[HP] Noble

"James Potter." Riddle's voice sounded as his good Gryffindor partners stared at each other from a distance across the corridor, sounding with a hint of imperceptible playfulness, "It seems that Gryffindors have always been They all like to sneak around."

"Riddle... what are you doing here? Sirius, why are you with this guy?"

The black-haired Gryffindor standing by the window of the medical wing immediately restrained the initial nervousness, he frowned with a vigilant expression, and turned his eyes from his good friend to the one beside him. Senior Slytherin—as if he had just discovered him now, and judging from the expression on his face, whether it was Riddle himself, the house he belonged to, or even his chest The badge of the chairman of the male student union that he wore before all made this young and outstanding Gryffindor feel disgusted.

And at this moment, Sirius Black also restrained his surprised expression, shrugged his shoulders, showed a hippie smile again, and said to his good buddy in a nonchalant voice: "Narcisa is in the hallway. I saw what we did to the snotling from the window, and she caught me as soon as I got back to the castle-women's sentimentality is really superfluous, right? I know you feel it too."

Potter looked like he wanted to laugh at Sirius for a moment, but then he obviously remembered the reason he had given himself just now about why he was standing here, so he shut his mouth obediently, and then Spreading his hands, he made a helpless look——

Across the corridor, two handsome young Gryffindors laughed like fools together.

"..."

It's hard to imagine that these two people can also be the man of the school - smart, handsome, mischievous and rich family make Potter and Blake the dream lovers of most young girls in their school days.

It hurts Scorpius to look at these two silly hats, and the young dark lord next to him seems to have the same feelings as him - from the beginning to the end, his face is frosty, and there is a twinkle in those red pupils With a cold light, he stood still and did not move, which can explain some problems, for example, if he really cared about his classmates as much as he said, he should have been impatient to enter the medical wing to visit Severer Snape is gone.

But he didn't.

He was just standing in the hallway, watching the two Gryffindors being silly here.

Scorpius guessed that this was probably because there was no professor present, so he didn't have to play tricks on the spot-plus, because the witnesses were two Gryffindors, they couldn't think of such a deep-seated thing, anyway, in their It seems that no matter what this Slytherin does, it is worth hating. Whether it is his excellent performance in all aspects on weekdays or the ruthlessness he shows now, it is so disgusting.

So in this way, they could not perceive the real problem.

At this time, the sky outside Hogwarts Castle was covered with red clouds, it seemed that it was the time of sunset, the last ray of sunlight shone into the corridor through the high windows, this feeling was very strange, Scorpius found himself Standing under the sun, but he can't feel any temperature—words like "memory" should be neutral, simple nouns that don't contain any emotion, but when people try to compare it with "temperature" In fact, this kind of behavior is inappropriate when hooking up with adjectives, but Scorpius really felt the coldness of the young Dark Lord's memory.

Riddle stood there patiently watching the two Gryffindors smiling like fools. His profile looked like a pool of stagnant water that Scorpius felt now. He looked He didn't seem to care about the unscrupulous provocation and teasing of the two junior Gryffindors, as if he had never lived in Slytherin with a strict hierarchical system for many years.

Scorpius guesses that this is probably because the people at the top sometimes don't care much about such details.

And just when he was thinking about these messy things, he heard Riddle finally speak: "Doing high-profile things is indeed one of the ways to attract people's attention—and to be attracted There's a good chance that the crowd will include the women you're trying to attract, but if I were you, I wouldn't make too many outrageous acts at this time, gentlemen, we've had enough attacks , there is no need for you to artificially add another one.”

As soon as Riddle finished speaking, the Gryffindors stopped laughing immediately.

It was as if someone had flipped a switch on the toys, turning off the stupid monotonous repetitive sounds they made.

It took a few seconds to grasp the main point of Riddle's words, and found that he mentioned the "attack", which made Scorpius slightly widen his eyes.

——And obviously James Potter and Sirius Black also guessed the meaning of Riddle's words at the first time.

