[HP] The Dark Duke's Candy

Valentine's Day is coming soon.

It happened to be Hogsmeade Day, and Candice asked Riddle to go with her.

She was sitting in front of the mirror in the dormitory, combing her hair carefully, while Louise stood behind watching, enviously said: "Your hair is so beautiful, Candice, it shines like Jin Gallon."

Candice said with a smile: "My hair is not as flattering as Jin Gallon. No one dislikes Jin Gallon, but my hair is not necessarily so."

Louise stepped forward and stroked her hair: "Our hair care methods are similar, why is your hair so smooth and smooth?"

Euphemia half-lyed on the bed and said, "And there's a lot of volume! Merlin knew that my hair started falling out in handfuls after going to school, and if this continues, I'm going to be bald!"

Candice looked back at her and said, "You should find a solution with Freemont, Mia, Freemont has a lot of hair, you see his curly hair is messy all day long, which means that there is no good in having too much hair." .”

Speaking of Fremont, Euphemia blushed, and she hesitated for a while before saying, "Are you going on a date with Riddle today, Candice?"

Anita was changing her clothes, and couldn't help but said when she heard this: "Of course, Mia, do you still need to ask? You can tell by looking at her dressing so hard."

Euphemia hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing, nodded and fell silent.

It was Louise, who stared at the school robe on Candice and said, "You don't plan to wear this to go on a date, do you?"

Candice looked down at her clothes: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Louise frowned and said, "Come on, Candice, going to Hogsmeade is one of the few times when we don't have to wear a school uniform, and you still have to wear a school robe?"

Candice was stunned, she really didn't expect this, she stood up and walked to her closet, took out a black robe and said, "Then I wear this?"

The corner of Louise's mouth twitched, she got up helplessly and went to her closet, after searching for a long time, she carried two clothes to Candice's bed.

Candice stared at the two clothes that Louise threw on her bed, pointed to herself and said, "You don't want me to wear this, do you?"

Anita glanced at it and said, "Is that Muggle clothes?"

Louise nodded and said: "This is jeans. Muggle girls like to wear these. They show your figure very well. You have such a good figure, you must look beautiful in them. And this one, you can wear this coat on your white sweater Outside." Louise matched her seriously, but Candice looked a little flustered.

"This, this doesn't seem to suit me." She took the jeans and said with a blushing face, "I always feel like I didn't wear them on the bed, it's too close..."

Louise pushed her and said, "How do you know if you don't try it? It just needs to be close-fitting to look good. My clothes may be a bit big for you, but it doesn't matter. We have magic, just a shrinking spell. ’ She picked up her wand and cast a spell over the jeans, which quickly became Candice’s size.

Anita sat there looking at it for a while and said, "You can really try Candice, which may make Riddle's eyes shine? You probably haven't worn such pants since you were a child?"

Candice still looked a little embarrassed, but she couldn't stand the insistence of her roommates, so she finally had to put on the jeans honestly.

Candice has a white loose sweater. The fluffy sweater has a high collar. Her neck is slender and slender, which looks great in it.

At this moment, she was wearing tight-fitting jeans and a sweater, standing in front of the magic full-length mirror. The mirror praised her beauty as much as possible, and Candice was embarrassed by the words.

"But I still think it's weird." She tugged on the sweater and tossed her hair. "It feels like I'm not wearing pants."

Louise rolled her eyes and said, "Are all pure-blood witches so conservative? You really should go and see the pictorial girls in the Muggle world, they hate having to wear clothes."

The three pure-blood witches were dumbfounded by what she said, and Louise sighed and said, "Then I will invite you to my house this holiday, and I will take you to the world of Muggles to learn a lot."

The girls really don't know much about the Muggle world, so they happily agreed after hearing what Louise said.

All in all, Candice couldn't put on her familiar robe in the end, so she put on a beige coat over a sweater and jeans, and set off with everyone with her long blonde hair.

I have to say that Candice is really beautiful and has a good figure. Although Louise is average in appearance, her aesthetics are still acceptable. Candice wears the clothes she chose, and when she appears in front of other students, she looks attracted all the attention.

