Tom turned his head in surprise when Edney asked his name out of her mouth.

No one, child or adult, wanted to approach him, or rather, no one dared to approach him, when he had dropped his gentle Hogwarts pretense.

In the eyes of others, he is a devil, an existence that makes people miserable, but this person is asking his name without hesitation?

Even though she might well be a wizard, Tom didn't want to tell her his name.

——He hated the common name that was everywhere in the street like his father.

However, after Edney White reported her name first with sincerity, Tom unexpectedly spoke up.He was, of course, referring to his middle name, Marvolo.

"Marvolo..." Edney repeated the name several times in a low voice, feeling a little disappointed in her heart.

Looking at this young lady, she always felt that he was very similar to Voldemort, but she knew that Voldemort's real name was Tom Riddle.

The air-raid shelter fell into silence again, forming a sharp contrast with the din of the war outside.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that the gurgling sound from Edney's stomach broke the silence in the air-raid shelter...

A few boys squatting there with their arms folded on the opposite side glanced at her silently, then turned their heads away.Edney turned her head and glanced at Tom, who was leaning against the corner with his eyes closed, but his still fluttering eyelids and the same breathing rate as usual proved that he was not asleep.

Edney cleared her throat deliberately: "Uh...are you hungry? How about I go out and get something to eat?"

The boys opposite looked at her timidly, then at Tom, without daring to nod or shake their heads.

Just when Edney was about to stand up and go out from the air-raid shelter, Tom suddenly opened his eyes: "If you go out now, you will probably die, and you will kill us."

"..." Aideni sat back on the spot in grievance, leaning against the wall, covering her stomach with both hands, "But I'm so hungry..."

As soon as the words fell, her stomach groaned again very cooperatively.

Tom was silent for a few seconds, then glanced at the other boys: "Hey, do you have any food?"

The boys kept shaking their heads.

"If you want to survive, you have to be hungry. At least we can't go out until the German army withdraws from this area tomorrow." Tom paused, and then said, "You can't die if you starve overnight."

This kid really can't speak...

Edney curled her lips, hugged her knees, and buried her head.

After a while, it began to rain outside.Even though it was summer, the sudden drop in temperature made her feel a little cold.

Edney looked around, and she saw a pile of dead branches in the corner on the other side of the air-raid shelter. It seemed that someone had collected them and put them here.Humming and whimpering, she brought in a bunch of sticks, but was soon stumped by another problem.

She couldn't get her wand out and work magic in front of so many Muggle boys, so how was she going to start a fire...?

After hesitating for a while, she tried to pick up a thinner branch and drill a thick log to make fire, but after working for a long time, she couldn't see any sparks, and she didn't even see the white smoke.She doesn't know anything about survival in the wild, let alone doing it herself... If I knew it, I would have watched a few episodes of Survival in the Wild with Hermione.

Edney folded her arms in distress and sat back to the distance, constantly rubbing her arms, hoping to generate a little heat through this rubbing action.

Tom next to her gave a "tsk" and silently despised her with a look of "you are useless". Then, under her surprised eyes, he picked up a hard stone in the corner and picked it up from his pocket. Li took out a small knife and skillfully struck fire on the branch.

Edney looked at the burning bonfire and let out a sigh.

After being surprised, she murmured in a low voice: "...if there is chicken or fish, they can be grilled and eaten."

As expected, she once again received a knife in the eye from Tom.

Gradually, she began to feel a little sleepy, and she reckoned it was time to go to bed.

But Tom didn't seem to be sleepy at all, and he hasn't closed his eyes since he just lit the fire.He didn't close his eyes, and the boys sitting across from him didn't dare to take water, even though they looked extremely sleepy.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Edney looked at Tom.

Tom looked like he didn't want to speak at all, but he still answered her question: "It is very likely that the enemy army will come to this area to investigate again, so we have to stay vigilant all night today."

"But they all look sleepy," Edney pointed out. "Your eyes are also bloodshot. How many days have you not slept?"

This time, Tom didn't speak.

"If you continue like this, your body won't be able to hold it at all." Edney said seriously, "Why don't you go to sleep for a while, and I'll watch here first. I'll call one of you when I feel sleepy Get up, and we'll take turns keeping watch so everyone can get a little rest."

Tom was silent for a while, then finally gave in and nodded reluctantly.

Edney smiled: "Then let me tell you a bedtime story."

Tom: "...no."

However, Tom's refusal was useless, Edney still started talking nonsense with a very low volume, attracting the attention of the boys opposite.

Although Tom turned sideways and didn't look at him, Edney knew that the duplicity child was also curious and was secretly listening to her storytelling.

This is a good time to sell Amway, even to a group of "ancient people".

So she cleared her throat and said, "Then I'll tell you a story about a superhero and a friendly elf fighting an evil Pokemon..."

