Chapter 639： smart

Chapter 639 Pretend to be smart

Since the last time she overheard the conversation between Albert and Harry outside the boys' dormitory, Ginny has been worried and restless.

From the conversation between Albert and Harry, it was not difficult for Ginny to hear that Albert had been secretly investigating the attack, and had already figured out what the monster in the secret room of the castle was.

Basilisk?

Although Ginny didn't know what the basilisk was, it was not difficult to conclude from Albert's description that the basilisk was some kind of very terrifying dark creature.

If you meet the eyes of the basilisk, you will probably be petrified. Several petrified students in the school were all attacked by the basilisk.

As for opening the secret room, who is the murderer who caused the attack?

Albert didn't say anything.

Ginny knew that Albert was doubting himself.

Just, is he really the one who opened the secret room?

Ginny didn't know either.

However, she was also doubting herself, especially when she found that she seemed to have lost part of her memory. When Hermione was attacked, Ginny couldn't even remember where she was.

What should I do if I really opened the secret room by myself?

Ginny was worried all the time that Albert would go to the professor to denounce herself.

Will Professor McGonagall believe what Albert said?

Ginny didn't know, and didn't want to know.

Albert is too famous in the school, not to mention, he has very likely found the entrance to the secret room. Proving it with facts is more convincing than a bunch of empty words.

Why did things become like this?

I just went to Hogwarts to study.

Why is it like this!

If Harry knew that she was the murderer who opened the Chamber of Secrets, what would he think of himself?

What will Mom and Dad say?

Will Headmaster Dumbledore kick himself out of the school.

In the end, all she could do was watch everyone graduate from school and she wouldn't be a wizard.

Worst of all, she might be arrested by the Ministry of Magic for this, and thrown into the dreaded Azkaban prison like Hagrid.

Ginny still remembers the change in Dad's face when he talked about Azkaban.

All this was driving the poor girl crazy, and the fear was slowly gnawing at Ginny's mind.

Prompted by loneliness, anxiety and fear, Ginny took out Tom Riddle's diary stolen from Harry from the bottom of the bedside table, and couldn't wait to confide her inner anxiety and fear to Tom.

Unfortunately, Ginny Weasley did this, just right into Tom Riddle's arms.

When Ginny Weasley confides her truth to the diary, Tom Riddle hidden in the diary is also slowly devouring the most secret fears and deepest secrets in Ginny's heart to gradually grow himself.

Tom Riddle is gradually becoming stronger, but Ginny Weasley, who is the holder of the diary, knows nothing about it.

During the conversation with Ginny, Tom Riddle also got a lot of useful information. A Muggle wizard with different talents aroused Tom Riddle's interest.

Albert Anderson.

The smartest student Hogwarts has ever seen?

Tom scoffed at that, remembering being called the brightest student Hogwarts had ever seen.

Albert Anderson.

Just a Muggle wizard.

Although Tom despised Albert in his heart, he had to admit that this Muggle wizard still had something.

The other party actually figured out that the monster in the chamber of secrets was the basilisk, and even directly believed that Ginny Weasley was the real culprit who opened the chamber of secrets.

Not a doubt, but an affirmation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have used magic to shield Ginny and the others from hearing when talking about key points with Harry Potter.

This incident is the best proof!

Tom Riddle saw through with just one look.

Was it because Ginny Weasley showed too many flaws, or was it discovered by the Muggle wizard for other reasons?

"I see, how stupid!"

Tom Riddle thought for a moment, and soon realized why the Muggle wizard did this.

That Muggle wizard actually intends to use himself as a bait to lure himself into the bait?

That's why it was so obvious at the time.

Otherwise, after knowing that someone is eavesdropping, they will definitely use magic to block the conversation between the two without leaving any chance for others to eavesdrop.

Hmph, another smart guy!

Tom Riddle did not deny that the Muggle wizard was a bit capable, but he undoubtedly chose the wrong object of provocation.

If he knew that the target of his provocation was the famous Voldemort, he wondered if he could maintain his current courage and confidence.

Tom Riddle didn't care about Albert's provocation. He had already planned to find a chance to kill him, lest the other party reveal Ginny's affairs and affect the follow-up plan.

As for Gilderoy Lockhart, who played with himself.

Tom Riddle didn't plan to keep Lockhart anymore, especially knowing that Harry Potter had learned a lot about the Chamber of Secrets from that Muggle wizard, so he didn't plan to keep Lockhart.

Of course, Tom didn't intend to let Lockhart die easily. He would give that guy the cruelest punishment to make him understand how stupid it is to offend Voldemort.

As for the famous Harry Potter, with his nosy personality and the information provided by the Muggle wizard, he will definitely be able to find the location of the secret room, and he will have enough time to figure out who the savior is. How to defeat Voldemort.

However, "brainless" Tom still overlooked something.

Can be crowned the smartest student Hogwarts has ever seen, is it just a little clever Muggle wizard?

Tom Riddle didn't take Albert seriously at all, but he ignored one point. Albert didn't need to defeat the basilisk, as long as he escaped the attack of the basilisk and survived, he would be considered a complete victory.

Knowing that the monster in the secret room is a basilisk, dodging the attack is not as difficult as imagined, especially with a lot of preparations.

What's more, Tom Riddle had no idea how long Albert had been preparing for that moment.

Yes, this is a trap, a trap specially prepared by Albert for the heirs of Slytherin, anyone with a little brain can see it.

However, the real trap is not the trap itself, but Tom Riddle's cognitive bias towards Albert...a severely underestimated opponent.

Albert is ready and intends to completely resolve the Chamber of Secrets incident during Easter.

For this reason, Albert even chose the corridor and planned the escape route.

Anyway, the basilisk doesn't need him to deal with it. As long as the matter is exposed, most of the missions on the panel are completed.

As for Tom Riddle's final opponent, whether it will be his deadly enemy Harry Potter or Professor Dumbledore, it has nothing to do with Albert.

Anyway, as long as Albert himself is not the one dealing with the basilisk.

This chapter was rewritten several times.

In the end, I still feel that with Albert's character, Tom should be clearly arranged.
