struggle

Tom walked into the secret room slowly, stroking every stone pillar within his reach with an expression of reminiscence.When finally standing in front of the statue of Slytherin, he knelt down in front of the statue and bowed his head: "My great and noble ancestors, I have returned. This time, I will not fail again, I will let the world remember the glory of Slytherin." Then, he stood up, and hissed the snake language again, "Speak to me, Slytherin—the Hogwarts Big Four One of the greatest."

Slytherin's huge stone face moved, his mouth opened wider and wider, and finally formed a huge black hole, and at the same time, there was a rustling sound from the depths of the black hole, apparently something Gliding upwards.When it finally reached the entrance of the cave, the behemoth fell to the ground suddenly, and then moved over quickly: "I remember your voice, you are the human being who released me again after Slytherin——Tom. It's been many years, I didn't expect you to come back again."

"Yes, Haierbo, I'm Tom. This time, I won't lock you in a secret room alone. It's too uncomfortable to be locked in a space alone, so as long as I get my own body, and I will take you away together.” Tom caressed Hai Erbo’s cold body, and obviously remembered the 50 years of despair that he had been sealed in his diary: “I will make up for the lost 50 years. , no matter why the main soul failed, I will not allow myself to repeat his mistakes."

"Tom, I can finally go out?" Haile rubbed his huge head happily, "I'm going to tear those Muggles and Mudbloods apart, I've been hungry for a long time."

"Go, Hai Erbo, go along the path you are familiar with. I need your help to create chaos in Hogwarts, drive away Dumbledore, so that I can recover smoothly and get my own body " Tom's voice was soft and dangerous, softly encouraging his pet's eagerness to move.

"Yes, Tom, I will, I will kill those mudbloods." Haier waved his tail and nodded.

"Very well, Haierbo, my Haierbo." Tom comforted his pet a few more words, and then quickly left the secret room along the same path.At the same time, Ginny felt that the original suppression of her soul was loosened. It was obvious that Tom's soul was still very unstable. He couldn't leave the diary for too long, nor did he have enough power to occupy her body for too long. .

After returning to Gryffindor's dormitory and lying on her bed again, Ginny felt herself spinning again, and when she opened her eyes again, she had already returned to the study in the space of the diary .She still relaxed her body, maintaining the state of being controlled by the Imperius Curse, while Tom waved her wand in satisfaction, breaking the control of the Imperius Curse, and then returned to his usual expression, crying softly : "Ginny, wake up."

Ginny pretended to have just recovered her senses, and looked blankly at Tom in front of her: "Oh, Tom, my God, I actually fell asleep?"

"Yes, little Ginny, you may be too tired." Tom gently stroked her long hair, his eyes looked more gentle, "Go back to sleep, you have worked hard in your studies, don't worry about yourself Too strict."

"Well, goodbye then, Tom!" Ginny stood up, saying goodbye as usual.

"Goodbye!" Tom bowed his head and kissed Ginny's forehead.

When she lay back on her bed again, Ginny finally let out a deep breath.I have to say that every time I meet and deal with Tom, I am too tired. She has to beware of his possible attack behind every smile. true or false.But his charm was equal to his viciousness at the same time, and that seemingly elegant demeanor made her even more startled.Now, the secret room has finally been opened again, and the subsequent murders of students will finally kick off.

In the next few days, Hogwarts was as peaceful as ever, and Ginny's daily life was filled with daily classes, exercises, and reading.The only surprise was Lockhart's enthusiasm for her. He obviously regarded her as another passionate admirer of his. Every time he saw her, he would catch her bragging about his dangerous experiences And brave behavior, trying to get her reverent eyes.Ginny, on the other hand, could only suppress the urge to roll her eyes every time, and repeated the same rhetoric: "You are so great, you are so amazing, Professor Lockhart."

After another boring and useless Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ginny quickly packed up all the books, and before Lockhart asked her to stay, she left the classroom and went straight to Hagrid's room on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Go to the hut.

Under the setting sun in the afternoon, the Forbidden Forest didn't have a gloomy feeling, but was shrouded in a faint golden afterglow, dragging the shadows of the trees for a long time, and even Hagrid's hut looked a bit rustic The warm feel of the cabin.Ginny came to the hut and politely knocked on the door, and there was a loud dog barking inside the door.

"Yaya, back off." Ginny heard Hagrid scold the big dog harshly, and then asked, "Who is it?"

"Hagrid, it's me, Ginny Weasley. May I come in?" Ginny replied.

"Oh, little Ginny, of course." Hagrid opened the door immediately and looked at her with a smile on his face. "Your brothers are all regular customers here. You are welcome to come in often too. Come in."

Ginny showed a shy smile at Hagrid, stepped into the door, and looked around the slightly messy cabin: "Hagrid, you're the only one here, Ron and the others didn't come over today?"

