[HP]Aluet

On the evening of August [-]th, Irina came to me again to get her last bottle of potion.

I opened the door and took a look, and the door of Riddle's room was tightly closed. To ensure that he would not notice the movement here, I put a soundproof spell around his room, and then went back into the room.

Irina raised her head and poured the potion. I watched her choked up tears, thought for a while, and took out a piece of candy from my bag.

"Thank you." She took it, chewed the candy, and her face looked better.

"I don't know if one day I will be able to make a medicine that can inhibit the transformation of werewolves, but to be honest, it's hard enough to make this terrible thing." I curled my lips, "Even if I I'm already proficient enough, but I still can't control the dosage and fail a few times."

"Maybe you can add some sugar to the potion." Irina said, "After all, it's really unbearable to drink it for two weeks before August [-]th."

"Definitely next time." I stretched, turned around and sat on the chair, and opened the herbal medicine book by myself.

After a while, there was a strange movement behind me. I turned my head in doubt, and under the reflection of the full moon outside the window, I clearly saw Irina's eyes turning from brown to red.

I was frightened, and I felt terrible in my heart. I quickly got up and wanted to get the wand beside the bed, but I was a step too late, and the giant wolf pounced on me. I lost my balance and fell to the ground. I knocked the wand off with my fingertips, but I couldn't hold it.

I could only hold back her fangs, they scratched my hand, the bloody smell irritated Irina's nasal cavity, her eyes were completely covered in blood red, and her heavy breath hit my neck.

"Nagini!" I subconsciously shouted as my strength was slowly draining.

Soon I was laughing at myself.I forgot that our relationship broke up months ago.

I'm still on my own.

While holding her teeth, I rubbed my back against the ground, moving my body a little bit towards the wand.Blood dripped down my face, I felt no pain, and my eyes were fixed on the magic wand that was close at hand.

I want to let go of one hand to pick up the wand, but I can hardly hold the force with both hands, let alone one hand.As long as I relax a little bit, I have no doubt that she will bite my neck off in an instant.

Had I known something would happen, I should never have left my wand.It's useless to regret now.I gritted my teeth thinking.

Blood dripped on my eyelids, I closed my eyes reflexively, the liquid covered my eyes, I blinked hard twice, but I couldn't open them no matter what.

Just when I was about to despair, Irina's mouth suddenly loosened, I seized the opportunity to turn over and picked up my wand, wiped my eyes, and pointed at her with the wand in a hurry: "Stunned!"

Irina shook her body twice, fell to the ground, her eyes were still staring at me, and I could clearly see the black shadow wrapped around her hind legs in an instant.

I forgot what I wanted to do for a moment, and a mess of strange emotions came to my mind, until I heard Nagini's familiar voice.

"Go get the medicine."

I just came back to my senses.I quickly took the sedative from the table and poured it into Irina's mouth.

Everything around me was quiet, except for my gasps of shock, which were still evident.

Nagini moved away from Irina and looked up at me silently.I looked at her, I don't know if she has the same complicated mood as me now, but she didn't say anything, and I didn't say anything, she turned around, snake scales rubbed against the ground, and disappeared into the unlit outside the door.

I sat by the window, staring at the moon in the sky.I didn't feel the slightest sleepiness.

I just sat like this until the moon was covered by clouds, the sky turned pale, and Irina woke up in her human form.

"What happened?" She staggered up and saw the blood on my face at a glance.She frowned, and it took a long time before she said, "Sorry."

I reacted, got up and washed my face, it took a long time to wash off the blood on my face and hands.

"Why didn't the potion work anymore?" she asked.

"It may be because of sugar." I took a deep breath, "I don't know what happened, but unfortunately, there is no hope that the process of taking medicine will be more comfortable in the future."

Irina's facial muscles twitched, looking reluctant.

She flipped out from the window that was not too high from the ground, and I walked out of the room, removed the soundproof spell on Riddle's door, and went back to the room and lay on the bed and covered myself with a quilt.

But I still don't feel sleepy.

I got up, looked at my dark circles carefully in the mirror, and covered them with foundation.

Riddle really did what he said. Every time he went to the Tafts' house, he would stay with Igg for a period of time and teach him some black magic. Although it was only superficial, Igg enjoyed it.The Tufters were very surprised that their son suddenly became obedient and obedient, and at the same time they were very happy. They treated Riddle better and better, treating him like their own family.

At the same time, Riddle still kept an eye on the situation at Hogwarts.Many relatives and friends of Death Eaters were still studying at Hogwarts, and they would always report to Riddle about school events from time to time, including students who were more prominent or showed interest in black magic.They secretly spread information about Voldemort in Hogwarts, especially in Slytherin College - after all, it is the gathering place for most pure-blood families, and many Slytherin students will be very familiar with the powerful and mysterious black magic. interested.

But recently, a Muggle wizard has attracted their attention.