"They're all looking at me." Candice tugged on her coat, "Did I block the back?"

Louise grabbed her hand helplessly and said, "Stop dragging Candice, it's not elegant, aren't you a lady?"

Candice glared at her and said, "If you let me out in a robe, I must be very ladylike."

Anita smiled and hugged her shoulders and said: "Okay, dear Candy, you are really beautiful now, I'm going to be jealous of you, you didn't realize that as soon as you appeared, everyone's eyes were fixed on you On you?" She raised her chin not far away, "Look, Riddle's eyes are almost setting you on fire."

Candice had been wearing uncomfortable clothes just now, and didn't pay much attention to her surroundings. If Anita hadn't signaled, she would have not noticed that Riddle was standing not far away.

She looked up with complicated emotions, and was facing Riddle's black eyes.He was standing with a group of Slytherins, and he was probably about to come and line up to go to Hogsmeade. He probably stopped suddenly when he saw her in "weird" dress.

Candice clutched her sleeves nervously, and asked palely, "Do I look okay?"

Anita said: "Great, but why is your face so ugly? There is no girl standing here today who is more beautiful than you, be confident my dear!" She patted Candice on the shoulder hard, almost The defenseless Candice was knocked down.

Candice barely stopped, and looked in Riddle's direction awkwardly. He kept staring at her expressionlessly. He couldn't tell what kind of look it was, but the overall impression she had was... quite scary.

He doesn't seem to like her dressed like this?

Candice lowered her head, wanting to go straight back to the dormitory and change into her wizard robes, but Louise whispered, "They're here."

Candice pursed her lips, mustered up the courage to look up again, and faced Riddle and his party walking towards this side.

Malfoy is on Riddle's left, Lestrange is on his right, Avery, Rozier, Mulciber and others are behind him, they are all well-known figures in Slytherin. He came from an extraordinary background, but no one walked in front of him, surpassing him by half a step.

Like an uncrowned king, he led them to the end of the queue.The people in front of them all consciously moved away from their positions under their half-smile gazes. They were very accustomed to cutting forward and didn't stop until they reached Fremont.

Freemont looked at them indifferently, and stood in front of the Gryffindor girls and said coolly: "Please line up carefully, don't jump in line, please be a little more polite."

Abraxas glanced at him impatiently, and said coldly: "If your eyes weren't filled with achnatherum, you should be able to recognize that group of people voluntarily gave up their seats to us, Potter."

Freemont snorted coldly and said: "As you look like, if they don't get out of the way, they might be retaliated by you. Do you think others are willing to give up their seats to you?"

Abraxas narrowed his eyes and teased, "Mr. Potter, are you envious of our privileges? Because you have never caused such awe and fear in people, so you can't understand it, right?"

How can Fremont compare with the eloquent Malfoy?In Gryffindor, only Candice's eloquence can compete with Malfoy, but Candice is not in the mood to argue with Malfoy now, so she directly pulls Fremont behind her, and she is in Malfoy. Fu is in the front row.

Abraxas looked down at Candice, who was dressed as a Muggle, and casually raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Ah, so it's Miss Bell? What a surprise. If I didn't look carefully, I thought it came from somewhere." A stinking Mudblood."

Candice turned her head and said with a cold face: "Has the Malfoy family's upbringing been so low? Are you just talking about mudbloods?"

Abraxas pursed his lips and said, "For those whose blood is dirty and lowly, and who are not worthy of learning magic..." He gave Louise a special look, and then said meaningfully, "Such descriptions are very polite. It's over."

Candice wanted to say something, but Abu was pulled away suddenly, and someone walked in front of him, none other than Riddle.

Candice had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only shut her mouth and withdraw it.She glanced at Riddle a little restlessly, then turned back to face the front.

Fremont stood in front of her, looked at Riddle with complicated eyes for a while, then turned around and waited to go to Hogsmeade.

Plinlow caught two third graders who wanted to go to Hogsmeade on a date without their parents' signatures today. After they were taken away, the others were allowed to leave.

Candice quickened her pace and walked forward, as long as she thought of Riddle who was not pleasing to her eyes behind her, she felt uncomfortable all over.

