[Comprehensive] Love between the two worlds

The Riddle Mansion is located on a hillside, where the terrain is open and the entire village can be seen.There is no doubt that a house built in such a good location must also be a beautiful and grand house.

It is not difficult for wizards to avoid the eyes of male and female servants and gardeners in the garden. Riddle and Daiyu watched the middle-aged blond woman who looked like the hostess leave in a carriage, and then quietly Sneak into Riddle's room on the second floor.

Pushing open the door, the room was a bit dark, Daiyu looked at the window, only to see a lot of curtains that were tightly covered.

No one was seen in the room, but a bulge could be seen under the quilt through the gap in the curtain. It seemed that old Riddle should still be sleeping.

Riddle cast a Repelling Muggle Charm and an Anti-Disturbance Charm on the room, so as to ensure that it would not be disturbed by other people, and would not be noticed.

Walking lightly to the bed, Riddle looked at the man who could be called his "father" with complicated emotions.

Old Tom Riddle, the male owner of the Riddle Mansion, was falling asleep in a daze, trapped in the inescapable dream more than ten years ago, when he suddenly felt a strange sight falling on him.He didn't sleep well at first, but when this weird feeling came up, his drowsiness disappeared completely, and he tried hard to open his eyes. Sure enough, there were two people standing in front of the bed.

The room was too dim and there was not enough light. Old Riddle couldn't see the faces of the two people in front of him clearly, but he barely recognized a man and a woman from their figures.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" He asked warily.

"Tom Riddle," said the man.

"What do you want to do?" Old Riddle thought he was calling his name, and even thought that this person came with ulterior motives. His hand hidden under the quilt quietly touched the bell that summoned the servants, hoping to call the servants to drive them away.

However, his hand suddenly couldn't move.The quilt seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and it firmly pressed his hand under it, no matter how hard he tried secretly, he couldn't shake it a bit.

This familiar yet strange feeling... A touch of panic gradually surfaced in Old Riddle's heart.

"My full name is," the visitor said word by word: "...Tom Marvolo Riddle. Few people are more familiar than you."

Old Riddle's hands trembled imperceptibly: "You are... a descendant of Marvolo, and you are also... a descendant of Riddle?"

"You are Merope Gaunt's son?!" He propped himself up on the bed and sat up.

"He is also your son." Daiyu reminded.

"Are you wizards?" After all, old Riddle had experience dealing with wizards, so he quickly figured out what happened just now, and he began to doubt: "What are you guys doing here again? Haven't the previous incidents been enough?"

Daiyu felt that the stone that was hanging in her heart finally fell down, and it weighed heavily on her heart, making her breathless. Hearing such an answer, the deep disappointment and frustration almost made her stomach All tangled up.I wondered how disappointed Riddle would be beside me.

She wants to question the man, how can this be done?You are Riddle's father, you are Riddle's only family member besides Morfin Gunter, how can you treat your child like this, how can you hurt your own flesh and blood that you haven't seen for more than ten years?

In the end, though, she just stood there, wordlessly wrapping her arms around Riddle, snuggling up to him.

A feeling of stagnation and astringency rose up in her chest, and Daiyu couldn't help coughing lightly.

"How are you, Dai?" Riddle looked down at her.

Daiyu shook her head to signal Riddle to leave her alone.

Riddle suddenly sighed. "I'm tired." He said, his eyes fell on old Riddle wearily, "I don't want to worry about who should be responsible and who should confess, and I don't need the care and condolences from my father, just tell me what happened back then How about it, after you and Merope left?"

He reached out and turned on the desk lamp, and the soft light shone on the faces of the three people in the room.Two of the men had equally handsome faces.It's just that one is in full bloom, and the other has decayed due to the erosion of the years.

Old Riddle stared blankly at the boy in the black robe. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and his face was almost that of a boy himself, but if he looked carefully, he could also find some shadows of Merope.

Merope, that ordinary peasant girl, he never thought that the ordinary girl was actually a wizard.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Seeing his hesitant expression, Riddle said, "It's not like that, you don't even have the right to know the truth."

Old Riddle looked at the young girl who was snuggling in front of him, and seemed to overlap with himself and Merope back then, and his thoughts began to wander, as if he had returned to that summer more than ten years ago.

As always, he drove the carriage past the homeless house of the homeless Gaunt. The sun was so poisonous that he was thirsty, but he saw a girl in coarse linen waving to him with a bowl of water inside the fence.

In fact, after walking for at most 10 minutes, you can reach the Riddle Mansion.However, looking at the young girl smiling at him under the scorching sun, Riddle thought it would be okay to drink a bowl of water.

