Dementors of the Blakes

Since Professor Riddle was really uncomfortable staying aside, Sirius and the others did not turn into Animagus again, but quickly left the Forbidden Forest in batches.

Riddle didn't care either, and stood alone for a while.

After a long time, he smiled and pretended to casually look towards a direction on the other side of the Forbidden Forest, obviously he had spotted An Qi who was peeking in the dark.

However, he didn't expose the little girl Stoke, just shook his head and left on his own.

Perhaps because of Professor Riddle's encouragement, Peter's enthusiasm for learning Animagus became more serious in the following days.

Besides, he also began to quietly distract Professor Riddle.

This is the first professor who "identifies" with him, even Professor McGonagall and Headmaster Dumbledore have never believed him in this way.

He was inevitably a little curious.

Professor Tom Riddle is an absolutely excellent Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, not only Slytherin and Ravenclaw like him, even James, who has always hated the dark arts, has to frown and reluctantly agree with Professor Riddle The lessons are very lively and interesting, and easy to understand.

It can not only satisfy the little eagle's thirst for knowledge, but also make the little badgers understand, and also win the respect of the little snakes, and appease the riots of the little lions, which is not something ordinary people can do.

But besides teaching, what is Professor Riddle like in his daily life?

This is little known.

Although he is a very kind teacher on the surface, with a faint smile all the time, but there is a vague sense of alienation, as if he is not in the same world.

And most of the time, he doesn't seem to be in the school, he doesn't see the end, he looks very enthusiastic during class, and answers every question, but in fact, after class, he turns back to a distant look, and he is very distant from the students. There is very little communication between them.

Such a mysterious teacher, in view of Professor Riddle's performance all the time, some of the students nicknamed him "Mysterious Man".

Professor Riddle seems to dislike this nickname very much. When he heard it for the first time, it is said that he even twitched his smiling face, seeming very depressed.

All in all, this is a person who is gentle on the outside and cold on the inside.

However, even though the facts are in front of them, many people still firmly believe that Professor Riddle should be a gentle professor from the inside out, but a little too shy and withdrawn.

The best proof is that he seems to really like furry animals.

He keeps a lot of small pets, and he often brings them to class in his arms. Sometimes they are rabbits, sometimes minks, and sometimes cats. They are almost never repeated. As a professor, obviously, he did not abide by every rule. Only one pet is allowed.

How could such a caring person be indifferent?

He must have a keen and fragile heart...

In fact, only Riddle himself fully knows his own essence.

In his last life, he was a duplicity person, he was a successful man with outstanding abilities, confidence and chic, but in essence, he was a guy who liked to watch anime, collect hand-made goods, and drool over soft girls Authentic otaku.

Except for work, he basically never goes out. He likes virtual characters better than real people.

Because of past experiences, he doesn't trust anything alive, and in fact, no one.

So...he also really, really likes animals, especially the small, furry ones.

All in all, it's his little-known hobby.

Soon, probably because Merlin saw that Peter had really worked hard recently, he finally had a dream about his own Animagus form. Although it was a bit vague, he was able to confirm that his Animagus Bose is a tiny, furry critter too.

As for what it is, he still doesn't know.

Although I am very happy that Peter's Animagus finally has an outline, since the other people only succeeded after dreaming for a long time, everyone didn't take this matter to heart immediately, thinking about waiting for the real transformation. The timing was at least until the end of the semester, so I didn't pay special attention to Peter.

But who knows, maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe it's because of Peter's sudden enlightenment.

Inadvertently, alone, he performed the transformation in the Forbidden Forest.

He turned into a squirrel.

He was also stunned, his first thought was to tell his friends, but then he thought about it, he sneaked out to test the Animagus by himself, without saying hello to anyone, if he found out, he would definitely be scolded, in his heart I can't help feeling a little apprehensive.

God knows... He just had a feeling all of a sudden, but he was afraid that he would be ridiculed if he didn't get anything, so he acted alone, but he really didn't expect to succeed so easily.

