struggle

"Prophecy?" Ginny asked back in surprise, and then immediately understood, "You want to let the main soul know the prophecy, and then when he tries to kill the person who can resist him implied in the prophecy, you can counteract the trick and get rid of him." ?”

"Yes, that's the general direction." Tom glanced at her approvingly: "The influence of the main soul has almost been cleared, and only he himself is left, so we must find a chance to completely eliminate the last danger .And for the creation of this opportunity, I think it would be a good choice to use prophecy to lure him into the bait."

"It's just that last time he was defeated because of the prophecy. Will he still take the bait this time?" Ginny said with some uncertainty.

"Yes, I believe it will." Tom smiled lightly, "The character of the main soul is too suspicious and arrogant. Anything that may hinder his success, even if there is a slight possibility, he will try his best to destroy it and kill it in the bud. .So, he only went to kill Potter more than ten years ago to create the savior. Therefore, I believe that because of the last failure, this time he will believe in the existence of the prophecy even more, and worry The demise predicted by the prophecy. What I have to do is to turn the prophecy into reality."

"It's just, what does this prophecy indicate? Could it still be related to Harry?" Ginny asked suspiciously.She guessed the meaning of the first few sentences, but never figured out the last sentence. The middle force between day and night should refer to the Death Eaters led by Tom, that is, the gray area between black and white.However, she always felt that there was a lack of clues to connect all this together, so she glanced at Dumbledore inquiringly.Unexpectedly, when Dumbledore noticed her gaze, he froze suddenly, then shook his head at her, looking at her apologetically.

When Ginny was a little puzzled, Tom said again: "Perhaps, this prophecy is better explained by me, after all, it involves me." He paused, before Ginny turned his attention to Behind him, he continued: "First of all, the previous few sentences 'the wheel of fate has deviated from the track, those who will die will not die, and those who will return will return early' This should not be difficult to understand. It refers to the return of the main soul and my soul. Materialization. Although I don't know why the 'wheel of fate has deviated from the track', I think this may have indicated that the previous prophecy has failed."

Ginny nodded silently, expressing her understanding.Perhaps, only she knows why "the wheel of fate has deviated from the track", and it should be her time travel and intervention that changed the original historical trend.However, this is a fact that she must never tell anyone, and she must hide it.

After seeing Ginny nod, Tom continued: "As for 'darkness devours darkness, the lord's followers kill each other', that should imply the division within the Death Eaters and the struggle between me and the main soul. "Speaking of this, he looked at Ginny again with deep meaning.

Ginny gave Tom a hard look in embarrassment, knowing that he was referring to the private release of Peter that she had concealed.But after seeing Ginny's expression, Tom raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and continued the topic just now, "And the last sentence is also the most critical sentence, 'the difference between day and night is beyond the boundary line', it is actually this time I want to take advantage of it."

"How to use it?" Ginny asked as calmly as possible, while quietly holding her hand.She thought, she had already guessed what Tom might do, no wonder he asked her to participate in the discussion and said that her cooperation was needed, no wonder Dumbledore just said that this prophecy had nothing to do with Harry, but revealed to her Such a guilty look.Tom's approach is to complete the cooperation with the Order of the Phoenix and destroy the main soul together, and at the same time force her to not continue to escape their relationship, and must disclose their relationship.

Sure enough, after seeing Ginny's knowing eyes, Tom smiled and nodded: "You should have guessed it, Ginny, you are the key to the battle between black and white, and you are outside the boundary that determines the difference between day and night." " He looked determined, knowing that Ginny could not refuse his proposal no matter whether she considered the Order of the Phoenix or her own position.

"Ginny, it's because of you that you brought out Prince Simmore of Romania and allowed Tom and I to cooperate. Therefore, Tom thinks that the last sentence of the prophecy refers to you as the key person, so he wants you to be the one who lures the main soul into the bait." One of the bait." Dumbledore stepped in suddenly, with a trace of worry in his blue eyes, "It's just that you have just grown up, and it is indeed difficult for you to take on such a huge responsibility."

"It's okay, Professor Dumbledore, I believe that Ginny has this ability, and I will also ensure her safety." Tom had a half-smile expression on his face, and then showed a meaningful look at Ginny, " After all, it is because of you that I, a third-party force, exists, and it is also because of you that I am willing to cooperate with the Order of the Phoenix, isn't it?" His voice gradually softened, and when he said the last few sentences, he was almost Whispering in a low whisper that only he and Ginny could hear, it seemed to carry a hint of ambiguity, but it also seemed to hint at things she still kept from the Order of the Phoenix.

"According to the prophecy, the people who can counter him should refer to you and me?" Ginny deliberately ignored Tom's words, and calmly analyzed the current situation, "So the key now is to lure him to find him." You and me, what is your specific plan?"

"I've already discussed with Professor Dumbledore. Using the excuse that I was attacked by the Order of the Phoenix, I pretended to be seriously injured, so that the main soul can relax its vigilance and think that there is an opportunity." Tom explained to Ginny that he and Dumbledore The plan that was drawn up, "And you, just appeared under this excuse, stayed by my side in the name of taking care of me, and created the opportunity for the main soul to catch everything he thought."

"Two questions." Ginny grasped the loophole keenly. "First, in the eyes of the main soul, I am already dead. How can I explain the reason for my sudden appearance? Second, what excuse do I use to stay by your side?" ?”

