Vodai Ecstasy

06

There are dense creepers climbing up the ancient corridor, and the green shadows on the entire gable wall are surging like waves. The brown-haired boy is sitting on the corridor chair, looking at the small bottle in his hand with hesitation. The transparent liquid in the bottle It was exuding a soft luster like mother-of-pearl, reflecting the boy's frowning brows.Myrtle ran down the stairs in a panic, and happened to meet Nord's turned eyes.

"I'm sorry I'm late." The girl hastily combed her somewhat disheveled hair with her hands, and explained a little awkwardly: "I don't know what kind of trick Hong Bei is playing again, her mouth is getting more and more annoying. "

"Are you all right?" Nord shook his head, and carefully looked at the girl who ran over.Her hair was a little disheveled, and her school uniform robe was ripped to pieces. I don't know what happened just now. I believe it must not be a pleasant experience.

Myrtle also shook her head, smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of her."

Nord tilted his head, but also smiled: "This answer...is different from you before."

"The me before?" Myrtle felt that some uncontrollable thoughts flew through her mind quickly, but she quickly gave up the entanglement and said, "I believe you will not let me do anything."

"...Really?" Nord glanced at the bottle in his hand again, and did not speak again.

Myrtle stretched out her hand deftly: "Is this for me?"

The boy took half a step back, and the girl's outstretched hand caught nothing.

"Listen, Myrtle," Nord said, looking directly at Myrtle, "I need you to make a choice, whether to stay here, or get out as soon as possible, no matter what, I will try my best to help you, But I can’t even guarantee 100% what the future will look like.”

"What do you mean? Where do you want me to go?" Myrtle said eagerly, "I just want to be with you."

Nord suddenly smiled: "Together? We've never been together."

"What did you say?" The girl took two steps back in shock, the boy stopped looking at her, and turned to look at the gradually darkening twilight.

"I need you to make a choice, a choice you make while you are fully awake."

The evening bell rang just at this time, and the girl's obsessive gaze seemed to be shaken by the bell. When the last evening bell fell, her expression had completely recovered.Dodging, timid, and somewhat paranoid.Nord calmly watched the slight change in the girl's expression. He didn't say until he confirmed that the effect of the love potion had completely disappeared, "Have you thought about it?"

"What's the matter?" Myrtle frowned and took two steps back, her expression became evasive, obviously she knew all about her behavior while taking the medicine.

"If you stay at Hogwarts, you may be in danger." Nord said solemnly: "Someone wants to blackmail me by dealing with you."

"Who have you offended again?" Myrtle almost jumped up in shock. "That's not what you said!"

"Using this at the beginning was just a stopgap measure, at least they didn't continue to check what you did at that time," Nord put away the love potion in his hand, and explained: "I thought they no longer doubted, but in fact this Instead, it gave them a breakthrough."

"I didn't do anything at all," Myrtle stomped anxiously: "It's all good things you Slytherins did, obviously I am nothing to you..."

At this point, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, she hurriedly closed her mouth and looked at the other person's expression, only to see that the boy opposite was indifferent, and she couldn't tell if he was angry.She hurriedly tried to remedy it: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I should thank you for helping me all the time..."

"That's unnecessary." Nord said quickly: "I don't have time, you have to make a choice, stay at Hogwarts or leave."

"What will I face?"

"Riddle."

The sound of the evening wind gradually became shriller, and the green waves on the wall surged like a whirlpool of death.At the end of the dark corridor, a person waved his wand, dispelling the magic just now.

Rosie, who was standing opposite, was about to open her mouth to the person in front of her, but she was robbed of the conversation first.

"Thank you also for your help," Angelik said with a smile, "I haven't heard such an interesting thing before, and the anti-tracking magic of this kid Nord is really amazing."

"It's nothing..." Rosie looked at Angelik with a complicated expression. Logically, as a prefect, she should prevent such surveillance that violated school regulations.

"Riddle told me you were a trustworthy man."

These words made Rosie a little confused, it was obviously her first time participating in these people's activities: "Why?"

Angelik smiled: "Because you never talk much."

Rosie hesitated for a while, and finally chose to remain silent.

On the other side of the castle, Daiyu looked out of the window quietly, not far behind Riddle was holding a book, but his eyes were scorchingly stuck on the girl's back, his girl had ignored him for several days , just because of that damn... the boy's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he opened his mouth and said, "Are you really planning to keep ignoring me like this?"

The mountains outside the window are silent, the clouds are lingering, and it seems that thunder is coming.

The girl's figure shook for a moment, her lips moved, but she didn't speak, let alone answer.