So, a little squirrel lay down on the branch of the tree depressedly, drooping its big fluffy tail, not knowing what to do.

This is what Riddle inadvertently saw.

Of course, he only saw the squirrel, but he didn't see the scene where Peter turned into a squirrel, so he thought it was just an ordinary squirrel.

so...so cute...

Riddle tried his best to maintain his usual elegant image, but the starry eyes that flashed in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.

Look at that fur, that size, and those watery squirrel eyes!

He suddenly had an evil thought, waved his wand, caught the squirrel and stuffed it into his arms, trying to abduct one of the shared property in the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest: a squirrel.

... It's obviously not the first time he's done something like this.

Peter didn't know how things had come to this point.

He was carefully wrapped in the robe by Professor Riddle, and gently pressed on his chest. When he came back to his senses, he found that he seemed to have arrived in the professor's office.

Riddle put him on the coffee table, took the cream biscuits from the small plate, smashed them and handed them to him.

The way he looked at it was so gentle and pampering, something Peter had never gotten from anyone else.

His heart suddenly felt sour, and he didn't care whether the squirrel ate the biscuit or not, he stretched out his little paw and held a small piece, grinding his teeth and gnawing on it.

Maybe it's because he gnawed on the biscuits too eagerly.

Professor Riddle seemed to think that the squirrel was very hungry, so he called the house elf with a smile, and ordered a large basin of almonds and pine cones, plus a plate of milk, and handed them all to the little squirrel.

He watched the little squirrel eat and eat, his eyes full of unexplained love.

Peter couldn't eat any more, so he lay down on the coffee table with his swollen belly. Riddle poked it twice, and he moved a little, feeling indescribably comfortable.

He felt more and more that Professor Riddle, who is so gentle with animals, is a good person, but...if he let the professor know that this cute squirrel was transformed by him, maybe...wouldn't be so kind to him anymore, right?

Thinking of this, the squirrel suddenly became more depressed.

Before Peter could finish mourning, Riddle picked up the squirrel again with a smile, and walked towards the bedroom.

Ahhhh, after feeding, are you going to hold your cute pet and put it on the bedside to rest together?

Peter didn't think there was anything wrong with pretending to be a cute pet. He turned over decisively in Riddle's palm, and rubbed his soft fur against his palm.

For the first time, he felt that being a squirrel might be a happier thing.

He liked Professor Riddle, very much.

Riddle finally stepped into his own bedroom, but it was dark, the curtains were drawn tightly, and there was no light at all.

Instead of opening the curtains, he waved his wand and lit the candlesticks in the room with green magic fire.

The gloomy green light illuminated the whole room brightly and darkly. Everything on the cabinet, on the bedside table, and on the wall was displayed in front of Peter's eyes.

Peter once imagined how bright and warm Professor Riddle's private room should be, with a kitten lying on the quilt, a puppy lying on the floor, and maybe a birdcage on the shelf.

But now... There is indeed a kitten on the quilt, but the eyes are strange crystal beads. If it is just a doll, it will be fine, but it looks like it should be a living specimen.

There is indeed something lying on the ground, it seems to be a white tiger, as for why the word "like" is used... that is because... there is only tiger skin.

As for the shelves, there are indeed animals. There are many animals. Unfortunately, they are all genuine specimens.

The weird fake eyeballs of those stuffed animals gleamed eeriely under the reflection of the hotel.

Tom Riddle, he's a total taxidermy enthusiast.

In fact, it is similar to the hobby of making butterfly bookmarks, except that he prefers small animals, that's all.

Peter was dumbfounded.

Suddenly, he suddenly understood those details.

For example, why Professor Riddle's pets never repeat.

For example... Riddle looked at him in front of him, he was actually imagining the scene of disembowelling him and removing his internal organs, and his beautiful smile was actually looking forward to the scene of obtaining a new specimen.

For another example, those delicious biscuits, almonds, etc., may be a decapitated meal in a sense.

It is true that he likes animals, but he likes the dead better than the living.
