Harry's eyes widened in horror. He'd heard about Legilimency—

While it's unpopular, his parents were both Aurors.Lily had said that Occlumency was a very useful skill, but she probably couldn't have foreseen the need for a fourth year at Hogwarts to learn it.Who would have thought that from the very beginning, he would be completely helpless?

Suddenly, a rather dire surmise popped into his head: if it weren't for being at school, Tom could have silenced him with a single blow...

"You have a wider range of knowledge than I thought, and you are more self-aware than I thought," Tom said again, and he obviously saw what Harry was thinking, with a sneer in his voice, "but that's not the answer I want—— Say, where did the map come from?"

The tall boy snapped a second time, and Harry heard the vague persuasion in his head again.He has never learned Occlumency, and the best way to deal with it is to disconnect the line of sight, but his body can't move - it looks like he has been petrified from the neck down, and his head is rigidly restrained by the front wand and the back hand, so he can't move. in the slightest...

Most of them were still in their beds, and a few were in the common room, probably unwrapping their presents like Harry.There is no one in the corridor, but there is a lonely dot on the astronomical tower...

At this time, there should be no one in the venue; there is indeed no one on it, only a small dot marked Tom Riddle entered the castle through the gate...

Once, it sneaked into the library silently, and stayed in the forbidden | book area for a long time; another time, it walked through the same corridor three times, then disappeared, and it took a long time to stay where it was Reappear……

A small ink dot in the upper left corner shows Professor Dumbledore pacing the study; Mrs Norris, Filch's cat, is prowling the third floor, while the mischievous ghost Peeves is hopping around the prize room... …①

Writing began to appear on the top of the parchment, and it was a curved green character. "Suppliers of Aids to Makers of Magical Mischief/Gentlemen of Moonface, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs/Proudly present/The Marauder's Map"...②

"--Do not!"

Harry screamed in pain.The other was in his head like no one else, but there were some things that must never be discovered—he couldn't let Tom see that Fred and George had given him the map, and he couldn't let Tom know that the real world was alive. The dot map was made by James and others when they were in school; even if he had to pay for his voyeur | spying on Tom's whereabouts, he couldn't bear to implicate others!

Suddenly, Harry felt lighter.The heavy and sharp pressure in the throat disappeared, and the frequent white flashes in front of his eyes also stopped, replaced by a wet blur.He barely realized that at some point, he had been forced to cry.In the extremely dark vision, the figure in front of him swayed away from him.

The cold air rushed in, irritating Harry's nose and lungs. "...what?" He asked blankly while panting rapidly, completely unaware of what happened.

However, there was silence all around, only the slight sound of water waves lapping on the shore.

The human shadow approached again, as if Tom had just turned his head to look at something. "It seems that you are lucky," the other party's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, very low, but also very annoyed, "Keep your secret until next time, Harry."

Harry understood every word the other said, but it made him even more at a loss.There was no one by the lake, he had just confirmed it.And they were a little far from the rose bushes, with a tall hedge between them; even if someone heard his screams, it was impossible to come over so quickly to check.

"You..." Harry wanted to ask something more, but just as he opened his mouth, he was blocked by something cold and soft.He didn't really realize what happened until the tip of his tongue was entangled with another tongue——

Tom is kissing him? !

No, Harry wanted to say, trying to tilt his head on the side.But under the tight fit, all his words turned into whimpers, and there was no room for struggle in his body—the spell on his body had not been released, and there were still two hands holding his face, forcing him to Keep your mouth open.

The tall boy seemed dissatisfied with Harry's lack of cooperation.The strength of his hands became heavier, and the kiss, which could not be called gentle, became more and more rough.The sound of the water is soft, but it is not the movement in the black lake; the lips are tingling, and there is a subtle and secret heat flow——

Harry suddenly took a big breath between the two's overlapping noses, and all the anger just now turned into panic.He's reacting, he can feel it.The other party should have also noticed that a hand that was originally supporting the side of his face slipped down, resting on that position as if there was nothing, and gently swipe his fingertips.

This action was obviously magical, because the next second, Harry suddenly felt his body loosen.The spell that imprisoned | his actions was released... Although it was a bit embarrassing to say it, his first reaction was to put his legs together and arch his body, so as to completely block the situation below.

This is too embarrassing, Harry thought angrily as he huddled in the corner of the bench, the previous plot was obviously violent|forced to extract a confession!

The other hand that was still on Harry's cheek wiped away the mist that blocked his vision with a gentle movement, and then drew it back. "I thought you'd like it."

Harry didn't need to look to know that there must be that charming smile on Tom's face at this moment, and there may be a part of apology that is extremely sincere on the surface and absolutely false on the inside.This made him even more suspicious that there were witnesses just now, and immediately looked around——

A dark silence, not to mention people, not even a bird.

Even without eye contact, Tom easily read Harry's actions. "Don't look," he said, as if he couldn't help laughing, "do you really think everyone is ignorant?"

Harry couldn't hold it any longer, and stared back furiously.Tom did it on purpose; whoever saw them just now would have thought they were playing some kind of mate affair.No one at school doesn't like Tom, which means no one will believe the truth—

How could a star student at Hogwarts possibly take Legilimency on someone and cover it up with a fake kiss?Besides, he couldn't produce the Marauder's Map as evidence...

Obviously, Tom knew this better than Harry, and he was completely indifferent to Harry's stare.The tall boy straightened up, his gaze swiveled over Harry's folded lap, and then up to Harry's lips. "You haven't been in a relationship yet?" he asked, slightly playful.

Harry never dreamed that Tom would make such a drastic remark, or add fuel to the fire.Does the other party dislike him for his jerky response when he asks this question?It's impossible to be satisfied that he is his first, right? "It's as if you've talked about it!" He stuck his neck back, praying desperately for the reaction to go away soon.

