Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 638: Be smart
Ginny has been apprehensive and uneasy since the last time she overheard a conversation between Albert and Harry outside the boys' dormitory.
From the conversation between Albert and Harry, it's not hard for Ginny to hear that Albert has been secretly investigating the attack, and has figured out what the monster in the castle's secret room is.
The Basilisk?
Although Ginny doesn't know what a basilisk is, it's not hard to deduce from Albert's words that a basilisk is some very terrifying dark creature.
If you meet the eyes of the basilisk, it is likely to be petrified. Several students in the school who were petrified were attacked by the basilisk.
As for opening the secret room, who is the murderer of the attack?
Albert didn't say anything.
Ginny knew Albert was doubting herself.
Just, is the person who opened the secret room really him?
Ginny doesn't know either.
She's also doubting herself, though, especially when she finds out that she seems to have lost some of her memory, and Ginny couldn't even remember where she was when Hermione was attacked.
What should I do if I really opened the secret room?
Ginny is constantly worried that Albert will report herself to the professor.
Would Professor McGonagall believe Albert?
Ginny doesn't know and doesn't want to know.
Albert is too famous at school, not to mention that he has most likely found the entrance to the secret room, and it is more persuasive to prove it with facts than to say a bunch of empty words.
Why did things turn out like this
I just went to Hogwarts to study.
Why is this happening!
What would Harry think of himself if he knew she was the murderer who opened the Chamber of Secrets
What will my parents say?
Will Headmaster Dumbledore kick her out of the school.
In the end, all she could do was watch everyone graduate from school, and she couldn't become a wizard.
Worst of all, she could also be arrested by the Ministry of Magic for this, and put in the dreaded Azkaban prison like Hagrid.
Ginny still remembers the change in expression on Dad's face as he talked about Azkaban.
All of this is driving the poor girl crazy, and fear is slowly eating into Ginny's heart.
Prompted by loneliness, anxiety, and fear, Ginny took out Tom Riddle's diary, stolen from Harry, from the bottom of the bedside table, and couldn't wait to tell Tom about her unease and fear.
Unfortunately, Ginny Weasley did this just in time for Tom Riddle.
While Ginny Weasley confided her truth to the diary, Tom Riddle, who was hiding in the diary, was slowly devouring Ginny's deepest fears and deepest secrets. Grow yourself.
Tom Riddle is growing stronger than Ginny Weasley, the diary holder, knows nothing about it.
In the conversation with Ginny, Tom Riddle also got a lot of useful information, and a Muggle wizard with different talents attracted Tom Riddle's interest.
Albert Anderson.
The brightest student ever at Hogwarts
Tom scoffs at this, remembering that he was once called the brightest student Hogwarts ever had.
Albert Anderson.
Just a Muggle wizard.
Although Tom is reluctant to admit it, Albert does have something.
The Muggle wizard actually figured out that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets was a basilisk, and even directly believed that Ginny Weasley was the real murderer who opened the Chamber of Secrets.
Not doubt, but affirmation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't use magic to block the hearing of Ginny and several others when talking to Harry Potter about key points.
This is the best proof!
Tom Riddle saw through it with just one look.
Ginny Weasley showed too many flaws, or was it discovered by the Muggle wizard for other reasons
"It's so stupid!"
Tom Riddle thought for a moment, and soon realized why the Muggle wizard did it.
The muggle wizard actually planned to use himself as a bait to lure himself into the bait
That's why it was so obvious at the time.
Otherwise, if you know that someone is eavesdropping, you will definitely use magic to block the conversation between the two, leaving no chance for others to eavesdrop.
Hey, another smart-ass guy!
Tom Riddle found this answer ridiculous.
A mere Muggle wizard dares to provoke the famous Voldemort
It is estimated that only a reckless Gryffindor would dare to do such a stupid thing.
Sure enough, Gryffindor is Gryffindor.
It really disappointed him.
If that's the case, then die!
Faced with Albert's provocation, Tom Riddle intends to find a chance to kill him, lest he reveal Ginny's story.
As for Gilderoy Lockhart, who played himself.
Tom Riddle doesn't plan to keep it either, especially knowing that Harry Potter has learned a lot about the Chamber of Secrets from the Muggle wizard, and he doesn't plan to keep Lockhart.
Of course, Tom didn't intend to let Lockhart die easily, he would give the guy the most brutal punishment, and let him understand how stupid it was to offend Voldemort.
As for the famous Harry Potter~IndoMTL.com~, with his nosy character, plus the information provided by Muggle wizards, he will definitely be able to find the location of the secret room, and there will be enough time to find out. How on earth did this savior defeat Voldemort.
However, the brainless Tom missed something.
To be crowned the smartest student ever at Hogwarts, would it be just a slightly clever Muggle wizard?
Tom Riddle didn't take Albert seriously at all, but he ignored that Albert didn't need to defeat the basilisk, as long as he survived the attack of the basilisk, it was a big victory.
Knowing that the chamber monster is a basilisk, dodging an attack is not as difficult as you might imagine, especially if you have a lot of preparation.
What's more, Tom Riddle had no idea how long Albert had been preparing for that moment.
Yes, it's a trap, a trap for the heirs of Slytherin, one that anyone with a little brain can see.
The real trap is not the trap itself, but Tom Riddle's cognitive bias towards Albert... a severely underrated opponent.
Albert has made preparations to completely resolve the Chamber of Secrets incident over Easter.
For this reason, Albert even chose a corridor and planned an escape route.
Anyway, the basilisk doesn't need him to deal with, as long as the matter is exposed, the panel task is completed.
It's none of Albert's business whether Tom's ultimate opponent will be his nemesis Harry Potter or Professor Dumbledore.
Anyway, the one who only deals with the basilisk is not Albert himself.