She was dressed in Muggle clothes as if she hadn't, and she swore to herself that she would buy a new one when she got to the robe shop in Hogsmeade.

In February, Hogsmeade was still covered with snow. Candice walked into this pure wizarding village with her friends, and she was about to find a robe shop to buy clothes when she was held by someone.

She paused, looked back, and saw Riddle's handsome and picturesque side face in front of her eyes. She slightly opened her beautiful blue eyes. Riddle smiled politely at her friends, and said softly: "I'm taking her away, I wish you a happy day."

The three girls and one Fremont watched Riddle take Candice away from them. The girls were okay, at most they showed envy, and Fremont was a bit out of sorts.

It took him a lot of effort to resist not stepping forward to stop him. He stared at the three girls with red eyes and said, "Don't you stop me? Just let him take Candice away like this?"

Anita was puzzled and said, "Why did you stop them? They are boyfriend and girlfriend, and they agreed to date today."

Freemont was taken aback, and after a while he said to himself: "Yes, yes, they are boyfriend and girlfriend, there is no reason to stop them..." He turned away in a daze, and Euphemia followed worriedly , Louise and Anita glanced at each other, and soon discovered that in today's Hogsmeade, the two of them probably had to live by each other.

"Why didn't you go on a date with Lestrange? I remember you wrote him a love letter." Louise asked Anita on her arm.

Anita sighed and said, "Don't mention it! I asked Riddle to help me deliver the letter, but I don't know why the letter was lost. I wrote a new one and sent it, but it was too late. Francis seems to have an appointment ..." She said reluctantly, "He seems to want to play with that group of men, and he doesn't want to find a girl on a date."

Thinking that Lestrange seemed to be by Riddle's side every day, and rarely interacted with any girl alone, Louise nodded deeply, and then suddenly thought: "Wait, could he be a Gay right??"

Anita gave her a hard look and said, "You should read less Muggle novels, Louise, you're going crazy!"

Louise shrunk her neck, worried that Anita would beat her up if she continued speaking, so she shut up.

It's pretty easy on their side, but it's a bit difficult on Candice's side.

She has always been worried about the way Riddle looked at her before, and always felt that she was naked in front of him. She followed him and walked a few steps, then pointed to the robe shop not far away and said, "I'm going to buy some clothes. , you wait for me outside."

Riddle stopped in his tracks, he was already tall, no matter from his perfect face or figure, he looked like a handsome young man.

Candice secretly compared their heights. She has grown a lot this year, but she is still about a head lower than him, so angry...

"Buying clothes? Why?" Riddle's black eyes seemed to fall on her body, making Candice startled.

"Don't you dislike me wearing this? I'll just change it." Candice said in a blunt tone.

Riddle narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled after a while and said, "Who said I don't like you wearing this?"

Candice snorted and said, "You looked at me horribly when you were in line, as if I was committing a crime by wearing this."

Riddle pursed his lips slightly, looked at her beautiful face and said, "You are indeed attracting people to commit crimes by dressing up like this."

Candice froze for a moment, and blushed instantly after she understood what he said.

"They're beautiful." Riddle lowered his voice when he said this, as if he was afraid that others would hear his praise, and then changed his tone after speaking, "But from now on, don't wear them like this again."

Candice frowned, a little puzzled: "If it looks good, why can't you wear it like this anymore?"

Riddle grabbed her wrist, led her forward, smiled casually and said, "Because I don't want other men to see you dressed like this. You probably aren't used to wearing Muggle clothes, so I just This time, it will not be an example."

It's really domineering, and the sentence was pronounced without asking whether others would like it or not.Candice was grabbed by him and walked forward, a little passive. After walking a few steps, she was a little anxious to regain the initiative, so she held his hand instead and stopped.

"Wait." She raised her voice.

Riddle turned around, his black eyes cast a puzzled look at her, Candice pointed to the signboard beside her and said, "Do you still remember the box of candy you gave me that you burned?"

"..." Well, why did you bring up that matter? The corner of Riddle's mouth lightly sunburned, but he didn't answer directly.

