"Let's go." Snape said coldly, and he stepped into the dark passage first,

"I'll bring Ginny back." Lawrence finished speaking to the Weasley brothers, and turned to burrow into the passage,

The pipe is pitch black and seemingly endless, and the smell is not so good, the whistling wind passes through the ears, fortunately the passage is not all straight down, occasionally there are some turns and slopes to slow down the descent, but Lawrence will still wave his wand to slow down his speed, and Snape in front of him also did this, when they both landed safely from the passage, the two of them lit their wands almost at the same time, and carefully looked around through the light source,

"What's that?" Snape said that both of them saw the large, bright green curly object not far away, and they slowly approached,

"Is this the guy's molt?" Lawrence frowned and looked at the heavy python skin, ordinary magic may not be able to penetrate this guy's defenses,

"Let's go." Snape withdrew his gaze and walked on,

They walked through the bends and came to a huge wall carved with two large snakes entwined with each other, their eyes sparkling with emeralds, making the statues look lifelike, Snape looked at Lawrence,

Lawrence hissed exactly the same low as Harry's tone against the wall, and the two snakes on the wall began to swim, and they separated, and the wall split in half, sliding from side to side,

Inside is a rather large stone room, surrounded by towering stone pillars, carved with large snakes, no matter what angle, Lawrence always feels that the snake eyes are looking at him, which makes people feel very depressed, the sound of the two stepping in the empty stone room seems very abrupt, as if to remind the owner here that there is an uninvited guest intruding,

As they reached the last pair of pillars, at the end of the chamber stood a tall statue against the wall, with a huge face like a monkey, its long sparse beard hanging down with the robes to the smooth floor of the chamber, and in front of it lay a thin figure in a black robe, with flaming red hair,

"Ginny." Lawrence stepped forward quickly, waved his wand, and a trace of light melted into her body,

"What?" Snape asked, his right hand reaching into his left sleeve and fumbling around,

"It didn't work," Lawrence replied, "she wouldn't last long, something was drawing her strength."

"Try this," Snape pulled out a small bottle containing a fluorescent glow of a sky-blue liquid, and tossed it to Lawrence, "let her drink it."

"If I were you, I wouldn't do this." A figure slipped out of the shadow of the pillar, it was a tall black-haired boy, his movements were silent, his body was like a ghost, it seemed a little transparent,

"Hello everyone, I thought it would be Harry Potter the Savior who came here," the boy smiled, "I didn't expect it to be you, Lawrence. Rovander, with a teacher?"

"What's wrong with Ginny?" Lawrence asked, feeling a familiar hint of malice,

"Let me think, I think, yes, Lawrence. Rowander, the genius of Gryffindor, the smart, handsome, and reliable brother of Ginny," the boy did not answer the question, but closed his eyes and remembered something, "The other is the eerie oil-headed bat, Severus, the head of Slytherin's house. Snape?"

"Strange combination, isn't it?" If it weren't for the very oppressive atmosphere, Lawrence would almost laugh, if Snape's expression could kill, Lawrence thought that this guy in front of him might have died tens of thousands of times,

"Who are you?" Snape asked viciously,

"I'm a memory, a fifty years ago, named Tom. Riddle's memory." Riddle said this, and Snape raised his wand sharply, aiming it at him,

"Looks like anyone here knows me?" Riddle stared at Snape as he said, a scarlet glint in his eyes, "I feel something familiar, too?"

"Are you...... The Dark Lord fifty years ago?" Snape stared at Riddle and asked,

"Oh, what a pleasing name?" Riddle laughed, "Deng Bulido actually let a death eater be his teacher?" (Note 1)

"Dead Eaters?" Lawrence gasped suddenly, and without thinking he raised his wand to Snape, but paused with some hesitation,

"Aha, I think I'll have to borrow little Ginny's wand first." Riddle looked at the situation with satisfaction, and he ignored Snape's wand and bent down to take it from Ginny's pocket,

"How did you do that?" Snape lowered his wand and asked, Lawrence's eyelids jumped, he tried to find some clues from Snape's expression,

"It's all thanks to Ginny. Miss Weasley," Riddle said with a happy smile, "she opened her heart to strangers she didn't know, and her magic, her life, was about to be mine."

