Chapter 185 Ginny's Request for Help

After knowing the last clue, Harry and the other two immediately decided to investigate Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.

However, due to the martial law in the school, many people patrolled everywhere every day. In addition, according to the regulations issued by Dumbledore, the bathroom could only be used with the company of a teacher. In particular, the location of the bathroom was next to the scene of the first attack and was heavily guarded, which undoubtedly added a lot of difficulty to their investigation.

For various reasons, they could not find an opportunity to start for a long time.

A few weeks later, Professor McGonagall announced two pieces of news in the hall.

One is that the final exam will not be cancelled and will be held normally on June 1st.

This news was like a bolt from the blue in the hearts of every student. Because of the Chamber of Secrets incident, everyone was in fear this school year and had no mood to study well.

Even many poor students assumed that they would not have exams, but they did not expect that the reality was so cruel.

Professor McGonagall looked at the students with bitter faces below, and her face darkened. "Under this abnormal situation, the school has not been closed. The purpose is to let you receive education, so it is inevitable to test the knowledge you have learned this year."

"In addition, there is another good news to tell you." Professor McGonagall said excitedly, "The mandrake can be harvested, and the students, ghosts, and Filch's cats who were petrified tonight will return to normal.

Some of them may tell us who attacked them, and we may catch the murderer."

After the voice fell, a strong cheer broke out in the auditorium.

After being tense for so long, the school can finally lift the curfew. It seems that it will be fine as long as it survives tonight.

However, Aaron and others who know the real situation are not so optimistic. It is certainly gratifying to be able to lift the petrification of the victims, but it is needless to think that they only saw the basilisk, and the heir definitely did not appear in their sight.

It is obviously not enough to just know what the murderer looks like, but also to know the murderer's hiding place.

Moreover, all the roosters raised by Hagrid had been killed. Except for the two roosters secretly captured by Aaron, the basilisk had no natural enemies in Hogwarts.

The most important thing was that Dumbledore, who was in charge of Hogwarts, was not there, and the heir of Slytherin had the confidence to overturn the table.

Once the other party was forced into a corner, even if the professors could stop the basilisk, there would definitely be a lot of casualties.

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Aaron. He slowly raised his head and unexpectedly found that the person who came was Ginny Weasley.

"Ginny, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Ginny nodded anxiously, "There is something I want to tell you, and now only you can help me."

"Me?"

Aaron was slightly startled. Although he had lived in the shack for two days, his relationship with this little girl was not that good. At most, they were just ordinary friends.

Besides, Ginny has several brothers to protect her at Hogwarts, one of whom is a prefect of Gryffindor. Even if there is any trouble, there is no need to ask a Slytherin for help!

"This is interesting.

Tell me what it is first, and then I will decide whether to help or not?"

"It's about the Chamber of Secrets." Ginny lowered her voice and kept looking around while speaking. She looked very nervous and tired.

Aaron was no longer sleepy after hearing this. He skillfully took out an orange from Abe's pocket and put it on Ginny's tray.

"Don't be anxious, talk slowly."

"I, I..." Ginny said two words intermittently, and there was a little crystal in her eyes, and there was a crying tone in her voice, "I'm sorry, I don't know if I did those things, but it must be related to me."

"What is it?" Aaron tried to make his tone as gentle as possible, because Ginny's current state obviously couldn't stand the stimulation.

"Diary, Tom Riddle's diary." Ginny said in panic, shaking uncontrollably, "Everything was fine, but everything became weird since I got the diary."

"Okay, don't talk yet." Aaron interrupted her immediately, "You are very scared, maybe you will faint before you finish speaking.

Next, I will ask you questions. If you don't want to answer, you just need to nod or shake your head, understand?"

Ginny took a deep breath and nodded.

"Don't be nervous, be strong.

First, do you know the location of the Chamber of Secrets?"

Ginny shook her head.

"What about the identity of the heir?"

Ginny shook her head again, but this time she held her head in pain, "I don't know, but I think I know.

I even think that the heir of the Chamber of Secrets is me, but I think it can't be me, I don't even know the most basic snake language."

"The Imperius Curse?" Aaron frowned, "Or similar means, there is no doubt that you are controlled and did something you don't even know."

Ginny nodded hurriedly, "Yes, that must be the case."

"Okay! One last question." Aaron looked straight into her eyes and asked softly, "Is Riddle's diary in your hands now?"

Ginny nodded. She did steal it from Harry's dormitory.

Aaron heard this and fell into deep thought.

