[HP] Night Haze

Chapter 51 Do You Regret

"Come... come here... let me tear you apart... kill you..." Harry Potter imitated the cold and vicious voice he heard in the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher's office to his roommates, The vivid context made his friends collectively shudder.

"Lockhart said he didn't hear? Do you think he's lying? But I can't figure it out, even invisible people need to open the door." Ron rubbed his arms and frowned puzzledly. Smell of stained polish.Tonight he had spent the night polishing the trophies in the showroom under the stern supervision of Mr. Filch, the custodian.He really envied that Harry was lucky enough to be chosen by Professor Lockhart, but from Harry's tone, he could hear that the blue-eyed boy didn't seem to think it was a kind of luck.

"Go to sleep, you have class tomorrow." Angelo's misty voice came from under the crimson flannel bed curtain, he didn't take Harry's words seriously, maybe it was just his father's childlike innocence. Just a little prank.

"Harry, do you know? Everyone is talking about it today. The Slytherin Quidditch team suddenly has seven light wheels 2001, and they can't even see their shadows when they fly." Dean, who is in the same dormitory, told them The rumors he heard today.

"We not only saw it with our own eyes, but also know who is so generous." Ron replied sullenly. "Harry, when Draco offered to give you the same Nimbus 2001, why did you refuse? If you have Nimbus 2001, at least there will be fairness between the Seekers of our two houses." He said to himself The silly friend complained.Master Malfoy may have wanted to make peace in this way, but the Savior rejected his offer, saying it would not affect their friendship.This made Ron feel very aggrieved, but recalling how they treated Draco last school year, Ron felt that everyone was evened out.

Well, he had to admit that Malfoy was still the proud Malfoy, and he wouldn't change his extravagant demeanor just because he made friends with them.Although experienced some friction, but do not remember when it started, they have intersected for a long time.

"When I took the Nimbus 2000 to sweep the Seven Stars competition with other academies last year, no one talked to me about fairness, Ron." Harry turned over on the bed and said, "I have no reason to accept Draco's What about this heavy gift? To squeeze him with friendship? This is unfair to him. Winning the broomstick is only one aspect, the key depends on technology."

"But..." The red-haired boy's tone was still unwilling.

"Okay, don't think about it anymore, I already have a Nimbus 2000." Harry said decisively, "It doesn't fly much slower than a new model broom, and it's still very new. A new broom would be such a waste, it's not good."

"Well, you're right." Ron looked very depressed.Angelo sniggered under the quilt.Although Harry Potter is much stronger than before, and he no longer wears ill-fitting bulky clothes, he is still the same Harry as when we first met, and his essence has never changed.

Angelo always thought that the cold and vicious voice Harry heard was just a prank by his unscrupulous father, and he didn't even go to Baron Lockhart to verify it because of this trivial matter.But as they escape from Nearly Headless Niko's 500th death anniversary party on Hallows' Eve, standing in the long corridors of the castle's flickering torches, he knows how wrong he is.

[...Tear you...Tear you...Kill you...]

"Harry, why do you—" Except for him, the other two little lions looked at the savior who suddenly stopped and stood still in amazement.

"That voice appeared again, can't you hear it?" Harry said urgently.

I heard it, Harry...Angelo didn't say a word, Hermione and Ron's blank expressions made his heart skip a beat, and he realized that there seemed to be something wrong.

[Hungry... It's been a long, long time... Killing... It's time...] The creepy voice in the wall is moving up.

"Kill, he wants to kill, stop him!" Harry shouted, chasing after the voice.Angelo ran behind.The other two little lions still had doubts on their faces, but they followed closely without falling behind.

"It's the snake language, Angelo." Vidi's playful tone came from the ring.

"I know!" Angelo panted and sent a thought.

How could the savior who defeated Voldemort understand Parseltongue?Before Angelo could think about this question, he heard a gasp.He pushed aside Ron, who was blocking his view.The stomach that was uncomfortable at the sight of a pile of rotting food at the ghost banquet was now churning even more intensely.

The chamber of secrets was opened.

Those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant.

Angelo stepped on the stagnant water under his feet and walked to the stone wall between the two windows. The handwriting smeared on it shimmered under the light of the torch.

"What's that - hanging down there." Ron's voice trembled a little, and Harry nearly slipped in a big puddle of water on the ground.They grabbed him, stared at the black shadow, and no one spoke for a few seconds.

"We have to get out of here." Angelo wrapped his clothes tightly, and the weird scene in front of him made him feel the chill rising from the bottom of his feet - Mrs. Norris, the pet of the administrator Mr. Filch, was hanging upside down stiffly On the stand of the torch, he stared straight at them.The female cat who had always been against them was now like an ugly but delicate statue, motionless, without a trace of life, and her wide-eyed eyes were as lifeless as her dull hair.

"We can't be found here, yes, we have to get out of here!" Ron yelled, and Harry and Hermione started to move, but it was too late.

