struggle

After Tom left, Fox nudged Ginny, then flew to Harry's side, beckoning to Ginny.Ginny sighed slightly, raised her wand towards Harry, cast a Healing Charm, and - a Forgetting Charm.Regarding the conversation between Tom and her, and the part of her true situation that Tom deliberately wanted to reveal to Harry, she can only choose to let him forget, at least for now, she still needs the identity of this innocent little girl, and cannot let Harry, Even Dumbledore became suspicious.

Under her treatment, Harry slowly opened his eyes, his eyes showed a moment of confusion, and then he stood up nervously: "Ginny, are you injured? Where is that Riddle?"

Ginny pointed to Fox beside him: "This is Principal Dumbledore's phoenix, it saved us. That Riddle saw it and knew that Principal Dumbledore was nearby, so he ran away. I'm fine."

"That Riddle turned out to be Voldemort? We must tell Headmaster Dumbledore the news as soon as possible." Harry still looked shocked, as if he couldn't believe that he had once again survived the hands of his destined enemy.

"Harry, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I just thought it was fun. I didn't discover the secret of that diary earlier, so that he would have the opportunity to hurt you." Ginny lowered her head and began to cry, showing guilt and remorse expression.But she also understood that it was indeed her miscalculation this time, and the plot had been taken off track by her.

"No, Ginny, it's not your fault. How did you know it was such a dangerous thing?" Harry frantically comforted Ginny, "Let's get out of here first, and Principal Dumbledore will find a solution."

Harry walked up to Lockhart who was lying down, stretched out his hand and sniffed him, "Professor Lockhart is still breathing, let's take him up together." Saying this, he carefully picked up Ron, and then He looked awkwardly at Lockhart, then at Ginny.Seeing Harry's expression, Fox suddenly flew to his side, flapped his wings, swayed the long golden feathers behind his tail, and chirped a few times.

"It seems that Fox will take us up." Ginny also walked over, took Lockhart's hand with one hand, and then grabbed Fox's tail with the other, "Harry, hold Ron, hold me robe."

After they pulled back one by one, Fox raised his head and let out a cry, then flew up with a whimper, passed the long corridor all the way, ascended along the pipe, and flew out of Myrtle's bathroom, directly It landed in front of Professor McGonagall's office at the end of the corridor.

Ginny let go of Fox's hand and knocked lightly on the office door.The door was jerked open from the inside, and Molly rushed out, and screamed after seeing their situation: "Ginny, Harry, what's going on with you? And Ron, How is he?"

Arthur came out after him, and put his hand on Molly's shoulder: "Molly, don't get excited, send Ron to Madam Pomfrey first, he needs the mandrake to relieve his petrified state, The rest, I think Harry and Ginny will tell us."

"Yes, Arthur, Molly, let the children in first. Minerva, please take Weasley to the hospital wing and hand it over to Bobby." Dumbledore stood up, glanced at them, and then He said with his usual kind expression, "And Gildero, it seems that he also needs Bobby's treatment."

Professor McGonagall nodded, walked to them, and first checked Lockhart's situation with a spell: "Principal Dumbledore, Professor Lockhart's situation seems to be a bit troublesome, he only has a little vitality left. , It may not be possible to recover. I will let Madam Pomfrey check it first, if it doesn’t work, I will send him to St. Mungo’s Hospital directly.”

"Okay, Minerva, you decide according to the situation." Dumbledore nodded to Professor McGonagall, and after getting Dumbledore's consent, Professor McGonagall directly used the Levitating Charm to levitate Ron and Lohar Te went out and closed the door behind them.

"Okay, children, sit down first." Dumbledore motioned Harry and Ginny to sit on the chairs in front of his desk, then waved his wand and summoned two glasses of lemon and honey water, "Then tell us , what have you guys been through?"

Ginny made a frightened look and looked at Harry uneasily, but Harry hesitated for a moment, took the diary from Ginny, and handed it to Dumbledore: "Principal Dumbledore, the matter Let’s start with Ginny getting a strange diary.” He said what Ginny told him one by one, and then talked about the writing on the wall, they entered the secret room together, and even met the person who claimed to be Tom Marvolo Riddle of Voldemort's past, until he was knocked unconscious at the end, and when he woke up, he had already left the secret room, leaving only this diary.It's just because of Ginny's Forgetting Curse that he obviously doesn't remember the face-to-face confrontation and conversation between Tom and Ginny, and Ginny just keeps her head down, as if she was greatly frightened, and has A very guilty look.

