Chapter 138 Exploration
Della knew the four Slytherin boys who were unconscious at first, especially the arrogant leader Gullam Abate.
He was tall, with woolly chestnut hair, gray eyes, and a straight nose. He looked very handsome, but this boy with a face that looked even a little childish was the person Della hated most among the students.
It was he who first combined Death Eaters and Muggles into a second-year girl like her.
And this was just a common thing for Abate. He made no secret of the fact that he was a purist. Although he seldom got into fights, as a person who was always surrounded by people, one or two words from him could cause great trouble to others.
Someone was lucky, but Aryan stopped Abate's gang from causing trouble for Della, and privately reprimanded them for their remarks.
Arrian did all this without Della's knowledge, but Della was more perceptive than Arrian imagined. However, she didn't want to get involved in anything, so Della didn't even tell Maggie.
She didn't hide it on purpose, but she didn't share this matter that made her feel a little unhappy but didn't care too much about it. Della had no doubt in her heart that Maggie valued her.
When she saw Abate's gang being carried away covered in mud, Della pondered the heir's intentions and immediately determined that Maggie must have known about the boys' rude assumptions about her.
She then sorted out a little idea. The heir wanted to do something with some people, but the candidates were probably recommended by Maggie with personal emotions.
Well, maybe what happened was also due to Maggie's instigation.
But Maggie could not have imagined that the girl whom he had tried so hard to push away from the incident would bump into it herself.
Perhaps Maggie hasn't realized yet that he still treats Della as a child, so she hasn't yet intuitively realized that people with their personalities will never allow themselves to be manipulated by others.
Della thought about the unconscious bully, and in a happy mood she remade the glasses that could observe souls. Just as she guessed, the bullies' souls were much thinner than those of others. Someone had forced his way into their souls and taken away part of their souls.
Della immediately realized that, just like in first grade, she was still the most ideal and the one who should be won.
But it would be so boring if one trick could be played from beginning to end.
At that time, Della had her own plan. Maggie didn't let her join in, but she could let Maggie join in.
This is a child's privilege in front of their elders.
"How could you move!? Did you do this? You mudblood, I'm warning you, let me go! My grandfather will not let you go!"
Under the dormitory's unique ginger-yellow light, four people were stacked in a Slytherin four-poster bed. Only Abbott, the one at the bottom, was awake, but he could not move at all. He could only stare with bulging eyes and bloodshot eyes at Della, who had appeared on the other bed next to him and sat up.
"..." Della glanced at him coldly without replying. She walked around in this ordinary Slytherin dormitory for two. There were a lot of things in the room. It was not tidy but there was order. It was obvious that it was a room where someone lived.
There were many books on the desk that had obviously been read many times. Della walked to the desk amid Abate's curses and threats. In the middle of the desk was an open diary, with a feather pen next to it still dripping with fresh ink, and a short sentence written on it.
【Welcome to explore my past】
It was Riddle's handwriting. Della took a quick glance at it, reached out to touch the feather pen, and quickly let go after feeling the suction. She then tried to pull a book out of the bookshelf, but only encountered a barrier.
"Hey! I'm talking to you! Can you hear me?! Can you hear me..." Abate's hoarse voice gradually faded away, and a strange and cowardly tone came out of his mouth, "Let me out... No, talk to me... I'm going crazy, talk to me, please..."
Della looked at Riddle's dormitory for a while, wondering if she had been put into the young man's memories, and then walked towards him amid Abate's incoherent curses and pleas.
Abate's pupils were already a little dilated. Compared to the three unconscious followers beside him, he was forced to endure countless days and nights of loneliness without moving, and endured the loneliness that destroyed his will when he didn't know what he had done wrong.
Isn't this just like those students who were ostracized and ridiculed by him?
Della thought so and watched with interest Abate's face, which was covered with snot and tears and no longer had the youthful vigor. The corners of her mouth did not even curl up, she just watched quietly, thinking about the difference between Abate's current face and the distraught expressions of those who were bullied by him.
Well, there's not much difference, it just feels a little uglier.
She smiled and finally spoke to Abate, "Just like you said, Senior Gulem, lowliness and nobility should not be in the same place. You often complain about the dirtiness and crowds in school, so enjoy the cleanliness and spaciousness that you deserve here for a while."
Abate's eyes opened even wider, his eyeballs seemed to fall out, and he could no longer make a sound. He looked at Della as if he was looking at a devil.
Della didn't want to stay here and torture Abate, although she thought it might be interesting to watch a bully have a mental breakdown, but she had more important things to do, so before Abate started yelling again, she turned and walked towards the dormitory door.
"You disgusting half-blood, bitch!" Abate cursed again, but as Della's unrequited back went farther and farther away, he begged again, "Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong... Even if you scold me, don't leave me alone..."
"pat-"
Della closed the door gently, completely isolating herself from Abate's annoying voice.
As soon as she closed the door, Della immediately began to reflect on herself. While looking at the place in front of her, which was no different from the Hogwarts she was in, except that the color was darker, she felt that her attitude towards Abbott just now was too bad.
Abate is a bully and a scumbag, but she herself is not the kind of person who would step on someone whenever she gets the chance. Even if she wanted to, it would be too cheap to do it in front of him.
This is Riddle's memories, which are related to his soul. He allows outsiders to explore his soul, and also looks for opportunities to delve into the souls of visitors.
So confident.
Della, who understood the abnormality, sighed and continued to explore her memories, and soon found the first abnormal point.
At the door of the deserted women's bathroom on the second floor, a Gryffindor red scarf was hung on the door, swaying as if beckoning people to come in.
