Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

"Girls' bathroom why are we here?" Draco walked to Myrtle's bathroom and stopped.

"If you don't want to come in, you can stay at the door." Ron said impatiently.

"We are just guessing right now. The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is probably here." Harry explained to Draco.

Draco frowned, then reluctantly stepped into the bathroom.

"Harry" Myrtle happily floated in front of Harry, "What do you want this time?"

Myrtle circled around Harry, and then she noticed Draco walking at the back. "New guy." She looked at Draco with ambiguous eyes, and then said shyly, "Welcome." You’ll come here often.”

Draco was a little disgusted by Myrtle's words, but he didn't care about it now. He looked around the bathroom and didn't find anything different. He became a little restless and began to feel unsure. Is it the right decision to come to Harry and Ron on his own? Harry is currently chatting with the female ghost and asking about the cause of her death. Draco doesn't understand why he should care about how a ghost who has been in school for many years died at this time. , until the ghost pointed out a location for Harry.

"This faucet never produces water," Myrtle said happily.

"Harry, say a few words in Parseltongue," Ron said.

Harry tried a few times, but what he came out with were words that others could understand, not parseltongue.

"Just imagine it as a snake." Draco urged eagerly.

Harry tried again, and this time he made a hissing sound. The pool flashed white light as if it was being induced, quickly spun up, and then disappeared, leaving a passage in front of them. Everyone took a breath, and everyone seemed a little undecided whether they should go in or not.

"I want to go down."

Draco and Ron said at the same time, and then they looked at each other awkwardly and quickly turned their heads away. Both of them frowned because they said the same thing as the other person.

"Well, it seems you don't need me anymore," Lockhart said suddenly, "Then I will"

"You go down first." Ron pointed his wand at Lockhart.

Because Lockhart lost his wand, he had to obediently approach the hole. When he had reached the edge of the hole, he seemed unwilling to give up and wanted to struggle again, "Children, I really think so."

Before he could finish his words, Ron had already pushed him, and Lockhart slipped through the entrance. Then Harry jumped into the portal, followed closely by Draco, and Ron was the last to enter.

After a long slide, they reached a dark tunnel. They used their wands to light up the faint light, and the four of them moved forward slowly.

"Harry, what is that?" Ron suddenly pointed at a huge thing in front of him and said.

They walked over cautiously, and then discovered that what was in front of them was a huge snake skin. Judging from the snake skin, the snake was at least twenty miles long. Draco tried hard to tell himself, Nydia is a parselmouth, there must be something she can do to keep the snakes from attacking her.

Just as they were looking at the snake skin carefully, a small and timid voice suddenly sounded from in front of them, "Harry Ron, is that you?"

Harry and Ron quickly turned their wands and let the light shine forward. They saw Ginny weakly kneeling on the ground. Her expression looked extremely haggard, and there were faint traces of tears on her cheeks.

"Oh Ginny" Ron ran over excitedly and supported the shaky Ginny. "It's great that you're not dead."

Harry was about to go over to check on Ginny, but another figure rushed over one step ahead of him.

Draco excitedly grabbed Ginny's shoulders, asked her to look at him, and then asked eagerly, "Where's Nydia? Is she with you?"

As soon as Ginny heard Nydia's name, she immediately started crying uncontrollably. Her reaction made Draco even more panicked, and he forced himself not to think about bad things.

"Don't cry and talk. Where is she?"

Ron angrily pushed away Draco who had been shaking Ginny, "She is very weak now, can't you see?"

"At least she's still here," Draco yelled.

"Ginny, tell me slowly, what exactly happened?" Harry comforted Ginny, hoping that she would calm down and tell them what exactly happened.

"It's all my fault that I didn't listen to Nydia," Ginny cried as she explained intermittently how she was deceived and controlled by Tom Riddle and did those terrible things. "Nitya was trapped in a trap to save me. I can’t get into the secret room and I can’t get out through this tunnel to find someone to help. It’s all my fault.”

