[hp] Rescue Mr Diggory

Chapter 71 Original Sin

On a sunny afternoon after the rain, the hot and sticky summer air was not refreshed by a brief rain, although Theodore Knott immediately ran into the In the gazebo in the garden, but the body was still inevitably drenched by the sudden shower.

However, the summer rain always came suddenly and went quickly. When the rain stopped, Theodore ran back to the room with the robin that fell from the tree and broke its wings that he had just picked up in the grass.After a brief bandage, more than half of the wet clothes on Theodore's body had been dried naturally by the hot and dry air.

Although the young Theodore's bandaging skills are still a little immature, his technique is already quite proficient.After he had medicated the robin's injured wing, wrapped it in gauze and tied a strong bow, the bell rang for the end of the nap.

Amidst the annoying chirping of the chiming clock, Theodore grabbed the bird that had just undergone a minor operation on the table, jumped off the high stool and ran to his mother's room. He expected his mother who was taking a nap at this moment Must have woken up.

But there is no one in the room, the bed is empty, the quilt and pillows are neatly stacked at the head of the bed, the curtains that have almost never been opened are now wide open, revealing the dusty glass floor-to-ceiling windows that have been hiding behind it for many years. The room had never been brighter in Otto's memory.

Theodore, who couldn't find his mother, had to sit on the bed blankly, because he couldn't imagine where his mother who was not in the room at this time would go, even though she always appeared drowsy in a wheelchair every day, except sometimes Except for her need to take care of Theodore, she seldom steps out of the door of the room. She is not interested in most things in life, and she just likes to stay alone in the room where day and night are often blurred, and she doesn't know Even her husband, Theodore's father, didn't know what she was doing to pass such a boring time, but he asked the family not to disturb her.

The young Theodore didn't know what his mother was doing in the room every day, or that she didn't do anything, just stared at the wall and ceiling in a daze, but Theodore's grandmother firmly believed that she was dissatisfied with it. Apart from being in a daze, Yijiu’s daughter-in-law also likes to light the candles placed on the dressing table, and look at the mirror with the faint candlelight while pitying herself in the mirror. Mrs. Nott’s guess is not groundless , because the house-elf who served Theodore's mother had reported to her that little Mrs. Nott asked the elf to send a new candle every day.

Whenever there are guests in the manor, Theodore's mother is the only one in the family who does not have to come out to meet the guests. No regular guest will ask where the hostess of the manor has gone. Everyone knows that the young Mrs. Nott is weak and sick all the year round. Being sick in bed, it is really inconvenient to come out to see guests. After so many years since the wedding, no outsider has seen the real face of this Mrs. Nott, but even this does not prevent people outside from saying that Mr. Nott is right. My wife is very happy with this, because everyone knows that they are childhood sweethearts who are well-matched. Long before the two were born, each other's parents nodded and arranged for this marriage.

Nothing but her son could tempt Mrs. Knott out of the room, and her legs did not offer much room for movement.Occasionally, when there is no one at home, she will let the house elf help her push the wheelchair to the garden to accompany Theodore to bask in the sun, teach him some simple words and arithmetic in the gazebo in the garden, and read a few stories to him, but There are not many such warm moments, most of the time she stayed in the room, maybe she was staring at the wall in a daze, maybe she was looking in the mirror as Grandma Theodore said, but there is no doubt that she lived like a still A ghost that has not escaped from biological needs.

But she never misses a nap in the middle of the day.Because of this, in Theodore's eyes, the time after lunch until three o'clock in the afternoon is the most sacred of the day, and that is the only time when he can be sure that his mother is resting and must not disturb her.

Theodore lay quietly on the big bed in the room that was so clean that not even a single hair could be found. He didn't like to wait, but life was full of all kinds of waiting.Until the chiming bell stopped and the big house returned to calm, about 10 minutes had passed since the nap time, but my mother still didn't come back.

The belated drowsiness hit after the nap, because he hadn't waited for his mother, Theodore had to rub his eyes with his hands, trying to overcome the drowsiness with tenacious willpower, at this time his The wounded robin was in the pocket, and it was also very silent at this time.

After a while, there was the sound of the door opening, but it was the house elf who was dedicated to serving Theodore's mother who came in. As usual, it wanted to come over to see if there was anything that could help Mrs. Nott who had just had a nap.

When Theodore got out of bed and stood by the window to explain to the elf that the curtains in the room were not pulled open by him, they all saw a black shadow flashing past the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, before they turned back Then there was a huge sound on the ground, which was as loud as thunder.

