This time, while Hermione, Harry and others were not in the common room, Cassandra used the Polyjuice Potion to transform herself into Hermione, entered the Gryffindor common room, and then went straight to Ginny's dormitory.

At this time, Ginny was also resting in the dormitory, and Cassandra walked in carelessly.

Ginny and Hermione were very familiar with each other. When she saw "Hermione" coming in, Ginny quickly stood up to greet her.

After the two met, Cassandra asked while inspecting Ginny's bedroom:

"Ginny, are you the only one in the dormitory? You have to be careful recently and try not to stay alone in one place. Just now, someone was petrified again. No one knows who did it. It's so abominable!"

Hearing Cassandra's words, Ginny, who had been sitting down, sat up suddenly, her eyes full of panic.

Seeing this, Cassandra looked Ginny up and down and asked:

"Ginny, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly, are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing Cassandra's question, Ginny shook her head in a panic and responded, "No, no, I just... I just haven't been sleeping well recently and I'm a little tired!"

Seeing Ginny's performance, Cassandra was silent for a moment, then decided to take some drastic measures, and continued:

"By the way, Ginny, I heard a rumor that the key to the Chamber of Secrets is a diary. If you have found anything suspicious recently..."

This time, before Cassandra could finish her words, Ginny said with sweat dripping down her face, "I have lost the diary!"

Then, Ginny seemed to come to her senses and quickly continued to cover up, "No, I mean, I accidentally lost my diary, so I've been in such a bad mental state recently, and I'm a little dazed. After all, many things written in the diary are not suitable for other people to see, right?"

Seeing this, Cassandra looked at Ginny carefully. Seeing that Ginny didn't seem to be lying, she smiled and said:

"Of course, I understand. Don't worry, I will keep an eye on your diary for you. If I find it, I will return it to you as soon as possible!"

Afterwards, after the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Cassandra left Ginny's room.

Seeing Cassandra, disguised as "Hermione", leave, Ginny also sighed. Although she was affected by Voldemort's Horcrux, Ginny was not completely ignorant of what she had done before.

So, faced with the sudden loss of her diary, Ginny actually breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Hermione came in again. As soon as she entered the door, Hermione asked:

"Ginny, are you feeling better today?"

Ginny was stunned for a moment, then blurted out without thinking:

"Why are you back so soon?"

Hermione said, "I'm a little worried about you being alone in the dormitory. You know, just now, Colin Creevey... wait a minute, what did you say? I... am back again?"

Ginny, who was already in a bad mental state, was also a little confused at the moment. She always felt that something was wrong. Hearing Hermione's question, Ginny didn't have time to think about it and said: "Yes, didn't you just leave my place? How..."

This time, before Ginny finished her words, Hermione ran out. Seeing this, Ginny was about to follow her, but was stopped by Hermione. Hermione said to Ginny very seriously: "Go back, stay in the dormitory and don't come out!"

Thinking of this, Hermione rushed out as fast as she could.

But as soon as she walked out of the Gryffindor common room, Hermione was a little dumbfounded. She didn't know which direction to chase.

At this moment, a Gryffindor student passed by Hermione, looked at Hermione in front of him, and asked in surprise: "Hey, Hermione, why are you here? Didn't you go over there?"

Hearing what the man said, Hermione had no time to answer and immediately ran in the direction of the man's finger.

After running for a while, Hermione indeed found a person who looked very similar to herself from the back, wearing the Gryffindor house uniform, walking towards the empty corridor.

Seeing this, Hermione's heart was a little nervous, but in the end, Hermione gritted her teeth, took out her wand, and followed quietly.

As the two of them continued to move forward, one in front of the other, their location became more and more remote. When Hermione came to her senses, she found herself in a Hogwarts corridor that she had never been to before.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment around her, Hermione felt more and more uneasy.

Just as Hermione was looking around, hesitating whether to give up the pursuit temporarily and leave here, when she looked up again, she was surprised to find that the student in the Gryffindor house uniform who had been in front of her had disappeared.

At the same time, a voice sounded behind Hermione: "Are you looking for me?"

The sudden voice made Hermione shudder with fear. She stood up straight and trembled all over.

But in the next second, Hermione turned around abruptly, and at the same time, the wand in her hand pointed in the direction where the voice came from: "Faint...!"

But what was incredible to Hermione was that she was very sure that she was the first to chant the spell and to take action, but the opponent's spell came after her and arrived in front of her first: "Expelliarmus!"

There was a "snap" sound and the wand in Hermione's hand slipped out and rolled to the side.

Although Hermione had no wand at this moment, she still turned around and saw the person behind her.

Then, a sense of absurdity surged in Hermione's heart, because the person standing behind her was actually herself.

Seeing "myself" standing behind me was indeed a bit scary. Hermione was obviously frightened. Just when she was about to scream out in fear, she saw that the other party seemed to be pointing the wand at her mouth.

Seeing this, Hermione quickly covered her mouth with both hands, forcing herself not to make any sound.

Seeing Hermione's action, the other party seemed very satisfied and even slowly put down his wand.

Hermione covered her mouth with both hands, and gradually calmed down after a long time. Then, Hermione heard "herself" on the other side say: "Very good adaptability!"

Hermione looked at the "herself" opposite her and followed the procedure: "Who are you?"
