struggle

The next day, Rudolphs came to the Riddle mansion again tremblingly. Under Tom's cold gaze, he tremblingly handed over a letter: "The master asked me to deliver it to you."

"Master? Rudolphs, you changed your words so quickly." Tom played with his wand, with no emotion on his face.

Rudolphs almost pressed his body to the ground, his face dripping with cold sweat: "I, I just follow Bella's wishes, I don't know anything." .

"You don't even have the courage to admit it, and you're not even as good as Bella." Tom gave him a contemptuous glance, "You can go, you don't even deserve me to do it." No wonder the main soul would choose to let him deliver the letter, so stupid and useless It's true that it's not a pity to die, and the main soul presumably doesn't like him at all.

It’s just that Rudolphs didn’t care about Tom’s contempt for him. He was just happy that he finally saved his life, but he was afraid that Tom would change his mind again, so he saluted hastily and left the hall immediately. He didn't even have time to glance at the other Death Eaters around him.

After Tom watched Rudolphs walk out of the Riddle mansion almost scrambling, he picked up the letter he had just delivered on the table, took out the parchment inside, and speculated at the same time that the main soul sent him a letter intention of.However, after he saw clearly what was written in the letter, he froze suddenly, feeling a little unbelievable because the content in it exceeded his expectations.

Tom:

Ginny is in my hands, and the requirements for her to go back are very simple, one is the prophecy ball, and the other is to hand over all the Horcruxes in your hand, otherwise, you will only see her dead body.

Lord Voldemort

It didn't make sense, and Tom considered Ginny's actions suspiciously.A while ago, he did deliberately create the illusion of being extremely favored by Ginny in front of everyone. The purpose was to confuse the main soul and make the main soul think that he had lost his mind, so as to reduce his defense against him and allow him to calmly Make secret arrangements.At the same time, he also used Ginny as a bait to let him find out who the Death Eaters who harbored ulterior motives were, and to clean up those spies as soon as possible.For this reason, he even deliberately went out many times, and imprisoned Ginny alone in the Riddle mansion, waiting for the people who had already surrendered to the main soul to attack Ginny.

However, what he didn't expect was that Ginny was willing to go with Bella so easily, which made him almost miss the opportunity to intercept them.And during the fight, she actually helped Bella and the others, and attacked him together.Perhaps, these could also be explained as Ginny wanted to take this opportunity to escape from him, but the strangest thing was that after leaving the Riddle mansion, she was actually taken by Rudolphs to the main soul.He never believed that Ginny's strength would defeat Rudolphs, so her imprisonment this time was a bit intriguing.

But no matter what Ginny was planning, he wasn't going to give her a chance to implement it. Since she chose to insist against him, he wouldn't let her get what she wanted, let alone the main soul.Thinking of this, he opened his eyes and glanced at the Death Eaters who had been quietly waiting for his order in the hall: "Go and check for me, Ginny Weasley is really in the hands of that traitor, she Is the current situation okay?"

When all the Death Eaters responded and saluted and were about to leave, Tom suddenly called out to Malfoy who was walking at the end: "Lucius, stay here."

Lucius' heart sank suddenly, and he turned around with some guilt: "Yes, master."

Tom stared at him calmly for a long time, and finally said: "As an official of the Ministry of Magic, I remember that you have a good relationship with Walton McNeil, right?"

"It's just a general friendship." Unable to figure out what Tom meant, Lucius replied cautiously.

"Usually enough that you guessed that he was the undercover agent I sent to that traitor? Ordinarily enough that he would tell you about Peter Pedro's Animagus form?" Tom activated the magic pressure and moved towards Lucius. Going forward, he suddenly suppressed this cunning platinum nobleman.

Lucius suddenly knew that Tom knew about all his private little actions, and immediately knelt down in fear: "Master, I was wrong. I shouldn't be curious about things that I shouldn't know."