The tall boy nodded disapprovingly. "I didn't, so what?" He said frankly, "You know it's because I don't want it?"

These words are true, but the attitudes of "Of course I know that there are a lot of girls like me" and "Are you and I being stupid compared to this" couldn't be more obvious, Harry felt so depressed that he had nowhere to vent, he was so aggrieved that he wanted to fight people.

But Tom wasn't done yet. "It reminds me," he crossed his arms, and looked at Harry leisurely, "you've got no hope of finding another one right now."

Harry wasn't cocky enough to think it was because they had just kissed once.That was the smoke bomb, and Tom made it on purpose for others to see—though he didn't know who it was.Then again, Cedric and Qiu have dated so many times, it's not like he can't find out...

"What does it have to do with you?" Harry said, not surprisingly, his tone became more aggressive.Who made it impossible for him to date Qiu?Although the main reason was himself, if it hadn't been for Tom... he thought angrily, but he knew clearly in his heart that he was venting anger.

Tom didn't care how nasty Harry was. "Okay, then I'm nosy." He said indifferently, turned around, as if preparing to leave.But as soon as he lifted his foot, he turned around as if remembering something again, and stretched out a hand to Harry.

Harry didn't know what the other party was going to do, and leaned back alertly.However, he was already very close to the back of the chair. This action did not shorten the distance between the two, but instead caused the back of the chair to shake dangerously.Startled, he straightened up instinctively. "What's this……"

Tom blinked at Harry with an amused expression. "That's what I wanted to warn you about," he said, with a stifled laugh, "that the time for my Transfiguration Charm on the bench is almost up. If you keep ducking up there, you might end up falling head over heels."

After saying this, he left without hesitation, leaving Harry staring at the back in embarrassment and resentment.But the departure of the handsome boy effectively relieved the tense atmosphere, and he finally began to feel the tendency to lower his head below.Traitor, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth and cursing his body's reaction, but couldn't really do anything about it. After 10 minutes, he realized that all the blushing reactions had disappeared, so he jumped off the bench and hurried away in the opposite direction.

The lake was quiet again.A few ripples rippled gently on the surface of the water, and soon disappeared.

Harry returned to the castle to find that the ball in the great hall was not over yet.Carefully avoiding the light cast from the door, he circled up the stairs.At this moment, he just wanted to go back to the tower quickly... Hermione might not have gone back, and he didn't know if Ron had gone back...

"Harry, Harry!"

No sooner had he reached the middle of the marble stairs on the second floor than Harry heard someone calling him from below.Reluctantly, he turned his head and found that it was Cedric, and Cho was waiting for him in the hall not far away. "What's the matter?" Because he didn't want to lose his composure in front of Qiu, he tried his best to suppress his bad emotions.

Cedric ran upstairs to Harry. "I owe you one, remember?" he whispered to Harry, "I figured out the scream of the golden egg, and you'll understand when you take the golden egg to the shower... use the prefect's bathroom, Be quieter..." Immediately afterwards, he told Harry the location and password of the prefect's bathroom.

Harry didn't understand why he could know the secret of the golden egg after taking a bath, but his pride didn't allow him to ask, and Cedric didn't explain in detail.

"Would you like to say good night to me, Harry?" Cedric grinned as he walked down the two steps, his eyes suddenly stopping somewhere on Harry's face. "oh……"

Harry wasn't in the mood to continue talking to Cedric at the moment.He waved his hand at the other party hastily, and then climbed up, thinking about the vague reminder.

What kind of outlandish proposition is taking a golden egg to the bath?Can't Cedric be more clear?Harry had clearly told him before that the first project was a fire dragon...

Not long after, Harry returned to Gryffindor Tower.After walking past portraits of the drunk Fat Lady, he found the common room deadly deserted, as if everyone was still enjoying the dance down there.Ron sat bored by the fire by himself, and when he saw him coming in, he cheered up immediately: "Come on, Harry, you just missed a big secret!"

"What's the big secret?" Harry asked, walking over.He hoped that Ron would not gossip about who was in love with whom, because he was worried about it.

"It's Hagrid!" Ron approached Harry's armchair, lowering his voice mysteriously, "You would never guess that he is..."

Harry sat down, staring listlessly at his hands.After waiting for a while, but did not wait for Ron's next words, he couldn't help but wondered. "What is he?" He looked up and saw Ron staring at him with his mouth open, disbelief written all over his face. "What happened to you?"

Those words seemed to flip a switch in Ron. "'What's the matter with you'?" he said, imitating Harry's tone, in a much more pompous tone. "That's what I should have asked you!"

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked suspiciously, starting to get a little impatient.

Ron's eyes widened even further. "Don't tell me you didn't see—" He jumped out of the armchair and rummaged through the common room, looking for something.

Harry watched this scene inexplicably.Not long after, Ron rushed back panting and stuffed something into his hand. "Here you are, it works just fine!"

It was a small round mirror, fringed with gold and red petals, which a Gryffindor girl might have left behind.Harry became more and more confused, but he held it up anyway.In the mirror, he was still the same, except for two fresh wounds near the corners of his lips.

...Wait, he has a cut on his lip?

Harry immediately remembered the gaze and hesitant look on Cedric's face just now.He shook his hand and almost threw the mirror out.

Ron has been watching the words and expressions on the sidelines, and immediately asked when he saw this: "After Riddle found you just now, which girl did you find again? She bit your lip, she is too hot! Is it pretty? Wow, I didn't know you liked that—"

He talked excitedly and clicked his tongue, but Harry only felt a headache.What was he going to tell Ron?The hot beauty you imagined doesn't exist at all, and there is only one Tom Riddle from beginning to end?