"It's very simple. In fact, these two points can even be counted as one point. Moreover, this may not be a loophole, but a good reason to prompt the main soul to act." Tom smiled slightly, "The first point is that you are not dead. It makes the main soul more curious and even frustrated. He will not allow himself to fail, so when he sees you appearing unharmed, he will want to kill you even more. As for the reason, it can be said that he has me inside. It was I who sent you out so that he could suspect his few remaining followers and make them kill each other."

"What about the second point?" Ginny asked, but when she saw Tom's calculating eyes, she had a bad feeling.

"The second point is easier to explain. Since I rescued you in the first place, then what you said to him at the beginning is naturally a lie. You have been away all these years, just because I was afraid that you would be in danger, so I sent you out of the UK That's all, but coming back now is naturally because I was worried because I heard that I was hurt. As for the excuse of staying by my side——" Tom suddenly showed a somewhat playful smile, "What about the name of fiancee?"

"Why do you use the name of your fiancée?" Ginny asked a little annoyed, knowing that he was deliberately implying what Lorian had said before, and at the same time making it impossible for her to deny her relationship with him.

"Then do you have any better proposals? After all, you can't let the main soul know that you have returned to the Order of the Phoenix, let alone let him know about my cooperation with the Order of the Phoenix, lest he suspect my plan. Instead, let you go to the Order in the open." Draw the boundaries of the Order of the Phoenix and stand on my side completely. Is there a better identity than his fiancée that he can trust?" Tom explained with perfect reasons, and at the same time looked at Dumbledore, "And, The identities of such a fiancée can make the main soul believe in the existence of the prophecy, and believe that I will kill Ginny for the safety of Ginny, Professor Dumbledore, what do you think?"

Dumbledore pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "Ginny, this seems to be the best excuse, you can go back to the Riddle mansion in this capacity for a while, the Phoenix Society is secretly protecting you of."

"No, it's not necessary." Tom interrupted suddenly, rejecting Dumbledore's proposal, "I will be responsible for Ginny's safety, but the Riddle Mansion does not need the protection and occupation of the Order of the Phoenix." He looked at Deng with a smile. Bullido, understood his temptation, but also expressed his still guard against the Order of the Phoenix.

After the two looked at each other for a while, Dumbledore leaned back in his chair: "Well, I won't let the Order of the Phoenix get too close to the Riddle Mansion. If you need help, you can send me a signal , and, if Ginny needs help, you must let her contact us in time."

"Yes, I agree." Tom nodded, indicating that there is no problem. "Then, the first thing we need to do now is to let the main soul know about this prophecy."

"The person who told him the prophecy must be someone we can believe, and the main soul can also believe." Dumbledore murmured, a thoughtful gleam flashed in his eyes.

"It's not difficult to choose, isn't Snape the best candidate?" Tom said casually, "After all, he was the one who told the main soul the prophecy more than ten years ago, wasn't he?"

"Severus?" Dumbledore repeated his name in a low voice, and then asked tentatively, "This time it's also he who prophesied, can the main soul continue to believe it?"

"Snape is very cautious in doing things. I believe he can let the main soul know this prophecy at the right time and in the right way." Tom smiled playfully, then glanced at Dumbledore meaningfully, "No matter how suspicious People can also trust Snape very much, so I think he should be the one that all three of us can trust."

Looking at Tom's calm expression, Dumbledore was a little disturbed by the implication of his words, wondering uncertainly how much he knew about Snape's identity.But Tom didn't say anything more, just stood up with a smile: "Now that the general plan is arranged, I'll take my leave first." Then, he glanced at Ginny again: "Then we will See you in a few days, Ginny."

After bowing slightly to her, Tom left the principal's room.After confirming that he had left, Ginny also stood up: "Professor Dumbledore, if there is nothing else, I will go first. I want to go back and prepare. After you have arranged everything, I will past."

"Okay, Ginny, goodbye!" Dumbledore forced a smile, but couldn't hide the trace of fatigue on his face.Ginny sighed secretly, and after bowing to him, she also left Hogwarts.

A few days later, news came that Tom was seriously injured in the battle between the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix. Ginny also received a notification from Dumbledore, asking her to prepare and go to the Riddle Mansion.

After being notified, Ginny packed her luggage, sorted out some potions she brewed and commonly used magic books, and prepared to take them to Riddle's mansion together.While doing the final tidying, Molly walked in and patted her on the shoulder lightly: "Ginny, someone is looking for you."

"Who is it?" Ginny asked casually while arranging things.Judging by Molly's expression, she wasn't angry, so it probably wasn't Tom who came.Moreover, according to the original plan, it was also agreed not to expose the fact that she returned to the Order of the Phoenix, so Tom should not let the Death Eaters come to pick him up.Therefore, she guessed that it should be someone from the Order of the Phoenix, sent by Dumbledore to give her some instructions or something.

However, Molly's expression seemed a little strange. After all, she should be very excited and enthusiastic when she saw the people of the Order of the Phoenix.However, she had an awkward expression on her face, and after sighing, she said softly, "It's Harry, Harry is here."

Ginny suddenly put down what she was holding, and instantly understood Molly's weird expression.Molly must have found it hard to face Harry after knowing she was in love with Tom.And since she came back from Romania, she hasn't had the chance to meet Harry, partly because they are busy with their own affairs, and partly because she doesn't know how to face Harry.And Harry probably felt the same way, that's why they kept deliberately pretending to be busy and not contacting or meeting each other.As for his coming today, he must have finally sorted out his mood.

After taking a deep breath, she looked at Molly: "Mom, please tell Harry to wait a moment, I will go down right away." She knew that she was indeed sorry for Harry, at least, she owed her an explanation.So, since Harry still came, she had to go see him and apologize to him herself.