"Is it okay for you to live alone?" Riddle looked at the dilapidated house. Morfin Gaunt was imprisoned for assaulting him, and the old guy Marvolo Gaunt was also imprisoned for assaulting the police.He didn't sympathize with them, and even felt that they deserved what they deserved, so he let out a breath of anger, but he couldn't help feeling a little pity for the girl in front of him, as if the strong were playing with the weak.

"It's okay." Merope nodded shyly, and urged, "Drink this bowl of water quickly, you must be very hot."

Riddle closed his eyes and drank the water in one gulp.The bowl fell from his hands and smashed to pieces on the ground.When I open my eyes again, the world has changed and everything is different.

Everything around him seemed to have turned into a gray-black still life, and Merope was the only vivid color in his eyes.

His heart was tightly tied to her, and her every move broke his heart.

When she offered to leave with him, Riddle agreed without hesitation.How can the beautiful smiling face of fiancee Rosa compare to the trace of sadness between Merope's brows?

They lived in London for a long time, hard but happy.Riddle, who has been a young master since he was a child, never thought that he would willingly sell his labor for a woman and do a dirty and tiring job.But no matter how hard he worked, every night when he came back, he could drink a bowl of soup cooked by Merope himself, and his fatigue was eliminated.

Soon, Merope was pregnant with his child.He feels genuine happiness and responsibility as a father.On this night, Merope told him his identity as a wizard.

He watched the pots and pans in the kitchen being cleaned spontaneously under the control of the wand, and was shocked for a moment, but he was soon relieved.What did it matter that Merope was a wizard?Even if she is not human at all, he still loves her.

He jokingly said to her, honey, I love you so much, it's not that you cast some magic on me.But Merope suddenly had a stomachache and began to cry, so he had no choice but to comfort her carefully.

Every night, they would sit together in front of the dim oil lamp, and Merope would knit a pair of socks for him by the light, while he would spread out an old fairy tale book found at a local stall and read stories to her. .Read it to the illiterate Merope, and also to the crystallization of the love between the two in her stomach.

"...At that time, I thought I would love her like this forever and be with her forever." Old Riddle raised his head, looking complicatedly at the hands of his son and Daiyu who had similar features to him, "It's like You stay like this until..."

"Until the love potion loses its effect?" Riddle asked, "You developed resistance?"

"No, the potions in your magic world are so effective.

powerful. "Old Riddle shook his head and smiled wryly: "Until that day she suddenly walked up to me and told me..."

One day, Riddle put on his overalls and was about to go out when Merope suddenly stopped him.

"Honey, I think our baby is about to be born." Merope stroked her swollen belly, "We should give him a better living environment."

"I will work hard to make money. The manager has already promised me a salary increase." Riddle stroked her face and said, "I will give you the best living environment and don't worry about our children."

"I mean, don't you want to go back?" Merope said, looking at him warily.

Riddle understood what she meant, and wanted to return to the Riddle Mansion. Indeed, if he went back, he would be able to live comfortably, he would not have to work hard, and his unborn child would also be able to receive a good education.

"People in Little Hangleton Village probably won't accept us. There are a lot of troubles." Riddle was a little embarrassed, but seeing Merope's disappointed expression, he immediately said: "But it doesn't matter, we went back, and they didn't Dare to say anything."

"Great! I don't want our children to live like I did when I was a child." Merope hugged him happily, and Riddle carefully avoided her stomach and hugged her back, rubbing her chin against her dry skin hair.

"Honey, you do love me, even without the love potion," Merope whispered.

"What love potion?" Riddle asked suspiciously.

"I'm sorry, I lied to you before." Merope stuck out his tongue in order to hide his nervousness, "I once fed you a love potion, which is a potion that will make others fall in love. That's how you Willing to follow me."

"Boom!" With a sound, Riddle froze in place, "You, what did you say?"

"That's over, we're fine now, aren't we? Can you forgive me?" Merope begged.

"You're cheating!" Riddle exclaimed angrily.

"No!" Merope shouted: "It's not like this anymore, we really love each other, I haven't fed you love potions for three days, do you know that?"

"Have you thought about it for me?! Did you know that I still have a fiancée?" Riddle pushed away Merope who was holding him, and Merope fell on the bed, and he quickly supported her.

"But what you love now is not her, but me!" Merope cried, holding Riddle's hand tightly, "Think about it, do you love me or her now? We have a child! "

Riddle was panting, his love for Rosa had become very weak, and at the same time, the heart that loved Merope was beating violently, showing his sense of existence.

The effects of the love potion should have passed, right?

But... He couldn't stand such a deception no matter what!Such a fabricated, selfish and hypocritical love!Looking back on my inexplicable year, it was like a farce.

Riddle felt that he could no longer face Merope's tears, scratched his hair irritably, and said hoarsely: "I'll go for a walk."

"Wait," Merope grabbed a big black umbrella in the corner and handed it to him, "It's raining outside, don't get wet and get sick."

However, once he left, he never came back.
