[HP Fudai] Knot of Life and Death

"Merope Gaunt."

"Yes sir, hello, I'm Merope Gaunt, I'm looking for a—"

The black-haired girl with braids hurriedly ran to the front of the counter, looking for her identification information. She was here to apply for a job.

"No, I just want to tell you that you are eliminated."

"Why?" Merope's eyes widened, and he looked at the impatient boss in front of him—"I just want to find a job to tidy up the garden...I..." The girl's face turned red, Couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Mr. Tom Riddle said he wouldn't take any of the Gunters."

"Ah?" Merope scratched the corner of his skirt and was about to say something when the white-haired boss lowered his voice and asked the reckless girl in front of him, "Is your brother really out of his mind? ?”

"How is it possible!" Meropogunter blushed when asked, "He just—"

"Then you are out of luck, miss." The boss straightened up again, and said sternly, "Everyone around here knows that the Gaunt family has some brain problems... Crazy, whether it's that old Gaunt, Or the son who nailed the snake to the door..."

These blunt words made Merope's face turn redder, and her gray dress seemed to have turned grayer because of these accusations.She wriggled her lips, and finally raised her head, wanting to say something, but she was pushed out of the door, and the sound of the door slamming was the answer.

"Hey, Squib!"

A stone hit, Merope turned his head, the black-haired boy was looking at her lazily,

"Morfin Gaunt!"

Merope looked at her younger brother in a panic, as if he had been caught doing something wrong—"Are you really going to tidy the garden for those Muggles?"

"No... I just..."

"Those dirty and nasty Muggles, if it were me, that old man would have been cast with the Cruciatus Curse! Not only the old man, but also Tom Riddle, I will use a harder one on him..."

"You can't do this, Morfin!" Merope hurriedly stopped her younger brother, and the latter's mocking voice answered her, "Look at that thing hanging around your neck, it's a token of Slytherin, May Lopgunt, and you actually want to wear such a precious thing, use your noble blood and identity to serve as a servant to a lowly and dirty Muggleborn, even Slytherins will be ashamed because of you."

"Shut up, Morfin." Merope yelled at his ugly younger brother angrily, but the latter had already walked away shaking the dead snake he took out from nowhere.

"You should congratulate yourself on your good luck, Merope. Maybe if you wash my socks for two weeks, I won't tell my father."

Merope looked down at his dirty gray dress—it was almost the same color as the brick wall.

She began to hate being a wizard, just as she hated her annoying brother and crazy and violent father.

The so-called noble wizard blood didn't bring her anything, didn't bring her some dresses that girls at this age like, didn't bring her any motherly or fatherly love, didn't give her even a Poor but normal family - even her job as a maid failed because of the blood.

With this bloodline, Meropogunt didn't even have the courage to love someone, and lost the right to spy.

Thanks to her crazy talk all day long and her younger brother who walks around with a snake in his hand, she grew up without even a decent friend.She has practiced how to say hello to people with a smile in her quilt countless times. The next time she meets her, she will still blush and say nothing, and finally lower her head in panic, because this way she will not be able to see other people's weird behavior. Eyes - looking at her weird eyes.

Merope hated that look—especially when Tom Riddle, the famous handsome squire in the neighborhood, looked at her, and her weird family, as he rode past his house on horseback.

What girl's house is full of poisonous snakes?

Merope felt ashamed like a snake crawling around a corner, waiting to be trampled to death or caught and beaten to death.

Because snakes don't get love.

Merope began to persuade herself to accept this fate. She no longer thought of any way to leave this dirty and crowded house as before, and cooked and tidied the house for her younger brother and father as peacefully as she did in the past ten years. Occasionally squatting in front of the fence, watching that handsome and flamboyant young man passing by on horseback.

Merope had never said that word in her heart, and she absolutely would never dare to say it to the young man.

That youth, Tom Riddle.

He has black jade-like hair, which seems to have gathered all the things in the world that a normal youth should have, whether it is a loud laugh, a decent status, a rich family, or a beautiful lover—— Tom Riddle seems to be the most thoroughly sunlit person in the world.

Merope used to think that this stare would last until Tom was too old to ride a horse, or the day Merope was strangled to death by her mad and manic wizard father.

She did not expect that such a scene would end in a very sudden and bizarre way.

It starts from the day her father and younger brother were arrested——
