He pushed the lunch box in front of everyone and smiled sincerely: "I can't eat so much by myself, who of you wants to eat?"
"Give me a piece! I want to eat!" The children chattered.The cherry jam smeared thickly on it is not a luxury, but there are not many who are willing to use so much for children's autumn outings.
"But... you all have to eat, I don't have so much..." Tom pretended to be embarrassed.To fool this group of idiots, he doesn't even need too much expression and IQ, "I want to go to that cave to play later, and whoever wants to accompany me, I will eat for him."
Seeing the dark cave with a strange atmosphere from top to bottom, almost all the children were frightened.
"...What a coward." Tom chuckled, his eyes flicking over the boy.
Provocative method.Simple, but always useful, especially for these few brainless idiots.
"He and I will go with you!" Sure enough, the boy who yelled the loudest in front of Tom immediately stood up and pulled a companion along. Although he was a little scared, his eyes were still fixed on Tom's lunch box, "But You have to give me and him everything to eat."
"Of course no problem." Tom smiled and covered the lunch box to block the coveted eyes of the children around him.
all?Let's hope he still has some teeth when he comes out!The child sneered coldly in the shadows.
"Ri, Riddle... shall we go in again..." The boy followed behind Tom, looked around in fear and lowered his voice.
The dark cave completely blocked people's sight.In the darkness, the two boys could only make out the vague outline of Tom walking ahead.
"Hey, we just came in." Tom sneered, his steps were not slow, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.The closer to the center of the cave, the more clear the inexplicable feeling.The forces that belong to the same source seem to be able to respond to each other, with a completely different color, which is extremely attractive.
Originally, he only wanted to take revenge on the two people behind him, but he accidentally discovered an even bigger surprise.It seems that it will not work if you don't give them a gift!
The child sneered, since he dared to provoke him, he must have the awareness to bear the consequences!In the darkness, the boy's handsome face became more and more distorted, as ferocious as the protruding rocks on the cave wall.
Tom had indeed disguised himself very well. No one noticed how much that sentence hurt him, no one saw how angry he was, and no one imagined what kind of consequences it would cause.
Harry...don't want him anymore.As long as you think about this possibility for a moment, the extreme dormant in the blood is like bacteria multiplying, and there is only one thought that occupies the brain and thoughts-to shut him up, so that he will never be able to say that sentence!
The two boys who inadvertently touched the Demon King Nilin just trembled and looked around, not taking any precautions against the child walking in front, which doomed their fate.
The narrow corridor gradually came to an end, but the gloomy environment did not suddenly become clear, and an ominous atmosphere began to spread, but for Tom, it was a feast.
"Riddle...can we not go in?" The boy swallowed, his legs began to tremble.
Tom glanced at them lazily, no longer pretending, and sneered in the pure darkness. Almost immediately, an irresistible force carried them towards the end of the corridor.
"Ah!" The boys were defenseless, they could only thump in the air, and in the next second, they were surrounded by bone-chilling liquid.
It turns out that at the end of the corridor, there is a sea area naturally shielded by cliffs.
"Damn Riddle!" the boys cursed, knowing it was Tom's revenge.They wiped the water stains from their faces and struggled to climb to the bank.However, Tom's anger can be appeased by this little punishment?
Suddenly, the coldness wrapped around the legs made the two of them stop their movements, and the spine-chilling touch carried an irresistible yin energy.The two turned their heads stiffly, but they met the two eye sockets that had been corroded and had their eyeballs removed.
"It's really...indescribably wonderful..." Tom, who gradually stepped out of the tunnel, could no longer restrain the ecstasy in his heart.His dark, intense eyes radiated an almost physical light.
He was also overjoyed to know that Harry was the same as him, for the bond between Harry and him.And now, he exults in finding another form of his origin.Harry was too bright. Out of some concerns, he never used powerful magic in front of the young Tom, so when the existence that symbolized another extreme appeared, it would give Tom such a big impact.
"Ah! Help, help!" the boys screamed, twitching their limp feet.The stench of the corpse could not dissipate from the tip of the nose, and the sticky corpse liquid could drive people crazy. The boys' hearts were almost overloaded, and it seemed as if the blood vessels would burst in just one second!
Unable to bear it, they finally fainted, and the corpses gradually climbed up their bodies, and their lives were gradually extinguished.
Tom watched calmly the whole time.He grinned, showing a rather bright smile, and released his magic power.
Can't let these two guys die, he... is afraid of trouble.
Zhang's teacher found the missing three people on the other side of the beach.
Two of the children were drenched and had an unpleasant stench, and the other was the most seriously injured, with a large gash on his arm, and was unconscious.I asked the two children what was going on, but the language was broken, and I couldn't understand the reason after listening for a long time.
What kind of corpse crawled out of the sea, the brain is broken, right?
☆, September 1935, 12
In 1935, London had completely stepped into winter from autumn, marching towards the cold winter with pride.The snowflakes drifted past Christmas Eve, Christmas, and then the last day of 1932, Tom's birthday.
"Tom, where are you going?" The simple and honest nanny came out of the kitchen timidly, looking at the child who had just opened the door.This child is very polite and well-behaved, and he can be regarded as the most worry-free among the many children under the care of the nanny, but she is afraid of those expressions that he inadvertently shows, which are also incomprehensible to her.
"Today is your birthday, Mr. Potter told me..."
Tom stood by the door, and the chilly wind outside the door was mixed with flying snowflakes, which occasionally stuck to his neck, making people shiver with cold.But as if he didn't feel the cold, he stood upright.
"I...go to my classmate's house." Tom was silent for a while, then suddenly bared his teeth and smiled.
classmate?Which classmate dares to take him home?
"But……"
"I'm going to a classmate's house for my birthday." Tom replied irresistibly.
The sky is not completely clear yet, the cold wind pours in from the neckline, the snow particles squeak under the stripes of the soles of the shoes, and all the exhaled breath turns into self-fog, blinding the sight.
Tom pulled his cuffs, and the smile he had just shown in front of the nanny turned expressionless.
Birthday?Children never think of it as a day to celebrate.On his birthday, his cowardly and useless mother died sadly, not even willing to save an extra day for him.What is there to celebrate on a day like this?
But Harry didn't think so.On the last day of every year, he insisted on celebrating Tom's birthday, and even ordered a birthday cake.The child hated the sweet and greasy cream, and even more hated the sticky chocolate, but for the first time, he ate two pieces under Harry's smiling gaze.
Harry loved celebrating his birthday, or any festive occasion.He can always climb up and down to arrange the house, smiling with crooked eyebrows and blushing cheeks, enjoying it.
Harry would always kiss his forehead, smile and say, "Thank you for being born."
Tom knew it was just an ordinary birthday prayer, but it would give him the feeling that... Harry was really glad that he existed.
But he knew it wasn't.
Harry would not be happy about his existence, much less sad about his disappearance.The reason why Harry stayed here was just to pity him or feel that it was a duty.When he's an adult or on his own, Harry won't hesitate to leave, just like this time.
The child's face distorted for a moment, and a trace of gloom overflowed from his sharp eyes.He quickened his pace, suppressing his desire to kill.
