struggle

Everyone froze on the spot, looking at Ginny in disbelief, and Ginny didn't know whether to move on.However, Umbridge's wand didn't leave Ginny's direction at all, and at the same time he said proudly: "You always thought I was unconscious, but you didn't expect me to listen to everything. An underage child You can use the Unforgivable Curse, and even the Mysterious Man has admitted that you are a part of her, is there any doubt about that?" She said, carefully moving to Dumbledore's side: "Dumbledore, hurry up If this little girl is caught, she must have secretly taken refuge with the mysterious man."

Under the firelight, Dumbledore's half-moon-shaped eyes reflected a light, and it was impossible to see the true expression in his eyes.And his voice was still as steady and gentle as ever: "Ginny, you go back with us first and tell us what's going on."

Ginny bit her lip and quickly thought and analyzed the current situation. She didn't expect that Umbridge would pretend to be unconscious and hear everything.And the "one of the soul slices" mentioned by the main soul was also understood by her to mean that she was a member of the Death Eaters, and this misunderstanding made it even more difficult for her to explain everything.The only thing that can be gambled now is how much trust Dumbledore can give her, or how much trust he can give the Weasley family.

It's just that she did hide a lot of things. Although she learned about it through time travel and couldn't tell others about it, her abnormal behaviors would undoubtedly make Dumbledore feel strange and suspicious.What's more, now she still has a fused soul piece on her body.With all these complicated and even coincidental circumstances put together, with Dumbledore's suspicious character, how he would deal with her would indeed be somewhat dangerous.

But Umbridge was obviously a little impatient with their stalemate. Seeing that Dumbledore's side and Tom's side didn't move, she couldn't help being a little bolder, and raised her wand and took another step towards Ginny: "The Aurora from the Ministry of Magic is coming soon, little girl, if there is any situation, you can go to Azkaban and talk to the dementors."

Hearing what Umbridge said, Ginny looked up suddenly, no, it seems that she can't go back with Dumbledore now.Umbridge has completely hated her and wants to use her to claim credit, but Dumbledore still has doubts about her, so he may not believe her and help her.When Sirius was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he was still imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, and she didn't want to repeat his mistakes.As long as the Auror came, she really had no chance of escape.

Thinking of this, a look of despair filled her eyes, but she didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly turned around and ran towards Tom behind her.She had no choice. If she wanted to stay in the UK and clear her name, she could only stay with Tom temporarily. After all, he was a descendant of Tom Marvolo Riddle and Slytherin. A neutral figure, a figure that the Ministry of Magic would not dare to offend easily.

Seeing her running towards Tom, Umbridge screamed, "Don't let her go!" and immediately fired a series of spells, trying to stop her.After Dumbledore saw the direction she chose, he immediately showed a tired face, sighed softly, and murmured sadly: "Ginny—Ginny? Weasley—We Sly..." Then he also raised his wand, pointed at Ginny, and cast a spell that tried to confine her.

However, after seeing the direction Ginny chose, Tom suddenly evoked a satisfied smile, and immediately apparated to her side, and then waved his wand to block all the attacks for her.He hooked Ginny again, and a triumphant smile floated on his face: "Ginny, I'm glad you chose me."

Afterwards, Tom bowed slightly to the people opposite him: "Everyone, it was a wonderful night, goodbye!" After finishing speaking, he immediately disappeared in place with Ginny.And Ginny looked over there for the last time, only seeing Harry's grief-stricken and disbelieving eyes.Lucius, Bella and other Death Eaters who were loyal to Tom immediately apparated and followed. For a while, the woods returned to silence, only the members of the Order of the Phoenix were left looking at each other, and under the leadership of Fudge. , the Aurors who came late, looked at the messy blood and burnt marks all over the floor, and were relatively speechless for a while.

After being brought to the Riddle mansion by Tom, Ginny looked at Tom angrily, and threw an Avada Kedavra at him without thinking much.After Tom avoided it easily, he was not angry at all, and still looked at her calmly: "Ginny, it should be said that I saved you tonight, and you shot at the wrong target, right?"

"You saved me?" Ginny's hand holding the wand trembled, and a distorted smile forced out of her angry face, "You designed all of this. You have been designing Harry since the beginning of the game. Designing me too."

Tom still looked calm, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "I designed you? Why do you think so?"

"From deliberately creating ambiguity at the beginning, leading Dumbledore to doubt me, to embarrassing Harry several times, and implying that it was for me, until tonight, you must bring me to the duel between you and the main soul, and let him personally To expose the fact that I absorbed one of his soul pieces, isn't it all planned by you?" The anger reached the extreme, but Ginny suddenly calmed down and tied everything together.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her eyes were clear, and she completely understood all of Tom's calculations: "You deliberately didn't reveal that Umbridge was just in a fake coma, and you even intentionally put you and Umbridge together. The fight of the main soul was brought to their side, just to let her hear everything, let her testify against me, and let the Ministry of Magic intervene in this matter. On the one hand, the Ministry of Magic can confirm that the main soul has been resurrected, and can call on all The people fight against the main soul, lighten your burden. On the other hand, if the Ministry of Magic wants to detain me, Dumbledore's suspicious character will definitely not fight against the Ministry of Magic before clarifying the facts, then I have no way out. Either hang your hands and wait to die, or you can only flee."

