Chapter 22 Entering the Chamber of Secrets

Seeing the writing on the wall, Harry turned to Ginny with a questioning look, and Ginny's expression was unprecedentedly solemn: "Ron was brought into the Chamber of Secrets, and the heir of Slytherin Yes, we will go in." Looking at Harry's puzzled eyes, she took a deep breath and added, "This line is reserved for me, I must go in. And you, he knows that only you are Parseltongue , and the opening of the secret room must use snake language."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go in now." Harry took out his wand with a firm expression on his face.

"However, I can't be sure what will happen inside. He might want to kill us both." Ginny didn't think Tom would simply want to meet her and Harry.

"But Ron is inside, we have to go in and save him, otherwise, he will definitely die." Harry's body trembled a little, but he still looked at Ginny without flinching, "Ginny, or, tell me about the Chamber of Secrets?" The entrance, I'll go in, you wait outside."

"No, I have to go in." Ginny smiled wryly. Since Tom left his handwriting, he said that he would not let her go, and if Harry was allowed to go in alone, he didn't know what the consequences would be.At least, she still knows his weakness, and hopes to help Harry recover from her mistakes and correct this out-of-control plot.

Ginny took Harry's hand, which was unexpectedly warm and dry, which relieved the cold dampness on hers and gave her some courage and confidence.Harry is indeed the real Gryffindor, and his courage in the face of danger is indeed incomparable to her.Under Harry's worried eyes, she raised her head and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Okay, let's go."

Snake language was spoken to the faucet with the little snake carved on it, and the dark hole appeared in front of Ginny again.Harry jumped down first, and Ginny cast a Levitation Charm on herself, and followed. The hole slowly closed behind them, cutting off the last ray of light, and making their eyes suddenly dark.

After sliding to the lower end of the pipe, Harry immediately turned around to catch Ginny after landing, allowing her to stand on the ground smoothly.Borrowing a little bit of "fluorescent flickering", the two walked forward together, the long corridor, many turns, the same scene as the last time they came, but today, it made her feel extraordinarily gloomy The terrifying atmosphere, perhaps, is for the unknown ahead.So far, she still hasn't found out who Tom is possessed by, so she doesn't know who else will be waiting ahead, whether they can get out of here alive, only her and Harry's footsteps echoed heavily in the In the silent corridor.

When she finally reached the wall surrounded by twin snakes, Ginny motioned for Harry to speak Parseltongue again, then raised her wand to her chest, ready for any eventuality.When the wall burst open in front of them, what appeared in front of them was not the darkness as they thought, but an unexpected bright light, which made Harry and Ginny, who were used to the darkness, uncomfortable for a moment, and reflexively He closed his eyes, unable to see clearly the situation in front of him.

Ginny suddenly raised her heart, opened her eyes reluctantly, and pointed the tip of her wand at the same time.However, Tom didn't take advantage of this opportunity to attack them, so that all the magic power she mobilized failed to condense to the tip of the wand.After getting used to the light, Ginny saw that Harry's nervous expression was not as good as when he first came in, and she couldn't help sighing, Tom, sure enough, Harry was fighting, but he was still a little bit worse.From the tension in the darkness along the way, to the stimulation of seeing the light in the secret room, to the relaxation after receiving the unexpected attack, Harry had already lost his early morale before the face-to-face, and he could no longer gather together. Enough fighting spirit to arouse your own potential.

Seeing no movement for a long time, Ginny pulled Harry up and walked towards the secret room step by step.When he walked under the statue of Slytherin, he saw Tom coming out of the shadows with a relaxed and casual expression: "Welcome to the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, the famous Harry Potter, and—" He paused, and a meaningful smile floated on his face, "My capricious Miss Ginny Weasley." His appearance is not the vain and unclear soul body she thought, but has substance Sensation, and his weird smile made her take a step back involuntarily.

Harry protected Ginny behind him, and pointed his wand at Tom: "Who are you? Where is Ron? What are you going to do?"

