Mentor and Friends

sighed contentedly.

He knew he shouldn't, Harry might just be frightened by him, as long as he reacted, Harry would be annoyed, scold him, and how he would react, Tom felt that he could no longer care about it.

He needed one time to prove that Harry was by his side, not as indifferent as he was in the Forbidden Forest that day, nor as cold as the Boggart he saw before.

He needed to prove once that Harry was by his side as always, with a faint smile and gentle breath, which made him addicted to it and couldn't help himself.

"Tom..." Harry, who was a little slow to react, finally pushed him away, and then Tom tightly circled Harry, not letting him move.

"Harry..." He buried him in Harry's shoulder, whispering softly.

Harry gasped in fright at this ambiguous gesture: "Damn it, what's wrong with you, Tom."

If it weren't for the fact that no one could come in here during the game, he would almost have thought it was Ron's prank... Bah, Merlin's stinky socks, even if Ron wanted to make fun of him, he wouldn't use it this way .

"Harry..." The fear of losing once made the child lose control. Once the calm person broke out, it would be frighteningly persistent. He tightly circled Harry. At this moment, what? Competitions, scores, and even trophies are all forgotten by him.

All he needed was Harry by his side.

"Tom, what's the matter with you." Harry couldn't break free, and couldn't pull out his wand, "Are you possessed or something."

"Can't you see, Harry," he whispered in Harry's ear, "I don't want you to leave me, I'm afraid you'll leave me, Harry... I must be crazy, but if you make me crazy The reason is your words, I would rather never wake up."

"Tom, you're out of your mind..."

"No, I'm awake." Tom left Harry's neck, stared at Harry, and took Harry's hand towards his chest, "It's been stuck in my throat since you left After that, it kept jumping out of my throat, and sometimes I even felt that it would get stuck in my throat and suffocate me, Harry, I can't live without you, you know, I can't live without you gone."

Harry stared blankly at Tom's almost crazy behavior. The weather was already cold, but the place within his reach was scorching his face.

He didn't know how to face Tom at all.

Just those few words made Harry's head a lake, and the thoughts that had no effect in the love area completely abandoned Harry. He could only stand there in a daze, listening to the young man's cool and sincere confession.

He said, Harry, I can't live without you, you know?

He said, Harry, I like you, you know that?

He said, Harry, I've gone mad you know, I've gone mad since I found my mind.

He said, Harry, you're driving me crazy.

"Tom..." Harry left with dry lips. He felt that it was difficult for him to speak, as if someone had grabbed his throat tightly, and at the same time that he was starved of oxygen, there were bursts of pain in his throat, and then he lost However, he managed to manage the words, "You are still young..."

"Oh..." Tom looked at him amusedly, "Harry, I'm 17 years old, I'm an adult."

"I mean, you're still young, you can't tell since from anything else, you're just... so lonely."

Tom's eyes clouded slightly.

All along, the one who can see through him is not Dumbledore who pretends to understand him, nor Slughorn who thinks he understands him. The former is doing things that disgust him with a wise appearance, while the latter Just treat him as a collectible.

Ha, yes, the young and promising chief of Slytherin House, the male chairman of Hogwarts' student council, and the only descendant of Slytherin, is elegant, charming, and extremely intelligent. There is no reason for such a person to be mixed up in the future. What about the wizarding world?

Slughorn had already seen his infinite future - even if he couldn't guess the limit - and therefore favored him in every way.

Harry was the only one who could see everything about him.

He is lonely, he is alone, no matter what he does, he can only grit his teeth and do it by himself. Only Harry can see what is behind those glory.

Only Harry can enter his world.

"Harry..." He looked into Harry's eyes, those charming green eyes were shining with a moving brilliance even because the master was in a state of unsteadiness at this time, Tom looked at Harry, and said word by word, " I won't react when I see Slughorn counseling Roy, but I can't see you getting close to Irene." In other words, he has already included Harry in his own world, and he can't allow him to get close to others.

It's a pity that he doesn't have that ability at this time. Although Harry looks gentle, not many people know how much magic power is hidden in Harry. Tom knows that he must continue to become stronger until no one in this world can match him. He fought until... he could take Harry under his wing.

Listening to Tom's almost explicit words, Harry bit his lower lip and didn't know what to say.

He didn't know how to react for a long time.

"I don't want you to leave me, Harry."

In his impression, Slytherins are a group of fools, they have a lot of ideas in their heads, but they never say it outright, they can use various words to insinuate a purpose, and let you react by yourself.

It should be the first time he heard Tom speak like this.

Straightforward, simple, yet disturbing.

"Tom, I'm your professor." At this moment, Harry hadn't found out yet, he could only find various reasons to make Tom give up on "loving him", but he didn't directly and bluntly reject his liking.

"I'm graduating in June," Tom said simply, "and then you won't be my professor, or I could apply to teach at Hogwarts and you'd be my colleague instead of professor."

