[HP] I'm hanging out at Hogwarts

Chapter 141 Resurrection Stone Ring

Life at the Riddle House was very quiet, and Anne lived in this room for three days, and although Tom Riddle came to accompany her every day, she still felt that she had to go out to breathe fresh air.

She put on a black robe and walked barefoot on the dusty floor of the Riddle Mansion. The environment outside the room was not much better than the inside of the room, and there were even serious water leaks in some places. There was a skylight at the top of the hall, Light from outside can shine in.

Annie observed the portrait hanging on the wall. It looked like a family portrait, but all the faces on it were scratched.

This used to be a gorgeously decorated mansion. The outside garden is different from the inside. The garden seems to have been pruned last year, and there are even a few red roses inside.

"What are you looking at?" A strange man patted Annie on the shoulder, and Annie turned around in a jerk. It was a face of a man who was almost 30 years old, but the beard on his face was clean-shaven. When he approached him, He smelled faintly of tobacco.

"Hello, who are you?" Annie stepped back a little.

"Barty Crouch Jr., you are... Anne, I know you." Barty Jr. seemed to have seen a very funny farce. He was still teaching this child last year, and this child was still good at magic. He came up with some weird ideas to hold him back from killing his father.

He also sometimes thought that if old Barty Crouch hadn't resisted his Imperius Curse and hadn't run to tell Dumbledore the truth, maybe he could have spared his life.Whenever he fell asleep, he could always think of the tear that flowed from the corner of old Barty's eyes before he died.

He will never regret this kind of thing.

"Are there many people here?" Annie asked. "Sorry, I don't remember anything."

"There are indeed many people, everyone here is for the Duke of Darkness, he is our guide, he inherited Mr. Riddle's will, and after you and Mr. Riddle were killed, he has been fighting against Dumbledore. .”

Merlin knew how many times Barty Jr. and the other Death Eaters had recited this big lie before they remembered it.

She is obviously a pawn who will die after the plan is successful, but she wants all the Death Eaters to accompany her in acting.

"I don't know much about this place yet, and I've been hearing some strange noises lately," said Annie. "It started off as a hissing sound, and then it became..."

"What the hell! The soup pot is ignoring me! A few days ago, I was fisted by a hot silver-haired old man. It hurts so much!" Nagini's mood is not very beautiful, these days Big Tom and Little Tom always stays together, and no one else plays with her. I miss the time when I was still a human!

"Hmm... like this, a strange sound." Annie looked at little Batty's puzzled eyes and said. "It says it hurts."

"It's...Nagini's hiss." Barty Jr. pointed at the Viper that was sliding around in the corner. "Can you understand snake language?"

"Don't you understand?"

Damn... Jr. Barty suddenly felt that Annie's words were too embarrassing, but she still had to smile politely.

"Yes, not every wizard will be able to understand this. Some wizards are born to understand, which is a very precious talent, but some can also be learned." Barty Crouch Jr. said, "You don't have shoes Is it? It's cold on the ground."

"Actually, Mr. Crouch, this is not something you bother about." Tom Riddle's voice came from around the corner, and Barty Jr. bent slightly towards him.

"Mr. Riddle?" Before Annie had time to ask where he was, she was picked up, making her struggle in fright. Riddle did it in one go without much effort.

"I can go by myself!"

"You can tell me if you don't have shoes." He held Annie tightly in his arms, and exchanged glances with Barty Jr. Barty Jr. simply smiled and showed no signs of leaving.

Riddle carried Annie through the corridor of the outer courtyard, where you could see the fountain statues and green plants in the courtyard, the creepers were covered with black fountain sculptures, as if they had put on a dress, the water in the fountain was gray-green Yes, there are some duckweed on it.

"Do you want a gift? I haven't been able to promise you before, but now I can." Riddle pointed his wand at an unknown white flower, and the stem of the flower formed a neat circle, "This ring For you."

He slowly put the "ring" on Annie's hand. He observed the expression on Annie's face. She didn't blush, but was stunned.

"Why did you give me this?"

Tom Riddle sighed, "Because we once agreed, we got married after graduation. Who knew that this kind of thing would happen?"

The rain had just stopped and the sun came out. Annie went to the pool and saw a rainbow just in time. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to catch it, and the colorful light was exposed on her arm.

"You can't catch it," said Riddle, "but magic can." As he waved his wand, the end of the rainbow became a stream of colored lights that could be held in one's hand, but soon Disappeared.

"It's beautiful, thank you."

Annie picked it up and threw it into the sky. Because she was being held by Tom, her movement just now made her center of gravity unstable. She put her hands on Tom's shoulders, and the white flower ring stood out more clearly against his black clothes.Colorful light dust scattered over their heads and fell slowly, finally disappearing without a trace.

"Let's go, I made French crepes for you today." Riddle was stunned for a moment and coughed.

Damn, this is too childish.

They continued to walk towards the room, and Annie saw a snake-like face coming towards her, she felt very strange, it was such a terrifying face, but she was not afraid at all, just like seeing to an ordinary person.

Voldemort and Tom Riddle looked at each other. "Don't fall in," said Voldemort.