Listening to Ginny narrating what happened, Draco even felt that his heart had stopped beating for a moment. She was now locked in the secret room alone. In addition to a huge basilisk, there was also a Evil ghost, how helpless she must be! He has never been so regretful and annoyed as he is now. If something really happens to Nitya, the last words he says to her will be the words "I do Don't understand you at all.

"Malfoy, are you okay?" Harry asked Draco tentatively, noticing that Draco's originally fair skin had now become even more lifeless pale.

Draco didn't speak. He didn't know what he should say to express his feelings now. He even began to be afraid to move forward. He was afraid that he would see Nydia who had lost her life. He couldn't accept it. Such a picture.

"Hey, don't be like this." Ron said awkwardly, "Nitya may be fine. She has always mastered the magic well, and the basilisk is not that easy to attack her. As long as she doesn't go. Looking at the basilisk." After saying this, Ron himself began to feel that there was little hope and didn't know how to comfort him. They hadn't had time to tell Nydia not to look directly into the basilisk's eyes. If she didn't know this, then She might not even have a chance to struggle. He felt sad and guilty. He had said so many unpleasant words to Nydia before, but now she was trapped in a secret room with her life and death uncertain in order to save Ginny. .

The four of them fell into silence, and the only sound left in the tunnel was Ginny's occasional sobs. In the end, Draco was the first to stand up.

"No matter what, I will find her." After saying these words, he prepared to continue walking forward.

"Wow, this is really touching," Lockhart, who had been almost forgotten by everyone, suddenly said.

Everyone looked at Lockhart in surprise and saw that he was holding Ron's wand in his hand and pointing it at them.

"When?" Ron finally reacted. He found that his wand had been taken away by Lockhart at some point.

"Don't you have any brains? Why don't you take care of your wand?" Draco said angrily to Ron.

"Children, your adventure is over," Lockhart said proudly. "I am going to take this belt to school and tell them that I was too late and failed to save the girl, and as soon as you saw her The bloody corpse is so painful that it has lost its sanity.”

Lockhart felt extremely happy. These children included Field, who had not yet been found, especially Field. Although he didn’t know how she learned about her, there was no need to worry now, she was definitely dead. , these children will also have their memories erased by themselves, their secrets will be preserved, and a medal for defeating the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets monster will be added to their honor list.

"Bye your memories," Lockhart raised Ron's wand high above his head and shouted, "Forget it forever."

The wand suddenly exploded. The force of the explosion caused the stones on the ceiling of the tunnel to fall continuously. The four people began to avoid the falling stones. Until everything calmed down, they got up from the ground and checked the surrounding areas. Condition.

"Ron, Ginny, are you okay?" Harry shouted, he couldn't see where they were.

"I'm fine," Ron replied. "But Lockhart seems to have been hit by his own spell."

"I'm fine too." Ginny was pulled up from the ground by Ron.

"Malfoy" Harry asked again.

"It's okay," Draco replied shortly, standing up and dusting himself off.

"Oh no, Harry." Ron looked at the stone in front of him, "The stone is blocking the road, we can't get to your side."

"Damn" Draco also noticed this situation. He started to move the stones in front of him with his hands, but the speed was too slow. There was no way they could open a way out with such a large pile of stones at once.

"You guys wait here," Harry said after thinking for a moment, "I'll move on, I'll go find Nydia if I don't come back within an hour."

"No, let's move these rocks away so we can crawl through them and we can go find her together." Ron also joined Draco.

Then Ginny came forward to help move the rocks away. She was already crying again.

"This will only waste time. Nydia may not be able to wait that long." Harry tried to keep his voice steady, "See you later." After saying that, Harry turned around and continued walking forward.

"Potter," Draco suddenly stopped Harry, and then said in a trembling voice, "Bring her back."

"I will." Harry replied firmly.

Harry continued to move forward alone, and soon he came to a stone wall carved with snakes. This was the entrance to the secret room that Ginny said, right? Nydia was behind this stone door now.

Harry looked at the snakes on the stone wall intently, imagining them as alive. He once again made an opening sound in hissing snake language. The stone door immediately split in two and moved to both sides, and Harry walked into the secret room.
