[HP]Love and Hogwarts

Harry was also shocked by the news and froze in place - Riddle - once an orphan whose parents both died, grew up to kill his parents, and so many others... …A hatred suddenly rose in his heart.

He calmly and resentfully refuted Tom Riddle's claim that he was the greatest wizard in the world, saying that Dumbledore was the greatest in the world and could still scare Voldemort even 50 years later.

The smile on Tom's face disappeared. "I just used my memory to drive Dumbledore out of this castle." He said through gritted teeth.

Harry refuted his words again. This time he was not so confident. He just said casually, trying to scare him: "You are lucky, Dumbledore has not left!"

However, just when he finished saying this and Riddle was about to say something, the sound of music suddenly came from somewhere, and a big fiery red bird flew down from the sky with a tattered package hanging from its talons.

It's Phoenix! He brought a Sorting Hat.

What do you want to do? Sort Tom on the spot? Kahn looked at the Sorting Hat that was thrown on the ground like a rag with some confusion.

Forgive her, she hasn't read or heard any specific stories about the Sorting Hat, so she doesn't know the role of sending a Sorting Hat at this time.

If as an adult, the well-informed Tom Riddle would see the Sorting Hat and the Phoenix, he would immediately throw the Sorting Hat far away and never let it lie at Harry's feet.

But alas, here is 16-year-old Tom. As soon as he saw the wrinkled Sorting Hat, he laughed wildly and his whole body trembled with laughter.

"Is that what Dumbledore gave to the person he wanted to protect?" He gently wiped away the tears from laughter, "A singing bird and a broken hat! Harry Potter, what do you think? Do you have the guts? Do you feel safe?"

……

They started chatting again. Kahn yawned silently and found a convenient location to sit down close to Harry. When will the fight start? She thought with her chin in boredom.

Finally, when Kahn found it too cold to sit on the ground and used a levitating spell to float to the top of the huge statue, Tom Riddle sorted out everything he wanted to know from Harry's fragmentary words.

"Okay, Harry, I'm going to give you a little lesson. Let's test our strength. On one side is Voldemort, the heir of Salazar Slytherin, and on the other side is Harry Potter, with Dumbledore. The best weapon you can give him." He glanced at the Sorting Hat at Harry's feet, and turned around with a smile.

Tom Riddle stopped in front of the statue at Kahn's feet and began speaking Parseltongue that she didn't understand.

As his words fell, the statue under his feet suddenly shook violently. Kahn did not return to Harry, but used a floating spell to fly into the air so that she could clearly see the location of the basilisk, and as soon as the basilisk was around She could immediately notice it by raising her head and close her eyes.

Unlike Harry who closed his eyes tightly and retreated hastily, she only found it extremely interesting at this moment. The statue with a human face opened its mouth, and a giant snake of more than twenty feet crawled out of the mouth. Harry was blindly Running away, Tom Riddle stood aside and laughed wildly. The scene was exactly like the ending of a third-rate horror movie that Burston secretly played for her on Mrs. Harriet's TV during the summer vacation.

The uninformed protagonist Harry did not think this was an easy and pleasant thing. He was extremely scared. He was not as big as a scale of the basilisk. Even if it didn't glare at him, it could crush him to death with a slap on its tail.

While escaping in a hurry, Harry tripped over his right foot and fell hard on the stone. His glasses flew out - luckily he couldn't use them now, and his mouth was cut. He stretched out his hands in front of him. Fumbling around, trying to pick up something to help him get out of his current predicament.

The attack did not fall, the phoenix swooped down from the sky and pecked out the eyes of the basilisk. Harry escaped temporarily, but this did not help him. Without his eyes, the basilisk could still smell his scent. The phoenix harassed the basilisk in the air, making it unable to find Harry immediately, but the basilisk's tail almost swept him several times.

"Help me - help me -" Harry whispered at a loss. He was only a twelve-year-old boy. He had the courage to go down here for his classmates and was already a well-deserved hero. After all, even Loha Turdu just glanced at the basilisk's shed skin and collapsed to the ground.

"Who can save me, no matter who it is!"

The basilisk moved slowly towards Harry, and he could even see the afterimage of its tail waving towards him. Tom Riddle is laughing again...