In Harry's absence, birthdays were dull.
He circled the path with ease, and arrived at the deserted beach again.
The winter morning came very late, and when he arrived, the subtle winter sun had just risen from the other side of the sea, lighting up a sea area with flickering lights and shadows, and even the dark cave had seen a ray of light seep into it.Seeing that cave, the child smiled faintly.
"Come on, we're here." Tom patted his cuffs, his lips parted and let out a soft air flow.Then, a blue-black snake as thick as an iron pestle came out of the cuff, and crawled up the child's shoulder with its core.
"Let's go!" The snake writhed excitedly.It likes the smell, the smell of resentment, corrupted by darkness.Tom sure likes it too!
The snake was not as big as Tom, and it was only born for four years, but the memory inheritance from the gene made it understand magic better than Tom, and also understood this magical product-the infernal corpse.
"Naturally formed ghosts are, very, very..." Even though the knowledge is sufficient, the snake that lacks the ability to express cannot find any words to describe it, so it bites its own tail anxiously.
Tom stepped into the cave, as leisurely as in his own garden.Listening to the snake's intermittent expression, he could vaguely guess half of it.
"Unforgettable?" Tom raised his eyebrows.
"Ah? What does this mean?" The snake's small head really has limited storage, and the snake vomited out its core incomprehensibly, bypassing this topic and continuing: "Infernal corpses are usually made by magic, but if they are special environment, the dead will be transformed into ghosts.”
Made it?The child grasped the word keenly and licked his lips with interest.
"Because it is formed naturally, there are very few infernal corpses here, and they are not powerful at all." The snake complained unhappily.
Listening to the snake's complaint, Tom licked his lips again, his dark eyes shone with excitement, but his tone remained flat: "Amazing... how powerful can it be?"
The snake began to struggle again.The memory from the gene is vague, and it only knows a general idea.
"Well... if you encounter something powerful, those two people will not be able to save them last time, and they will all turn into ghost corpses." The snake flicked its tail.
Tom nodded and said nothing more.
It can be made, powerful, and can automatically multiply... This is really a good pet.The light flickering in his eyes was hidden in the darkness, making it unreal.
They approached the divided body of water in the cave.The water surface is very calm, even if it is connected to the sea, the tide of the sea cannot push in through the barrier of the cliff. It is this dead and dark environment that allows the dead explorers to transform into corpses step by step.
There is no wrinkle on the black water, smooth and calm like black marble.But as soon as a person steps into the water, he will be dragged into the water by the creatures lurking under the water, and he will never come out.Unknown equals danger.
Tom stood on the shore covered with stones, and the stones under his feet were all undeveloped and extremely pure crystal rough stones.Such an environment can breed yin corpses, and naturally the stones can be bred into more precious rough stones.But Tom took no interest in what lay beneath his feet.
"Tom, look there, there is a small island there!" The snake's vision is much sharper than that of a human, let alone a magical snake species.
The child squinted his eyes, and as expected, at the boundary where the sea water meets the horizon, a small island abruptly broke the original straight line connecting the sea and the sky.
An isolated island, an isolated island completely isolated from the outside world.
Tom narrowed his narrow dark eyes, and a thought popped into his mind.
— very suitable for... confinement.
Building a solitary tower on the island can almost cut off all contact with the outside world, imprisoning and imprisoning the creatures in the solitary tower, just like the fairy tale "Rapunzel" Harry told him, they can only be controlled by him. He asks.
Tom pursed his lips eagerly, but cautiously restrained his thoughts.At least, he doesn't have that power right now...
"Then... how can I create an Inferi?" Tom lowered his eyes, his voice became softer, more bewitching, and more dangerous, "Create more, more powerful... Inferi."
The snake froze.It touched its small head with its pointed tail, tilted its head and said honestly: "I don't know. But if you want to increase the number of infernal corpses, you only need to let them drag the living people down."
Drag the living... down.Tom murmured the words softly, so slowly and clearly that he seemed to be pondering each word.
The child tapped the stone under his feet and turned around calmly, but the words that came out of his mouth made people shudder: "After all...there are too many stupid and incompetent people in London."
Since the financial crisis in 1929, the black market has surpassed the stock exchange to become the most lively place.
The black market is not like securities with all kinds of rules. In this place where even the law has no binding effect, power and money are the rules.A bigger reason why people love the black market is that there is no need to explain where things come from, let alone care about where things go and what they are used for.
After the transaction, the goods and goods are settled.
But there are also exceptions, those who want to know the origin of the goods and make a fortune.
"Little friend, tell Uncle, where did this stone come from?" The vendor tried his best to soften his expression, trying to make himself look more believable, but the impromptu disguise could not hide the greedy light in his eyes.
Tom sneered in his heart, but on the surface he looked ignorant and looked up at the vendor: "In a cave, there are many, many such stones."
"Can you take uncle? Uncle will give you a lot of money."
The child smiled happily and looked at the vendor expectantly, clutching the shillings that had just been returned with stones: "More than these?"
The vendor played with the rough crystal stone in his hand, wiped off the stone skin to reveal a small piece of clear crystal texture, and could even see the beautiful golden wire shape inside it with light.
It's titanium crystal!
Titanium crystal, known as the best crystal, naturally arouses the desire of traders for money.If he could find titanite, would he still be working hard on the black market from dawn to dusk, and would he care about those few pound shillings?
"Of course." The vendor replied readily, "As long as you take me there."
The child showed a satisfied smile, innocently urging the vendor to leave quickly.
The vendor narrowed his eyes and nodded ecstatically: "Okay, I'll ask some people to go with me." Call more people and bring back more rough stones.
Of course Tom wouldn't mind.
Soon, the vendor summoned a team of six confidantes, brought identification instruments, and while avoiding the eyes and ears of other vendors, drove into the truck and set off.
Calmly.Of course, he couldn't let others know where the cornucopia was.
Tom sat in the passenger seat with a reserved expression, careful not to touch the leather cushion on the car seat.Cars are a luxury even in the 21st century, let alone 1935.
"Hahahaha..." The merchant laughed loudly, becoming more and more sure that this was just a child from a poor family.Thinking of the future filled with titanium crystals and money, he couldn't help laughing, and even the five people sitting behind were also smiling.
Tom pretends to be the 'prissy poor boy', but smiles darkly beneath the mask.
The reason why he likes the black market is because people in the black market can never satisfy their desires.The more unsatisfactory he is, the more beneficial he is.
Oh, he can't wait to see them panicking and turning into Inferi...
The venomous snake hides in the dark, showing its coldly shining teeth to its prey.
"I picked up this stone in the water. There are many more in it." The child simply pointed to the water, interrupting their eager eyes on the crystal on the shore.
The merchants immediately woke up.Although the quality of the rough stone on the shore is good, it is not as good as the titanium crystal picked up by the child. It seems that the big head is hidden in the water.
The six nodded, carried the detectors on their backs, and plunged into the water.
The water was stirred up layer by layer, and there was a sound of water, and at the same time, it also doomed the fate of these six people.
