Chapter 250: Soul Parasitism
Ginny's soul is very problematic.
Sitting at the long Ravenclaw table, William couldn't stop thinking in his heart.
This was what William had noticed during that serendipitous temptation before entering the Great Hall.
When he cast the silencer spell on Ron, he silently waved his wand at Ginny, unleashing a soul-detecting spell.
Anyway, with the knowledge of these two men, they couldn't detect anything wrong, and William even seriously doubted that Ron couldn't even understand the gesture of the silencer spell he had unleashed.
This soul-detecting spell was given to him by Wilhelm's father, Duke Friedrich, who discovered it in an ancient book.
According to this spell, the caster can perceive the state of the becursed's soul to a certain extent, which he had previously used to determine the petrified cat.
Under William's perception, Ginny had these two very different souls in her body, and they existed in her mind distinctly, but Ginny's soul was at an absolute disadvantage, and she was almost completely suppressed by Tom's soul.
It seems that she must have carried Riddle's journal with her, which allowed it to possess Ginny's soul.
He had already completely controlled the ignorant little girl.
For Ginny at this time, the diary is like a bosom brother who can talk to him about everything.
Whether it's the problems encountered in learning, or the trivial things in life, or those feelings buried in the depths, all the emotions of a certain adolescent girl in Harry: ignorant love.
She wrote it all down in her diary.
It can be seen that Ginny now trusts the diary very much, which allows the latter to easily replace her will, and control her body almost anytime and anywhere.
This requires the approval of the soul level, because although Tom has a high quality of soul, his strength is very weak, and he is still in a slow recovery period.
In the original book, it took almost a semester for the journal to regain enough strength.
So it can't control Ginny forcefully, unless she opens her heart openly.
However, this parasitism of the soul, or symbiosis, is quite dangerous for Ginny.
Compared to Voldemort's soul in her youth, her soul is too weak, and she is full of trust in Tom's soul.
This puts Ginny's soul at a very disadvantaged level.
In this case, their current state is more appropriate to be parasitized, after all, it can only be called symbiosis if both parties can benefit each other.
William had noticed that Ginny looked haggard, not physically exerted, but mental.
This is not due to bad weather or colds, but to the exhaustion of the soul.
Too close contact with Voldemort's soul will have such consequences, whether Tom intentionally or not, he will continue to draw power from Ginny's soul.
As a result, one becomes weaker and the other stronger, forming a vicious circle that eventually leads to the complete annihilation of Ginny's soul, in which case she naturally dies.
William deduced that in the first year, Quirrell, who was controlled by Voldemort's main soul, might have fallen into such a state.
Completely controlled by Voldemort, he continued to draw power and drank the blood of a unicorn as a substitute for the dead.
This is a very serious matter, and the fatigue that is present is only a small precursor before the final symptoms appear.
Just like cancer, until it fully erupts, all that manifests itself is a few minor symptoms.
But once it breaks out, it will show a very violent growth momentum.
Except for William, who sensed something wrong through this detection magic, the Weasleys didn't notice anything wrong at all, and they all thought that Ginny was suffering from a flu.
They weren't to blame for that, after all, even Dumbledore or Madam Pomfrey hadn't discovered the root of the problem at once.
The exploration of souls was a very remote area, not to mention that Dumbledore had put all books related to souls in the forbidden section after Tom.
The little wizards had no chance of touching this realm at all.
As the only William in the room who understood the situation, he certainly wouldn't tell Dumbledore what he had discovered.
As the only person who knew the situation, it would be a shame not to do him some good, so he didn't immediately report what he sensed to Dumbledore.
In that case, William would not benefit at all under the intervention of Old Deng, and he was very greedy for the soul of Voldemort in the notebook.
He had a very bold idea of how to get his hands on the diary.
Just as William sat at the long table and thought about his future plans, and casually brought food to his mouth, a cheerful and somewhat flirtatious voice sounded next to him, interrupting William's thoughts.
"William, do you have time for a while? Would you like to come to my office? ”
William looked up, and Lockhart was standing there with a big smile.
What an international joke!
That place and the girls' bathroom on the second floor can basically be seen as next to each other, isn't it unpleasant to go there now?
For the sake of his own life, William politely refused Lockhart's kind invitation without thinking about it.
"Professor Lockhart, it's getting late, and I've got something else to do in a moment. If there's anything you need to talk about here, let's talk about it here. ”
"Oh oh oh, well, geniuses are always very similar, and like you I'm a busy man, and now my book is ready to be published in Germany." With that, he winked at William.
It seems that his family does have a lot of energy in the German wizarding world, and this kind of thing can be done in just a few days.
Just yesterday he received a reply from his father, in which the Duke was very appreciative of William's analysis, and was very willing to help him, and under the impetus of his father, the problem of publishing that Lockhart could not solve for a long time was easily solved.
No matter what time it is, the forces in the DPRK will not suffer.
"Congratulations, but is this what you want to tell me?" After complimenting Lockhart just right, William continued to ask the peacock man in front of him.
"No, actually I'm trying to say something else. I have a new idea about the drama we starred in together. ”
