struggle

In order for the main soul to act as soon as possible, Tom kept spreading false news to the outside world, including that he was so seriously injured that he was still unconscious, and that the Order of the Phoenix was continuing to attack his Death Eaters when they were leaderless , causing heavy losses to his forces, and Ginny was always by his side.According to Snape's report, after learning all this, the main soul has been in a very good mood these days, and even the Cruciatus punishment for his subordinates has been reduced a lot.

In the Riddle mansion, facing the news about the actions of the main soul, Tom also showed a confident smile that everything was under control. Obviously, the main soul was relaxing his vigilance step by step according to his arrangement. More and more deceived in the illusion he created.He handed the parchment with the news to Ginny who was sitting on the side, and said sarcastically: "The main soul has said several times that he will let this prophecy end in his hands, so that the magic world will no longer be Dare to defy him. After getting rid of us, he also plans to kill Harry Potter and Dumbledore. Obviously, he can't help it anymore, and he is going to attack us."

Ginny quickly glanced at the contents of the parchment, and also showed a faint smile: "After all, this opportunity is so rare, and the situation seems to be completely favorable to him. With his character, he naturally wants to take advantage of this opportunity. Completely cut off everyone's expectations, so that no one in the magic world dares to resist him."

"How unstable and irritable and impulsive the split of the soul will be, I have the deepest experience in the main soul. He made himself into such a pathetic situation, obviously, because of the insufficiency of the soul After that, I completely lost my sanity." Tom had a slight contempt in his eyes, and shook his head as if regretfully.

Ginny caressed the last line of the parchment lightly: "It says on it, the main soul once threatened that you will not survive your joint birthday, so based on this calculation, he is likely to die in these two days." coming."

"I'm very much looking forward to his arrival, in our ancestral home, to settle the matter between us." Tom leaned back in his chair, talking casually, while slowly flicking his fingers over the wand in his hand.The tail feathers of yew and phoenix, thirteen and a half inches long, belonged to his wand, but no longer to the master soul, like everything else, would eventually fall into his hands to correct the master soul's mistakes , to restore the glory of Slytherin.When everything was going according to his calculations, perhaps, the only thing he couldn't be sure of right now was the only feeling that he couldn't completely use rational calculations to force - Ginny.Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his head, and looked at her who was sitting on the sofa not far away, studying all the reports intently, trying to analyze the main soul's power trends.

Sensing his urgent gaze, Ginny looked up at him from the parchment: "Why, is there anything we missed?" She thought he had remembered something important about the main soul, and that's why he suddenly said so solemnly. looked at her.

However, Tom shook his head: "Ginny, I just suddenly thought of something else." He paused, and asked slowly in Ginny's questioning eyes: "When we defeat the main soul, are you How did you plan? Or, are you still going to continue to recognize the title of my fiancée?"

Ginny didn't expect him to raise this question suddenly. After a moment of surprise, she said vaguely: "This time, I use this name just to find an excuse for me to be by your side so that I can deceive the main soul and let you and the Order of the Phoenix have a private meeting." The cooperation below can go smoothly. After defeating him, as long as you are willing to continue to cooperate with the Order of the Phoenix, you don't need any name. You and Professor Dumbledore can also disclose your cooperation relationship. Presumably the entire magic world will welcome you This decision."

"No, I don't mean the relationship between me and the Order of the Phoenix, I just mean the relationship between me and you." Tom suddenly got up and walked in front of her, "Ginny, what are you thinking?" He Knowing that since Ginny came back from Romania, she has been avoiding their relationship, and because he is busy arranging things with the main soul, he has not forced her.But now, everything has been arranged, and he has brought her to his side as he wished, so he must take this opportunity to let her face up to their relationship and solve their problems thoroughly.

Ginny bit her lower lip silently, not knowing how to answer.Perhaps, she did have an unbroken affection for him, but she still couldn't fully trust him.Last time, she decisively rehearsed the feigned death scene because she believed that he would always choose the best way for her, so she guessed that he would sacrifice her, and the final fact was indeed as she expected. It's over.Now that he has admitted his regret, how much can she believe?

