[Comprehensive] Sherlock's Secret

Chapter 116 Happy New Year

"In fact, Miss Leichter," Dumbledore answered her with a smile, "I went to Mr. Riddle before I came to you, but I didn't expect that you are friends?"

"I used to...be in an orphanage."

Dumbledore didn't ask her why she left the orphanage and became a vagrant, but asked, "If you want to go back, I can send you there."

"I'm not sure if Mrs. Cole would like me to stay, so forget it," Su Fu said, "So, I will see Tom at school, right?"

"Actually," Dumbledore smiled slyly, "you can meet him on the train to school."

Dumbledore left.

At that time, it was not long before the start of school. She lived in the Leaky Cauldron by herself, read her textbooks during the day, and ran to the bookstore in Diagon Alley after reading the textbooks. It is good to leave the handprint on the parchment page.

The fat maid at the Broken Ax Bar is a very funny person. She often tells Su Fu some anecdotes about the magical world. For example, a wizard in Surrey County likes to drink eggnog. Once he was drunk and broke into a Muggle’s house. , dyed the Muggle's hair rainbow colors, and when the Ministry of Magic arrived, the wizard was still chatting happily with the Muggle, it was unimaginable.

The comfortable and leisurely life during those days was something that Su Fu couldn't even imagine when she was a wanderer, and what made her even more happy was that she didn't have to go to school or take the train, and here she met her friends in advance Tom Riddle.

It happened to be a sunny afternoon, Su Fu came out of the bookstore, and was about to go back to the Leaky Cauldron to find the fat maid for lunch, but just walked to the middle of the street, because there were too many people in the school season, she was thin, and she was almost killed by others. run down.

Someone grabbed her shoulders and supported her to stand upright. At the same time, a young boy's gentle and pleasant voice sounded in her ears: "Are you all right?"

Su Fu frowned when she heard the sound, subconsciously turned her head to look... Then she looked into a pair of deep black eyes, those eyes were sharp, deep and charming, like obsidian, so familiar to her, no matter what, she would never forget them.

"Tom?"

"... Vera."

Before she could react, her friend had already given her a hug without hesitation. He held her tightly, as if if he let go, she would disappear with the crowd.

"I have a question," Sherlock patted her ear, "Why did he call you Vera?"

"you guess?"

"I'm not very good at trying to figure out what a crazy murderer was thinking as a teenager, and—it's actually Veronica, isn't it? Your middle name."

Su Fu smiled and said, "Should I praise you for your quick response or be glad you remembered my middle name?"

"And do you remember my full name? The longest one."

Su Fu said "Oh", "William Sherlock Scott Holmes, don't worry, I will never remember it wrong."

After all, things I remembered when I read books in my previous life.

Sherlock nodded with satisfaction, and then brought their topic back: "Why did he insist on calling you by your middle name, instead of calling you Sue like everyone else?"

"In order to be different from other people," Su Fu said firmly, "It's as simple as that. Everyone calls me Su, and he calls me Veronica in order to be different. Or in a sense, he I think the name Su is too common, like he never liked me calling him Tom, but unfortunately I was not as careful as I am now, and I didn't notice this at all."

"That's why he changed his name to Voldemort?"

"He felt he should be different."

"I knew we were different from those ordinary people!" This was the first sentence he said after the two parties reunited with the young Tom Riddle. The reaction when I heard that I was a wizard.

Time didn't seem to have any effect on their relationship, they chattered a lot of gossip, Tom was still what Su Fu remembered, at least on the surface.

And even after three or four years, they were still familiar with each other, and even had a tacit understanding. Tom didn't even forget Su Fu's habit of walking on the left side.

"Are you shopping alone?" Su Fu asked in surprise.

Tom nodded: "The professor at Hogwarts gave me the road map, so I came here by myself."

Su Fu looked at his empty hands, blinked and said: "You need a guide, sir, I will take this job, can you?"

"But I don't have enough money to pay you, Miss." Tom cooperated.

"Oh, it's okay, I just need an ice cream." Su Fu suppressed a smile, and then immediately turned serious, "Do you want to buy books first, or a wand first?"

"I want to hear you talk about your experiences over the years."

Su Fu pursed his lips: "There's nothing to say..."

She couldn't tell a lie, because Tom Riddle was so smart, if she told a lie, she would use countless lies to cover it up endlessly, but she didn't want to tell the truth to worry her friends.

"I want to know," Tom pulled her to sit under the sun umbrella of the ice cream shop, and bought her ice cream according to her request, "tell me, Vera."

