Chapter 161 Chapter 161
We followed the voice, and it was Ms. Gray.
She had already floated above us at some point, leaning slightly to observe us, when she cast her gaze on me, her expression changed: "It's already past the access control time."
Ms. Gray also noticed that we came for a purpose, and quickly issued an order to evict: "Go back to your own college, the nearest school is not safe, especially at night."
After that, she was about to float away again, but Ginny stopped her.
"Wait! Ms. Gray! We have something to do with you!" Seeing Ms. Gray turn around, Ginny pulled my clothes, winked at me, and whispered, "Tell her .”
I nodded and stepped forward: "Ms. Gray, it's like this..."
When the words came to my lips, I suddenly forgot how to express them and was stunned for a few seconds.
"It's... that... we..." I stammered for a moment, before deciding to tell the truth, "We want you to tell Ravenclaw where the diadem is, and help us find it."
As soon as the words were finished, Ms. Gray's eyes widened and she quickly passed through our bodies, behind us, and shouted loudly: "Say what you want! Slytherin! "
"Listen to me explaining Mrs. Gray..." I turned and looked up at her.
"Enough! I don't care what your motives are, I will not tell you the whereabouts of the diadem! Especially to a Slytherin!" She floated through the Ravenclaw door, "You go back !"
Then it completely disappeared before our eyes.
Neville and Ginny were a little surprised by Ms. Gray's sudden temperament change.
"Slytherin really doesn't like to go anywhere..." Neville said softly
I turned my head and stared at him: "Perhaps Voldemort tricked her into taking the crown from her hand, so she was so vigilant." I sighed, "I shouldn't be so anxious, just say the purpose at once, maybe it's a cliché It's easier like that."
"Then what should we do now?" Ginny asked, "The clue is broken. If Mrs. Grey doesn't agree, the Room of Requirement won't let us find the Horcrux."
"Since Ms. Gray doesn't like Slytherin, it's over if she doesn't see Ferrex." Neville began to suggest
"what do you mean……?"
"Leave this to me! I'll make Ms. Gray let go!" He looked at the Ravenclaw door with a serious expression.
"You?" I was a little skeptical, "She has seen our faces clearly tonight, and she may have already regarded us as a group in her heart, even though you are Gryffindor."
I feel a little unsteady in my heart. Our rash action this time has made Mrs. Grey more vigilant. Maybe we won't have a Horcrux now, and Harry Potter will be rejected when he comes again.Wouldn't that give Voldemort another chance?
"Because we are Gryffindors." Neville looked at me and smiled innocently, "There is no difficulty that can bother us."
"I don't have time to hear what you're saying about the Gryffindor Declaration." I rolled my eyes. "Tell me, Longbottom, what are your plans?"
"My plan is called—Sincere."
According to Neville, just avoid my appearance, and then he will use his so-called sincerity to impress Ms. Gray.
Although I don't quite agree with his approach, but the matter has been messed up, no matter how hard I try, I have to let her speak.
Because of this incident, the relationship between me and Navigny has become closer, at least not as hostile as before.
The students seldom came out, because no one believed Snape here, except at mealtimes.
No one in Slytherin chose to stay in school. Most of them were powerful and capable of protecting themselves. They had no reason to stay in this school that still didn't look like a school. As a result, when eating, there were only I sit alone.
Because of the war, the housekeeping elves have also become unable to do what they want. Today's lunch is only unpalatable noodles and tasteless apple juice. The small meal is some hard French bread. I sit alone on the seat and poke I couldn't finish my mouth with noodles.
At this moment, Ginny came over with her own plate and sat across from me.
"Just you?" Ginny asked knowingly.
I nodded and didn't speak.
Ginny also made fun of herself, and buried herself in two mouthfuls of noodles on the plate.
There were only soft chewing sounds around, and there was almost no conversation in the hall. Everyone ate on their own, and left in a hurry after eating, and returned to their dormitories.
After a short silence, Ginny spoke again: "I'm sorry."
I looked up at her: "What?"
"I'm sorry for what happened before. Astoria and I framed you together. I didn't expect it to be so serious, and finally made Will..." Ginny stopped, she was afraid that I would get angry if she continued, she looked at me with her bright eyes, and from within I saw
sincere.
I don't know why, but I'm not recalling the things about Will in my mind at this time, but thinking that if Neville Longbottom and Ginny Weasley have the same sincerity, then Ms. Gray will definitely be Impressed.
"Since Will left, I have been feeling uncomfortable in my heart, and then I realized that I have to apologize. Maybe we really did something wrong last time..." Ginny ignored me and continued, " It is up to you whether you forgive us or not, but I think I have to apologize, and only after I have said these words to you will I feel truly relieved, otherwise I will feel a little uncomfortable every time I see you."
I looked at her and said in the calmest tone: "The previous grievances should have been written off long ago, Weasley."
"I know."
"We just need to accomplish one goal. In fact, it doesn't matter what we didn't forgive. Although we may not be friends, at least we are comrades-in-arms now." I stretched out my hand to hold her hand.