"You shouldn't tell Bella, who may be a traitor, about these things, to test my attitude and confirm your guess. Don't tell me, you haven't seen Bella's recent suspicious behavior." Tom said in a tone His anger became more obvious, making Lucius almost think that the next second would be a Cruciatus punishment.Unexpectedly, Tom suddenly put away the magic pressure: "However, since you have always been loyal and have not done too much, I will not punish you this time."

Lucius raised his head unexpectedly, and then immediately lowered his head again in fear when he met Tom's gaze.Seeing Lucius' expression, Tom continued with satisfaction: "This time, it's up to you to tell Walton McNeil directly, and ask him to keep an eye on the actions of the traitor and Ginny's situation."

"Does that require him to do anything?" Lucius asked with some uncertainty, "Let him find a chance to rescue Miss Weasley?"

Tom paused for a moment, and finally shook his head: "No, there's no need to do anything, let alone save Ginny."

Lucius raised his head in shock: "Don't save Miss Weasley?" He repeated incredulously, and then saw Tom nodded slowly: "Since she fell into the hands of the traitor, then she The life and death of her is in danger, she can only resign herself to her fate. Let McNeill keep an eye on it at all times, and report back in time if there is any news."

"But, why didn't McNeil find a chance to rescue her?" Lucius asked inexplicably, and after seeing Tom's expression, he immediately lowered his body, "I'm sorry, master, I shouldn't Asked."

"It doesn't matter. In fact, you should have figured out the reason." Tom waved his hand, signaling him not to be nervous, "McNeil is still useful, if he is asked to find a way to save Ginny, his identity will definitely be exposed, and that will affect our plan." Not good."

Hearing Tom's words, as if he didn't care about Ginny's safety at all, Lucius shuddered: "I understand, master, I'll go and inform McNeil about this right away." He did it. With a salute, and with Tom's consent, he almost took his leave in a panic.

After Lucius left, Tom closed his eyes wearily.Asking all the Death Eaters to inquire about Ginny's news can undoubtedly confuse the main soul, making him think that he is really at a loss what to do, which can also make McNeil's mission go more smoothly.And asking Lucius to notify him can also be used to warn him, so that he will not dare to act rashly again.However, the final difficulty is Ginny's life and death.

Thinking of this, his hands gradually tightened. For the first time, he felt a little inexplicable irritability, but he still insisted on using reason to control himself, firmly believing that his choice was the most correct.Based on his understanding of the main soul, he bet that the main soul would not really kill Ginny before getting actual benefits, which also gave him a buffer.

But what if the main soul really exceeded his expectations, really killed Ginny to vent his anger under his refusal?Tom knew it was possible, but he also knew he had no choice.You can't compromise with the main soul, especially for this little girl. He will never mess up for a woman who can't be loyal to him.Therefore, Ginny's life and death can only be determined by God, and what he should choose most is the one that is most beneficial to him.

As for Ginny, she didn't know that Tom had given up on her, or she never expected Tom to rescue her, so she just stayed quietly in the dungeon without taking any action.However, she thought with a wry smile that the environment where she was imprisoned was worse than the last.

Voldemort couldn't help being a little surprised by her excessive cooperation and calmness, but when he knew that Tom had mobilized all the Death Eaters to inquire about Ginny's whereabouts, he thought that Tom was already anxious to rescue Ginny.So, while despising his stupid behavior for a woman, he still sent more people to strengthen the guard on Ginny, and let little Barty and Peter guard the door of the dungeon.

Every time little Barty went in to deliver meals, Ginny always looked at him with a sneer. Until that day, he finally couldn't bear Ginny's mocking expression, and while putting down the plate, he glared at her angrily: "Little girl! , what are you looking at?"

There was a look of calculation in Ginny's eyes, and she looked at him calmly: "I know who you are, Barty Crouch, who has the same name as your father, and pretended to be your father as the referee in the Triwizard Tournament .”

Hearing Ginny's words, little Barty raised his head proudly: "Indeed, but I am different from my father. I am the most loyal servant of the master, and I helped the master catch Harry Potter."

