Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"Don't mention this name to me!" the boy said gloomily, "that damn 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? Ridiculous!"

He paused, and then sneered: "What's even more ridiculous is that this Mudblood was not saved, but he wanted to save another... Harry Potter, it's a shame you didn't see it-Wes Miss Lai 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 King Snake—"

"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 it a good joke?

Harry clenched his fists and stared at him angrily.

Ron, who was standing by and holding 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 you are responsible for all this!"

"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 could you escape safely, leaving only The next scar, and Voldemort's power has been destroyed?"

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

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

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

Harry immediately thought of the name in the diary, but he had no idea about the key.

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's... Voldemort?" Harry couldn't help being taken aback.

"Do you think that I want to use the name of my dirty Muggle father for the rest of my life? You know, in my veins, the blood of Salazar Slytherin himself was passed down to me through his daughter ! Would I still keep that disgusting ordinary Muggle name?"

"He abandoned me before I was born because he discovered that his wife is a witch! No, Harry. I came up with a new name for myself, and I know that one day, when I become the greatest in the world Wizards from all over the world dare not 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!"

I heard Lockhart’s words profoundly,

Riddle immediately gave up his original plan and no longer had the mood to continue talking nonsense with Harry. Instead, he turned decisively and opened his mouth at the Slytherin statue, making a hissing sound—only Harry Understand 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 seemed to be moving in the mouth of the statue, and it was rustling up from the depths of the statue.

"Close your eyes! Go back!" Lockhart shouted loudly.

Harry and Ron dragged Ginny back in a hurry, and almost at the same time slammed into the dark wall of the chamber, 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 could feel that the giant snake was unfolding its coiled body from Slytherin's mouth.

Then Harry heard Riddle's hissing voice.

"Kill him!"

But 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.

"Torn apart!"

Under the action of the cutting spell, a part of the stone pillar fell to the ground with a smash, falling into several pieces.

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

"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.

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 cried suddenly, the effect of this cock crow was remarkable, and the basilisk immediately strayed around in a panic.For a time, several stone pillars were cracked, and 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 hand, 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 surpassed Lockhart all of a sudden, 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 behind Riddle's fuzzy figure without any tricks. .

"what--"

After withstanding the sudden impact of the black mist 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 quickly split into two phantoms.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 group of phantoms 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 actions 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 rushed into the unsettled dust again with his head covered.

After a while, I heard a huge neigh from a corner of the secret room, and then there was a heavy landing sound.

In the opposite corner covered by dust, Lockhart was standing beside the huge head of the basilisk.His eyes were not on the scales or fangs of the basilisk. He was more concerned about the corners on its head that were 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 amazing.

"Come out! What to do next, I think you should understand." Lockhart - or, in other words, 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 was the real Lockhart himself.He passed a suitcase in his hand.

"Leave them with you, let me handle it here."

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

...

When the real Lockhart hurried to Harry and them, a soft moan just sounded faintly—Ginny had already woke up.

She looked blankly to the left and right, then 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 Percy’s presence, I didn’t... can’t say I did it, Harry, but I... I swear, not intentionally Yes, Riddle 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! You see—" 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.

"I'll be fired!" Ginny cried and said when Ron helped her to stand up and swayed without a word, "I have been looking forward to Huo since... Gewarts came to study, and 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 did not 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 that there is still someone who is dismantling the body of the basilisk at this moment!
