[HP Fudai] Knot of Life and Death

At first Tom Riddle thought that Hogwarts would soon face a big turmoil, but to his surprise, he waited quietly for a week, but nothing happened.

It appears that the man was unsuccessful in finding the spell to open the chamber.

After realizing this, Tom was very relieved, so that at least he still had time to think about countermeasures or Andy Day—who knows if the damn basilisk will not spare even the soul.

At the same time, he exhausted all his strength and began to look up the name "Meropgunter". However, there was very little information on this name, and the only time it appeared was in a book that recorded the development of black magic. History of Magic, the book that cites the Gaunt family tree, Tom borrowed the book.

All written records show that this is a prominent and ancient magical family, the only known descendant of Slytherin's family that is still handed down. However, the prominence of this family has long since disappeared. A series of sequelae such as "crazy" and "irritability" brought about by inbreeding to ensure the purity of the bloodline, the Gunter family gradually weakened and became poor. In the last generation of recorded heirs, Mavolo Gunter, only one son and one were left. daughter.

The daughter's name was Meropgunt, and the son, Morfingunt.

"Marvolo" Tom Riddle said the name, which was also his middle name.

Marvologunt was his maternal grandfather, Slytherin was his ancestor, and he was a half-blood wizard.

Suddenly, Tom Riddle stopped turning the pages of the book.

Only the descendants of Slytherin can open the secret room, and the descendants of Slytherin are only the Gaunt family.

That man's ugly and ferocious face appeared in front of Tom, and at the same time, there also appeared the group of snakes always around him, and the bloody broken snake in his hand.

Tom Riddle knew the man's name.

"Morfin Gaunt."

Merope's brother, his uncle, and the last pureblood of Slytherin, Morfin Gaunt.

Perhaps also his last relative in the world.

Tom Riddle felt a chill and goosebumps all over his body.From the first time he met this ugly man, he only brought him evil black magic and the most naked use, and a murder planned.

Moffington knew his half-blood status and still let himself look for the Chamber of Secrets, and Tom Riddle was at the top of the murder list for this vile pureblood.

He suddenly remembered the sweater he made out of the carpet—the truth was dirtier than the carpet, the carpet was just stepped on, and his so-called family life was worse than the dead wood that had been rotting in the swamp for decades. People feel sick.And he couldn't even tear the disgusting feeling off his body like tearing off a sweater.

Just because he's a half-breed, with half Muggle blood in his body.

So he can be used and murdered by his own uncle as it should be.

"Del... what are you doing?"

Tom Riddle dropped the History of Magic, and Dai walked in through the door.

"Where have you been?" he asked. Dai is often not in the living room these days. She used to like sitting at the table and flipping through the Chinese books that Riddle got for her.

"Guess?" Dai smiled, with her hands behind her back, as if there was something mysterious that she didn't want him to see.

"What are you holding in your hand?"

"I won't tell you." Dai had a smug smile on her face, as if she was teasing some child.

Riddle shook his head helplessly, "Accio!" He shook out his wand from his sleeve, waved lightly, and the object in Dai's hand flew towards him immediately, and then he reached out to catch it, it was like a book thing.

"Are you going to tell me now or let me read it myself?" He blinked, raised the book in his hand, and threatened the girl in front of him with a brisk tone.

The girl got angry, threw her handkerchief on him, turned her head and sat on the chair, and stopped talking to him.

"Okay, I was wrong, Dai, take it back." Tom Riddle hastily handed the book in his hand to Daiyu, but Daiyu didn't pick it up, and didn't move, just glanced at him sideways with her peachy eyes—— "Hmph, that's all, anyway, it's for you, so you can take it."

So Riddle unfolded the leather-bound book—it was blank.

It turned out to be a nice diary, but it looked old, and on the back cover was a note with his name printed on it: Tom Marvolo Riddle.

"Where did you get it?" Riddle raised his eyebrows. He had to say that he was a little surprised. He didn't remember Dai's chance to buy a diary.

"I exchanged it with the old gentleman in the fifth picture frame on the second floor of the lounge."

"The fifth one on the second floor? It seems to be... oh, that old pedant, he is a guy who likes to read."

"He asked me to recite Li Du's poems for him. After reciting for a week, he gave me this."

"He took it out of the frame? How is that possible?"

"No, he said it was a diary he hadn't used. It was bought and then accidentally abandoned in the library. He didn't remember it until he died a long time ago. If I recited poems for him, he would take that diary Tell me where Ben was dropped."

"He can see you?... Oh, my God, I forgot, the magic I cast on you is for humans, I forgot to draw, it seems that I have to improve the magic." Tom Riddle lowered his head, "He I won't tell anyone..."

"Dell," Daiyu interrupted the boy, "tell me, do you like it?"

