struggle

In the medical wing, Ron and Hermione were lying side by side, their expressions frozen in unbelievable horror, their eyes wide open lifelessly.A girl with long curly hair wearing a Ravenclaw school robe and a prefect badge described the scene to Professor McGonagall with a trembling voice beside her: "I was reading in the library, and I only saw that girl looking up a book. After reading the materials, I wanted to go out of the library, but the red-haired boy refused to let her go out. They argued for a while, and Mrs. Pince asked them to pay attention because the voice was too loud. So the girl came to ask me I asked for a mirror, and then went back and said something to the boy, who was finally pulled out by her with a helpless face. Later, when I finished reading the book and was about to go back to the Ravenclaw common room, I found that They fell not far from the library."

Speaking of this, she shivered, obviously thinking of the scene at that time, she still felt very scared.Professor McGonagall patted her on the shoulder: "Criva, you've done a good job. Now, go to Madam Pomfrey's for a tranquilizer, and then go back to the common room. I'll take care of the rest."

After escorting Harry and Ginny back to the Gryffindor common room, Professor McGonagall set a series of new rules, strictly forbidding the free time for the students, and calmed down the students' concerns in a calm tone. mood.After she left, the classmates began to discuss the matter, and all pointed the finger of suspicion at Slytherin.Listening to the students' speculation, Ginny just wanted to smile wryly. This was indeed done by the descendants of Slytherin, but it was also the result of her too much belief in the power of the original book.She still doesn't know what went wrong to distort the plot, but it's too late to regret it now.What's more, if I handed over the diary to Dumbledore to destroy him as soon as I got it, it would also distort the plot. She also cannot be sure whether the subsequent development can follow the original book. It's a dilemma.Perhaps in the final analysis, her existence itself is already a kind of unreasonable, making everything out of control.

After the discussion was fruitless, the students dispersed one after another and returned to their dormitories.Harry saw Ginny still sitting on the sofa in a daze, and sat beside her sadly: "Ginny, what do you think? Also, what did you want to tell us earlier, why did you let Ron go Follow Hermione."

He couldn't say that he was a time traveler, he couldn't say that he knew all the stories that should have happened, and he couldn't say that he knew everything about his fateful enemy, Voldemort, after all, it sounded too absurd.Moreover, even if Harry believed her, her existence was too dangerous for Voldemort, and even for the Order of the Phoenix. If anyone knew about her, she would be eliminated quickly.So, Ginny just took a deep breath, looked at Harry, and said, "Harry, I think I know what the voice you often hear is the basilisk."

"Basilisk? What's that?" Harry looked at Ginny suspiciously, his green eyes full of puzzlement.

"A monster that can kill people with its eyes. It is the natural enemy of spiders, and its natural enemy is roosters." She said, and handed the piece of paper that she had held in her hand for a long time to Harry. Professor McGonagall didn't pay attention and took it from Hermione. I was just skeptical, but Hermione has undoubtedly helped me confirm this."

Looking at the torn paper from the old book, Harry muttered to himself, "No wonder I saw spiders fleeing in droves, no wonder Hagrid's cock was killed, no wonder I was the only one who could hear that." Strange sound."

Ginny nodded: "Yes, because only you have a Parseltongue and can understand the words of the Basilisk."

"Ginny, how did you guess all this? What's the matter with Hermione and Ron?" Harry suddenly raised his head and asked the question that he was most concerned about, and it was also the most strange question to him.

"Before the start of school this year, I got a diary by chance. He would talk to me, and he said that it was a memory from the past. I thought it was very interesting, but slowly I found that I often lost my memory. Know what you've done, while at the same time there's been one attack after another at school, and each time after you say you've heard a strange noise. Plus, I've checked, if the basilisk indirectly A stare can turn a person into petrification." Ginny told Harry the key situation, but withdrew some questions that she didn't want him to know.

"That's why you asked Ron to follow Hermione this morning because I heard that voice again, and you were afraid they would be attacked." Harry obviously understood what Ginny meant.

"That's right. It's just that they didn't escape." Ginny's voice dropped, "Hermione must have found out that it was a basilisk, so she borrowed a mirror. And Ron obviously didn't After understanding the situation and hearing Hermione say that she was sure, I followed her out of the library. I originally planned to go find them together after you finished the game, because only you can understand Parseltongue and can avoid the basilisk in time."

