Chapter 262 Confrontation

Wo Bu Geng Xin
There was only dim candlelight in the women's toilet.
Hogwarts is really too big. The women's room is not small, but because there are not many people here, when there are candles here, only a few are replenished.After all, the funding for Hogwarts is not brought by the wind, and the castle itself has no way to produce candles and other necessary supplies.
As for using that enchanted lamp...
A candle that has been used for hundreds of years in one place may not be worth that much.There is no need at all.
This has also led to, from the outside, Hogwarts is brightly lit all day long, but in fact, there are many dark corners inside Hogwarts, and even because of the overall economic downturn, after all, the original The great aristocrats who were the economic pillar of the British wizarding world were broken one by one by the two Dark Lords.
Although the emerging minor nobles are trying to take over the important task of supporting the economy, and have successfully assumed such responsibilities to a certain extent, this is only a "certain degree" and "preliminary". There is still a long way to go before returning to its heyday.
Of course, except for a very small number of wizards, the vast majority of wizards don't care about things in the economic field.They just lamented that life was hard and money was a little tight, and then they blamed Voldemort for everything.It is believed that Voldemort caused all this.
Although it makes sense, it is clear that you know what is happening, but you don't know why.
After all, it is not taught in school, and I will not deliberately understand it.And finance and economics are extremely hot in the Muggle world.The hotter something is in the Muggle world, the more wizards and wizards will avoid contact with it intentionally or unintentionally.
It seems that this can reflect that they are higher than Muggles.
However, there are still a few wizards who will take the initiative to understand these things, and then they will slowly fill these blanks with their own colors.Until the next person who breaks the "convention" appears.
Among many expectations, Harry Potter, this extraordinary boy is the next one.He might be able to bring about a new order.At the very least, it can make all the remnants of the old order perish.
"They are all expecting that you can change the things he left behind. Even if you can't change them from unfavorable to beneficial, at least you must eliminate them."
[In view of the general environment,
Voldemort's voice echoed in the empty toilet.
When Harry stepped into the women's toilet, he felt as if he had entered a strange place, as if there were two worlds here and outside the door.
And at this time, Voldemort said such an inexplicable sentence, which made Harry even more vigilant.
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?"
Harry asked as if facing an enemy.He didn't understand why Voldemort would suddenly have such emotion, but judging from the sarcastic smile on Ginny's face, such words were obviously not a compliment.
Voldemort looked at Harry with an expression of disappointment.He really couldn't figure out why he would lose to such a brat when he had become "Voldemort" himself.
"Is that thing really that harmful to people back then?"
He himself was also guilty of Digu, and the things he obtained from the secret room back then obviously had serious drawbacks.I didn't care much before, or I always thought I could find a solution.But judging from the later ending, it is obvious that no solution has been found, and it can even be said that the disease is terminally ill and the brain is useless.
"Am I really that stupid?"
Little Tom hesitated for a while. Although he got a lot of news that was true, false or exaggerated during this period, it was true that he belonged to the future on the age scale and lost to the kid in front of him.
But he is not his future self.He didn't think the kid in front of him could defeat him.
Seeing that Voldemort didn't speak any more, he didn't make any other movements.So Harry took a deep breath, the season in his heart moved.
Affecting thinking, after a simple walk in the brain, the thinking was passed to his hand.
So, his hand started to move by itself, and when he was holding the wand and was about to shoot Voldemort with the "Expelling Weapon" that he had learned from Luke, Voldemort suddenly spoke again.
"You'd better not do it with me. Besides, I don't need this wand. I can kill this little girl just as well."
As he spoke, he flicked Ginny's wand casually, looking careless.
Harry was bluffed again, not because of anything else, but because he really didn't dare to bet Ginny's life.That's his best friend's sister.In the second half of the summer vacation, I also took great care of myself.
"What the hell are you trying to do?!"
Harry felt that his patience was being worn out: "Also, what did you do to Ginny?!"
Harry's voice was very loud, maybe he didn't mean to call for help.But Voldemort didn't care, just smiled, and pressed his index finger to his lips.
"Hush! Don't make too much noise, otherwise, you can just collect the little guy's body."
Hearing this, Harry quickly shut his mouth, and swallowed back the question that had reached his throat.More importantly, when he saw the contemptuous smile on Ginny's face and the slightly evil look in his eyes, he felt shamefully moved, just like when he saw Cho Chang back then, but now Voldemort, ah No, Ginny's beauty is completely different from Qiu Zhang's style.
However, his expression became more and more determined, as if he had made up his mind.But Voldemort didn't care about that either.
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go in and talk."
After speaking, he spit out a few strange syllables softly from the air.The voice is deep and hoarse, with obvious graininess, which makes people sound uncomfortable.
It wasn't such a big deal, the real big deal, Harry understood.
"Open the door? (Snake's old accent)"
Harry unconsciously read along.
Voldemort turned his head immediately, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.It's just a flash.
"It seems that you are also a noble pureblood, and you may even have the blood of Slytherin flowing in your body! Not bad!"
He looked happy, but Harry didn't know what he was happy about.I just read a word after him, why?Isn't this kind of ability rare?
He only thought that Voldemort was bluffing. If he hadn't been worried about Ginny's safety, he would have done it directly.
He's not really a fool.No matter what Voldemort wanted to do, he didn't kill himself directly, which meant that he either had some special effect on him, or he couldn't deal with himself now.
