[HP Fudai] Knot of Life and Death

Three hours later, Tom Riddle sat in the Slytherin common room, looking helplessly at the crying "palm girl" sitting on the book.

That was the name he had given that little exotic ghost.

Said to be a ghost, in fact, she is not the same as those transparent ghosts of the last century flying around in the hall, she is like a real person—only much smaller, reminiscent of Thumbelina in fairy tales, and It's bigger than that.

This exotic ghost is dressed in beautiful oriental silk, covered with a layer of dark pattern white gauze.His face was pale, as white as snow, but a little red came out from inside.Wearing an oriental bun and wearing oriental ornaments, it turns out that an oriental girl looks like this.

Tom Riddle recalled the Orientals he had come into contact with. Among the students in the third grade, there were also some Chinese and Japanese. Most of them were British Chinese and Japanese descendants, and there was no difference from the British.The rare students who are really from China are often taciturn, thin and delicate, holding a lot of books with complicated words, and do not communicate too much with British children. ——It was 1940, and China was not peaceful at that time.Chinese seniors often look solemn after finishing their studies. No one knows where they went, whether they returned to China to meet the troubled times, or stayed in the UK.

Tom Riddle was not interested in the situation in the Muggle world, but he still heard about the divisions and wars that were breaking out in that ancient country.But the girl in front of him was obviously not from the same era as him.If the girl is not Japanese, she must be an ancient Chinese.

The regret of the failure of the magic still lingers in Tom Riddle's heart. After fleeing back to the empty common room, he opened the book, but found that it was not his "A List of Warcraft in the Eighteenth Century". There is a very different inner core hidden under the cover of the European ancient book, which is full of those complicated exotic square characters.Those oriental Chinese characters.

The book was changed!Annoyance burst from Tom Riddle's heart.

So he slammed the book on the table, and slammed out the little crying ghost.

Then the pretty, mysterious girl looked around and said something in a babble that Tom couldn't understand, and before Tom could answer, the girl burst into tears.

If it weren't for her crying so pitifully, Tom might have found a way to get rid of her.

But in fact, when the girl cried out, Tom froze.

Handsome and good-looking 14-year-old Tom Riddle has a lot of hated and hated enemies, as well as a lot of supporters who think they are Tom's friends.But in truth, Tom Riddle never had friends.

None, let alone such a beautiful girl.

So when the girl cried, he should have been at a loss for this.Tom Riddle has even forgotten what it feels like to be at a loss—probably, he wanted to wipe the girl's tears with something, but he couldn't find it, and he wanted to pass his finger on it, but he was afraid that it would be damaged The girl couldn't even say any words of comfort—he was full of resentment because of the magic failure, but it disappeared after seeing the tears.

The reserve demon king who has almost subverted the entire magic world in the future is facing a serious life crisis at this moment.

It was a complex emotion between "Should I interrupt her crying?" and "She won't cry until tomorrow morning." "Actually, she looks pretty when she cries."

But in the end Tom Riddle said nothing and did nothing.In the gloomy Slytherin lounge, the fire in the fireplace was burning brightly, with exquisite patterns hanging around.

The 14-year-old boy was sitting on the huge sofa, watching the girl who didn't belong to this world sitting in the monster book and weeping quietly.

She is like a plain little white flower, pear blossom, or some other flower, soaked by the rain.I don't know why the boy suddenly remembered such a scene.

Tom Riddle felt a little regretful that there was no moonlight in the Slytherin lounge. The moonlight must be beautiful.

When the girl's crying finally stopped, Tom Riddle sat up and cast a telepathy charm on her.

"who are you?"

"How can Miss's boudoir name be known to men casually." The girl wiped her tears and frowned.

"Okay, ma'am...then I'll pick one for you," said Tom.

"How is this possible?"

So Tom Riddle also frowned, "So what do you mean?"

"My name is Lin Daiyu, from Gusu. My father..."