Tom Riddle looked at the eyes of the girl in front of him, with expectant, shining eyes, so he nodded seriously.

"I love so much."

This is the first gift Tom Riddle received in his life.He is almost 15 years old, and he just received the first gift in his life-this is, she gave it to him, and it took a week to recite those poems with the old pedant in the picture frame, in exchange for this diary Book.Of course he liked it very, very much.

So much so that he was a little lost and incoherent, who cares how this diary got here?He didn't really care about this, he just wanted to change the subject subconsciously, he was a little too flustered.

Dai turned around and leaned her hand on the table, resting her chin, "I wanted to write your name myself, but who knew you were snatched by yourself first. Tell me, are you self-defeating?" She deliberately He put on a reproachful tone, but as before, the nice voice like a yellow warbler made people not notice any negative emotions like anger, it just made people feel very close.

"Yes. I was self-defeating." Tom Riddle really regretted the flying curse. He should let Dai write the gift with his own hands and hand it to him, instead of rashly giving the first gift in his life directly to himself. Got it.

"You can spell my name."

"It's just random memorization like a Taoist talisman." Daiyu blushed.

In fact, she had already remembered the name. She participated in almost all of Tom Riddle's classroom classes except Defense Against the Dark Arts. She was bored in the book, so she sat in the textbook and memorized the name. Watching Tom propping up his beautiful chin and holding a quill to write and draw, or frowning and throwing some weird things into the cauldron, Tom will also show disgust like other students when he transforms into a toad in the transformation class , but Dai knew that he was actually not as afraid as other students, but just wanted to be like everyone else on purpose. When he was making potions by himself, he could put many lizards in them without changing his face.

Tom Riddle is a double-faced person, one appearance in front of outsiders, and another appearance when he is alone with her.

But Daiyu can understand Riddle, and she even feels that sometimes she has done the same thing as Tom Riddle.

The teenager seemed to have a lot of secrets, but he felt safe—he would protect her.

"Can you write?" Tom Riddle asked him again, trying to teach the girl how to write his name.

Daiyu nodded.

So Riddle said a spell and handed her his wand.

"Write it on the title page, use this."

Lin Daiyu picked up the magic wand, like holding a brush, Shi Ran wrote a neat line of small characters on the title page,

Lin Daiyu, gift, Liddell.

Riddle raised his eyebrows, "Chinese?"

Daiyu smiled at him, "You don't understand?"

Riddle took the wand in her hand and pointed to the first three characters, "I can recognize these three characters, this is your name."

"What about the back?"

Riddle pondered, "I think it's a blessing or my name."

"What a smart man." Lin Daiyu exclaimed, "If you were born in Jinling, they would definitely force you to take the exam."

"Dai, do you want to go back?" Tom Riddle asked suddenly, "Do you want to go back to Jinling?"

Daiyu was stunned, "Can you take me back?"

Tom Riddle shook his head.

He couldn't bear to tell Daiyu that the moment her soul was called out, the soul had left the book, and the stories in the book were just stories, and she could never go back.

"I want to go back to Jinling even in my dreams," Daiyu said.Tom Riddle's heart sank, still waiting for her next words, but Daiyu stopped talking.

A brief silence lay between the two.

"But it's also very good here." Daiyu said suddenly.

Riddle looked up at her, but the girl looked at the sachet around her waist, which was filled with the hibiscus petals that Riddle made for her, and she shaded them into dried flowers and hung them on her waist .

"There are flowers here in all seasons, and there are not so many rules..." It seemed that her supplement was too deliberate and pale, and Daiyu's pale face was already a little red. It's good to drive down."

"I will raise the sail." Riddle softened his heart and said softly, he knew that Daiyu still didn't understand the meaning of it.

Daiyu is the soul summoned in the book. Although she was only thirteen or fourteen years old when she came out, and nothing happened after that in the book, her lifespan in the book only stays at 17 years old, which is doomed.

If there is no special witchcraft to keep this little soul, she can only live to that age, and die on the day when she burns the manuscript and tears, at her best age.

She was the only person Riddle was close to, the first, the only one.Yet he had been told all the endings in a book weeks after meeting her.He even wished that he had never met her, and hadn't pulled her from that old oriental story to this chaotic and dirty reality.

He was already prepared, he found the secret room in a plan of his own, but he managed to hide it from that man and everyone in Hogwarts, he didn't want to hand over the location of the secret room so early, he secretly Summoning the monster, preparing to leave a way out for himself, but Dai disrupted all these plans.

Dai appeared unexpectedly, intersected with him unexpectedly, and then unexpectedly became his Achilles heel.

Day was naive, though she always seemed to have a lot on her mind—those little girls' minds that Tom Riddle could read right away.Some simple, clean thoughts, unlike him, the young heart has been soaked in sex for a long time, it seems that he is destined to become a conspirator struggling in the chaos.

