Riddle suddenly stopped for a very long time, and he rarely gathered Death Eaters to do anything. He locked himself in a small room every day, studying his black magic until I got Got a piece of news - Krell is getting married in July.

He invited many classmates to Lestrange's manor, including some of the Death Eaters I know, and Riddle.

I sat in the corner and sipped my drink, quietly observing the others at the party.They talked and laughed, chatting in full swing.The bride was a girl from a pure-blood family I didn't know, but I bet she didn't know who a Krell Death Eater was - of course, they probably didn't even know what a Death Eater was.

However, during this period of time, it may be that they have reached an age group where housework takes the main place, and it is obvious that Riddle chose to understand and gave them ample rest.

"...I didn't expect you to be so early. I may have to wait until next year—or the year after, maybe. You know, my family thinks there is a better choice, and they have been dragging this matter."

I heard Malfoy talking to Clare over there.

I suddenly realized that I was also 21 years old.

Time flies too fast, I think.

I drank all the wine in the glass sullenly, and when I raised my eyes, I suddenly caught a glimpse of Ranbusi looking around furtively at the door, and then disappeared around the corner.I got up subconsciously, and walked towards the wall through the crowd.

"Aisley? Where are you going?" Alphard greeted me, and Irina who was next to me also turned her head when she heard the voice.

"I'm going to get some air," I said, and walked out the door quickly.Ranbusi didn't know why he just walked up to the stairs. I quickly hid behind the wall, watched him look around and then went down. I followed quietly until he turned into a nearby alley.

"Have you done everything I asked you to do?"

I listened carefully behind the wall, not knowing who Ranbusi was talking to, I poked my head cautiously, and saw a familiar face across from him - a member of the Lestrange family, but I didn't know who it was , I just saw it today.

"It has been placed, no problem. Just behind the clock, I set up a layer of confusion spell and a layer of protection spell, and the position is relatively high, only those with the ability to fly can see it, and no one will notice it except the owner. After all, who's flying around indoors on a broomstick?" The man sneered.

I leaned against the wall, left here silently, and went up the stairs to the top floor. I looked up, and there was a clock tower standing there, reaching the top of the ceiling.

I don't know what Riddle asked them to hide. I was a little worried that it was a trap, but then I thought about it. Except for Alphard and Irina, no one among the Death Eaters knew that I had the ability to fly. These two people have no reason Deliberately set up a situation to lure me into the bait.Thinking of this, I turned into a bird and flew up to the pendulum at the top, landing on the dusty platform.

I thought for a while, groped on the pendulum for a long time, and touched a raised thing, I pressed it without thinking, and the pendulum stopped instantly, my heart tightened, and I quickly lifted the glass cover on it, inside It was a dark dark cell, I got into it, and used fluorescent flashes, but there was nothing in it.

Was it really cheated?

No, Confusion Curse.I remembered what that person said, so I read the spell to break it, and as expected, a dilapidated wooden box appeared in front of me.

I smashed the protective spell, and opened the wooden box. Inside was a piece of black cloth, which was wrapped with something bulging. I spread it out to have a look, and the light almost blinded my eyes.

A silver crown inlaid with blue gems.

"This is..." I was startled. After careful study for a long time, I confirmed my guess, "Ravenclaw's crown?"

As if I had achieved an unprecedented great achievement, my hands were shaking with excitement.

After such a long time, Riddle was finally found by me for the first Horcrux.

Without even thinking about it, I cast the Crushing Charm on it.However, the spell hit it without any waves, and I even suspected that my magic ability had degraded.

"Burning flames!"

The fire was burning, and the crown was still intact in it.As a last resort, I could only extinguish it with clear water like a spring.

Why can't these spells destroy a small crown?I frowned, and tried to use the most primitive method, smashing it down with a wooden box, and stepped on it a few times, but the crown didn't even deform.

"Who?"

I suddenly stopped what I was doing, leaned my back against the wall, and peeped out with one eye through the gap.

It was the man who had spoken to Ranbusi earlier.

Oops.My mind was racing, trying to figure out how to get out of this predicament.

"Who's up there?" He raised his wand and pointed it in my direction, "Come out, I'll give you one last warning."

I turned into a bird so that the target was smaller and stayed inside without moving.His spell hit, and the glass cover shattered, and I flew out of it to hide in the dark while taking advantage of the chaos.

He approached step by step, his eyes fixed on it.

I walked around behind him, looked at the stairs, and found that someone was walking up, I was startled, I changed back into a human form and tried to pretend to go down naturally, but the man behind me heard the movement and turned around quickly.

I cursed secretly in my heart, pre-emptively took out my wand and pointed it at him.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Who are you?" He glared at me, looking up and down.

"Don't worry about who I am," my brain was running wildly, and the footsteps downstairs could already be heard clearly, "What are you doing here, and making such a noise, could it be that you are a thief, stealing things ?”

"Don't spit blood!" He snorted coldly, raised his head proudly, and stared at me suspiciously, "On the contrary, I just discovered the thief. I don't care who you are, but you can't get away with it anyway."

"But I just came here when I heard the voice. You are the only one here." I turned up the volume, but my hands were cold from tension.

"Ashley Field? What's going on?" Irina's voice came from behind me.

"I heard the voice coming up and found him sneaking around the clock, not knowing what he was doing," I said.