"Harry Potter was only 'once' caught, and he was rescued later?" Ginny said deliberately contemptuously, and was satisfied to see the look of embarrassment on Little Barty's face.So, she added fuel to the flames again: "Besides, as far as I know, you are a complete tragedy, a tragedy that was sent to prison by my own father and saved by my mother at the expense of her own life. "

Little Batty trembled all over: "My father is the tragedy. He got nothing in his life, and he was killed by me in the end. But I am different. I follow the greatest master, and he will give My greatest honor, to reward my loyalty to him, to let everyone respect me."

"No, you haven't defeated your father at all." Ginny shook her head, and said in a pitiful tone, "Your name is inherited from him, and you can get into Hogwarts with him." Identity, even if you kill him, it’s just that he is your father and has no defense against you. Barty Crouch, you will always be just a second Barty Crouch.”

"You are talking nonsense. My father is not as good as me. He is only obsessed with power and has no faith at all. But I am different. I am following my master to create a great cause for the glory of pure blood." Little Barty's tone became more and more serious. In a hurry, I don't know if I want to convince Ginny or myself.

"Starting a business? You are just the most loyal 'servant', 'servant'." Ginny's tone became more and more contemptuous, "As far as I guess, Harry gave Dobby the gills in the second competition, The one who asked him to hand over to Harry should be the Winky you sent. She still followed you and obeyed your every instruction even though she knew you had joined the Death Eaters and even killed your father. The most loyal servant, right?"

After understanding Ginny's hint, Little Barty's face finally distorted, and his expression became more ferocious.But Ginny knew that her goal had been achieved, so she deliberately added another sentence: "In the eyes of your master, are you just like a house elf?"

"No, I'm not. I'm the master's most trusted subordinate, his most capable subordinate." Barty Jr. drew out his wand furiously, "Damn woman, it seems that I won't teach you a lesson."

Finally, it made him lose his mind. Ginny stood up in satisfaction, pulled out her wand, and finally asked provocatively, "Barty Crouch, do you really dare to do it?"

The author has something to say:

You need to give Brother Cruise some strong medicine to make him wake up...

Chapter 79. Ginny's death... He finally admitted that he loved her when she was dead

After hearing Ginny's words, Little Barty roared angrily, and cast a curse at Ginny, obviously really angry with her.After Ginny avoided it calmly, she cast a few locking spells on the door, then turned around, blocked little Barty's attacks one by one, and found a gap to fight back from time to time. , with a leisurely expression on his face, as if mocking his powerlessness.Such an expression stimulated little Barty to become more and more excited, and the spells used became more and more fierce. It was no longer the original intention of just trying to teach her a lesson at the beginning.

After Peter outside the door heard the fierce battle inside, he immediately wanted to push the door in, but found that the door was locked and reinforced with magic. With his low magic power, he couldn't open it at all.So, he could only keep banging on the door and shouting loudly: "Crouch, calm down, she is still useful to the master, you can't hurt her."

Hearing Peter's words, Little Barty hesitated for a moment, while Ginny suddenly laughed: "Yeah, that's indeed a good excuse. I'm still useful to your master, so you didn't hurt me. In fact, you didn't hurt me at all. It’s just that you don’t have the ability.”

Little Barty's offensive, which had been moderated, became violent again after hearing Ginny's ridicule.Under the oppression of Ginny's powerful strength, Barty Jr. obviously felt a little struggling, so some taboo black magic was also displayed without hesitation, deliberately trying to make Ginny admit defeat.However, Ginny still looked at ease, and even laughed and said: "I dare to kill you, because you are a useless thing at all, and your master will not blame me if you die. But, how dare you kill me?" Is it? So, you've already lost." As he spoke, an Avada Kedavra brushed against little Barty's ears, and the thick green light made him startled.