"...is a Hufflepuff student in the sixth grade. His grades are unexpectedly good. All the professors like him very much. It is rare for Hufflepuff to come up with such a magical genius. They all said that he may be very good after graduation. Good development, he wants to work for the Ministry of Magic - too bad he's a dirty Mudblood and can't be used by us."

"What's your name?" Riddle asked.

"Nobby Rich."

"Continue to pay attention to him." Riddle knocked on the table thoughtfully, suddenly seemed to remember something, raised his head, "Let them--go and establish a good relationship with him."

"Why?" Those Death Eaters didn't know why, and didn't dare to ask more.

Riddle shook his head without answering, and continued to add: "Remember, don't mention the word mudblood in front of him, and build a good relationship with him, understand?"

"Yes, Master."

I am baffled.

Time passed day by day, and I didn't realize that winter was coming until the cool wind brought a few snowflakes in through the window cracks.

In the meantime, I learned from Irina that the tribe of werewolves that had previously taken over in Scotland stayed in the old forest, but their leader, Fenrir Greyback, got in The melon world has caused several small troubles, but fortunately, he was not caught and did not cause any big storms.

Everything is still very calm, the danger is hidden in the tranquility and is ready to go, and has not yet shown its fangs.

I closed the book at the desk, it was getting late, and I was going to bed.

I went to the door and wanted to close my door, but found Nagini lying cross-legged at my door. He straightened his neck and looked at me after hearing my footsteps.

I froze for a moment, stayed where I was for a long time, and finally returned to the room without closing the door.My eyebrows were furrowed into a ball, and the drowsiness that had just surfaced suddenly disappeared again.I flipped to the bookmark I had just tucked in, and looked back from there.

I moved my ears and heard the sound of scales sliding on the ground behind me.She stopped at my feet for a while, then climbed up to my table along the legs of the table, and put it in a position next to the bookshelf.

The atmosphere froze awkwardly.I try not to look at her as much as possible and continue to focus on the page.

"I'm sorry, Ashley." She paused there for a long time before opening her mouth slowly.

My hand that turned the page stopped, and I looked at her with a hint of surprise in my eyes.

As if mustering up a lot of courage, she moved her body restlessly: "Since that day, I have been thinking about this all the time." She paused for a while, then continued, "Did you say anything?" Wrong, Ashley, I have long known that the Blood Curse is unbreakable, but I have been deceiving myself with a little hope."

My heart suddenly began to throb like being pricked by some needle, and the hard shell began to shatter from that point.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that - I know you've been working hard to help me find a way to break it, I know, I'm just too uncomfortable, I really want to change back to the original, I really want to." I heard her voice trembling, and the candle light shone in her eyes, shining dots of sad water light, and I saw a little hidden red in it, which may be due to the reflection of the candle light, or it may be something else .

"I know—I shouldn't have said that, I hurt you, Ashley."

I shook my head, an indescribable feeling welled up at the tip of my nose, it started to sore, I opened my mouth not knowing what to say.

I don't want her to apologize because I know too well that I blurted out those bastard words out of emotion - I killed her hope and brutally opened her scars, and those words are as deep as nails I believe that even if I pull them out, the wound will always remain - because when I said those things, I also felt the pain riddled with holes.

"I think you know that in my heart you have never been more than a child—" she looked at me sincerely, "you are more of a friend."

Tears welled up from my swollen eyes, and I put my arms around Nagini's body, just like the one in the tree.

"I will help you, I will help you." I choked up, whether it was impulse or something, at least at this moment I made up my mind, "I said something stupid, Nagini. Don't give up hope, always Could find a way, maybe just didn't find—"

"It's too late."

I froze for a moment.

"What?" I left her and looked into her eyes blankly, with tears still hanging from the corners of my eyes. In the dimness, I saw her raise her head. On her seven-inch part, from the black scales, I faintly Yue saw a trace of dark red lines spreading.They are looming, and when I blink, they disappear.

"I can feel my own body, Ashley," she said softly. "I've come to say goodbye to you."

"Those illusions of getting better are like flashing back...they come back exponentially." Nagini sighed, "If I don't come to you today, I may never have another chance in the future."

As if I had been hit by a bolt from the blue, I was stunned, my mind blank.

"I've figured it out, this is my destiny, and I should accept it calmly." Her voice was like smoke lingering in my ears, "Everything about me should have disappeared with the smoke ten years ago. "She rubbed my arm, moved from the table to the ground, and then headed out the door.

"Nagini." I called to her.

My tears have already dried on my face.I lowered my head to think for a moment, and said calmly and lightly: "Can you stay?"

"Stay with me all night." I smiled at her, "It's too cold outside." I said softly.

After hesitating for a long time, she slowly climbed up from the foot of my bed.I also covered her with the quilt, and hugged tightly the huge body that used to scare me even close to it.

"Go to sleep, Nagini." The wet liquid slipped across the bridge of my nose and flowed into my ears, "I will wake you up when the sun comes out tomorrow morning."

The snow outside the window was still flying, I watched her blink several times, and finally closed her eyes slowly, as peaceful as an ordinary snake in hibernation.
