Chapter 81: Prophecy

It was completely dark when I came out of the cave, and a thin layer of mist appeared on the sea. Mu Yu crushed the teleportation talisman on the huge rock. She was still very weak and did not even have the strength to activate the teleportation array. They quietly returned to the room on the second floor of Riddle's old house. In the darkness, only the sound of Nagini crawling on the wooden floor could be heard.

She lit the fireplace, and the firelight cast on the pale face, and also reflected Tom Riddle's soul, which had become a little more transparent. The warmth of the fire gradually dissipated the coldness brought from the cave, and she nestled comfortably in the armchair and yawned lazily. She was already very tired.

Nagini sensed her presence and climbed onto her knees, never wanting to move again. Mu Yu gently stroked Nagini's head, slowly adjusting to the surging energy in her body.

Little Hangleton is very quiet at night, especially since this old house standing far away on the hillside blocks out the crowing of chickens and dogs in the village.

She knew that Tom was nearby, and she didn't know whether it was because he also needed to recuperate his soul or for some other reason, but he was also surprisingly quiet.

Such special tranquility can only be experienced in the small buildings in Mingyuan Mountain. Since my grandfather passed away, the small building in Mingyuan Mountain is no longer the original small building.

In such an atmosphere, she sorted out her energy a little faster.

"It's not nothing tonight," she said when Nagini was about to fall asleep. "Regulus Black deceived you, and we can also deceive other people who covet Horcruxes. The mechanism of the cave needs to be modified and weakened. A person's will is more effective than weakening his body. As long as a person is a person, there will be inner demons. "

Tom Riddle stood in front of the burning fireplace: "The person you are talking about is Dumbledore."

He was extremely sure. Only Dumbledore, the nosy old guy, knows his past best and is most likely to dig out his secrets.

Mu Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Nagini, acquiescing to his conclusion.

Tom Riddle turned around and squatted down to look straight at Mu Yu. Mu Yu's fingers tapped lightly on the armchair. She couldn't help but wonder how long it had been since Tom looked at someone from such an absolutely equal perspective.

"You won't be soft on Dumbledore, will you?"

He ran his hand through the ends of her hair, as if to touch her forehead. Mu Yu held the cold jade pendant around her waist. She stared at the red eyes in front of her for a long time before saying, "No."

Tom Riddle showed a smile, even though his face had been enchanted again and again. Shattered after the transformation, she was still in a trance for a moment. He seems to still be the handsome young man kept in the diary, with ruthlessness and unscrupulousness hidden under his handsome and gentle appearance.

This was the Tom she knew, and he probably never changed.

Before he could take any further action, Mu Yu had already stood up and walked to the dusty canopy bed. Now every cell in her body was longing for sleep. With a flick of the wand, the shabby canopy bed was covered with fresh white sheets and covered with a fluffy quilt. At this time, the last flame in the stove jumped twice and made a crackling sound, and finally went out slowly.

Thin moonlight filtered in through the window, and a warm yellow halo flowed quietly on the wall.

When she actually lay down, she couldn't fall asleep. Tom did not enter the jade pendant. He stood at the head of the bed, as if he was studying some difficult problem. Mu Yu was particularly uncomfortable with it. She turned over several times, but she could feel his presence all the time.

"Your soul is still inseparable from the warmth of the jade pendant."

"That old man is not that strong," he seemed not to understand what she meant, "His nobility and ability are his weakest points."

Maybe. It was the fusion of souls that made him more rational, or maybe he was really thinking about something. No matter what, Mu Yu would not care about it, let alone praise or belittle it wantonly.

He understands right and wrong, and there are many things that don't need to be explained between the two of them.

"Muggles are a stain on the wizarding bloodline. Creatures like house elves are still lowly." He leaned closer, the red light in his eyes getting stronger. "But I will gladly take whatever the old man has. I To let him die surrounded by hatred and hatred, he will taste everything I suffered in Albania."

It seems that Regulus Black's betrayal has stimulated him a lot.

She didn't need to say anything at this time. She knew Tom so well that even one syllable at this time was sympathy in his eyes.