The more she talked, the more unconstrained she became, and the more she made up, the more she couldn't stop.By the time S.H.I.E.L.D. ignores the fleeing villain Loki and instead offers a bounty on Mewtwo's refresh locations, the boys, including Tom, are already asleep.

... She didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

The happy thing is that these boys who probably haven't closed their eyes for a few days can finally sleep, but the sad thing is that they actually fell asleep listening to her stories...

How can such a cute and charming Pokemon have its own hypnotic effect! (╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻Adney sighed, stood up on tiptoe, and added some branches to the campfire.

She took out her wand, muttered spells softly, cast Muggle Repelling Charms and Ignore Charms around her, plus all the defensive spells and warning spells she could think of, and added a safe guard after thinking about it.

After doing this, she quietly returned to where she was just now, cast a spell on herself to tell the time, and decided to rest for a while before getting up.

Edney had just closed her eyes when Tom beside her opened them.

He had been awake and pretending to be asleep, but this time Edney didn't notice.

He stared at her for a long moment, then drew out his wand expressionlessly, and used a silent spell to cancel the timed spell she had cast on him.

Edne awoke the next day to the warmth of the still-burning campfire.

She looked around in a daze, then jumped up.She had slept against the wall, but when she awoke she found herself lying on the floor, taking the place where Tom had been sitting.

More importantly -

She clearly set a time-telling spell, but she fell asleep until dawn.

Edney woke up instantly and found that she was alone in the air-raid shelter.

The bonfire in front of her was obviously newly replaced firewood, and another pile of twigs that had been burnt black was moved to a place against the wall.

Just when she was about to go out to find someone, she saw Tom walking in from the outside.

Tom held a dead rabbit in one hand, and a water jug ​​from nowhere in the other.

He didn't look at Edney, but threw the kettle into her arms with a flick of his hand, then silently strung up the dead rabbit with branches, walked to the fire, and roasted it on the fire.

Edney looked at the water bottle she received unconsciously, still a little dazed.

Since Tom was the only one coming back at this moment, she had obviously forgotten to think about how he broke the Muggle-repelling spell she had cast.

She looked towards the air-raid shelter again, and after waiting for a while, she didn't see the other boys coming back, so she asked Tom anxiously, "How many other boys are there? You weren't with them? Did something happen—" "

"No." Tom interrupted impatiently. "Do you think they'll come back for you? Who would be stupid enough to come back to someone they don't even know when they can escape to a safer place?" people?"

Edney was taken aback for a moment, and took a moment to digest his words.

After understanding the very directional meaning of his words, she lowered her eyes: "...but haven't you come back?"

Tom choked.

He suddenly regretted it.Why did he come back to her?Just because it turns out she's actually a wizard?Or because the nonsensical story she told yesterday really interested him?

But more embarrassment than regret.

He silently stared at the rabbit he was roasting, and said in a deep voice, "...Are you calling me stupid?"

Edney was stunned for a second, remembering what he had just said, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Be quiet." Tom seemed to have heard something suddenly, frowned and compared a piece of jewelry, looking warily at the entrance of the air-raid shelter.

Edney immediately stopped her voice and followed his gaze.

There was nothing there at first, but with the near and distant roar coming from outside, a blue police phone box appeared outside the air-raid shelter out of thin air.

Her eyes trembled, and she drew out her wand subconsciously, but she immediately noticed that Tom beside him dropped the rabbit at the same time, and also drew out her own wand, pointing the tip of the wand at the opening of the air-raid shelter.

This boy named Marvolo turned out to be a wizard! ?

So that's why she thought he resembled Voldemort...?

Edney shot Tom a surprised look, but Tom tilted his head slightly and frowned at her, signaling her to pay attention.

Tom looked again at the blue box that suddenly appeared in front of them, pursed his lips and slowly walked towards it, but Edney blocked him with the principle that a gentle big sister should protect a cute little lady (?) Behind him, in exchange for Tom's surprised expression.

Just when Edney was extremely nervous and ready to cast a spell, the door of the blue box opened.

A man in a Buberry jacket, overalls and a cute bow tie poked his head out from inside, looked curiously at Edney and Tom who were holding their wands at him, and greeted them tentatively : "Hi—how are you? Uh, are you wizards?"

Tom's frown deepened now.

He came out from behind Edney, stared at the man in front of him closely, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The man seemed unaware of the hostility emanating from Tom, and introduced himself energetically: "Hey, hello—I'm Doctor! From your accent, this should be England? Great. Yes, I came to the right place. But can you tell me what month and day of the year it is now? Your Prime Minister Churchill is looking for me, but there seems to be something wrong with my TARDIS."

Tom: "..."

Edney: "..."

Why is every word he speaks in standard English, but why can't he understand a single sentence when he puts it together? ? ?