Dai may be the redemption that Merlin sent him, or it may be the silk thread hanging over hell to prevent him from falling.But the thread snapped too easily, and Riddle couldn't watch that happen.

Because the girl in front of him was looking at him unsuspectingly holding up the gift she gave him. He knew what was on her mind, but she didn't.In the sound of the surrounding waves lapping on the Slytherin dormitory, Riddle felt that the walls were about to crumble, that the waters of the Black Lake were about to flood in, and that the nixie and the merfolk were about to drag his girl away.

Dumbledore once said to him that he was the best student in Slytherin and Hogwarts, and he was the best wizard.Because of this, he couldn't let his girl die.

Not at 17, not at 70, never at all.

The Grim Reaper is nothing more than a god in a black robe holding a scythe, and for his girl, he wants to defeat him.

Riddle took the diary, seriously scratched his name on it with magic, and wrote a crooked, Chinese character Dai.

Words written by magic can be preserved forever, and can disappear and reappear under a special spell. He cast this spell on it because he will use this diary for the rest of his life.

At least at this moment, he firmly believes so.

Meanwhile, in the darkness of the Forbidden Forest, Mofingund sat alone on his dead stake, with his back to the way he had come.His messy hair blocked the back of his head like a wall.

Some fireflies were flying around him, caught in the coiled snake's letter, and in the twilight of the last firefly, Moffin Gunter wriggled his mouth and said, "Merope, why, that door Can't open it."

His voice was hoarse than ever.

These days, he had used a thousand lockpicking spells on that bathroom, searched every corner, and still couldn't find a way to open the door.

"Merope! Tell me! Merope, tell me! Merope Gunter! You tell me!" Mofin Gunter suddenly began to roar wildly, and that roar startled a clump of nearby nocturnal birds, and they panicked. Fly away, leaving only the sound of flapping wings.Mofingund was trembling, his veins bulging.

"Speak up! Merope! You bloody Squib, you traitor in love with Muggles, I'm going to kill your son sooner or later! Kill that bastard, and I'll kill him so you can keep silent oh, you fucking bastard. Speak!"

He slapped the back of his head fiercely——

"That damned bastard, Tom Riddle, he's trying to trick me, he must have given me the wrong address...but he's sworn on the spell, for that girl, he gave me real access, I Knowing it's true... maybe I need another spell, maybe I'm using an older one... it must be. Merope, what do you think, my favorite Merope."

Moffington waved his hands frantically, and suddenly stopped to caress the back of his head. The messy hair there was already very wet at some point, even dripping water.

So he tore those messy hairs roughly like pulling straws—after those wigs were lifted, a face the size of a baby was connected there, connected to the back of his head, as if growing from there However, the strange thing is that the facial features on that small face seem to come from an adult woman.

The woman's eyes are exposed.The eyeballs of the eyes had no pupils, and were as black as a pure black glass ball. Her eyelashes were sparse, and she looked lifeless, although tears were constantly flowing from the eyes.

Under the woman's flat nose was a shriveled mouth, and out of that mouth spoke words indistinctly, very softly, very minutely, but Mofingund knew what she was talking about, she was saying:

"Kill...Tom Riddle...Kill...Tom Riddle...Kill Tom Riddle..."

"Oh, Merope, you've been talking about it for four years, and I know, of course I know. I'll kill him, I'll kill Tom Riddle, after I open that Chamber of Secrets."

"Kill...Tom Riddle...Kill...Tom Riddle..." The woman was weeping expressionlessly, but she kept repeating these words in her mouth, as if the words were a spell.

"We have to find you a body first, can't we, Merope, you can't live in my body forever, I'm tired of eating poisonous snakes, I have to find you a body." said, "My dear sister, you are the last female descendant of Slytherin, and you must live..."

Morfin Gunter opened the jewelry box around his neck, and a small ring rolled out and fell into his palm—it was a family heirloom of the Gunter family—and there was a golden ring in the black jade inlaid on it. The gold emblem of the , a triangle with a circle in the middle and a vertical line in the middle of the circle.

If this pattern appeared elsewhere, many people would think it was a symbol of the dark wizard Grindelwald, but the Gunters would scoff at it.Because they know that the pattern on the ring has been passed down for at least 1000 years.

That's not Grindelwald's badge, that's Peverell's coat of arms.

That's... the symbol of the Deathly Hallows.

17 years ago, Morfin Gunt and Marvolo Gangt were summoned by the Ministry of Magic for interrogation because they used curses on innocent Muggles and resisted arrest. He was sentenced to three years in prison, while Ma Volo Gangt's sentence was three months.

But when Morfingunt returned home after finishing his three-year sentence in Azkaban, all he saw was the rotten and broken bones of his father Mavologangt... There was no trace of blood on those red and white bones. Flesh and blood, only the tooth marks left by countless fangs, and the cowardly sister Meropogunt has long since disappeared, and the snakes have disappeared.

