HP meets at Hogwarts

"Maybe it's asleep," gasped Harry.Ann's heart was beating fast, but she felt that she shouldn't encounter a basilisk on the road.She glanced back, Lockhart pressed his hands tightly to his eyes, and Ron's wand hand was trembling.

"Stand here, I'll go and have a look." Harry said to the three of them, and then slowly moved forward.After hesitating for a moment, Ann stopped Harry, "Wait a minute." She took out a cloth bag from her pocket, and took out a plant bulb from the cloth bag.

She fiddled with the plant bulb quickly, and the bulb slowly released yellow light, and then the light gradually brightened.An used the levitation technique to direct the bulb to float towards the giant. "It's biologically luminescent and has no temperature, so snakes won't find it." An explained in a low voice.

Both Harry and Ron gave Ann an admiring look, and they were extremely glad that Ann followed them to the adventure.

"It's a pity that I only have one of these..." Ann said, she directed the bulb to float forward, she seemed to suddenly remember something, she approached Harry and asked in a low voice, "Harry, did you bring the Christmas present I gave you last time?" ?"

"I brought it! Ah! Speaking of which, Ann, you don't know how wonderful your gift is!" Harry suddenly became excited. "The last time I was in the Forbidden Forest, thanks to it I..."

"Okay, okay..." Ann interrupted Harry, "Just take it with you. If we encounter a basilisk later, you can pull out the white thread and throw it at it..."

The luminous bulb has reached the side of the behemoth. Under the yellow light, there is a pair of huge snake skin, green and very bright. At first glance, it looks like the skin of a poisonous snake, lying coiled on the ground of the tunnel, and the inside is empty. .Apparently the animal that had shed its skin was at least twenty feet long.

Ann and Harry breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and they walked towards the snakeskin.Ron sighed weakly behind them. "My God."

There was another sound, and it came from Lockhart, whose knees gave way and he collapsed.Harry glanced back, looked at Lockhart in disgust, and said to Ron, "Ron, get him up..."

Ron nodded, pointed at Lockhart with his wand, and said sternly, "Get up."

Lockhart stood up, and he threw himself on Ron, knocking him to the ground.

Harry froze for a while, and wanted to rush forward, but it was too late.Lockhart stood up panting, holding Ron's wand in his hand, and his characteristic smile was on his face again, showing his bright teeth.

"Your adventures are over, boys!" he said quickly. "I'm going to take this belt to school and tell them I was too late to save those two girls, and you To see their mangled bodies is painfully insane. Say goodbye to your memories!"

Ann also raised her wand when Lockhart said the second sentence, but it was too late. Obviously a teacher, although useless, was still much faster than the students in reciting spells.

Lockhart raised Ron's malfunctioning wand high above his head and yelled, "Forget nothing!"

Boom!!

Suddenly the wand exploded, no less powerful than a small bomb.Ann and Harry hurriedly shielded their heads with their arms, and took a few steps back, avoiding the large pieces of rubble falling from the ceiling of the tunnel to the ground.

Then, when the two released their arms, there was a thick wall of rubble in front of them.

"Ron!" Harry yelled. "Are you all right? Ron!"

"Here I am!" came Ron's muffled voice from behind the rubble wall. "I'm all right. But bad luck for the idiot, he got hit by the wand."

With a dull impact, someone screamed loudly. "Ouch." From the sound, it seemed that Ron had kicked Lockhart in the calf.

"What now?" said Ron, his voice sounding desperate. "We're stuck. It's going to take a long time to...."

Ann glanced at the gravel wall, looked down at her watch, and turned her gaze to Harry. She prayed in her heart that Harry's aura of the protagonist was strong enough to kill the snake first.And then she said, "Harry, we've lost a lot of time, we have to..."

Harry nodded and called out, "Ron, we have to go, see you later..."

The two walked around the snakeskin, gradually losing the sound of Ron moving the stone.The tunnel turned one turn after another, and Ann held the wand tightly in her right hand, and held a glass bottle taken out of a small box in her left hand.

Harry held his wand in his right hand, and in his left a broken twig with a white thread attached to it.It was Ann's gift for Christmas.