"Three questions, let's answer one by one." Tom leaned leisurely on a stone pillar and kept spinning the wand in his hand, "First of all, the first question, please allow me to introduce myself, I am Tom? Volo Riddle, or, as you are more familiar with my other name—Lordvoldemort."

"Voldemort?" Harry called out in disbelief.

"Yes, voldemort." Tom waved his wand casually, and the three words Tom Marvolo Riddle appeared in mid-air, and then automatically rearranged into "Iamlord voldemort", and then slowly hidden.

Harry's hand holding Ginny visibly trembled, and Tom laughed more happily: "Then, the second question, Ronald? Weasley, he's fine, he's still petrified, he can be revived, just Whether you have this opportunity or not depends on your own choices." He pointed to the shadow of the statue, where two people lay impressively.

"Who is the other one?" Ginny asked, she knew that the other one must be the later owner of the diary, the person Tom possessed.

"Another person, then we have to ask our dear little Ginny." Tom straightened up and took a few steps closer, looking at Ginny, "Your charm, after a professor finds out that you have dropped something, he will think about it." To serve you and help you send it back. It's just that later, he didn't have this opportunity."

"Lockhart?" Ginny suddenly understood who he was referring to, and finally connected everything.She should have thought that Lockhart also went to the second floor that day, and Filch must have asked him to help stop the continuous flow of water from Myrtle's bathroom, so he saw the diary there and thought it was her lost of.And because she impressed Lockhart too deeply, unlike the insignificant ordinary student in the original book, he wanted to help her return her diary, which eventually caused all the plots to get out of control.

"Yes, Lockhart, what an interesting man, isn't he?" Tom said in a relaxed tone as if he was talking about the weather, and at the same time gently stroked the wand in his hand, "His vanity makes him too easy to control, it's easy to Opened his soul to me. With the help of dear little Ginny up front, and Lockhart's life force, I think I've finally got what I wanted, and, with it, a nice wand."

"Then what are you going to do? Why did you capture Ron?" Harry's breath was short of breath, in stark contrast to Tom's laid-back attitude.

"The third question, I was about to answer." Tom said softly, "I just want to see you, Harry Potter. I have heard too many stories about you, the legend that defeated my future savior , but, I'm a little disappointed." He shook his head regretfully, then stared at Ginny again, "There is another purpose, I think my little Ginny, you understand better."

"Don't try to hurt Ginny. And Ron, I'll take them away safely today." Harry tried to move his body, blocking Tom's view of Ginny, that kind of eyes, so familiar with meaning Attitude made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Harry, maybe you should first ask if Ginny needs your protection?" Tom smiled sarcastically, watching Harry's protective action mockingly.

Harry wanted to say something more, but Ginny gently pulled Harry over and looked at Tom: "Tom, I admit that I did deceive you and use you, but you didn't try to deceive me and use me in the same way." What’s more, I don’t think you will only do it for this reason. But Ruo Ni wants to kill us, and in your current state, you are still very unstable, even if you add Hai Erbo, you may not have a complete chance of winning.”

"Ginny, I did miss you back then, but obviously, I admire your true colors more." There was a hint of interest in Tom's eyes, mixed with some rewards, "So, don't take the so-called hero worship of little girls back then." Trying to fool around with an excuse, following me would be a better choice for you."

"Unfortunately, this is impossible." As soon as Ginny finished speaking, she immediately raised her wand and started the attack first. A series of spells pointed directly at where Tom was, forcing him to leave Slytherin's room because of dodging. next to the statue.Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, she quickly ran over and picked up the diary beside Lockhart.

"Smart girl." Seeing Ginny's actions, Tom didn't show any anxious expression, but smiled indifferently, "Unfortunately, it's no longer useful to me." He said, looking at The statue behind Ginny, accompanied by hissing snake language, the statue vibrated, and there was a sound of something crawling upwards from inside.Ginny immediately realized what he was going to do, immediately left the statue, and pulled Harry away: "Harry, he summoned the basilisk, remember, just protect yourself by feeling later, don't look at it directly s eyes."