But in either case, he will undoubtedly resist.It's just a matter of time.He knew very well that the opened door might be a trap that had been prepared long ago, but he could only follow the other party's train of thought.After all, Ginny is still in the opponent's hands, and the resistance should be optimistic about the timing.
"But, but, but, Luke! You have to hurry!"
Harry prayed inwardly.Then, under Voldemort's guidance, he followed him into the room behind the door.Although he was also curious about what was behind the door.
As the two entered, the door slowly closed.
Harry would never have thought that Luke, whom he was thinking of, was always there, leaning against the corner and watching with cold eyes.
He watched Tom, who had Ginny's face on his face, walk into the room first, and he also watched Harry being easily bluffed by Voldemort, not daring to move.She even saw Myrtle hiding herself in the toilet in the distance, not daring to say a word.
Ginny's soul showed no signs of resistance. It seemed that the protection was successful. Ginny's soul fell into a deep sleep. Voldemort's soul corroded the shell and controlled the body. He didn't even feel any hindrance. Everything seemed to be logical.
But Luke knows very well that this kind of rooting is very vain, as long as he wants to, then loosen the protection
After removing the sexual shell, Voldemort's soul will suffer a severe blow. It is definitely not possible to dissipate, but it is definitely okay to stab a knife fiercely.
Of course, this protective shell is not so easy to remove.It is a delicate handicraft.After all, this protective soul shell can also be regarded as a cage.
However, now Luke didn't pay too much attention to the two people who had disappeared in the secret room. On the contrary, he put all his attention on Myrtle over there.
"You don't seem to be really ignorant of what happened back then."
Luke didn't remove his invisibility, but he still walked outside the toilet door and said softly.
There was a gurgling sound from the toilet, like the sound of a toilet being flushed.But Luke knew it wasn't, that it was Myrtle making the sound.
"Did you hear his voice? Or did you hear what he said? Or did you feel his soul breath?"
"Although I don't know if you knew this back then. If you didn't know it, you've remembered it over the years, or learned it...heh..."
Speaking of this, Luke laughed. He couldn't remember it when his memory was clear. After being a ghost for so many years and receiving more wear and tear, he remembered it. I have to give you a big fight.
Thinking about it this way, the latter is indeed more reasonable. When I became a ghost, I couldn't distinguish a person's soul breath, but now I am an old ghost, and I have learned such high-end applications of soul energy.
"No matter what it is, I hope it's the latter." Luke said in a slightly indifferent tone, "because if it's the former, then your timidity and retreat back then caused an innocent person to suffer half his life. .”
He hates being wished by others the most, and of course he doesn't like seeing others being wronged.Hagrid was completely tricked back then and became Voldemort's scapegoat. He felt very sorry.
But if the myrtle of this world isn't as innocent as it is in the books and movies, then...
Luke's eyes turned cold, but he froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
"What's my rivalry with you bastard?"
He shook his head and then slammed on the door.
"After I come out, I hope you can tell me the truth back then. I'm already a dead person, so don't care about so many things."
After finishing speaking, regardless of whether there was a response from the ghost inside, he walked to the front of the faucet on his own.
I have to say, this thing is a bit awesome.Obviously just a faucet for washing hands.But the design is pretty good.It is full of aesthetic feeling and does not give up practicality at the same time.
This design is also quite top-notch among the many toilets in Hogwarts.
"Open the door! (Snake Laoqiang)"
Then, the door rattled, which was different from the previous sound.
So Luke hastened to add: "Upstairs! Open the door! (Snakespeak)"
After speaking, he looked behind him vigilantly.
So the half-opened door on the ground suddenly got stuck, and after a moment of stunned, it slowly closed, and then the door perpendicular to the ground opened.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Luke seems to feel the resentment of this door.He could only twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, and then straightened his expression to hide his embarrassment.
Stepping into the door of the upper secret room, the dark green candle lights up, and the door behind him slowly closes.Before the door was completely closed, Luke turned his head and saluted slightly in the direction of the toilet door.It's not like a salute, it's more like a joke.
Luke's figure disappeared in the women's bathroom.
After the door closed, a low sob came from the room,
Then it turned into crying.
Snape, who was leaning against the door frame, looked bored.This female ghost is really timid, timid, noisy and annoying.Voldemort chose to kill her back then, maybe there was really some personal grudge in it.
but……
He looked at the closed door with some concern.He doesn't know how to speak in an old way, and he can't imitate it. Obviously, he can't get in.
Thinking of this, he turned to the sound transmission in another corner not far away: "Professor Dumbledore, can you go in and take care of the children? They will die inside. After all, the basilisk should be inside. "
Dumbledore, whose location was pointed out, looked a little embarrassed.However, he did not disperse, but whispered: "Trust Luke. It didn't work before, but after seeing how the door was opened, I have some ideas. As long as Luke asks for help, I can timely rescue."
Snape nodded, said nothing, just waited quietly.
Suddenly, Dumbledore's voice sounded in his ear: "Severus, did you just... feel Luke's position? Before he spoke."
Snape's face suddenly darkened, looking a little dignified and a little embarrassed.
After holding back for a long time: "No, I didn't feel it. What about you?"
Dumbledore's voice was also slightly embarrassed: "Me neither."
So the two fell into silence.
"Then you said...has he noticed where the two of us are?"
"Professor... What do you think... Otherwise, who is he making fun of when he salutes..."
So... more silent.
Hogwarts is really too big. The women's room is not small, but because there are not many people here, when there are candles here, only a few are replenished.After all, the funding for Hogwarts is not brought by the wind, and the castle itself has no way to produce candles and other necessary supplies.