So Su Fu adopted a more compromised statement: "The couple who went to the orphanage to adopt their children are actually human traffickers. They brought me to Northern Ireland and wanted to sell me to a circus—"

Before she finished speaking, when she looked up, she clearly saw that Tom's expression had changed a little. The sun was shining outside the parasol, while his complexion was gloomy, even grim... His light-colored lips were tightly pursed, and his nose and facial muscles were slightly tensed. Trembling, as if trying to endure something.

Su Fu frowned, she put down the ice cream, held his hand and continued: "But I ran out, ran for two days, fainted, was rescued by a plantation hostess, she allowed me to stay , She was very kind to me, if it wasn't for Dumbledore who asked me to study in a magic school, Elizabeth would go to a priest to adopt me as her adopted daughter, and then send me to a missionary school."

"Really?" Tom asked suspiciously.

Su Fu talked about the situation of the orchard again, and then he nodded, and said annoyedly: "If I knew it, I wouldn't have let you go with those two people..."

"It's okay," Su Fu laughed and laughed, "If you don't leave, you won't meet Elizabeth, she is really a good person..."

"Your ice cream is melting," Tom reminded her.

"For you to eat, why don't you buy one for yourself?"

The ice cream she handed over was pushed back by Tom: "You forgot that I don't like sweets, and the money we study is all funded by the school, it's better to save a little."

"Then you still buy me ice cream?"

Tom wiped the ice cream juice from her hair and whispered: "We will have a lot of money in the future, Vera, we will live better, and you will get everything you want, I promise you... ..."

"I know." Su Fu patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's buy you a wand first... There is only one wand shop, and Mr. Ollivander is a very mysterious person."

Different from Su Fu's ordinary wand, when Tom got his own wand, Mr. Ollivander sighed. He said a lot of things that no one could understand, and finally said to Tom: "Son, you are destined to achieve great things! Career, you will understand later..."

As he spoke, his silver moon-like eyes looked at the noisy street scene in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.Su Fu took Tom out, and he didn't even notice that they had left.

"He said that you will be a powerful person in the future." Walking on the street, Su Fu teased deliberately.

Tom should be very happy, but he still tried his best to hide his joy: "Who knows, maybe he said that to every customer who came to buy a wand."

"He never said that to me."

"That means that what he said is even more false." Tom looked down at her. "Vera must be a very good magician."

Su Fu smiled and said, "Hey, I think what you said is quite right."

She held Tom's arm and walked forward without looking at the road. Tom was still talking to her, and accidentally bumped into the person walking in front of him. He immediately supported the person and apologized. But the other party threw away his hand, looked him up and down with critical eyes, and said contemptuously, "Mudblood?"

He was still wearing ordinary people's clothes because he came to Diagon Alley for the first time, and an orphan's best clothes are not much better, so even if he has a good appearance and temperament, even if he is gentle and polite, he is just a beginner. In the wizarding world, he's just an orphan who doesn't know anything.

He didn't even understand the insulting nature of the word "Mudblood", so he just calmly withdrew his hand and said "Sorry" again.

But Su Fu knew what that sentence meant. She hadn't been in Diagon Alley for too long, but it was enough for her to understand the general life of wizards. She looked up at the tall lady and felt that she shouldn't cause trouble. , but still couldn't help clenching his fists.

"I really don't understand why the school allows mudbloods to enroll." It was a girl about thirteen or fourteen years old, with blond hair and blue eyes, red lips, but a haughty expression, looking at Tom and Su Fu with a mockery that could not be ignored , "You don't even know the existence of the wizarding world."

"I know now." Su Fu took a step forward, raised his chin and stared at her word by word and said, "There are not only wizards in the wizarding world, but also young ladies like you who are uneducated and speak bad words. Your parents must treat you well." Disappointed."

She successfully angered the young girl, because before Su Fu even finished speaking, she drew out her wand.

The tip of the wand was only two inches away from Su Fu's forehead. Tom immediately pulled her behind him. Just as he was about to say something, another elegant boy's voice quickly stopped the girl's movements.

"Josephine, this was originally your fault, I apologize to my juniors."

The light-blond boy walked over with regular steps and elegant posture, first pressed the hand of the girl named Josephine who was holding the wand, then bowed slightly and performed a standard noble etiquette, saying: "I am Abrak Seth Malfoy is your senior, I think...you must be willing to accept this lady's apology for her previous words and deeds."

Su Fu opened her mouth and wanted to say something like "I'm sorry, I don't want to accept it", but Tom held her shoulder and said neither humble nor humble: "We are just nobody, but if we meet elders in the future, Miss Aldrich I'm afraid you have to be careful with your words and deeds."

After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly to Abraxas Malfoy, then pushed Su Fu away.

Not far away, the two stopped at the same time.

"How do you know her last name is Aldrich?"

"Don't mess with those people just yet."

Su Fu and Tom said at the same time.

After the words were spoken in unison, the two of them glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.