……
The fight finally stopped with the defeat of the humans.The water surface gradually calmed down, and the six lives disappeared under the dark and cold sea water. Under the gestation of the environment, they gradually transformed into ghost corpses.
Not enough, not enough, not enough!
The child purses his lips.He stood on the shore, staring at the abrupt island in the distance, his thin figure was hidden in the darkness, like a larva wrapped in a cocoon, gestating something.
He suddenly showed another smile, especially permeating in the darkness.
Without Harry's birthday present, the six infernal corpses could barely be counted as presents.
"Tom, what about that truck?" Snake asked boredly, lying on the child's shoulder.
Tom narrowed his eyes: "The sea can swallow everything."
☆, September 1936, 1
The Christmas holiday passed amid the children's hilarity. Even if they were reluctant, the children had no choice but to restrain their nature and go back to school with their schoolbags on their backs.
The beginning of the new year is always full of hope, no matter how cold the weather is, it will never make the smiles on the children's faces lessen a little bit.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, Tom still plays the image of a good student who is loved by the teacher, the nanny is still dedicated to taking care of the children's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Harry... still hasn't come back.
On January [-]th, Harry had been away for three months and nineteen days, and it was only one month and eleven days before the May period.
The thin and beautiful child picked up his schoolbag without saying a word, hung it on his shoulders, and walked out of the classroom with an indifferent expression.
"Tom, I'll go home with you!" Ellie raised her voice, lest he could not hear.A girl of this age, with a flushed face and big eyes, is still very likable when she is not acting like a princess.
It just doesn't seem to work that well with Tom.
The beautiful and tall child was just walking forward with his schoolbag on his back. The straps of the schoolbag were almost drooping to the ground, but he still didn’t feel it. His arrogance made him stand out.
It is completely different from the usual gentle, polite and considerate expression.
Ellie was in a hurry, and randomly stuffed the doll hairpins on the table into her schoolbag. Before she could even pull the zipper of the schoolbag, she rushed out with the schoolbag in her arms. .
"Wait for me, Tom!"
The little girl called, but the child walking in front did not intend to slow down in the slightest.He wasn't walking fast, at least he seemed casual, but the girl could only trot.
Ellie finally catches up with Tom.The little girl gasped heavily, and grabbed Tom's docile clothes with her hands.The little girl's family is good, and she can be regarded as the richest man in this not-too-rich town, so she naturally has some pampered arrogance.
"Tom, can I go to your house to play?" The girl excitedly tugged at the boy's hem, although she asked, she didn't mean to refuse.
Even though there is something to say about a girl who is a little bit petite and cute, but for Tom, who is already in a bad mood, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
"Let go." The words were concise and to the point, without ups and downs.
"Tom, I want to eat the cherry sauce from last time!" Ellie was still chattering, probably because Tom's pretended gentleness and kindness gave her confidence.
The child clicked his tongue impatiently, and waved away the hand holding his skirt.
"Go away." The voice seemed to overflow from an ice cellar, sending chills down the spine.
Tom squinted his eyes threateningly, and the gloomy and cold face was completely presented in front of the girl's eyes for the first time, making the girl take a step back involuntarily.
Masquerading as a harmless sheep, the pup finally bared his fangs for the first time in front of others.Seeing the girl's pale face instantly, the child sneered disdainfully, and his inexplicable pleasure made him purse his lips comfortably.He no longer cared if his disguise would be punctured.In the end, his disguise was just to win Harry's sympathy, and Harry was not around, so there was no need to pretend.
Tom is just a child after all, and he willfully vents his inner anxiety, restlessness and resentment in this way.
"Soup, Tom..." the girl said.
The child sneered, turned his head and continued walking, and stingily stopped giving the girl a look.
Ellie hesitated for a while, but she still didn't give up, but Tom's eyes still made her feel lingering.The boy's tall and thin figure had already started to walk away, but the girl stamped her feet, gritted her teeth, and chased after him.It's just that this time he followed carefully and didn't speak again, let alone stepping forward to pull Tom's clothes.
Ellie was still puzzled, why did Tom become so scary all of a sudden?
Step by step, the house is getting closer.Tom strode towards the house, approaching mechanically without any emotional ups and downs, as if he had completed a task.
Ellie followed behind Tom, looking curiously at the extraordinarily majestic house, clicking her tongue.Although I knew that Tom's family was not bad, I didn't expect it to come to this point.It has to be said that although sometimes unreliable, the abilities of the Weasley brothers should not be underestimated.
Tom pushed aside the iron fence that surrounded the outside to his chest height, and walked in without paying any attention to the girl following behind.The girl hesitated for a while, and her strong curiosity forced her to step out of a place that no other girl in the class had ever set foot on.
She gently pushed the fence, carefully observed the reaction of the boy in front, and seeing that he had no objection, she walked into the small garden with peace of mind.
At this time, Tom didn't care about reacting to Ellie behind him, his eyes were only fixed on the pair of irregularly placed shoes at the door.
Harry has never liked wearing leather shoes, he seems to be more keen on comfortable sneakers.
The pair of shoes at the door were as white as when they left, but the sides of the shoes were stained with some grass roots. Tom could even imagine how the man stepped on the lawn in front of the garden, took off his shoes and stepped into the house.
Even his breathing became rapid involuntarily, and the amplitude of nerve fluctuations began to increase gradually. He could even hear the sound of accelerated blood flow in his ears. Adrenaline quickly spread throughout his body with the accelerated blood, and even made his sweat glands start to work. , The child suddenly felt a dry throat.
Is...he is back?
The child tried to calm his breath, even his chest heaved uncontrollably, but he couldn't restrain his steps. He didn't even take off his shoes, and he didn't care about Ellie who was stunned behind him. He walked into the living room and stepped up the stairs.
The girl stared wide-eyed as she watched the boy go upstairs quickly. His tense expression, uncontrollably accelerated pace, and unsteady footsteps all told Ellie that he was very nervous.Ellie has never seen Tom's expression fluctuate too much. In her impression, Tom's expression seems to have only one, a good-natured smile.The ferocious and cold expression just now flashed in her mind like a hallucination, and she immediately rejected it.
The girl stood at the door, not knowing whether to retreat or enter.
Tom stood at the door of Harry's room again.The door to the room was closed, as it had been during the three months Harry had been away.
The child stood at the door, but suddenly hesitated.Tom Riddle, who has always been fearless, arrogant and wanton, hesitated.He pursed his lips tightly, starting to get scared.Three months ago, he was also like this. He stood at the door of Harry's room and pushed the door open, but the room was filled with disappointment.
The boy with deep eyes stood in front of the door for a long time, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.
The door was gently pushed open, and there was a dissatisfied cry when the door shaft "squeaked--".
The room was quiet, it seemed no different from when Tom left, even the position of the teacup on the bedside table had not moved, and the fine dust scattered by the door had never been raised.In the room, it was cold.Even though the sunlight poured down into the room mercilessly through the window bars, the child still felt the coolness gathered around him, enveloping him like a haze.
The child stood at the door with the shoes he hadn't taken off still on his feet. The wet weather outside the house along his path left a brown footprint.Tom's dark eyes were gloomy, and the light hidden in the pupils was also soaked by something, and he couldn't see it at all.The child pursed his lips tightly, suppressing the disappointment in his heart like surging waves.
