Chapter 638: Smart
Since the last time he eavesdropped on the conversation between Albert and Harry outside the boys’ dormitory, Ginny had been worried and restless.
From the conversation between Albert and Harry, Ginny could not hardly hear that Albert had been secretly investigating the attack and had already figured out what the monster in the castle secret room was.
Basilisk?
Although Ginny doesn't know what a basilisk is, it is not difficult to tell from Albert's description that the basilisk is a very terrifying dark creature.
If you meet the eyes of the basilisk, you may be petrified. Several petrified students in the school were attacked by the basilisk.
As for opening the secret room, who was the murderer of the attack?
Albert didn't say.
Ginny knew that Albert was suspicious of herself.
But, is the person who opened the secret room really yourself?
Ginny didn't know either.
However, she was also doubting herself, especially when she found that she seemed to have lost part of her memory. Ginny couldn't even remember where she was when Hermione was attacked.
If you really opened the secret room by yourself, what should you do?
Ginny was always worried that Albert would go to the professor to report on herself.
Will Professor McGonagall believe Albert's words?
Ginny didn't know, and didn't want to know.
Albert is too famous in school, not to mention that he has most likely found the entrance to the secret room, and using facts to prove it is more persuasive than empty talk.
Why did things become like this?
I just went to Hogwarts to study.
Why is it like this!
What would Harry think of himself if he knew she was the murderer who opened the secret room?
What will parents say?
Will Principal Dumbledore drive himself out of the school?
In the end, she could only watch everyone graduating from school, but she could not become a wizard.
The worst thing is that she might be arrested by the Ministry of Magic and imprisoned in the terrible Azkaban prison like Hagrid.
Ginny still remembers the change in expression on her father's face when he talked about Azkaban prison.
All this is driving the poor girl crazy, and fear is slowly eating Ginny's heart.
Motivated by loneliness, anxiety and fear, Ginny took out Tom Riddle's diary stolen from Harry from the bottom of the bedside table, and couldn't wait to tell Tom about her inner anxiety and fear.
Unfortunately, Ginny Weasley did this, just in the arms of Tom Riddle.
While Ginny Weasley confided his truth in the diary, Tom Riddle, who was hiding in the diary, was slowly devouring Ginny's most secret fear and the deepest secrets to gradually grow himself.
Tom Riddle is getting stronger, but Ginny Weasley, the diary holder, knows nothing about it.
During the conversation with Ginny, Tom Riddle also got a lot of useful information. A Muggle wizard with a different talent aroused Tom Riddle's interest.
Albert Anderson.
The smartest student ever at Hogwarts?
Tom sneered at this, he remembered being called the smartest student ever at Hogwarts.
Albert Anderson.
Just a Muggle wizard.
Although Tom didn't want to admit it, the Muggle wizard had something.
He actually knew that the monster in the secret room was the basilisk, and even directly believed that Ginny Weasley was the real murderer who opened the secret room.
Not doubt, but affirmation.
Otherwise, he would not use magic to block the hearing of Ginny and the others when discussing key points with Harry Potter.
This is the best proof!
Tom Riddle could see through with just a glance.
Was Ginny Weasley showing too many flaws, or was it discovered by the Muggle wizard for other reasons?
"So that's so stupid!"
Tom Riddle thought for a moment, and soon realized why the Muggle wizard did this.
That Muggle wizard actually intended to use himself as a bait to lure himself into the bait?
Therefore, it was so obvious at that time.
Otherwise, knowing that someone is eavesdropping, they will definitely use magic to block the conversation between the two directly, and will not leave any opportunity for others to eavesdrop.
Humph, another smart guy!
Tom Riddle felt incredibly ridiculous when he got this answer.
How dare a Muggle wizard provoke the famous Voldemort?
It is estimated that only the reckless Gryffindor would dare to do such a stupid thing.
Sure enough, Gryffindor is Gryffindor.
It really disappointed him.
In that case, go to death!
In the face of Albert's provocation, Tom Riddle planned to find an opportunity to kill him so that he would not disclose Ginny's affairs.
As for Gildro Lockhart, who played with him.
Tom Riddle didn't plan to keep it, especially since Harry Potter learned a lot about the secret room from the Muggle wizard, he didn't plan to keep Lockhart.
Of course, Tom didn't intend to let Lockhart die easily, he would give that guy the cruelest punishment, let him understand how stupid it is to offend Voldemort.
As for the famous Harry Potter, with his nosy character and the information provided by the Muggle wizard, he will definitely be able to find the location of the secret room. Then he will have enough time to figure out what the savior is. How to defeat Voldemort.
However, the "no brain" Tom still ignored some things.
Will he be named the smartest student ever at Hogwarts, is he just a little clever Muggle wizard?
Tom Riddle didn't take Albert seriously, but ignored one point. Albert didn't need to defeat the basilisk. As long as he survived the attack of the basilisk, he would win the battle.
Knowing that the secret room monster is a basilisk, evading the attack is not as difficult as imagined, especially when there is a lot of preparation.
What's more, Tom Riddle didn't even know how long Albert had been preparing for that moment.
Yes, this is a trap. The trap that Albert prepared for the Slytherin heirs can be seen with a little brain.
However, the real trap is not the trap itself, but Tom Riddle's cognitive bias towards Albert... a seriously underestimated opponent.
Albert is ready and intends to completely resolve the secret room incident during Easter.
For this reason, Albert even chose the corridor and planned his escape route.
Anyway, the basilisk does not need him to deal with it, as long as the matter is exposed, the panel task will be more than half completed.
As for Tom Riddle's ultimate opponent, it doesn't matter whether it will be his rival Harry Potter or Professor Dumbledore.
Anyway, as long as the person dealing with the basilisk is not Albert himself.
