Chapter 17: To Live or to Die, that's the question
Time goes back to dinner time.
Although the Slytherin table is also lively, due to the personality of the little snakes, it is far less cheerful than Gryffindor.
The bored Malfoy was eating, and he wondered if he should use Halloween as an excuse to scare Harry Potter and the little lions who had punished him by Dean Snape.
However, when his gaze vaguely looked towards the Gryffindor table, he did not see the shadows of the peasant.
Of course, Malfoy didn't suspect anything at this time, after all, Gryffindor was different from Slytherin, who had to pay attention to the order of position when eating, and those who didn't know how to be polite had always drilled into the crevice wherever there was a seat. And he didn't dare to look directly at Gryffindor, otherwise other little snakes would find out, and he would think that he was going to betray the academy!
Once a person has an idea in his heart, it quickly turns into action.
Before the dinner was over, Malfoy had already made up his mind that he would show them how good he was tonight. Even if you are caught, it can be said to be a Halloween tradition, and it is unlikely that you will be punished.
Therefore, when the dinner was over, he simply did not follow the Slytherin team, but sneaked into the Ravenclaw team.
Then, the previous scene appeared.
Although he didn't know whose prank it was, Malfoy felt that the other party was a genius!
That's right, Malfoy now actually thinks it's a prank. The last time on the pitch, Slytherin suffered a big loss, and of course there will be people who want to get revenge and come back! Especially Mascu Flint, who was cursed with a pimple, his face was almost lost.
Of course, he had heard of the legend of the Chamber of Secrets, but would the Chamber of Secrets, left behind by Slytherin, one of the Big Four, open a half-blood, a pure-blood, and a Mudblood?
Therefore, Malfoy rightly thought it was a prank. Of course, that doesn't stop him from adding another fire to it!
To do this, he immediately read the words on the wall aloud, causing a commotion, preferably to make others think that the murderer was Harry Potter and his henchmen.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at, and the panic on the faces of the three Harry could not be concealed. He had already regretted that he hadn't listened to Ron and hurried out of this hellish place, but it was clearly too late now. Malfoy's voice first drew Filch, the poor and hateful old man who was now holding his cat like crazy.
Harry had no doubt that Filch would be willing to let him pay for his cat's life if it were possible!
"You guys! You killed my cat! You killed it! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to-"
"Argus!"
Dumbledore arrived on the scene, followed by many other teachers. In the blink of an eye, he walked past Harry, Ron, and Hermione and untied Lady Loris from the torch holder.
"Come with me, Argus." He said to Filch, "And you, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, Miss Granger. ”
Lockhart stepped forward in a hurry.
"My office is the closest to here, and the headmaster—it's upstairs—you can—"
"Thank you, Gildero." Dumbledore said.
The silent crowd parted to both sides and let them pass. Lockhart was very excited, and looked alive, and hurried after Dumbledore; Professor McGonagall and Snape followed.
There were only a few hundred Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students who didn't know what to do.
"It's amazing, why didn't we think of disposing of this cat?" Fred said.
"Probably because we have a secret weapon?"
"What secret weapon?" Lee Jordan came up.
"Big dung bomb, of course!" The twins replied in unison.
"That thing does interfere with Lady Loris's sense of smell." Li Shen nodded approvingly, and then said, "I really don't know what will happen to Harry and Ron, they shouldn't have stayed at the scene of the crime after doing this!" ”
"What do you think, Ginny? That Ron is your brother, right? In the crowd, Colin turned to Ginny and asked, "I don't think the killer could be Harry, he couldn't have done such a thing." It would be very sad if Harry Potter was expelled. I wrote to my brother, who also wanted to get to know Harry Potter. ”
He spoke quickly.
Now, Ginny is a little distracted by concerns about Ron, Harry, and Hermione.
"Do you think the Chamber of Secrets is real? I've never heard of it. It doesn't seem that the bloodstain is completely dry, and the cat should have died not long ago. You're a little late today, have you found any traces of the murderer? ”
"What?" Ginny's eyes widened.
What does it mean to be a little late?
She wanted to ask carefully, but Percy and the Ravenclaw prefects had already reacted from the noise and began to organize discipline. Ginny had no choice but to keep her doubts to herself.
"Alright, don't make any noise! Get in line! Percy yelled, "And you, you should go back to Slytherin or I'll give you points!" ”
After driving Malfoy away, hundreds of footsteps continued, but the discussion in the crowd was something that Percy couldn't stop shouting no matter how hard he tried.
"Alright, Percy, let them go." Penelo Criwatt couldn't help but say.
Back in the common room, Ginny was still thinking about what Colin had said. But there were too many people in the lounge, and everyone was discussing what had just happened, and rumors of the secret room immediately began to spread.
'Mr. Riddle seems to say that he knows the location of many secret rooms, could it be that Slytherin is one of them?' ’
She didn't suspect that Sellers had done all of this.
Ginny was just desperate to find out if Cyrus had seen the real killer or any clues when he was taking control of her body. If only he knew where the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets were!
So she returned to her bedroom alone, spread out her diary on the bed, and drew the curtains.
"Mr. Riddle, do you know about the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?"
"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets? Why would you suddenly ask this? Sellers asked rhetorically.
Ginny slowly wrote down what had happened after the dinner.
"I wonder if you've found any clues, Mr. Riddle, or if you know anything about the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets?"
"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets......"
Tell the truth, or hide it?
Sellers is now caught in this predicament. He didn't know if Tom in the original book had told Ginny about it, and it was obviously risky to say it.
But Riddle, at least as soon as he met Harry, couldn't wait to bring his memories to life.
To say, or not to say, that's the question.