A look of admiration appeared in Tom's eyes, and he was not afraid of Ginny pointing at his wand. Instead, he took a few steps closer to Ginny: "It's really my dear Ginny, but it's you who ran away to me. choice, isn't it?"

"No, this is also in your calculations." Ginny's eyes lit up with anger, "Dumbledore would not protect me in his name under the circumstances at the time, he would first consider the Order of the Phoenix." Safe. It is impossible for me to go with the Ministry of Magic, because once I go there, I may not even have the last chance to defend myself. The charge of Death Eater cannot be cleared so easily. Therefore, I can only go with you .But this way, the Order of the Phoenix actually confirmed my suspicion, so Dumbledore will act in the end. The only chance for me to clear my name is to cooperate with you and take refuge in you. The evidence will also be because of taking refuge in you, Riddle, I can't escape your plan at all."

At the end, Ginny finally couldn't help but shed tears, but bit her lips tightly, crying out unwilling to show weakness.Dumbledore's last few words of "Ginny—Ginny? Weasley—Weasley" seemed to be still in her ears, reminding her that she had already been regarded as a Weasley traitor, and she was still a traitor after all. She fell into Tom's calculations, was forced to be tied to him, and was completely abandoned by her own camp.

"Ginny, you don't belong to that camp, you don't belong to that savior. You are suitable for me, and you love me too. Why do you have to resist this?" Tom still persuaded him very patiently, but he only got gold. Ni's desperate and cold eyes: "Love? Why do you say love to me? Since you want to use me, why do you still use such an excuse to try to persuade me? Conquer, deceive, Riddle, you won, don't do it again!" Always remind me of my stupidest behavior, which will make me feel even more of a failure." Ginny finally couldn't hold herself back, and swayed dizzily.

Seeing Ginny's expression, an inexplicable feeling flashed in Tom's heart, and before he realized it, he stepped forward to support her.However, Ginny stubbornly shook off his hand, knowing that her magical power was not as good as his after all, she simply put away her magic wand, straightened her back as proudly as possible, turned around and walked upstairs without looking at him again , slammed the door hard.In the darkness, she finally slumped and sat on the ground, covering her face and sobbing silently.

In the next few days, Ginny locked herself in the room, thinking about all the problems.She understands that all of this is Tom's design, but she also understands that he just played a role in fueling the flames. These problems such as the soul movie do exist, and he just makes these problems obvious in advance so that she can face them earlier.Therefore, her blind resentment cannot solve the problem. Now she has to think about how to solve these problems and clear her suspicion.Thinking of this, she patted herself on the cheek, managed to cheer herself up, and found the recent "Daily Prophet", trying to understand the current situation and think about her next plan.

In the past few days, the front page of the "Daily Prophet" published news about Voldemort's return one after another. In the photo, Fudge was facing the camera with a face full of embarrassment, reminding everyone to be careful and pay attention to safety.At the same time, the interviews with Dumbledore and Harry have also become reports occupying large pages in the newspapers, as well as doubts about the Ministry of Magic, and various reports that Voldemort may have committed the murder, etc., which fully demonstrates the current public opinion. Panic, and the desperation of the Ministry of Magic.However, the newspaper unexpectedly did not mention the news that the Weasley family's youngest daughter had defected to the mysterious person, and Ginny secretly guessed whether it was because her status was too small to attract the attention of the media, or someone with a heart blocked the news , so that she is not exposed to the public.

But either way, it's a good thing for her.At least, as long as there is hope that things will be cleared up, she can return to her own home without fear of public suspicion.But in the current situation, it is not an easy task to clarify, Tom's supervision of her, Dumbledore's suspicion of her, and the hatred of the main soul for her because of absorbing that soul piece .But in any case, she knew that she couldn't sit still, and that self-pity would not solve the problem.

Putting down the newspaper, Ginny leaned against the wall, slightly closed her eyes, thinking about the current situation.The main soul has returned, and it has also become the biggest focus. Except for the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters who know that there are two Voldemorts, most of the rest of the people focus on the main soul.Moreover, according to the violent and irritable temperament of the main soul, it will indeed become the direction of everyone's attack. Therefore, she may consider solving the problem of the main soul first.

She also thought about going to Romania to find Lorian, but she also understood that if she wanted to get rid of her suspicion, she couldn't just leave, otherwise she would never come back in her life.Under the current circumstances, it may be the best choice to cooperate with Tom. After all, he has even retrieved the piece of soul in Harry's body. What is missing now is the piece that has been absorbed by her, and Nagini. The part on the body should have been almost repaired through the magic of the soul, and the magic power will not be much different from the main soul, and it may even be even worse.Moreover, he is obviously much clearer and more rational than the main soul, so he must be able to restrain the main soul.

Since his purpose is to subdue her and let her be used by him, why doesn't she just do what he wishes, help him defeat the master soul, and watch them kill each other?As long as the main soul can be destroyed, her suspicion of being a Death Eater in the Ministry of Magic can be cleared, and Dumbledore's suspicion about her relationship with Tom can be explained in another way later.

Perhaps, what she has to do now is to compromise temporarily, compromise with Tom, compromise with the situation.Thinking of this, Ginny sighed slightly, but there was a completely determined look in her eyes.She is willing to temporarily give the surrender he wants, as long as it can achieve her ultimate goal.Perhaps, she is indeed the same type of person as he said, so using unscrupulous means is sometimes an extraordinary way to deal with things in special times, but she has no choice at present.