At last they came to a solid stone wall carved with two intertwined snakes, with large, shining emeralds in their eyes.

Ann glanced at Harry, who nodded, and a low hiss came from his throat.

The two snakes parted, the stone wall split in the middle and slowly slid to the sides and disappeared. "Luminescent flashes!" Ann's wand illuminated the stone road a short distance ahead, and the two stepped in.

After a few steps, they stood at one side of a long, dimly lit room.Many stone pillars engraved with coiled and entangled snakes stand tall and support the ceiling that melts in the darkness of the heights, casting long and treacherous black shadows on the entire room filled with green and mysterious atmosphere.

The two stepped lightly and walked past the stone pillars.As they passed the last pair of stone pillars, they saw a statue as tall as the room itself, clinging to the darkened wall behind.

It was a gigantic face, an old, monkey-like face, with a long, sparse beard that trailed almost to the hem of the wizard's robes carved in stone, and two large gray feet standing on the smooth surface of the room. on the floor.

And between those two feet, lying face down, were two small figures in black robes, Fanny and Ginny.

"Ginny! Fanny!" Harry ran over quickly, knelt down, and shook Ginny vigorously, "Ginny, wake up!" The wand and the broken branch in his hand fell from his hands and rolled to a place not far away. place.

Ann suppressed the excitement in her heart. She was looking around carefully, walking towards the place where the two were lying. When she saw Harry's wand and the broken branch fell off, she couldn't help cursing, "FUCK..."

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared not far from where Harry dropped his wand, and he said, "She won't wake up."

Ann immediately pointed the wand at the figure that appeared, and shouted, "Expelliarmus!" The wand emitted a beam of white light, but passed through the figure.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

It was only then that An saw clearly that there was a tall boy with black hair in front of him, not more than 16 years old. He was leaning on the nearest stone pillar and staring at him.The boy's outline was indistinct and strange.He bent over and picked up Harry's wand, playing with it in his hand.

For a while, An didn't know what to do. She didn't expect a ghost to appear, and the spell would not work on him. She thought she would be fine just facing the basilisk.Now we can only wait and see how the opponent plays cards, An thought.

But after Harry spoke, she greeted God again.Because Harry said a name, "Tom? Tom Riddle? Are you a ghost?"

"A memory," Riddle said quietly, "kept in a diary for 50 years." He pointed to the statue's big toe.There was an old diary lying there, and An immediately stared at the diary.She wondered if there was any way to destroy the diary, which she knew was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.But she didn't dare to act rashly. The other party had a snake and two hostages, and now she had an extra Harry's wand in her hand. The disparity in strength was too great.

Riddle started chatting with Harry, and Ann turned her attention to the broken branch that fell on the ground, maybe I can pick it up secretly, it is a big killer, alas, I should not have sent him to Give it to Harry, how good it is for yourself.

Ann secretly took a small step towards the broken branch, and the two were still chatting.An secretly moved another small step, and the two were still chatting.Ann took a big step secretly, and was already very close to the broken branch.

"Don't move!" Tom Riddle pointed his wand at Ann, and Ann quickly stood still, aggressively pointing his wand at Riddle.

"Hehe," Riddle laughed, "a second-year student, I don't think you can come to my place with any threat..."

"Haha, is that so?" Ann also laughed, feeling very nervous but her face remained unchanged, and she pretended to be calm, "Then I think you can't use a magic wand in a memory, Mr. Riddle. Oh, no, you should Mr. Voldemort?" While the two were in a daze, Ann took another step towards the broken branch, which she could pick up just by bending over.

Harry opened his mouth wide, and he stared blankly at Tom. He was still in shock when he found out that Ginny was the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets, but he didn't expect a more shocking news waiting for him.

"Didn't expect you to know me?" Tom retracted his wand and held it in his hand. "It's really interesting."

"Why did you catch Fanny?" Ann planned to delay as long as possible, because Voldemort would call the snake out to help at any time, and at that time the two of them couldn't handle the basilisk even if they had broken branches.Dumbledore will definitely help the protagonist, and she hopes to wait until then.

