In the gloomy Hogwarts library, there was a dim, dim candlelight dancing.Holding the candlestick was a teenager wearing a large black cloak.His face was covered by a cloak, so he couldn't see clearly, but through his movements, it could be seen that he was concentrating on reading the book, and the pages were flipped extremely quickly by pale, slender fingers.

"Encyclopedia of Magic Spells in the Eighteenth Century", "Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells", "Advanced Potion Making"... one after another, the young man tirelessly read and memorized.

If anyone could pass by and recognize him, it would be a surprise.Because this is Tom Riddle, the best student in Slytherin.

How could Riddle, who was the most sensible and disciplined, do such a thing as breaking into the library late at night?Maybe the reason can be glimpsed from the books he read.He is only in the third grade this year, but the books he has read are far beyond what he should read.

Advanced books in the wizarding world generally bear magical imprints, and wizards may suffer mental backlash when they read books that exceed their own magical skills. What's more, there are... forbidden/books among the books Riddle reads.

The library was very quiet, except for the rustling sound of turning pages, only the old wall clock was ticking, and it struck twice dully at two o'clock.

Night is the thickest time.At this point, the entire Hogwarts is in a deep sleep, and even the portraits in the corridor are dreaming soundly.

Riddle closed the book and put all the books back in their place.Then he picked up the candlestick and went back to Slytherin's bedroom without a sound.

From beginning to end, like a ghost, no one has discovered it.

When he woke up the next day, Riddle got his wish and saw the oriental girl he was thinking of on the bedside.

That is Daiyu.After more than a month of grief, she looked much lighter, wearing a moon-white dress.There is a condensed gloomy color entangled between the brows, making him look thinner and weaker.In her hair was the white ornament that Riddle knew was worn by people in the East to mourn the loss of a relative.

"Day..." Riddle said with difficulty, and found that his voice was very hoarse.

Daiyu turned her head to look at him, with a smile on her originally sad face.

Riddle looked at her with a complicated expression.

"You don't have to be so strong in front of me," he said.

In front of me, you don't have to force yourself to smile, you don't have to be scruples, and you don't have to support everything yourself.You can reveal your truest self in front of me, because our companions are twins and should be one.

Riddle held out a hand in an inviting gesture. "Believe me."

Daiyu looked at the hand in front of her.It was much bigger than my own hand, thin and long, but it was warm and seemed very secure, and I didn't know how to react for a while.

Riddle waited patiently.

The girl in front of her first clenched her embroidered handkerchief, and then she wanted to stretch out her hand, but she was a little hesitant.

However, his hand was still so steady, waiting for her so steadily, as if it would never change.

Daiyu took a breath, and put her hand on the man's palm as calmly as possible.

It's like a frightened bird flying back to its nest that makes it feel at ease, and like a prey voluntarily thrown into a trap set by a hunter.

As soon as their skins came into contact, Riddle wrapped Daiyu's hand completely in his own.

While Daiyu felt the warmth, she had an illusion in a trance, as if she was trapped.

"I believe in you." Daiyu said.

The girls of the Lin family have always been strong and self-reliant, and never trust others easily, but once they believe, they will never change.

Of course Riddle knew this too, but he didn't say anything, sometimes silence was the best expression.

At this moment, a magical change suddenly appeared in the atmosphere between the two of them. Under the influence of this atmosphere, it seemed that a strange seed had been planted in Daiyu's heart. The root system is dormant, waiting for the moment when it breaks through the ground.

After washing up quickly, Riddle took Daiyu to the Hogwarts common room.

He has no classes this morning, so staying in the common room is a better option.

He was reading The Standard Five Grades of Spells, a wizard's book.Although Hogwarts has a large collection of books, it is difficult for ordinary people like Daiyu who do not know magic to understand.Fortunately, Riddle had already prepared and took out a copy of "Shakespeare's Four Comedies" and placed it in front of Daiyu.

This is a book only for Muggles, and he went out to buy it during Hogwarts' vacation time, just for Daiyu's entertainment.

During this period of time, the Muggle world was not peaceful. Wars broke out among many countries, and the fighting was in full swing. It was difficult for ordinary people to live peacefully as before.

However, all the turmoil outside cannot have a great impact on the magic world. The wizards here are still studying magic every day and living their own ordinary and magical lives.

In fact, Daiyu doesn't follow the etiquette as she shows. She is knowledgeable and reasonable, revealing a trace of willful rebellion.She has her own true temperament, and she will not change because of those etiquette.It's like that although she is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, she is never limited to those classic books, but always likes to read some "idle books" and get her own opinions from the stories.

This is his dexterous and transparent little oriental girl.

I want her to stay with me, or I can stay with her longer.thought Riddle.

The two have their own thoughts, but after all, they are both extremely smart, and they can read books equally quickly.

Time is always fleeting.Soon it was Riddle's class time.

The first class is the history of magic, taught by a very, very "old" ghost, no one knows when he died, only that he is familiar with the history of magic hundreds of thousands of years ago.Although most people still think his class is very boring.

But usually such a boring course became lively and interesting with Daiyu's company.Riddle was absent-mindedly listening to Professor Phantom rambling on about some old things, and at the same time he was writing quickly in his notebook to add some historical knowledge to Daiyu.

"What's wrong?" Realizing that Daiyu was a little distracted and was looking at her right back, Riddle wrote these words with a quill pen.

"It's nothing." Daiyu quickly regained her composure.She had just noticed that some girls in the class were not listening to the class at all, but had been staring blankly at Riddle's back and laughing, so she couldn't help but take a second look.

Speaking of which, Riddle is tall and slender now.He has already reached the year of dancing spoons, if he is placed in Jinling, he is already old enough to get married...

When he lowered his head, the light cast a light shadow on his face, making it look like the whole face was carved out of jade, with a high nose and deep eyes, extremely handsome.

Daiyu looked at the strand of curly hair hanging over Riddle's face, and suddenly had the urge to brush it up.

How could she have such an idea?Daiyu's face turned red all of a sudden, and she pursed her lips uncomfortably.

Riddle immediately noticed her abnormality and asked with his eyes.

But Daiyu didn't answer any more, just lowered her head and looked at him, her eyes flickering, she hesitated to speak.

Riddle was puzzled, and looked back to the right again, and found that Abraxas Malfoy was chatting and laughing with his companions, his platinum-blond hair was shining brightly under the light.

Well, the Malfoys were good looking, even though they were pompous and stupid.Riddle reluctantly admitted, but the quill broke under his strong grip.

"What's the matter?" This time it was Daiyu's turn to ask.

"What the teacher just said was wonderful." Riddle picked up another new quill pen and continued writing as if nothing had happened.

Have it?Daiyu blinked innocently, her upper and lower eyelashes touched lightly and then parted, but she didn't know that Riddle's heart skipped a beat.
