Ginny sat at her desk angrily, her quill almost poking the paper.
You can tell she's really angry. Normally, she would address Cyrus respectfully as "Mr. Riddle."
"Be gentle, don't hurt me. Besides, when did I lie to you?" Cyrus responded immediately.
"Humph! You said the Sorting Ceremony would be dangerous! What happened? It was just a broken hat! Was it going to bite off my head?" Ginny said angrily. What made her most angry was that before the Sorting, she swore to show off her "first-hand intelligence" to other students, but...
"You embarrassed me!"
However, she stopped poking the book and checked it carefully. She was relieved to find that she had not left any traces on the diary. In fact, it is almost impossible to destroy the Horcrux by physical means.
"I never said the sorting ceremony would be dangerous. I reminded you not to worry and that it wouldn't be too dangerous. But as I said, you are safe and sound! What a cause for celebration!" Cyrus said mischievously.
After a long period of loneliness, communicating with Ginny was a great comfort to him - Cyrus was not Voldemort after all.
"Yeah! But the things you said made me feel like I might lose my arms and legs!"
"It seems that one of us has a distorted understanding of the term 'less dangerous'."
"Thank you, that's not dangerous at all! Do you expect that hat on my head can suffocate me?" Ginny asked back.
"Not really - if you're evil by nature, it'll put you in Azkaban, and that's the danger." Cyrus bullshitted.
But Ginny obviously believed it, her eyes widened:
"Are you serious?"
"Of course it is. Doesn't it speak to you in your head? The Sorting Hat can see through people's hearts. People with evil natures should be placed in Azkaban. It is actually the fifth house of Hogwarts, and the magical creature representing it is the Eater of Souls."
"I've never heard of that."
"There are still many secrets about Hogwarts that you don't know! Even Dumbledore can't master all the secrets here. Exploring the castle is a very interesting thing. I remember that the tradition of Gryffindor is night tours," Cyrus tempted.
"It's against school rules! And I don't think either Percy or Hermione would be happy."
"Really? But I think your other two twin brothers might be willing to support you."
Ginny had already told him some details about the Weasley family these days, so Cyrus could tell him these things without any scruples.
"They really want the world to be in chaos."
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Did anything interesting happen on the first day of school? Did you make friends?" Cyrus asked with concern.
"Of course, it was so funny!" Ginny wrote heavily on the paper. It was not hard to tell that what she said was completely ironic. "Harry and Ron were late. They drove all the way from the sky in their dad's car. As a result, they were witnessed by several Muggles and finally broke a Whomping Willow or something - many people thought they would be expelled. Fortunately, they were not!"
“This is really a wonderful experience—”
"I just feel terrible. What if Harry gets expelled? Ron must have instigated this. Dad will probably be in trouble too." Ginny said angrily.
"Do you care about that Harry Potter?" Cyrus asked sharply.
This made the angry Ginny panic all of a sudden, her face turned red, as if her secret was exposed.
"No! I just think Harry...he looks very quiet, not such a reckless person..."
Ginny covered her hot face and wrote this sentence in her diary with one hand. She was just glad that Mr. Riddle couldn't see her, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.
"Of course not!" Ginny quickly denied it, then hesitantly wrote, "At most - at most I just admire him a little. You know, he killed the You-Know-Who, and I grew up hearing stories about him."
"It's really remarkable, so I don't think you need to worry about him. Harry Potter eliminated the You-Know-Who, which can be said to be equivalent to saving the wizarding world. If Dumbledore fired him, he would definitely receive thousands of Howlers the next day. What do you think?"
"You're right." Ginny's mood suddenly improved a lot, but her face was still red.
"I have to go to bed, Mr. Riddle. I have classes tomorrow."
"Sleep? No, I suggest you take a night tour!" Cyrus immediately tempted.
"But……"
"Don't you want to explore the castle?"
"But it doesn't make any difference if you go during the day."
"Of course it's different! If you always follow the rules, you will never see Hogwarts under the silver moonlight at night - not to mention, playing hide-and-seek with the administrator is a very interesting thing! Aren't you tempted at all?"
"Of course I don't!" - "Which way should I go?" Ginny wrote quickly in her diary as she walked.
Even the strong-willed Ginny succumbed to her curiosity.
She was flustered and sneaky, raising her head and looking around every few seconds. Compared to these, the most distressing thing was that she had no idea about the structure of the castle. Even if she wanted to go somewhere, it was still dark.
"Why don't you go to the corridor on the fourth floor? Didn't your brother say that he and Harry Potter fought the You-Know-Who there last year?"
Want to pay homage to the place where the great Harry Potter once fought?
Ginny's eyes lit up and she thought it was a great idea.
"Where is the corridor to the fourth floor?"
"If you were in Gryffindor Tower now, then..."
A map slowly emerged on the diary.
This is a map drawn by Cyrus based on Voldemort's memory. There are almost no secret passages. After all, Voldemort is not interested in those boring things. And there is no need to let Ginny know about some secret rooms.
Ginny took a quick look and immediately closed the diary. She heard that sometimes teachers patrolled at night, and it was possible to run into other students who were out at night. She didn't want anyone to know that she was talking to a book.
"The corridor on the fourth floor—this way!"
Ginny, who was not very experienced in night travel, immediately walked out quickly after determining the direction. She couldn't wait to see the place where Harry fought last year.
However, she did not notice the dark shadow appearing behind her.
The new book is launched, the internal investment has passed, so you can invest with confidence.
Please collect and recommend it. It is really important to me as a young author. I love you.
