Chapter 20 The plot of the tone shift and the fourth attack

As spring approached, the weather became clearer and warmer, and Wood's training for the Quidditch team became more and more frequent. Almost every night after dinner, a training session was called.Ginny waited anxiously for a long time, and finally, the night before the next Quidditch match in Gryffindor, everyone who had waited for Harry's dormitory left their dormitory to watch the team's final training.

Ginny, who had been sitting in the common room for a long time after seeing Neville walked out of the dormitory and locked the door for the last time, quietly closed the book in her hand that hadn't been turned for a long time.After confirming that no one around saw her, she went straight to Harry's bedroom, drew out her wand and pointed at the door, silently chanting: "Alahoh hole!" The door opened silently following her incantation.

She walked in with light steps, closed the door casually, and added the Silencing Charm and Locking Charm.It was suddenly dark in front of her eyes, and Ginny closed her eyes uncomfortably: "Luminescence flashes." A little light emerged from the tip of the wand, illuminating a small area in front of her.She looked around, and then stretched out her hand in the direction of Harry's cabinet and bed: "The diary is flying in." The surroundings were still quiet, and there was no response.She thought for a while, and added another qualifier: "Tom Marvolo Riddle's diary flew in." However, there was still no book-like thing that obeyed her call.

how so?Ginny was slightly surprised, and raised her wand again, allowing it to illuminate as much of the surrounding area as possible, looking for where Harry might have kept his books.From Harry's bed, to the bedside table, to the desk, there was no diary anywhere.It seems that the original plan of not leaving any traces is not feasible, and can only be turned over manually.Ginny walked forward helplessly, lifted the sheet on Harry's bed, and groped inch by inch to see if there was any hidden book-like thing.After searching the bed carefully, she found nothing, so she could only open the bedside table and dig out everything, but there was still nothing.Then there were cabinets, boxes, everything that belonged to Harry, and she went through it all, but was horrified to find that there was no trace of any diary.

Seeing the time slipping by, she couldn't help becoming anxious, bit her lip, and her forehead was slightly sweating, but she didn't give up and looked through Ron's things, even Neville's things, but found nothing.Is the diary really not here?However, Harry and Ron were indeed planning to go upstairs that day. According to the original book, they should have picked it up.

However, if someone else picked it up, if it really didn't develop according to the original work, what should I do?Ginny suddenly thought of this question, and her heart jumped up.So far, everything has been developed according to the original book, which makes her take it for granted that Harry must also pick up the diary.But what if things change and there is a deviation?Her time travel was already an accidental factor, even though she desperately followed the plot of the original book, she couldn't remember every detail, is it because of this that some changes have been caused?Small changes will cause a domino-like chain reaction, the effect of the butterfly effect, is it because she changed something inadvertently, which will derail the current development.

Ginny stood blankly on the spot for a long time, the wand in her hand was no longer supported by the magic power, and the fluorescent spell was extinguished, completely covering the surroundings in darkness, making the whole dormitory reveal an unknown feeling. Fear, it seems that danger lurks out of nowhere, and the messy scene is just like her current mood, messy and chaotic.Her mind is in chaos, she loses the support of the plot, all her plans will be disrupted, her future will be an unknown, she doesn't like the feeling of being out of control, but she doesn't know where to start, to make this The out-of-control plot was reversed.

There was gradually a commotion outside. It should be that all the people who went to watch Harry and his training had returned.Ginny suddenly came to her senses. No matter what, she should leave here first, so that no one could discover her anomaly and have doubts about her.Now every classmate might be the one who took the diary. She couldn't let them notice her suspicion, so she could only investigate secretly, hoping to find that person, get the diary back, and put the plot on the right track again.She waved her wand casually, and the silent "restore to original" made everything quickly return to her original position. Before Harry and the others returned to her dormitory, she quietly left and returned to her dormitory.

The next day's weather was sunny, and Harry seemed in a very good mood, full of confidence in today's game, and obviously didn't notice any signs of his things being turned over yesterday.Ginny, on the other hand, was a little absent-minded. She ate her breakfast without a mouthful. From time to time, she looked at the appearance of all the students present, trying to find out who was a little abnormal, who might have taken the diary, but was frustrated to find that there was no clue at all. It can be inferred.

Seeing Ginny's listless look, Harry handed her a glass of milk, and when she raised her head and smiled at him gratefully, he asked a little shyly, "Ginny, will you go to our game later? "

Ginny originally wanted to go back to the dormitory and continue to organize her thoughts, but now that the plot had changed, she was not sure whether Harry would be in danger. She thought she had to stay by his side as much as possible to ensure that she could keep an eye on the latest news. The change.Therefore, she tried her best to pretend that nothing had happened and smiled: "Of course, I will go to cheer for you and our academy."