"Who are you talking about? Oh, that unlucky girl, she saw Ginny open the door of the secret room today, of course I have to catch her too... But none of you are the protagonist today, today's protagonist is him..." Riddle He turned back to Harry.

"Tsk tsk, I have a lot of questions for you, Harry Potter!"

"What's the question?" Harry snapped, fists clenched.

"Like," said Riddle, with a pleasing smile, "how does a baby, without any particularly magical spells, defeat the greatest wizard who ever lived? How can you escape with nothing but a scar , and my powers were destroyed?" There was a strange red light in his eyes.

"You're not." Harry didn't answer Riddle, only his calm voice was full of hatred.

"Not what?" Riddle asked sharply.

"Not the greatest wizard in the world," said Harry breathlessly. "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the greatest wizard in the world is Albus Dumbledore. Everyone says that. Even in the When you were powerful, you dared not try to control Hogwarts. Dumbledore saw through you when you were in school, and he still scares you, no matter where you hide these days."

After hearing Harry's righteous words, Ann was speechless. Do you have to provoke Voldemort at this time?God, you have to know that we don't have any bargaining chips in our hands, what kind of righteous words do you use to criticize! ?

The smile on Riddle's face disappeared, replaced by a very ugly expression. "I just used my memory to kick Dumbledore out of the castle!" he said through gritted teeth.

"You're right, he's not gone!" Harry retorted.

At this moment, a burst of music sounded, and a crimson bird suddenly descended from the sky. It had a golden tail, as long as a peacock's tail, and a pair of golden claws, holding a tattered pack.

Dumbledore's support finally arrived, and Ann breathed a sigh of relief.

The big bird flew straight at Harry.It dropped the tattered thing in its paws at Harry's feet, then perched heavily on Harry's shoulder.

"Fox?" Harry looked at the bird in surprise, and shouted happily to Ann, "It's Dumbledore's phoenix."

Kean just looked at what the bird had just dropped at Harry's feet.Riddle also looked at Harry's footsteps, and then he laughed out loud, "This is what Dumbledore gave his protector! A singing bird and a broken hat! Harry Potter , do you feel emboldened? Do you feel safe?"

"Come on, Harry," said Riddle, still with a smug smile on his face, "in your past...and in my future, we've met twice. I failed to kill you both times. Are you How did you escape from death? Tell me everything. As long as your words last, your little life can last as long.”

"Nobody knows why you suddenly lost your power when you hit me," said Harry stiffly. "I don't know myself. But I know why you didn't kill me. Because my mother came to save me." of my ordinary Muggle-born mother,"

He went on, trembling with the rage he was trying to suppress, "She stopped you from killing me. I saw you for real, and I saw you last year. You're just a pile of rags, half dead. See You used to have great powers, but you ended up like this. You are hiding, you are ugly and disgusting!"

Riddle's face contorted.Then he forced a hideous smile.

"So it is. Your mother died trying to save you. Yes, that was a very effective counter-curse. I see now that, after all, there is nothing special about you. You know, I always Can't figure it out. Because there are some curious similarities between the two of us, Harry Potter. You must have noticed it yourself. We're both half-bloods, both orphans, both raised by Muggles. Probably the only two Parseltongues ever to enter Hogwarts since the great Slytherin himself. We even look a bit alike.. But in the end, it turns out you just got lucky from me escaped. That's all I want to know."

After speaking, Riddle stopped smiling. He glanced at Harry and Ann, and let out a long hissing sound from his throat in a low voice.

While they were talking, Ann had already picked up the broken branch and put it in his pocket, and when Riddle began to speak Parseltongue, Ann shouted, "Harry, take the Sorting Hat, there is your weapon in it. Basilisk It's coming out!" She said as she ran towards the statue's paws, she wanted to pick up the diary, although she still doesn't know how to destroy the diary, it's always better to get it first.

The moment she got the diary, a huge basilisk crawled out from the mouth of the statue. It was green and glowing with the unique radiance of poisonous snakes. Its body was as thick as an adult camphor tree. Its flat head was spitting red Nobuko.