"you……"

Harry didn't know whether he wanted to scold him or Merlin. If Tom wanted to enter Hogwarts now, Dumbledore would never refuse!

"Harry, why are you angry?" Tom looked at him. "Don't you hate me?"

"I'm not... just... this shouldn't be..." A Potter... a Voldemort... well, if he succeeds in the future, there will be no Voldemort, but it is also a Riddle anyway, between the two of them, what? possible?

"Why shouldn't it?" Tom asked with a smirk. "I'm just in love with you, that's all."

"But I..." Harry gritted his teeth, "but Ron and I don't belong here, we're going home after all." His home is not here, his mother Molly, his Hermione, his comrades-in-arms None here.

One day, he will leave here.

"You'll stay, Harry." Tom kissed him on the cheek. "I'll let you... stay for me." Whether Harry was rejecting him or telling the truth, he didn't want to let it go.

Harry was timid, and he was timid.

If it wasn't for Harry's continuous disappearance for so long, which put him in a state of tension, how could he have the courage to let himself be impulsive when he saw Harry again?

I'm afraid if it wasn't for what happened in the past few months, in this game, he would just feel happy when he saw Harry was his treasure, right?

Those feelings buried deep in his heart, maybe he will wait until he is prominent in the entire wizarding world before revealing them to Harry.

It's just that this time Harry's departure brought him too much sense of crisis.

He was afraid that one day, before he could hit his target, Harry would have disappeared from his own world.

The fear persisted to this day, and when he saw Harry, he finally allowed himself to let it go.

I'll let you stay willingly, Harry.

stay for me...

The author has something to say: It’s rare for Mr. Tom to be impulsive, Emma, ​​we can’t let him always be a saint, can’t we, Xiaoha is about to run away, so he can stay calm ╮(╯▽╰)╭everyone is impulsive Time—in fact, I think there is no time to calm down in the Palace of V——Tom’s cultivation is not enough, and occasionally impulsiveness is also something we like to see happen ╮(╯▽╰)╭

86. The second game ([-])

"Hogwarts is always shining in this competition." Looking at Moody who brought back his "treasure" in less than two hours, Kevin smiled and said to Dumbledore, "The first game was Riddle, the second game was Moody, and it seems that in the third game, others have to work hard to win the championship trophy."

"For the children's competition, I think friendship is more important." Dumbledore smiled lightly and shook his head, "For me, as long as they complete the competition safely, they become champions."

"You're right, Albus." Kevin nodded, "Didn't the beginning of the Triwizard Tournament back then be for the children to gain experience?"

"I hope they will be more mature after this game, oh, Anita is back." He saw someone slowly coming, she was one of Durmstrang's warriors, and her treasure was unexpected It was her own ring.

"I found it." She cried with joy. "When I was in the Forbidden Forest I was afraid I would never find it again."

"It is said that Anita is the first family leader in two centuries who has been appointed by the family without graduating," someone whispered in Dumbledore's ear, "She completely suppressed her two Everyone recognizes her status, and the ring in her hand is said to have been given to her by her father himself."

"No wonder she became a warrior." Dumbledore sighed softly, "It is impossible for the Goblet of Fire not to see a child with such outstanding grades."

"She has a lot of potential for development," the person behind him chuckled, "and she also expressed a deep desire to enter the saints." Dumbledore gave him a squinting warning, and the other party chuckled, No more talking.

"Oh, it's only two and a half hours now, Miss Anita, your early return will definitely get you a lot of points." Kevin looked at her approvingly. He was not the one who arranged the location of the "treasure", but He knew that those "treasures" couldn't be found so easily, otherwise the game would be meaningless. Look at Anita, she has a lot of injuries. It is said that her game prompt is to go to the Forbidden Forest. Now The Forbidden Forest was not the first game where it was protected so airtight that the warriors only needed to find clues in the prescribed places, but now, there was no intervention in where they went.

Even though Anita was injured a little, but she could come back within three hours, just based on this, she could add a lot of points.

At exactly three hours, Beauxbaton's contestant returned with her treasure, leaving only Beauxbaton's Henry Burr and Hogwarts' Tom Riddle.

"What's going on with Tom." Abraxas frowned. "It's been so long since he hasn't come back. Could it be that something happened?"

"Student Riddle is going in the direction of the tower, not the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest. Nothing should happen." Even so, Mulciber still frowned.

"Maybe it's the most difficult to find just because it looks safe." Abraxas sighed softly.

Suddenly he felt that he knew what Tom's treasure was, though the idea sounded alarmist.

"There is still half an hour," Kevin looked at the time, "I guess they will have no points by then."

"He's back." Dumbledore suddenly pointed in a direction.

The jury looked in the direction he pointed, and saw the young man who impressed them very much and a professor who hadn't appeared for many days approaching slowly.

"I hope I haven't exceeded the stipulated time." Tom said politely to Kevin with a perfect smile.

