Chapter 98
Chapter 98-Ginny’s Heart Knot
The next day, Charles Knott and Millie Boss woke up as scheduled.
Sleeping for two days had a lot of impact on their bodies, but they were so weak that after they learned that Ulysses had rescued them, they expressed their gratitude to Ulysses for the first time.
Especially Millie, her gaze looking at Ulysses was extremely fierce, and it seemed that as long as Ulysses nodded, she could immediately agree to take Ulysses home as the son-in-law of the Burst family. .
In fact, before she was attacked, she planned to make a grand confession to Ulysses on Valentine’s Day, but Tracy pulled her soul away, and this failed.
This made her angry, yelling that her father would cut off business with the Shafik family.
The Bosid family is a new family that has suddenly risen in recent decades. The industry is dominated by potions and magical biological materials, both of which are extremely profitable industries. This makes their waists a lot stronger and faintly impacts Sacred’s 20th. The position of the eight in the British magical world.
But Ulysses didn’t want to get involved in this wealth. Perceiving the emotion that Millie no longer concealed, his head was as big as a fight, and he rightfully rejected Millie, but after seeing her self-willed attitude and disapproval look, he could only avoid Millie as much as possible.
The two events that happened last night have been spread in the castle, and the other three academies, who didn’t know it, were so surprised that they could put a duck egg in their mouths after hearing the two news, and then there was a burst of ecstasy.
The threats of the attackers have been pressing on their heads. Now that the Basilisk and Shafik brothers and sisters were caught, the pressure disappeared, and the long-lost brisk smile returned to their faces.
In the school hospital, Harry’s ward was full of professors.
Although Harry’s injury was no longer serious, Madam Pomfrey insisted that the bones on his chest had not healed completely, so he had to drink a tube of osteogenic agent and lie down in the school hospital for a few days to observe.
“Although your behavior violated at least one hundred school rules, you defeated the basilisk! What a remarkable achievement!”
Professor McGonagall’s face was full of pride and admiration, and his bright smile seemed to say, “I am indeed from Gryffindor College.”
Harry scratched his head when he was so boasted by his dean, and he smiled slyly, but he was deeply impressed by what she said in his heart.
The moment the long sword pierced the basilisk, Harry felt that he had sublimated, and his courage had taken a qualitative leap.
Professor Snape glanced at Dumbledore, perhaps that was why Dumbledore allowed the three of them to fight the basilisk alone.
“However, I really want to know, why did you show up in that position last night?”
Dumbledore said gently.
The three of Harry glanced at each other, and finally Hermione explained to the professors. Beginning with Hermione’s confirmation of the basilisk, it was said that Hagrid was the opener of the chamber in Ulysses’s mouth, and then it was Hagrid’s rhetoric when they asked Hagrid.
Dumbledore kept nodding his head and said softly:
“Wisdom and courage are fully manifested in you. However, there are still some small doubts that have not been solved.”
Then he said to Professor McGonagall, “Minerva, please go and invite Ginny Weasley here.”
Professor McGonagall looked at him in surprise, but said nothing, nodded and left the school hospital.
Ron was obviously nervous and asked in a low voice:
“Professor, what does this matter have to do with Ginny?”
“Oh, don’t be nervous, I don’t mean to punish her. You will know when she comes.”
Dumbledore said with a smile, he saw something about Ginny and Tom in Ulysses’ memory.
Before long, Ginny, who was a little pale, followed Professor McGonagall and walked into the school hospital.
She seemed to know what was going to happen, her eyes flushed, and she resisted crying.
“Sorry, Professor, I know I did something very wrong. I have packed my luggage. You can fire me whenever you want…”
After walking in, Ginny whispered, crying.
The other people’s faces changed, and Dumbledore waved his hand and said gently:
“No, no, no, I don’t mean to blame you. Many wizards who are older and more resourceful than you have been blinded by Voldemort.”
“Voldemort?”
The other people were really taken aback now, and suddenly hearing the name from Dumbledore made their hearts cold.
Ginny widened her eyes and said in disbelief:
“You mean…that Tom is, Voldemort?”
“Yes. Few people know that Voldemort was formerly named Tom Riddle. He was also a student in this school fifty years ago. I taught him. He disappeared after leaving the school and traveled all over the place. The world… he is sinking deeper and deeper in the quagmire of black magic, mingling with the most evil fellow in the wizarding world…”
Dumbledore recalled the past and thought of Ulysses now, with complex light faintly gleaming in his pale blue pupils. “If Ulysses were not for him, he would probably be the best student in school history. .”
“Professor, Lestrange only transferred here this year.”
Ron whispered aside.
Dumbledore’s face froze.
“But how did Tom Riddle get involved with Ginny?”
Professor McGonagall asked suspiciously.
“His… diary.”
Ginny sobbed and said, “I’ve been writing on it for half a year… He kept responding to me…”
Professor McGonagall was stunned, “Ginny! Mr. Weasley has never taught you, never believe in anything that can think independently, unless you can see where it hides your mind? A suspicious thing like that. , Obviously there are traces of black magic!”
“I, I don’t know…”
Ginny was still crying sadly, “What I found in my schoolbag…I thought it was given to me by my mother, so…”
“Minerva, we should be more tolerant of the deceived children.”
Dumbledore spoke softly, watching Ginny say encouragingly, “What then?”
“Then, I felt that I lost consciousness for a while, and when I woke up, I appeared in the corner of the corridor where Mrs. Loris was attacked… There were red marks on my hands…”
She couldn’t cry, and the others were taken aback: “You mean, you wrote those words on the wall?”
She nodded in pain, but suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart.
“I’m very happy, Ginny, you can take the initiative to tell these things.”
Dumbledore said with a smile, “Otherwise, this thing will be like a poisonous thorn. It will pierce deeper and deeper in your heart, and you will grow under tremendous pressure… But just say it.”
“Put your packed luggage and put it back. The school didn’t mean to expel you. But you should go to Mrs. Pomfrey for a bottle of jubilant, or perhaps another cup of steaming chocolate milk-I always think of it. It’s very helpful to improve my mood.”
Ginny looked at him overjoyed, wiped her tears, and smiled.
