Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Great Curtain of the Times

Augustus appeared at the door of the teacher's lounge with everyone, his black robes stained with blood, and for a moment, there was silence. Suddenly, a scream - "Ginny!"

It was Mrs. Weasley, who had been sitting in front of the fire crying. She jumped to her feet, followed by Mr. Weasley, and both of them simultaneously threw their arms around their precious daughter. Augustus smiled and avoided it gently, so that Ginny, who had survived death, and her parents could cherish this moment. Walk past the Weasleys and look into the house. Professor Dumbledore was smiling and standing in front of the mantelpiece, next to him Professor McGonagall, holding her hand to her chest and gasping for air.

Fawkes let out a reluctant chirp at Augustus, slightly slapping his head against Augustus' cheek, and flying past Augustus's ear and landing on Dumbledore's shoulder.

"You saved her! You saved her! How do you do that? "That's what we all want to know." Professor McGonagall said weakly. Mrs. Weasley let go of Ginny. And they all looked at Augustus not far away.

Augustus looked calm, starting from the hissing he heard in the room after attending the ghost ball with Harry at the beginning, talking about the clues he heard in Hagrid's hut to follow the spider, and then following the spider into the Forbidden Forest, meeting the leader of the spider, that is, Alagog, Hagrid's pet when he was a student, learning from Aragog that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk, and then discovering that the basilisk was using a pipe to commit the crime through everyone's speculation, and then contacting the victim Myrtle fifty years ago, so as to discover the entrance to the secret room. After that, it was much simpler, several people entered the secret room together, encountered the young Voldemort who relied on the diary, and then Augustus himself took action, with the help of Phoenix Fawkes, personally solved the basilisk and Riddle, and all the stories and experiences are like this. Augustus' narration is extremely prosaic, and the spider leader Aragog and the basilisk and even Riddle encountered in the process are all brushed aside, as if these beings were all batter, and it didn't take much trouble to solve them.

Although everyone listened to it simply, as long as a person with a little brain knew that the road was extremely dangerous, and everyone who knew Harry and Ron knew the truth obviously knew that these dangers were fatal to both of them, so such an experience obviously mostly relied on the action of Augustus, who seemed to have no risk narrative, to finally save the day. This kind of strength is no longer comparable to any ordinary adult, even the Aurors don't know how much to struggle in such a dangerous situation. Dumbledore's half-moon glasses shimmered inexplicably, and he cast a kind smile at Augustus as he finished speaking. Professor McGonagall seemed to have not yet recovered from the story told by Augustus, her hands clenched tightly in her clothes, and her face was complicated.

The Weasleys stepped forward and thanked Augustus with a little restraint, not only for Ginny, but also for Ron, who had been involved. In their opinion, if it weren't for Augustus leading several people to investigate from beginning to end until they entered the secret room, with the strength of Harry and Ron, they don't know how many times they would have died. For the Weasleys, Augustus is so powerful at such a young age, coupled with the huge influence of his family, I am afraid that his achievements in the wizarding world in the future will not be inferior to Dumbledore, and it is better to show favor early than to wait for his wings to be full-fledged and then knotted, as for Ron to form a good relationship with Augustus, it is very good.

"What interests me most," said Dumbledore mildly, "is how Voldemort used to confuse Ginny, for according to my sources, he is currently hiding in the Albanian forest." ”

"W-what?" Mrs. Weasley said in a stunned voice, "Mysterious? Confused Ginny? But Ginny isn't Ginny, isn't she?"

"Voldemort's memories of his youth have always existed in this diary, he must have used a special method to give life to this memory, Ginny must have been confused by this diary, after all, with Voldemort's demagogic methods, it is difficult to resist with Ginny's experience and experience." Augustus smiled and briefly explained the crucial nature of the diary.

"Nothing would have happened without this diary, and the mysterious man relied on this memory to confuse people, activate the secret room, and control the basilisk. Everything revolves around this journal, and it can be said that it is the source of it all, but after Mr. Augustus killed Riddle, this journal is now devoid of any spirituality. Loki glanced at the diary on the table and said lightly.

Dumbledore took the journal from Harry's hand, his eyes shooting down his long hooked nose, staring intently at the blank and clean pages.

"That's amazing," he said softly, "and few people know that Voldemort used to be called Tom Riddle. Fifty years ago, at Hogwarts, I taught him personally. After leaving school, he disappeared and traveled far and wide, traveling far and wide, sinking deeper and deeper into the mire of dark magic, mingling with the most evil creatures in the wizarding world, undergoing many dangerous magical transformations, and finally reappearing as Voldemort, making him difficult for people to recognize. Hardly anyone associated Voldemort with the smart, handsome boys' student council president who had studied here. ”

"It's a pity that such a good person has entered the evil path and deviated further and further from the right path of the magic avenue, with Voldemort's talent, if he hadn't fallen into the wrong way, his achievements would definitely not be limited to one place." Augustus muttered in his mouth, but shook his head regretfully, geniuses are often conceited, once they have chosen the path, it is difficult to change again, they will not regret any of their choices, all the way, gradually drifting away.

"But what about Ginny?" Mrs. Weasley said, "What does our Ginny have to do with him?"

"His day—diary!" Ginny sobbed and said, "I've been — writing on it for a whole year, and he— he's kept writing me back-"

"Ginny!" Mr. Weasley was stunned and said, "Didn't I teach you?" What have I been telling you? Never trust anything that can think for itself unless you see where it is hiding your mind. Why didn't you show me or your mother the diary? A suspicious thing like that, apparently full of black magic and sorcery!"

"If you can get out so easily, it won't be Voldemort's diary, in the dark period when he ruled the wizarding world, even many adult wizards can't escape his encouragement, not to mention Ginny's age and knowledge, so don't blame her anymore, Ginny is just the youngest of many victims." Augustus simply relieved Ginny. Dumbledore nodded, "Miss Weasley should go to the hospital immediately," Dumbledore interjected without saying a word, "It's a painful ordeal for her." The school will not punish her in any way. ”

At the end of the matter, Augustus took Loki to say goodbye to everyone, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and the Weasleys nodded to Augustus with complicated expressions, and watched the two leave the room.