Tom suddenly felt disgusted with himself for having such emotional ups and downs because of one person.He suddenly found the hurried footprints on the stairs so glaring, and laughed at him for being a fool, played by a prank called "Harry Potter".The boy's handsome face suddenly twisted.
"Tom? There's a girl down there, is that your classmate?"
The sound made Tom look up suddenly, and the reflection of the man reflected in the pure black pupils was extremely clear.
The child's hand was still resting on the door frame, and the whole person was like a wax figure solidified by resin.
"What's wrong? You don't know me anymore?"
Tom just felt a tightness in his throat.
The young man stood by the stairs, his face was as pale as ever, and his eyes were as bright as ever.
The young man approached Tom, gestured to the top of his head, and said dumbfounded, "Oh my God, it's only been three or four months, and you've grown taller again?"
Tom did grow very fast. After getting enough nutrition, he grew wildly like a willow that had been full of rain and dew. Standing in front of Harry, it almost reached Harry's chest.
Looking at the child with deep eyes, Harry couldn't help but rubbed the child's hair, and his chuckle was unconsciously filled with pride and pride.
The child stared fixedly at the buttons on Harry's windbreaker, and for a moment didn't know what to say.The hand stroking his hair touched his forehead from time to time, and the cold skin made him shiver involuntarily.Tom felt that he must be controlled by something invisible. His always shrewd head was completely muddled. He couldn't restrain himself and instinctively stretched out his arms, wrapping them around the young man's thin waist.
Harry hadn't taken off his windbreaker yet, and he was still feeling cold, but the child refused to let go of his arms.
Harry didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his eyes couldn't help softening.It wasn't their first hug, but it was the first one the kid asked him for.This child has always been emotionally restrained, and he hardly shows his anger and happiness. It is rare for him to take the initiative to open his arms to him.I haven't seen him for three or four months, no matter how calm the child is, he still panics, right?
Harry sighed softly, bowed slightly, and hugged Tom back.
"Stop being coquettish, your classmate is still down there." Harry let go of his hand, and helped the child straighten the somewhat messy hair.
Tom withdrew from Harry's arms sullenly, his expression not very good-looking.
behave in a spoiled manner?Tom didn't like that word much.
Ellie stood at the door poking her head, curious about the young man who had just come out of the kitchen.
He... is Tom's adoptive father?
Very young, just like my brother.The little girl liked the gentle smile of the talented young man, and was even more curious about Tom's home.
"Come in." Then Tom suddenly appeared on the stairs, smiling at her.At this time, Tom was a polite and good student in that school again.
Ellie completely forgot about Tom's sinister and vicious contrast, jumped three feet high, happily put on her slippers, and stepped into Tom and Harry's house.
"I'll get you some tea." The tall and beautiful child smiled and beckoned to the girl, with a gentle attitude, his normally dark eyes were also tinted a little brighter, and the corners of his raised mouth all showed his master's good mood.At this time, the girl was at the age when she was in the midst of love fantasies, and she didn't realize that she was a little imaginative, Prince Charming, MrRright, all kinds of names popped up all of a sudden, which made the girl's face a little hot.
Harry asked Ellie to sit down on the sofa, his cheeks were flushed, he couldn't help raising his brows itchingly, and teased a few times: "Is my Tom handsome?"
The girl coyed for a while, her voice was not much louder than a mosquito: "Handsome."
Harry couldn't help chuckling, and the sweet whisper made Ellie's face blush a little more.Harry felt that his chest was filled instantly, and he was a little addicted to the joy of his child being praised.
Tom, at least, had changed a little.He will open his arms to him, he will take his classmates home to play, he will attract the attention of little girls...
With these changes, Harry would probably wake up laughing when he fell asleep.
Tom always hides well, presenting all the light in front of Harry's eyes, covering up the darkness with light.
Harry was lying on the bed, no matter how soft and warm the bedding under him was, it couldn't lure him into a dream.The pain in his body forced him to curl up, and his face turned pale again.He turned over, sighed, endured the pain and closed his eyes, but still smiled at the corners of his mouth.He felt it was worth the pain.
And Tom was also lying on the bed, also unable to fall asleep.
"I think...our infernal cultivation must slow down..."
☆, September 1936, 3
Ellie became a frequent visitor to house No.15 on London Street, and the nameplate of house No.15 was engraved with cursive characters: Harry Potter.
As for why, it was naturally because of Tom.Once again the kid finds a shortcut to his ultimate goal - through the girl Ellie.
The child was keenly aware that every time he brought Ellie home, it was Harry who was the happiest.
Harry liked that girl very much.Tom watched coldly, watching the young man happily buy cakes and desserts, suppressing a trace of boredom in his chest, and showing an interested and decent smile.
"Tom? Where have you been today?" Harry frowned slightly, looking at Tom who was taking off his scarf at the door.
The child raised his head and looked calmly into the young man's eyes. His clear eyes made it impossible to doubt.The child rubbed the snake's cold skin through his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Today Ellie said she wanted me to go to her house to play."
Harry's expression eased a little: "Have you eaten yet? The meal is ready."
"I'm just hungry, Harry." The pretty child grinned, and threw the scarf, which was stained with a cold smell, into the laundry basket, and inadvertently wiped off the lime from the cave on the corner of the clothes.
Even at the age of seven, he already knew how to use all available resources at hand.
The girl immersed in the fantasy of princes and princesses is completely immersed in the gentleness and smile of the boy, completely unaware that she is just a tool and an excuse.
"Tom, I will marry you when I grow up!" the girl said innocently.
The boy and girl carrying schoolbags and walking on the road together under the setting sun are innocent and innocent. In Xu Jun's life, childhood sweethearts and bamboo horses are probably the most perfect fairy tales.
"You haven't grown up yet."
"Then I will grow up quickly!"
The child with black hair and black eyes had dark eyes, but his face was full of smiles.
Tom is precocious, he has a deeper understanding of what marriage is than children of the same age, and he hates "marriage" even more.When he was in the orphanage, that fat woman, Fernie, described his mother to him almost viciously: "A person is pregnant and has no husband to take care of her. People abandoned it."
He didn't pity the woman who gave birth to him, on the contrary, he hated her cowardice.Such a humble, stupid and incompetent person who lived because of a marriage!
He doesn't need marriage, compared to the bondage of a marriage contract, strength is the most effective way to get everything!
In March and April in early spring, the alcohol column in the thermometer hovered around 10°C, and the cold cave was freezing cold.The cave was extremely quiet, and even the low sound of water drops could be heard clearly.
The snake lay on the child's shoulder, its tail swam slightly.
"These... are not enough." The hissing sound from the child's mouth was like snake skin running over his feet, making one's hair stand on end.
The snake raised its tail, widened its eyes, and saw the densely flickering creatures in the lake, murmured unconsciously: "I think there are quite a lot."
"In terms of strength, it is far from enough. I need a stronger ghost."