Seeing little Barty's expression, Ginny seemed very happy, and kept threatening him with all kinds of curses, even death curses, and it was worthwhile to pass him by.Little Barty's eyes were red, and he suddenly screamed angrily: "Avada Kedavra!" The thick green light finally shot out from the tip of his staff, and shot straight at Ginny.

Peter outside the door trembled violently when he heard Little Barty's killing curse, followed by Ginny's sharp cry: "Barty Crouch, how dare you..." She The voice stopped abruptly, and then bright red flames sprang out from the dungeon, burning violently and spreading.

Seeing this horrific scene, Peter knew that the matter had become serious and he couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only run outside in fear, screaming all the way: "Master, master, help!"

When Voldemort arrived, the dungeon had already been burned into ruins, and it was clear that Barty Jr. and Ginny had no chance of surviving.His sharp eyes immediately turned to Peter: "Why didn't you stop it and report back in time?"

"Master, I was wrong, but I can't stop them." Peter knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. He didn't expect the incident to become so big. When Barty Jr. was fighting with Ginny, he hoped to hide it. One thing, to keep Voldemort from knowing his negligence.However, he didn't expect that little Barty would use the death curse, and finally made all this irreversible.

Voldemort's hand twitched, obviously wanting to reach for his wand and give Peter the Cruciatus Curse.Seeing this, Peter repeatedly begged for mercy: "Master, I really can't stop them. They cast a locking spell inside, and I can't get in. The last thing I heard was Crouch's death curse and Weasley's last angry Screaming, and then the fire started, and I had no time to stop it."

Walton McNeil, who came with all the Death Eaters, after listening to Peter's words, went to the dungeon that was already completely blackened, checked it carefully, and finally walked in front of Voldemort with a look of disappointment in his eyes. : "Master, it's Fierce Flame, it's indeed the Weasley girl's favorite spell that she's good at. Under Fierce Flame, nothing stays, including—" He paused suddenly After a moment, he swallowed, "The bones of Crouch and Weasley."

Voldemort's scarlet eyes narrowed angrily: "That means, the two of them must be dead?" After seeing McNeill nodding, he tightened his pale hands, "Damn Crouch, he You deserve to die, and you ruined my whole plan." As he spoke, he angrily cast Cruciatus Curse at Peter who was still kneeling beside him, and then left the ruined dungeon amidst his painful wailing.

That night, Tom received a report from McNeill.Looking at the sentence on the parchment "Ginny Weasley accidentally clashed with Barty Crouch, and finally died under his death curse, and his bones were destroyed in Fierce Fire", Tom suddenly felt a sense of irritability .He pressed his chest in a daze, feeling dull and stuffy there, that strange feeling had never appeared in his life, and it made him not understand what it meant.

Ginny was dead, really dead.He couldn't tell what kind of mood he felt when he heard the news, but at least, he wasn't indifferent as he originally thought.After he decided to give up the rescue of Ginny, he thought that the main soul might kill Ginny in a fit of anger in the face of his rejection; he also thought that for this woman who never really gave in to him, even If she was really killed by the main soul, he would laugh at her death indifferently.However, when the news of her death was caught off guard in front of him, he found that he couldn't be indifferent as he thought, and he couldn't be used to death as he thought. The inexplicable emotions disturbed him. Can't even judge the next step.

Standing up staggeringly, he had a crazy desire to destroy, and there was a damned person beside him, the chief culprit who caused Ginny's tragic death-Bellatrix Lestrange.Rushing into the dark dungeon, he lost his usual calmness, raised his hand and hit Bella with a Cruciatus Curse.However, under the extreme pain, Bella looked at his face on the verge of madness, as if seeing the funniest scene, she suddenly laughed loudly: "Did the little girl die? Was she killed by the master?" killed?"

