HP Dual Masters and I had a blast in Hogwarts.

Chapter 277 Missing someone, I went straight there.

When I woke up the next day, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the window and gently fell on my face.

I vaguely recalled the pale blue letter that Lucius had given me yesterday on behalf of someone.

I slowly sat up and reached into my backpack to take out the letter.

The pale blue envelope had a dreamlike quality, and the handwriting on it was elegant yet strong, clearly Riddle's handwriting.

My heart started racing for no reason. With a mix of anticipation and nervousness, I slowly opened the letter.

The letter was unfolded, and beautiful handwriting came into view; it was a love letter written by Riddle expressing his longing for her.

His words were filled with his longing for me.

He recounted how, during those solitary moments, my smile and my voice repeatedly surfaced in his mind. He described every instant we spent together, even the smallest things, which became incredibly precious in his writing.

I can almost see him sitting under the dim light late at night, writing these words stroke by stroke.

He is usually so calm and rational, as if everything is under his control, but in this letter, I saw the soft side of his heart, the Riddle who would toss and turn at night because he missed someone.

The more I looked, the more my lips curled up, and a sweet feeling spread through my heart.

Oh my~ No one can resist the temptation of a man who knows how to be charming.

All the care and concern he showed me before now has a deeper meaning.

I felt as if I were in a beautiful dream, surrounded by all the little moments we shared.

I imagine his feelings as he wrote this letter, perhaps just as joyful as I am now.

Although he always appears aloof, he is just like any other person when it comes to matters of the heart, possessing delicate emotions.

It was worth it for me to give him a hand and prevent him from becoming that crazy Voldemort.

After reading the letter, I carefully folded it and put it back in the envelope.

This letter is like a precious treasure; I will cherish it dearly.

I got up and walked to the window. The sunlight shone on me, warm and comforting.

I gazed at the scenery outside the window, my heart filled with happiness.

I'm starting to look forward to my next meeting with Riddle. When I do, I'll make sure to tell him that I miss him just as much.

"Young Master, the two ice crystal coffins you informed us about have been properly preserved." As soon as I stepped into the dining room, Butler Chen moved a chair for me and said this.

"Alright, from now on, you'll give them a bath every day in the medicinal baths I prepared in the basement. You'd better be careful and don't let anyone know." I instructed while eating the food that Butler Chen brought me.

"Yes, young master." Butler Chen stood respectfully beside me.

The time is almost up; it's time to put Lily and James's awakening on the agenda.

After I finished breakfast, I walked towards my library.

I walked alone in the quiet villa corridor, the carpet beneath my feet so soft it almost swallowed my footsteps silently. The wall lamps cast a dim, yellowish light, casting lonely shadows along the long corridor.

The villa is huge, so huge that it seems to contain my entire life, yet it also seems to contain nothing at all.

With each step, the subtle sound of my shoes rubbing against the carpet was amplified infinitely in the silence, like the beating of my lonely heart.

The sound struck my eardrums again and again, reminding me of my utter loneliness.

I used to think that owning such a luxurious villa was a symbol of happiness, but after actually moving in, I found that in this huge space, apart from the expensive furniture and gorgeous decorations, there was not a trace of warmth.

A ray of cool sunlight shone through the window at the end of the corridor, but it still felt a little chilly on me.

I stopped, leaned against the wall in the corridor, closed my eyes, and tried to find some comfort in the shadows.

In this quiet corridor, I can calm down, examine my inner self, and contemplate the meaning of life.

I began to understand that true happiness does not come from the accumulation of material possessions, but from warm interpersonal relationships, and from inner satisfaction and peace.

I took a deep breath, opened my eyes, and decided to walk out of this lonely corridor to find the warmth I had forgotten and to embrace the everyday joys of life again.

Because I know that only in this way can I truly escape loneliness.

I vaguely remembered the letter I read this morning, and I was thinking about someone. I'm not one to procrastinate, so I just took out the door key hanging around my neck and sent it over.

In that gloomy and mysterious room, Riddle was presiding over the meeting with a cold expression.

His subordinates around him all looked tense, barely daring to breathe, focused intently on the meeting's content.

The dim lighting and the flickering shadows on the walls created a somber and oppressive atmosphere.

Riddle maintained a serious expression, his eyes sharp as an eagle, scanning each of his subordinates as he assigned tasks in a deep and authoritative voice.

Suddenly, a faint yet unique fluctuation of magical energy, like a fine thread, gently touched his keen senses.

His face, which had been as hard as ice, changed instantly.

The corners of his mouth slowly turned up, revealing a faint smile that seemed to hold endless meaning and joy.

This subtle change in expression, however, was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating huge ripples in the surrounding area.

His men, who were sitting nearby, had been listening intently to his instructions with their heads down.

Upon noticing Riddle's sudden change, they all looked up simultaneously, their eyes wide as saucers, their faces filled with shock and fear, as if they had seen the most terrifying ghost.

They were filled with doubt and confusion. In this tense and serious meeting, Riddell, who was known for his ruthlessness, had never been seen to show such an expression.

That smile was more terrifying to them than any terrifying magic.

Some people secretly wondered if some major plan was about to succeed.

Or did they encounter some powerful and troublesome enemy?

Every thought made their hearts race, and cold sweat involuntarily broke out on their foreheads.

Riddle seemed oblivious to his subordinates' reactions, basking in the joy brought by the magical fluctuation.

This fluctuation means someone has actually come to my location.

He sat quietly, a smile always on his lips.

Meanwhile, his men could only watch nervously from the sidelines, not daring to utter a sound, their hearts filled with fear of the unknown and awe of Riddle.

