Halloween is coming, but Harry is in a low mood. He feels that he has agreed to the invitation of Nearly Headless Nick too rashly. He, Ron, and Hermione are going to attend the Deathday party that belongs to ghosts. All the other students happily attended the Halloween banquet. The auditorium was decorated very gorgeously, with fire bats adorning the entire hall, and huge pumpkins grown by Hagrid were carved into lanterns, big enough for three people to sit together. in. It was also rumored that Dumbledore had ordered a skeleton dance troupe to entertain everyone. All these made him regret, and his intuition told him that these would be more interesting than the death day, and in fact it was so.
"Once you say something, it's hard to get it back." Hermione reminded Harry, "You said you were going to the Deathday Party."
Except for Slytherin, the other three houses regard honesty and trustworthiness as virtues, so although he was a little reluctant, Harry still kept his agreement.
Then they saw hundreds of milky white, translucent ghosts floating in the classroom, waltzing to the piercing sound of thirty musical saws, and thousands of candles lit on a chandelier, blooming ominous blu ray.
They decided to go to other places to see. They almost ran into the crying Myrtle, but fortunately Hermione reminded them in time, so they came to the other end of the dungeon. Ron yelled excitedly because he saw a long dining table covered with black velvet, but they both covered their noses as they approached.
Food for ghosts can't be expected to be anything normal, as they can't eat at all, they seem to just put their mouths through what they need and then treat it as if they've eaten it. So Harry and Ron were able to see a lot of rotten meat, dark, charred cakes, and a lot of maggot-filled haggis. They guessed that these foods might have been placed for a long time and were reused. many times.
Then Peeves came to make trouble again, and made Myrtle cry, and then they had a few conversations with Nick, and they couldn't bear the atmosphere here, because they felt that it was too cold here, and Harry even more so. Hungry, Ron's teeth kept chattering.
"I feel something is wrong. I always feel that someone is watching me. I thought it was a ghost just now, but it is definitely not now. There is not a single ghost here." Harry looked around for a few times, trying to find something, But nothing.
"Don't think about it, Harry," said Ron. "It's just an illusion caused by your hunger. Let's go back to the party."
"Probably haven't finished the pudding yet," said Ron hopefully, leading the way up the steps leading to the hall.
That's when Harry heard it.
"..tear you..tear you..kill you.."
It was the same voice again, the cold, murderous voice he had heard in Lockhart's office.
Lockhart always asked him to go to the office to reply to his admirers together, and he had always heard such cold words a few times before, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and his intuition told him that the voice came from The person who was looking at him just now was not alone.
He staggered to a halt, clutching the stone wall, listening intently, looking around, squinting up and down the dimly lit hallway.
"Harry, what are you doing—"
He kept following that voice, and suddenly he heard that voice became darker and darker. Even after hearing only a few words, Harry felt that the owner of that voice had a bloodthirsty desire.
"He's going to kill someone!" Harry suddenly had a feeling of fear and excitement in his heart, he ran around the third floor, Ron and Hermione followed behind panting, and the three of them were non-stop , and finally turned a corner and came to the last empty corridor.
Something was shining on the wall in front of them. They approached slowly, squinting to make out in the dark. Between the two windows, on the wall a foot above the ground, some writing was scribbled, and the emblem shone in the light of the burning torches.
The chamber of secrets was opened.
Those who are enemies of the heir, be vigilant.
"What's that - hanging down there?" said Ron, his voice trembling.
As they approached cautiously, Harry almost slipped: there was a large puddle of water on the ground. Ron and Hermione grabbed him, and they inched closer to the sign, their eyes fixed on the black shadow below. The three of them saw what it was at the same time, and jumped back in fright, splashing a splash of water.
Then they saw Mrs. Norris petrified, the janitor's cat, with its tail hanging from the torch holder, its body stiff as a plank, and its eyes wide open and staring. The three of them stood motionless for several seconds, and then Ron said, "Let's get out of here." "Should we try to revive them—" said Harry, not very fluently. "Listen," said Ron, "we don't want to be found here."
However, it was too late. A muffled din, like distant thunder, told them that the feast had just ended. From the ends of the corridor in which they stood there came the sound of hundreds of feet ascending the stairs, and the cheerful chatter and laughter of people who had eaten their fill. Then, the students crowded into the aisle from both ends.
When the people in front saw the upside-down cat, the buzzing and chattering suddenly disappeared. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood alone in the middle of the corridor, and the students fell silent, crowding forward to see the horrific scene.