Hai Erbo fell to the ground, raised his head under Tom's order, swallowed the scarlet letter, and attacked Harry viciously.And Ginny took advantage of this opportunity and raised her wand to Tom again.She mobilized all her magic power and chanted the spell silently. The tip of the wand shot out various rays of light, intertwining and attacking Tom, but he resolved them one by one, and his eyes glowed with excitement: "It seems that in normal times During your studies, you still hide your own strength. Ginny, you are more suitable for me than I thought, follow me, and you will have a more brilliant future."

Ginny gritted her teeth and said nothing, only focusing on trying to cast the most spells with the least amount of magic power.Tom has just acquired the entity, and his state is still unstable. She just needs to hold him back, try to consume his magic power, and wait until the moment when he can't continue, and then try to hit him with one blow.

In the huge secret room, only the sound of heavy breathing and the rubbing sound of Haierbo moving his body and crushing the gravel on the ground were heard for a while.Suddenly, not far away, Harry, who was casting a spell with his eyes closed and avoiding Hai Erbo's attack, yelled and fell to the ground, and then remained motionless. Apparently he was tripped by a stone on the ground while dodging, and fainted. past.But Haierbo didn't stop, and still slowly swam towards Harry, trying to bite him with his mouth wide open.Ginny terrified and cast a spell towards Haierbo's back, but she couldn't stop it from moving forward.However, Tom suddenly made a hissing sound, and Hai Erbo stopped immediately.

"It seems that even if you are not really obsessed with this savior as you said, he obviously has a special effect on you. Then you say, if he understands everything and knows your true face, would it be interesting? ?” Seeing Ginny staring at him unexpectedly and warily, Tom’s voice became softer, but his smile became more strange: “Then let me wake him up, Cruciatus!”

No!Hearing that taboo word, Ginny rushed towards him subconsciously, trying to pull away the unconscious Harry, but at the same time, that ray of light flew over and happened to hit Ginny.The calculation was wrong, she lowered her head and clenched her teeth, preparing to endure the excruciating pain, but found that there was no pain as she thought.After a short period of shock, she suddenly understood, and excitedly held the pendant around her neck.It turned out that the three unforgivable curses directly act on the soul, and the pendant that Lorian gave her helped her again.In that case, she still has a chance.

She stood up as confidently as possible, and sneered at Tom: "Tom, the Unforgivable Curse is not perfect. Next, are you going to try the Avada Kedavra Curse?" She was betting Bet Tom wouldn't try it when he wasn't sure, because if she could resist the Avada Kedavra, he'd be defeated.

Tom really showed a slightly surprised expression: "Ginny, you always seem to give me some surprises. I really won't try Avada Kedavra on you lightly, I hope you can figure it out, it is you who help me The best choice. As for Harry—” he motioned for Harper to attack, “he must die.”

Hai Erbo was about to move, but Ginny could only raise her wand, watching Hai Erbo's movements nervously, preventing it from attacking suddenly.At this moment, there was an ethereal and mysterious sound of music floating from a high place. Accompanied by the illusory sound of music getting higher and higher, flames suddenly spewed out from the top of the nearest stone pillar, and then, a crimson The bird fell from the sky, landed beside Ginny, and stared at Hai Erbo.

Phoenix, Ginny was a little surprised, it must be Dumbledore's pet Fawkes.At the same time, Tom obviously recognized the bird, and then suddenly laughed: "It seems that Dumbledore did not leave Hogwarts so easily. Since even Fox is here, he must be here soon As he said, he glanced at Ginny and Harry who was lying on the ground again: "Well, I don't think I need to rush to solve all the problems today, after all, there will be a long time to come. We will see you again, Ginny."

Under his call, Haierbo turned into a little snake and quickly wrapped his arms around his arm, while he slightly bowed towards Ginny, and then disappeared suddenly.

After he left, Ginny sat on the ground collapsed, trying her best to hold on for so long, she was almost unable to hold on.Fortunately, Tom had just recovered, so he chose to leave immediately after seeing Fox, keeping himself first.But Tom finally materialized, and she thought she had to make a new plan for the future.

The author has something to say: Huh, I finally finished it, so Tom cruise materialized and left the diary, Ginny was about to start to be sad, so the plot also started, derailed...