Candice glanced at the Honeydukes sign and said, "Give me a box, I want that new product on the poster." She pointed to the window.

Riddle frowned and looked over. The poster in the window was enchanted, and there was a picture of Honeydukes' latest product on it. The candy on the picture kept peeling off the candy wrapper and melting, as if it was still exuding a pleasant sweet smell. It looks delicious from any angle.

Candice got closer to him, grabbed his hand and said, "Buy it for me! Don't burn it this time! I don't know why you like burning things so much. Last time it was sugar, and then it was someone else's letter." ..."

Worried that she would bring up the uncomfortable "past events" again, Riddle interrupted her with a cold face and said, "That's enough. Wait here, I'll be back soon."

Hearing what he said, Candice immediately beamed with joy. There are so many people in Honeydukes today. She had no intention of squeezing it by herself. He was willing to put down his body to help her buy candy, and she was completely satisfied, not at all because of his previous behavior. All kinds of little awkwardness got angry.

"Go back quickly!"

Candice waved to him excitedly, and Riddle looked at him tall and tall from the edge of the crowd for a while. The aura of keeping strangers from him played a very good role at this moment, but anyone wearing a Slytherin school robe People, unconsciously give way to him.

"..." It's really much more convenient than going shopping by herself.

Candice couldn't help showing a smile, and was about to follow up to have a look, but she seemed to hear someone mention her name.

Candice froze for a moment, then looked back, and saw Walburga Black and Miranda Greengrass walking together, the two were talking very seriously.

Candice moved closer to make sure she heard correctly—they were talking about her.

It wasn't so much about her as it was about her and Riddle.

Probably out of girls' curiosity?I saw these two girls getting close to Riddle several times before, and when Candice heard them talking about her and Riddle, she followed them subconsciously.

When she came back to her senses, she found that she had followed them to a place where there were few people. The two girls didn't seem to notice her, and they were still whispering something.

Candice patted her head in frustration, and turned to leave, but just heard a sentence that made her unable to move anymore.

"Poor Miranda, you're just looking for trouble." It was Walburga's voice, haughty and tinged with pity. "If you really like Tom, there are ways to be with him. Now The Bell with him, she was just a pawn he chose to take revenge on Dumbledore. The old bee's prejudice and unfairness towards Slytherin are not a day or two-now Bell is in Tom's pocket She will be abandoned by him at any time, and then we will be able to see Dumbledore's much-anticipated ugly face."

Greenglass stood on the side and said a little depressed: "But Walburga, we don't know when he will really abandon that Bell."

Walburga chuckled lightly and said, "You can help him, can't you? You can tell Bell the truth, maybe she will still be grateful to you? Anyway, Tom doesn't love her at all, he is just waiting for a future It's just a good time for her and Dumbledore to step on it."

Greenglass said softly: "How can that be? Last time you just asked him when he was going to make a break, and he was very upset. If I really ran to tell Bell everything, then He's going to be very angry..."

Walburga said with a half-smile: "Well, if you are really afraid that he will get angry, then just wait patiently, that day will not be too far away..." From the corner of the eye, Walburga caught a glimpse of a figure running away quickly, and Walburga The smile on the corner of Erbuga's mouth deepened, "I have a hunch, that day will come soon."

Honeydukes door.

Candice stood in the snow, shaking her fists.

When Riddle came out after shopping for candy, he saw her froze.

He walked over quickly, took off the scarf and helped her put it on without any explanation, and said with an unhappy face: "Do you still need me to teach you how to use the warming spell?" After he finished speaking impatiently, he still took the initiative to use the warming spell on her .

Candice stood there, although her body was already very warm, she was still shivering.

Her blue eyes were staring at him closely, and the eyeballs were bloodshot, as if she was trying to endure something.

Riddle finally noticed something was wrong with her, he stared slightly, and led her away from the crowded place.

He stopped in an empty corner, let go of her wrist and asked, "What's wrong with you."

Candice swept the candy box in his other hand, she reached out to him tremblingly, Riddle frowned, and handed the candy box to her with a gloomy expression.

Candice held the candy box in her arms, as if holding the last straw.

