Chapter 62. The Unintended Effects of Veritaserum... Confession, and Farewell

Tom's voice was extremely soft, with a slightly joking tone: "Ginny, you don't really think I drank the Veritaserum Potion, do you?" He almost whispered the words close to her ear, in At such a close distance, he could almost feel his warm breath.

Realizing that she had been tricked by him, Ginny hurriedly tried to back away, but was pulled into her body by Tom's hand.Before she could resist, Tom lowered his head and gagged her mouth, preventing her from dodging and feeding a sip of black tea.Slightly astringent, with a faint aroma, some cold tea poured into her mouth and slid down her throat.And after leaving her lips, Tom seemed to be licking and biting her earlobe lightly, forcing her to be enveloped in his breath.

When Tom finally let her go, he put down the teacup he had just picked up and watched with satisfaction as Ginny blushed and shook her head trying to wake up.However, Veritaserum is not an Imperius Curse after all, once the potion is swallowed, it cannot be resisted.After a short period of dizziness, Ginny only felt her nerves were extremely relaxed, and her whole body was in a relaxed state. She could hear the sounds of the outside world, but she couldn't concentrate her mind.

Tom's voice sounded right next to her ears, and it seemed more seductive than usual: "Dear Ginny, tell me, why are you feeding me Veritaserum?"

Ginny understood what he was asking, but she couldn't control her voice, and replied spontaneously: "In order to know who is sent by the main soul."

"Oh? Then why do you need to know?" There was something dangerous in Tom's tone, but Ginny, who was in a daze, couldn't detect it.She still replied unconsciously: "For Harry's safety, the main soul must want to kill Harry."

"Harry..." Tom said the name in a low voice, slightly angry, "Ginny, why do you care so much about Harry?"

Under the effect of Veritaserum, Ginny only felt that her mind was in a mess, and she couldn't analyze or understand the emotions contained in his words. She just mechanically answered every question he asked: "Harry is the savior. Here, we can keep all of us safe, so I hope to help him as much as I can." Even though the plot has changed, Harry is still the protagonist, and Ginny has always believed that as long as Harry is safe, they can be safe.

However, such a vague answer had a different meaning in Tom's ears. It seemed more like a little girl's blind worship and unconditional trust in the object of her love.Therefore, he suddenly grabbed Ginny's wrist, and his voice was cold, even gnashing his teeth: "What kind of attitude do you have towards Harry?"

"What kind of mentality?" Ginny murmured and repeated Tom's question, and then replied without hesitation, "Like a friend, like a brother, like a hope that I need to do my best to support." Her voice gradually dropped After going on, "I still can't fall in love with him..." She thought she could, could try to fall in love with him, but in the end she couldn't cultivate that sprouting feeling, and could only maintain a friendship , or a family relationship.And this feeling was finally unreservedly dissected under the effect of Veritaserum.

"Then, who do you love?" Tom suddenly smiled lowly, stretched out his hand and slowly stroked her face, his eyes sparkled with interest.

"Who am I in love with?" Ginny asked herself in confusion, "Who am I in love with?" The effect of the medicine relaxed her nerves, reminding her that when she was sober, she was not rational at all. Many inexplicable feelings that I will and will not allow myself to think of, reflect on the deepest subconscious in my heart.Everyone and everything she met since time travel flashed before her eyes one by one, accompanied by this unanswerable question, who is she really loving?Under the stimulation of Veritaserum, she couldn't avoid this question, and she couldn't hide it from others, and she couldn't even hide her true thoughts.When a vague image gradually emerged in her heart and gradually became clear, she whispered out a name: "Tom Marvolo Riddle!" That strange yet familiar name, which she didn't even expect to blurt out name.

After hearing Ginny's answer, Tom let go of his hand in satisfaction, leaned back on the chair and looked at Ginny who was still in a state of confusion, waiting for the effect of the medicine to pass.When the effect of Veritaserum was lifted, Ginny finally got out of the state of being unable to control herself.She glanced angrily at Tom, who was sitting across from her with a smile on her face. She quickly stood up and wanted to leave, but Tom waved his wand and stopped her.

Tom walked up to her slowly: "Ginny, you love me, and you can't fool me or yourself under the effect of Veritaserum. You love me, this is an inescapable fact."

"I love you? So what? Even you don't believe in the so-called love. It's just too ridiculous. It's just something you can use. I'm sorry, I don't want it either." Ginny looked at Tom with a bit of embarrassment. , trying to cover up his gaffe.Was it because she was careless, or because she underestimated him too much, that he fed the veritaserum back and forced out such a terrible truth.Even her subconscious, which she was not aware of, was exposed to him in such a naked way, she couldn't accept it for a while, and was even more shocked that she couldn't face it.It would be too out of control to throw away rationality and obey instinct, and she would never allow herself to go that far.

"Ginny, why do you run away? As I said earlier, I am obviously more suitable for you than Harry. So, come to my side and create an era that belongs to us together with me." Tom ignored Ginny's eyes of resistance , staring at her irrefutably.

"Then what? After fulfilling your dreams and realizing your ambitions, throw away me who is no longer of use? Or simply use me as a scapegoat to perfect your public image?" Ginny mocked weakly. .She never believed that Tom would fall in love with her, and if she followed her love, she might only be a betrayer of a sad family and camp. sad ending.

