"Is he finally willing to speak?"

After three or four days, there was finally progress.But everything has nothing to do with me, after all, this interrogation task is not entrusted to me.

But in the past few days, there has been almost no sound in the basement. I guess Riddle has changed his method and did not blindly torture with spells.

"The next thing, I will do it myself."

Riddle refused everyone to follow, and several people looked at each other, Avery asked cautiously: "I think it's safer to let us go with you."

"No need, I can handle it." He calmly put on his coat, but his eyes fell on me.

I blinked my eyes inexplicably: "What?...do you need me?"

He shook his head, took his wand and left the house, while the others wandered around with nothing to do.

"I'm going out for a while." Irina suddenly stood up from the sofa.

"What are you doing?" Crabbe dropped a grape in his mouth.

"The master is going to work, let's not be idle, you forgot what we are going to do on this journey? There are not only werewolves in Scotland." Irina glanced at Crabbe.Crabbe curled his lips in disdain, nestled on the sofa and did not move: "Go to you, I still want to rest for a day."

Irina snorted coldly: "As you please."

Not long after she left, Nott left too, and it was just me, Avery, and Crabbe.Avery went over and pulled Crabbe. Crabbe didn't like it, but in the end he let himself be pulled up.

"Hey!" Crabbe turned around with a displeased face, "Don't be lazy!" Then Avery dragged him out.

I walked unhurriedly at the end.I don't intend to help Riddle win over anyone, but to avoid them thinking that I do nothing, I just have to follow these two, I will go wherever they go, and I don't need to do anything anyway.

It wasn't until the middle of the night, when I tossed and turned, that I heard movement in the hall, as if someone was talking in a low voice.I opened my sleepy eyes in a daze, yawned and got out of bed barefoot, quietly walked to the door, and opened the door a small gap.

Riddle was talking to another man, wearing a hat, his back turned to me, I couldn't recognize who it was, and the voice couldn't be heard clearly.I stood at the door for a long time, and finally I couldn't stop my tired sleepiness, and I went back to bed and passed out.

"Wake up."

I opened my eyes, turned my head impatiently, and saw Riddle sitting next to me.

"Are you like this again?" My brain is still in a rigid state, and I haven't escaped from the drowsiness, but in view of the last time, my tone didn't dare to be too rigid, "What's wrong?"

I rubbed my eyes and forced myself to wake up: "Is the werewolf thing over?"

"Yes, I signed a contract with them."

"You have an Unbreakable Charm with them?" I was a little surprised.

He smiled sarcastically: "Of course not. It's a new spell that I've improved. They just need to abide by it unilaterally. I don't want to bet my life on an oath. But I also promise them that they will Released from the seal, set them free, and I did."

"seal?"

"Yes, they are trapped here."

I keenly noticed that there was a wound on his body, his clothes were scratched, and crimson blood oozes from it.

Tsk, sure enough.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.I offered to put my hand up and healed his wound.

"Why bother? Why don't you let us all go with you, and you won't get hurt." I said softly, but there was a little sarcasm in my heart, "After making the Horcrux, your soul itself is not Intact, and unlocking the seal for the werewolf will only make you weaker..."

"Your ability cannot be known by them." He explained casually, "Besides, since the deal is between the two of us, you can only belong to me."

"What is yours?"

"Good night." He ignored my question, got up and left my room.

……

Everything went very well, we stayed here for more than a week, ready to go to the next stop - Madrid.

I stood in front of the window, and the silver-white moonlight shone into my room, and I stared at the looming full moon in the scattered clouds and mist.

"Ouch-"

I heard wolves howling in the distance.

Early the next morning, the group packed up and waited in the hall.Crabbe sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, yawning and crying.Irina was sitting alone on the side, wrapping herself tightly in the hot weather, her face was very ugly, as if she was sick.

"Why don't we go to France first? It's a long sailing route to Spain," Crabbe asked.

"Going by boat?" Avery stroked his chin.

"What else? I don't want to use Apparition for such a long journey—that would be too unbearable, and it would be more comfortable to come by boat."

"I have also made many contacts in France over the years, so I don't need to worry about it. After going to Spain, I just cross the Mediterranean Sea and go to Italy directly. There is no need to waste time."

A strange and clear voice sounded from the door.A tall, lanky figure entered, stopped in front of us, took off his hat, and bowed slightly.Silver-haired, blue-eyed, handsome, with a springy smile on his face, he seemed very friendly, but his eyes made me feel indescribably uncomfortable.

"We've added two new friends on our next trip," Riddle introduced, "Ranbusi."

Ranbusi bowed respectfully to Riddle.

"And, Blake."

My body trembled involuntarily, and my head, which had just been lowered, was raised again.

Blake?

My hands grip the cushions on the couch tightly around my legs.My palms were sweating, my mind went blank, and I stared without blinking at the other person who appeared in the hall.

He raised his head after bowing, and I saw a completely unfamiliar face, with curly black hair and dark eyes, the typical appearance of the Black family.

While I breathed a sigh of relief, there was also an inexplicable disappointment.

Riddle glanced around: "Okay, you guys pack up, we have to leave in a while."

