shivering at the cold touch, he turned his head and said loudly to the crowd: "No matter what happened, don't you see that Nord needs to rest? ? Go away and talk about everything later."

Maybe he still has some status in Slytherin. Angelik, who was on the sidelines, also helped to pull some people away, so he took advantage of the gap and dragged Nord back to the dormitory.

The door lock snapped down, and Malfoy let go of Nord's hand with a little panting, his hand was still as cold as ice.

Nord didn't seem to realize that the boy in front of him had just relieved him. He mechanically took off his coat and sat on the bed without saying a word of thanks.

It was only then that Malfoy realized that his wizard robes were dirty and torn, with several large fresh cuts.

"You are hurt?"

Nord shook his head, and suddenly smiled again: "You think this is considered an injury?" He stretched out his arm, with some bruise marks on it, and a few blood spots that had dried up.

"Are you being tortured and stupid by Riddle?" Malfoy couldn't help but exclaimed, "Then what is it? Tell me honestly, what did Riddle do?"

Nord just shook his head mechanically and didn't say another word.

"What is there for you to protect him?" Malfoy gritted his teeth: "A wizard born in an orphanage, even if he has good grades, what's the point? Don't you live only by grades all your life?"

Nord stared at Malfoy's back with a lack of focus. After a while, he suddenly laughed: "Malfoy, don't tell me that you really think that Riddle only has the advantage of good grades."

Malfoy clenched his fists and said nothing.

"Do you know that you will only get one vote from Stian in this prefect election? Do you know that even if you report directly to the principal that Riddle violated the school rules, he will not be punished? Even if I tell What happened to you in the past two days, you still can't shake Riddle in the slightest." Nord insisted: "You don't even know what kind of opponent you are facing!"

"You submissive coward, what right do you have to say this to me!" Malfoy roared angrily, "I think you are all crazy, what can he do to you? Just a group of students, do you really think you can change the world?" ?”

Nuo De sneered: "I don't know if it can change the world, I only know that you and I are not his opponents, you can try."

"Then are you going to give up that ghost too?" Malfoy also sneered, "At least I'm going to try, you coward."

The brown-haired boy's face became even paler. The early morning sunlight pierced through the lake to reflect cold water shadows, swaying around the two of them, like a snake of fate swimming around.

The unbearable silence was finally ended by the slamming of the door as Malfoy left angrily. Nord blinked, a little sour, but no tears.

He spread out his palm, which was still as cold as ice, but even a slight movement required great strength.Those ghosts were really difficult to deal with, and when the professors found him, he was already on the verge of collapse.

But at least it survived.

It looks like a mess, but it's just that it didn't lose completely.

"It seems that you really like her." When Riddle said this, a gray and white striped owl was resting on his arm. He casually touched the sharp beak of the eagle and continued: "Can I ask why?"

The brown-haired boy's face turned red in an instant. He looked around. There was no one in the pet shop in the afternoon. The sun shone through the main entrance, but it only stayed at the wind chime at the door. Most of the pets in this shop were not close to the sun.

"That's why you called me here?" Nord inexplicably avoided the topic.

Riddle smiled: "I'm just here to buy owls, you can go and see other things yourself."

At this time, he had already put down the eagle in his hand, and turned his gaze elsewhere: "I'm just curious... what does it feel like to like a ghost?"

Nord didn't respond, and the black-haired boy continued: "What can she do? She doesn't know magic, and so far there is no case of a wizard and a ghost combining...at least there is no such official record. You can't touch her, even She can't even remember your name..."

Riddle turned his head, this time his eyes were full of seriousness: "Nord, tell me why you like this ghost."

"I think she is a living person," Nord seemed completely unaware that he suddenly opened his guard under the gaze: "I have never seen such a beautiful person, as pure as crystal, even More beautiful than crystal, like water in the elements, just being close to her makes me feel happy... I really can't say, I don't know, I just think she deserves all the best things, even the wealth of this world Giving her is just a defilement..."

Riddle suddenly laughed: "Just rely on this illusory intuition?"

Nord blushed and argued, "Then have you ever seen a more pure and beautiful soul than her?"

"That's not true." Riddle shrugged: "It's true that being around her makes people feel very relaxed."

It seemed that he suddenly realized that the relationship between the boy in front of him and the ghost was far better than his own, and Nord was a little depressed.

Riddle didn't seem to notice the change in the other party's mood, or he didn't bother to notice: "Nord, then tell me... is it possible for such a beautiful soul to be completely destroyed?"

The heart seemed to be firmly grasped by the devil's hand, and Nord grabbed his wand: "What do you want to do?"

"At present, I don't want to do anything." The black-haired boy seemed to be unaware of the sudden change of atmosphere, he just extended a hand to the other party: "Actually, I admire you very much, Nord, do you consider being my friend?" ?”

"Of course you can refuse." He tilted his head and thought for a while, "I think at least Lin is willing to be my friend."

The brown-haired boy clenched his fists, of course he understood Riddle's meaning and stood in line.

Riddle had no friends, only subordinates.

But he didn't understand why Riddle still wanted to confirm this with him even though he had been on Riddle's side all the time. In all honesty, Nord didn't think he had the ability to make Riddle go through a lot of trouble.

The boy seemed to see through his doubts: "I won't stop you from becoming Lin's knight, I just want you to show your oath of loyalty. After all..." Riddle curled his lips: "I don't think your love will be separated so quickly Worthless, right?"

The Unbreakable Curse was not as uncomfortable as he had imagined. He didn't feel much when the flames and chains wrapped around his arms. It was so simple that he felt a little unreal.

He exchanged his loyalty for Riddle's promise not to hurt her. Until now, Nord didn't know whether this choice was correct.

He only knew that when Riddle expressed that he wanted to hurt her, he really panicked and wanted to directly attack Riddle, no matter whether the end was death or Azkaban, he would never hesitate.
