Chapter 127 The Half-Blood Prince 18
"Wait for me, Ender!"
He walked across the common room, past Ron and Hermione, who were still staring at him in surprise, and Riddle chased all the way outside the portrait of the fat woman before he caught him.
"Let go." He turned his head, and Riddle immediately let go of his sleeves, raising his hands in a show of innocence.
"Ender, listen to me, Harry didn't do it on purpose..."
"He didn't do it on purpose, so he can do it?" He immediately asked, "Because he didn't care, he can't be responsible for his actions?"
"I know what he did was wrong." Riddle said patiently, "He also knows that he was wrong, so why don't you forgive him this time?"
"I didn't unforgive him, I just didn't want to stay there anymore." He didn't know what would happen to him if he continued to stay in the dormitory.
"What are you angry about?" The other party sighed, "You're not happy, I understand, after going through something like that, you must hate people casting a spell behind your back. But it's just a small spell, even if you get hit It won't do anything to you—"
"So you think, as long as he doesn't succeed in murdering me, I should let him do that?"
"That's not what I meant." Riddle sighed again. "Harry won't murder you, you know that."
"He doesn't 'want' to murder me," he said emphatically. "It doesn't mean that what he wants to do won't do me any harm. He's immature, he doesn't think about the consequences of his actions, and he does this to me. How I feel, he didn't think about it at all-it's not important at all, right? He only cares about his own happiness, convenience, and he doesn't need to care about me at all, right? In his heart, I just An insignificant existence."
"He is short-sighted, it's not that he doesn't think about it, he just—"
"——didn't take me to heart," he said.
"Come on, you know Harry's not like that."
"I've had enough. I've had enough of his willfulness and immaturity. Who of you likes to continue to endure this? Go ahead and don't pull me in." He raised his wand and forced Riddle back who wanted to get closer . "I know that Harry's heart is not bad, but it doesn't mean that I have to be with him. I have the right to choose the life I want, and I have the ability to make such a choice."
"Calm down first, okay?" Riddle comforted softly. "You don't want to stay in the dormitory, so spend the night somewhere else first, and I'll ask Harry to apologize to you tomorrow, then don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"I'm calm now. I don't need his apology, he didn't mean it, right? He didn't mean anything, so why should he apologize? He made his choice and I made mine, He paused for a moment before saying, "That is to get out of here."
"You care about him, don't lie to me, and don't lie to you. No matter what Harry is, you love him from the bottom of your heart. Why do things that you regret? You fight him like this, and you can't let him go in the end." It’s you who drove him, isn’t it?”
"Not anymore." His last ties to the place had been severed when he caught Harry cursing him. "Not anymore."
He turned to leave, and Riddle called after him, "Where are you going?"
He didn't answer, and walked alone to the principal's office.
"I'm surprised to see you at this time, why aren't you in the dormitory?" Dumbledore asked pretending to be puzzled.
"I'm here to apply for withdrawal, Professor." He glanced at the wall, where the portraits of the principals were whispering to each other.
"Please sit down." Dumbledore waved his sleeves and summoned a comfortable-looking upholstered armchair in front of the desk. "May I ask why first?"
"I have no reason to stay here. And I'm more needed elsewhere."
"May I know where that is?"
With a wave of his wand he summoned a newspaper which Mr Diggory had left in the headmaster's office on the first day of school.
"I understand." Dumbledore lightly rested his intact hand on the newspaper, "But I must regret to inform you that I cannot grant this request."
"Why? You granted Hannah Abbott's request to withdraw from school." He knew very well that Dumbledore's life was also very difficult during this period, and the parents of Sister Padma also hoped to pick up their children back.
"Hannah's parents came to me to apply for expulsion, not herself." The principal said in a businesslike tone. "It is obvious that your guardian did not make a corresponding request."
"I don't have a guardian, so I have no right to withdraw from school?" he demanded. "I thought that after passing the OWLs, students have the right to decide whether they will stay or not."
"You have the right, of course." The principal choked, "but I have to confirm that this decision is the result of deliberation, not impulse. I noticed that you received this information at the beginning of school, but at that time You didn't decide to leave, what made you change your mind?"
"Do I have to explain?"
"Well, if you don't tell me, I can't confirm that your withdrawal request is reasonable."
"I think this request is a violation of my *."
There was silence in the office.
"Then, unfortunately, I cannot agree." Finally the headmaster said so.
"You're trying to force me to leave school by unofficial means." He tightened his grip on his wand.
"I know that you have learned from your classmates some secret ways to the outside of the school, but please believe me, those places are guarded by Aurors, and you cannot pass through."
"I haven't tried it, how can you be so sure?"
Dumbledore folded his hands wearily, "Why are you so determined to leave?"
"I have this right, and I am willing to use this right, isn't that enough?"
The principal sighed, took off his glasses, wiped them, and put them on again. "There is no similar precedent before this. I have to consult the board of directors. It will take about one to three days. During this period, I hope you can carefully consider your request."
"Three days." He stood up, "If I don't get an affirmative answer after three days, I will find a way to leave here on my own, regardless of any cost."
He was about to leave when the headmaster stopped him again, "You know that Voldemort's power is extremely strong outside the school. His minions are not only in Britain, but also in Europe, North Africa, and America. It may not be a wise idea to leave the school." s Choice."
"If he dares to harm me, I will kill him. If his men dare to attack me, I will kill them. I will do it." He opened the door and left the principal's office.
He didn't want to go back to the dormitory, and he didn't want to go to the Room of Requirement, where Riddle was probably waiting, so he went straight out of the castle and walked to the edge of the Black Lake.
A deep sense of exhaustion welled up in his heart, why no matter where he went, the war always followed him?
He immediately realized what the Queen was talking about: Malfoy's plan to murder Dumbledore.
He thought for a moment, then asked,
He couldn't figure out what that meant, was it that the necklace had been confiscated, or that the necklace had not been handed to Dumbledore but to someone else?
He felt relieved.
He quickly denied it.
He felt speechless for a while, and suddenly remembered that Voldemort seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the queen, so he asked,
He wasn't sure what exactly Voldemort was trying to do, was he trying to create more wizards?But he felt that the Death Eaters would not accept a man-made wizard like him, or did Voldemort think the Zerg was also a threat?If he kept the cocoon hidden in the bucket bag, Voldemort couldn't eliminate the threat.
He thought about it,