"Of course not, it's still half an hour away." Kevin said enthusiastically, every time a warrior completed a task, he would be extremely happy, "Okay, Mr. Riddle, take your treasure to For the judges, we have to make sure you are not injured or have other conditions before we can give you a score."

"Thank you," said Tom gently.

"Harry." Ron had been waiting for Harry at the judge's side. He was one of the few people who knew that Harry was Tom's treasure. He took it for granted when he was looking at his treasures.

He felt that Tom Riddle, a person who had no family and used his status to those around him, his only treasure was his current diary, but Ron thought that if they competed, they would not be able to successfully steal Tom's diary , and even he felt that no one should know that Tom had a Horcrux.

Under such circumstances, Tom Riddle's treasure can only be Harry.

He usually gets so close to Harry, and Harry has helped him so much, and he thinks that Harry and Tom Riddle should be regarded as friends, so Harry is Tom Riddle's treasure It shouldn't be a surprise - poor Ron, he doesn't know the real reason why Harry is Tom's treasure at this moment.

"Are you sure you're all right?" Ron whispered next to Harry. "You just got back yesterday and haven't had a good rest yet."

"I'll go to sleep later." The light was not good in the Room of Requirement, and Tom hadn't noticed the dark circles under Harry's eyes at that time, and Ron knew Harry best, so he naturally noticed it quickly There's something wrong with Harry.

Harry has not been able to sleep well for a long time, and it is not so easy to get those "spare horcrux carriers". This period is probably the most tiring period he has spent after the war. The overdraft made him just want to go back to sleep quickly.

The judges asked Tom a few questions, and Tom seemed to be able to answer fluently. Harry glanced at him, and then patted Ron on the shoulder: "I think I really have to go back, I need... a good rest .”

Although as an instructor he should stay and wait for the end, but he is also the "treasure" of the Warriors in this game. It doesn't matter whether he stays or not.

And his mind is really messed up right now.

He needs to rest and think.

"There are still 15 minutes." Kevin looked at the time, and he frowned faintly. Because of the reason for the first game, Riddle and Burr were actually the warriors he was more optimistic about, but who knew that they were in the second game? The game time will actually be the last to arrive.

Even Tom, he went to the tower side, and there was no danger factor. The creatures they arranged to block there were actually easy to repel, and the creatures there definitely did not exceed the range of the fourth grade.

But Riddle exceeded half an hour.

He really didn't know what was going on.

"There are still 5 minutes." The last warrior still didn't appear, and Tom was staring at the place where Harry had gone in a daze.

When they were in the Room of Requirement before, Harry's attitude and reaction were very violent, while Tom's impulse was only momentary, and he calmed down after that, but after calming down, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Even if Harry couldn't accept him, he couldn't make Harry reject him.

They talked a lot in the Room of Requirement.

Harry, that person, can't be said in itself, can't he?

"Why must it be me, Tom?" Harry looked puzzled and a little confused, "Why... me?" But what Tom didn't know was that Harry was thinking, why both In which world, he will always be entangled with Voldemort?

It wasn't long after he obviously begged Voldemort, but after coming to this space, he fell into the trap from Riddle again, and he always felt that the more he struggled in it, the deeper he fell into it.

"I won't give up, Harry," Tom said to Harry.

Slytherin will never give up what he wants, whether it is people or things.

They can't learn to give up, they can only always take.

Harry later distracted himself by saying that it was game time, and Tom agreed to leave the Room of Requirement. After all, he was not one of those crazy idiots, and there was no need to force Harry to give himself an answer.

He can wait slowly, but the game is almost time.

"It's time." Although Kevin shouted, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

After the time limit was exceeded, the game was considered over. Because they were afraid of the Warriors having an accident, they had a professor following the Warriors, but they did not receive any news about Berr until the end of the game.

"We have to go and see the situation." Dumbledore stood up decisively, "This is obviously abnormal." Logically speaking, if the player delays time because he can't find the "treasure", then the professor following him will Sending a message back when time is running out will at least let the judges know why the Warriors haven't shown up for so long.

But so far, several other professors have come back, only Burr and his professors are still missing.

"Take the children back." Dumbledore said to Slughorn. The other professors had already walked to the field on Burr's side. Dumbledore just wanted to move, but was pulled back by the people behind him.

"Hold the wand." The other party whispered in his ear, "I feel a powerful black magic breath."

"Dark magic?" Dumbledore frowned, and took out his wand neatly, "Is there a dark wizard sneaking into Hogwarts?" No, if this is the case, the ghosts will react immediately and wander around Everywhere in the castle, itself is extremely vigilant against outsiders.

"Go and have a look." The students had almost been dismissed, and no one noticed the strange behavior of the two of them at this time. They chased after the judging group, with their wands held in their hands.

The author has something to say: Someone asked when Tom and Harry could really achieve the fruit of cultivation, well ←_← If I tell you when Tom is no longer rational and why Harry is the most important thing, you think it is the fruit...