--well? Not smiling? Harry was stunned for a moment and pricked up his ears. Not only did Riddle not smile, the basilisk also stopped suddenly. Its huge head stopped less than one meter away from it, unable to take another step forward.

"Harry, there seems to be something in the Sorting Hat?" Kahn's calm voice sounded from his ears.

He had to say that it was the most beautiful - the most beautiful - sound he had ever heard in his life.

"Ka——" Over there, Tom Riddle had just opened his mouth and covered his throat with his hands, staring at Kahn.

"Don't be dazed, the basilisk is moving again." Kahn reached out and turned Harry's head to the basilisk. The phoenix flew down and threw the Sorting Hat in Harry's arms.

Looking back and seeing the ferocious face of the basilisk, Harry reacted quickly. The Sorting Hat was heavy in his arms, and there seemed to be a voice in his heart guiding him. He reached into the hat and pulled out a gleaming silver sword. , the hilt of the sword is inlaid with a dazzling ruby ​​as big as an egg.

"Wow!" Kahn exclaimed with envy.

Still guided by that voice, he was no longer afraid of the basilisk. When the basilisk rushed in front of him again with its fangs open, he raised his sword and pierced its head directly from the upper jaw, with a deep wound. The hilt of the sword was also swallowed.

Tom stood in the distance with his eyes red with anger. He took out Harry's wand and used a silent spell to lift the silencing spell cast by Karn. However, as soon as he opened his mouth and no sound came out, Karn's lower body A silencing spell was accurately cast on him, and she also added: "Expelliarmus". As soon as the wand left her hand, she used a floating spell to return it to Harry's hand.

Harry couldn't believe that he had defeated the basilisk so easily. Harry dropped the sword in his hand and bent down to breathe heavily. Seeing that he had no time to look up, Kahn waved to Tom and said hello to him. .

Tom Riddle's eyes became even redder with anger.

But where did this go? Kahn pulled Harry and hid behind the basilisk's huge body to prevent him from having any other tricks. He poked his head out of the basilisk's back and watched his every move.

The basilisk is dead, the wand is gone, Harry still has Phoenix and Karn, and there is only one entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. The form tilts crazily to one side. It is really like beating a dog with a closed door in a realistic sense. Tom can't even escape.

Tom gave Kahn an ugly smile and scratched his mouth with his hand to indicate that he would stop talking, so that she could rest assured.

"Kahn, why are you here again?" Harry breathed out. Although the problem had not been completely solved, he still couldn't wait to ask the doubts in his heart.

"Professor Snape said that he would drive us all home early tomorrow morning. I want to ask the professor what happened." Kahn gave a reason casually: "I just happened to meet you and Ron bullying Lockhart. Professor, throw him into this tube. I was a little worried, so I came to take a look."

"I, we didn't, no... Anyway, it's not what you thought, there is a reason..." Harry blushed and stuttered to explain anxiously. But after he finished explaining, he sadly discovered that the truth seemed to be almost the same. – At least that’s what it seems to the uninformed.

Kahn gave him a look that I knew all about and said jokingly: "Relax, I will keep it a secret for you."

Harry's face turned redder, and he could see it even through the thick mud and black ash. He felt light and airy in his heart, like a dove fluttering. He lowered his head and smiled sheepishly. He didn't know why. He didn't want Kahn to see his smile.

Fox, the phoenix, flew around in the sky, picked up something from the ground, and threw it into Harry's arms - Tom Riddle's diary.

"Riddle's identity." Kahn tapped his wand twice on the diary and said to Harry, "I can see that his magic comes from it."

Harry looked at Kahn first, then at the diary in his hand, then stood up from the ground and looked at Tom in the distance. Tom Riddle looked back without saying a word. He was standing alone in the middle of the room. In the middle of the statue with a dark mouth, without the arrogance and laughter just now, he looks lonely and lonely.

But Harry would never pity him.

He grabbed the fallen fang of the basilisk on the ground and inserted it straight into the center of the diary.

Kahn did not lift the silencing spell from Tom, and he did not let out a cry of pain, but the pain caused by the venom corrosion made him hold his head with both hands, open his mouth and gasp silently, his body was twisted by a darkness, black The whirlpool gradually swallowed him up. Before he was about to be completely swallowed, he held back the pain, stared at Kahn with a pair of black hole eyes, and opened his mouth as if to say something.

