Chapter 156 The Truth in the Rainstorm
Every time Annie came into contact with Little Tom, she always couldn't bear to break the child's dream, and she couldn't help but want to see Little Tom.
But I forgot that there is a Big Tom in real life!Valentine's Day is coming soon, and I have already prepared a pair of silver cufflinks for him.
Since she had a quarrel with Harry last time, Harry stopped talking to her, and even Hermione had a scrutinizing attitude towards Annie.
Presumably Harry told them the story of "she was brainwashed by Tom Riddle".
But Harry still has a task for Dumbledore. He needs to get the memory hidden by Slughorn and figure out what Voldemort killed so many people for.
On the day of Valentine's Day, Hogwarts Castle is filled with a youthful atmosphere, and young couples gather in groups.
Zhu Peiqi gave Colin Creevey the camera she had prepared for many days, and the boy's ears turned red with excitement.
Millicent also prepared gifts for Petrov, and the two decided to have lunch at Hogsmeade.
Professor Snape frowned and grabbed couples of puppy lovers.
Annie passed the second floor with the cufflinks in her hands, and Myrtle suddenly floated out from the wall. She tilted her head, crying for a while, and then planned to float back.
"I hate Valentine's Day...because no boy ever gave me a gift while I was alive! Poor Myrtle...just like that boy," Myrtle said to herself.
"Which boy?" Annie was attracted by Myrtle's words, she put the cufflinks in her pocket, and Myrtle giggled as if she saw something interesting.
"Ask me? Why don't you go and see for yourself...that boy...he often comes here, crying helplessly and alone like me." Myrtle pointed to the boys' bathroom next to her and said.
Annie snorted, and just as she was about to turn around and leave, there were bursts of sobbing in the bathroom. Driven by curiosity, she stopped in her tracks.
"Aren't you going to leave? Then leave? Anyway, that boy hates you and Harry...It's interesting, isn't it...Oh! Wait! I seem to have seen you somewhere!" Myrtle moved to Anne's side, He wiped his nonexistent glasses.
"Aha! It's you! A few years ago! Oh...it doesn't seem right..." Myrtle scratched her head in doubt.
"Are all the ghosts at Hogwarts as talkative as you?"
The more Annie listened, the more familiar the voice in the bathroom seemed.She didn't know that her curiosity was so strong, and she regretted it as soon as she stepped into the bathroom after making sure no one saw it.
She saw Draco Malfoy looking at her with swollen eyes and a frown of disgust.
"This is the men's room... Get out!" Draco wiped his eyes hastily, and said in his strongest tone.
"So why are you crying here?" Annie leaned her back against the sink, "There's another question, why were you in the women's toilet in the Three Broomsticks that day?"
"Counting this time, it's the second time you've broken into the men's room." Draco looked at Annie, "I don't need to answer any of your questions."
"Myrtle says you hate me?"
"I said, get out!" Draco's red and swollen eyes flashed with anger, he turned on the faucet, and rinsed his face with cold water in his hand.
"What if I say no? You must answer me..."
"Don't you understand?" Draco grabbed Annie by the collar of her shirt, staring at her with bloodshot eyes. "I said... go away."
"Furious, Malfoy." Annie looked at him expressionlessly. "Are you going to attack me?"
"Yeah, I hate you. How would I be here without you and Harry Potter. My dad wouldn't be in jail."
"Are you working for Voldemort now?" Anne asked directly without those polite words.
Draco's eyes widened in surprise, and his face darkened suddenly.
"You know everything, don't you? Are you going to tell Dumbledore! I won't let you succeed, Panik...you can't get out today." Draco took out his wand, speaking with a trill .
"You're trying to kill me here? You're shaking, Malfoy." Annie looked at Draco's trembling arm holding his wand.
"I do not have!"
"Calm down, Malfoy. Your nerves are too tense, actually... I'm on the same side as you." Annie grabbed Draco's wand and lowered it bit by bit.
"That's impossible...you can't be on his side." Draco shook his head, "You're lying to me."
"Actually, I also know that Usain...Eglint...they are all your accomplices." These words of Annie obviously won Draco's trust.
Draco looked even more puzzled and surprised, "It's impossible...your father and Voldemort...how did you abandon your family?"
"Actually, that's not my home." Annie shook her head helplessly. "Tell me about you, why did you appear on the Three Broomsticks last time?"
"This is a task given to me by the adults...I have to complete it...that's all, and it can only be done by me." Draco said anxiously. "What the hell happened...after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, how could you have joined the Death Eaters..."
