Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 72: True and false

　　 "Don't mention this name to me!" the boy said gloomily, "That **** mudblood! He dared to hurt the snake king the great Salazar Slytherin left me! And twice in a row!"

　　 "Maca? Hurt the basilisk?" Harry said in surprise.

　　 "I was there for the first time...and Miss Granger." Lockhart said, "Unfortunately, I didn't have time to save her."

　　 "Oh—Professor, you already knew—" Harry's eyes widened.

　　 "Huh! So what?" The boy snorted coldly, "A smelly Mudblood wants to save another Mudblood? It's ridiculous!"

　　 He paused, then sneered again: "What's even more ridiculous is that this mudblood was not saved, and he wanted to save the next... Harry Potter, it's a pity that you didn't see it— —Miss Weasley struggled desperately, crying loudly, and the Mudblood could only lean against the wall, clutching her injured arm, and watched her be taken away by the Snake King——"

　　 "Oh, by the way, he can't see it—because he didn't have the guts to open his eyes and look at it from start to finish—isn't this a good joke?"

　　 Harry clenched his fists and stared at him angrily.

　　 While Ron, who stood by and hugged Ginny, had been hanging his head since just now, looking at Ginny's face and wondering what he was thinking.

　　 "We really blamed Maca..." Harry said angrily, "And all of this, you killed it!"

　　 "Don't say that... Ever since Ginny and I got here, I have been waiting for you. I know you will come. I have many questions waiting for you! Harry Potter."

　　 "What's the problem?" Harry asked sharply, his fists still clenched.

　　"For example," the boy said, with a happy smile on his face, "a baby, without any special magical spells, but how did he defeat the greatest wizard ever? How can you escape safely , Leaving only a scar, but Voldemort's power has been destroyed?"

　　 Now, there is a strange red glow in his hungry wolf-like eyes.

　　 "Why do you care about how I escaped?" Harry said loudly, "What does it have to do with you!"

　　 "Of course! Of course it does! Just because my name is Tom Riddle."

　　 Harry immediately thought of the name in the diary, but he didn't know the key to it.

　　 But before Harry had time to wonder, Riddle gave an explanation directly.

　　 "Voldemort," Riddle said softly, "It's my past, present, and future, Harry Potter...just move the letters and you will understand, in fact—"

　　 "In fact, he is Voldemort, Voldemort when he was sixteen." Lockhart said.

　　 "He is... Voldemort?" Harry couldn't help being surprised.

　　"Do you think I will use the name of my dirty Muggle father for the rest of my life? You know, in my veins, Salazar Slytherin’s own blood flows through his daughter Here it is! Will I still keep the name of that disgusting ordinary Muggle?"

　　" He abandoned me before I was born because he found out that his wife was a witch! No, Harry. I came up with a new name for myself, and I know that one day, when I become the world When I went to the greatest magician, wizards everywhere were afraid to say this name easily!"

　　 Riddle's tone became more and more intense, and his voice became louder.

　　 At this moment, Lockhart took a big step forward abruptly.

　　"The greatest magician?" He looked at Riddle with a weird look, "Do you really think that the person who did this kind of thing would be a great magician?"

　　 Lockhart pointed to the diary at the foot of the Slytherin statue and asked meaningfully.

　　 "You know what that is!"

　　 Hearing the profound meaning of Lockhart's words, he was immediately surprised.

　　 Riddle gave up the original plan immediately, and no longer had the mood to continue talking nonsense with Harry, but decisively turned around and opened his mouth to the Slytherin statue, making a hissing sound—— Only Harry understood what he said.

　　"Speak to me, Slytherin-the greatest of the Big Four of Hogwarts!"

　　 The huge stone face of Slytherin moved, and its mouth opened wider and wider, finally forming a huge black hole.

　　 Something seems to be moving in the mouth of the statue, and it is rustling upwards from the depths of the statue.

　　 "Close your eyes! Go back!" Lockhart exclaimed.

　　 Harry and Ron dragged Ginny back hurriedly, and almost at the same time crashed into the dark chamber wall, their eyes closed tightly.

　　 A behemoth slammed onto the stone ground, and everyone felt the secret room tremble.

　　 They all knew what was going on, and they could feel that the giant snake was unfolding its coiled body from Slytherin's mouth.

　　 Then, Harry heard Riddle's hissing voice.

　　 "Kill him!"