In fact, Tom couldn't understand the word father's taboo. Although the spell of mutual understanding allowed him to communicate with this foreign girl, he really didn't know anything about Chinese culture. He could only guess that it was the girl's. The family and her father's title.

According to British etiquette, Tom Riddle had to say his name next.

His full name is: Tom Marvolo Riddle

It was given to him by his mother. During the two years at Hogwarts, he searched around to find out about his life experience, and finally found some clues, but the sources of the information were unknown and varied.

What Tom Riddle knows most now is that this name is actually his father's name.His father left his mother for some reason, so his mother gave him this name in memory of his father.

But Tom Riddle is actually too unfamiliar with the image of a mother. He has heard the descriptions of his classmates, and combined some of their parents for the pair of parents he has never met.

Maybe my father is a wizard, maybe my parents are both, my father is a person who looks very similar to me, what is his occupation in the Muggle world, bookstore owner?Or a reptile breeder?My mother must have the same curly hair and blue eyes as myself.Maybe they had to abandon him for some unavoidable reason, or even just accidentally lost him-by such a coincidence, at the gate of the orphanage.

Daiyu raised her eyes and looked at the dazed foreign boy in front of her. His expression moved, as if he was engaged in some great struggle in his heart, and then hoarse, he just said, "My name is Tom Riddle, Slytherin Third graders."

Daiyu raised her sleeve to cover her nose, and asked, "Young Master Tang, what is this place?"

Tom Riddle was amused by the nervous look of the Chinese girl, so he shook his head and said, "Hogwarts, you can understand it as a school. This is the school lounge of this school, because there is a curfew , so there is no one left."

"Is this a school? But why don't you go home after dark?"

"I have no home." Tom Riddle answered her simply. "In the west, everyone lives in colleges. They only go home during the summer vacation."

"Do you all live in a room by yourself?"

"No..." Tom Riddle smiled wryly, "It's just me. They all slept together, but I happened to be alone."

Then he suddenly started laughing at himself in his heart. He actually explained seriously to a summoned ghost in a book. It stands to reason that he should find a way to get rid of it first, but it's not it, it's her, so Tom Riddle has already begun to have a premonition that his life will be a little different because of the palm girl in the storybook.

"I was enjoying the flowers in the mansion just now. I suddenly felt dizzy for some reason. I woke up here." Daiyu said in a soft voice. She was only twelve or thirteen years old at this time, older than Tom Riddle. Even smaller. "I thought it was a dream, but the dream was really long. I think I encountered some strange ghosts."

"It's not a ghost thing, it's magic."

"Magic? Why learn magic if you don't learn good fairy arts?" Daiyu frowned. "When I was young, I heard from my parents that some charlatans also learned some crooked ways, but in the end they got mad and didn't end well."

"No, no, Dai, it's not that kind of magic. In the place where you stay, there is magic of monsters and magic of gods, but in our place, they are all called magic. The evil one is called black magic."

"Then do you practice magic or black magic?" Daiyu tilted her head and folded her sleeves.

So Tom smiled at her, "What do you think?"

"You don't look like a bad person." Daiyu shook her head.

"But how should I go back?" Daiyu asked him again. "If my grandmother finds out that I'm gone tomorrow, she will have to look for her."

"I don't know either, but theoretically, your presence here won't affect anything in your world."

"Why is that?"

"It's hard to explain... because you are just a soul that came out of the book. You exist, but you don't exist here, so you are still you in the book, but now you are another person." Tom cautiously The word Warcraft was replaced by human.

"I'm a little confused. How can I become a person in the book again?"

"Your eyes are red from crying, you should wipe them off." Tom Riddle thought for a while, took off his green tie, and handed it to Daiyu. "Maybe you should get some sleep, I'll make you a cot—make one out."

Daiyu shook her head again. "I have no body, but a mere soul, I can go back to that book to rest."

So Tom Riddle nodded, watching the beautiful palm girl look back at him, and walked back to the book.

Tom Riddle closed the potions book, and the flames burning in the fireplace were burning fiercely, and sparks burst out from it.
