Just then, Harry's voice sounded behind Ron.
Ron said without turning his head:
"Nothing, Ginny left something in the library and needs to go get it back. I'm a little worried about her. You guys go back first, I'll go get the things with her and I'll be back soon!"
Harry didn't take Ron's words too seriously, but just reminded him:
"Then you better hurry up, not to mention curfew is coming soon, Hogwarts is not very safe at night now!"
Ron nodded in agreement, then quickly walked out of the Gryffindor common room.
As soon as he went out, Ron saw Ginny's back, and she quickly disappeared around the corner of the corridor. Looking at the direction where Ginny disappeared, Ron said softly:
"Ginny?! You never call me brother!"
Thinking of this, Ron frowned, then followed carefully and quickly.
Cassandra took Ginny's notebook and quickly found Wentworth who had been waiting outside. When handing the notebook to Wentworth, Cassandra emphasized: "Wentworth, there is something strange about this notebook! As soon as I took it in my hand, it was as if a voice in my heart told me that as long as I opened it, I could get everything I wanted!"
Hearing Cassandra's words, Wentworth couldn't help but frown and said:
"It's a good thing you didn't open it. This notebook is actually one of Voldemort's Horcruxes."
Hearing Wentworth's words, Cassandra was a little confused and muttered:
"Horcrux? I seem to have heard this name somewhere before!"
After Wentworth explained the Horcruxes to Cassandra, he finally said:
"Don't ever try something as evil as a Horcrux. Even if you succeed, it will cost you dearly!"
Hearing Wentworth's warning, Cassandra sneered and said, "Wentworth, I thought you had stopped talking about evil and justice a long time ago. Only children can distinguish between good and evil. We only look at the pros and cons!"
Looking at the diary that had been transformed into a Horcrux in his hand, which was full of confidence and even somewhat interested, Wentworth's heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
So, Wentworth quickly said, "Cassandra, I advise you to give up this idea. To create a Horcrux, you need to give up a part of your soul, which is an extremely painful thing!"
Cassandra shook her head and said:
"Wentworth, you underestimate me! I am never afraid of pain. How can I achieve my ambitions without paying a price?!"
Hearing Cassandra's words, Wentworth looked at Cassandra in surprise, then looked at the diary in his hand, and understood something in his heart.
It seems that in the short time that Cassandra has been exposed to the diary, Cassandra has been influenced by the diary. You know, although Cassandra has always been ambitious, she is not the kind of person who would show off her ambition wantonly.
Wentworth was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "It will disfigure you!"
As soon as Wentworth finished speaking, the excitement on Cassandra's face suddenly turned into astonishment. She looked at Wentworth in disbelief and repeated:
"Disfigured...disfigured?!"
Wentworth nodded and added:
Hearing Wentworth's words, Cassandra took a breath of cold air and looked at the notebook in Wentworth's hand with disgust in her eyes. She couldn't help but say:
"This price is a bit too heavy!"
Wentworth didn't know whether it was because he took the diary away from Cassandra that Cassandra gradually regained her sanity, or whether it was really his words that worked.
Seeing the eagerness in Cassandra's eyes quickly disappear, Wentworth finally felt relieved and sent Cassandra away.
Then, Wentworth took the diary and walked towards the Room of Requirement.
But what neither Wentworth nor Cassandra noticed was that there was another person following behind Wentworth, and it was Ron.
Ron watched as "Ginny" handed a thick notebook to Wentworth. The two talked about something else, and after a long time, "Ginny" left.
But Ron did not keep up with "Ginny", but instead kept up with Wentworth, because Ron, as a brother, felt mixed emotions when he saw his sister delivering notebooks to boys late at night.
In particular, Ron knew that his sister had always had a crush on his good brother Harry. Ron was also very curious about what made his sister change so quickly?
Wentworth walked quickly towards the Room of Requirement, then opened the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered the Room of Requirement, Wentworth casually placed the diary in his hand on the table, then stared at the diary on the table, and the room fell into silence.
After a long while, Wentworth suddenly sneered, and then said carelessly: "Why don't you try to influence me? I'm standing here, and I even held you in my hand just now, why don't you react at all?"
If someone saw this scene at the scene, they would definitely feel creepy.
On a quiet night, in an empty room, Wentworth was alone, muttering to himself in front of a diary.
Seeing that no one answered, Wentworth spoke again and said a person's name: "Tom Riddle! Answer my question!"
"Or should I call you by your future name, Voldemort?!"
A moment later, a figure suddenly walked out from the darkness. The man had a handsome face and was wearing a dark green Slytherin robe.
He walked slowly to Wentworth and said, "Just call me Voldemort! I admit that dirty name with the blood of the Mudblood!"
Hearing the other party's words, Wentworth spread his hands without comment and said, "Okay, Tom, now can you tell me why you didn't try to influence me?!"
Young Tom Riddle took a long breath and did not bother to argue with Wentworth about the name anymore. Instead, he answered:
"It's very simple, because I... can't see what you want in your heart! Everyone has desires in their hearts, just like the Slytherin who gave me to you just now. Her ambition is obvious, just like a candlelight in the dark, but you, I can't see anything..."
Wentworth nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said:
"It's okay. It's not shameful. Before I entered Hogwarts, I specialized in Occlumency, the kind that even Dumbledore couldn't see through..."