A muffled din told them the Halloween party was over, and hundreds of feet came toward them from the direction of the restaurant.All the noise died away after seeing the upside-down cat.There was faint uneasiness and commotion in the crowd, and Angelo knew it was too late.He saw the Platinum Boy pushing to the front of the crowd.Draco's pale gray eyes showed horror at the writing on the wall.The four lion cubs who were isolated among the crowd made his face even paler.

"You! Harry Potter. You killed my cat, and I'm going to kill you!" Filch's shrill cry made their situation worse. Fortunately, Dumbledore rushed over to disperse them in time. the crowd.

"The heir of Slytherin?" Viddy chuckled cynically from the ring, but revealed a biting killing intent, "This is interesting, Angelo."

"We went to Nearly Headless Nico's death anniversary party, hundreds of ghosts came, and they can all prove that we were there—" In the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, the four little lions of Gryffindor Trying to explain their innocence to the professors who came to deal with it.Gathered here because Lord Lockhart's office was closest to the scene of the crime, and he himself was willing to actively contribute his space.

"But after this, why don't you come to the banquet?" Snape's dark eyes reflected the candlelight, "I think the food provided by the ghost at the party may not be suitable for living people."

"Because - because we're not hungry!" Harry's answer was accompanied by a grunt in Ron's stomach.Snape's examining smile deepened.

"Those foods that are not suitable for living people are unappetizing, at least I am like this, Snape." Baron Lockhart showed a bright smile to the children, "If you have read my book "With "Female Ghost Break" will not go to that kind of boring party out of curiosity."

His gaze flicked across the blond boy's face, blinking his forget-me-not blue eyes. "I wrote very clearly in the book, the second paragraph on page 98, or the third paragraph. Well... maybe the fourth paragraph or page 99, of course it may be page 100, where I met a ..."

"Professor Lockhart!" Snape interrupted, "we're not here to talk about your book today."

"Oh, sorry, back to the topic, where are we?" Lockhart narrowed his eyes, "You have encountered that terrible scene since you came out of the ghost's banquet, right?"

"Yes!" The lion cubs nodded quickly. After studying the stiff cat, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall also proved that this kind of non-spell petrification of cats is not something second-year students can do.

"We can cure him, Filch." Dumbledore patiently comforted the extremely unstable administrator, "Mrs. Sprout recently got some mandrakes, which can be configured once they grow and mature." A resurrection potion."

"I'll configure it, I must have configured it a hundred times," Baron Lockhart interrupted, "I can configure the Mandrake resurrection potion while dreaming—"

"Forgive me, I think I'm the Potions teacher in this school." Snape's cold words brought an awkward silence from Baron Lockhart.

"Your father got on well with Snape, I read from your impression that he was rarely interested in targeting someone so many times." A joke came from the ring.

"I already have a headache, Viddy." Angelo rubbed the ring on his middle finger, "Why can Harry understand Parseltongue? And who wrote those words on the wall?"

"Maybe he, like you, is a small conspiracy that the main soul will not be able to complete in the future. The Potter family definitely has no Slytherin blood," the young male voice pondered, "As for who wrote those words on the wall, I also wonder Know……"

For the next two days, there was a gloomy atmosphere in Hogwarts castle. Although there were notices posted on the school bulletin board, some students saw Angelo and his group, especially Harry , will look hastily or intentionally avoid it.

Ron's younger sister, Ginny, is a girl who likes cats very much. Mrs. Norris' misfortune made her very sad. For this reason, Ron borrowed the black cat Sick from Angelo for her to adopt for a few days. I love my sister very much.

Several copies of "Hogwarts, A History of the School" in the library were borrowed out. Hermione's copy was kept at home this year, but it was a pity that it was not brought out.What Angelo didn't expect was that this brown-haired girl would boldly interrupt Professor Binns's lecture in History of Magic class to ask about the Chamber of Secrets. A monster was raised in the school, waiting for the heir to restart the Chamber of Secrets, let it purify the entire school, and remove those who are not worthy of learning magic here.

"What Slytherin wants to eliminate is not the students in the school, but the traitors." The male voice in the ring suddenly said something when Angelo was listening to Professor Binns' story with great interest.

"What?" Angelo blinked without reacting for a moment.

"Thousands of years ago, the living environment of wizards was very bad, because Muggles would burn them to death as long as they caught wizards." The thoughts in the ring were continuously transmitted into Angelo's mind, "My ancestor Slytherin opposed accepting Muggles. People with wizard potential come to Hogwarts to study in melons. He believes that they are not pure-bred wizards. Sooner or later, they will fall to the Muggle side and use the magic they have learned against us. But the Big Four The other three people who thought they could use magic were wizards and not Muggles anymore. My ancestors left the school because of disagreements, but left his beloved pet to guard the castle before he left, the The pet's job is to kill Muggle-turned-betrayers when they appear."

"Is this the truth thousands of years ago, but how did you know?" Angelo was shocked by Horcrux's words.

"Don't forget I am the Ravenclaw diadem," the male voice joked.There was another sentence he didn't let Angelo receive: "...I also found out by accident when I was absorbing the energy of the crown." This is the truth of the Dark Lord.

