struggle

After Christmas, all the students returned to Hogwarts one after another, only Hermione did not come back to class.All the students were talking about it, thinking that she was attacked and petrified.But in the face of everyone's inquiries, Harry and Ron responded perfunctorily, vaguely answering that Hermione had an "acute illness" and it was contagious, so they couldn't visit her, which made everyone even more puzzled. It also made Ginny secretly amused.

After finishing another Defense Against the Dark Arts class of "listening to stories", Ginny quickly packed up her books, and walked up to the second floor by herself while all the students were rushing to the hall.Arriving around the door of Myrtle's abandoned bathroom, she saw Filch coming out with a face full of anger: "Damn Myrtle, you can never stop. Mopping the floor all night, She splashed water all over the floor again. I won't do it anymore, let those people with magic solve it, why should I manually solve things that can be solved by magic at once." And the companion Myrtle's cries grew louder and louder with his roaring and cursing.

Ginny dodged to the side, avoiding Filch, and after he stormed downstairs, she looked left and right, and after making sure there was no one else, she opened the door and entered the bathroom.The clean water in the bathroom was flowing across the door, and it was still seeping out through the crack of the door, spreading half of the corridor. Obviously, the reason why Filch was so angry just now must be because of this.Myrtle was still hiding in the single room, weeping unceasingly, causing echoes in the empty room, and she didn't notice anyone entering.

Ginny stood on tiptoe, waded through the stagnant water, and walked to the front of the private room where Myrtle used to stay. After hearing her crying louder and louder, she took out the diary from her schoolbag, threw it inside, and then He quickly hid in the single room next to him.After Myrtle was hit by the diary, she asked sharply: "Who? Who hit me?" The high-pitched voice kept thinking back, bringing constant echoes.After asking several times without answering, she cried loudly again: "Hit me, come on, hit me, one or two, it's fun to bully me, isn't it?"

After making sure that Myrtle would not come out, Ginny quickly walked out of the bathroom.She remembered that in the original book, it was Myrtle who pointed out her discarded diary to Harry, and now she believed that Harry would pick it up as well.After Valentine's Day, she would steal the diary from Harry's bedroom to complete what she should do.Harry and Tom have to meet once, and she facilitates their destined showdown.

Ginny thought about it all the way, and when she reached the stairs, she accidentally saw Lockhart coming up from downstairs.Seeing Ginny's move to go downstairs, he immediately showed his signature smile: "Miss Weasley, good evening."

"Professor Lockhart, good evening." Ginny put on a polite smile, and hurriedly wanted to go downstairs.

"Miss Weasley, are you looking for me? You look in such a hurry. But unfortunately, I don't have time now. You know, there are too many people who admire me, even your administrator Filch He also often asks me to help him with small favors. As an outstanding wizard, I am too dazzling, and I know too much magic, which is why I have this trouble, because I am too embarrassed to refuse other people's requests."

Lockhart wanted to start talking about his popularity again, but this time Ginny really didn't want to talk to him at this time.So she just smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Professor Lockhart, I'm really in a hurry, please allow me to leave first." With that, she gave a hasty salute and left the second floor.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Is it more important than listening to my teaching?" Lockhart muttered to himself and glanced at the direction Ginny came down, just in time to see the bathroom with the "Failure" sign, so he thought He smiled understandingly, "So that's it, no wonder I'm in a hurry. Haha, I really admire my little girl so much, I'm sure I'm too embarrassed to tell her why she's 'in a hurry'." Playing a trick with the wand in his hand, he Lifting up his violet robe, he continued to walk towards the second floor.

After walking down the second floor, Ginny took a breath, then walked towards the medical wing as if nothing had happened.Not far away, Harry and Ron happened to be walking towards her, and Ron could vaguely hear Ron complaining to Harry that Snape assigned too much homework, and that she really hoped that Hermione would be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible.

Seeing Ginny, Harry greeted first: "Ginny, hello, where are you going?"

"I'll go to the hospital wing to visit Hermione and see if she's better." Ginny replied with a smile. She was one of the few people whose real situation of Hermione was not concealed, and Hermione allowed her to go there at any time visit.

"Yes, Ginny, go and see her, talk to her by the way, and ask her if she can copy me the formula of the hair growth potion." Ron's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked expectantly. Looking at Ginny, Harry secretly bumped him with his elbow, but he simply took out the parchment and pen and stuffed them into Ginny's hand as if he didn't feel it.

"Okay, I'll ask for you. By the way, Harry, Ron, where are you going?" Ginny put away the parchment and asked casually.

"Go back to the Gryffindor tower, where else can we go?" Ron pointed listlessly, "There's too much homework to finish, that's why you asked Hermione to help us."

"I see, then I'll go first." Ginny waved at them, then turned and continued walking forward.They will pass by the second floor and pick up the diary. As long as the plot matches, she doesn't have to worry about it.

