Looking at Tom Riddle in front of him, Ethan sighed helplessly.

"I just want to eat snake meat, and there are so many things. ”

Tom Riddle stood in front of the basilisk corpse in a daze - although Dumbledore and Snape had killed the basilisk, the news had not yet spread, and the corpse had not yet had time to be disposed of, and Tom Riddle, who was currently relying on control of Ginny Weasley to do evil, had no idea that the basilisk he was using to cause trouble had been killed.

"You did it?"

The Tom Riddle in front of you is a memory, but it's not exactly just a memory.

He exists in the diary, and is part of Voldemort's isolated soul: in other words, this Tom Riddle's diary is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and an important tool to resurrect Voldemort when necessary.

The journal was mixed in by Lucius Malfoy in the books that Ginny was carrying while taunting the Weasleys and Harry Potter in Diagon Alley, resulting in Ginny being controlled by Tom Riddle in the diary.

As the time of control increases, Ginny's life force is being drained by Tom Riddle little by little, and if it continues, Ginny will lose her life, and Tom Riddle will regain his life and come back to life......

Ethan was curious, and Voldemort cut himself into several pieces and stored them in different items. Every soul has the ability to be resurrected, so what will happen if all these separated souls are successfully resurrected? Voldemort vs. Voldemort? Or will there be a merge of the six gods and goddesses?

He was thinking nonsense here, completely ignoring Tom Riddle not far away, which made the proud Mr. Riddle very angry, if it weren't for the fact that he had no entity and no ability to release spells, he would definitely let Avatar gnaw on a big melon (Avada Suo) on Ethan.

"I'm asking you questions!"

There was no entity that couldn't cast a spell, and there was no other way to get Ethan's attention than by roaring, and while he succeeded, it wasn't something to be happy about.

"It's really pitiful, by the way, I'll help you get rid of it!"

"What?"

Tom Riddle's last memory was wondering what Ethan meant by that, and he didn't know anything after shouting it.

Although he has no physical body, just a fragment of soul and a memory, this 'illusory' thing is not impossible to attack, as long as you find the right way, it can also be destroyed.

Ethan's smashing spell is very powerful, and he is not simply learning the magic of this world, but integrating the characteristics of this world's magic into his own magic system. In particular, those attack spells with regular power are the focus of his research.

Just like this Crushing Charm, most wizards can only smash the dead that actually exist.

Ethan's smashing spell is different, he can even smash some illusory existences, because in his eyes, the so-called illusory is also 'real existence', since existence can be shattered, plus a strong enough high-quality magic (or divine power) as a backing, destroying a Voldemort's soul and a memory is a matter of lifting hands.

At the same time that Tom Riddle was eliminated, the diary held by Ginny Weasley, who was lying on the ground, suddenly flashed a fire, and seeing that the diary was about to burn, Ethan reached out and moved it away directly, not letting the burning diary hurt the unconscious Weasley sister.

"Tsk!"

The journal slowly burned to ashes as it flew, and Ethan took the opportunity to put away his spell and let the ashes drift away, before focusing on the basilisk's corpse.

He wanted to take the snake skin and take it apart before storing it in his storage, but before he could do anything, Ginny woke up, and looked at the corpse of the huge basilisk next to him with a horrified look - plus Ethan, who was standing next to the basilisk, looked like a big bad guy no matter how he looked.

Ginny didn't scream at the high decibel level or faint again, proving that the Weasley girl had a lot of courage.

In this case, if Ethan does another operation such as skinning, boneless, and dismantling eight pieces, even if it is a snake, it will stimulate this little girl fiercely.

"Forget it, put it away first and find a chance to clean it up slowly. ”

With a wave of her hand, she put away the huge basilisk corpse, and the magical sight made Ginny's eyes widen - even though she was a wizard, she had rarely seen such a powerful spell.

What's more, the person casting the spell is not much older than himself...... Or a student of the same size.

Looking at the Slytherin robes on the other side, Ginny thought back to the giant monster that seemed to be a snake, could it be a spell unique to Slytherin?

"Wait, where is this?"

"You're finally aware of the problem?"

Ginny Weasley is often controlled by Tom Riddle during this time, and then does something unconsciously.