The snake finally understood, it flicked its tail, with a look of no need to worry: "This place is very suitable for infernal corpses, as long as they are here
"Give me a piece! I want to eat!" The children chattered.The cherry jam smeared thickly on it is not a luxury, but there are not many who are willing to use so much for children's autumn outings.
"But... you all have to eat, I don't have so much..." Tom pretended to be embarrassed.To fool this group of idiots, he doesn't even need too much expression and IQ, "I want to go to that cave to play later, and whoever wants to accompany me, I will eat for him."
Seeing the dark cave with a strange atmosphere from top to bottom, almost all the children were frightened.
"...What a coward." Tom chuckled, his eyes flicking over the boy.
Provocative method.Simple, but always useful, especially for these few brainless idiots.
"He and I will go with you!" Sure enough, the boy who yelled the loudest in front of Tom immediately stood up and pulled a companion along. Although he was a little scared, his eyes were still fixed on Tom's lunch box, "But You have to give me and him everything to eat."
"Of course no problem." Tom smiled and covered the lunch box to block the coveted eyes of the children around him.
all?Let's hope he still has some teeth when he comes out!The child sneered coldly in the shadows.
"Ri, Riddle... shall we go in again..." The boy followed behind Tom, looked around in fear and lowered his voice.
The dark cave completely blocked people's sight.In the darkness, the two boys could only make out the vague outline of Tom walking ahead.
"Hey, we just came in." Tom sneered, his steps were not slow, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.The closer to the center of the cave, the more clear the inexplicable feeling.The forces that belong to the same source seem to be able to respond to each other, with a completely different color, which is extremely attractive.
Originally, he only wanted to take revenge on the two people behind him, but he accidentally discovered an even bigger surprise.It seems that it will not work if you don't give them a gift!
The child sneered, since he dared to provoke him, he must have the awareness to bear the consequences!In the darkness, the boy's handsome face became more and more distorted, as ferocious as the protruding rocks on the cave wall.
Tom had indeed disguised himself very well. No one noticed how much that sentence hurt him, no one saw how angry he was, and no one imagined what kind of consequences it would cause.
Harry...don't want him anymore.As long as you think about this possibility for a moment, the extreme dormant in the blood is like bacteria multiplying, and there is only one thought that occupies the brain and thoughts-to shut him up, so that he will never be able to say that sentence!
The two boys who inadvertently touched the Demon King Nilin just trembled and looked around, not taking any precautions against the child walking in front, which doomed their fate.
The narrow corridor gradually came to an end, but the gloomy environment did not suddenly become clear, and an ominous atmosphere began to spread, but for Tom, it was a feast.
"Riddle...can we not go in?" The boy swallowed, his legs began to tremble.
Tom glanced at them lazily, no longer pretending, and sneered in the pure darkness. Almost immediately, an irresistible force carried them towards the end of the corridor.
"Ah!" The boys were defenseless, they could only thump in the air, and in the next second, they were surrounded by bone-chilling liquid.
It turns out that at the end of the corridor, there is a sea area naturally shielded by cliffs.
"Damn Riddle!" the boys cursed, knowing it was Tom's revenge.They wiped the water stains from their faces and struggled to climb to the bank.However, Tom's anger can be appeased by this little punishment?
Suddenly, the coldness wrapped around the legs made the two of them stop their movements, and the spine-chilling touch carried an irresistible yin energy.The two turned their heads stiffly, but they met the two eye sockets that had been corroded and had their eyeballs removed.
"It's really...indescribably wonderful..." Tom, who gradually stepped out of the tunnel, could no longer restrain the ecstasy in his heart.His dark, intense eyes radiated an almost physical light.
He was also overjoyed to know that Harry was the same as him, for the bond between Harry and him.And now, he exults in finding another form of his origin.Harry was too bright. Out of some concerns, he never used powerful magic in front of the young Tom, so when the existence that symbolized another extreme appeared, it would give Tom such a big impact.
"Ah! Help, help!" the boys screamed, twitching their limp feet.The stench of the corpse could not dissipate from the tip of the nose, and the sticky corpse liquid could drive people crazy. The boys' hearts were almost overloaded, and it seemed as if the blood vessels would burst in just one second!
Unable to bear it, they finally fainted, and the corpses gradually climbed up their bodies, and their lives were gradually extinguished.
Tom watched calmly the whole time.He grinned, showing a rather bright smile, and released his magic power.
Can't let these two guys die, he... is afraid of trouble.
Zhang's teacher found the missing three people on the other side of the beach.
Two of the children were drenched and had an unpleasant stench, and the other was the most seriously injured, with a large gash on his arm, and was unconscious.I asked the two children what was going on, but the language was broken, and I couldn't understand the reason after listening for a long time.
What kind of corpse crawled out of the sea, the brain is broken, right?
☆, September 1935, 12
In 1935, London had completely stepped into winter from autumn, marching towards the cold winter with pride.The snowflakes drifted past Christmas Eve, Christmas, and then the last day of 1932, Tom's birthday.
"Tom, where are you going?" The simple and honest nanny came out of the kitchen timidly, looking at the child who had just opened the door.This child is very polite and well-behaved, and he can be regarded as the most worry-free among the many children under the care of the nanny, but she is afraid of those expressions that he inadvertently shows, which are also incomprehensible to her.
"Today is your birthday, Mr. Potter told me..."
Tom stood by the door, and the chilly wind outside the door was mixed with flying snowflakes, which occasionally stuck to his neck, making people shiver with cold.But as if he didn't feel the cold, he stood upright.
"I...go to my classmate's house." Tom was silent for a while, then suddenly bared his teeth and smiled.
classmate?Which classmate dares to take him home?
"But……"
"I'm going to a classmate's house for my birthday." Tom replied irresistibly.
The sky is not completely clear yet, the cold wind pours in from the neckline, the snow particles squeak under the stripes of the soles of the shoes, and all the exhaled breath turns into self-fog, blinding the sight.
Tom pulled his cuffs, and the smile he had just shown in front of the nanny turned expressionless.
Birthday?Children never think of it as a day to celebrate.On his birthday, his cowardly and useless mother died sadly, not even willing to save an extra day for him.What is there to celebrate on a day like this?
But Harry didn't think so.On the last day of every year, he insisted on celebrating Tom's birthday, and even ordered a birthday cake.The child hated the sweet and greasy cream, and even more hated the sticky chocolate, but for the first time, he ate two pieces under Harry's smiling gaze.
Harry loved celebrating his birthday, or any festive occasion.He can always climb up and down to arrange the house, smiling with crooked eyebrows and blushing cheeks, enjoying it.
Harry would always kiss his forehead, smile and say, "Thank you for being born."
Tom knew it was just an ordinary birthday prayer, but it would give him the feeling that... Harry was really glad that he existed.
But he knew it wasn't.
Harry would not be happy about his existence, much less sad about his disappearance.The reason why Harry stayed here was just to pity him or feel that it was a duty.When he's an adult or on his own, Harry won't hesitate to leave, just like this time.
The child's face distorted for a moment, and a trace of gloom overflowed from his sharp eyes.He quickened his pace, suppressing his desire to kill.
In Harry's absence, birthdays were dull.