"Ginny, you're smart enough to not fall to that point. You really love me, that's already proved, in fact, you've already begun to agree with me and accept me, and you'll fall to my side in the end." Tom avoided Instead of asking Ginny some pointed questions, he persuaded her with his usual deceptive methods.

However, Ginny was keenly aware of the problems he avoided.Sighing, Ginny called his name for the first time: "Tom, since you said we are so similar, then you should understand that I will not choose to throw myself into a relationship without hesitation. I will weigh, choose, and understand What is the path I should take. Therefore, after all, I will not completely lose my direction because of the so-called love."

She is very clear about where her future lies, and she will not abandon her camp and betray into the unknown possibility.Only the current environment can give her shelter, so that she doesn't have to worry about possible sacrifices and abandonment.Therefore, she will not gamble her life for the love that is too unreliable.People like Tom have too much charm, but they also have too much danger.She never expected to truly gain his love, so she might as well restrain her love for him as much as possible and cut off all feelings for him.

Therefore, when she looked up at him again, she had already made the final decision, her eyes were full of determination: "Tom, maybe I really love you, and I was moved by the scene you described, but in the end It can't beat the reality and my own safety. You are not suitable for me, so I will not choose you, let alone follow you."

Ignoring Tom's pupils constricting suddenly, Ginny continued, "This time Veritaserum has made me face myself, and I won't deny it, but I can choose not to continue. You forced me to make a complete break with you, From now on, please don't come to me again. I beg you, let me go, I will always be on the side of the Order of the Phoenix."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Tom's reaction, Ginny forcibly increased her magic power and broke free from Tom's restraint on her.The magic rebound made her suddenly cough up a mouthful of blood, but she just pursed her lips and wiped away the blood from the corners of her mouth, and she staggered out of the secret room without caring about healing herself.She never looked at Tom again.

Seeing Ginny's leaving back, Tom didn't stop him, but lowered his eyes and whispered to himself: "Ginny, if your camp finds out your true face, if your family first abandons you, why don't you give up?" Will you reject me as firmly as you are now, and tell me that you will never be on my side?" There is never something he wants that he can't get, and there is nothing that he doesn't get willingly.He really despises love, and never believes in it, but he has always had the desire to possess, and it is very strong.Therefore, he would never follow Ginny's wishes and let her go.

In the next few days, Tom didn't come to Ginny, and Ginny didn't dare to let go of her guard.She understood that Tom would not let her go so easily, and she could only avoid him as much as possible, at least during the Triwizard Tournament, and during his time at Hogwarts, she had to be vigilant to prevent his possible unwillingness to fight with her. revenge.

At the same time, she must try her best to cut off her undeserved heartbeat, and completely cut off her nostalgia and reluctance for Tom.Every night, she forced herself not to touch Hermione's time-turner, forced herself to close her eyes, and told herself not to think about it in the dark, until she could gradually control herself and try her best to forget that moment A forbidden love.

When Christmas is coming, there is a strange atmosphere in the school. All the girls seem to be very excited. They gather in groups in the corridor, giggling and whispering. Then he laughed shrilly.And beside the two warriors, Cedric and Harry, a large group of girls often gathered, all looking at them expectantly.Ginny asked Hermione curiously what happened, but Hermione just smiled disapprovingly: "There is a dance at Christmas, and warriors need to dance. I think they most likely want to be the companions of warriors. "

So it turned out, Ginny belatedly remembered the description in the original book.Recently, because I was a little upset, I even forgot about it.She smiled and approached Hermione: "Hermione, what about you, who are you going to go with? Has anyone asked you out?"

Under Ginny's gaze, Hermione blushed a little: "That Krum of Durmstrang came to ask me out, but I haven't made a final decision yet, and I haven't agreed to him yet."

"Oh, so are you waiting for my idiot brother Ron?" Ginny said with a smirk.

"Ginny!" Hermione gave her an annoyed look, trying to hide her embarrassment.It's just that it was rare to see "Miss Know-it-all" with such an expression, and Ginny couldn't help feeling a little amused.However, thinking of the complexity between her and Tom, he couldn't help but sighed secretly. The relationship between him and her would never be so simple and beautiful.

"By the way, Ginny, what about you?" Hermione seemed to have thought of something suddenly, "Students under the fourth grade can only attend the dance if they are invited by students above the fourth grade. Actually, I guess Harry must want to Please, I'm just sorry."

Ginny smiled and shook her head: "Besides, I'm actually not that interested in the prom. If Harry really invites me, I'll think about it." She knew that Tom would definitely attend the prom, and she wanted to have as little contact with him as possible. chance to meet.Unless Harry needed her to go to the dance with her, she wasn't going to reach out to someone else.

Hearing what Ginny said, Hermione didn't say anything more, just showing a thoughtful look.But a few days later, Ron suddenly stopped Ginny at the door of the classroom after class one day: "Ginny, are you free? I have something to tell you." His mysterious appearance made Jin Ni is a little funny.Although she guessed what he might want to say, Ginny still pretended to be ignorant and nodded: "Okay, then let's find a quiet place and talk about it." She deliberately emphasized "Okay "Say a word" pronunciation, it was interesting to watch Ron's face burn red, and the redness spread to the base of his ears.