However, the controlled Ginny was not unaware of the anomaly, so when Ethan briefly explained the situation, she immediately believed it, and followed Ethan to prepare to leave the dark and damp basement.

Ethan could see that Ginny didn't fully believe in herself, she didn't believe it, so she could only follow her vigilantly until she left the secret room and returned to the abandoned bathroom, back to the familiar Hogwarts castle, and Ginny breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, you should know how to get around at this point, and you don't need me to send you back to the Gryffindor dormitory, right?"

"Oh, no, I can go back by myself...... Thank you!"

As a member of the Weasley family, Ginny was similar to her brother Ron, and had a great prejudice against Slytherin House, believing that there were no good people in that house. A large part of her defensiveness against Ethan was due to her status as a Slytherin student.

Although she now realized that Ethan was not as annoying as the other Slytherin students, she didn't want to be with each other either, so she thanked him and hurried away.

"I'm disgusted!"

Skaha didn't know where to suddenly come out, this guy is not only strong in martial arts and deep in magic, but also has the ability to hide his own whereabouts is also top-notch, and even Ethan will find it difficult to find out if he doesn't look for it.

"...... are you hiding here?"

"It's not that you want to eat snake meat, you and Dumbledore went down with them before, and you definitely didn't have a chance to bring the basilisk out, right? ”

"I didn't hear you like snake meat. ”

Ethan beckoned to her, signaling that he didn't need to stay here, he had already obtained the basilisk's body.

"I just think that such a special basilisk should have a lot of good things on it, at least that snake skin should be a rare material. ”

“......”

Ethan pursed his lips speechlessly, feeling that Skaha's eyes were not on snake meat, but on materials such as snake skin—he suddenly remembered that Skaha's own skills in making equipment were quite good, such as the Gayeberg used by Cúchulainn, which was made by Skaha.

"What do you want to do with snakeskin?"

"Leather coat and whip...... Do you think it's better with a skirt or pants?"

“......”

Ethan looked at Skaha speechlessly, this guy looked like a little girl, with an innocent, cute and cute smile, how could he ask this kind of question? Not to mention that Ethan is not good at this......

"Both are good!"

As for the specific style, this can be studied slowly, and there is no rush now. Skaha can't wear it now, and she's certainly not going to make this outfit in her current size.

After destroying the basilisk and killing the split from Tom Riddle's diary, Hogwarts gradually returned to its normal rhythm of life.

Harry and Ron were happy with the situation, but they always felt that something was missing.

Hermione didn't have a problem with that, she had more time to study if nothing happened, and recently she had been pestering Rin Tosaka to teach her something 'new'.

Ethan was also quietly learning his knowledge, and compared to the first year, when he had to show a little bit of fault, this year his days were going to be quieter, because no one was going to provoke him anymore - especially after Snape showed that he was taking him more seriously.

"Have you forgotten that I'm the Head of Slytherin?"

For Snape, after the basilisk and the conversation, his life was not as comfortable as before.

Ethan would often run to Snape's office and unceremoniously look through his personal collection—the books contained knowledge that was not comparable to the ordinary knowledge that younger students could have access to, and even Ethan would have taken some time to understand.

After discovering this 'treasure trove', Snape's hard days came.

"I came here knowing that you were the Head of Slytherin. ”

Flipping through an advanced spell book in his hand, Ethan's fingers kept drawing in the air, although he didn't hold his wand, but Snape's eyelids still jumped as he watched the magic glow flicker on Ethan's fingertips.

"Shouldn't that be more respectful of me as the dean?"

"I show enough respect in front of outsiders. ”

The meaning of this sentence is, 'There is no one else here, you already know my situation, there is no need to pretend!', this act of undisguised thinking made Snape angry and speechless, but there was no way to attack.

He also understood now why Dumbledore was unwilling to have a complete showdown with Ethan or even turn his face, and from the fluctuations of magic revealed by Ethan's fingertips, as well as his precise control of the spell, he knew how terrifying Ethan's strength was.

And from Ethan's words and deeds, he also agreed with Dumbledore's previous speculation: this thing is definitely not a teenager.
