History loves deeds of heroism and condemns the consequences of such deeds. ——"Mysterious Island"

The exposed news of Myrtle's death spread quickly among the teachers and students of the whole school, which caused panic among Hogwarts.I was so frightened that I became paler and thinner visibly to the naked eye day by day.And this news also triggered a particularly stupid thing, that is, various secret medicines to ward off evil spirits began to be circulated among students in private.Impatiently, I dodged an extremely smelly onion and walked through the corridor on the second floor, preparing to go to Potions class.

However, when I walked quickly through the corridor on the second floor, there were still professors coming and going in the girls' bathroom and a large group of curious male and female students standing at the door, most of them were Gryffindors, watching the students blocking the corridor. I frowned as the crowd watched.I stopped in my tracks and turned my head to look over to the bathroom. The door of the bathroom seemed to be shrouded in a hazy halo, just like that night.

The shadow reflected on the wall slowly expanded, and the image of Tom Riddle seemed to flash from the door of the bathroom in the next second, and with his group of loyal followers, he looked proud, powerful, and in full bloom, but his face was full of With a weird smile on his face, he just appeared in front of my eyes.However, what really appeared in front of me at this moment was Dumbledore's slender figure. He was obviously quite tired, but he still smiled kindly at me. I regained consciousness instantly and greeted him politely.

"Miss Christ, please come with me." Dumbledore bowed his head and said to me gently, I nodded somewhat cautiously, and responded: "Yes, Professor Dumbledore."

Professor Dumbledore took me to the corner of the stairs on the second floor, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to me, and I took it with my full suspicion. "Professor Dumbledore, what is this?" I hastily put the letter into my backpack, and couldn't help asking the professor in front of me. "Isabel, this is a letter from your parents. In order to prevent this letter from being intercepted, they specifically asked me to deliver it to you directly." Dumbledore's face was a little bit bad, but he still forced himself to smile amiably. , I became even more uneasy, my parents didn't know what was going on, I whispered while thinking: "Thank you, sir, for your trouble."

After Professor Dumbledore handed me the letter again, he motioned me to follow him. I silently followed him into the girls' bathroom. Myrtle was still crying loudly. Several professors carefully to search.I lowered my eyes and didn't look at this scene. Only I know how guilty I am.

"Isabel, is there anything you want to tell me?" I felt Dumbledore's focused gaze cast on me, with a slight expectation hidden in it, but I couldn't tell the truth because I was really afraid of the truth As for the consequences of being exposed, I just answered perfunctorily: "About what, sir?" "Myrtle!" Looking into Dumbledore's bright blue eyes, he answered emphatically, "No, sir, nothing."

"Thank you very much, Miss Christ, you can leave now." Professor Dumbledore looked a lot older all of a sudden, his eyes dimmed, but he still had a kind smile on his face. "It's nothing, I'm happy to help, sir." I turned and left, although I felt slightly sorry for the professor's lying, but I didn't regret it, in every sense.

I struggled to finish the day's class, and when I returned to the lounge, I immediately curled up tiredly in the soft armchair and closed my eyes. Since that day, I have lived every day like hell, no matter what Whether it was Myrtle or Tom brought endless torture to my heart.Now I can only rely on certain refreshing and exciting potions to maintain my state in class, and I can clearly feel that I am losing weight rapidly. If I continue like this, I may not be able to last long.

After resting for a while, I dragged my heavy body back to the dormitory, took out the letters from home in my schoolbag and prepared to read them.However, as soon as I saw the envelope, I felt dizzy. What happened? ! !My father used almost every protective spell he could think of to seal the envelope.Alarm bells were ringing in my heart, and I used all the magic I knew to create a purely private space in the dormitory before I began to study the letter, which was wrapped in a protective spell.I became more and more uneasy as I lifted the spells one by one. What exactly did my father want to say to me? So many spells are needed, and I can't let him feel at ease if I hand it over to Professor Dumbledore?What is the secret in this letter? I broke the last spell, and the parchment with the family emblem was quickly unfolded in front of me.

"Here comes Grindelwald,

He wants the Krist family to move back to Germany to serve him,

I have returned to Germany with your mother and Elsa and newborn Alice,

Alice and the others are about to be placed under house arrest by Grindelwald, but their lives are not in danger for the time being, but he is going to England, and he may have already arrived when the letter reaches you.

Remember!Don't be found by him. Although you are not his main target, he doesn't mind bringing you back with him.

It's safe to stay at Hogwarts with Dumbledore,

We entrust him with your care,

take good care of yourself,

Mom and Dad we will always love you.

Geoffrey Crystal / Diana Crist / Elsa Crist / Alice Crist”

I fell down on the bed with the letter in my hand, my whole body was limp, tears burst out of my eyes instantly, my heart was shaken for a moment, I wanted to rush to confess everything to Professor Dumbledore.My family is imprisoned, but I'm so weak and can't do anything, and the potential danger is around me, I have no doubt that Grindelwald has the ability to break into the castle, Hogwarts is far behind us I imagined it was so safe, thinking of Grindelwald's terrible reputation, I hugged my shoulders in fear and couldn't help trembling.