"So even if the chamber of secrets is opened, we don't have to worry about students being injured, Viddy?" Angelo found useful information from the man's words, and got a positive answer from the Horcrux. Angelo felt relaxed all over.

*****

"I've known for a long time that Salazar Slytherin is a perverted old lunatic, but I didn't know that he came up with this set of pure-blood theory nonsense. Even if I was paid for nothing, I would not enter his college." Then Ron said to his friends as he walked out of the classroom with the crowd.

"I want to teach this Weasley a lesson." Angelo felt numbness in his fingers: "Viddy! You called me." Angelo gently knocked the ring on the stone wall to express his dissatisfaction. With the ring still intact and strong after doing this the first time, he found a way to protest Viddy's sometimes brutal behavior.

Leaning against the wall and waiting for the crowd to gradually disperse, Angelo and his party walked into the corner of the corridor.That's where the incident happened. Mrs. Norris is no longer hanging upside down here, and the writing on the wall has not been cleaned up. The administrator put a chair here to stand guard often, but today the chair is vacant.

"Look around, maybe we can find some clues." Harry suggested, he found several scorching marks near the incident, and Hermione pointed to the dozens of spiders crawling on the glass window in amazement, she never I didn't see so many spiders climbing out of the window in groups.Ron closed his eyes so he couldn't look at them. He said he didn't like spiders.

"They seem to be escaping from the castle. Look at their routes... Oh!" As soon as Angelo approached the spider swarm, they scrambled to fall from the window and fell to the ground to die.

"Viddy!" Angelo angrily sent a wave of anger to the ring, which needless to say must be a good thing done by the Dark Lord.

"Since I stopped absorbing your energy, you should be used to the days without insect harassment, Angelo." The male voice in the ring joked, "Actually, you don't need to pull the bed net at night, because you don't have to worry about mosquitoes biting you." you."

"You are interfering with our actions, Vidi!" Angelo took a big breath before straightening out his breathing, but the strange mass death of spiders had already made his friends stay away from the windows suspiciously, and looked for possible victims nearby. clue.

"Remember that puddle of water on the ground? It's parallel to this door." Hermione stopped at the door of the girls' bathroom not far from the incident.

"This is the women's bathroom, Hermione!" The three boys stopped here, but Hermione ignored the big sign with the word "Failure" hanging on the door and opened the door.

As soon as Angelo opened the door, he heard crying from inside. The abandoned bathroom was full of spots and scratches.

"Hi Myrtle, how are you?" Hermione said hello to a ghost neither of them had ever seen.

"Is she still here? Turned into a ghost?" Angelo received the message from the ring. For some reason, he felt that there was something wrong with Vidi's mood.

"Vidi?" Angelo touched the ring in his hand, "Do you know her? She was alive?"

"Have you ever heard that the chamber of secrets was opened 50 years ago?" The voice from the ring again could not hear the emotion. "As a descendant of Slytherin, I opened the Chamber of Secrets—a female student died."

"Could she be that... didn't you say that Slytherin would not harm the students in this castle!" When Hermione was still trying to figure out what happened on Halloween night from the ghost, Angelo's His hands trembled uncontrollably.

"It was an accident. I graduated later," said the ring, "I didn't expect her to become a ghost... guarding the place where she died..."

Angelo exhaled. "Do you regret it - Vidi?" He softened his voice, and Angelo was keenly aware that the incomplete soul in the ring did not tease him after entering the bathroom, but became a little dull.

"No, I will never regret it. She died because of her bad luck, just like my unlucky main soul." Horcrux replied fiercely without hesitation. "I think even if my main soul is planted in Harry Potter's hands, if there is another chance, he will still kill him without hesitation."

"Could it be that your words were lying to me back then, Vidi?" Angelo was speechless at this moment.

"What are you talking about to restore the integrity of your soul, return to the magic world, and make up for the crimes committed by the Death Eaters due to the gradual loss of sanity in the later period!" He emphasized his tone, "I thought you had reformed yourself, and this is how you deceived me Feelings made me sign the contract!"

"Don't get excited, my dear little Angelo. I think you have misunderstood something." The male voice in the ring let out a cold smile, and the boy's furious questioning had no effect on him.

"What I want to make up for is the mistake of splitting the soul. Losing my mind has indeed caused a lot of misfortunes, but this is not in my regret. After returning to the magic world, I will use a more high-quality and peaceful way to lead the future of the magic world This part has already been signed in our contract, so you don’t have to doubt it. But my dear collaborator, making up has nothing to do with regret, you’re obviously confused.”

"I have to say, you are a bastard, Vidi." Angelo saw through the ferocious nature of his collaborator at this moment. Even if he changed his name, Vidi was still the once highly respected and intelligent Dark Lord.

He was now a contractual partner on an equal footing with the Dark Lord?Angelo once again had deep doubts about his extremely unstable identity like a dream.The only thing that made him really realize was that he, Angelo, couldn't beat him...