"Lucius, did you find what I asked you to find?" Riddle was in a good mood and looked at Lucius Malfoy with a smile.

“Master, I already know where that memory orb is,” Lucius Malfoy replied respectfully.

"Then you should arrange for someone to retrieve that memory orb for me. I'm quite curious about its contents." Riddle was quite interested in the rumors circulating about his fated showdown with a little kid, and now he wanted to know the details.

“Yes, Master.” Lucius felt that this task was not difficult and that he could handle it.

"You can handle whatever manpower you need yourselves. Meeting adjourned now." Riddle was getting impatient; none of his subordinates were as attractive as his lover.

"Yes." Everyone knew that their master was telling them to leave.

Except for Bella, everyone else stood up and left the meeting room.

"What are you still doing here?" Riddle frowned as he looked at the woman who was still sitting.

“Master, I want to stay and serve you.” Bellatrix Lestrange said with a cryptic smile.

"Get out!" Riddle suddenly said to Bella in annoyance. This woman had completely ruined his good mood.

“Master…” Bellatrix Lestrange really didn’t know what was wrong. She just wanted to serve her master, so why was her master suddenly angry?

“Get out of my villa right now, and don’t let me see you again.” Riddle had already pulled out his wand and pointed it at Bellatrix Lestrange’s face.

“I’m sorry… Master… please forgive my unreasonable request.” Bellatrix Lestrange finally realized her mistake and immediately disappeared from the conference room.

Riddle was the only one left sitting in the entire conference room.

“Riddle is really popular~ People even beg to serve you~” I suddenly appeared behind Riddle and put my hands on his shoulders.

He shuddered, clearly startled by the sudden touch.

But soon he realized that his lover had just witnessed him scolding Bella and driving her away.

At this moment, his heart was filled with longing for his beloved whom he had not seen for many days.

Without hesitation, he grabbed my hand that was resting on his shoulder and pulled me into his arms with a little force.

He held me very tightly, as if afraid I would disappear in the next second.

All the longing I've felt over the past few days was released in this hug.

"El, I miss you so much." He whispered in my ear, his voice low and trembling slightly.

I could feel his warm breath on my neck, tickling me but filling my heart with warmth.

I leaned against him, feeling his strong chest and powerful heartbeat.

After being apart for so many days, I miss him just as much. "I miss you too, Tom."

I responded softly and wrapped my arms around his waist.

He hugged me tighter, as if trying to meld me into his body. "These days without you by my side have been unbearable," he murmured, his chin gently nuzzling the top of my head.

I looked up slightly at his handsome face, which always carried a hint of coldness.

At this moment, his eyes were full of tenderness, no longer displaying his usual cold and aloof demeanor.

"I'll come to see you more often in the future," I promised.

He gently kissed my forehead and said, "That would be best. If you were gone for this long again, I don't know what I might do." His tone was slightly teasing, but I knew he meant it.

We embraced tightly, savoring this hard-won moment of reunion.

Everything around them seemed to quiet down, and time seemed to stand still, leaving only the sound of their heartbeats and soft breathing.

After a long while, he slowly let go of me, but his hands remained on my shoulders, and he looked at me tenderly.

"When you saw me yell at Bella and she left today, did you think I was a bit fierce?" he asked.

I gently shook my head and said, "Fierce? How could that be? Bella really doesn't know her place."

A faint smile appeared on his lips. "As long as you understand me, that's enough." With that, he pulled me into his arms again, as if to freeze this warm moment forever.

Afterwards, Riddle and I chatted intimately for a while, and then he took my arm and led me out of their meeting room.

As they walked, he led them astray, and they ended up in his lounge, where they embraced and kissed.

His lips, burning hot, gently pressed against mine, like a long-lost traveler finally finding a warm harbor.

I closed my eyes slightly, feeling his breath enveloping me, and every cell in my body seemed to be cheering with joy.

His hand gently rested on my waist, pulling me tightly into his arms, as if afraid I would suddenly disappear.

In this tranquil lounge, time seemed to stand still.

The noise outside the window was shut out through this door, leaving only the sounds of our breathing and heartbeats intertwined.

His kiss grew more and more passionate, as if he wanted to convey all his emotions to me through it.

I could feel his deep affection; it was a passionate and unwavering love.

His tongue gently pried open my lips and teeth, and intertwined with mine.

Each touch felt like an electric current, coursing through my entire body and making me tremble.

I gripped his shoulders tightly with both hands, as if only in this way could I maintain my balance in this surging tide of emotions.

After the kiss, our foreheads touched, and our breathing became a little rapid.

He looked at me with those deep and captivating eyes, his gaze full of tenderness and love.

“You know, every time I see you, I feel like a star that has been illuminated,” he said softly, his voice deep and magnetic.

My face flushed slightly, and I gently leaned into his arms.

His embrace was warm and firm, making me feel incredibly safe.

In this small lounge, we felt as if we were in a world that belonged only to us, free from the disturbances of the outside world, where only our love for each other flowed.

He gently stroked my hair and said tenderly, "I wish time could stand still at this moment, so I could hold you like this forever."

I nodded slightly, my heart filled with reluctance.

But I know that reality won't let us stay immersed in these wonderful moments forever.

However, this brief yet passionate kiss will forever remain deep in my memory, becoming the most precious treasure in my heart.

“I’m planning to sleep here tonight,” I said to Riddle with a smile.

"Really?" Riddle's smile hadn't faded since he saw me, and now that he heard I was staying tonight, he was even happier.

"Yeah, I'm planning to keep you company tonight." I had already decided to spend some quality time with Riddle tonight when I teleported here.
