Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort

Chapter 19 Dumbledore was led astray by Ginny

"So, you met Dumbledore?"

In the memory space, Cyrus's face didn't look good. He only found out about it the next night. Ginny fell asleep immediately after returning to her dormitory last night.

"Well! Principal Dumbledore mentioned you. Although he didn't mention your name, I know it was you." Ginny said excitedly, but then, Cyrus's words were like pouring water on her. cold water.

"Maybe I've been exposed." Cyrus exhaled deeply, trying to calm down his emotions. He didn't expect that after waiting for so long, he would finally get such a result.

After all, he and Riddle are not the same person, and their attitudes towards Ginny are also different. A little coincidence is enough to make the outcome of the matter very different.

but--

'Maybe there is hope. ’ he thought.

If Dumbledore thought that everything was under his control, he would not be so eager to take action.

Just like Quirrell last year, it is naturally suitable to use it as a training tool for his savior.

‘There’s still room for maneuver! ’

Cyrus forced himself to calm down. In fact, he was not sure what Dumbledore's plan was, but almost twenty hours had passed since Ginny met him last night, and he was still in Ginny's hands unharmed, which meant that something was wrong. Not yet in dire straits.

"Exposed? But I have never told anyone about Mr. Riddle?" Ginny was so startled that she almost lost her grip on the pen and said anxiously.

"It's not your fault, but magic is always hard to guard against. Dumbledore is a master of Legilimency. When he looks into your eyes, he can roughly know what you are thinking." After Cyrus calmed down, Instead, he was in the mood to comfort Ginny.

"Generally speaking, wizards always say that Legilimency is not mind reading, but to an unsuspecting mind, it is actually more terrifying than mind reading."

"Then, what should I do?" Ginny was about to cry.

She didn't want to cause Mr. Riddle to "die" like this because of herself, nor did she want to lose such a close friend.

"Don't worry, if someone really asks you to hand me over, just hide me. I will modify your memory and hide it with the real memory so that no one can find me. ." Cyrus comforted.

This is the last resort.

Once he reaches this point, he doesn't know when it will be until another person opens the diary next time. And the diary was not destroyed, would Voldemort die?

Cyrus and Ginny were preoccupied here. On the other side, Dumbledore was sitting in the office, thinking hard about the small details of his meeting with Ginny Weasley last night. Although it was a bit despicable to say it, he did use Legilimency on a first-year wizard.

He really wanted to know why the other party appeared in that place by such a coincidence.

But the information he got surprised him.

He put his memory into the pensieve and messed with it, and the scene from last night immediately emerged.

He saw himself being aggressive and shamelessly using powerful magic to forcefully enter Ginny's brain and read her thoughts at that moment.

To this end, he also deliberately asked a question to guide the other party to think - "Before you leave, I want to make sure, Miss Weasley, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Ginny Weasley was clearly hiding.

At this moment, her voice kept echoing in her mind: "Draco Malfoy is the heir of Slytherin!"

Draco Malfoy?

Even he found it a bit ridiculous.

If Salazar Slytherin really chose Draco Malfoy as his heir, he was really blind.

It's not that Dumbledore looked down on Draco Malfoy, in fact it was quite the opposite. He believed that Draco was indeed a talent. But the Malfoy family is actually not that qualified as a Slytherin, let alone the successor of Slytherin.

Ambition and honor?

Yes, but not much.

And—he doesn’t have a Parseltongue!

This is a very important point, at least Dumbledore believes that if Slytherin really left any secret room, perhaps only Parselmouth can open the door to the secret room.

But in other words, he couldn't confirm whether there was a secret room or not. Dumbledore knew very well that the murderer fifty years ago was not Hagrid. At that time, he did not suspect that it was Tom Riddle, but as time went by, the truth of many things became more and more obvious.

The murderer fifty years ago was probably Tom. It's just that Dumbledore wasn't sure what method the other party used.

Is it a deliberate obliteration to make Horcruxes? Or is it really like the rumors say that Slytherin's secret room was opened to eliminate those so-called "people who are not worthy of learning magic"?

"Draco Malfoy, it's not impossible. Arthur seemed to be ransacking Malfoy's house during the summer vacation. Maybe Lucius asked him to bring some things from the Voldemort period to the school." Dumbledore guessed .

In fact, he had guessed pretty well. But because of the words in Ginny's mind, his current guess was slightly biased. Moreover, Draco, who was supposed to follow the team back to the dungeon, appeared on the third floor at that time, which was more coincidental than the three Harrys appearing there.

As for why Ginny Weasley appeared in the classroom where Hagrid hid the Acromantula, maybe someone told her that "this is not the Chamber of Secrets."

Fifty years ago, maybe it was his grandfather or grandmother.

"What are the old things from Voldemort's era? The key to the Chamber of Secrets? Or -"

He broke away from his memory, looked at Fox who was on the verge of rebirth, and said happily.

"Hurry up and prepare for rebirth, old man, I may need your help."

If that old thing is what he guessed, then he has finally made progress in something that has been fruitless for decades. Of course, with Tom Riddle's madness, he might have made several such things, but in any case, it would be great if he could destroy one now.

Fawkes lowered his head and pulled out one of his tail feathers, ignoring Dumbledore's words.

"It seems I have to find time to visit my old friend Horace Slughorn. I haven't seen him for a long time since he retired." Dumbledore paced and stood at the window. In front, watching the moonlight shine down.

"But let's wait a little longer. If it is really Draco, I believe Lucius Malfoy will take action."

Ah - I’m so tired from work