He circled the path with ease, and arrived at the deserted beach again.
The winter morning came very late, and when he arrived, the subtle winter sun had just risen from the other side of the sea, lighting up a sea area with flickering lights and shadows, and even the dark cave had seen a ray of light seep into it.Seeing that cave, the child smiled faintly.
"Come on, we're here." Tom patted his cuffs, his lips parted and let out a soft air flow.Then, a blue-black snake as thick as an iron pestle came out of the cuff, and crawled up the child's shoulder with its core.
"Let's go!" The snake writhed excitedly.It likes the smell, the smell of resentment, corrupted by darkness.Tom sure likes it too!
The snake was not as big as Tom, and it was only born for four years, but the memory inheritance from the gene made it understand magic better than Tom, and also understood this magical product-the infernal corpse.
"Naturally formed ghosts are, very, very..." Even though the knowledge is sufficient, the snake that lacks the ability to express cannot find any words to describe it, so it bites its own tail anxiously.
Tom stepped into the cave, as leisurely as in his own garden.Listening to the snake's intermittent expression, he could vaguely guess half of it.
"Unforgettable?" Tom raised his eyebrows.
"Ah? What does this mean?" The snake's small head really has limited storage, and the snake vomited out its core incomprehensibly, bypassing this topic and continuing: "Infernal corpses are usually made by magic, but if they are special environment, the dead will be transformed into ghosts.”
Made it?The child grasped the word keenly and licked his lips with interest.
"Because it is formed naturally, there are very few infernal corpses here, and they are not powerful at all." The snake complained unhappily.
Listening to the snake's complaint, Tom licked his lips again, his dark eyes shone with excitement, but his tone remained flat: "Amazing... how powerful can it be?"
The snake began to struggle again.The memory from the gene is vague, and it only knows a general idea.
"Well... if you encounter something powerful, those two people will not be able to save them last time, and they will all turn into ghost corpses." The snake flicked its tail.
Tom nodded and said nothing more.
It can be made, powerful, and can automatically multiply... This is really a good pet.The light flickering in his eyes was hidden in the darkness, making it unreal.
They approached the divided body of water in the cave.The water surface is very calm, even if it is connected to the sea, the tide of the sea cannot push in through the barrier of the cliff. It is this dead and dark environment that allows the dead explorers to transform into corpses step by step.
There is no wrinkle on the black water, smooth and calm like black marble.But as soon as a person steps into the water, he will be dragged into the water by the creatures lurking under the water, and he will never come out.Unknown equals danger.
Tom stood on the shore covered with stones, and the stones under his feet were all undeveloped and extremely pure crystal rough stones.Such an environment can breed yin corpses, and naturally the stones can be bred into more precious rough stones.But Tom took no interest in what lay beneath his feet.
"Tom, look there, there is a small island there!" The snake's vision is much sharper than that of a human, let alone a magical snake species.
The child squinted his eyes, and as expected, at the boundary where the sea water meets the horizon, a small island abruptly broke the original straight line connecting the sea and the sky.
An isolated island, an isolated island completely isolated from the outside world.
Tom narrowed his narrow dark eyes, and a thought popped into his mind.
— very suitable for... confinement.
Building a solitary tower on the island can almost cut off all contact with the outside world, imprisoning and imprisoning the creatures in the solitary tower, just like the fairy tale "Rapunzel" Harry told him, they can only be controlled by him. He asks.
Tom pursed his lips eagerly, but cautiously restrained his thoughts.At least, he doesn't have that power right now...
"Then... how can I create an Inferi?" Tom lowered his eyes, his voice became softer, more bewitching, and more dangerous, "Create more, more powerful... Inferi."
The snake froze.It touched its small head with its pointed tail, tilted its head and said honestly: "I don't know. But if you want to increase the number of infernal corpses, you only need to let them drag the living people down."
Drag the living... down.Tom murmured the words softly, so slowly and clearly that he seemed to be pondering each word.
The child tapped the stone under his feet and turned around calmly, but the words that came out of his mouth made people shudder: "After all...there are too many stupid and incompetent people in London."
Since the financial crisis in 1929, the black market has surpassed the stock exchange to become the most lively place.
The black market is not like securities with all kinds of rules. In this place where even the law has no binding effect, power and money are the rules.A bigger reason why people love the black market is that there is no need to explain where things come from, let alone care about where things go and what they are used for.
After the transaction, the goods and goods are settled.
But there are also exceptions, those who want to know the origin of the goods and make a fortune.
"Little friend, tell Uncle, where did this stone come from?" The vendor tried his best to soften his expression, trying to make himself look more believable, but the impromptu disguise could not hide the greedy light in his eyes.
Tom sneered in his heart, but on the surface he looked ignorant and looked up at the vendor: "In a cave, there are many, many such stones."
"Can you take uncle? Uncle will give you a lot of money."
The child smiled happily and looked at the vendor expectantly, clutching the shillings that had just been returned with stones: "More than these?"
The vendor played with the rough crystal stone in his hand, wiped off the stone skin to reveal a small piece of clear crystal texture, and could even see the beautiful golden wire shape inside it with light.
It's titanium crystal!
Titanium crystal, known as the best crystal, naturally arouses the desire of traders for money.If he could find titanite, would he still be working hard on the black market from dawn to dusk, and would he care about those few pound shillings?
"Of course." The vendor replied readily, "As long as you take me there."
The child showed a satisfied smile, innocently urging the vendor to leave quickly.
The vendor narrowed his eyes and nodded ecstatically: "Okay, I'll ask some people to go with me." Call more people and bring back more rough stones.
Of course Tom wouldn't mind.
Soon, the vendor summoned a team of six confidantes, brought identification instruments, and while avoiding the eyes and ears of other vendors, drove into the truck and set off.
Calmly.Of course, he couldn't let others know where the cornucopia was.
Tom sat in the passenger seat with a reserved expression, careful not to touch the leather cushion on the car seat.Cars are a luxury even in the 21st century, let alone 1935.
"Hahahaha..." The merchant laughed loudly, becoming more and more sure that this was just a child from a poor family.Thinking of the future filled with titanium crystals and money, he couldn't help laughing, and even the five people sitting behind were also smiling.
Tom pretends to be the 'prissy poor boy', but smiles darkly beneath the mask.
The reason why he likes the black market is because people in the black market can never satisfy their desires.The more unsatisfactory he is, the more beneficial he is.
Oh, he can't wait to see them panicking and turning into Inferi...
The venomous snake hides in the dark, showing its coldly shining teeth to its prey.
"I picked up this stone in the water. There are many more in it." The child simply pointed to the water, interrupting their eager eyes on the crystal on the shore.
The merchants immediately woke up.Although the quality of the rough stone on the shore is good, it is not as good as the titanium crystal picked up by the child. It seems that the big head is hidden in the water.
The six nodded, carried the detectors on their backs, and plunged into the water.
The water was stirred up layer by layer, and there was a sound of water, and at the same time, it also doomed the fate of these six people.
……
The fight finally stopped with the defeat of the humans.The water surface gradually calmed down, and the six lives disappeared under the dark and cold sea water. Under the gestation of the environment, they gradually transformed into ghost corpses.