Her presence is enough.

So it was rare for her to take the initiative to get so close to him. If he had a body, she must have been leaning on him at this time.

Such an action obviously pleased him. He didn't often show emotions, and only Mu Yu could instantly capture the subtle changes in his emotions: "Dumbledore did one thing right. He didn't hand you over to anyone else." He tried to hold her tightly, but could only rub her hair over and over again, "and indirectly pushed you to my side. "Yu, come with me."

There were only two people there, and no shouting could be heard . place to end.

She closed her eyes and finished his words silently.

"As you wish."

The remaining days of the Easter vacation were extremely quiet. Mu Yu almost stayed in the room on the second floor to deal with heavy schoolwork or continued to imitate Kunlun Academy's formation-breaking methods. She occasionally took Nagini with her. Go out for a walk. Peter seemed very happy that she could watch over Nagini temporarily. He never dared to say another word to her.

The holidays always fly by.

"You won't come back during the summer vacation."

"I will go directly to Kunlun Ruins and come back with Phoenix Pine." At night, there were no lights in the room on the second floor of Riddle's old house, but it was emitting bright warm light. Mu Yu continued to write the Potions class paper under the warm light. 15 inches, assigned to her paper alone, Snape must have gone crazy.

"The introduction to this paragraph needs to be simplified." Tom Riddle pointed his slender finger at the paragraph Mu Yu had just completed, and the characters on the paper were automatically modified, "The basic potion of fusion agent alchemy, Severus Snape, is very important." Take care of you."

"This is not a good thing. If I were you, I would not trust him."

"If he does not come to me in time when I am resurrected, then he has chosen his allegiance again and he will definitely be executed. , I'm sorry. Severus was a loyal servant.

"Time will change everything, especially after he stayed with Dumbledore for so many years. Even if he came back and cried for forgiveness." I won't believe him easily. He makes me uneasy, Tom." Mu Yu frowned, the paper in her hand was almost over.

Tom Riddle didn't want her to keep talking about Severus Snape with him, and he didn't like her mentioning the other person too much in front of him.

"I only believe in the power of Legilimency." He said coldly.

Mu Yu could tell that he didn't want to discuss Snape too much. After all, this was his former subordinate, and she would not dwell on this point. Besides, it was still too early to draw conclusions about Snape. She continued to focus on the paper in her hands, surrounded only by the rustle of quills and parchment.

"Yu," Tom Riddle suddenly called her softly in the silence, as if he wanted to say something, but stopped suddenly.

Mu Yu waited for him patiently. Tom will speak out one day when he wants to, just like his experience interviewing for the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position, just like that prophecy. And when he doesn't want to say it, no one can force him.

"You must come back alive from Kunlun Ruins." He still didn't have much emotion, it was like a cold command.

She had just finished writing the last word of the paper at this time, and extinguished all the light in the room with a wave of her hand. Tom Riddle couldn't see Mu Yu's expression clearly in the darkness, but he could feel the vagueness in her tone that came from unknown sources. brisk.

"I will."

The troubles came one after another after returning to Hogwarts.

Mu Yu was sitting in the corner of the library. In front of her were piles of thick books, and the isolation array blocked her voice extremely well. She rubbed her brows and turned the page of the book.

Throughout April and May, everyone was busy reviewing, and this was also the heaviest time of the year. And she still has to do more extra things, continue to study spells, consolidate her cultivation that has been unstable since Easter, seek ways to break the formation, and silently pay attention to the trends on the other side of the ocean. She had just gotten some clues about how to break the formation when she received news from Avides.

"Abuse of magic," Arvidus shrugged. "Ever since Rita Skeeter's article I've been preparing to cover it up. But I didn't expect the International Confederation of Wizards to move so quickly."

"Someone pay attention to Norway . "Rita Skeeter's article was just a trigger," Mu Yu said directly, "Try to be careful during this time and pay attention to the house elves."

"You said exactly the same thing as him," Avides' face twisted. After a moment, he quickly regained his composure, "Abuse of magic is really a good reason. I have always wanted to use this reason to clean up that group of old stubborns."