Theodore could still clearly see the mother who had been missing for a while through the glass window that was opaque due to dust, lying in a pool of blood, and could even see the milky white brain pulp and blood on the ground near the head. For one thing, the color looked familiar, like the big jar of strawberry jam with milk that Theodore ran into the kitchen the other day and found the elf in charge of making desserts stirring.

At this time, the robin in the pocket, who thought he had lost all life, suddenly began to howl, as if he was offering a lament for his savior.

It was the first time in Theodore's life that he felt death so profoundly. It was not that he had never seen blood and dead creatures before. In fact, he was already a seasoned killer at the age of seven.

Every once in a while, Theodore would run to the small forest not far from his manor to play his bloody game. He liked to use stones to severely injure the small animals that he could easily control until they lost their ability to escape. Then, while they were still conscious, he would brutally disembowel them with sharp stones. He would not be satisfied until they were completely motionless and really dead. After killing them, he would still remember to return Cleaning up the crime scene in front of the house and washing away the blood left on his hands brought him great satisfaction.

Occasionally, he would suddenly show mercy and take some injured animals home to take good care of them, but these animals could not escape his clutches in the end, and the sudden kindness of this little devil just wanted to use these injured animals, In order to be able to act as a kind child in front of my mother, because my mother is an animal lover and wanted to be a researcher of magical animals in the wild when she was young.So when she saw her child inheriting her love, she would often show a rare smile, touch Theodore's head and praise him for being a good boy.

In order to feel the warmth of that touching head from time to time, and to persuade his mother to come out of the room to accompany him more often, Theodore often had to reluctantly hold back the desire to kill and show mercy to those animals.

He used to enjoy the pleasure of torturing and killing these weaker animals. He once thought that death was a fascinating thing, but when he saw his mother's body, he realized that it was not fun. .

On the day of Mrs. Nott’s memorial service, because the venue was arranged outdoors and it started to rain heavily in the middle of the ceremony, Mr. Nott had to reluctantly give up those grand ceremonies specially prepared for his beloved wife. He could only speed up the process and keep everything simple. So that relatives and friends who come to the funeral can finish the eulogy before the rain is too loud to be heard.

No one noticed that Theodore hid in the corner secretly sad. He didn't go into the house to avoid the rain, but just sat there and let the rain beat on him. For a moment, tears flowed down his face More or more rain.

He was sobbing alone, and suddenly he felt the rain stop above his head, and it turned out that a girl in a black skirt gave him half of her umbrella.

He knew that girl, Camelia Shafik, whom their children dubbed "Miss Squib". A little wizard born of pure blood should have awakened wizard consciousness as early as the age of three, but she has not yet shown signs of this at this age. I heard she also went to a Muggle school.

Theodore is a descendant of a pure-blood wizard, his grandfather was the author of the "Pure Blood List", and his father was a Death Eater who was loyal to the wizard blood and joined the Dark Lord, so he was as determined as his family Theodore, who advocates the traditional concept of pure blood, looks down on Camelia from the bottom of his heart. Although he has never taken the initiative to join the team of children who bullied her, he approves of these behaviors. After all, what is a squib? Why should they get along with her in a friendly manner? She is a pure-blooded scum.

At this moment, he would rather be seen and laughed at by Draco Malfoy's friends than to be cared by a squib.

Based on this idea, he roughly pushed away the umbrella in Camelia's hand, and the umbrella fell to the ground, making Camelia drenched like him, and he rudely told her to get out, don't worry about it Nosy, it was the first time in these days that he vented his suppressed grief by roaring, so after he finished yelling at Camelia, he quickly lowered his head and let out a real big cry.

Even though she was almost pushed to the ground by Theodore, Camelia did not choose to leave, she did not pick up the umbrella on the ground, and sat silently beside Theodore, reaching out to wrap his arms around his when he was crying. On the shoulder, patted his back lightly, and comforted him: "My father said that those who left us will not disappear, they just guard us in another way."

Although Theodore was still resisting her contact because she was a squib, he seemed to be extraordinarily vulnerable in a grieving situation. He had no choice but to hold back the displeasure in his heart and embrace the care.The adults inside were probably all dazed, but they didn't realize that their two children were still drenched in the rain outside.

Since the death of his mother, although his father has not remarried, he has become more and more obsessed with promoting the theory of pure blood. Together with his friends who were Death Eaters, he is planning how to bring pure blood wizards back to the Holy Spirit. More and more wizards of pure Muggle blood in the wizarding world are gradually entering various fields. He is busy with this, and it can be said that he is carried away. Before Theodore went to Hogwarts to go to school, he was always taken care of by his grandmother and house elves. of.

