Chapter 43: Ginny Weasley

　　 "Miss Weasley?" Professor McGonagall couldn't help exclaiming.
　　 Ginny Weasley stood there a little at a loss, her wand in the hands of a house elf next to her.
　　 "What's the matter?" Professor Sprout frowned and asked, "Why would a first-year Gryffindor student try to break into the Hufflepuff common room?"
　　 "I think you should give an explanation, Miss Weasley!" Professor McGonagall said harshly.
　　 Ginny Weasley stammered, "Professor McGonagall...I think... the secret room... maybe I opened it..."
　　 "What?" This time, the eyes of the six teachers focused on her.
　　 "Professor McGonagall..." Ginny burst into tears: "I feel as if I have lost some memories. Many times there are chicken feathers on my robe. I don't know how they got it up..."
"...I don't remember what I did on Halloween, but a cat was killed and my chest was covered with paint... On the Quidditch game, Colin told me that he was going to the hospital to see Harry at night , And then I was attacked, and I don’t remember what I did... The day before yesterday Percy told me that I had a bad face and looked a little abnormal. I think he might suspect me... Then he was also attacked that night. I can’t remember where I was then..."
　　 "I think I am the murderer who attacked all these people, Professor McGonagall!"
　　 The expressions on all the teachers' faces became extremely serious, even Guidro Lockhart.
　　 "Tell us slowly, Ginny...I believe you!" Professor Lockhart came over. His voice was not loud, but it was very reassuring.
"The diary... I found it in a book my mother gave me... I thought someone put it there and forgot... I wrote on it, it can communicate with me, he said his name is " 'Tom Riddle'..." Ginny cried and said:
　　 Professor McGonagall's body trembled slightly when he heard the name "Tom Riddle".
"I originally threw it away and put it in the toilet... Zacharias said he picked it up. I was afraid that my secret would be discovered, so I wanted to sneak into the Hufflepuff common room to steal it... I heard Fred and George talk about how to enter the Hufflepuff common room, so I..."

　　 "What's the matter, Minerva?" Ten minutes later, Professor Albus Dumbledore, the former principal of Hogwarts, returned to his office at Hogwarts. He holds a letter in his hand.
　　 A crimson bird the size of a crane, standing on Dumbledore's shoulder, made him look funny.
　　 "Albus...Miss Weasley told us some useful information about the secret room; after discussing it, we think we should invite you back to deal with this matter!" Professor McGonagall said with a serious face.
　　 "So it is!" Professor Dumbledore smiled and nodded, and then greeted Ginny Weasley, who was standing behind Professor McGonagall with a panic face: "Good afternoon, Miss Weasley!"
　　 Dumbledore looked straight into her eyes. His light blue, soft eyes seemed to be relaxed.
　　 This pair of stares lasted for several minutes.
　　 Finally, Professor Dumbledore turned around.
"Miss Weasley should go to the school hospital immediately!" He said involuntarily: "Presumably the past experience was a painful torture for her... The school will not punish her; many are older than her. Wizards who are more resourceful than her are blinded by Voldemort..."
　　 Professor McGonagall nodded and waved his hand outside.
　　 Madam Pomfrey had already been waiting outside the principal's office; now, she rushed in.
　　 "Come with me to the school hospital, girl... I'll be fine soon!" she said gently.
　　 "As for us, it's time to find the secret room now!" Dumbledore said with a smile, took his strange elder wand from his arms, and carefully began to wipe it with a handkerchief.
　　 "Miss Weasley's memory has been modified!" Professor McGonagall said quickly: "She hardly remembers everything she did..."
"Tom's little trick..." Dumbledore said unhurriedly: "It is indeed troublesome to find the deleted memory without completely destroying Miss Weasley's brain... But he must have left behind. A little clue."
　　 "What is..."
　　 But Dumbledore changed the subject: "What about the diary that Miss Weasley said, she said it was in the Hufflepuff common room?"
"No." Professor McGonagall shook her head. "Pomona found Mr. Smith and got the diary; Professor Snape checked it carefully, and he insisted that the diary is an ordinary Muggle product. Any black magic was cast."
　　 "It's over there!" While speaking, Professor McGonagall pointed to a diary carefully converged by glass on the principal's desk: "Do you want to check it again?"
"No, I believe Severus!" Professor Dumbledore blinked and said with a smile: "Moreover, it looks like the one in Miss Weasley's memory, not the same... Maybe, it's just a What about an interesting coincidence?"
　　 Professor McGonagall nodded.
　　 "Let's go, call Severus, Pomona, and Firius. Let's take a look at the abandoned bathroom between the first floor and the basement of the castle!" Dumbledore suggested.
　　 "Is there any problem over there?"
"Miss Weasley's memories have passed over there many times... This is something that shouldn't have happened to a first-year student in Gryffindor; except for the potions class, she should have difficulty appearing there. !"
　　……
　　 "Professor Dumbledore, look over here!" As soon as I walked into the bathroom, I heard Professor Flitwick's sharp voice.
　　 "Is there anything to find, Philius?"
　　Following the direction Flitwick pointed out~EbookFREE.me~ Dumbledore bent down, and under a pool, he saw a line of text:
　　"I’m Ginny Weasley,
　　 I feel like I opened the secret room,
　　 And something is controlling my thoughts,
　　The entrance to the secret room seems to be on the side of a copper faucet under the pool on the right,
　　 must have a snake-like voice to open it,
help me……"
　　 "Sure enough!" Professor McGonagall's eyes widened suddenly.
　　 Dumbledore was taken aback, and suddenly smiled.
　　 "What's wrong?" Professor Sprout asked puzzledly.
"Interesting, very interesting..." Dumbledore stood up, smiled and shook his head: "From Pomona and Silvanos' discovery of the spider's abnormality, to Miss Weasley's accidental capture, and here again. This line of text... as if someone is instructing us what to do!"
　　 "Albus, you mean this is a trap?" Professor Snape's cold voice sounded from one side.
"It's impossible... Tom wouldn't think of such a stupid trap; he didn't even have the guts to take the initiative to fill it up for me!" Professor Dumbledore said confidently: "Now, in order to open the secret room, we may need a snake-like voice. !"
　　 "Potter..." Snape murmured.
　　 "Yes!" Dumbledore ordered, "Minerva, maybe you should bring Mr. Potter here!"
　　 "Okay, principal!"
　　 Professor McGonagall turned and left. Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout continued to check the line of text on the pool.
　　 "Albus, don't you think this is a coincidence?" Snape asked in a low voice.
　　 "Really?" Dumbledore nodded, "Perhaps it's all such a coincidence, maybe?"