Mofingunt looked at the dilapidated house full of dust. There was nothing to eat in this house. Maybe Mavologangt died of starvation, and then the fresh flesh attracted poisonous snakes, or he was alive He was bitten to death by hungry snakes, and he never remembered to feed them, and snakes are not docile creatures.

Morfin Gaunt found the ring by the dry bones, and he put it on, becoming the last of the Gaunt family.

He found the letter by the trash can, and he even had to cast a Restoration Charm on the shredded paper.It shows that one week after he and his father and son were imprisoned one after another, Merope left the empty old Gaunt house and eloped with Tom Riddle. The tone of Merope in the letter With apology and joy of being free, the inscription of the date even slightly increased. They lost the Cinderella who cowered and hid in the corner cooking and washing clothes, the Squib who couldn't speak a few words with a stick, and the one who hated her The aristocratic young master eloped to the extreme.

That man named Tom Riddle, that Muggle.

After seeing the letter, Mavologangt, who came back from serving his sentence, almost destroyed it so that it could not be seen. His anger can be imagined.And shortly thereafter he starved to death in this old house.Three years later, he only left his son with a broken body and this ring.

A ring with a resurrection stone.

Morfin Gunt used this ring to recall Merope's soul. He thought he could easily achieve his goal, but it was counterproductive. Merope summoned by the Resurrection Stone lost all memory and consciousness, and was more real than the soul. , but falser than the living.Apart from saying "Kill Tom Riddle", she would just look at Moffington indifferently, as if she were looking at a rock.Or she herself is like a living stone.

Moffington had been trying to lure her into revealing the whereabouts of the locket left by Slytherin, which had been hanging around Merope's neck...but had disappeared.

He needs that, and therefore a conscious Merope, and the only way to do that is to give Merope a new body, but Moffington can no longer cast the Unforgivable Curse on Muggles, so he'll be enchanted again Department of eyeing.He had to transplant Merope into his body.

Before he found the bastard Merope gave birth to, he spent a whole ten years waiting for the Ministry of Magic to release him from surveillance. Like every ordinary wizard, he lived an idle and lonely life, almost waiting for magic As soon as the spells that recorded his whereabouts were released, he couldn't wait to come to Hogwarts.

That child, had the same name as his Muggle father, Tom Riddle.

That name is the beginning of everything, and it will also be the end of everything.

Moffington recalled old Tom Riddle's handsome face... and felt that it almost made him sick. It was such a person who possessed his sister, and the growing Tom Riddle grew more and more. Similar to him, Yuejiao Morfin wants to make him disappear from this world completely.

Tom Riddle is still alive because of the vow he made in the orphanage fourteen years ago, but Morfin no longer pays him any attention.

He cared more about the one in front of him—the little hybrid had more to offer him.

Whether it's family honor, or great revenge - all have to wait for him to open the door of the secret room.

Those disgusting Ministry scum, those filthy half-breeds, those lowly Muggles will fall on their knees and cry as the door opens, begging for mercy, and Moffington will not forgive them.

He would nail the dead snake to the top of the tallest tower at Hogwarts, along with the honor of the ancient Gaunts.

Moffington raised the ring in his hand and recited the spell. Merope in the back of his head howled in pain. At this moment, the facial features suddenly gathered together, twisted, and wrinkled together. Under the guidance of the magic wand, a soul like a black thread clump was pulled out from the back of his head alive. The spell continued, and the woman howled In the midst of the screams, there was still a vague voice: "Kill...Tom Riddle!..." The voices kept overlapping, as if thousands of people were screaming at the same time, and suddenly, the voice stopped.

Merope had left Morfingunt's head, becoming a small, floating blob of blue light.Morfin Gunter uttered a Transfiguration Charm... and the ball of light became a transparent, crystal-like needle.

"Merope," Moffin Gunter held the needle with a comforting smile on his face. He knew that the woman couldn't see it, so he seemed to be talking to the air, "When the secret room is opened, kill That person for Tom Riddle could only be you... Depends on how long it takes us to find the key... If I'm right, I think the key belonged only to the descendants of Slytherin from beginning to end."

As he spoke, he turned around and took out a letter that had already been written.He took out the needle again, and said to the little snake beside him in snake language, "Tell Tom Riddle that I will not appear in Hogwarts again until I find the key to the chamber of secrets. But if he wants him The little girl is alive, it is best to do what the letter says."

Then, with a wave of his hand, he cast a spell, and the little snake burrowed into the envelope under his spell.

The author has something to say:

I'm really sorry. I moved recently, looking for a house, and finally found it. The computer broke down again. In order to express my apology, I will update three chapters in a row.