Riddle's diary, Ginny Weasley and the multiple attacks were tied together by dense lines in his mind.

Half a minute later, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, but his face became particularly solemn.

"I always thought that the heir of Slytherin was the current student, but I didn't expect that the other party was much more perverted than I thought."

"What do you mean?"

"The heir of Slytherin fifty years ago has never left. He has preserved himself in the form of memory and found opportunities to guide others to continue Salazar Slytherin's great cause.

Ginny, that diary is very dangerous. Tom Riddle is very likely to be the murderer behind the scenes."

Hearing this, Ginny's face turned pale instantly.

Before, she just thought that there was something wrong with Riddle's diary, but she didn't expect that the problem was so big that it could even involve the Chamber of Secrets incident fifty years ago.

"Help me." Ginny sobbed and grabbed Aaron's hand, as if she was grabbing the last straw, "Please."

"I know, I will help you, but can you please stop crying first." Aaron said with a wry smile, "In public, I don't know if you will think I have done something to you!"

Ginny burst into laughter and slowly loosened her hands, "What should I do?"

"It's very simple, give me Riddle's diary."

"But..."

"No buts, I know what you want to say.

The diary is difficult to destroy, but it is not impossible to destroy it, as long as you find the right method.

But before that, I need to keep it properly and don't let it fall into the hands of others.

Also, you have to be careful not to open it."

Ginny nodded seriously, "I know, I'll go now."

"Wait, don't rush.

Today's class is not over yet. If you disappear, Professor McGonagall will probably think you are missing.

Give it to me at dinner time! Put it in a bag and don't let others see it. "

"You are still thoughtful."

"Low-key, low-key." Aaron waved his hand embarrassedly, "By the way, I would like to ask, why did you come to me?

Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Harry Potter, aren't they more trustworthy than me, a Slytherin?"

Ginny lowered her head, bit her lip, and hesitated for a long time before she said timidly: "I don't want them to know, especially Harry Potter."

"I see." Aaron suddenly realized and gave Ginny a smile, "Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you."

"Thank you."

Ginny took a deep breath and was about to leave, and at this time Percy suddenly came over.

His eyes stayed on the tear marks at the corners of Ginny's eyes for a few seconds, and then he turned his head to look at Aaron with an angry face, "Gaius, I think I need an explanation."

"Huh? Did you make a mistake?"

"No, Ginny obviously cried, my sister..."

"Percy." Ginny looked at him angrily and said, "You misunderstood, he didn't bully me."

"It's okay, Ginny." Percy patted her shoulder with concern, "My parents wrote to me more than once to ask me to take good care of you.

If you are wronged, tell me at any time. I am still the head of Gryffindor, and I still have this power."

"I say it again, you really misunderstood." Ginny was so anxious that she was about to cry. What if Aaron got angry and didn't help her?

But her performance made Percy more determined in his judgment.

Ginny was definitely bullied, and she was so scared that she didn't even dare to tell the truth.

Can this be tolerated?

His sister was bullied, and he, as a brother, naturally had to stand up.

He straightened his badge as the senior, and said to Aaron with a serious face: "Apologize to my sister."

Aaron looked at Percy in astonishment, his mouth twitching, and millions of horses galloping through his heart.

He didn't know whether Ginny was wronged, but he knew very well that he was wronged.

It was obvious that he was going to take a huge risk to deal with a magic item, but he didn't expect that he would have to endure a wave of psychological attacks first.

"Percy, did you listen to me?

I said it was a misunderstanding, why don't you believe it?"

Seeing Ginny's helpless look, Percy calmed down a little, "Then tell me, why are you crying?"

"I..." Ginny opened her mouth, hesitating, and couldn't say a word.

How could she say this? She couldn't tell Percy about Riddle's diary!

Although she is not the murderer, she is also closely related to this series of attacks. If this gets out, she may be expelled from school.

"Okay, no need to say more." Aaron saw Ginny's embarrassment and stood up directly, "It's just an apology, no big deal."

"No." Ginny kept shaking her head, "You don't have to, you can't, and there is no need to do this."

"But the problem is that I can only do this now, just as a protection for a little girl!" Aaron shrugged helplessly, and then said sorry to Ginny.

"Are you satisfied, Gryffindor prefect?"

"You are sensible, but Slytherin will deduct ten points."

"Enough." Ginny angrily shook off Percy's arm and glared at him fiercely, "I really hate you."

After saying that, she gave Aaron an apologetic look and ran away quickly.