Several days had passed by the time I was in a state of dismay and regained my composure. In the end, I suppressed the idea of ​​confessing to Professor Dumbledore. It was still the same reason. Now I am too weak to bear the consequences of being exposed.Then I silently accepted Jele Davies' invitation to the ball, agreed that he wanted me to be happy, smiled weakly at him, and left, thinking that I really needed to take a break from my stress , the prom is a good opportunity, I can't go on like this.

"Isabelle, are you alright? Jele is already waiting for you." There was a knock on the door, and the optimistic and cheerful voice of my roommate, the first-year student Rebecca Swan, sounded outside, "I'll be here soon Come!" I stood quietly in front of the window in a gorgeous evening dress, watching the sunset, but I didn't have any romantic thoughts in my heart. parchment, looking down at the ashes that the paper fell from the fingers.I smiled with a heavy heart. The dance held by Slughorn is a good opportunity. According to the instructions received from Volpes, I will approach Carol, lure Hagrid, and mislead the direction of the investigation.

I turned around and left the dormitory. Jelle was already fully dressed and sitting on an armchair in the common room, flipping through a book, but he was obviously in a daze. I gently put my hand on his shoulder and said softly: " Jelle, we can go." I stood behind him, wearing a dark blue dress and a white gauze shawl with crushed opals, which glowed softly in the afterglow of the evening, and I didn't pull up my hair , letting the long flaxen hair hang down like this, a few mischievous strands of hair concealed a delicate sapphire necklace on the white neck. "You are beautiful!" Jele said to me in admiration. For a girl, no one would refuse a man's compliment on her beauty. I raised the corners of my lips and replied politely: "Thank you, Mr. Davis, You are still handsome today." I let Jelle hold my hand and left the Ravenclaw lounge side by side.

I walked slowly onto the dance floor holding Jeller's arm. The light and shadow cast by hundreds of pairs of gold and silver dancing shoes created a hazy and ambiguous atmosphere. The night air was filled with the charming breath of roses, echoing with laughter and talking. The sound, the crisp sound of the silver goblet colliding with the table.

I casually glanced sideways at the audience, Maxwell, Andre, Ansair, Trisha, Elizabeth, El, Abraxas, Sylvia, Stella, and... …Tom Riddle, I smiled, it's really full of people.There was a faint smile on Jele's face. He put one arm around my waist and interlocked my fingers with the other. We spun gracefully on the dance floor with the gentle and lingering music. Jele quickened his pace. , and I let him hold me in his arms and follow his dance steps. This is the last indulgence. I have no more energy to talk about love, and I am about to embark on my own journey.

My eyes were deeply hallucinated by Jelle's affectionate pupils, and the flickering candle flames stung my eyes.The temperature from Jelle's fingertips spread to my hand. At that moment, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed, but I didn't waver.Ursula and I passed shoulder-to-shoulder between the swirling skirts, but when I inadvertently looked at the dancing man with Ursula in his arms, I couldn't help but shudder, and my feet slowed down and almost fell Fortunately, Jelle wrapped his arms around me and hugged me into his arms.

"What's the matter?" Jeller caressed my back and asked me in a gentle voice. I raised my chin and pointed at the man in the air, and asked, "Jeller, have you seen that man? It was with Ursula. The one where Hoss danced." With a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, he took my hand and walked off the dance floor in a gentlemanly manner, but his eyes were very serious. He pressed my forehead and said, "Isabel, I I hope you have a good time tonight, instead of being disturbed by these things." I didn't want him to worry about me, so I reluctantly pulled the corners of my mouth, but I believe my smile must be ugly, "I'm very happy, Jay Le, I haven't been this happy for a long time." "Is it because of Myrtle? Isabel, let the past go, let go of it and you will live more freely." Jele enlightened me, "Life is hard. Short, carpe diem." "Jele, some things can't be let go easily." I replied a little sullenly, I took the white wine handed over by Geler, and thanked him for his thoughtfulness, "Thank you, Geler."

Just as we were talking at the dining table, a huge black figure gradually approached. I looked back in surprise, and instantly understood that it was Carol walking over with a big man more than two meters tall talking and laughing. .That must be Hagrid. I heard that he is only in the third grade this year. The Slytherins said he was a half-blood giant. Now it seems that this is true.

"I want to take a break, Jelle." I turned to look at Jelle, and smiled apologetically at him. "Okay, then I'll come to you later, I wish you a good night." Jele thoughtfully kissed the back of my hand, and left in a random direction. I thought silently, what a good man, what a pity... …

I hid in the corner with a glass of wine and endured the whole dance, praying anxiously that the man would not notice me. Fortunately, he was stumbled by Professor Dumbledore. Although I don't know what happened between them, but this It's a good thing for me, even though I'm not sure if that's who I think it is.When the ball was announced to be over, I breathed a sigh of relief, it was great, the tense atmosphere between Professor Dumbledore and that man was unbearable, I gathered the shawl on my shoulders and prepared to go back.The only thing I regret is that I didn't get a good chance to get close to Carol and Hagrid until the end of the dance, but the future is long, isn't it?