"Harry's diary?" Lawrence guessed that he noticed that Riddle was using the word "soon" to mean that Ginny was still saved, as long as they were moving fast enough.

"Oh, yes, lo and behold, there it is." Riddle pointed to the statue's foot, a black diary that had been opened, "I showed compassion and kindness for her, I acted like a good friend of my job, listening to her stupid troubles, her second-hand robes, books, and the great Harry Potter who couldn't have liked her?"

"I'm pretty good at this, I got Ginny to open the chamber and unleash the basilisk and attack the victims," Riddle laughed heartily, "Of course, I have to thank you for your contributions."

"Do you mean the map?" Lawrence sneered, "How do you think the Weasley brothers can chase after you? Now that the Chamber of Secrets has been cracked, the Professors will kill the Basilisk as well, and even if I die here, Harry will be able to open the Chamber of Secrets again, and Professor Dunbury will destroy it."

"Oh, you seem to have misunderstood," Riddle narrowed his smile a little at the sight of Dunburydo, "not the map, but another thing, something I didn't think about fifty years ago."

"What?" Lawrence was startled and was about to ask a question, Riddle raised his wand at lightning speed, Lawrence subconsciously raised his wand, but he immediately knew that he was a step slower, and the surrounding environment gave him too much depression, making his reaction a step slower,

"Bump" Lawrence felt another spell hit him in the back, his wand flew out of his hand, and the man fell to the ground, and a black figure was already in front of him—it was Snape, who fell to the ground, unconscious,

A thin figure walked out from behind the pillar, with long, messy blond-gray hair, hollow silver-grey eyes, and a hint of anguish flashing from time to time (Note 2)

"If it's not in this place, it's really hard to sneak up on you?" Riddle looked at Lawrence's actions with some surprise and said, "Let me introduce you, Luna. Lovegood, a Ravenclaw student, a strange friend of little Ginny, now you know how different this time is from the last time?"

"The conversation of the day...... You've got a helper," Lawrence understood, "it was you on Halloween, so Ginny doesn't remember."

"That's right, little Ginny has forgotten a lot of things," Riddle smirked, and recounted in a mocking tone, ""My memory is fading, my memory is fading, my robes are covered in chicken feathers, but I don't know where they came from?" "Dear Riddle, I don't remember what I was doing on Halloween night, but a cat was attacked, and my robes were stained with paint." "Dear Riddle, Lawrence asked me some questions, and I don't remember, but he has such a good memory that he can't be mistaken." "Dear Riddle, someone has been attacked again, but I don't remember what I was doing, I'm going crazy, I think I'm the murderer who attacked someone, Riddle." 」

"You......" Lawrence looked angrily at Riddle, he looked at Luna. Lovegood, "And what is she?"

"It's a girl with a lot of spirit, oh, of course you can't see it now," Riddle smirked, "She's been controlled by me with a brutality charm, and I controlled her for the second attack, and I hope to use that incident to dispel your suspicions about Ginny, but I don't think it worked very well."

"And she is much more powerful than little Ginny, her heart is very strong, if it weren't for the lack of magic power, I wouldn't be able to control her now, even now, she is still resisting me, otherwise the spell just now would not be a disarming spell." Riddle looked at Luna closely. Lovegood said, "I managed to control her for a while, but on Christmas Day, I almost ruined everything."

"After she delivered the letter to the Ministry of Magic, she managed to break free from me," Riddle laughed, "but instead of going to the professors, she came to Ginny in the first place, and she saw that something was wrong with Ginny, and she wanted to save her friend?" What a stupid friendship? How could anyone think they could resist me, the Great Dark Lord?" (Note 3)

"But I think she succeeded." Lawrence retorted, Riddle's smile gone, "The journal was found in the toilet by Harry, so she managed to save Ginny."

"Yes, she succeeded," Riddle said crudely, "but I also succeeded in erasing her memory, though Ginny stopped trusting me because of this, and even discarded the diary."

"I've secured the place in the Chamber of Secrets, I've chased Dunburidor away," Riddle shouted frantically, "The diary has even reached Harry. How ecstatic is this in Potter's hands? But the memories I showed him didn't confuse Harry. Potter – because of you."