Not enough, not enough, not enough!
The child purses his lips.He stood on the shore, staring at the abrupt island in the distance, his thin figure was hidden in the darkness, like a larva wrapped in a cocoon, gestating something.
He suddenly showed another smile, especially permeating in the darkness.
Without Harry's birthday present, the six infernal corpses could barely be counted as presents.
"Tom, what about that truck?" Snake asked boredly, lying on the child's shoulder.
Tom narrowed his eyes: "The sea can swallow everything."
☆, September 1936, 1
The Christmas holiday passed amid the children's hilarity. Even if they were reluctant, the children had no choice but to restrain their nature and go back to school with their schoolbags on their backs.
The beginning of the new year is always full of hope, no matter how cold the weather is, it will never make the smiles on the children's faces lessen a little bit.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, Tom still plays the image of a good student who is loved by the teacher, the nanny is still dedicated to taking care of the children's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Harry... still hasn't come back.
On January [-]th, Harry had been away for three months and nineteen days, and it was only one month and eleven days before the May period.
The thin and beautiful child picked up his schoolbag without saying a word, hung it on his shoulders, and walked out of the classroom with an indifferent expression.
"Tom, I'll go home with you!" Ellie raised her voice, lest he could not hear.A girl of this age, with a flushed face and big eyes, is still very likable when she is not acting like a princess.
It just doesn't seem to work that well with Tom.
The beautiful and tall child was just walking forward with his schoolbag on his back. The straps of the schoolbag were almost drooping to the ground, but he still didn’t feel it. His arrogance made him stand out.
It is completely different from the usual gentle, polite and considerate expression.
Ellie was in a hurry, and randomly stuffed the doll hairpins on the table into her schoolbag. Before she could even pull the zipper of the schoolbag, she rushed out with the schoolbag in her arms. .
"Wait for me, Tom!"
The little girl called, but the child walking in front did not intend to slow down in the slightest.He wasn't walking fast, at least he seemed casual, but the girl could only trot.
Ellie finally catches up with Tom.The little girl gasped heavily, and grabbed Tom's docile clothes with her hands.The little girl's family is good, and she can be regarded as the richest man in this not-too-rich town, so she naturally has some pampered arrogance.
"Tom, can I go to your house to play?" The girl excitedly tugged at the boy's hem, although she asked, she didn't mean to refuse.
Even though there is something to say about a girl who is a little bit petite and cute, but for Tom, who is already in a bad mood, it is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
"Let go." The words were concise and to the point, without ups and downs.
"Tom, I want to eat the cherry sauce from last time!" Ellie was still chattering, probably because Tom's pretended gentleness and kindness gave her confidence.
The child clicked his tongue impatiently, and waved away the hand holding his skirt.
"Go away." The voice seemed to overflow from an ice cellar, sending chills down the spine.
Tom squinted his eyes threateningly, and the gloomy and cold face was completely presented in front of the girl's eyes for the first time, making the girl take a step back involuntarily.
Masquerading as a harmless sheep, the pup finally bared his fangs for the first time in front of others.Seeing the girl's pale face instantly, the child sneered disdainfully, and his inexplicable pleasure made him purse his lips comfortably.He no longer cared if his disguise would be punctured.In the end, his disguise was just to win Harry's sympathy, and Harry was not around, so there was no need to pretend.
Tom is just a child after all, and he willfully vents his inner anxiety, restlessness and resentment in this way.
"Soup, Tom..." the girl said.
The child sneered, turned his head and continued walking, and stingily stopped giving the girl a look.
Ellie hesitated for a while, but she still didn't give up, but Tom's eyes still made her feel lingering.The boy's tall and thin figure had already started to walk away, but the girl stamped her feet, gritted her teeth, and chased after him.It's just that this time he followed carefully and didn't speak again, let alone stepping forward to pull Tom's clothes.
Ellie was still puzzled, why did Tom become so scary all of a sudden?
Step by step, the house is getting closer.Tom strode towards the house, approaching mechanically without any emotional ups and downs, as if he had completed a task.
Ellie followed behind Tom, looking curiously at the extraordinarily majestic house, clicking her tongue.Although I knew that Tom's family was not bad, I didn't expect it to come to this point.It has to be said that although sometimes unreliable, the abilities of the Weasley brothers should not be underestimated.
Tom pushed aside the iron fence that surrounded the outside to his chest height, and walked in without paying any attention to the girl following behind.The girl hesitated for a while, and her strong curiosity forced her to step out of a place that no other girl in the class had ever set foot on.
She gently pushed the fence, carefully observed the reaction of the boy in front, and seeing that he had no objection, she walked into the small garden with peace of mind.
At this time, Tom didn't care about reacting to Ellie behind him, his eyes were only fixed on the pair of irregularly placed shoes at the door.
Harry has never liked wearing leather shoes, he seems to be more keen on comfortable sneakers.
The pair of shoes at the door were as white as when they left, but the sides of the shoes were stained with some grass roots. Tom could even imagine how the man stepped on the lawn in front of the garden, took off his shoes and stepped into the house.
Even his breathing became rapid involuntarily, and the amplitude of nerve fluctuations began to increase gradually. He could even hear the sound of accelerated blood flow in his ears. Adrenaline quickly spread throughout his body with the accelerated blood, and even made his sweat glands start to work. , The child suddenly felt a dry throat.
Is...he is back?
The child tried to calm his breath, even his chest heaved uncontrollably, but he couldn't restrain his steps. He didn't even take off his shoes, and he didn't care about Ellie who was stunned behind him. He walked into the living room and stepped up the stairs.
The girl stared wide-eyed as she watched the boy go upstairs quickly. His tense expression, uncontrollably accelerated pace, and unsteady footsteps all told Ellie that he was very nervous.Ellie has never seen Tom's expression fluctuate too much. In her impression, Tom's expression seems to have only one, a good-natured smile.The ferocious and cold expression just now flashed in her mind like a hallucination, and she immediately rejected it.
The girl stood at the door, not knowing whether to retreat or enter.
Tom stood at the door of Harry's room again.The door to the room was closed, as it had been during the three months Harry had been away.
The child stood at the door, but suddenly hesitated.Tom Riddle, who has always been fearless, arrogant and wanton, hesitated.He pursed his lips tightly, starting to get scared.Three months ago, he was also like this. He stood at the door of Harry's room and pushed the door open, but the room was filled with disappointment.
The boy with deep eyes stood in front of the door for a long time, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.
The door was gently pushed open, and there was a dissatisfied cry when the door shaft "squeaked--".
The room was quiet, it seemed no different from when Tom left, even the position of the teacup on the bedside table had not moved, and the fine dust scattered by the door had never been raised.In the room, it was cold.Even though the sunlight poured down into the room mercilessly through the window bars, the child still felt the coolness gathered around him, enveloping him like a haze.
The child stood at the door with the shoes he hadn't taken off still on his feet. The wet weather outside the house along his path left a brown footprint.Tom's dark eyes were gloomy, and the light hidden in the pupils was also soaked by something, and he couldn't see it at all.The child pursed his lips tightly, suppressing the disappointment in his heart like surging waves.