Afterwards, I let Jele hold my shoulders and left the ballroom. Tom Riddle and his suitor, Miss Vera, walked out and passed us.But I didn't have the energy to pay attention to what was going on with Riddle, because we were right behind Ursula and the man - was it really you?Gellert Grindelwald... At the corner, he leaned slightly, the family crest on his chest flashed and disappeared into the darkness under the dim light, and then their figures disappeared gradually into the darkening night.The light made my heart faintly cold, and a wave of fear overwhelmed me, and I couldn't help but tightened Jelle's hand.If I'm not mistaken, it's the crest of the Grindelwald family. I saw it when my father taught me to identify the crests of each family when I was a child. That's right, he is Gellert Grindelwald.

He's here, right next to me, I'm sure he must have seen me, I think it's probably because he doesn't want to cause trouble, he didn't do anything to me, but maybe one day he won't let me go like today, He's in Hogwarts already, so it depends on his mood when he wants to catch me.Why? !Why didn't Professor Dumbledore stop him?To let him roam Hogwarts with such swagger, threatening the very students he had promised to protect.Thinking of this in despair, I am going hysterical. I think I can only rely on myself now, I have no one to rely on, and no one is worthy of complete trust.

Walking out of the auditorium, Jele and I walked to the periphery of a small garden outside the auditorium. I was slightly relieved from the great panic and confusion by the cool wind. Let him see more of my unbearable appearance. "Isabel, my beautiful dance partner, I wish you a happy night." Jele kissed the back of my hand with a little regret, but still thoughtfully gave me a space to be alone, I stood where I watched him leave, I let out a breath slowly, but before I could get my mood together, a half-familiar voice sounded behind me: "Good evening, Miss Christ, you look a bit unwell, may I ask you Do you need help?" I turned around in surprise, I didn't expect that there were bachelors wandering around in such a holy place for dating, and then I clearly saw Andre Audians standing under the shade of the tree, just now at the dance party I found out that he is a master who always sits on the bench because he is so polite that he has a great sense of distance. It is not incomprehensible to be alone here now. We are also familiar with the difference. "It's okay, but can you walk with me?" I rubbed my forehead tiredly. I'm a little tired after thinking about so many things today. It's good to have someone to accompany me, "Of course, my honor .” Andre smiled good-naturedly, and lent me his arm in a gentlemanly manner.

When we were about to pass through the garden, Andre glanced around sharply, then suddenly covered my mouth and pulled me to hide in the dark. I was in a daze and stared at Andre with wide eyes.Half of his face was hidden in the shadows where the light couldn't shine directly, with a serious face, Andre put his index finger on his lips and made a silent gesture to me, which made me realize the seriousness of the situation, I obediently Hiding in place did not dare to make a sound.It was very quiet around the two of us, only the background sound of the natural environment, but when I looked around nervously, I suddenly heard the restless rustling of the bushes in front of us, which was definitely not produced by the wind blowing branches and leaves voice, and then a low muffled grunt and then I saw Tom fall out of the bushes and Stella straddled him, the two of them still tongue-kissing, their clothes disheveled and messed up The clothes exposed a large area of ​​skin, and there were some red marks on it.Seeing this scene, I gasped, my knees gave way and I fell out of the hiding place, and I accidentally dragged out Andre who was covering my mouth. We both sat down in front of Tom and Stella in fright. Seeing them staring at us like murderous eyes, I wanted to cry without tears, and wanted to blow away the idiot me before, telling you to go this way, look, bad luck!

Tom pushed away Stella who was pressing on him, sat up, and straightened his clothes slowly. Stella rubbed against Tom's cheek like a cat and acted like a baby, but Andre and I could only sit there in fear and didn't dare to move. .I can't forget Tom's murderous look just now, I really felt the cold feeling, I don't know what will happen to Tom if I run away.After tidying up, Tom pulled Stella up and looked down at us. His narrowed eyes made my heart skip a beat. Is this going to get rid of us?My body began to tremble unconsciously, but I couldn't control it.

"Cruciatus!" A cold voice sounded above Andre and me, a flash of light flashed, I screamed and rolled on the ground, the body that endured Cruciatus for the first time absorbed all the pain, my mind ached It was blank, only to hear another man's familiar voice screaming, but I couldn't figure out who it was, the pain, it was too painful.When the pain subsided a little, I knelt on the ground panting, my limbs twitched with pain, I thought, I'm really... too ugly, at this moment a cold snort rang in my ears: "Forget it, I let you off this time, Miss Christ, remember there is no next time, you know the consequences." I struggled to reply in a low voice: "Yes, Mr. Riddle, please forgive my rudeness." Tom stared at me: " Don’t forget, forget everything.” I was startled, but the forgetting curse didn’t hit me, it shot at Andre who was still struggling in pain beside me, and then he just passed out like this. In the coma, his muscles were still twisting unconsciously. In the dream, he wailed: "I was wrong! Let me go! Let me go...".

Then I leaned against the tree behind me to regain my strength, and watched Tom and Stella leave hand in hand, he was floating and Andre seemed to be taking him to the infirmary, I knew he would never let Andre have a chance to reveal his secret .I doubt myself a little sadly, I choose Tom to swear allegiance, is it really right?