Harry patted Ginny's hand wordlessly, and then seemed to think of something suddenly: "By the way, Ginny, where is the diary? Is the diary you mentioned still there? Are they both true? There is a connection, can we find clues from there?"

Ginny shook her head: "It's gone, I lost it. After successive attacks, I was scared, and I left the diary in Myrtle's bathroom after Christmas, but unexpectedly, the attacks The incident is still happening." After she finished speaking, she paid attention to Harry's expression, saw his disappointed face, and finally gave up her last hope, obviously, Harry had never seen this diary.

In the silent air, the wall clock in the common room suddenly rang, and after the lion roared nine times, they realized that there were only the two of them left here.Harry seemed to wake up suddenly, and stood up: "Ginny, go to sleep first, starting tomorrow, I will work with you to find a way to find that diary first."

Ginny also stood up: "Okay, good night, Harry!" After saying goodbye, she walked to her bedroom.Although she knew where the secret room was, it was not a good choice to rush in. After all, she knew too little about it. What's more, Tom wasn't there, and it wouldn't be of any help to them after entering.So now, she can only take one step at a time, hoping to use Harry's ability to hear Parseltongue, track down the whereabouts of the person Tom is currently possessing, and find the diary.

Early the next morning, news began to circulate among the students that Dumbledore had been kicked out of school and that Hagrid had been arrested by the Ministry of Magic.Everyone speculated what was going on, and some well-informed students began to secretly explain the opening of the secret room 50 years ago, saying that Hagrid was the object of suspicion at that time.

Of course Harry didn't believe this statement, and Ginny was even more aware that it had nothing to do with Hagrid, but their investigation was not going well.Every student seems to be suspicious, and every student seems to be normal. Although the attack has stopped, it also means that they have no trace of clues to trace.

Draco has deliberately said in front of Harry and Ginny many times that the pure-blood traitor of the Weasley family has finally fallen to the same level as the Mudblood, and is considered by the heir of Slytherin to be eliminated The object, making Harry want to rush up angrily, but was held down by Ginny.Harry also anxiously asked Ginny many times what to do, but she could only answer him with one word: "Wait." She believed that Tom would not just disappear like this, and what she had to do was next time he When it appeared, it directly destroyed his parasitic diary.

Time is advancing silently in such a tense state. One day at the end of May, Professor McGonagall told everyone with a beaming face that the mandrake can be harvested and matured that night, and the few mandrakes can be harvested immediately. A petrified man was brought back to life.Harry happily joined the cheering crowd, and Ginny grew even more nervous.If according to the original book, she was supposed to be taken into the secret room by Tom, then should the owner of the diary be the one who was taken into the secret room now?

Throughout the whole day, she focused on all the students around her, hoping to find some clues, but found that everyone had beaming expressions on their faces. Obviously, everyone was looking forward to the maturity of the mandrake tonight, which would make the mandrakes mature. The tense atmosphere that has been tense these days has eased.

During the whole day, unexpectedly calm, nothing happened.When the afternoon class was over, Harry took Ginny and used the invisibility cloak to hide from the professor's inspection and sneaked to the medical wing.He obviously couldn't wait to be by Hermione and Ron's side for the first time and watch them recover.And Ginny, who waited for a day without any results, simply decided to stay by Ron and Hermione's side, and wait for them to wake up before planning together.

It was quiet in the medical wing, and all the petrified students were lying there quietly.Harry ran to the innermost place familiarly, and called softly: "Ginny, this way, come and see Ron and Hermione." Before he finished speaking, his tone suddenly turned into panic, "No, what about Ron? Why isn't Ron in his bed?"

Ginny, who was looking around for the situation, suddenly turned around and ran over when she heard Harry's terrified voice, but suddenly found that the place where Ron was supposed to be lying turned out to be empty, and Ron was completely empty. disappeared.A bad premonition suddenly appeared in her heart, and she immediately dragged Harry towards the second floor of the main castle.

She rushed to the vicinity of Myrtle's bathroom at the fastest speed. Last time she left a line of writing on the wall, there was another line of writing below it. When Ginny saw what was written, she squeezed tightly He dropped his wand, almost whitening his knuckles. "Come and see me, or never see him!" The bright red handwriting is as gorgeous and complicated as the handwriting on the note on the desk in her dormitory on Valentine's Day last time. It really is Tom. What was left, told her clearly that Ron was in his hands.