Tom suddenly felt disgusted with himself for having such emotional ups and downs because of one person.He suddenly found the hurried footprints on the stairs so glaring, and laughed at him for being a fool, played by a prank called "Harry Potter".The boy's handsome face suddenly twisted.
"Tom? There's a girl down there, is that your classmate?"
The sound made Tom look up suddenly, and the reflection of the man reflected in the pure black pupils was extremely clear.
The child's hand was still resting on the door frame, and the whole person was like a wax figure solidified by resin.
"What's wrong? You don't know me anymore?"
Tom just felt a tightness in his throat.
The young man stood by the stairs, his face was as pale as ever, and his eyes were as bright as ever.
The young man approached Tom, gestured to the top of his head, and said dumbfounded, "Oh my God, it's only been three or four months, and you've grown taller again?"
Tom did grow very fast. After getting enough nutrition, he grew wildly like a willow that had been full of rain and dew. Standing in front of Harry, it almost reached Harry's chest.
Looking at the child with deep eyes, Harry couldn't help but rubbed the child's hair, and his chuckle was unconsciously filled with pride and pride.
The child stared fixedly at the buttons on Harry's windbreaker, and for a moment didn't know what to say.The hand stroking his hair touched his forehead from time to time, and the cold skin made him shiver involuntarily.Tom felt that he must be controlled by something invisible. His always shrewd head was completely muddled. He couldn't restrain himself and instinctively stretched out his arms, wrapping them around the young man's thin waist.
Harry hadn't taken off his windbreaker yet, and he was still feeling cold, but the child refused to let go of his arms.
Harry didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his eyes couldn't help softening.It wasn't their first hug, but it was the first one the kid asked him for.This child has always been emotionally restrained, and he hardly shows his anger and happiness. It is rare for him to take the initiative to open his arms to him.I haven't seen him for three or four months, no matter how calm the child is, he still panics, right?
Harry sighed softly, bowed slightly, and hugged Tom back.
"Stop being coquettish, your classmate is still down there." Harry let go of his hand, and helped the child straighten the somewhat messy hair.
Tom withdrew from Harry's arms sullenly, his expression not very good-looking.
behave in a spoiled manner?Tom didn't like that word much.
Ellie stood at the door poking her head, curious about the young man who had just come out of the kitchen.
He... is Tom's adoptive father?
Very young, just like my brother.The little girl liked the gentle smile of the talented young man, and was even more curious about Tom's home.
"Come in." Then Tom suddenly appeared on the stairs, smiling at her.At this time, Tom was a polite and good student in that school again.
Ellie completely forgot about Tom's sinister and vicious contrast, jumped three feet high, happily put on her slippers, and stepped into Tom and Harry's house.
"I'll get you some tea." The tall and beautiful child smiled and beckoned to the girl, with a gentle attitude, his normally dark eyes were also tinted a little brighter, and the corners of his raised mouth all showed his master's good mood.At this time, the girl was at the age when she was in the midst of love fantasies, and she didn't realize that she was a little imaginative, Prince Charming, MrRright, all kinds of names popped up all of a sudden, which made the girl's face a little hot.
Harry asked Ellie to sit down on the sofa, his cheeks were flushed, he couldn't help raising his brows itchingly, and teased a few times: "Is my Tom handsome?"
The girl coyed for a while, her voice was not much louder than a mosquito: "Handsome."
Harry couldn't help chuckling, and the sweet whisper made Ellie's face blush a little more.Harry felt that his chest was filled instantly, and he was a little addicted to the joy of his child being praised.
Tom, at least, had changed a little.He will open his arms to him, he will take his classmates home to play, he will attract the attention of little girls...
With these changes, Harry would probably wake up laughing when he fell asleep.
Tom always hides well, presenting all the light in front of Harry's eyes, covering up the darkness with light.
Harry was lying on the bed, no matter how soft and warm the bedding under him was, it couldn't lure him into a dream.The pain in his body forced him to curl up, and his face turned pale again.He turned over, sighed, endured the pain and closed his eyes, but still smiled at the corners of his mouth.He felt it was worth the pain.
And Tom was also lying on the bed, also unable to fall asleep.
"I think...our infernal cultivation must slow down..."
☆, September 1936, 3
Ellie became a frequent visitor to house No.15 on London Street, and the nameplate of house No.15 was engraved with cursive characters: Harry Potter.
As for why, it was naturally because of Tom.Once again the kid finds a shortcut to his ultimate goal - through the girl Ellie.
The child was keenly aware that every time he brought Ellie home, it was Harry who was the happiest.
Harry liked that girl very much.Tom watched coldly, watching the young man happily buy cakes and desserts, suppressing a trace of boredom in his chest, and showing an interested and decent smile.
"Tom? Where have you been today?" Harry frowned slightly, looking at Tom who was taking off his scarf at the door.
The child raised his head and looked calmly into the young man's eyes. His clear eyes made it impossible to doubt.The child rubbed the snake's cold skin through his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Today Ellie said she wanted me to go to her house to play."
Harry's expression eased a little: "Have you eaten yet? The meal is ready."
"I'm just hungry, Harry." The pretty child grinned, and threw the scarf, which was stained with a cold smell, into the laundry basket, and inadvertently wiped off the lime from the cave on the corner of the clothes.
Even at the age of seven, he already knew how to use all available resources at hand.
The girl immersed in the fantasy of princes and princesses is completely immersed in the gentleness and smile of the boy, completely unaware that she is just a tool and an excuse.
"Tom, I will marry you when I grow up!" the girl said innocently.
The boy and girl carrying schoolbags and walking on the road together under the setting sun are innocent and innocent. In Xu Jun's life, childhood sweethearts and bamboo horses are probably the most perfect fairy tales.
"You haven't grown up yet."
"Then I will grow up quickly!"
The child with black hair and black eyes had dark eyes, but his face was full of smiles.
Tom is precocious, he has a deeper understanding of what marriage is than children of the same age, and he hates "marriage" even more.When he was in the orphanage, that fat woman, Fernie, described his mother to him almost viciously: "A person is pregnant and has no husband to take care of her. People abandoned it."
He didn't pity the woman who gave birth to him, on the contrary, he hated her cowardice.Such a humble, stupid and incompetent person who lived because of a marriage!
He doesn't need marriage, compared to the bondage of a marriage contract, strength is the most effective way to get everything!
In March and April in early spring, the alcohol column in the thermometer hovered around 10°C, and the cold cave was freezing cold.The cave was extremely quiet, and even the low sound of water drops could be heard clearly.
The snake lay on the child's shoulder, its tail swam slightly.
"These... are not enough." The hissing sound from the child's mouth was like snake skin running over his feet, making one's hair stand on end.
The snake raised its tail, widened its eyes, and saw the densely flickering creatures in the lake, murmured unconsciously: "I think there are quite a lot."
"In terms of strength, it is far from enough. I need a stronger ghost."
The snake finally understood, it flicked its tail, with a look of no need to worry: "This place is very suitable for infernal corpses, as long as they are here