Seeing Ginny's hesitation, Tom stroked her lips: "After solving the main soul, it's the problem between me and Dumbledore. We can indeed cooperate, but he will never let go of his guard against me." So, if I were to marry you, I think he would be very happy, after all, if my wife is a member of the Order of the Phoenix, it would be a good leverage for him. But, Ginny, I don't want to When the time comes, you will marry me for this reason, even if I resort to unscrupulous means, I don't want my marriage to become a transaction."

Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed Ginny's lips, domineeringly plundering everything she had, declaring his ownership.Then, before Ginny could react, he moved away a little bit and looked at her with serious eyes: "I am willing to admit that I am still captured by the feelings I used to despise after all, love, that is too much for me." Things that are too unfamiliar, but they didn't leave because of my resistance and disdain, Ginny, I just need an answer from you now."

Although he spoke in an inquiring tone, the expression in his eyes clearly indicated that he did not accept his rejection, nor would he really give up because of her rejection.Looking at Ginny's hesitant eyes, he smiled slightly: "I will give you time to think through everything, Ginny, I respect your choice, but I also believe that you will definitely choose mine." After answering all the questions, he was sure that Ginny would eventually admit his feelings.

After dinner the next day, Tom and Ginny read books in their study as usual.When the time was close to eight o'clock, Tom suddenly raised his head, and after looking at Ginny who was also aware of it, he hooked his mouth and said, "It's finally here, Ginny, let's go to welcome the guests together."

Ginny nodded, got up and took out Felicia Felicia from the cabinet, raised her head and drank half of it, then handed the other half to Tom.After Tom drank the same, she drew out her wand, took a deep breath, calmed down her slightly nervous mood, followed Tom, and walked out of the study.

In the hall downstairs, the main soul was looking at the familiar surroundings.Under Tom's deliberate arrangement, all the furnishings were restored to the original appearance of the Riddle Mansion, exactly the same as when the main soul remembered that he came to kill his father and grandparents at the age of 16.That nightmarish scene suddenly reminded him of the most shameful memory he ever had, and unconsciously tightened his hand holding the magic wand, a ferocious look appeared on his face, and his bright red eyes seemed to glow. A layer of blood.He raised his wand slowly, moving his lips as if to cast a destructive spell on everything around him.

Before the exit of his spell, there were footsteps on the stairs, and Tom walked down slowly, accompanied by his leisurely words: "Master soul, welcome home, I believe you will be the same as me for everything around here." I have a deep memory. I still remember that it was after you left here that I was born. It can be said that this is our common ancestral home, which is of great significance to us."

Tom's casual expression, accompanied by a somewhat mocking tone, pointed directly at the life experience that the main soul hated the most, reminding him of his sad bloodline and origin, and made him immediately realize that the so-called serious injuries he had heard these days The news was all at Tom's behest, and all of this was simply a trap for him.He squinted his eyes and stared at Tom with resentment: "I didn't expect that you would surrender to the Order of the Phoenix. You can do such a shameful thing. No wonder you admit that this is your ancestral home. Only you will Acknowledge your filthy blood."

"No, it's just cooperation and mutual use. The purpose of Slytherin has always been to know how to adapt and take advantage of the situation, and your recklessness is no longer reckless like a Slytherin." Tom played with the wand in his hand, Every sentence mentioned what the main soul hated the most, "As for the bloodline, it cannot be erased whether you admit it or not, so I don't deny him, but I can surpass him. Even if I have Muggle bloodlines, it can't cover up my The blood of Slytherin, and I will use myself to restore the glory of Slytherin, so that the world will only see my glorious name and remember my identity as a descendant of Slytherin. But you, the main soul, you It's just that I'm afraid, afraid to face your Muggle blood, in fact, in my opinion, your behavior is precisely influenced by the half of Muggle blood you despise, just like our father, stupid and cowardly."

