After a brief thought, Cyrus decided that now was not the right time. The Chamber of Secrets incident had not yet become a big deal, and the victim was only a cat. If he showed Ginny that memory at this time, if she went to confront Hagrid, she would easily expose herself.

But even if you don’t say it, it still requires a little bit of art.

The best way is not to tell everything.

"Really, Mr. Riddle, you know the location of the Chamber of Secrets?" Ginny was overjoyed.

"That's not the case. In fact, a similar thing happened fifty years ago. You must be wondering why I won the Special Contribution Award, but the medal doesn't say why I won the award, right?"

Hearing this, Ginny nodded subconsciously, but she remembered that Mr. Riddle couldn't see, so she wrote in her diary: "Hmm!"

"This is because I gave away the person who opened the secret room. At that time, a poor student had already died at the hands of the monster in the secret room. I discovered the clues and was determined not to protect him. So I reported him to the principal at the time. Because a student died, the principal wanted me to keep the news secret. However, the monster in the secret room has been driven away, and as for the person who opened the secret room - fifty years have passed, maybe he is dead."

Cyrus said half-truthfully.

The last sentence seems to be a lie, but it is actually the truth.

"As for whether the Chamber of Secrets will be opened again? I don't think so. Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets will be opened again and a horrible monster will be released just to deal with a cat? I admit that the cat is indeed annoying enough, but it is not worthy of being treated like this. Maybe it's a prank? I used your body to walk around the castle at night and seemed to see a figure, but I couldn't see it clearly."

"Is that so?" Ginny heard that the person who opened the secret chamber might have died, so she did not continue to ask about the other party's identity. She now believed in Cyrus completely, but she was very interested in the secret chamber.

"Mr. Riddle, can you take me to see the secret room from fifty years ago?"

"Of course." Cyrus marked the location of the secret room where Hagrid had kept Aragog according to his memory.

To be honest, there is no difference between keeping an eight-eyed giant spider and a basilisk in the castle. The danger of these two magical animals is almost the same. If Tom had not killed a person, causing Aragog to be driven away, it would be a matter of time before Hagrid got into trouble.

After getting the answer, Ginny already had a plan in mind.

That night, around twelve o'clock, Ginny sneaked out of the room and planned to take a look at the secret room.

At this time, there was no one else in the common room. She walked carefully and got out from under the portrait of the Fat Lady. When she passed through a classroom on the fifth floor, she suddenly heard several familiar voices. Ginny immediately squatted in the corner of the window.

"What do you think? Should I tell them about the voice I heard?"

"Don't say that," Ron said without hesitation, "It's not a good sign to hear voices that others can't hear, even in the wizarding world."

He was worried that if Harry told this, he might actually be considered an attacker.

Harry heard something in Ron's voice and asked, "You believe me, don't you?"

"Of course I do," said Ron quickly, "but - you have to admit it's bizarre..."

"I know it's bizarre," said Harry. "The whole thing is bizarre. What's with all that writing on the wall? The Chamber of Secrets has been opened... What does that mean?"

"Oh, that reminds me of something," said Ron slowly. "Someone once told me about the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts... Bill, I think..."

"What's a Squib?" asked Harry.

Ginny heard Harry's strange question, and then Ron laughed. In fact, she wanted to laugh too.

Almost every young wizard who has not yet entered school worries whether he is a Squib.

"That's right - not really funny - but in the case of Filch..." said Ron. "A Squib is someone who is born into a wizarding family but has no magical abilities at all. A Squib is the opposite of a Muggle-born, though Squibs are rare. If Filch wanted to learn magic by taking a speed-chant correspondence course, then he must be a Squib. That would explain a lot of things, including why he hates students so much - he's jealous."

Also, from the way they sound, it seems like they won’t be fired?

Ginny breathed a sigh of relief, and then she heard Harry say, "Let's go to bed quickly before Snape comes and finds trouble with us again and frames us."

As for the matter about the secret room, she didn't want to let others know for the time being, at least not until she was sure that what happened tonight was related to the secret room.

"It seems to be here——"

She walked quickly through the corridor, and after a long while, she finally reached the secret room that Cyrus had marked for her. It was indeed hidden, but there was nothing there. Just as "Mr. Riddle" had said, the monster in the secret room had been driven away.

All that was left here was thick dust and some old cobwebs.

Ginny felt a little relieved and a little disappointed.

But she quickly cheered up. Since it was not the monster in the secret room who did it, the most important thing now was to catch the prankster.

——Draco Malfoy! This was Ginny's primary suspect. After what happened during the summer vacation, Ginny had already regarded Draco as the Malfoy kid with evil nature, not to mention that the time he showed up tonight was also strange enough.

She wanted to go back to the dormitory immediately and tell "Mr. Riddle" her guess, but as soon as she turned around, she saw an unexpected figure.

"D--Principal Dumbledore?" Ginny almost froze in her tracks.

"Good evening, Miss Weasley." Dumbledore stood at the corner of the stairs. He was tall, but now he looked even taller. His blue eyes shone like gems in the night.

"Principal, why are you here..." Ginny became nervous. Being caught by the principal for a night out was no joke.

However, Dumbledore obviously misunderstood the reason for Ginny's nervousness. At this moment, he looked directly into Ginny's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her heart. But his expression was still kind.

"I should be asking you this question, Miss Weasley," he said. "After such a horrific attack, and at such a late hour, you should be staying in your Gryffindor dormitories instead of wandering around outside the castle, don't you?"

Ginny quickly lowered her head to avoid Dumbledore's sight.

This won't work.

Dumbledore immediately added: "Of course, I will not punish you for this. I came here because someone wanted to create panic, claiming that the Chamber of Secrets was opened again! Coincidentally, fifty years ago, a student reported another student here and drove a monster out of the school - I have to admit that it was indeed a dangerous monster."

His words forced Ginny to look up in surprise once again.

When she first heard about Riddle's deeds, she immediately wanted to share it with Dumbledore, but soon she remembered that it was a secret between herself and Mr. Riddle, so she swallowed the words back.

Dumbledore saw that she was hesitant to speak, and naturally knew that Ginny might have some secret in her heart.

"Well, you should go back to bed."

"Yes, sir." Ginny nodded and passed by Dumbledore. When she reached the top half of the stairs, she heard Dumbledore's voice coming from behind.

"etc--"

"What's wrong?" Ginny turned her head and her eyes met Dumbledore's.

"Before you leave, I want to make sure, Miss Weasley, is there anything else you want to tell me?" The blue eyes seemed a little aggressive.

A series of things flashed through Ginny's mind, and after a moment, she slowly spoke: "No, sir."

Hearing this, Dumbledore nodded, seemed to be thinking, and then spoke softly: "Well, good night, Miss Weasley. On a day like this, it's best not to wander around at night."

After get off work, after get off work, I secretly write words at work every day. Hehehe
