Vodai Ecstasy

09

When Daiyu returned to the library again, the night was already dark.There were only a few teachers and students on duty in the corridor, and she was not in the mood to chat with them, so she simply took a long detour back.

She has always liked to stay in the library, although half of the books stored there are very interesting and half are sensational, but since she can read them freely, she enjoys this kind of preferential treatment calmly.But today, she doesn't know what's wrong with herself, she would rather go to the square in front of the school gate and sit there for a long time than to stay in the library all the time.

In the cold corridor, the sunset glow sprinkled on the marble tiles, reflecting fine starlight.She sat there until midnight.Seeing the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves and dust away, listening to the evening wind sending the night owl's sound far and near, until the stars wrapped the world gently like flannelette, she slowly got up and left.

Autumn winds and autumn rains are so sad, and now in the early autumn when the blue sky is clear, she already feels miserable. If it comes to the frosty winter in Changhe, how will she deal with herself?

She couldn't remember where she was from, except for a name, all that was left to her in the past was a tragic blank.Those students said that she could understand many languages, but she didn't know whether she was born with them or how to learn them, and if no one asked her, she would never know that she could understand them strange language.The professor said that she should be from the east based on her appearance, but no one can explain why an oriental ghost can cross a continent and come to the westernmost island country.If she can have the power to span the entire continent, why does she have to forget who she is?No one could explain it all, and neither could she.

Duff asked her to stay at Hogwarts, she said she would help to find out her past, so she stayed temporarily.

But in reality, she always felt that the reason for her staying was not this.

The square in front of the school gate has a strange attraction for her, and she always comes here involuntarily.Whenever she came here, her eyes and heart would feel pain for no reason, so she actually didn't want to come here.

Especially with that nagging boy taking up most of her free time lately.

The memory about that boy can be kept in the brain the longest, and sometimes the little things a week ago will not be forgotten, and he is too alert, always reminding her just right when she is about to forget, tirelessly, I don’t know if he is desperate To prove the wild statement he said that he is different from others.

Riddle is a maniac to the bone.

She actually appreciates that.

So sometimes she can't help teasing him, watching the mask on his face being thrown off by real emotions again and again.But he always wakes up in time, quickly picks up the mask and puts it back on.

She felt a little pity.

Such a smart person, she didn't want to see him live so steadily.

But he was always defending his territory, whenever she approached, he pushed her away desperately.He wants to know the secrets about her, but he never intends to exchange anything equivalent, even caring is full of guard.

She used to think that she could watch the fire from the other side, but this boy made her want to cross the long river between them again and again, and she wanted to see what he looked like on the other side of the river.

It's just that every time she tried to wade out, the river suddenly surged like a knife, cutting her ankles with scars.

Just like today, the boy, once again enraged because the mask was knocked off, threatened himself with her past.

It's ridiculous that her past, her memory, would be used as a bargaining chip by others.

He was really angry, so desperate, he seemed to forget that she was not a person who would compromise.

It doesn't matter if she has nothing, she doesn't want to be threatened by him.

She went back to the library and stayed all afternoon, as if waiting for someone, but no one came.Later, she woke up from the twilight, drowsy, and somehow went around to the square again, where she sat there until midnight.

Ghosts don't feel sleepy, but she seems to have retained a bit of the habit of being a human being. Maybe the other party is angry. Now she just feels very tired and wants to find a place to lie down.

The girl walked around the dark bookshelf. There should be a sofa in the corner, which is Riddle's preferred position. Although she doesn't want to have any contact with him now, she has to admit that it is the most suitable place to rest.

In the darkness, she suddenly found a man lying on the sofa, wearing a black robe, almost blending into the shadow, which startled her.

I don't know if it's a student or a teacher, no matter who it is, it shouldn't be here at this time.

Daiyu took two steps back, but the other party seemed to be aware of her arrival. She took off the book covering her face with her plain hand, and slowly opened her eyes without looking in the direction where Daiyu was hiding.

"where did you go?"

Also just asking her.

Daiyu turned her face away and didn't intend to talk to him.

The other party didn't seem to move, but his voice was strangely gentle: "I'm just late for a while, and you're angry?"

be late?

Daiyu was in a daze, she was waiting for him?

"I was delayed in Hogsmeade for a while, and you won't be here when I come back." This time, the voice appeared behind her, almost whispering against her earlobe.

The girl turned around abruptly in shock, and the boy did appear behind her in an instant. She retreated hastily, but bumped into a cold wall.

The boy didn't seem to care about her embarrassment, and even had a hint of playful appreciation. He took a slow step forward, but kept her firmly within his control.

"So I waited here until now, and agreed that I will tell you about your family this afternoon... Where have you been?"

He was getting closer and closer, but the girl sneered, "Why didn't I remember that I was waiting for you? What do you want to do now that you look like this?"

"Then I'm really curious... besides me, who are you waiting for?"

His black eyes locked her firmly, and there seemed to be a vast starry sky in the pure blackness.

The girl bit her lower lip lightly, and retorted bluntly: "Don't think..."

