[hp] warm as jade

Late night, Little Hangleton.

A small hill lies there quietly, like a monster that chooses to eat people.On the small hill, there stood a dilapidated old house, and creepers crawled all over the house, like a small world of its own, but it was forgotten, and it was full of decay and desolation.

There was a slight "pop" in the air suddenly, but at such a quiet moment, it was no less thrilling than a thunderclap on the ground.Then, two figures suddenly appeared on the path, one tall and one short, wearing black hooded robes, close to each other.The moment they appeared, continuous flames lit up without warning, burning from the foot of the mountain to the door of the old house.

Many figures appeared in the night, wearing robes similar to those of the two, and wearing silver masks.They surrounded the two who suddenly appeared, and raised their wands in silence.

"I want to see the Dark Lord." The tall one spoke, with a hoarse voice, while rolling up his sleeves, revealing a skull with a snake spit out on his arm.

No one spoke, and the surrounding area was still silent.

The tall one was not impatient, put down his sleeves, and stood calmly in place.The one beside him was a little uneasy, holding his sleeve tightly, looking down at the toes of his shoes, rubbing them against each other.

After a while, the door of the house opened with a "squeak".A short man came out tremblingly: "Lord, master let them in!"

As soon as the words fell, those men in black hoods disappeared into the darkness again, as if everything was an illusion just now.

The tall one lifted his feet and walked away, while the short one held his hem, one step behind him, and the two walked forward along the firelight along the way, and with their footsteps, those lights gradually extinguished.

There was another "squeak", and the world returned to silence and darkness again.

After entering the room, he took off the hood, revealing the faces of the two of them—if not Rong Jiu and Snape, who else?

"Master asked her to wait here." Wormtail said, the little courage that was born after receiving Snape's eye knife disappeared without a trace, and he took a step back tremblingly, "Master, Master It is said... the master let you go in alone."

Snape turned around, put his hand on Rong Jiu's shoulder, and said softly, "Wait here."

"En." Rong Jiu nodded obediently, but her eyes involuntarily glanced towards Pettigrew, obviously curious.

Snape frowned, and gave her a warning look, but he didn't dare to delay too long, and walked upstairs.Rong Jiu's eyes followed him all the time, watching him enter a room with dancing lights, and then was blocked from sight by a wooden door.

Although I could vaguely hear some voices, I don’t know if it’s because the sound insulation is too good or the distance is too far, I can’t hear it clearly. After less than 1 minute, Rong Jiu quickly became bored and began to look around, trying to find some fun for herself .

On the stairs not far in front of her, Wormtail was sitting there, holding his hand, thinking of something.That hand looked very strange, exuding a faint silver light.Rong Jiu rubbed her eyes, she was sure it wasn't her hallucination, so she couldn't help asking: "That...excuse me, why do you glow?"

Wormtail was concentrating on thinking about the question, but was startled by these words, and jumped up from the stairs, seeing that it was Rong Jiu who was talking, he let out a sigh of relief, and answered in a sharp voice: "This is... Master's gift."

"Can I touch it?" Rong Jiu subconsciously said this, and seeing Wormtail's surprised expression, she realized that she was a little presumptuous: "Uh, I'm sorry, I was rude."

Wormtail's face trembled nervously, his facial features twisted for a while, and he actually put together a smile: "No, no, no...Of course, beautiful lady, as long as you don't mind..."

Of course this nervous girl didn't mind, she really stretched out her hand to touch the glowing hand.It looks like it has a metallic texture, but it doesn't feel like that at all to the touch. It's a bit like cold satin, silky but fake.Not at all what a human hand would feel.

The moment she let go of her fingers, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly came from upstairs.Both of them raised their heads and looked towards the room where the sound came from—it was the room that Snape just entered.

This time, the voice came out a little clearer, and Snape's voice could be heard, but the content was still unclear.But even so, the pain contained in that voice is clear.

"Don't worry." Wormtail noticed the obvious worry on Rong Jiu's face, and comforted with a trembling voice, "Master...Master is just a little excited. He won't do anything."

Rong Jiu let go of her tightly clenched hands and said with a smile, "Well, thank you."

Wormtail looked at Rong Jiu, and froze there until there was another muffled sound upstairs, and he jumped up as if someone had stepped on his tail, looked left and right, and finally retracted his body tremblingly. On the stairs, I tried to shrink myself into the corner.It was obviously a spacious staircase that could accommodate six or seven people sitting together, but the feeling of him sitting out of the mouse hole abruptly seemed very desolate and pitiful.

But Rong Jiu has no time to take care of him anymore, staring at the upstairs tightly, the hand he just let go clenched into a fist again, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and his teeth collided up and down nervously, if it wasn't for such a serious atmosphere , looks like a hamster.Her fingers couldn't help tapping the sofa, making a slight muffled sound.With her movements, the air in the entire hall became viscous, as if it could suffocate people in the next second.

The sound from upstairs had died away.But Rong Jiu knew that the room must not be silent, but for some reason, they lowered their voices.

For the first time, Rong Jiu had some vague awe of the legendary Dark Lord.

After a while, it was so long that Wormtail stretched out his body again, and continued to hold his hands in a daze. At this moment, the upstairs door opened silently.

"Wormtail, bring that little girl here."

That voice is so strange, it seems to have some "hissing" sound, reminiscent of the appearance of a snake crawling in the dark, and the snake is not crawling past your eyes, but crawling on your heart.

Wormtail's already watery eyes looked even more watery now, he glanced at Rong Jiu in horror, stood up tremblingly, smiled at her nervously, and took the first step.Rong Jiu silently followed behind him, thinking of his expression just now, the words "pear blossoms with rain, I feel pity" popped up in his heart inappropriately.

Well, except for the unqualified appearance, it is completely in line.

"Go in." Wormtail stopped.In front of him, the firelight projected from which room was jumping, and the reflected figure seemed a little distorted.

Rong Jiu took a deep breath and walked in.

Facing the door is the fireplace, and an ancient chair is placed in front of the fireplace, with a little black robe protruding from it.Snape stood beside the chair, his face was pale, his black hair was stuck to his cheeks with sweat, he was obviously much more embarrassed and weak than before.A big snake was lazily curled up in front of the chair. At this moment, he raised his head and looked at Rong Jiu with interest—yes, Rong Jiu felt such emotions from this snake, as if he was facing a person.

"Nagini, don't scare our little girl," said the hissing voice.

The room suddenly darkened, and the person sitting on the chair stood up, blocking part of the light source.

Rong Jiu's nails dug deeply into the palm of his hand, and his eyes widened.If not, she might have lost her composure on the spot, screamed, and fled this terrible place without looking back.

The person in front of him turned around slowly, revealing his pale face, which was as white as death, and the pair of big red eyes on his face were even more enchanting.The nose is flat and the nostrils are two slits.His lips were as white as his skin.It looks like a patchwork face, with a seemingly enthusiastic smile, but it makes people feel cold to the bottom of their hearts.

"Casiopeia Malfoy?"