"You!" He was furious, pointing at me and trying to chant a spell.

"Expelliarmus!" The wand flew out of his hand and flew into Irina's hand.Irina glanced at him coldly: "If you have anything to say, save it for a while and explain."

"Look at him, I'll call the master." She didn't even look at me, turned her head and left, and I stood here waiting with wide-eyed eyes.

"The thief shouted, "Stop the thief, it looks like it's you." He said, "I went to Lord Dark Lord's place in a while, I see how you can still shirk!"

I didn't respond, my eyes were fixed on the ground, and I was still concentrating on finding a way.

After a while, Irina came back. She took us downstairs and turned into the innermost room of the empty corridor, where Riddle was already sitting.

"Master." She bowed.

Riddle glanced up at me and the man.

"Castiel..." Riddle gently stroked his wand with his finger, "Please explain."

Seeing that he was about to speak, I hurriedly said: "I was walking around to get some air, but I heard the sound of something breaking, so when I went upstairs, I saw him not knowing what to do under the clock. It should have broken the glass cover with a spell, and there was a silver object in his hand."

"Silver thing?" Riddle looked at me.

"You bullshit!"

"Yeah, I didn't see it clearly. There was something blue shining on it." I made it up. "Then I asked him to put it back, and then Irina saw it."

Riddle glanced at me indifferently: "Is this what you see, Irina?"

"No! She's lying, she's going to steal the master's crown—" Castiel retorted loudly.

"Cruciatus." Riddle didn't even look at him.He curled up on the ground in pain and screamed, I saw the mark of the Death Eater on his forearm exposed, writhing ferociously, with bulging veins, very penetrating, "I haven't let you talk, Ka Sidio."

Riddle stood up from the chair, staring straight at me with eyes without the slightest warmth. Suddenly, a powerful force began to invade my mind bit by bit. I groaned and fell to my knees, using all my strength Occlumency resisted.

"I'm not lying." I stared at Riddle unwaveringly.

That power was quickly taken back, and I couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

"Master, I think something is wrong." Irina who was at the side suddenly said, my heart tightened suddenly, and I looked at her, but she continued to say without squinting, "Why don't you take a look at Castiel's memory , I think if he was innocent he would be willing to let you investigate."

"What do you say, Castiel." Riddle turned to him.

"I am willing...Master, I am willing to prove my innocence." Castiel panted heavily on the ground, and squeezed out intermittent words.

"That's good." Riddle approached him, knelt down, and raised his face, aiming his wand at Castiel's temple.

At the critical moment, I thought of making some noise elsewhere to divert attention, but before I could do it, the window on one side shattered, and I broke out in a cold sweat. Due to the huge impact force from the outside, the glass shards Flying into the room, like a deadly weapon, Irina reacted quickly and blocked it with the Iron Armor Curse. Riddle's Legilimency had to be suspended, and he flashed to the window. With all eyes on the window, Castiel slipped silently to his side, placing the tip of his wand to his head.At this time, he was extremely weak and unarmed, so he had no time to react.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered in his ear, and then tampered with his memory without hesitation.

It is impossible to say that you are not happy.However, I was still very puzzled. If it was a coincidence, it would be too coincidental. Even Merlin was helping me.

I quickly moved away from Castiola.Because he didn't have time to cast a spell to resist, his body was still scratched a few times by glass shards.I bared my teeth in pain, and pulled out a shard of glass stuck on my arm.

The surroundings became quiet again, and there was no follow-up after the window exploded.

"What's going on?" Irina glanced at the wound on her tiger's muzzle, "Someone is making trouble?"

Riddle didn't speak, and glanced around the window again to confirm that there was nothing unusual.

He turned his head to look at Castiel, who fell to the ground. At this moment, the latter's face was full of horror. He was obviously immersed in the new memory I implanted, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He watched Riddle slowly walk in, tears and sweat streaming down his face.

"Lord... master, I... let me go, I didn't mean to..." He said tremblingly, "I didn't—I didn't betray you, I don't dare anymore, master, please give me another chance -"

Riddle looked at him as if his eyes were about to freeze, and he looked down at the distressed Castiel.

"You have no chance."

A green light flashed, Castiel stared, his mouth opened wide, his skin began to turn a dead man's bluish white, and there was no more movement.

"Ranbusi." Riddle summoned Ranbusi, and Ranbusi knelt down at his feet respectfully.

"This matter, I originally entrusted you to complete it."

"Yes, master." Ranbusi responded.

"Did you do it yourself?"

Ranbusi shuddered, and took a quick glance at Castiel's body.

I looked at Ranbusi's back and prayed that he would never say that he had given Castiel to do it, and everything would be over.Fortunately, he seemed to be very afraid of being punished, so he admitted that he did it himself.

"Yes, Master." He lowered his head, "Master, I was negligent and did not take proper precautions to allow someone with a heart to take advantage of the loophole. I will accept the punishment voluntarily."

I frowned.

"It's not your fault, Ranbusi." Riddle helped Ranbusi, who was visibly relieved, "It can be regarded as cleaning up in advance. You don't need to do the crown thing, I personally Come." He stepped out of the room, and when he passed me, he glanced at me coldly, if there was deep meaning in his eyes, I shivered and didn't look at him again, until he left the room, my legs couldn't stop Soft.

so close.

Don't be so impulsive next time.