After breakfast, Ginny left the hall with Harry, Ron and Hermione.He had just stepped up the stairs when Harry suddenly called out: "That voice! I heard it again just now—did you hear it?"

Ron shook his head blankly, and Ginny immediately reached into her pocket and gripped her wand tightly.The voice that only Harry can understand, it must be Haierbo's voice, after leaving Tom's possession, she can't understand Parseltongue now, and naturally she can't guess Tom's next move, so no matter what, she must Follow Harry to find out the current owner of the diary as quickly as possible.

Harry was obviously flustered, but Hermione suddenly reached out and patted his forehead: "Harry, I suddenly realized something, I'm going to the library!" Ginny immediately understood what Hermione was thinking, she Hastily stretched out her hand to hold Hermione, but Hermione has already hurriedly ran towards the library.Ginny remembered that according to the original plot, Hermione and Ravenclaw's prefect and Percy's girlfriend Penelope Criveva should be the next two students to be petrified, and immediately prepared to catch up in horror.

"Ginny, are you going too?" Ron stopped Ginny suspiciously. Obviously, he was the only one who didn't know anything at the moment, and was surprised by everyone's abnormal behavior.Ginny stopped abruptly. By the way, she couldn't predict to what extent the plot was distorted. It was uncertain whether Hermione would be attacked, but Harry couldn't leave him alone here. It's the protagonist, and if Tom decides to deal with him first, it's all over.

Taking a deep breath, she looked at Ron solemnly: "Ron, go catch up with Hermione right now, and you will accompany her no matter what she wants to investigate. Just, please stop her from going out of the library, wait As soon as Harry's match is over, we'll come to you immediately." Ron was obviously very puzzled, and wanted to ask, but she stopped her by raising her hand, "Ron, I won't be able to explain clearly for a while, you go first, I'll tell you the details after the game is over." Since Hermione will be able to find out that it's a basilisk later, she decided to tell them some things selectively later, and let them help her solve this problem together.It was her being too careless that caused the current result. She must recover before the worst result happened, destroy the diary as soon as possible, and put everything on the right track.

Ron was still a little puzzled, but seeing Ginny's serious face, he nodded and chased in Hermione's direction.Harry was also puzzled by Ginny's behavior, but Ginny forced a smile: "Harry, go to the competition first. After you finish the competition, I will tell you what I know."

Harry still seemed to have something to ask, but Wood came over and urged him to get ready quickly, so he could only follow Wood to the locker room.Ginny followed them, walking towards the auditorium.

The Gryffindor and Hufflepuff teams played amid the cheers of their respective houses. Mrs. Hooch released the ball, then put the whistle in her mouth, and made a signal to the teams on both sides to get ready. Just as he was about to blow the whistle, Professor McGonagall suddenly ran to the center of the arena and raised a huge purple loudspeaker in his hand: "The game is cancelled, all students return to the common room of their colleges , Immediately! Immediately! The person in charge of the academy will tell you more about the situation."

All the students, including the Quidditch players and the spectators in the auditorium booed dissatisfiedly, but Professor McGonagall did not explain further, but tensed her usual serious face, and turned towards the standing in the arena. Harry went.A bad premonition floated in Ginny's heart, and she quickly squeezed out of the auditorium and ran towards where Harry and Professor McGonagall were.When she arrived in front of them, she just heard Professor McGonagall say: "Potter, come with me." After seeing Ginny, she added, "Weasley, and you, come along too." .” With that, she turned and walked forward.

"Professor McGonagall, tell us first, what happened?" Ginny grabbed Professor McGonagall's clothes and asked in horror, hoping it wasn't what she had guessed.

Seeing Ginny's expression, Professor McGonagall sighed unbearably: "Weasley, calm down first, and you, Potter, don't worry. But, Ron Weasley and Hermione? Granger was attacked, they were found petrified not far from the library, and are now lying in the hospital wing."

God, how come?Didn't she warn Ron not to let Hermione out of the library, how could she still be attacked?Moreover, shouldn't it be Hermione and the female prefect of Ravenclaw, why is it replaced by Ron now?Ginny paled instantly, pulled Harry up and rushed towards the medical wing.

The author has something to say: the plot is twisted, the diary is no longer in Harry's hands, everyone is so smart, they basically guessed it