She tried her best to smile at him and said, "The candy you gave me this time won't be burned anymore, right?"

Riddle couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.

Candice seemed emotionally unstable, on the verge of a breakdown.

In the past, he didn't have the patience to deal with girls' sudden sensitivity, but today...

Seeing her standing shiveringly in the snow, her lonely appearance as if abandoned by the whole world, made him feel very uncomfortable.

Riddle had never felt distressed, so he had no idea he was feeling distressed.

He stared at Candice with a complicated expression for a long time before saying, "No more."

When Candice got this answer, she laughed out of relief, but the laughter seemed a little too sad.

Riddle couldn't stand it any longer.

He had never been so impatient.

He was a good hunter, and he should have stood behind the veil, patient enough to wait for the best moment.

But at this moment, he just stared at her very irritably and said, "What's wrong with you."

Candice sniffed and forced a smile: "I just... heard the conversation between Miss Black and Miss Greengrass. They said..." She forced herself to calm down a little, "They said...you are just for You are with me because of revenge on Professor Dumbledore." She bit her lower lip tightly and squeezed out a few heartbreaking phrases, "They said you don't like me at all, and you will even...abandon me at any time .You are just waiting for a good time...a good time to completely step on me and Professor Dumbledore." She laughed very hurt her self-esteem, "Is that so?"

Furious probably best described Riddle's mood at the moment.

But the anger wasn't directed at Candice.

He stared at Candice, who was almost desperate but still insisted on asking him, and he saw the last glimmer of hope in her eyes.

She needs his answer, so his answer must be——

"They're lying to you." Riddle said with a deadpan expression, "They did it on purpose, isn't that obvious? They deliberately lured you into listening to their conversation, and then told you what they said, so that you I thought I was that kind of person." He raised the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically, "Don't say it early, but I said it on Valentine's Day, the intention is too obvious, and the acting is too bad. If I really like them If you say that, if I am going to abandon you, do I need to wait until today?" He stretched out his hand, grabbed Candice's chin, stared into her blank eyes and said, "Your heart has long been mine, if I It's really just to achieve that goal, I should have completely abandoned you long ago, why wait until today?" He smiled coldly and said, "I even lined up at Honey Dukes for you? Such a stupid thing, I'm I will only do it for you, a woman, for the rest of my life."

Candice stared at him with wide eyes, Riddle let go of her chin after she finished speaking, turned her face away and said with dangerous eyes: "The accident that happened to you in the Astronomy Tower that year was just like Walburga Black Related. She instructed Naomi Goyle to trouble you, and the one who really wants to teach Dumbledore a lesson is not so much me, but her.” He quickly looked at Candice, staring into her eyes Said, "Do you believe me or them, choose yourself."

He directly threw the problem to Candice, but Candice didn't hesitate at all.

She sniffed, and said a little wronged: "Of course I believe you. I don't believe them, I believe you, Tom." She couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged him, buried her face in his arms and said, " I believe in you. I...I love you."

She loves him.

She said she loved him.

Riddle never expected that at this very moment, he could hear such a sincere and straightforward expression from her.

He stood there stiffly, slowly raised his cold hands, and wrapped them around the girl's trembling body.

"Do you love me?" she asked him choked up in his arms, breathing the thin air, "Can you tell me this now?"

Riddle slowly lowered his eyes. Candice in his black eyes was like a rose covered with insect eggs. Riddle stared at her for a long time before saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear— —

"I think I can tell you now." He said in a soft but clear tone, "Because if I don't say anything now, I won't say anything in the future. Then, in the future, I will definitely regret not saying anything at this moment." Didn't tell you."

Candice looked at him incredulously, and the young man with black hair and dark eyes said softly under her gaze: "I love you. I think I love you."

If the pain and entanglement surging in the chest at this moment is love;

If the chaos that is clamoring in the brain at this moment is love;

If the endless possessive desire for her in my heart is love;

If... If the obsession that wants to drag her to hell with her is love;

Well, he loves her.

He must love her.

"As for those who talk nonsense..." Riddle held Candice tightly in his arms, kissed her slightly cold hair, and said softly, "I will make them pay the price."
