Chapter 163 Tom Riddle
The second half of the semester after Christmas was no different from usual, except that the increasingly cold and snowy weather forced Astoria to wear layers of thick sweaters and scarves at all times, which made her look much funny. .
In the corner of the Slytherin dormitory, Astoria, wearing a scarlet robe, regained consciousness. What caught her eye was the pure black leather diary in her hand. Her fingers were pressed on the paw prints in the lower right corner, her eyes Confused and empty.
How is this going? What happened to that annoying Gryffindor robe?
Astoria was confused and held the diary tightly in her hands. The low and cold voice in the dream seemed to penetrate the diary and reach Astoria's ears.
She was so frightened that she let go, and the diary fell to the wooden floor with a clatter.
Her lake-blue eyes reflected the square figure of the diary, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.
squeak-
The heavy door of the dormitory made a hurried sound. Astoria grabbed the bed and wrapped a blanket around herself in panic.
"Lea,...what's wrong with you?" Rosa looked confused, staring at the blond girl wrapped in a colorful blanket in front of her, and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, the dormitory seems to have become a little colder, don't you think?" Astoria looked calm and explained with a soft smile.
"Really..." Rosa tilted her head in confusion, as if she thought of something, and then said, "Leah, everyone has gone to the auditorium, aren't you going to have dinner?"
Astoria's expression froze, and then she looked up at the wall clock on the wall of the dormitory. It was already half of the usual dinner time.
"Oh my god, Rosa, did you wait for me on purpose? I'm so sorry I don't have much appetite today."
Astoria's expression was wrinkled, her eyes were full of guilt, and she looked at Rosa pitifully.
"It's okay. I'll leave first. Maybe I can bring you some French fries then." Although Rosa was a little disappointed, she still waved her hand sympathetically when she saw Astoria weakly wrapped in a blanket. .
"Thank you, my dearest Rosa."
When Rosa's figure completely disappeared outside the dormitory door, Astoria immediately stood up and locked the door, then changed out of her conspicuous unknown red school robe and stuffed it into a random bag.
Merlin! I actually can't remember what happened?
But looking at the school robe she took off and the diary on the floor, Astoria knew that she must have done nothing good.
She knelt down and picked up the black diary on the ground, a complex emotion flashing through her eyes. For some unknown reason, she pursed her lips and put the diary away on her bedside table.
Carefully walking through the corner of the dormitory corridor, I stuck my head out and glanced at the lounge. It was dinner time, and there were not many people sitting in the scattered corners of the Slytherin lounge.
Astoria breathed a sigh of relief, silently glad that no one had noticed her, and quickly fled out of the Slytherin lounge with the big bag on her back.
Until she returned the scarlet school robe of unknown owner to a corner on the eighth floor of the castle near Gryffindor Tower, Astoria didn't recall the circumstances under which she had done it... How should I put it? Theft?
Astoria didn't really want to admit this fact, but the diary hidden in the bedside table in the dormitory confirmed this fact all the time.
She looked dejected and dragged her heavy steps back to the lounge with her head lowered.
call! "
Astoria slowly walked to the fireplace in the corner, only to find Theodore Nott sitting quietly on the black sofa in the corner holding a book. His jet black hair and black sweater almost blended in with the sofa. Yi Yi almost didn't notice his existence.
"I didn't know that Miss actually had such a hobby. If you think you have been assigned to the wrong college, I suggest you negotiate with the Sorting Hat instead of sneaking into other colleges' robes to satisfy your dirty little thoughts..."
Theodore's expression was still as calm as ever, but his words were full of sarcasm. Astoria's face suddenly turned red. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't do anything. She curled her fingers unconsciously and coughed in embarrassment.
"I...is not what you think..."
"You don't need to be so nervous. I'm not so bored that I spend my spare time spreading scandals!"
Theodore glanced at Astoria who was embarrassed and at a loss, closed the book in his hand, stood up and left without looking back.
Astoria opened her mouth, but no words came out. Astoria just sighed helplessly until Theodore completely disappeared at the end of the stairs.
Even she herself didn't know how to explain what happened. When she encountered Theodore's indifferent and sarcastic gaze, her anxious and confused mood reached its peak.
……
"Helena, you will share my glory, my blood and even...my death with me."
Those blood-red pupils were mixed with complex emotions and looked particularly abrupt in the dark environment.
Astoria once again dreamed of the man named Tom, and her uncontrollable heartbeat in the dream seemed still vivid in her mind.
Looking around, my friends were all sleeping soundly. It was getting dark outside the window, and scattered stars filled the night sky. Astoria slowly took out the mysterious and evil diary from the drawer.
It seems that everything started from seeing this diary...
"Hi, I'm Tom Riddle."
As if sensing something, the diary began to automatically display a series of writings made of black ink.
Astoria's pupils shrank suddenly and she almost screamed in shock. After a long time, she slowly got out of bed and sat at the desk, taking out her quill and trying to write something in her diary.
"I'm Astoria, maybe you can tell me why I dream about you so much? And...
Who is Helena? "
As Astoria's handwriting disappeared on the paper, the deathly silence lasted for a long time. Just when Astoria thought Tom would not answer, a short paragraph finally slowly appeared on the paper.
"Helena, she is the most important friend in my life."
A few words still seem unable to express the complex and sincere emotions between the two. Astoria lowered her eyes, her long and thick eyelashes trembling slightly, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed across her eyes.
No matter how much he asked, Tom couldn't say anything.
Astoria could only give up and look at Rosa sleeping soundly behind her, hugging the doll insecurely. Astoria continued to raise her pen.
"Then maybe Mr. Riddle, you know the truth about the Chamber of Secrets and petrification?"
Thinking of the panic that everyone has felt throughout the year and the victims who were literally petrified. For some unknown reason, Astoria still asked this question.
Astoria answered with another long silence. For a long time, when Astoria closed the diary and was about to give up, the rabbit paw prints on the cover suddenly bloomed with bright white light, turning Astoria's eyes The whole thing is attracted.
The next second, darkness returned to the dormitory again, and the girl who was sitting at the desk was nowhere to be seen.
