The owl that sent a message to the Weasleys was released in the afternoon, and unlike the petrified students, they were able to rescue them with potions. And Ginny was taken away by the legendary monster, and Merlin knew if it would be kind.

As night fell, it was deserted at Hogwarts, and everyone locked their doors tightly. You know: Ginny is a pure-blood wizard, and she's been captured too. Does this mean that the monsters in the secret room are not spared even pure-blood wizards?

The timid students stuffed themselves under the covers, hoping that the night would pass quickly and the day would come soon, so they could get on the express train home.

As for Percy and the twin brothers, every moment is torment—they didn't take good care of their sister Ginny, and let her be taken away. It's the double pain of worry and self-blame, leaving them lying in bed and staring hollowly at the ceiling.

It wasn't an option for Harry and Ron to sit quietly and wait, as they restlessly put their wands against Lockhart's back and let him walk in front of the vault's tunnels.

In the evening, when Harry and the others were about to tell him about the possible entrance to the chamber, Lockhart tried to escape! During the argument, Harry and the others learned the shameless origin of his books - he had deceived others into their real successes and eventually altered their memories.

In order to punish him, the two dragged him to the strong, thinking that it was always safe to have an adult wizard in the area.

"Click--" A series of footsteps sounded behind several people, the sound of leather boots stepping on the carcasses of small animals strewn all over the underground tunnels.

"Who? - "Harry's trembling wand was using a fluorescent charm, and a human figure appeared in the shadows, with a little ghostly light, unhurried, unhurried.

"Why are you here?" Aitch frowned, "All out." Edge's tone was not as warm as outside, and the eerie atmosphere of the underground tunnel made the three of them feel a cold sweat on their spine.

"No way, Ginny is still here." Ron took Lockhart's wand back and turned it to Edge, "Oh, I see, there's another person, that's why you have an alibi, right?" Want to kick us out? This can't be done! ”

"Ron Weasley, I remember what I said before, if you talk nonsense, I'll teach you a lesson." Edge's face curved in an arc, illuminated by the glow of her wand, and she looked sinister.

Harry stood in front of Ron, "Don't do that, Edge, I guess you're here to deal with that monster too." Let's work together, okay? ”

Aitch glanced at Harry, "Except for your weapons!" A red light passed between Harry and Ron, knocking Lockhart right behind them. He was about to pounce on Ron and snatch his wand. Edge's disarming spell hurt enough even if it hit someone, causing Lockhart to faint instantly.

"It's all petrified!" Aitch dealt a blow to Lockhart, who had passed out, to ensure that there would be no such instability before dawn.

"What did you say?" Aitch never seemed to have seen Harry like this, "Don't blame me for being too honest, don't think that if someone calls you a savior, you can really carry the world on your shoulders." Even if you know the entrance to the secret room, you can't even think of calling the professors, what's the use of you! ”

"As for you—" Aitch pointed his wand at Ron. Seeing Edge's shot just now, Ron realized how powerful he was, clenched the wand that didn't work in his hand, and also pointed at Edge, swallowing saliva straight down his throat.

"I'll give Harry one last time, and I'm not going to trouble you now. But remember, I remember everything you did to me, and I'll make you beg me for forgiveness. Aitch didn't waste his time with them, "Get out of here now." I don't want to say it a third time. Edge's voice grew colder.

Harry was frightened back a few steps and pulled Ron out of the way, "But, how do we go?" "There's no way for them to go up the passage, and there's no phoenix in the original book to take them up now.

"Take the pipes and sewers......" Aitch paused, the maze of roads they remembered? Well, stay where you are, and I'll talk about it when I get back. It's going to be okay here. You don't need me to give you a petrification spell too. ”

Aitch seemed to be in a hurry, left the two of them, and continued walking.

"You listen to him? Just stay here? Ron recovered from being stunned by Edge, "That's my sister!" How good she is to you, you don't know? ”

Harry looked at the roaring Ron and felt like he was last year, when Harry was just as angry, bewildered by Voldemort's plot and dazed by Voldemort's murder of his parents. At that time, although Ron and Hermione tried to persuade him, they finally helped him and went with him to fight Voldemort. He thought of Ginny and the Weasleys' kindness to him, and of Hermione lying in a hospital bed......

These scenes came to mind, since Ron had been able to give like that for his friend, why couldn't Harry do it, and the "bravery" from Gryffindor made his blood boil, "Go!" ”

The road ahead was clear to the final chamber, and Harry and Ron had to crane their necks to see the huge face on top of the huge statue: it was quite old, like a monkey, with its long, sparse beard hanging down to the ground.

Aitch was standing in front of the statue, confronting a tall, dark-haired boy. He looked unusually vague, a wonderful, hazy light enveloping him, no more than sixteen years old, holding the diary Horcrux in his hand.

Between the two lay a small, red-haired, black-clad man with a face down.

"Ginny!" Harry and Ron shouted in a low voice, rushing towards her, kneeling beside her. "Ginny! Don't die! Please don't die! They tossed their wands aside, took Ginny by the shoulder, and turned her around. Her face was as pale and cold as marble, but her eyes were closed, she hadn't become a stone man, but she was certainly ......

"Ginny, please wake up." Harry cried out in despair, shaking her constantly, but Ginny's head was just dangling hopelessly.

"She's not going to wake up." Edge's voice came.

"What do you mean by that, she won't wake up?" Harry asked desperately. "She's not—she's not dead—"

"She's still alive," Aitch said, but her eyes were still on the boy in front of him, "but that's all. ”

"That's right." Harry recognized that the boy was exactly the same as Tom Riddle in his diary, and his voice was just as gentle.

"You're a ghost?" Harry asked, uncertain.

"It's memory," Riddle said calmly, "fifty years in the diary." ”

"I don't care about ghosts or memories, I'm going to take my sister away now." Ron helped Ginny to her feet and carried her on her back.

"If you want to die...... Just put her aside. And then they all hid. Aitch stopped Harry from helping to take Ginny away.

"Looks like you know a lot!" Riddle sighed, "Worthy of being the heir to Ravenclaw, much more knowledgeable than these two fools." If they take this little girl away, I won't be able to replenish my vitality. ”
