HP Peter Can't Be That Cute

Chapter 117 Guilty Conscience

"Awake?" Following Riddle's voice, Alayya turned her head and looked. The guy was wearing a proper dress robe and was correcting something very upright at his desk. His hair was also combed into the kind of capable and majestic look that she had always seen in newspapers.

There was no trace of the rare fragility he had shown last night, and he had already returned to being the stern and unruly superior. When he heard that Alaiya had woken up, he did not even raise his head, and his eyes were still glued to the "official business" in his hands, as if the guy who had stuck to Alaiya like a dog-skin plaster last night was not him.

"Yes..." Alaiya was a little confused. Was it another shameful dream last night? But the kiss marks on her neck, arms, or back were not fake. Could he be shy? She didn't believe it.

"Dumbledore will come to pick you up after you finish eating." As Riddle spoke, the door opened and a group of house-elves came in, pushing a sumptuous breakfast and bowing respectfully to serve.

Alaia couldn't figure out what Riddle meant again, but it would be a good thing to leave here as soon as possible. At the same time, she was also a little angry. His weird attitude was too disrespectful. Although it was normal for him to have a weird temperament as the Dark Lord, she was not so good-tempered.

"No, I'm not hungry." Alayya put on her shoes and was about to leave, and at the same time stopped a house elf, "Tell me where I can take a shower, I feel so dirty."

"Click!" Riddle broke the gold-inlaid feather pen in his hand with one hand, and finally raised his noble head. With a gloomy face, he whispered, "You, say it again?"

"I said I'm leaving!" Alaia certainly felt the oppressive aura emanating from the Dark Lord. Did she think he was dirty? Once this thought came to her mind, Riddle wanted to grab her by the neck and ask her to take back what she had just said, but he couldn't.

She would be scared to death by him, she had always been timid, so he stood up and walked towards Alayya, wanting to give her another "dirty" kiss.

But Alaia reacted quickly, turned into a hamster, and instantly ran away into the crack in the floor, hiding until Dumbledore came to take her back to Hogwarts.

She could only hear Riddle's roar and the sound of things being broken on the floor. She could only comfort herself that it was definitely not because of her. She had not said anything when he "molested" her. Wasn't he very "indifferent" to her?

That would be great. She would never have to see him again, and avoid being "bullied" and having to endure his weird temper. She was not his woman, so did she have to spend the night with him and comfort him during the day?

What's giving Alayya the most headache right now is how to deal with the kiss marks on her neck. Although she is sure that her straight male brothers won't know about it, she is not sure if other people will know about it and tell her about it to tease her.

Alaia found a scarf and wrapped it around her neck with a nervous heart. She was almost dying of heat, so she followed Dumbledore back to Hogwarts.

Along the way, the old fox Dumbledore kept emphasizing how special Riddle was to her. She was so charming that Riddle paid "special attention to her" and was able to help him closely when he was injured. There must be an extraordinary friendship between them.

Alayya's mind was full of how to hide the strawberry mark, and she didn't say a word. Whenever Dumbledore asked, she would perfunctorily answer, "Oh, no, you're overthinking it..." Dumbledore had no choice but to find another opportunity.

Newt had been waiting in Dumbledore's office. He heard that Peter needed help with something and it was a secret mission that only she could carry out. Newt was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.

He also had the responsibility to explain to James and Sirius, because they all came to him to ask about Newt. Although Newt appeared very calm on the surface, he told them that Peter was very safe and would be back the next day.

But he couldn't help but feel nervous deep down. After all, he really couldn't bear it any more and separated from Peter again.

"You're back... ahem... Professor Dumbledore, you're back with Peter." Newt gave them a scare when they just came out of the fireplace. He rushed over so fast that he stepped on Dumbledore's foot, and Dumbledore bumped into Peter behind him.

"Yes, we are back. Good morning, Professor Newt. Did you sleep well last night?" Dumbledore looked at Newt's bloodshot eyes and asked the question knowingly.

"That's good, Professor. I'll take Peter to breakfast first." Newt couldn't wait to know what happened last night. When he saw Peter looking a little haggard, the relief he felt when he saw him was lifted up again.

"Newt!" After being wronged, when she saw Alayya who really cared about her, she instantly felt like crying. It was Newt who cared about her. He was really her good friend!

"Peter...you...were you bullied? Who bullied you? Tell me..." When Newt saw Alaiya's aggrieved expression as she pounced on him, anger instantly rushed to his heart. He never knew that he could be so tough and want to duel with others.

"I'm... fine." Alaia didn't want to get Newt and Riddle involved again. Although it might be difficult, at least it wasn't because of her. "Thank you for caring about me so much."

Newt gave Alaiya a big hug without saying a word. The pleasant smell of morning dew on his body made Alaiya feel a little intoxicated and she felt purified.

Fortunately, there are still normal people around her...

But it was this angle that allowed Newt to see the bright red strawberry mark on the back of her neck. Newt's heart trembled, and he quickly pulled off the scarf on her back. "What's wrong? Allergic reaction? Or was she bitten by a magical creature?"

"Ah?!" Alaiya jumped away, holding her neck. Unexpectedly, there was still something behind her neck. Her scarf just loosened. She explained in a panic, "This... This is a bug bite, right? I... I'm not really sure."

"I'll take you to apply the medicine." Newt didn't doubt Aleiya's words at all. He had seen many wounds caused by bites from magical creatures, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange one. He had to study it carefully and not let Peter feel uncomfortable.

But Dumbledore behind her gave her a probing look, which made Alayya look back guiltily at him before looking away. This strawberry mark should be very familiar to Dumbledore, right?

"I'm fine. I can just go back and take care of it myself." Alaiya evaded the question, but Newt carried her on his shoulders. "Don't be so willful!" Newt, who was always serious about this kind of thing, carried Alaiya on his shoulders and went to his office...
