Chapter 49: Modify Memory
Sellers took advantage of Draco's weakness and took complete control of his body.
But he didn't immediately attack with the basilisk. He had more important things to do than to attack.
Through his conversation with Draco, he already knew that Dobby, the house-elf, had stolen the journal and delivered it to Draco. Now, Ginny still had memories of the diary in her head, and if Dumbledore had found out, she would probably have nothing to hide.
"We have to know if Ginny has revealed the diary and then edited all their memories!"
Sellers had no intention of returning to Ginny for the time being. Things have developed to the current situation, in fact, there is no need to follow the plot of the original book. As long as there is no big difference, it is enough to take Ginny to the Chamber of Secrets and fake the illusion that she is going to be face to face with Harry Potter.
Now, he had to find an opportunity to act quickly.
However, this is the way to say -
It's another thing to be disarmed by Harry, Hermione, and Ginny as soon as they come up.
A few minutes ago, Cyrus had just wanted to go to Ginny, but as soon as he walked out of the door of the common room, he turned a corner and encountered the four people who had been lying in ambush for a long time.
The four voices shouted "Remove your weapon", and Ron's wand returned fire and blew himself away. The other three spells flew towards Cyrus, knocking the hawthorn staff in his hand into the air.
In fact, Cyrus is not really without the power to resist, even if the wand is knocked away, he can still cast magic, but now he has other ideas.
"Malfoy! Get Ginny's journal back! Hermione said rudely, giving him a punch without handing over the journal.
"Hurry up! Or I'm going to give you a taste of slugs! Ginny was more irritable than Hermione, "Don't quibble, Harry saw you take out that journal in class!" β
Ron, whose buttocks were broken into eight petals, also quickly got up, and stood to the side with a fake tiger.
On Valentine's Day, Harry saw Malfoy writing something in a black notebook, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but after seeing Ginny, he remembered about the diary. He watched for several more days, and finally determined that Malfoy was holding the journal that Ginny had lost. Hence this scene.
However, looking at the three wands that were against his chin at the moment, Cyrus did not panic at all.
"Wait, waitβI'm not Malfoy!" Cyrus looked at Ginny sincerely, then lowered his voice, "It's me, Riddle!" β
"Mr. Riddle?" Ginny immediately lowered her wand, revealing a surprised and happy voice, "Why- are you possessing Malfoy?" β
"Ohβso, you're that, Tom Riddle?" Hermione and her two silly sons had strange expressions on their faces, and it was really Cyrus who was on top of Malfoy's face, and whatever he said didn't seem to be believable.
"That's right." Cyrus nodded, "Remember when we went to Snape together to steal the materials for the Polypotion?" At that time, I was possessed by Ginny. β
"Really?" Ron was surprised, "But how did you end up in Malfoy's hands?" β
"We all thought the heir stole you." Harry wondered, "Malfoy is not the heir, and he doesn't know who the heir is, so why did he steal you?" β
"Because he wants to help that heir." Sellers explained.
"He didn't know who the heir was, but he found out that I was looking for an heir, and that I wasn't Ginny, but a memory in the diary, so he managed to steal it. He didn't expect me to forcibly control his body, though. β
Hearing this, Hermione immediately frowned, as if she thought that Cyrus's method was too evil, but Harry and Ron were happy.
"I have to say, although it's still the same face, you look much more pleasing to the eye than Malfoy." Ron walked up with a big grin, hooked his shoulders with him, and lowered his voice, "I heard you helped Ginny with her homework?" β
"There were a few times when I didn't think she needed to write those assignments at her level, what's wrong?"
"I mean β I have a lot of homework too!"
"Ron!" Hermione angrily ripped Ron away from Cyrus.
Harry and Ginny were still around him, and Ginny suddenly looked sad.
"But if you're in control of Malfoy, why don't you come to me?"
Sellers was tempted to say that he had intended to go to her and alter their memories. But when the words came to his lips, he changed into a different look:
"It's too dangerous! I think the heir has discovered my presence. It's just that he hasn't noticed where I'm hiding. If I come back to you, I may put you in danger too. And I used Malfoy's body, so don't worry, no one will think he's an enemy of the Heir. β
"I'm not afraid of danger!" Ginny said firmly.
"We're not afraid." Harry immediately said that he hoped that "Mr. Riddle" could provide him with some useful information.
"Actually, I'm a little scared of ......," Ron was tempted to say, but looking at his sister and good brother, he swallowed it back.
"I know you're all brave, butβ"
"But a person can't find the murderer, right?" Hermione interrupted, "We can help, you've done it with us, you know!" β
Cyrus looked at her for a long time before pretending to be helpless and nodded.
"Okay, I'll agree with you joining, but before I can do that, I'll have to figure it out - Ginny, you didn't tell anyone else about the diary, did you?"
"No, I only told Hermione."
"Very well, now I have to change your memory, erase this part of the journal and replace it with something else." "I know you'll never get out of my secrets, but the Inheritors may use the Dementor to find answers from your memories," Cyrus said. If he had found out who I really was, it would have been too easy for him to kill me. β
Cyrus retrieved the wand from Harry.
"You promise to just revise the memory about the diary, not to make us forget everything!" Ginny looked at him stubbornly, fearing that this was just a lie told by Cyrus to make them forget everything and stay out of danger.
"I promise, only modifications!"
