[HP Fudai] Knot of Life and Death

The day the fifth-year prefect campaign kicks off he celebrates with his "friends" in the ballroom.

Dai was not taken——Tom Riddle hadn't taken Dai to class for a long time, and whenever he hung shoulders with those friends, and occasionally met Dai wandering in front of the portrait in the corridor, he would just glance this way.

"Hey, Riddle, what are you looking at?" The friends followed his gaze, and Dai dodged frightened by the gazes of the teenagers. "What's so interesting about paintings?" the boys said, one of them stretched out He knocked on the picture frame rudely, and the old man in the picture blew his beard and stared angrily.But their eyes penetrated Dai's body - Dai was invisible to them.

So Tom Riddle just smiled, shook his head, and continued walking to the living room with the group of people without answering.

Dai stood there, looking blankly at the Tom Riddle she was not familiar with, and he passed by her surrounded by the boys.After walking a few steps, Tom Riddle looked back and found that Dai was still standing there with her head lowered and her eyebrows drooping down, like some sad wandering spirit from the last century.

"Hey, girl, do you like that kid?" The old pedant in the frame looked at Dai with a sad face.Dai pursed her lips and shook her head hastily.

"That boy is not a good boy, he is a blood theory."

"Riddle?" Daiyu raised her head in surprise, "No, you must have made a mistake, he is a half-blood wizard, how could he be a bloodline theorist."

"He's the leader of a bunch of bloodist students, and he's done a lot of bad things all year. If you meet a boy like that, you have to run away—stay away. These people don't treat Muggles very well." Friendly. They can't even appreciate the beauty of poetry, but love to study black magic."

"But I've heard people say that there is no distinction between good and bad magic, it just depends on the intention of the person who uses it." Daiyu lowered her head and said slowly as if she had made a mistake.

"No, boy, of course not." The old pedant pushed his glasses. "Only people who use black magic will say that - because black magic itself is evil, they use killing to enhance their magic power, indulge their desires, and control good emotions - people who have been exposed to black magic will eventually be swallowed by evil, Few people can still insist on themselves in such a situation, and this kind of change is undetectable to them."

Daiyu exclaimed, covered her mouth with her sleeve, and took a step back. After a long time, she put her hand down.The eye sockets were already a little red, and he seemed a little helpless.

After standing still for a while, she lowered her hands, saluted the old gentleman in the picture frame, and returned to the living room.

When Tom Riddle came back that day, Dai was uncharacteristically not reading in her chair, but just sat there.

"Hey, Dai, what's the matter with you?"

The girl didn't move, she just said, "When I met you in the corridor today, I heard your group of friends talking about something, which was vaguely not a good word."

"Oh, they were joking—that—"

"Riddle, don't lie to me."

"Of course I didn't, Dai." Riddle put away his deliberate smile and looked at the girl in front of him.

The girl also looked back at him, staring at him blankly.

"Did you practice black magic?"

"No."

"Of course not," Riddle said.

"You said, what if you lied to me?" Daiyu's voice was a little trembling, with a bit of crying—this made Riddle feel sudden, "Dai," he took the girl's words, "magic is magic, There are only strong ones and not strong ones. A powerful wizard can save many lives, and a weak wizard can only be reduced to someone else's dinner. I don't understand. Who did you make friends with and who gave you what? Is it ecstasy soup?"

"No, Riddle, that's not what you said before."

"But I've always thought this way." Riddle said firmly, "Our world is a very dangerous place. It's not just as simple as what you see in the castle of Hogwarts. Bloodline theorists are also Not quite as easy to deal with as those stupid students, Dei, you have no idea what kind of world it is, if someone came one day with a wand and pointed it at our heads, those goddamn teachers, who haven't shown up yet If someone wants to kill us, I hope I can protect the person I want to protect."

"For no reason, why would someone want to kill you." Daiyu gritted her teeth and said word by word—"Do you think people are too bad?"

Riddle noticed Dai's anger—an anger that had been concealed for months. She was always so silent that Riddle thought it didn't exist. Temperament, but she will never get angry, and her anger has no deterrent effect, it seems that it will only hurt herself.

So Riddle said, "No, Day, you don't understand."

"You just want to protect yourself, so you must stand among those bad guys?"

"You don't understand, Di." Riddle said seriously to the girl, as if afraid that she might not hear clearly, or talking to himself, Riddle turned around, "You don't understand."

"Yes, in your eyes, I don't understand anything, so don't tell me anything." Daiyu looked at his back and sneered, her tone tinged with a bit of sadness.

"If something really happens one day, I will be the only one standing in front of you." Tom Riddle was silent for a moment, then said suddenly, "No matter what happens, the stronger one of us must protect the other." One, I have to protect you..."

"I can protect you too," Daiyu said.

"What are you protecting me with? Your handkerchief." Tom Riddle smiled wryly.

His Dai didn't speak, just sat there quietly, her face flushed from being suppressed, her eyes looked down, with a determined expression, she squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, as if she was going to squeeze water out of it—— No kidding.

"Okay, Dai." Tom Riddle reached out and grabbed her sleeve, and put on his usual calm and elegant smile, "Thank you. I understand."

"Did you really learn those things?" Daiyu raised her head and asked him.

"I learned some high-level magic - but they were banned because they were too powerful. I improved them. They are not as terrible as those guardians said. Believe me, Dai, those conservatives in the magic world , those old people, they are just maintaining their own ridiculous authority."

"I can't stop you either." Dai looked at Riddle worriedly, shaking her head. "I just hope you don't accidentally hurt your classmates, or yourself."

"I'll watch out, Dee."

"The people you're with - have a bad reputation."

"Yes."

"If they coerce you to do bad things, you can tell the teacher. I think those teachers like you very much, and they will help you."

"it is good."

"You also have to be vigilant, don't be too showy, you have to avoid the edge. In fact, I feel it's a pity for a person like you to be with those ordinary people, but it's up to you, and I can't make the decision. I'm just messing around Just say something and nothing."

"I'll listen to you, Dai, thank you." Riddle said to her, tilting his head.

"there's one more thing."

"what?"

"Your medicine..."

"medicine?"

"I always feel that since I started using the medicine, although my health has improved, I feel more and more inseparable from it. Sometimes I want to drink the medicine in my heart, and I feel a little addicted."

"The medicine will always be available, don't worry."

"How long do I have to eat? If it's conditioning, it's time to rest."

The shadow in Riddle's eyes flashed, "Yes, but maybe we'll wait until later, this is a potion that needs to be used for a long time. It's different from your eastern medicine, it's magic."

He got very close, and saw some faint bluish colors in Dai's eyes—this was abnormal, he had seen the black pupils of oriental girls countless times.What is this, the aftermath of citing unicorn blood?However, he put away the doubt in his eyes before the girl noticed.

"I will keep you safe."