"Because I solved the mystery of the Chamber of Secrets on Christmas Day." Lawrence said, "Almost, if I had known that the victim fifty years ago was Myrtle......

"But it didn't take place, and just today, little Ginny accidentally found out that Harry had taken the diary, and she panicked, so she stole it back, and I took the opportunity to take possession of her again," Riddle said, "It doesn't matter if Potter doesn't come, you know? There are so many Muggle descendants that I want to kill you more than anything else."

"I'm curious," Lawrence said, "why didn't you attack me?"

"Because I'm not sure," Riddle said, "you're a Muggle, but you're as gifted as I am, remember?" I was almost discovered by you during my conversation with Halloween in the bookstore in Diagon Alley, and the day of the Duel Club made me even more sure that I wanted to put a hold off attacking you."

"You really can afford me, I can't deal with a thousand-year-old snake demon." Lawrence said,

"That's true, but you have the ability to put up a little resistance, and even the possibility of escape, and I wasn't strong enough to take the risk." Riddle replied, turning his head to Snape, "But I'm surprised, he protected you, isn't he a death eater, I misunderstood?"

Riddle waved his wand, and the sleeve of Snape's left hand was accurately torn apart, revealing a black skull on his left arm, and a large serpent came out of its mouth, which was the mark of the Dark Devil,

"A Death Eater who betrayed me?" Riddle's voice was filled with rage, and he raised his wand to the fainting Snape, "Lord Voldemort will not forgive betrayers."

"You don't have this chance," said a weak girl's voice, and Lawrence turned his head to find Luna, who had a hollow eye. Lovegood, her silver-gray eyes shining again, "Except for your weapons."

"Oh?" Riddle was taken aback, but he waved his wand vigorously, causing the red spell to bounce back on Luna, and Luna's wand was out of her hand.

"It's amazing," the scarlet glow in Riddle's eyes became more and more apparent, but he said calmly, "This is the second time, you broke my spell, I thought—"

Bursts of music echoed in the stone chamber in the distance, a spark erupted from the stone wall, Phoenix Fawkes knocked down Riddle at a rapid speed, Ginny's wand rolled into the shadow of the stone pillar, and he threw a ball into Lawrence's hand,

"A phoenix just out of her infancy?" Riddle stood up, he didn't have his wand, but he was still calm, "Sorting hat?" (Note 4)

"Fawkes?" Lawrence looked at the phoenix singing in the air, and looked at the classification hat in his hand in puzzlement,

"This is the help that Deng Bulido gave you? A bird? A broken hat?" Riddle laughed, "Now, how are you stopping me? The former Death Eater who was subdued by me? A little witch who can resist my spell twice? Muggle descendants without wands, magical geniuses?"

"I'll hold him back," Lawrence stood up, blocking Luna behind him, "you look for a chance to get your wand."

"Don't be naïve, you think you have a chance without my wand?" Riddle asked, his arms outstretched,

"You're all going to die today." Riddle's eyes turned crimson, and he smiled maniacally, "Who said there was only one basilisk?"

───────

Author's note: This chapter has been written for a long time, and there is a lot to write, and I hope nothing is missing, and then I have always wanted to say: Who said that the basilisk only has one XDD?

Tsk,I've read a lot of articles.,There's only one to write.,I had to write two.,I hope to see the same people who wrote three (hey) one day.。

Note 1: As mentioned in the book, only the Death Eaters usually refer to him as the Dark Lord.

Note 2: Well, about Luna's appearance, I think it's obvious that the earliest hint is in chapter 7 to suggest a friend, chapter 8 shows an accomplice, and chapter 11 indicates the owl house, I think many people probably guessed it?

Note 3: When it comes to helping friends, Luna acts like a Gryffindor rather than a Ravenclaw, and she is friends with Harry, so she is willing to follow him into the Department of Mysteries.

Note 4: At this time, about two months earlier than in the original book, the time to enter the secret room is a certain day after the Easter holiday (April), and the time point at this time is ** festival (February). (Note 5)

Note 5: I misunderstood, in fact, the time to enter the secret room in the original book was three days before the final exam (the end of June), so in fact, the time at this time was four months earlier than in the original book.

Thank you for the tipping from the outer building of Tsing Yi Building.