There was cunning in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had deep grudges with the so-called old stubborns.

"It seems you have made a decision." Mu Yu was in a daze for a moment before he realized who he was.

"The production efficiency of weapons has improved so much, and our people have begun to involve other fields of Muggles," Avides always has indescribable excitement when mentioning research, "That group of people is simply the craziest. Scientist. You don't have to worry about the house elves. Each group of house elves is only responsible for a part of the production. Even if they communicate in private, they will not understand what they are doing. You must come to Norway again if you have a chance. "

Mu Yu can never understand the enthusiasm of such a group of people for research, and they are even willing to stay underground in Norway without light for decades.

"Very good. But I hope that any future research will not be known to outsiders. You are our most trusted group of people and will never let us down, right?"

She knew that there were some things that Tom would never say, even if it was a lie. willing.

The girl's face was calm and peaceful, but her words made Avides shudder even through the double-sided mirror.

"Please trust us, Miss Mu." He solemnly made a promise to her.

Mu Yu was noncommittal about his words. She didn't believe in people, she only believed in loyalty to her ideals. This did not prevent her from gently encouraging Avides: "Norway's situation and your previous position are destined to bear most of the pressure. Under such circumstances, you can still carry out new research and do a good job. If there is I will try my best to help you if you need anything."

Avides was very flattered: "You can hand over the spirit stone mine to us and reward the magic vein. As for the research, it is all within our scope. "

He noticed that there was an extremely complicated entanglement between Mu Yu and the Dark Lord, but he was unwilling to get involved, and it was beyond his control. All he needed to know was that their efforts would not be in vain, and that there was hope for the order they sought.

Mu Yu checked the time: "I have one last exam, I'm afraid I can't continue chatting with you. I wish you good luck, Mr. Swanstadt."

She cut off the double-sided mirror and reluctantly took it. Picking up the book to see through the fog and see the future, I walked towards the divination classroom. At this point she should take a page from Hermione's lead and drop the course before Easter.

She arrived a little late, and there were only a few people left on the spiral staircase outside the classroom. She caught sight of Ron and Harry who were frantically flipping through the fog to see the future. After learning that he had a godfather and that he would be going to the Quidditch World Cup with his godfather during the summer, Harry's previous depression disappeared.

Family love, especially lost and found family love, can always give people unlimited hope.

She walked over and sat with them: "I hope I didn't miss anything."

"Your name hasn't been called yet," Ron looked up from the textbook. He seemed to find someone to complain, "Trelawney He is just an old liar. She told everyone that you will be in great trouble in the future. "

I won't take the divination class next semester." She didn't like Trelawny, she wasn't used to it and wasn't particularly familiar with it. The classmate was discussing a teacher, so she just briefly and implicitly pointed out her opinion on the divination class.

"Wise decision, Yu." Ron muttered.

Ever since Mu Yu sat here, Harry found that clearing away the fog and looking at the future had never been so hot. He felt that the image he presented in front of her was always silly, which made him very uncomfortable. Mu Yu's black robe was spread out on the steps. She always looked so elegant and freehand. She held her chin up and stared into the distance without looking worried about the exam.

Harry had an impulse. He wanted to tell Mu Yu many things. He wanted to tell her about the thrilling night when they and Sirius returned to the castle and suddenly encountered hundreds of dementors. He wanted to tell her that Peter was eventually escorted to Az Caban escaped on the way, and he wanted to share his excitement with Mu. He finally has a family.

His impulse was quickly extinguished, and Mu Yu's only relative had passed away long ago.

The Divination classroom at the top of the tower was too hot in early summer.

At this moment, a vague voice came from the classroom: "Ron Weasley."

Ron cursed in a low voice and walked towards the classroom. Harry whispered to him: "See you in the common room."

However, when Harry was even more embarrassed after Ron came up. His back was soaked with sweat. Mu Yu still maintained the same posture and looked at the sky, as if there was something she cared about there.

Something had to be said, and Harry racked his brains to find a common language between them. The first word that came to his mind was Quidditch, but he quickly rejected it. She had never been interested in Quidditch.