After hearing Harry's words, Dumbledore turned to Ginny again: "Miss Weasley, what about you, is there anything else you need to add? For example, what did you talk to him earlier, and in the Chamber of Secrets, What did Harry do after he passed out?"

"I didn't talk about anything before. I just talked about my school life, my thoughts and so on." Ginny deliberately glanced at Harry next to him, blushing slightly, "After entering the secret room, he I also talked a lot with Harry, and he seemed to be very interested in Harry. After Harry passed out, I wanted to threaten him with the diary, but he said that the diary was useless to him. Then, he wanted the basilisk Kill Harry, but at that moment your phoenix came, so he ran away."

Ginny deliberately directed all the talk to Harry to cover up her behavior.After she stopped talking, Dumbledore didn't speak for a moment, but Molly rushed over anxiously: "Ginny, how can you keep talking to that strange thing, such a dangerous thing, you should have told Ours. How are you feeling now, is there anything else wrong?"

Ginny sobbed and threw herself into Molly's arms: "I didn't expect him to cause such a big trouble. I found it from my book. I thought you gave it to me. Because Percy is a prefect very Busy, George and Fred have to work on their own inventions, and even Ron has his own business, so I have no one to talk to, I thought it was you who chatted with me to amuse me. By the time I found out that something was wrong, it was too late .”

Molly patted her distressedly and didn't say anything else, but Dumbledore also stepped in, smiling kindly: "Indeed, Miss Weasley can't be blamed, she won't know how evil that thing is, but Voldemort has always been good at deceiving people. I suggest that Miss Weasley go to the medical wing to rest for a while, Harry, could you please send her to Madam Pomfrey first? Then please come back, I still need to talk to Let's talk again and ask about the situation at that time." After speaking, he gestured to Arthur and Molly, obviously wanting to distract Harry and Ginny and have a few words with them alone.

Harry stood up and pulled Ginny up, saluted Dumbledore, and was about to leave.Ginny secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, Dumbledore still focused on Harry, and what Harry knew would never involve her again. She should be safe.But what she still needs to consider now is how to let Dumbledore know Tom's true identity as much as possible without revealing her true situation, so that they can deal with Tom in a targeted manner.

So, after walking to the door, Ginny glanced back at Dumbledore again, deliberately acting as if he hesitated to speak.Dumbledore obviously noticed her abnormality, and smiled at her encouragingly: "Miss Weasley, do you have anything else to say?"

"I just suddenly remembered a strange word that he said after Harry passed out. At that time, he wanted the basilisk to attack Harry, and he said softly that he would not offend the master again. He won't do anything to Harry himself." Ginny bit her lower lip, her face full of confusion, "Master Soul, what is that?"

Hearing Ginny's words, Dumbledore's blue eyes behind the half-moon glasses seemed to flash a pensive look, but it was almost impossible to catch it, but Ginny was staring at him intently. , only to find that glimmer of light.She knew with satisfaction that Dumbledore had clearly understood what she was referring to.However, of course Dumbledore would not explain to her what a main soul is, he just winked at her kindly: "Okay, Miss Weasley, if you still think of anything strange, you are welcome to tell me anytime. Now, you go to rest first, presumably your brother and the students should have woken up."

After walking out of the office, Ginny closed the door dawdly on purpose, just in time to hear Dumbledore say: "Arthur, Molly, according to what these two children said, there might be big troubles, we have to prepare. If necessary, the Order of the Phoenix may have to reconvene."

She faintly evoked a smile, and followed Harry who was waiting for her in front.She understood that Tom would not let her go so easily, but it must take some time for him to recover and accumulate strength.If the Order of the Phoenix can be reconvened, Tom will not be able to keep an eye on her with all his strength.The summer vacation is coming soon, and she will take this opportunity to integrate the remaining magical powers given to her by Lorian as soon as possible, and completely digest the magic that Tom taught her.And after Dumbledore confronts Tom, what she has to do is to contribute to the flames, abide by her role as a supporting role, and help Harry as much as possible, so as to avoid her own danger.
