Chapter 6 Secrets and the Patronus Charm



"Fred, George?"

Ginny panicked and screamed in fear, but Fred quickly covered her mouth.

"Keep your voice down, Ginny, Filch isn't far away!" George said quickly.

"Why are you here?" Ginny lowered her voice and said in panic. Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her small chest! 'When did they appear next to me? '

'Did they see me talking to the diary?'

These two questions kept echoing in her mind. Ginny felt like a prisoner on the execution platform, waiting for the executioners George and Fred to open their mouths and swing the axe to separate her from the diary!

But neither of them mentioned the diary.

"I'm sorry to scare you." Fred slowly let go of her and said with a smile, "I'll explain it to you later. Now come with us!"

With that, the two of them dragged Ginny out of the medal display room and walked in one direction. As they walked, Ginny heard a sharp voice getting closer and closer.

"It's Filch, the Hogwarts caretaker. He's probably the most annoying person in the whole school." Fred explained in a low voice in her ear, "Oh, and Snape."

"It would be terrible if he caught us. Professor McGonagall would deduct points from us. To be honest, that's nothing. But it would be too boring if we were put in detention and had to write a self-review." George said, "Fortunately, he hasn't caught us since the first year, right Fred."

"That's right!" Fred proudly took Ginny to a stone statue of a witch. At this time, she could hear that the administrator named Filch seemed to be very close, and perhaps he would catch them around the corner!

"So what should we do?" Ginny was not as panicked as before. Fred and George did scare her, but she thought that her communication with the diary had been discovered.

"Of course we have a secret weapon!" Fred proudly pulled out his wand and tapped the one-eyed witch on the head twice, "Separate left and right!"

The next moment, in Ginny's surprised eyes, the stone statue actually split in the middle, revealing a dark secret passage.

“Go in quickly!”

The three men immediately got in, and then the stone statue slowly closed.

"Lumos!"

"Wait here for a while." Neither Fred nor George suggested continuing along the secret passage.

"Where does this secret passage lead to?"

"I can't go anywhere because the road ahead is blocked." Fred lied, pretending to be relaxed.

Although he was glad that his sister wasn't as boring as Percy, and was even better than Ron, it wasn't a good idea to tell her the secret way out of school in her first year.

Fortunately, Ginny's mind was preoccupied with other things, so she didn't doubt them at all.

"How did you find me?" Finally, she asked the question that concerned her most.

"To be honest, we saw you just as you came out of the tower," said George.

"You guys have been following me?" Ginny's eyes widened! If that was the case, wouldn't they have discovered that she was communicating with Mr. Riddle in the diary from time to time?

"Of course not! We're not that bored." Fred denied immediately. "In fact, we were planning to go to the Forbidden Forest, but when we were halfway there, we found that you were almost caught by Filch, so we came to save you, right George!"

"That's right." George nodded with a smile.

"But how did you know Filch and I were here?"

"This is our secret!" Fred and George looked at each other in tacit understanding and laughed at the same time, "For the time being, we don't plan to make this secret public. Even you can't, Ginny."

As she spoke, she subconsciously hugged the diary in her arms tighter.

Fred and George didn't notice her little move, instead they laughed: "Come on Ginny, that's not a secret! Almost everyone in the family knows that you like Harry."

"Except little Ronnie!" George added.

"You're right, except for little Ronnie, he's really a child who never grows up." Fred laughed and shook his head.

Hearing this, Ginny's face immediately turned red.

But unexpectedly, she was not angry, but felt lucky and proud: I'm afraid you will never know what my real secret is! After a while, Fred took out the Marauder's Map when Ginny didn't notice him, glanced at it quickly, and put the map away again.

"Okay, let's go. Filch is on the sixth floor now. Peeves is hanging out with him. He might be causing him trouble." He said gloatingly.

"What? But how did you know that?"

"I've already told you, it's a secret. A secret is - it can't be told to anyone!" George opened the door of the secret passage, and sure enough, there was no one outside. "By the way, this secret passage is also a secret, don't tell anyone. I don't want this to become the Gryffindor common room."

"You two won't tell me your secrets, but you want me to keep them secret for you?"

"Don't forget why we are here—to save you. Otherwise you'll be doomed!"

"You will definitely be fired!"

"Well, I don't want to be ungrateful," Ginny said helplessly.

Then, the three of them returned to the tower together.

The Fat Lady wasn't surprised when she saw them: "Password, kid."

"A honeyeater."

Back in the dormitory, Ginny climbed onto the bed quietly so as not to wake up her roommate. She wanted to talk to Mr. Riddle about the Special Contribution Award and other things that happened tonight, but before she could pick up the pen, she felt sleepy and dizzy. In the end, she could only hurriedly write: Good night - and fell asleep.

"Good night, have a sweet dream, Ginny."

After Cyrus replied, he started studying the spell again.

Although Voldemort was very talented when he was young, he still had too little experience and knowledge, and there were some spells he didn't know.

——The Patronus Charm.

To use this magic successfully, the caster must focus on recalling the happiest memory they can think of. Sadly, Voldemort, who does not understand what "love" is, naturally does not understand what "happiness" is.

Of course, with Voldemort's ability, it makes no difference whether he can cast this spell or not.

But for Cyrus, he still hopes to learn this spell.

The Patronus Charm is useful for defense against the Dark Arts and creatures of darkness, but repelling the Eater of Souls is only a small part of its usefulness.