　　 What Riddle didn't expect was that the man in front of him who looked like a soft-hearted man, reacted extremely fast.

　　Although Lockhart also closed his eyes at this time, he seemed to be able to see the surroundings, and pointed his wand at the stone pillar beside him.

　　"Fall to pieces!"

　　 Under the action of the cutting spell, part of the stone pillar fell to the ground and fell into several pieces.

　　 Then, Lockhart waved his magic wand again, and one of the stones quickly turned into a big rooster.

　　 "Damn it!"

　　 Riddle felt bad right away, but because he didn't have a magic wand in his hand, he couldn't make any effective interference at all.

　　 He slammed his hand at Lockhart, and a magical thrust suddenly hit the rooster, but Lockhart waved his magic wand and easily resolved it.

　　 The rooster crowed suddenly, and the effect of the rooster croak was remarkable, and the basilisk immediately strayed around in a panic. For a time, several stone pillars were smashed into pieces, dust was flying everywhere, and the scene was quite chaotic.

　　 Lockhart took this opportunity to quickly ran under the stone statue under the cover of the dust.

　　 On the other side, Riddle obviously planned to do the same, and I don’t know that it is because of the different forms. The vague Riddle is faster than Lockhart!

　　 But when Riddle overtook Lockhart, he didn't notice that Lockhart stopped running.

　　 With a quick and decisive wave of his magic wand, a human-sized black fog skull suddenly rushed out of the tip of the stick, flying forward like a ghost, and fell into Riddle’s blur without any fancy. Behind the figure.

　　 "Ah--"

　　 After withstanding the sudden impact of the black fog skull, Riddle's figure became even more blurred, as if he couldn't control his body, he couldn't help but twisted.

　　 It didn't take long for the figure to split into two phantoms, large and small. The big one went straight to the diary, while the small one drew an arc in the air and landed exactly on Ginny.

After 　　 the large phantom gradually merged into the diary, Lockhart waved his magic wand and summoned the diary back to his own hands.

　　 In fact, he could do this just now, and the act of running over suddenly was meant for Riddle.

　　This series of behaviors was almost completed in a few seconds, caught off guard, and Riddle hardly left any chance to react.

　　After solving Riddle, Lockhart closed his eyes again, and once again covered his head and rushed into the unsettling dust.

　　 After a while, I heard a loud neigh from a corner of the secret room, followed by a heavy landing.

　　 In the opposite corner covered by the dust, Lockhart was standing next to the huge head of the basilisk. His gaze was not on the scales or fangs of the basilisk, he was more concerned about the corner on its head that was not very eye-catching.

　　 That is actually the most precious part of the basilisk!

　　 According to legend, Salazar Slytherin once used it as the core of his wand, and its power was quite amazing.

　　 "Come out! What to do next, I think you should understand." Lockhart—or, the appearance of Lockhart's Maca, said.

　　 "Of course! There is nothing easier than this!"

　　 Following the voice, a figure suddenly appeared not far away—that's the real Lockhart himself~IndoMTL.com~He handed over a suitcase in his hand.

　　 "Leave them with you, let me take care of it here."

　　 "Of course, happy cooperation, Mr. McLean."

　　……

　　 When the real Lockhart hurried to Harry and the others, a soft moan just sounded faintly—Ginny was already awake.

　　 She looked blankly to the left and right, then looked at Ron, who had been holding herself, and finally fell on Harry who was a little embarrassed.

　　 Immediately, her tears flowed down.

　　"Oh—Harry, I wanted to tell you during breakfast, but in front of Percy, I didn’t... I can’t say it was me, Harry, but I... I swear , Not intentionally, it was Riddle who forced me, he controlled me! Oh—where is Riddle...where? I just remember him coming out of the diary in the end—"

　　 "Don't worry, it's okay! I've killed them! Look—" Lockhart said with a cheerful look, pointing to the huge corpse deep in the secret room.

　　 But Ginny didn't seem to feel much at ease because of this.

　　 "I'll be fired!" When Ron helped her dangling to her feet without a word, Ginny cried and said, "I've been hoping since than... Bill came When I came to Hogwarts to study, now I have to leave, what will Mom and Dad... say?"

　　 At the urging of Lockhart, they passed through the dark, empty, echoing room and returned to the tunnel. But they didn't notice that the stone gate behind them was not closed because of their departure.

　　 Of course, even if they noticed it, they would never think of it—there is actually someone who is dismantling the basilisk's body at this moment!