Harry's lips were dry, he looked at the still and stiff cat, he didn't know what to say to explain, there were only three of them at the scene, it seemed that any superfluous words were so pale, he also saw the head-on trot Come Filch.
"Three suspects have been ruled out." Malfoy under the illusion spell could only comfort himself in this way. He stood aside and watched everything in front of him coldly. He followed them and experienced a carnival of ghosts before. Originally, he wanted to get to the scene before the three of them, but he overestimated his speed. He had to spend more energy to maintain the spell, and perhaps avoid being spotted by Peeves.
"It's time to go." Thinking this way, he returned to the place where the ghosts gathered. He didn't have the confidence to maintain this magic in front of so many people without being discovered. Dumbledore was not an ordinary student .
"With so many students, the method of elimination is really not a good choice." He couldn't help feeling a little headache, Voldemort's soul fragments were attached to the object, which was a magic item created by the most powerful dark wizard in history, so he had to Deal with it with 120,000 points of energy. From the original performance of Ginny, it can be seen that the diary has a strong power to seduce those who have some problems in their hearts. Voldemort, who was a student, can be said to have insight into people's hearts, and he can easily To gain the trust of almost everyone, he only needs to guide a few times, and it is enough for people to open their hearts and let him do whatever they want.
The first victim was Mrs. Norris, he remembered, so he chose to follow the trio on Halloween, hoping to find some clues, but due to his own negligence and miscalculation of the difficulty of the spell, he missed the first An opportunity to get leads.
"But it's also a good thing that they are all excluded."
Now that the Butterfly Effect has started to play its role, he will not let anyone suspicious go. If you really want to talk about the problems in your heart, the Iron Triangle is actually not small.
Harry, whose parents died when he was a child, was fostered by his uncle's house. He was abused and grew up. After being admitted to Hogwarts under this kind of treatment, he became the "savior" in the mouth of wizards, but But he knew that he was just a very ordinary boy, and his talent for magic was quite satisfactory, maybe a little bit higher? He was under tremendous pressure, and even hated what they were called.
Some children will hate the compliments of their parents and elders from the bottom of their hearts. To them, these are extremely harsh words, because they feel that they cannot deserve these praises, which makes them feel ashamed.
But Harry wanted to prove himself under this sense of shame, not just Quidditch, but he also hoped that he could be worthy of the title of "Savior" in other aspects.
Just imagine, if Riddle in the diary taught him a lot of magic tricks he summed up by himself, making his academics improve by leaps and bounds, maybe those who were bewitched would become the protagonists, and of course it is also possible that his sense of justice in his heart could overwhelm these ** , who can tell
Ron, uh, as the youngest brother, he has to be compared to his older brothers, same problem as Ginny, he also has to use leftover second hand stuff, poverty can easily break a man One of the most important factors, even Harry, who looks poor and white at the beginning, is actually a hidden rich man. He has a large inheritance, and he can buy all the snacks he needs in the car without hesitation. Perhaps in an instant, Ron would be jealous of Harry. Like other boys his age, he also wanted to be watched, and the Mirror of Erised had shown it clearly, but he didn't have the ability to match it, which was enough to make him feel painful.
Just think, the diary only needs to arouse some jealousy and fear in him to make him succeed.
Sometimes people are very fragile, and sometimes they are very tenacious. Most people know how to regulate their emotions, so Harry and Ron are still brave and strong most of the time.
As for Hermione, a wizard of Muggle descent, she should have been full of fear and surprise when she first entered the wizarding world. At the first moment, the former should be more than the latter, but when she found that she was much more than those wizard families, When the child is still strong, the former is not so much, but she is still distressed, because she finds that she can't handle the relationship with her friends well, friends and school rules are always full of contradictions before, and her occasional unintentional Acting will always make people feel proud, and these will always hinder their friendship intentionally or unintentionally.
Of course, due to someone's unintentional mistake, there may be more girls' usual troubles in adolescence.
Thinking of this, Malfoy heaved a sigh of relief. Sometimes he wondered if it would be better for him to be a pure-blood admirer step by step, and then follow the original track to fight against Harry and the others, and then scold Hermione for a mudblood, In this way, the trajectory of history will not deviate. I may have two years of tragedy in the sixth and seventh grades, and then I can live a pampered life after Voldemort's defeat.
Of course, this was just a thought, he laughed at himself, amused by the thoughts in his head just now, his thoughts began to drift away again, and he began to think.
