Since then, Riddle has never been very strict with my whereabouts—he will never reassure me just because of what he said. I don’t know if he has sent other Death Eaters to watch me secretly, but It doesn't matter to me, at least I am much freer than before.

The two things he took from Hepzibah, I kind of figured out what they were - Slytherin's pendant and Hufflepuff's cup.I have to remember that when he was in Hogwarts, he wanted to find the sword of Gryffindor. It seems that at that time, he wanted to use this treasure as a Horcrux. Fortunately, it is still in Hogwarts. Ci is fine, he didn't get it.If he wanted the treasures left by the founders of the four colleges, apart from the sword, only the crown of Ravenclaw remained unknown, and it was unclear whether Riddle had found it.When he has a chance, he has to go back to Hogwarts to look for it. If he hasn't got it yet, he can...

Rather than hiding it for protection, though... I slowed down thoughtfully among the passing crowd.

Why don't you take the initiative to find out and give it to him, on the one hand, even if you can't gain complete trust, you can relax a lot of his guard, on the other hand, after he makes a Horcrux... then destroy it.

Wouldn't this be more appropriate?

I twitched the corner of my lips slightly, but the tight feeling of oppression in my heart was still strong.The wind blown by the passing vehicles was hotter than the temperature of the skin penetrated by the sun shining on the clothes for a long time. I sighed unconsciously and suddenly felt a little confused.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Suddenly there was chaos ahead, a girl accidentally kicked over the bowl of a homeless man on the street, and the worn-out iron bowl doubled on the ground, making harsh crashing sounds and the sound of loose change.The girl bowed her head and apologized again and again, while she kept running quickly to squeeze the people who stopped and looked this way away.

I stepped forward to help pick up the banknotes and small change that were scattered all over the floor, put them in a bowl and handed them to the homeless man.The girl glanced back in a hurry, I was taken aback, put down the bowl, got up and followed.

She trotted across the street, crossed the road, turned a few more corners, and finally entered a village I recognized as Godric's Hollow, but she didn't stop.There is a small square in the center of the village, and there is a war monument-shaped building in the center of the square.There are a few shops, a post office, a bar, and a chapel whose stained-glass windows shine like jewels across the square.

She walked around the bar and onto a path surrounded by tall bushes.I followed not far or near, and tripped over a branch without noticing.I staggered, and the grass made a rustling sound.I didn't dare to move, but when I looked up, the girl had disappeared.I had no choice but to walk forward along the path by myself, and came to a house.The walls of the house are partly covered in ivy, with unobtrusive magical undulations.It was clearly inhabited by wizards rather than Muggles, and in fact Muggles would never see the house.I was very surprised.

"You've been following me?"

I was so frightened that the hairs on my body stood on end, I quickly turned around, and the girl came out from the bushes behind me.

"Oh—it's you." Her eyes flickered, and she sneered, "Tsk."

The house blocked the light, and her expression looked particularly terrifying in this gloomy environment.

"Wright." I took a deep breath, "It's really you. Why are you here?"

"What do you think?" She approached me step by step, "This is my home."

I took a few steps back, "Are you... a wizard too?"

"Oh." Wright didn't answer, but got closer and closer to me, his eyes looked me from head to toe wantonly.My hand silently held the handle of the wand, but the cold expression in her eyes suddenly changed, she pulled my sleeve, and I trembled, the hand that was holding the wand was pulled by her like this can loosen.

"Long time no see, Ashley." Her tone suddenly became gentle and eager, "Come on, come to my house for a while, I want to chat with you."

I was dragged into the room by her, she pressed my shoulders to let me sit on the chair, and poured a cup of tea graciously.

I took a token sip and put the glass back on the table.

She sat next to me, and took my hand again, her attitude seemed to be very sincere, her eyes were glowing with red water: "Oh, I know you have always cared, I did a lot of excessive things when I was young-but At that time, I was young and playful, I know you can understand, can't you? Besides, it was that villain Weil who kept coming up with ideas..."

With some difficulty, I withdrew my hand from her.Seeing that I didn't respond, her eagerness diminished a lot. She stood up, turned her back and searched for something in the cabinet, then carefully put the thing into her sleeve, and slowly turned back.

There was a slight sound from the closed door next to him.

"Is anyone else here?" I asked.

"Oh, yes, yes." She replied quickly as if frightened, then walked over lightly, with her back against the door of the room, and made a "shh" gesture on her lips, "We have to whisper It's [-] o'clock, Ashley. That's my dear mother, she's still taking a nap." Wright laughed strangely.