Hearing Tom's deliberate contemptuous tone in the last accentuated sentence, the main soul finally broke out with a strong pressure, and pressed towards Tom with a burst of anger: "You are just a soul piece, do you still want to tell me?" We', still dreaming of becoming the orthodox descendants of Slytherin. Since you are so impatient to die, then I will fulfill you." As soon as the words fell, the tip of his staff immediately shot out a green light, obviously irritated by Tom's behavior Lost all sanity.

Tom evoked a smile that fit his heart, and quickly greeted him, and Ginny behind him had mobilized all her magic power secretly and was ready when the two of them were confronting each other in words.After Tom and the main soul started fighting, she immediately followed the original plan and went around behind the main soul. Taking advantage of the gap between the two fierce battles, she fired offensive spells at the main soul, and flanked him back and forth with Tom. .

All kinds of spells exploded in the hall. Tom's tight fights and Ginny's plots from time to time made the main soul a little bit overwhelmed. The frequent "armor protection" made him almost unable to get out to fight back, completely in danger of being beaten. the point.However, the situation of Tom and Ginny is not very comfortable, because the link on the soul, the anger and despair of the main soul are constantly conveyed to their minds, and because they are in a state of fighting, they cannot use it as usual. Occlumency blocks such intrusions.Although Ginny had the pendant given by Lorian to protect most of her spirits, such a direct impact of soul fluctuations was different from a direct mental attack, and could not stop the spread of emotions.

Knowing that if this continues, even if the main soul is successfully resolved, it will have a negative impact on them, and the longer the time drags on, the more serious the problems left to them will be. Tom once again stimulated the magic power in his body, and at the same time gave Ginny a look. To signal, to imply that she is also trying her best to make a quick decision.After Ginny understood what he meant, she tacitly joined him and approached the main soul again, mercilessly using the most powerful black magic in her hands.

Sensing the sudden intensification of the two's attacks, and also feeling the connection and fluctuations in the soul, the main soul suddenly smiled ferociously, with a malicious gleam in its blood-red eyes, and suddenly stepped back and approached Ginny.Tom realized the danger, and immediately wanted to go forward to stop his actions, but the main soul turned around to face Ginny a step earlier and issued a series of attack magic. When she resisted, he relied on his soul link with her, Dive into the depths of her soul.

For a moment, Ginny felt that they were tightly entangled, they were so tightly connected that she couldn't tell where their respective bodies were, as if they were connected as one by pain, she couldn't struggle at all, and she couldn't escape, Forced to lose control of his own body.In the end, she closed her eyes in pain and trembled violently, and when she opened them again, her eyes had turned blood-colored, and at the same time, the voice that came out of her mouth was the high-pitched and cold voice of the main soul: "You Don't you want to kill me? Then you kill, kill this little girl, I will die with him, you do it. "

Tom suddenly clenched the wand that was pointing at the main soul, so hard that his knuckles turned white. For the second time, the main soul once again threatened his choice with Ginny.Three years ago, he chose to sacrifice Ginny, but he finally recognized his feelings through regret, and spent three years looking for her back.Unexpectedly, such a choice was placed in front of him again, and this time, could he still choose to give up Ginny to fulfill his career?

Seeing his struggling expression, the main soul laughed shrilly: "You can't do it. If I die, this little girl will die with me. Can you really do it?" He laughed wildly, As if laughing at Tom's hesitation, he was sure that he would never kill Ginny.

However, his smug laughter stopped abruptly when he saw Tom slowly raised his head to show the expression on his face, that expression was familiar to him, the cruel expression he would see on his own face.Tom slowly raised his wand, clenched the wand with his slender fingers, and pointed at him steadily: "Master, do you really think that I will give up killing you for a woman? There is no one more powerful than us in the world. Similar people, we were originally one, if it were you, would you do this?" Under the unbelievable eyes of the main soul, he spit out the spell they are most familiar with: "Ah— -watt--"