The door of the library was suddenly opened, and the light in the room suddenly turned on. Both of them were blinded by the dazzling light, and Daiyu hurriedly closed her eyes. She tried her best to adapt but felt a comfortable shadow suddenly cover her body. eyes.

His smell was all around her, and she felt a little sour for no reason.

What a dork.

Obviously she is just a soul.

"Tom?"

"Daiyu?"

The sounds came out almost at the same time, but they came from the mouths of two people.

Slughorn and Duff looked at each other, as if vaguely clear, but they didn't really understand the current situation.Professor Duff reacted first, and turned off several lights in succession before their excellent student put down his hands covering Daiyu's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Professor."

The male student replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Tom, it's past lights-out time, what are you doing here?" Slughorn asked first.

The student said softly: "I was reading here, but I accidentally fell asleep. Miss Lin didn't wake me up until just now." The voice was a little tired, as if he had really been disturbed to sleep.

He looked at the two professors on the opposite side and asked uncertainly: "What happened? Why did the two professors come here at night? What are they searching for?"

Slughorn was a little helpless, falling asleep in the library didn't seem to be a big problem, not to mention that this was his favorite student, it's just that there was such a big fight tonight, it seemed unreasonable not to deal with Riddle.

Dafu seemed to be a little suspicious, her emerald eyes fixed on Daiyu, and confirmed: "Students must return to the dormitory before dark, Miss Daiyu, why did you wake him up just now?"

"I was thinking about my own affairs, and he was sleeping in the corner, and I have no obligation to wake him up." The girl's voice was a little annoyed, but she didn't know who she was addressing.

"Okay, okay, since we found Tom." Slughorn quickly smoothed things over, he glanced at Daiyu with some gratitude, and then said to Riddle with a serious face: "You know that tonight How much effort did it take to find you? Ten points will be deducted from Slater, you go back with us first."

The boy lowered his eyes and said submissively, "Okay, I'm sorry."

He was a little puzzled: "Professor, can I ask who noticed that I didn't go back? After all, I don't have a roommate. Did the classmate who reported to you come to me for something?"

"Malfoy is your roommate from today on." Slughorn turned his head and yawned, "Gryffindor students reported that several Slytherin students didn't come home at night today, but now that you are If you find it, there is probably no problem..."

Professor Duff glanced at Slughorn, as if displeased with the way he had told the student everything.It's just that she didn't say anything, just took a step or two forward, and disappeared from everyone's sight quickly like a green ball.

The boy lowered his head to keep up with the leaving pace of the professors, and when the black robe was about to go out of Daiyu's sight, he turned his head and glanced at her.

Daiyu stayed where she was, not understanding what he meant.

She also didn't understand why she chose to help him lie. He had been lying all night.

When Riddle returned to the lounge, most of the students had already fallen asleep, and only a few were still sitting in front of the red fireplace. When they saw them coming back, they immediately surrounded them.

Most of them were students who went out with him, and there were a few irrelevant ones with blank faces.Seeing him safely appear, his expression was even more different.

Slughorn waved his hand, motioning for them to disperse: "Okay, is Nord back?"

The students shook their heads, and the professor stomped his feet angrily: "You said you dated out together, and now you don't even know the person is gone. Is that what Slytherin is like? What about your friendship?"

"Professor," Riddle said suddenly, "is Nord gone?"

Slughorn rubbed his brows: "You are all here now, Tom, tell me truthfully, what did you do in Hogsmeade today? Why hasn't Nord returned yet?"

"I wanted to buy an owl, so I asked Stian if they wanted to go together. You know, there are many interesting shops in Hogsmeade," the boy frowned and recalled earnestly: "We were at I met at the Pig's Head Bar, and then Stian and the others went shopping by themselves. Nord and I went to the pet store, but I didn't find the owl I liked. It was around four o'clock in the afternoon. I planned to come back. Nord said he would Go to the post office, and I'll be back by myself."

Speaking of this, the boy was a little annoyed: "I should have gone with him if I knew it earlier, professor, can we go to the post office to ask now?"

"The post office is closed now..." Slughorn hesitated.

"Although it's not good to disturb people's dreams, but Nord didn't come back so late, should we just let it go?" The boy was a little anxious: "There are wars everywhere now, if he really ran to some dangerous place, in case What if something happens?"

Slughorn looked at Riddle in some surprise, and then smiled gratifiedly: "Well, you go back to the dormitory first, I will contact the Ministry of Magic, there are traces in the wands of underage wizards, since now No letter from the Ministry of Magic yet, proving he should be safe so far. Go to bed, I'll find him before dawn."

"Thank you for your hard work, professor." Riddle saluted, turned around and comforted the students, "Let's go to rest first, I'm sorry for causing such a big trouble tonight, but we have to trust the professor, we will be fine."

The crowd dispersed quickly, and Slughorn found with some doubts that the boy had a stronger appeal in the academy than he expected, but perhaps this was a proof of his ability.

Sure enough, his vision was right, Riddle would definitely accomplish a lot in the future, the professor smiled with satisfaction, as if he had already seen the prosperous future of his students.