After speaking, he left quickly. He believed that he would not be immersed in the scene, but he was affected by Riddle's past memories, which made him more prone to anger.

He and Riddle's memories before the age of 15 are connected. Riddle's memory before the age of 15 has problems, and his is the same.

So Voldemort took away his memories before the age of 15, and it was much better.

It was already July, and Annie and Tom gradually became acquainted. The two would occasionally go out for a walk together. The snake-like face rarely appeared, and most of the time he was outside dealing with accidents.Bellatrix wasn't too friendly to Annie, but she wasn't too bad either, and she always gave the same cold snort every time.

Tom made Annie a new pair of shoes, just the right size, and when Annie asked him how he knew the size, he just laughed and said nothing.

From the old shoes she took off earlier.

Annie likes to play with Nagini very much. Although Nagini looks scary and is scary when eating small animals, he plays with Annie carefully with the tip of his tail every time.

"You're not as annoying as you used to be!" Nagini hissed, and Tom gave it a glare to signal it to shut up.

It almost revealed that Nagini had met Anne before, in the cemetery leading to the last level of the Goblet of Fire.

"I used to hate it? Did you bully Nagini?" Annie wanted to grab the tip of Nagini's tail, but Nagini's tail tip swayed restlessly, as if playing a capture game.

"No, it likes to talk nonsense," said Tom.

"It's so pitiful..." Nagini spit out the letter and crawled away, not knowing whether it was speaking to Anne or to Riddle.

"Annie, I may not be able to accompany you in the future." Tom looked into Annie's eyes, "My body can no longer support me, and I will disappear soon."

"How is it possible? You are here now." Annie grabbed his arm. "You've been fine these days."

"Cold, isn't it?" Riddle lowered her hand, "I can't last long in this state of soul, I have to find my other soul fragments. I buried them a long time ago, just to Waiting for you to come back."

"Then...then you go find them!" Annie said. "When you get them all back, you will be a whole soul."

"I'm not strong enough on my own, and... I need your help, Annie, can you help me?"

Annie couldn't refuse Tom Riddle's request. Tom put on a hat for Annie. "We won't be far away. Gaunt's old house is not far from Riddle's house."

"We're going to... Gaunt's old house?"

"It's a secret, can't you tell anyone?" Riddle put his finger on Annie's lips, and Annie nodded emphatically.

Annie didn't remember how long she and Riddle walked together, passing through barren withered grass and huge stones, occasionally meeting some old sheep herders, they looked at Riddle with strange eyes.

"Mr. Riddle, they've been watching you." Annie asked Tom Riddle quietly, but Riddle didn't answer her, but just quickened his pace, and kept asking her to confirm that she had brought a wand.

They finally came to Gaunt's old house, and the surroundings seemed peaceful, but Annie found that there seemed to be an invisible barrier here, because the plants near the mansion were all withered yellow or grayish white.

"Now, Anne, try to open this barrier." Tom stared straight at the door of Gaunt's old house, on which was nailed an S-shaped snake bone, which used to be a living snake.

He could feel that a Horcrux was here.

She tried for a long time with her wand, but she couldn't open the protective barrier in the right way, so she had to destroy it from the inside.Annie used her magic power to tear a hole in the barrier.

The air inside hadn't circulated for a long time, and there was a rotten smell of wood inside. Anne and Tom walked into the old Gaunt house, and as soon as they opened the crumbling door, Anne found a corpse lying there.

A yellowish skeleton, the fingers of the left hand are pointed tightly towards the roof, and there is a small ring on the index finger.

When Riddle saw the ring, there was nothing else in his eyes.He picked up the ring, and suddenly the skeletal hand grasped Tom's hand, and a puff of black smoke came out, but it couldn't hurt Tom, because he was a soul.

Annie saw Tom was busy. She stepped over the bones and went deeper into the old Gaunt house. There were many rooms with mud walls, and there was a place like a kitchen. Many pottery plates had a layer of mold or a layer of solid stains.

She continued walking and found a room full of spider webs, with only a bed, wardrobe and a dusty lamp inside.There is a small mural on the wall, which is very hidden, and the man on it looks very much like Tom.

"TM...even the initials are the same."

She is very curious, who is the owner of the room?She opened the closet, and the vixen from inside flew out. There were many simple gray skirts with "MG" embroidered with white thread on the corners.

Tom put away the ring, and the soul fragments inside had been absorbed by him, and now his body was no longer cold.

"Annie, we should go..." Tom had just finished speaking when he heard movement outside the door.Annie ran out of the room and saw Tom in the corridor, "We have to leave quickly, someone is coming."

She and Tom walked around from the back of the old house. While running, Annie looked back at the slowly closing back door, and an old man with white hair walked slowly into the house.

"Go." Tom dragged Annie to the outside of the barrier, picked up the wand and apparated.

.........

Dumbledore looked at the empty Gaunt's old house and the miserable corpse. Originally, he speculated from his memory that Voldemort would leave a Horcrux in Gaunt's old house, which might be the ring.

However, the index finger of the skeleton was empty.

Horcruxes are gone.