"We didn't expect you to come today, after all, how could you come to such a dirty place—"

The door was opened, and a sleepy middle-aged woman came out from inside.

"Jessica Wright!" she screamed angrily, "Why are you here again? How many times have I told you not to break into our house again? Didn't your father give you money? If it's not enough, I I will mail it to you again, please leave now!"

She strode over, picked up Wright by the collar and dragged her toward the door, when she saw me.

"And who is this! You brought your Muggle friends?"

Wright struggled to break free from her, ran up behind me, and shouted, "She's not those disgusting Muggles, she's a wizard, just like us!"

The woman's eyes widened, her face flushed, she reached out and wanted to grab her: "You crazy girl, get the hell out of here - never come again -"

Wright gave me a push to get in front of me and backed himself into the corner.

"And you—" the woman shifted her gaze to me, angrily, "I don't care who you are, it's simply rude to break into other people's homes! Get out of here, you are not welcome here!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand what was going on." I apologized to her with a slight bow, "Offended."

I straightened up, only to find that Wright had walked behind the woman at some point, stretched out a fruit knife from his sleeve, and plunged into the back of the woman's neck.

My pupils shrank suddenly, and I quickly took out my wand and pointed at her, but it was too late.

The woman threw herself straight to the ground, her nose hit the ground firmly, her nasal bone was probably broken, blood flowed out, her head tilted to the side, her mouth was still open in horror, and her whole body twitched involuntarily.

"Magic wand... magic wand... help..." She tried to raise her eyes to stare at me, pointing to the room with trembling fingers.

"Wright!" I yelled.

Wright held the fruit knife dripping with blood, looked at me with a sly smile, then slowly squatted down, thrust the knife into the woman's wound, and stirred it violently .

I wanted to disarm her, but she let go and stood up, leaving the knife on the woman's neck, bleeding profusely—the woman was completely dead.

"Damn it, what are you doing!" I was trembling from head to toe. For some reason, this extreme fear was stronger than ever when I saw a dead person. I had a wand in my hand, but my legs Still weak, the palm of the hand holding the wand was wet, cursing in his heart and slowly backing away.

She approached me empty-handed, strangely, her face was not the kind of cold-blooded heartless, I saw her tears flowed down with blood, but she was smiling, my wand was straight Pointing at her, she didn't flinch at all, like a lunatic who didn't know what to do.

"Stay away from me! Damn..." I hit my back on the table.I can't even remember to say any spells, my brain and limbs seem disconnected.

She stopped very close in front of me, stared at me for a few seconds, my scalp felt numb, and I even started to feel dizzy, until her hands grabbed my sleeves, I pressed down with the hand holding the wand, then I got shorter, and my hands changed from holding the sleeves to holding the corners of my clothes. I was half kneeling on the ground, almost tearing my clothes.

"Tell me, Ashley, tell me how to use magic?" Her eyes didn't blink, she stared at me with horror, her tone was very soft, "You know that, right? She won't tell me , said I was not worthy, even my father put me off by saying that I would never learn magic - I am so smart, how could I not learn it? They didn't want to teach me, they all only liked my brother, they didn't like me , or you wouldn’t have sent me to an orphanage as soon as I was born—”

"Stay away from me, Wright." With all my strength, I pulled the skirt out of her hand.

"Are you still mad at me for things that happened when you were a child?" She still knelt and crawled in front of me, grabbing my clothes again, like grabbing a life-saving straw, "I beg you, Ace Li, I've been thinking about it since you left. You teach me, I want to leave this place, I don't belong here, I'm a wizard!"

"I can't teach you, get out." I threatened, "If you don't let go, I'm going to cast a spell."

"Even you look down on me, don't you?" She let go of her hand and stood up, suddenly grabbed my shoulders like crazy and shook me, I was dizzy again, "Tell me! You look down on me too, don't you! "

"Damned!" I yelled the incantation.

Wright fell to the ground, and my shoulder was still pinched.I took a big gulp of fresh air, my hands still shaking.

As I passed Mrs. Wright's body, my eyes were stung by the red blood, and my breath became more and more short of breath as I looked at the horrible wound where the knife had been inserted.I left the house as if fleeing, and ran towards the way I came.

"Apparition!" With a thud, I disappeared and fell on the edge of the stream.I soaked the sleeves and corners of the clothes in water and scrubbed them over and over until the bloodstains were no longer so conspicuous.

I wiped my sore eyes with trembling hands, and my head throbbed like a pinprick. Only then did I realize that the previous dizziness didn't just come from fear.My eyes went dark, I plunged into the water, and lost consciousness.