From this moment on, the memories in the diary were finally linked to the key points of the incident. Obviously, the memory that Riddle showed Scorpius was not the very beginning of the incident. Judging from the reaction to the simple word "event", the meaning it represents is obviously more profound than "an accidental attack"-Scorpius conjectures that Hogwarts at this time may have become like Draco's later There have been several attacks as mentioned, and it is more likely that Moaning Myrtle is dead by this time, and Hogwarts, is facing the crisis of officially closing the school for the first time.

Just like what Scorpius and the others are going through now.

"It's not like we have nowhere to go when the school is closed," James Potter said indifferently, "I don't know what you're worried about, Riddle."

The young Gryffindor's words made Riddle show a rare expression - he frowned, as if he was not happy to hear such an answer.

Scorpius quickly realized that he had read relevant records. Back then, the Dark Lord was taken back to Hogwarts by Dumbledore from the orphanage under the identity of both parents being Muggles. No one knew about him at the time. He is a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, and no one knows that the blood of the last batch of ancient wizarding families flows in his body-he came to Hogwarts from the Muggle world alone, It's like the most flexible fish in the world has finally returned to the sea from the land, and he has a new life in the wizarding world, but now that Hogwarts is closed, it means that he has not yet graduated from school and does not need to be in the wizarding world. He had to return to the Muggle world to stay with his right to work.

And he had clearly had enough of living in the Muggle world.

It was impossible for him to bring himself back to that world.

Compared with the young masters of the magical family like Potter or Black, the closure of the school may be just a "some regrettable but helpless thing", but for the young Tom Riddle, it is absolutely not allowed to happen.

"It seems that Mr. Potter doesn't care about the future of the school." Riddle narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Yeah, it doesn't make the same difference where you take the class?" Potter shrugged.

"I don't really want Hogwarts to close down, James." After pondering for a while, Sirius said to his friend with a rare expression of hesitation, "My mother might send me to Dems because of it." Trang—two steps from there can trample a student of the dark arts to death, so I don't want to go there, and I don't want to be separated from you and Lupine."

"I can go with you to Durmstrang, believe me, it's all right, Sirius," said James Potter, looking very confident, "just when we have to face a lot of Slytherins, look, It’s okay to think about it this way, aren’t we living well now—and just sent one of them to the medical wing!”

The young Gryffindor's tone sounded smug - Scorpius thought about it, then remembered the time in his third year when everyone gathered in the Order of the Phoenix and everyone's relationship eased because of it , he seemed to have heard Potter himself say once, that even he thought his father was a jerk in a way.

Now Scorpius felt he couldn't agree more with what Harry Potter had said.

His dad was really an asshole.

And it's the kind that is better than Sirius.

Scorpius used to be quite confused about how Professor Snape could forgive Sirius and finally accept him as his partner. Now that he thinks about it, if he had to choose one of James Potter or Sirius Black, If it were him, he would have chosen Black.

And at the moment, Sirius doesn't seem entirely convinced by his good friend - in fact, when Riddle mentions the "I deserve Watts shut down" incident, he looks worried, loses all interest in joking, and goes off without a word. The old Potter didn't seem to notice this, he raised his chin proudly, and said to Riddle: "If you're worried about the school closing down, instead of teaching us to be obedient here, it's better to save this little time The guy who opened the Chamber of Secrets and released the monster caught out and ended it all—aha, I guess that's good advice, don't you, Riddle?"

Potter fell behind, and the surroundings fell into a long silence.

Even though there was an interval of 24 years, Scorpius could still feel the turbulent undercurrent and the awkward atmosphere. For a moment, he always felt that Riddle was about to pull out his wand and be as proud of this Rooster Gryffindor cast any of the Unforgivable spells - but he didn't, and unexpectedly, he smiled, a smile that made everyone present, Scorpius included, jump. They were stunned, and then they heard the young male student council chairman say unhurriedly: "You are right, Mr. Potter, this is really a good proposal."

"..." The weird smile on Riddle's face made Potter shut his mouth suddenly - he felt as if he had said something wrong.

But Riddle didn't seem to care about it, he just continued unhurriedly: "I hope we can catch the murderer this morning, so that Hogwarts won't be forced to close."

After speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

Leaving Potter and Black staring at each other inexplicably.

Scorpius didn't have time to look at Potter's and the others' reactions, so he just subconsciously turned around and trotted all the way to keep up with Riddle's pace - he thought that although the last sentence Riddle said made sense literally, but carefully Thinking about it, you will find that it is actually a bit strange to understand logically...

Scorpius followed Riddle's ass, watching his steps become much easier than before.

He looked like he had found a solution to things.

This subconscious guess made Scorpius feel genuinely uneasy.

Following behind the person in the memory of the diary, to Scorpius' disappointment, the other party did not walk on the road leading to the bathroom on the second floor, he just turned around and came to a remote corridor——Huo Gewarz is too big, and generally speaking, its decoration makes it look like everywhere, and the magnetic field where the school itself is located is a bit strange. Every year, new students will appear in the school castle Things to get lost in.

So that meant that when Riddle stopped, even Scorpius was a little confused about where they were now—he just remembered how many flights they went down, and up, and passed Some classrooms with students in class, and then as the population became more and more sparse, they finally came to this strange corridor.

There are neat armors on both sides of the corridor.

The armor seems to have not been cleaned for a long time, which seems to prove from the side that this is not the main road of the castle (every Christmas, the main road of the castle organizes students to clean it).

Scorpius watched as Riddle pulled out his wand and extinguished the fires on both sides of the corridor-the candles at Hogwarts were blessed by the founder of the school, Hufflepuff, so they were not so much now. It is better to say that Riddle used a special shielding spell to temporarily isolate them, and the corridor was suddenly plunged into some kind of darkness. Scorpius vaguely saw that the first person who had darkened around him In no time, Riddle immediately hid behind some two armors that were relatively close together like a nimble cat.

Everything around suddenly became quiet, and Riddle stayed motionless behind the armor, so quiet that it seemed that he himself had also become a lifeless armor.

In darkness and silence people find themselves easily losing their sense of time.

Scorpius didn't know how long they waited—maybe 10 minutes, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour—in short, when night fell outside Hogwarts Castle, Scorpius When he also began to feel impatient, he finally heard the sound of someone walking furtively not far away.

Probably passers-by.

Scorpius thought absently.

However, after the initial relaxation, he was suddenly taken aback, realizing that such a remote place should not be passed by by chance.

The figure of the man looked very tall, because he deliberately lightened his steps, which made him walk very slowly - from a distance, Scorpius felt as if he saw a moving hill heading towards him The side moved slowly, the hill was backlit, and Scorpius couldn't see what he looked like until about 5 minutes later, the man stopped in front of a certain armor not far from them.

He drew his wand and cast a strange spell—in a language Scorpius had never heard—yes, never, and he bet that language definitely didn't belong to any country, and couldn't be Elvish or other spells are commonly used in the language of the race.

After a burst of red light, the armor in front of the man actually moved slowly—they moved neatly to both sides. Amidst the rustling sounds of armor metal colliding, Scorpius heard the man seem to be very nervous. He breathed harder—Scorpius took two steps forward, and at this moment he saw a stone recess that appeared behind the two armors—probably just enough to accommodate an adult—accurate To put it bluntly, it looked uncomfortably reminiscent of a sarcophagus.

"Okay, baby, come out carefully, and tonight, as we said, you have to get out of here and go back to the Forbidden Forest - it's too dangerous here, and Professor Dumbledore will talk to you at dinner tonight." Once a speech was announced, I am afraid they will increase their efforts to investigate—”

The man was muttering, and Scorpius thought the voice sounded familiar.

At the same time, Riddle also quietly stepped out from behind the armor.

Scorpius saw him raise his wand - at the same moment, the shielding spell was completely removed in an instant, and the firelight in the corridor suddenly lit up, and the man standing in front of the stone groove was startled He turned his head suddenly, and the jumping flames completely exposed the panic on his face to the eyes of Riddle and Scorpius.

"Good night, Hagruber." Riddle smiled gracefully, "Now, give me what you let out of the Chamber of Secrets—whatever it is, and let us end this farce, forced to before closing."