Hagrid deliberately coughed a few times and winked at Ginny: "Ginny, are you here to see me? Ron, Hermione and 'Harry' haven't been here since school started." He deliberately emphasized Harry's pronunciation.

"Of course, I just walked around after class. I remembered that I haven't seen you since Diagon Alley, so I came here." Ginny quickly blushed in coordination, showing an expression that was trying to hide, and successfully let Hagrid himself. Thinking that she understood her thoughts completely, she patted Ginny's shoulder with a smile, but her hand was so strong that Ginny almost fell off the chair: "Hey, little Ginny, don't be shy, wait for Harry and the others to come over next time, I'll let you know right away." As he spoke, he graciously took out another plate, "Ginny, would you like some rock cakes? Or fudge?"

"No, no, thank you, Hagrid." Ginny glanced at the food on the plate, and hurriedly shook her hand.

"Then, go and see the pumpkin I planted for Halloween, I dare say, it's the best pumpkin in the wizarding world." Hagrid stood up, his face full of pride.

"Okay, Hagrid." Ginny also stood up, and followed Hagrid to the vegetable patch behind his hut.Twelve huge pumpkins had grown there, each half as tall as a man, reminding Ginny of Cinderella's pumpkin carriage in Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales. "Hagrid, how did you make them grow so big?" She looked at him suspiciously.

"A little help, my little secret." Hagrid said pretending to be mysterious, but his eyes involuntarily drifted to a pink umbrella leaning against the back wall of the hut.

"Did you cast an expansion spell on them?" Ginny gave the most likely inference, remembering that Harry had told Ron that he suspected that Hagrid's broken wand was hidden in his umbrella.

"Ahem, how is this possible? I can't cast magic." Hagrid denied repeatedly, but his tone was smiling, and he winked at Ginny.

Ginny just smiled, didn't ask any more questions, but looked around casually.When she saw a flock of chickens pecking at them not far away, she seemed to point out curiously: "Hagrid, do you raise a flock of chickens?"

"Yes, look at the brightest one with the comb on its head. It's a rooster, but it's very energetic. It crows on time every morning." Hagrid pointed to Ginny, but he didn't see Ginny behind him. , slowly revealing a slightly weird smile.This is the purpose of her coming here today. She remembered that according to the original book, she should kill this rooster to remove its natural enemies for the basilisk, so she wanted to know in advance.Moreover, she was also going to follow the plot, because in this way, she would give Hermione a hint and let them figure out what kind of mysterious monster they were going to deal with.

"Dear Miss Weasley, so you are here too. I was just thinking about going around the Forbidden Forest to see if there are any dangerous creatures that I need to eliminate. I still remember when I was in the forest in Germany, I Single-handedly, he wiped out a group of dangerous werewolves." Lockhart began to show what he thought was a charming smile again, and the violet robe shone a little golden in the sunlight.

Hagrid snorted heavily behind Ginny, while Lockhart suddenly turned his head to look at him: "This is? Miss Weasley, could you please introduce this huge friend?"

Hagrid didn't wait for Ginny to speak, and said in a rough voice, "Rubus Hagrid, Hogwarts keykeeper and gamekeeper."

"Hagrid, nice to meet you. I'm Gilderoy Lockhart, a third-class Medal of the Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award. The current Hogg Watts' Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, I would like to serve you." Lockhart habitually showed his white teeth, and brushed his golden hair pretending to be chic.

"Professor Lockhart, I don't need your services." Hagrid glanced at Lockhart's pretentiousness, and impatiently wanted to drag Ginny back to the cabin.

"That's not necessarily the case, for example, look at your well—" Lockhart pointed to the well in the corner, "I think you need me to tell you how to drive out the nixes. If you have seen my Book, you know, I once had a paragraph about how to defeat those female goblins."

Lockhart wanted to continue, but Hagrid cut him off impatiently: "There's no nyx in my well, and I haven't read your book."

"That's such a pity, you don't know what a wonderful learning opportunity you've missed. Well, I'll sign one of my books and give it to you, and now—" Lockhart ignored Hagrid's resistance, Pulling his thick arm, "Let me first show you how to get rid of those water demons in the well."

"As I said, there are no nixes in my well." Hagrid shook off Lockhart's hand, making him stagger, but still refused to give up: "Mr. Hagrid, you are too stubborn, let me demonstrate show you."

Taking advantage of Lockhart's absence of attention, Ginny greeted vaguely: "Hagrid, Professor Lockhart, I'll go back first." Then, she covered her mouth and ran away with a smile Back to the main castle.

The author has something to say: Every time I write about Lockhart, I feel funny, well, I found that my writing style this time is still very relaxed, not like the entanglement of the previous article
