Chapter 255 The Ended Legend

After hearing Dumbledore's words and following his gaze, Tom Riddle looked behind him. A girl with long golden hair walked out of the Slytherin statue. It was Ada who had left the real secret room.

Ada's robe was stained with mud from the water pipes, and her delicate little face was dusted with dust at some point, like a little tabby cat. She shook the tattered diary in her hand, as if she was asking for credit with Dumbledore, and she seemed to be saying to Tom Riddle: Come on, let me show you a big treasure!

The expression on Tom Riddle's face was incomprehensible, neither angry nor worried, as if the diary had nothing to do with him.

Even though he is only sixteen years old, the Dark Lord is the Dark Lord, and his palace is so deep that no one can easily detect his heart.

Seeing Voldemort looking at her, Ada smiled and said: "If you are willing to kneel down and kiss the hem of my robe, maybe I will make your death easier."

Use the other person's way to repay the other person's body! My Gryffindor, Murong Ada, please enlighten me!

"Forget it, let's forget it. If you kiss the corner of my robe, the robe will be stained and can no longer be worn." Ada added, "Besides, I will have nightmares, and the gain outweighs the loss. It's better to give it away directly. You can go die."

Hagrid once thought that Ada was a good girl, but she had a big mouth. For an honest person to have such an idea, one can imagine how proficient Ada is at ridiculing and irritating people.

Severus Snape, the respected Death Eater, Dumbledore's confidant, double agent, Potions Master, and the one who pissed people off to death!

Originally, he saw Ada holding her diary and knew that she had entered another secret room. Tom could still control his emotions because the contents inside had been moved away by him.

But seeing Ada being so presumptuous, Tom Riddle's handsome face turned ferocious. A humble ant actually dares to do this. This is contempt for the Dark Lord!

However, the current Tom Riddle and the current Voldemort are just a memory in the diary, a fragment of the soul. He is still very weak and cannot even cast the killing curse.

What's more, there are Dumbledore and two professors here. Even if Tom can cast the killing curse, it may not wash away the humiliation caused by Ada.

If he weren't so weak, Tom Riddle would have gone on a killing spree long ago. No one can stop his re-emergence! No matter what happened, he could take Ginny Weasley and the diary and fly away instead of hiding in the secret room and having a trapped beast fight.

Dumbledore looked at Ada with a smile, feeling indescribably satisfied. From the moment she entered the secret room, Ada was surprisingly quiet and acted too honestly. This was not the Ada she knew.

And what seemed like a reckless move later confirmed Dumbledore's thoughts. Ada, like herself, was full of doubts about Tom Riddle who appeared in the secret room, believing that he did not really exist, but was just a projection with unclear reasons.

After the basilisk appeared, Ada didn't even fart. She grabbed Harry and Ginny and ran away. For a militant and staunch hawk like Ada, this is simply a great shame.

Unless Ada has other plans and has more important things to do.

It was precisely because of Ada's series of slightly abnormal behaviors that Dumbledore stayed in the Chamber of Secrets to subdue the Basilisk and contain Tom Riddle instead of looking for the more important diary.

Dumbledore believed that Ada would surprise Tom and give him a satisfactory answer.

"Well done, Ada," Dumbledore said. "It would be nice if we could go faster. We've wasted too much time."

If the leader touches his lips, the subordinates will break their legs. Dumbledore touched his lips and spoke so easily, but he didn't know that Ada's brain hurt from the smell of water pipes and the basilisk's lair.

"Rescuing Ginny is what I, as a sister, should do." Ada walked past Tom Riddle without even looking at him. "But, can I add my name to the Special Contribution Award?"

Human obsession is terrifying, just like Voldemort is to immortality and Ada is to the Special Contribution Award.

"Of course, you have made great contributions to the school, and of course you can win this award." Dumbledore said with a smile. It was just a special contribution award and nothing at all.

Ada handed the diary to Dumbledore, and then walked to the basilisk's body. The problem of the secret room will be solved soon, Ginny is safe, and Ada's mind begins to come alive again.

Seeing the basilisk's disgracefully mutilated body, Ada felt heartbroken. This is a basilisk. A basilisk has not been seen in the British Isles for four hundred years. If the eyes of this thing were taken off and put on a traveling exhibition, how many galleons would it make?

Even if you kill it, can't you leave it intact? How can you sell a good snake skin for money if it's broken into a bear shape, like a puzzle piece?

The professors at Hogwarts are all a bunch of losers! Tongtong should be pulled out of Avada for five minutes! A man who is full does not know that a man who is hungry is hungry! He, tui!

On the other side, neither Dumbledore nor Professor Flitwick knew what Ada was thinking. They were fighting to death here, but Ada thought they were too harsh and did not leave a whole corpse for the basilisk.

If the basilisk Izumi knew, and knew that Ada wanted to sell its body for gold galleons, he might be able to survive, and then die of anger again.

Dumbledore turned over the diary in his hand and said: "I have to say, it is really an ingenious method. Fifty years ago, because of my suspicion, you stopped your behavior and left your memory in the diary. , waiting for others to continue your unfinished business."

The situation was over, and Tom Riddle knew that he had failed, but he was not discouraged or lost his composure. He said: "One day, we will meet again, Dumbledore. When the time comes, I will make you unable to live or die! All of you will crawl at my feet and beg for my forgiveness!"

From the night when Voldemort fell from power, Dumbledore had anticipated that such a day would come and had been preparing for this day. Therefore, Tom Riddle's threats were of no use at all, they were just satisfying.

As long as this diary is destroyed now, the dark clouds hanging over Hogwarts will dissipate, and there will be no more secret rooms in the future.

After seeing enough corpses and regretting the missing gold galleons, Ada walked back to Dumbledore and handed the basilisk's fangs to the headmaster. This was what Ada had just broken off from the basilisk's mouth, and she originally wanted to keep it as a souvenir.

These thin and long fangs are like sharp sabers. Slytherin's basilisk destroyed the Slytherin heir's diary and personally ended this reincarnation. It was very, very beautiful.

Dumbledore took the fang and pierced it directly into the diary. He said: "That day will never come. No matter how many times you come back, it will be the same. You who don't understand people's hearts are destined to fail, Tom."

With a terrible, prolonged, eardrum-piercing scream, streams of ink spurted out from the diary and trickled down Dumbledore's hands to the floor.

Tom Riddle twisted and struggled, waving his arms constantly and screaming in agony. Then he disappeared, as if he had never existed.

With a clatter, Harry's wand fell to the ground, and it was all over.

The basilisk's venom burned a hole through the diary, still hissing and emitting black smoke. Voldemort's plan to resurrect was once again shattered, and the legend of the Chamber of Secrets would no longer exist, but there was no relaxed look on Dumbledore's face.

On the road to immortality, Voldemort went further than anyone else. These words are not just words, Voldemort really did it. Looking at the broken diary in his hand, Dumbledore didn't speak for a long time.