"A few days ago, during the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam, the blasting spell you cast on the Boggart was very beautiful." Harry racked his brains to say this.

Mu Yu would show a light smile to everyone, but Harry had seen a different side of her. The white lie Mu Yu told him when they faced the Mirror of Erised together, and her fearlessness when facing the enemy, all indicate that Mu Yu is not as gentle and quiet as he appears.

"Thank you, Harry. You behaved very well too. Professor Luping appreciates you very much." Mu Yu always spoke like this, gentle and polite.

The warm wind in May passed through the tower at this time, blowing the hair on her forehead. She gently gathered her hair, and even such a simple action made her feel beautiful.

The previous embarrassment seemed to be blown away by the breeze at this time.

"Professor Luping is leaving," Harry said feeling a little depressed. "It was discovered that he was a werewolf."

Mu Yu already knew about this. Someone deliberately leaked Luping's identity. Parents and school directors Would a werewolf be allowed to stay at Hogwarts and teach? She knew who did it without even thinking.

"It's a pity that he is the only qualified teacher in three years."

Harry was about to say something to Mu Yu when Ron had already come down the stairs. He looked depressed. His exam results should be very bad. Trelawney's ethereal voice came from the classroom: "Harry Potter."

Harry couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. He paused briefly as he passed Mu Yu before walking up the stairs with heavy steps. The Divination classroom was no different from usual. There was a fire burning in the airtight room, and the smoky aroma made Harry cough. He walked past the messy tables and chairs towards Professor Trelawney, who was sitting behind a huge crystal ball.

"Hello, kid, please sit down and tell me what you saw in the crystal ball."

Harry had a headache and tried to make up patterns from the white smoke of the crystal ball. At this moment, he heard a loud and harsh sound. sound.

"The flower of the other side is about to bloom."

"You, what did you say?" Harry was unsure. Professor Trelawney sat upright, her mouth open and her eyes vacant.

"The flower of the other side that sprouts from the soil of sin will either grow toward the sun, or fall into the abyss and bloom for only one person. Warriors will keep fighting until the end of their lives. The sun will no longer rise, the order will be subverted, and the rules will be rebuilt."

Trelaw Ni's head dropped, and a purring sound came from her mouth. Her head quickly rose again.

"Oh kid, I'm sorry I took a nap, where were we at?"

Harry just stared at her blankly.

"You just said that the flower of the other side is about to bloom." Harry didn't know what kind of flower it was. "You said that it will either grow toward the sun or fall into the abyss, and that it will fight until the end of its life, subvert the rules, and reestablish order... "

Professor Trelawny was extremely shocked, and she said decisively: "My dear, you must have fallen asleep. I have no idea what you are talking about, and it is impossible for me to predict such an outrageous thing. I think we will arrive today. Here."

She almost pushed Harry out. Harry still had a puzzled look on his face until he walked out of the classroom. Did Professor Trelawney just make a real prophecy or was this just her unique test pattern?

When Mu Yu saw Harry getting up, he patted his robe and stood up: "How is it? , Harry."

Harry shook his head in confusion: "She kept talking to me about a lot of things, such as the flower of the other side, the abyss..."

Harry, who was deep in thought, did not see the horror in Mu Yu's eyes at this moment. , but she quickly calmed down all her emotions. When Harry looked up, Mu Yu just said softly: "This is her style."

She walked directly into the Divination classroom. It was actually very simple to cope with Trelawny's test. All he had to do was make up something specious and ominous to satisfy Trelawney.

It's just that this divination professor who has always been unreliable may have just made a real prediction. It's a pity that she didn't hear this prediction.

If you don't hear the best, prophecies will only make people misunderstand.

As she descended the spiral staircase, the tower was empty. The fiery red sunset is gradually sinking into the black lake. She leaned on the railing and looked at the setting sun in front of her, combing her hair that was messed up by the evening breeze. Dumbledore most likely knew about the prophecy, but she no longer cared.

The chess game had been set, and it was her first time playing the chess piece. Whether she failed or not was actually not that important to her.

Is the sunset in Kunlun Ruins as beautiful as blood