After Riddle left, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.

"Alphad!" Crabbe walked over in surprise and patted him on the shoulder, "You're here too? I thought you wouldn't come!"

"I knew you'd change your mind," Avery laughed.

Alphard smiled wryly and did not speak, and the three of their old classmates gathered together to greet each other.

"Hello."

I look up.

"May I sit here?" Ranbusi asked politely.I glanced at Nott on the other side with my eyes closed, and then at Irina, who was still sluggish. Although I was not very happy, I still nodded.

He sat down next to me.I moved to the side to avoid getting too close to him.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Ashley Field."

"Aisley, not a bad name."

"Thank you." I didn't want to continue the communication, but unfortunately he didn't mean to stop.

"The first time I saw you, I felt very kind." There was a gentle smile in his tone, but this made me even more uncomfortable.

"Really?" I responded dryly.

"I don't know if you have a feeling... I feel that we are destined to have some kind of connection. Fate entangles us, blood and soul..." His voice was filled with a hint of bewitching, and his fingers moved like provocative I stroked the back of my hand.I quickly withdrew my hand and looked at him in disbelief, the hairs on my body stood on end, I almost blurted out the word "sick". It happened that Riddle just came back at this time, so I stood up and walked out together with them.

I looked back at this strange man, he stood up slowly, shrouded in the shadow, with the usual gentlemanly smile on his face.

It was not a weekend, and there were not many people on board. We were scattered in the cabin, and the rooms were not adjacent to each other.

After I set up the room and went out, people sat around the dining table, or stood in groups, talking to the melodious music.From afar, I saw Ranbusi raising his glass to me.

Could it be a pervert?I muttered to myself.I bypassed the crowd, went down the steps to the deck, and lay on the railing watching the calm and deep sea.

After a brief absence, I found that there was an extra person next to me——I didn't even hear footsteps.

But don't be that Ranbusi... My heart tightened, but I turned around and saw Alphard's face.fine.I continued to look at the distance where the sea and the sky continued.

"Is your name Ashley?" he asked.

"Yes."

"I've seen you in the newspapers, but I didn't expect to see you here."

I lowered my head, rocking one foot back and forth.

The air was awkwardly silent, and I was thinking about how to speak up.

"Orien... is he okay?" I struggled for a long time, and finally managed to ask.

"Hmm..." A gust of sea breeze blew by, and he narrowed his eyes, "It's not good."

I froze.

"He thought you were dead."

I opened my mouth, and an unspeakable uncomfortable feeling blocked my throat.

"After you entered Azkaban, he wanted to see you, and begged my sister for a long time for this matter, but Walburg should add her—" Alphard frowned, "Anyway, I'm so angry with her, She doesn't want you two getting involved - I didn't even know he had any friends at school before this, and he never mentioned anything about school to anyone.

Ever since he heard that you were dead, he just kept himself in the room every day when he went back home, hardly saying a word.He used to have a good relationship with me and my sister, but now he doesn't want to talk to anyone, especially Walburga.We didn't know what to do with him. "

My heart throbbed violently, and I stared intently at the sea level, letting the wind blow away the hazy mist in front of my eyes, until my eyes felt astringent pain, and I didn't blink.

"So...why did you join the Death Eaters?" I changed the subject.

"Nott found me." He sighed. "We're old school friends, and even though the two of us have always looked down on each other—I think he's right. Judging by the current situation, Voldemort It is very possible to dominate the wizarding world in the future. Orion thinks I am crazy-in fact, I know that many of our views are the same. He is a sensible person, but he is not willing to be Voldemort's pawn men."

"Voldemort?" I repeated the name silently.

"Why, don't you know?" Alphard looked at me suspiciously, "He was using this name openly when he was spreading ideas and wooing various families. I thought everyone as a Death Eater should know. It's just that he No one is allowed to call him by his first name."

"Voldemort..." I couldn't understand that pronunciation.He even remembered what I had told him.In an instant, some complicated emotions surged up, and I rubbed the tense brows, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

It would be possible to give some reasonable explanations. The name of his Muggle father has always been an obsession for him, and he wanted to get rid of it a long time ago.

"Many families who have made good friends with Black are planning to support him. Nott is right. It is difficult for Black to be unique. In fact, when you think about it, there is nothing wrong with bowing your head. A person as proud and conceited as Nott also joins the food industry." Dead Apostles?" Alphard took a deep breath, "We still have to see the situation clearly. Dumbledore just defeated Grindelwald, and he lost a lot of vitality. There are waves of ups and downs, and he is not young. Sooner or later the momentum will pass.”

"The magic world... the sky is going to change." He looked up at the gray-blue sky with melancholy, the sky was covered with overcast clouds, maybe it was going to rain soon.He adjusted his collar and turned away.

"Alphad." I stopped him and hesitated for a moment, "...When you see Orion again, tell him that everything is fine for me."

"I will." He smiled.

My back was facing the sea, my hair was wet with water stains and fluttered messily on my face, I tasted a bit of bitterness on my lips.

"Wait a moment!"

I twitched the corner of my mouth stiffly.

"Forget it—forget it. Don't tell him I'm alive."