"Why is it impossible?" Annie looked at Draco with a half-smile.
"Could it be that you planned to be kidnapped by Voldemort at that time?! Panik... I don't understand what you are thinking." Draco looked at Anne, and gradually let go of his hands.
Draco couldn't understand how Anne Panik had abandoned her family to join the Death Eaters... William Panik was almost killed by Voldemort!
"Wait...you said...kidnapping?"
It was as if a piece of ice had slipped into her stomach, and her mind put the pieces back together.
That's right...she's been in the mindset for too long...she always thought that Anne Panik died in the Department of Mysteries...Voldemort brought Panik's body back to the Riddle House...she was able to possess her.
If Draco is right...then there is a good chance that Panik was still alive at the Riddle House!So where did she come from!Did they kill Panik alive?
"Panik...you don't look right," Draco said.
"I...I have something very important to verify." Annie hurried out of the bathroom.
She had always trusted Riddle so much...believed everything he said!So there has been no focus on what happened in 1995.
A small detail in Draco Malfoy's words woke her up...
Her heart was beating fast... She was eager to prove her cognition.
Only through Riddle's memories... could she see what happened after the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.
------------
The series of thought collisions just now made Anne very inattentive during the class. In this divination class, Sybill Trelawney drank again and scolded the centaur Firenze who was in the same divination class with her.
"The centaur and the wizard... are completely different in terms of race and divination! I don't believe in the astrology of the centaur!"
"Actually, I think Firenze's class is not bad..." Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil said secretly.
"Why didn't Harry come to class?" Neville asked Lavender suspiciously.
"I don't know, he asked for leave."
"Okay! Students, it's time to open your third eye and let us explore the future. I believe you all have certain potential..."
"She must be drunk, right?" Blaise whispered in Annie's ear, and Annie nodded.
She just wanted to get out of class quickly, that's all.Didn't find out that Miranda Grindelwald didn't come to class either.
Trelawney's eyes began to wander around again, and she looked at Blaise, "Son... you... better not go out! Don't go out!"
Brace had black lines all over his head.
"I can't see clearly... ah... I seem to see clearly again. My child, your sister is leaving." Trelawney said to Annie.
"Professor, I don't have a sister." Anne replied helplessly, this kind of class is a waste of time.
After finally listening to Trelawney's "drunk words", Anne was finally able to verify the mystery in her heart.
The sky began to gradually darken, and the golden setting sun tried hard to burst out the last ray of light among the thick clouds.
Time came to the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Panik's memory.
The surroundings were silent, and in the center of the hall of the Ministry of Magic, a huge fountain of golden sculpture was quietly operating.
Annie first used the invisibility spell, which can only last for an hour, and her actions must be fast.
Almost at the moment when she finished casting the spell, the surroundings started to be noisy, and a man was knocked away by the spell and flew at her feet.
William Panik…
William frowned tightly, blood was spitting up in his mouth, and with the sound of heavy breathing, blood bubbles burst in his mouth.
"As long as you are here, she will definitely come." Voldemort said in a hoarse voice, and he emerged from the darkness, revealing a terrifying snake face.
For a moment, Anne felt as though Voldemort saw herself, and that the wand was pointing in the direction where she was standing.There was a hint of emotion on Voldemort's terrifying face.
"You...don't even think about it..." William got up bravely, and then fell heavily on the ground, "You...you...haven't...killed...killed me before, and now...you can't either."
"William Panik, if I didn't want to save your life before, you would never be jumping around like a grasshopper here today." After Voldemort finished speaking, the surrounding movement started again.
Bailey Panik arrived, seeing the scene in front of him, his heart was burning with anger, William saw Bailey's figure, and he stood up staggeringly with strength coming from nowhere in his body.
Spreading his hands, blocking Bailey's face, his vision was blurred.
"Bailey...you go...get out of here..."
"Brother, don't be brave, I'll do it!" Bailey grabbed William's hand.
"Damn... tell you to go... just go!" William pushed Bailey away, "Don't let Anne and Harry come here... you go back... go back..."
"I didn't protect Ellis! Can't I even protect you?" Bailey stood in front of William, "I'm not the kid who just followed behind you!"
William looked at his younger brother in front of him, he watched him grow up little by little... Now he also learned to protect others...
William Panik...taught Bailey the elm head nothing!But he taught him the bad habit of being a hero!
William scolded himself in his heart.
"This is a touching scene, here she comes..." Voldemort pointed his wand at William, and William's body floated up uncontrollably, and was thrown to the sculpture of the fountain, and he fell into the pool like a broken cup .