At this point, the dust has settled.

The Ravenclaw girl didn't know how much life force he had sucked away. Tom Riddle had already disappeared. She was still in a coma, but her face was no longer pale and turned rosy. Kahn brought the girl with him using a levitating spell, and he and Harry came to a corner near the rubble pile where he and Ron parted ways.

"You can carry her out." Kahn put the girl down gently and said to Harry: "Please don't reveal my existence. I don't want others to know that I am in the Chamber of Secrets. You know, I am a Slytherin. Others may misunderstand me.”

In fact, even if she yelled to the four houses that she was the heir of Slytherin, they would most likely pretend not to hear and find excuses for her.

Harry didn't want to agree, "But you obviously didn't do anything! You helped me. Without you, how could I defeat that terrifying basilisk? You have paid so much, how can I say with peace of mind that it's just me?" What you did? Kahn, Dumbledore will understand - if he really wants to punish us for violating school rules, I will definitely accept the punishment on your behalf."

Kahn lowered his head guiltily and did not dare to answer his words for a while.

"Of course you can defeat the basilisk without me. The sword and the phoenix are your helpers." Kahn said: "You did not defeat Voldemort alone. Didn't you also have Ron and Lockhart? They also He made a lot of contributions.”

"But……"

"Okay, stop reading." Kahn covered his ears, "I don't want to be a hero. If Draco knows that I also contributed to the elimination of Voldemort, it will cause a huge fuss - it will be too troublesome."

Who cares about him. Harry wanted to say this, but restrained himself. He nodded slightly disappointedly and agreed to Kahn to keep her secret. After confirming that she could leave the pipe by herself, he picked up the girl on the ground and left first.

Kahn waited underground for a while, and after they were all pulled up by Phoenix Fox, he also left.

Instead of asking Harry to keep it a secret, she could just cast him an oblivion spell, like she had done last school year. But what happened to Lockhart not long ago really made people feel unhappy, and the relationship between Harry and her was better than last year. He couldn't always use the forgetting spell on his friends. I was really afraid that one day he would be stupid. Anyway, It's not a big deal. Since she voluntarily did not erase this memory, she can accept the consequences even if Harry tells him.

Harry and Ron returned to the ground with the innocent Lockhart and the girl, and immediately followed Fawkes to knock on the door of Professor McGonagall's office. Surprisingly - Dumbledore was there too.

Not long after Kahn returned to Slytherin, the news that Harry had once again defeated Voldemort passed through every hole and floated to the Slytherin common room.

Professor Snape opened the lounge door like a gust of wind and informed them to gather in the auditorium. Hogwarts was going to hold a grand celebration party.

Malfoy didn't want to go to Potter's victory dinner at all, but everyone was asked to go. He had no choice but to reluctantly put his weight on Kahn with a dark face, and relied on her to pull him to the Great Hall.

This was the most special banquet that Kahn had ever attended. Everyone was wearing pajamas at the banquet. Dumbledore also came back, setting off some magic fireworks for them from time to time. The banquet lasted all night, Hermione also came back, and Hagrid was there. I also arrived at Hogwarts from Azkaban at 3:30 in the morning. Professor McGonagall announced that the final exam was cancelled, and Dumbledore announced that the school was recruiting a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher because Lockhart needed to find one. Return his memory.

Although Malfoy's face was dull and full of resentment at first, Slytherin was also full of indignation because Harry and Ron each added 200 points to directly win this year's Academy Cup. But by the second half of the night, everyone was having fun, and Malfoy even went to the Gryffindor table arm-in-arm with Kahn - mainly to make fun of Harry.

The remaining days of the summer semester were not much different from usual, except that everyone’s laughter was clearer and their walking steps were brisker.

The exception was Malfoy. For unknown reasons, his father was expelled from the board of directors. It is said that it was because he threatened the other eleven directors that if they did not suspend Dumbledore, he would curse their families.

This caused Malfoy to become less arrogant than before and his face was always gloomy. Even when Harry was standing in front of him, sometimes he didn't bother to taunt him. He just pretended not to see him, deliberately bumped him hard and left.

All in all, it’s a happy ending.

Kahn thought as she walked onto the Hogwarts Express, clutching the envelope Tom had written to her on that rainy night in her pocket.