Tom's pupils contracted suddenly, and he didn't say anything, but he increased his magic power and increased the intensity of the Cruciatus Curse he cast on Bella.Bella was writhing on the ground in pain, but there was still a ferocious smile on her face, which made her look even more terrifying: "It seems that she is indeed dead. What a pity, you fell in love with that little girl, but she died Yes. This is your retribution, starting from her, the things you pursued will be lost one by one, and you will not get what you want. "

"What did you say?" Tom finally spoke, with an angry expression full of disbelief, "You destroyed a useful chess piece of mine, how dare you curse me?"

"A pawn? You really only use her as a pawn?" Bella gasped, staring at Tom with resentment, "I can feel your deep hatred from your Cruciatus Curse, and I can deduce from it Show how much you love her. You are in love with her, so she is destined to die, because you dare not admit it, so you will destroy this possibility with your own hands, and you are the most pathetic one. "

Bella was still laughing maniacally, and Tom finally lost his patience.After the dark green light passed, the dungeon returned to tranquility, only the expression on Bella's face was still fixed on the final ridicule, as if mocking his biggest mistake and mistake.Tom gasped for breath, but Bella's last words echoed in his mind over and over again: "You are in love with her, so she is doomed to die, because you dare not admit it, so you will destroy this possibility with your own hands..." That The voice kept repeating, forcing him to have nowhere to hide, unable to deny it.

No, he wouldn't be in love with her, he never believed in such stupid things as feelings.He has no kinship, he doesn't believe in friendship, and he won't get any love. The word "love" was advocated by stupid Dumbledore, he would never allow himself to fall into such ridiculous feelings.

He tried to convince himself, tried to smile ironically at Bella's body, but found that he couldn't do it.Bella's crazy laughter seemed to be still in my ears: "I can feel your deep hatred from your Cruciatus Curse, and I can deduce from it how much you love her." The Cruciatus Curse, the most vicious curse, Only by endowing it with the most evil power can it cause the greatest pain to the opponent.He unconsciously remembered the premise of the successful casting of the Unforgivable Curse, and then recalled the only person who was cast by the curse that he missed - Ginny. The reason for the failure seemed to be the only possibility left, he loved her .

From first acquaintance, to curiosity, to conquest, to desire, he didn't know when he had an inexplicable feeling for her, but he refused to admit the emotion that made him feel uneasy, and subconsciously rejected the emotion he had always felt. Ridiculous feeling of disgust.He was only willing to admit that he wanted to conquer her, and that he wanted to use her, but he couldn't accept that he would fall in love with her, that there would be the birth of the love that he had always abandoned like nothing.Therefore, at the moment when he learned that the main soul imprisoned her, his first reaction was to abandon her, to completely let himself abandon this inexplicable concern, thinking that in this way, he could continue to deceive himself and others to deny the existence of feelings .

So, she died, died under his abandonment, and died under his unwillingness to face her.The hand holding the wand was so hard that the knuckles turned white, and he felt only bouts of coldness.She once loved him, but he used her as a bargaining chip to persecute her. When he finally understood his feelings, there was no possibility of redemption.Slowly leaning against the wall, looking up at the mottled ceiling in the dungeon, he felt a sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart.He could no longer lie to himself, he could finally admit to himself that he loved her when she was dead.

The author has something to say:

In other words, if it ends here, it will be the end of the sadomasochistic be, does anyone agree?

In addition, Marshyer recommended a song, which is said to be very suitable for Ginny and Tom's situation: thelastsongI'mwastingonyou

The translation of the lyrics is as follows:

Glittering gray running through my veins

just a whisper

sudden heartache

I know, I know I have to watch them go

just to end the day

Give up your direction, you're nothing

give up my direction and lose myself

not today

too many crimes to atone for

wither in the sun

How dare you tell me you love me

But you hold me down and scream you want me to die

Baby you know, you know I'd never hurt you like that

You're just beautiful in pain

Give up my direction, I'm nothing

I will find my way

Despite your pointless hatred

then run

hate me if that makes you feel better

I can't hear your scream anymore

you cheated me

but i'm mature now

and i won't take it anymore darling

demanding my response

don't bother with how to break that door

I found my way out

And you'll never be able to hurt me again
