Howl's Moving Castle and Hogwarts Castle

"Boy, what are you doing?" A voice suddenly came from behind Ji Xing.

"Ah!" Ji Xing was startled and looked back. He had just come to the bathroom on the third floor and was circling around hoping to find some clues. He turned around and saw a ghost floating behind him. And straight hair, and thick glasses.

"Are you Myrtle?" asked Ji Xing, who had read in that old diary about the person who died when the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago.

"You know me?" cried Myrtle joyfully, and she whirled round and round in the air like a deflated balloon.

"Yes," Ji Xing replied, "Can you tell me something?"

"what do you wish to ask?"

"I want to know how you died?" Ji Xing asked cautiously, he didn't know if it would arouse the other party's anger.

But Myrtle's whole demeanor changed at once, from anger to excitement, and it seemed that no one had ever asked her such a question that she was honored.

"Ouch, that was horrible," she relished. "It happened here. I died in this toilet. I remember it very well. At that time, Olive Hornbe laughed at me for wearing glasses like a four-eyed dog." , I hid here. I locked the door and cried inside, when suddenly I heard someone come in. They were talking funny things. I thought it must be in another language. But what annoyed me the most was, I heard a boy's voice talking about work. So I opened the door and told him to go off to my boys' room, and—" Myrtle puffed out her chest in self-importance, her face beaming brightly," I will die."

"?" Ji Xing was puzzled, "How did he die?"

"I don't know," Myrtle said in a low voice mysteriously. "I just remember seeing a pair of terribly large yellow eyes. My whole body seemed to be grabbed, and then I floated away..." She looked looked at Harry in a daze. "And then I came back again. You know, I was all about trying to get Oliver Hornby back. Oh, and she regretted making fun of me for wearing glasses."

Ji Xing listened thoughtfully, he walked around twice, and then stopped by the pool, "Are you here?"

"That's right!" Myrtle floated to Ji Xing's side, leaning over to look at the delicate blond boy, "What are you doing?"

"Well, I'm looking for an entrance," Ji Xing looked carefully by the pool, and then Ji Xing saw a small snake engraved on the side of a copper faucet, "it's probably here."

Ji Xing muttered for a while, then he took out a bottle of potion from his pocket, then opened a small bag, carefully took out a black hair inside and put it in, then he poured down the potion in one gulp.

"Wow," Myrtle exclaimed. She looked at the blond boy in front of her. The color of his hair gradually became darker, his facial features slowly pulled apart, and his body grew taller, gradually becoming another person.

"It's a good thing I'm wearing this dress," Ji Xing muttered, and he took out a pair of glasses from his pocket and put them on. Now, he completely turned into Harry Potter.

He stared at the snake-shaped pattern, trying to make himself speak another language, "Open? Open? Open!..."

Myrtle watched the boy keep saying 'open' in a strange way, and then she watched him say 'open' a dozen times, then suddenly made a strange 'hissing' sound, and then something magical happened.

The faucet emitted a dazzling white light and began to spin rapidly.Then, the pool moved.The pool slowly disappeared from sight, revealing a water pipe so thick that a person could slip through it.

"What is this?" Myrtle leaned close to Ji Xing and looked down.

"I don't know," Ji Xing said, he took a few deep breaths, and then mustered up the courage to jump down.

It felt like rushing down a dark, sticky, endless chute.Ji Xing could see that there were many pipes branching out in all directions, but none of them were as thick as this one.Their pipe twists and turns, twists and turns, and the slope is very steep all the way down.

Just when Ji Xing thought he was going to slide down without end, he suddenly fell to the ground.The pipe became horizontal, and he emerged from the spout, plopping to the wet ground.It was a dark stone tunnel, big enough for a man to stand in.

"Oh, it's really dirty. Mom will beat me up when she finds out." Ji Xing patted the dirt on his body. The inside of the pipe was really dirty. He slipped down and got a lot of dirt on his body, but he patted it no matter what Unclean, "Well, forget it."

Ji Xing gave up cleaning his clothes, he held his wand tightly in his left hand, and walked towards the tunnel over there.

"Ah!" Ji Xing suddenly exclaimed, because there was a huge green snake in front of him, but Ji Xing soon realized that it was just the skin that had faded, but Ji Xing still turned pale. Imagine how huge and ferocious things he had to face. Ji Xing was a prince living in a castle since he was a child, so he never had such a challenge.

Ji Xing muttered 'We must find Draco, we must find Draco', slowly walked around the snake skin and walked into the tunnel.

The tunnel turned one bend after another.Every nerve of Ji Xing was trembling uncomfortably.He hoped to get to the end of the tunnel quickly, but at the same time he was afraid that the tunnel really did end.At last, carefully turning another bend, he found a solid wall ahead, carved with two intertwined snakes, with large, shining emeralds in their eyes. .

Ji Xing approached slowly, his throat was a little dry, he tried to say 'open', but Ji Xing found that he didn't make any sound, Ji Xing licked his lips, cleared his throat and said 'open' again, this time, The two snakes separated, and the stone wall slowly split from the middle, slid to the sides and disappeared.

Ji Xing stood at one side of a long, dimly lit room.Many stone pillars engraved with coiled and entangled snakes stand tall and support the ceiling that melts in the darkness of the heights, casting long and treacherous black shadows on the entire room filled with green and mysterious atmosphere.