The whole person was floating on the water on his back, and the dark red blood was floating in the water.
Seeing this scene, Annie couldn't help covering her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from whimpering.Heart burning pain.Soon, she saw another herself rushing over.
Anne Panik in fifth grade.
Panik was out of control... that's what Voldemort wanted.
They began to fight, and Anne followed them, passing one strange room after another in the Department of Mysteries.
In one place, there was only one door with a big black drapery.Anne stood on the other side of the veil, watching Panik and Voldemort fight.
When Panik looked at the black curtain, there was surprise in his eyes.Annie realized that her invisibility spell was about to expire, so she used it again quickly, hoping that Panik didn't find anything.
Panik and Voldemort fought in the main hall, and Miranda Grindelwald rushed to the scene and told Panik the truth.William Panik is not dead.
Annie was even more puzzled, how was Panik taken away by Voldemort?
The question was quickly answered, and Harry Potter and DA's team members also rushed to the scene. Voldemort suddenly possessed Harry and urged Panik to kill himself.
Panik was distracted, "Harry" stunned Panik with his wand, and Bellatrix took the opportunity to take Panik into the fireplace.
Annie came out of this memory, panting, it turned out that Panik was indeed not dead.So Voldemort killed her?
----------
With such doubts in mind, she decided to take another risk and use the mantra of rebirth twice a day, which is very exhausting to the body.
What she needed this time was Riddle's memory.
She waited until Riddle rested, her heart was beating wildly, and she wanted to give up even though the truth was close at hand.
If she found out that Panik was really killed by him, would she still love this man?The words he once said about the rights of wizards, those seemingly righteous words were based on killing.
You can't lie to yourself...even though he was born cruel, but you have decided to be with him.
Or would you like to live in the dream he wove for you?
Anne said this to herself, the past between her and Riddle will not change, those memories are so real.
You trust him completely and let him guide your soul.
The cursed light came on, and Riddle opened his eyes in an instant, but Annie was gone.
What kind of strange spell was that... He didn't know, it was raining heavily outside the window.
This is Riddle's memory... This is the Riddle Mansion...
Annie was very familiar with this place before, when she saw Riddle, she followed him.Go straight down to the dungeon.
Panik was sick and huddled in a corner, and she was aggressive, hurling insults at Riddle.
"I want to go home...ahem...go home..."
This was probably when Panik was most vulnerable, and Annie felt a little unbearable, and felt relieved after watching her take the medicine and fall asleep.
However, it didn't take long for Voldemort to come to the dungeon with his wand.
A little...forget about it.

"I don't think words alone are enough to convince her that she's what I call 'lover'."
"How about a short false memory?"
"very good."

A strong sense of vomiting surged up all of a sudden, and everything... made sense.
Anne Panik has never died... Her sense of familiarity with the people around her also comes from her heart, and the same is true for her touch of William Panik.
She was Annie Panik from beginning to end.
Her head began to ache, the pressure around her seemed to crush her, and the side effects of emotional instability that others remembered were back...
Anne was thrown out of memory, and Riddle woke up early, watching the rainstorm outside the window.
"What kind of spell is this?" Riddle wanted to help her up, but Anne pushed him away all at once.
The memory fragments are slowly joining together, and she just wants to strangle herself now.I've done so much at Tom Riddle's mercy!
Lillian Usain's weird behavior in the fifth grade... It turned out that it was not someone else, but Annie herself.Now Riddle has absorbed and fused the Horcrux...all of this...is caused by her alone.
That she...the one who completely trusted Tom Riddle...wasn't that what Trelawney said...that evil sister!
What I saw in the Department of Mysteries... was also me.
Time has already written everything, and she has already glimpsed her future self a long time ago.
She wanted to cry now, to scold herself.And all this cannot be undone.
"Annie..."
"Don't touch me!" Annie hugged herself and sat helplessly on the ground.A mess in my head.
She even wondered if she would not have to bear the pain if she gave up temporarily.The agreement between her and little Tom seemed like yesterday.
Sorry, I won't be coming again.
It's time to wrap things up.
----------
In the Wu's Orphanage, Little Tom finished eating the last piece of chocolate. It's been a month, why hasn't she come...
"Forget it, I know you're a liar." He pretended to say casually, and then fell silent for a while. "You can't be nice to someone and suddenly be irresponsible."
In the second month, he also waited in the old place.
"Hmph, I knew it, you won't come."
.........
...............
"If you don't come again, I will forget about you..."
…………
"Hey... I'm just kidding."
…………
"You're a liar, like me."
