Professor McGonagall asked subconsciously after seeing Dumbledore.
"I just came downstairs to get a cup of hot chocolate. What happened here?" Dumbledore asked. He noticed the change in the expression on Professor McGonagall's face at a glance.
"I heard a strange sound... By the way, I just found Mr. Creevey. He is most likely... petrified." While talking to Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall raised her head and looked towards the end of the corridor.
, there seems to be something over there.
"What did you find?" Dumbledore followed Professor McGonagall's gaze.
"I think that sound just now... was most likely made by the guy who attacked Mr. Creevey and Argus's cat." Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment and expressed his opinion on the matter, "That sound was not
The sound of walking was like the sound of something dragging on the ground."
"Go over and have a look..."
Dumbledore pulled out his wand and walked forward quickly, followed immediately by Professor McGonagall. When they walked through the corridor and stood at the corner, there was dead silence and no strange sounds.
"Hidden?"
Professor McGonagall listened carefully and lowered her voice and said, "But how did he do it? Is it a secret passage?"
"Okay, calm down Minerva." Dumbledore looked at the deep darkness at the end of the corridor and said calmly, "Since the attacker has run away, I think we'd better send Mr. Creevey to school first.
Hospital, where is he?"
"On the stairs over there."
Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and followed Dumbledore towards the stairs. The two soon found the petrified boy.
Dumbledore knelt down and checked the boy's condition. After discovering that he was only petrified, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. "He was petrified. We sent him to the school hospital."
As he spoke, Dumbledore stretched out his hands to lift Colin's shoulders, and Professor McGonagall also cooperated in lifting Colin's feet. The two of them, one after the other, slowly lifted Colin's body up the stairs towards the distance.
I passed the school hospital not far from here.
On the other side of the castle, Tom Riddle has successfully recalled the basilisk.
The appearance of Professor McGonagall was a bit unexpected.
Fortunately, the other party didn't chase me right away, otherwise something would really have happened.
After all, as the Professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall's ability should not be underestimated. Once the Basilisk fails to kill it at the first time or is petrified, it will trigger a series of chain problems.
The aftermath of the battle is very likely to wake up all the students in the school? What’s more, Dumbledore is nearby.
Tom Riddle doesn't want to be exposed just yet.
However, the situation is going smoothly.
Did the basilisk return to the secret room? Did the two men chase after it? It was already too late.
Only Parseltongue can open the secret chamber.
After Dumbledore and McGonagall lost the basilisk, they immediately gave up looking for him and went to the school hospital together.
Tom Riddle has controlled Ginny Weasley towards the Room of Requirement? Where does he plan to let Ginny Weasley stay for the night?
After all? Returning to the Gryffindor common room in the middle of the night? No matter how you look at it, it looks suspicious, and the portrait on the doorkeeper will definitely raise suspicion.
As for staying away all night?
Tom had already made preparations. Before leaving, he cast a spell on several of Ginny Weasley's roommates to let them sleep until dawn? He was not worried about waking up in the middle of the night and finding that Ginny was not in the dormitory.
After double-checking that Dumbledore and McGonagall had gone to the campus hospital, Tom Riddle had reached the eighth floor through the secret passage and was standing in front of the Room of Requirement.
"Dumbledore is still as annoying as ever."
Tom stared at Dumbledore's footprints on the map, and the expression on his face became more and more ferocious. "But, you can't stop me? You couldn't do it fifty years ago, and you can't do it now."
After saying that, Tom closed the diary and prepared to enter the Room of Requirement, when he suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him.
He suddenly turned his head and looked around, but found no one else. The silence and darkness were thick and scary.
Tom opened the Room of Requirement and when he opened the door and was about to go in, he suddenly noticed a magical light shining behind him.
Before Tom could react, a magic hit Ginny Weasley from behind, causing her to stagger forward two steps and fall to the ground.
Who on earth attacked me?
Tom obviously used the Human Trace Charm to make sure there was no one else around.
How did the other party hide it...
Even though Tom tried his best to resist the coma spell, he still lost control of Ginny Weasley's body, and he didn't know who attacked him until the end.
After Ginny Weasley was knocked down by the coma spell, Albert emerged from the void without warning, walked into the Room of Requirement, and closed the door.
"The situation went smoother than expected."
Albert raised his foot and pushed the wand away from Ginny Weasley's hand, and took out the box that Nico Flamel had sent to him from the lizard skin bag. He began to put on dragon skin gloves, and then took the box from Ginny's hand.
Admiral Tom Riddle's diary was placed in the box.
"In this case, I'll see how you can cause trouble for me."
Albert hummed happily, preparing to prepare the diary another day. He waved his wand and used the Disillusionment Charm on Ginny Weasley, temporarily sending her out of the Room of Requirement.
Albert then returns the box containing Tom Riddle's diary to the trash heap in the Room of Requirement.
It's actually a bit funny to say it.
At first, Albert designed Dumbledore to take away Voldemort's crown Horcrux, and now he personally hid Voldemort's diary Horcrux here.
He needs to buy himself enough time to make complete preparations and prepare Tom Riddle's diary.
Albert is convinced that as long as it is controlled properly, Tom's Horcrux will be a hen that lays golden eggs, which can provide him with sufficient task experience and rewards, and can also minimize risks. It is even better than the Tool Man from last semester.
Luo is easy to use.
Well, it can also reduce the impact of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets on Hogwarts.
I am indeed a good person.
After leaving the Room of Requirement, Albert immediately rushed back to the Gryffindor common room with Ginny Weasley.
The Fat Lady still hasn't come back, but someone has helped him open the entrance to the common room.
After Albert walked into the Gryffindor common room, the familiar voice suddenly sounded, "It's time for you to go, you'd better go to the bathroom, the second to last room.
"What should she do?"
"I'll take care of it," the voice said calmly.
"Excuse me." Albert walked upstairs. When he disappeared at the end of the stairs, another Albert appeared out of thin air, looked at the unconscious Ginny Weasley, and murmured: "You should
