"Ginny won't be discovered, will she?"

He didn't know when Tom Riddle in the original book started communicating with Ginny Weasley, but he believed that as long as Ginny started writing any word in the diary, Tom Riddle would not give up the opportunity to communicate with her.

Therefore, since Tom Riddle in the original book was not discovered, then he should not be exposed so soon. As for why the other party suddenly closed the book and disappeared, there might be other reasons, and now he can only wait.

Since Cyrus traveled into the diary, he has been waiting for this opportunity. In order to be resurrected, he can be more patient. In fact, he made two plans at the beginning, depending on who opened the diary.

If it was Lucius Malfoy who opened the diary, he would directly ask him to find a few dark wizards and use their vitality to revive. But now it seems that when Voldemort gave the diary to Malfoy, he only told him that the diary could open the Chamber of Secrets, but did not tell him about the Horcrux.

Now, Cyrus can only continue to follow Tom Riddle's original resurrection plan - absorb the life of the little wizard, and then use it to influence reality and finally achieve resurrection! Of course, he is not Tom Riddle, so the duel with Harry in the Chamber of Secrets can be completely omitted. Instead, he can take advantage of this gap and slip away before Dumbledore is recalled to school by the school directors.

Overall, this was a good plan, and importantly, no one died in the process, even Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris, was alive and well in the end. Except for the roosters that Ginny strangled to death, of course.

In this regard, Cyrus could only say, I'm sorry, Kun Kun.

Of course, this plan is indeed dangerous, and the biggest danger is naturally Dumbledore. But apart from this, Cyrus has no better way. He doesn't have legs. If he is not taken to Hogwarts by Ginny, he has nowhere else to go. What's more, those adult wizards outside are not as easy to deceive as those idiots in Hogwarts. By then, as long as he has a physical body, it will not be difficult to leave Hogwarts with the powerful basilisk, and after leaving Hogwarts, the safety factor will be greatly enhanced. Even if Dumbledore knew that it was him who was behind the incident, he might not be able to find his shadow.

As for confessing to Dumbledore, Cyrus rejected the idea as soon as he thought of it.

Dumbledore would never trust a man with Tom Riddle's face. He would only think that Voldemort was trying to play tricks on him, especially after the failure to steal the Philosopher's Stone last school year. Maybe he was planning something else. - Ginny walked down the stairs quickly and saw Harry chatting and laughing with Ron at the dining table. She immediately blushed and lowered her head, pretending to be a lady and sitting quietly on the chair.

The other members of the Weasley family were not surprised by this. Ginny had been like this since Fred and George secretly drove the magic car to take Harry home. Harry was not familiar with Ginny. He just thought that Ron's little sister had a strange personality and didn't like to talk much.

Harry simply greeted her and immediately focused on the food on the table. At the Burrow, his food was much better than at the Dursleys'. He ate very well at almost every meal, and he couldn't help but worry whether he would gain several pounds when school started. Maybe the Quidditch team would refuse to let him continue to be a seeker because of his increased size?

However, these days he played family Quidditch with several other members of the Weasley family from time to time, and it was obvious that his skills had not deteriorated, which made Harry relax a lot.

After dinner, Ginny walked back to her room quickly and locked the door from the inside to make sure no one could come in. Then she walked to the desk and carefully placed her hand on the diary. She hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now she realized that the book looked quite old. The black cover was a little faded, but it was very smooth. Although it was old, it was not torn at all.

There was a date and some other name printed on the cover, which looked like a publishing house or something.

“Is this a diary from fifty years ago?”

Fifty years is a very long time, especially since the owner of the book has gone through such a horrific era.

Perhaps this Mr. Tom Riddle is dead? Ginny couldn't help but wonder.

She continued to open the book. The previous sentence that she had no time to read had disappeared. She waited for a moment, but no letters appeared in the book.

Maybe he won't know what's happening outside the book.

Thinking this way, Ginny felt less worried about the diary. At least from now on, it didn't seem to be harmful.

Inside the diary, Cyrus waited anxiously for Ginny to respond to him again. He could not do anything now. His heart felt like being gently scratched by a furry kitten's claws. All those mysterious spells, profound potions and wonderful transformations in the past could not keep his attention.

It was as if he was a husband and father anxiously waiting for his wife and child in the delivery room corridor.

Now, the "child" he had been waiting for was finally born.

"Hello Mr. Riddle, are you still there? My mother came over just now, and I didn't know whether I should tell her about you."

Cyrus's excited heart calmed down in an instant. It was obvious that this was the most critical moment. Would he gain Ginny's trust so that his plan could continue, or would his trick be discovered and he would be destroyed?

'Just saying no might arouse suspicion, which would only backfire.'

He didn't dare to think too long, and gave a response after a moment:

"Of course you can. In fact, you should do so. Any wizard should be wary of magical items unless you are really sure that it is trustworthy. To be honest, I thought you had checked it in advance before communicating with me. Fortunately, you got my diary. If it was "Wizard's Sonnet", you would be in danger."

"You are right, Mr. Riddle. I don't want to be limited to limericks from now on. Of course, I think Mr. Riddle can be trusted."

Seeing this response, Ginny immediately chuckled, she remembered that she had read Harry Potter's name before to verify whether she was cursed. But it was precisely because of this that it seemed that this diary was not one of those evil magic props.

It cares about me! Ginny's eyes sparkled.

"Of course I wouldn't do something as cruel as those dark wizards. In fact, I was one of the best students at Hogwarts. I was a class monitor and later served as the president of the student union. During my time at school, I also won the award for special contribution to the school. I think the medal is still in the trophy display room until now!" Cyrus hinted to Ginny that he was trustworthy while changing the subject.

"Really? You sound just like Percy," Ginny replied in surprise, "but he hasn't become the head student yet, nor has he won any special contribution awards."

"Who's Percy?"

"He's my brother. He was Gryffindor's prefect last year. He also got twelve OWL certificates, but he's a bit boring."

By this time Ginny had almost come to believe that the diary was harmless.

"I don't think I need to tell my mother about you, what do you think?"

"Just this once..." Cyrus suppressed his inner joy and said earnestly, "Sometimes it's fun to have a little secret of your own."

The new book is launched, the internal investment has passed, please feel free to invest. Please collect and read it, this is really important to me as a little author, o(╥﹏╥)o.