February [-]th is coming soon, and Lockhart really enthusiastically prepared the so-called Valentine's Day surprise, having a dozen dwarves dressed up as Cupids and delivering Valentine's Day cards to the students.Wearing a pink robe, he kept agitating the students, and even wanted to drag the professor into the water, making all the professors present look a bit ugly.However, the strange thing is that Lockhart's own face is not very good-looking, a little pale, as if he was too tired, and Ginny can't help but wonder if he has stayed up late these days to answer the letters from those admirers. late.

After passing through several excited crowds, dodging the gloomy-faced dwarves with wings playing Cupid, Ginny made her way back to the Gryffindor tower.Seeing Ginny walk in, the twins immediately gathered around and began to sing together:

"Oh, our dear little princess—"

"On this special day."

"Do you need to reveal some secret?"

"Do you need to express some yearning?"

"As your dearest brother—"

"We would like to help you."

"Help you convey your true feelings that you can't express."

"I believe we will definitely do better than those dwarves."

Ginny pushed away their arms that were on her shoulders, and glanced at them with a smile: "Dear brothers, are your tastes the same as Professor Lockhart's?" She said, walking straight in front of Harry , took out the chocolate that had already been prepared, "Harry, happy holidays! This is a new product from Honeydukes. It's not very sweet, I believe it will suit your taste." Harry took the chocolate that Ginny handed over, somewhat at a loss. Chocolat said, "Thank you!" Then a blush rose on her face.

After the twins were stunned, they quickly clapped their hands: "Wow, you are so handsome, you really deserve to be our little sister!" Ron stared at this scene dumbfounded, and then quickly glanced at He who was sitting next to him. Min, coughed a few times, but there was a suspicious blush on his face.Not far away, Percy looked at their actions with some disapproval, but in the end he didn't say anything, just frowned.Then, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly picked up his schoolbag and said unnaturally: "Uh, I'll go out for a while." Without waiting for everyone's response, he pushed the door and walked out of the Gryffindor common room.

George glanced at Percy's back suspiciously, and habitually put his arm on Fred's shoulder: "Brother, don't you find that Percy's behavior is suspicious?"

"Well, that's weird." Fred nodded with feigned deepness, and then suddenly showed a look of shock. "Does he--even have a girlfriend?"

"God, that's horrible, it's even more unbelievable than Merlin being a woman. Think, is he going to find a Ravenclaw with thick glasses like Myrtle, and then two On the night of Valentine's Day, we were discussing topics like 'Honey, look, to make a shrinking potion, you should put caterpillars first, then mouse spleen'?" George imitated Percy's usual appearance, pushing The non-existent glasses on his face.

"Oh, that's just—a disaster!" The twins hugged each other as if they were greatly frightened, and then said in unison.That exaggerated expression made everyone laugh, and also drove away the embarrassment of everyone just now.Only Ginny knew that the twins were in some way the truth, that Percy did have a girlfriend, and that, indeed, it was Ravenclaw's.

Everyone changed the subject and laughed a few more words, but Harry always had a slightly unnatural expression, as if joy mixed with bewilderment.Ginny simply packed up her homework and went back to the dormitory on the pretext of being tired.She knew that Harry was still a child after all, so far, he had been close to her and had a good impression of her, but it was not true love, and everyone's booing was more of a kind of insincere joke.But as long as she can maintain such a relationship similar to family affection mixed with goodwill, it is enough for her.

There was no one in the dormitory, obviously everyone was excited for this Valentine's Day today, and they haven't come back yet.Ginny put down her schoolbag, but saw a note lying on her desk. She picked it up, but after seeing the words clearly, she froze on the spot for an instant. There was only a simple sentence on the note "Little Ginny, Happy St. Valentine's Day!" was written in the same way, but through the emotionless handwriting, she inexplicably felt that he was simply pointing to the festival of St. Valentine's Day, and even more so. It's like an ordinary holiday greeting, not a Valentine's Day blessing and confession.

Gently stroking the note, Ginny thought uncertainly, this tone was like Tom's usual, but the font on it was not his usual slightly sharp cursive, but a more complicated and gorgeous style. font.Moreover, Tom should not have materialized yet, and it is impossible for him to write this note by himself.At present, the diary should still be in Harry's place. If this note was sent by Harry, there is indeed a chance, but the font is not Harry's usual handwriting.

Unable to figure it out, she simply pulled out her wand and burned the short note, but the doubts in her heart had not been solved, and she was still a little inexplicably disturbed.Perhaps, she should consider finding an opportunity to steal the diary back from Harry within a few days.

The author has something to say: I have always thought that Valentine's Day is LoveDay or something like this, but after checking it, I found out that it is directly Saint Valentine's Day (SaintValentine's Day), so Happy Valentine's Day in English, It’s Happy St. Valentine’s Day, so let’s take Tom Cruise’s holiday greetings as a confession (Dun~~