When he arrived at Hogwarts, Theodore was assigned to Slytherin without any suspense, where he met many old acquaintances, such as Draco Malfoy and others, who had known him since he was a child, so he Doesn't feel lonely, but he's used to being alone.

Slytherin's little friends don't think he is so withdrawn, on the contrary they are very happy to associate with him, but Theodore knows that most of the reason for this is that he is a pure blood wizard, and at the same time he supports pure blood theory like them, So they are happy to make friends with him.

Daphne Greengrass, who also grew up together, thinks Theodore is cool, and she seems to be in love with him. The relationship between them is somewhat similar to that of Pansy Parkinson and Draco Malfoy. Xi and Draco really dated later, and everyone booed and asked Theodore when he was going to marry Daphne, but in fact Theodore didn't think about Daphne at all.

Only Blaise Zabini, who has the closest relationship with Theodore, knows who Theodore likes. Although Theodore never admits it, Blaise knows that Theodore will go to the library when he has no class. The museum is not because he is really that eager to learn, but because he wants to meet someone he wants to meet there.

Blaise didn't think the Ravenclaw girl that Theodore liked was so special, he had only heard that her family was also pure-blooded traitors with the Weasleys, because they were all close to Muggles and helped Those Muggles talked, but Blaise thought it was Theodore's own business, and he had no right to interfere, and he would just remind Theodore not to fight for the sake of seeing the Ravenclaw table next door. Stretching out his whole body and even his head, Theodore always pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Although the rumors about Camelia being a squib have long been self-defeating, her reputation in school has been affected by those untrue reports in the early years. It can be said that it never got better. She is crowded out and has almost no friends, but she still looks optimistic, so sometimes Theodore thinks she is like a fool, who doesn't hold any grudges at all, and even cheerfully treats those who say bad things about her.

Theodore knew that he liked Camelia, but he would always choose to stand behind and pay attention to everything about her silently as he did when he was a child. He always learned that Camelia was raped by others afterward Squeeze out, but even so he never took the initiative, never took any action, he thought this fool would be bullied a few times, otherwise she would never wake up, because she always has no long memory, naively Imagine that those people can realize their mistakes on their own.

That year, the Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin was opened, and there were multiple attacks on campus, which turned the Christmas break into a mass escape, with everyone scrambling to get on the train home.Theodore, like most of the Slytherins, felt little fear of this, since the unlucky ones targeted by the Heir of Slytherin were all Mudbloods.

On that train home, Theodore witnessed Camelia being pushed to the ground viciously by her classmates. Going forward to help, almost everyone around was gloating. As usual, he wanted to choose to stand by and watch, thinking that one time she would have a long memory.

But seeing that her arms and arms were broken, but she could only hold back tears and clean up alone amidst the laughter, Theodore suddenly felt compassion and hesitated whether to break her insistence, after all That was the girl he liked, but it was this moment of hesitation that made him lose a great opportunity.

Even after so many years Theodore still hates Hufflepuff Cedric Diggory for being so helpful, because this guy took away his chance to be handsome and made him close to Cammy It was the best opportunity for Leah, but Theodore forgot that he had countless opportunities to win Camelia's favor before that, but he never cherished it, and like most people, he had to be in It is too late to regret when you realize that you have lost it.

The following plot is very clichéd, and Cedric's help this time immediately seduced Camelia's heart, making her fall in love with him without any suspense in the future.

On April Fool's Day of a certain year, when Theodore happened to pass by the corridor that was rarely used by people, he accidentally ran into Camelia and Cedric walking towards him, talking and laughing. Odo hid behind the nearby statue and eavesdropped on their conversation.

Theodore claims to be much smarter than Cedric, at least he can see through Camelia's lies at once, where is the French boy, she hasn't seen her relatives in France for several years , What kind of April Fool's Day joke, it is clearly her temptation, her eyes are full of love, but there are such fools who can't see it at all, believe it, it is just a joke of hers.

What can a Hufflepuff wizard do, at least it makes sense to like a Ravenclaw, Theodore thought unconvinced, he thought Camelia was not only stupid, but also had bad eyesight, but he While he was angry with Camille, he was also angry with himself. Who told him to fall in love with her, a pure-blooded scum, and in order to understand her better, he did not hesitate to take his original course in the third grade. Disliked Muggle Studies class.

Just because Theodore went to the Muggle studies class, he had a fight with his father. Although the reason he gave was to understand how bad the Muggle culture was, his father still scolded him After a pause, if Professor Snape hadn't kindly helped him, his favorite student, his father would never let go.