"Why?" The boy rubbed the pages of the book in his hand: "This was originally a very fair transaction."

Daiyu turned her head and looked at Riddle with anger and resentment, and the words he wanted to say next were blocked in her throat with just one glance.

"You know that's not the case at all."

The girl shook her head, and was about to continue to say something to him, when the knock on the door interrupted the girl's initial words.

Riddle glanced at the girl half jokingly and half ostentatiously. The person who came was the fuse that triggered their dispute, Ian Nord.

The girl's eyes dimmed again, she turned her head and saw Riddle's more complacent expression, she couldn't help shaking her head.

Also helpless, she was powerless to change what this young man had decided.

Daiyu couldn't help turning her head to look at another boy in the room, Ian. She silently called Nord's name in her heart. Now she remembered everything that happened between them, his clumsiness and sincerity, his family, his Anger and helplessness... She thought, she really owed him a lot, but now, she could only watch him being forced into another embarrassment by Riddle.

It shouldn't be.

Even though she had such an undue attachment to Riddle, it shouldn't involve others.

Nord is innocent.

The girl's pleading eyes turned to the black-haired boy sitting on one side again, who received her gaze, but turned away as if nothing happened.

During this silent negotiation, Nord, who knew nothing, spoke first: "I agree with your request, but how can you guarantee not to hurt Myrtle?"

"You are very good at pity and tenderness." Riddle still had his usual smile, and said softly: "I will not hurt her, this is my promise, is it enough?"

"And Angelik and the others."

"You actually think that I would have the leisure to play this kind of word games with you." Riddle raised his eyebrows: "I will not hurt your little girlfriend, and it is not a gentleman's behavior to go against a little girl who loves to cry. "

As he said that, the black-haired boy did not forget to cast a sideways glance at Daiyu, but it was a pity that the girl's eyes were fixed on Nord's body, her brows were slightly frowned, and she ignored herself intentionally or unintentionally.

Riddle's face suddenly turned cold.

Nord didn't understand why the mood of the person in front of him changed so suddenly, he just clenched his fists, calculating where there was something missing in this guarantee.

"Don't think about it anymore," Riddle interrupted his thinking aloud: "Your hole card is nothing more than the Ministry of Magic. You know that is nothing to me. You have no bargaining chips."

"But even if it's the Ministry of Magic, you can drop out of school." Nord calculated inwardly, and continued: "You can't help Miss Lin either."

"It means, if I don't open my mouth, you don't plan to help her? Have you completely abandoned the previous promise?" Riddle sneaked a playful glance at Daiyu, his girl still had the dignified expression, but He seemed slightly relieved after hearing this sentence: "I thought your love would be more valuable. It seems that you really like Myrtle."

"I didn't expect you to pay so much attention to my love life, thank you so much." Nord clenched his fists and retorted with a frown.

"Hmm... generally concerned." Riddle seemed to put down the book in his hand nonchalantly: "I'm just more familiar with this school than ordinary people."

"That's really a pity. It's a shame to be a prefect with such a familiarity."

Riddle raised his eyebrows, ignoring the sharp sarcasm: "To be honest, your way of delaying time is really not very clever, and it can even be said to be a bit stupid."

His mind was revealed in an instant, and Nord couldn't help taking a deep breath: "You probably think too much, I'm just still hesitating, this is not a trivial matter."

"Oh?" Riddle smiled, "Then what did you want my promise to do?"

"You didn't give it to me, did you?" Nord said calmly, "Unless you can give me a more practical guarantee."

Riddle turned his head and glanced at the silent Daiyu, it was a good habit for his girl not to interrupt them suddenly when they were talking.He smiled and shook his head: "Since you choose not to trust me, the conversation between us can only end here."

"and many more!"

Nord said eagerly: "You have no one else who can bypass the time and space blockade of the Ministry of Magic."

"You even know this?" Riddle was surprised: "It seems that you have done a lot of homework."

"You must know why you came to me."

Riddle just nodded slightly when he heard the words: "That's right, but it's just one of the reasons."

"You have a way out." Nord said firmly, and for him, nothing is more frightening than Riddle's hole card that can never be seen clearly.

Riddle smiled and nodded. Since he said it was the way out, it is obviously impossible to show it to the other party.

Suddenly there was a piercing bird song outside the window, and the three of them unconsciously looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a mottled owl whizzing past in the night sky.

Nord suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Take me there, what are you going to do?"

Riddle silently looked at the dark sky, the lightning that pierced the sky washed the world into pure black and white, and the thunder roared.