Ginny looked at me, wondering what she was thinking, but I could tell from her expression that it was definitely not a happy expression.
"Harry and Ron used to talk about you a lot, Ferris."
"Many people like to talk about me behind my back." I raised my eyebrows and withdrew my hand.
"They'll call you nasty, but never bad, you're not like Malfoy, they're only surprised when they know you've joined the Death Eaters."
"What are you trying to say?" I listened to her unintelligible words
"I'm just..." Ginny hesitated, "Forget it, see you next time."
After that, she took the plate and left.
Ginny felt that although we were moving in the right direction, it was still too strange, we were too anxious, no, I should be too anxious.I have given up on other things in order to achieve my own goals.
Looking at her back, I felt inexplicable in my heart, but I didn't continue to think about it. After eating two bites of lunch, I wiped my mouth and left.
After another week, Neville finally brought good news. He found Ravenclaw's diadem.
"How on earth did you move her?"
The three of us gathered around the Room of Requirement, with that ornate diadem on a plain cushion.
"Just tell her the reason of the matter, and she agreed." Neville said vaguely, and he stayed at the tower almost every day for the past ten days, begging Ms. Grey.
With the approval of the master, the crown appears by itself
Looking at this beautiful crown, I couldn't help but think what a pity it would be if it were just destroyed like this.
"That's right, Ferris?" Neville asked, looking at me, hoping he was doing the right thing.
"That's right." I gently lifted the crown with my hand, placed it on the level of my eyes and looked at it carefully, my eyes were a little blurred, "What a beautiful crown."
"Are you all right, Ferris?" Ginny looked at me strangely.
Holding the crown, I couldn't resist the urge to put it on. I slowly lifted it over my head and then slowly buckled it on my head.
For a moment, the figure of Voldemort and his face with blurred features flashed in my mind. He seemed to be calling my name, and his tone was full of threats and warnings.
The crown irritated my scalp like a sudden thorn, and I screamed and tore it off my head and threw it out.
Ginny stepped forward to help me: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Neville trotted over and picked up the crown that I threw far away.
"This is Voldemort's Horcrux, with Voldemort's soul on it." I took a deep breath, revealing the Death Eater tattoos on my arm, "This is the spell Voldemort used to monitor the Death Eaters. Knowing my plan, the Horcrux tempted me to wear it just now, and after wearing it, I received a warning from Voldemort!"
"He already knows?" The other two were terrified, "Then what should we do?"
"Destroy this Horcrux, of course!" I snatched the crown from Neville's hand and threw it on the ground, "Whether he knows it or not, I'm going to kill him first anyway!"
Before they could react, I had already drawn out my wand and pointed at the crown on the ground, chanting. The flames emerged from the tip of my wand like a stream of water, spraying straight like a crown.
"Dark magic!?" Neville exclaimed, looking at me.
"Nonsense! I'm a Death Eater!" I looked up at the two of them, "Get out! This kind of fire won't destroy the Horcrux at all, I need a bigger flame!"
"No matter how big you are, you will burn the entire Room of Requirement!" Ginny came over and grabbed me, her tone very anxious.
"To destroy the Horcrux!" I called to her, "Go!"
After that, I intensified the spell again, and the fire at the end of the wand spewed out more bravely, like a flood, rushing out crazily, and forced me to keep retreating.
Never underestimate the speed of fire.
In an instant, other things around were ignited, and Neville had to drag Ginny to run out the door.
"Wait! What are you going to do! Ferrex!" Ginny watched as I held my wand firmly with both hands in order to control the direction of the flames. She thought of the impression I gave her these days, "You don't want to be with me Let it die together!!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" I looked back at her, "You go now! I'll follow after I blow it up! Longbottom! Take her now!"
Neville understood what I meant very well, he nodded towards my back: "Ginny, I believe she will be fine."
Ginny looked at me again, before finally making up her mind to leave with Neville holding each other's hands.
Seeing the fire getting bigger and bigger, I kept moving towards the exit, but I still saw the crown lying on the ground, not moving at all: "Damn it!"
I put away my wand and trot to the nearest exit. Neville and Ginny had already left, which meant I could do whatever I wanted.
Before, I wasn't quite sure what my strength was, but now facing this house that was about to be destroyed, I thought I could show my skills.
I held the wand facing the real front, and chanted a stronger fire spell in my mouth. A fireball slowly formed in front of me and became bigger and bigger. When it reached a certain level, I threw it out with all my strength.
Everything in front of me exploded at once, and I was bounced by the shock wave of the explosion on the door, and then crashed out, and then fell on the floor outside the Room of Requirement, the explosion inside the room was still expanding, and outside the door Ginny and Neville saw everything inside was tumbling due to the explosion, and rushed forward to pull the door tightly shut.
The explosion still hit the door and knocked them to the ground. Just when we thought the explosion would rush outside, when we looked up, we found that the door that was here just now had disappeared.
The explosion inside the door didn't seem to exist either.
There is only a blank wall in front of us.