Afterwards, Theodore learned from his grandmother why his father hated Muggles so much. In addition to being extremely proud of his own blood, Theodore's mother wanted to elope with a Muggle boy, but was eventually rejected by his family. People forcibly seized her and married Theodore's father. Her legs were lost at that time. As for the Muggle boy, her whereabouts are unknown. Since then, she lost her soul and became a shell.

For some unknown reason, Theodore always believed that Camelia would find out that Cedric was not worthy of her liking at all, but he didn't wait for Camelia to open her eyes, but he easily did. A chance to make Camelia give up on Cedric.Because a few days after Camelia confessed on April Fool's Day, Cedric was with another girl, and he was still a classmate of the same college as Camelia. Fatal blow.

Theodore was content to see Camelia lingering for several days. When Cedric and his girlfriend walked past Camelia hand in hand, Theodore, who happened to be there at the time, saw it and did not forget it. To ridicule Camelia, he deliberately asked her if she envied her?

"They are a good match." Camelia smiled wryly.

Seeing her gradually darkening eyes, Theodore, who had provoked her, couldn't bear it anymore, and muttered, "What's so good about him, he's just a mediocre Hufflepuff, just go to the street and grab one. A lot."

"Yeah, what's good about it."

Although Camelia said so, tears fell down. Theodore panicked at this moment and quickly handed over his handkerchief, but Camelia shook her head and said desperately that she was fine, but the wind blew her eyes It hurts.Only then did Theodore discover that Camelia liked Cedric far more than he had imagined, which made him start to panic. What he panicked was not that Camelia would forget Cedric, but what he panicked was that He realized that he couldn't guarantee that Camille would fall in love with him, because even if one Cedric was driven away, another boy would come in later, and no one could talk about emotional matters, so he had to find a way to make Camille fall in love with him. Ya would only fall in love with him, not anyone else.

It is not easy for a person to fall in love with himself, but Theodore is an extreme person. He has always had a clear understanding of himself. He knows that his psychology has been unhealthy since he was a child, but he never thought of correcting it. , and there are reasons for this. After all, not everyone will have his life experience, so creating such a crazy character is an inevitable result.

After growing up, Theodore has long been immune to the pleasure of disembowelling small animals as a child. Now he prefers to take care of those animals with defects. To them, he is their own. Savior, they have no choice. If they want to continue to live, they must attach to him and listen to him, which can give him great satisfaction.

Soon the pain of not being able to ask for Camelia made Theodore think that this principle may also apply to love. He can destroy her, so that she has no choice but to fall in love with him and be his only one. A captive can only cling to him, and can never leave him.At this time, Theodore could understand why his father did what he did to his mother back then, he understood everything.

It's actually very simple to want to ruin a person, sometimes all it takes is a word of mouth.When a piece of news is released, there will be countless different voices, and in the end, there will be all kinds of sayings, but people tend to believe the most unrealistic ones.After that, what Theodore has to do is to wait until Camelia is on the verge of collapse, and give her a hug like a hero that can resist all malice from all over the world. He believes that by then she will fall madly in love with He, after all, he had abandoned the whole world for her.

After Brace learned of Theodore's plan, he said with a hippie smile that his love was really suffocating.But Theodore replied, saying that a person who has never been in love can understand what he knows. Falling in love with someone is the feeling of suffocation.

In this way, Theodore hid behind the scenes and borrowed a knife to kill people. He really got what he wanted to destroy Camelia and drive her to a dead end, but it is a pity that the remaining half of this seamless plan has not been implemented in the future.

That day, people found Camelia, who had attempted to cut her wrists and suffered a heart attack, in the women's bathroom on the second floor, and she was immediately sent to the school hospital, after which her family took her away that night , and went through the withdrawal procedures, and later some people said that she transferred to Beauxbaton School of Magic and Magic in France, but some people said that she was still in the UK, but she did not go to school, but what happened is only Camelia herself And her family just found out.

Theodore never regretted what he did back then. Although he was the main man behind Camelia's dropout, he knew that he was not the same as Camelia. If he didn't rely on some special and extreme methods, he would never be able to He would get her, especially when her heart was still occupied by Cedric. He was unwilling and didn't want to see her love someone else. It's not that he didn't think that even if she did, she still wouldn't What to do if you like him, but even if this kind of thing really happens, it doesn't matter, at least he still managed to destroy her, what he can't get, no one else can get it.

The author has something to say:

There is too little content about him in Theodore's original novel, and I feel that there are not as many roles as the little follower around Malfoy. I don't know exactly what it is about his character, and those fanfictions are even less dared to refer to, so let him play freely. I'm really sorry if I offend you.

Well, the "Original Sin" series is over. I don't know why it seems that no one likes this series, but I will try my best to make other episodes.