His heart was beating wildly, and he stood listening to the chilling silence.Was the basilisk just lurking in a dark corner behind some stone pillar? Where was Draco? He drew his wand and walked slowly among the serpent-wreathed stone pillars.Every cautious step he took created a hollow, loud echo among the ghostly walls.He kept squinting his eyes, ready to close them tightly at the slightest sign of trouble.He always felt that the empty eye sockets of the two stone snakes were always following him.More than once, he seemed to see something moving, and his stomach convulsed from nervousness.When he came parallel to the last pair of stone pillars, there loomed before him a statue as tall as the room itself, clinging to the darkened wall behind.

Ji Xing had to raise his neck high to see the huge face above: it was an old, monkey-like face, with a long sparse beard that almost reached the hem of the wizard's robe carved in stone Above, two big gray feet stood on the smooth floor of the room.Between those feet lay a figure in a black robe, and beside him was another small figure with hair as red as fire.

"Draco!" Ji Xing ran over, he knelt down and patted Draco's face, but Draco's eyes were closed tightly and he didn't intend to open them. Ji Xing reached out to check Draco's breathing, and then With a sigh of relief, he then turned his attention to the red-haired figure next to him.

"Ginny!" Ji Xing turned over Ginny who was facing down.Her face was like marble, cold and bloodless, but her eyes were closed, so she was not petrified. Ji Xing reached out to check Ginny's breathing, but this time he did not let him relax. Tone, "Ginny! Ginny, don't die!"

"She won't wake up," said a voice softly.Ji Xing was taken aback and looked back.

A tall, dark-haired boy was leaning against the nearest stone pillar, watching him.The boy's outline was indistinct and strange.

Ji Xing didn't make a sound, he looked vigilantly at Tom Riddle opposite.

"We meet again," Riddle said.

"What do you mean she won't wake up!" Ji Xing avoided Tom's words, he was using Harry's face now, but he didn't know the person in front of him at all.

"She's alive," Riddle said, "but not for long."

"You made her like this?!" Ji Xing asked, his suspicion unexpectedly surprised Riddle, who always thought that Harry trusted him.

"That's right," Riddle admitted generously, and he decided to give Potter an understanding before he died, "The real reason why Ginny Weasley became like this is that she opened her heart to an invisible stranger." , Confided all his secrets."

Seeing Ji Xing looking at him suspiciously, Riddle smiled smugly. He was proud of his tricks, "It's a diary, my diary. For several months, little Ginny has been writing her thoughts in it, to I told of her distressing troubles and sorrows: how she was teased by her brothers, how she had to come to school in old robes and books, and how she thought—" Riddle's eyes twinkled slyly, "— — thinking that the famous, kind, great Harry Potter would never like her..."

"It's so tedious, listening to an eleven-year-old girl tell her childish worries," he went on, "but I patiently wrote something to answer her. I'm kind and understanding. Ginny Literally in love with me. Oh Tom, no one understands me like you do.. I'm so glad I got this diary and can tell you the truth.. It's like having a friend that you can carry around in your pocket.. ..."

Riddle let out a cold, piercing laugh that didn't sound like a sixteen-year-old's. "Not that I brag, Harry, I've always been able to charm people at will. So, Ginny opened up her whole soul to me, and her soul happened to be exactly what I needed. I devoured her Deepest fears, deepest secrets, growing appetites. I grew stronger, much stronger than little Miss Weasley. Strong enough to reveal a few of my secrets to Miss Weasley, to start Opening up a little part of my soul to her too..."

"You controlled her?!" Ji Xing exclaimed, he didn't expect that the one who kept opening the secret room was none other than Ginny!

"Of course, it seems that you are not so stupid. Yes, I controlled her to open the secret room. Of course, she didn't know what she was doing at first. It took a long, long time before the silly little Ginny stopped trusting her." Her diary," said Riddle, "she got suspicious at last and tried to throw it away. That's when you came, Harry. I couldn't be happier you found it. No Thinking that among so many people, you are the one who picked up this diary, you are the person I want to meet the most..."

Ji Xing was silent. He was thinking about these things. In fact, he didn't care much about what Riddle said, because he was not Harry. He just wanted to find a way to escape with Draco and Ginny, "You Why do you want to see me?" Ji Xing tried to divert Riddle's attention.

Sure enough, when Riddle heard Ji Xing's question, he immediately explained his life experience and origin clearly. From his words, Ji Xing learned that he was the memory of the big devil that everyone feared. He was also the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets before, but in the end he let Hagrid take the blame. What's more frightening is that his purpose was always to kill Harry.

"—so, I let Ginny herself write a suicide note on the wall, and come down here and wait. She struggled and cried, and it was annoying. But there wasn't much life left in her: she Put most of your life into the diary, into me, so that I can finally leave the diary. I've been waiting for you since Ginny and I got here. I knew you'd come."

"Why did you arrest De, Malfoy!" Ji Xing asked, "Malfoy is a pure blood, isn't he?!"

"Hmph, who let him see Ginny writing on the wall? I have no choice but to bring him down. Maybe I will give him a Memory Charm in the end," Riddle said indifferently. Not wanting to kill the heir to the Malfoy family.

"Okay, now that you have finally figured out everything, it's time to find your parents." Riddle laughed, he stopped between the towering stone pillars, and looked up at Si, who was hidden high in the darkness. The face of the Leitlin stone statue.Riddle opened his mouth and made a hissing sound - Ji Xing only understood part of it.

"...talk...Slytherin...Hogwarts...greatest..."
