Chapter 168 Tom, Voldemort
"Go find the professor quickly and tell him what happened here!"
After Draco finished speaking, he put one hand on the ground and prepared to jump down without much hesitation.
"Draco! You...won't you come with us?" Pansy's eyes widened in fear, staring at Draco's movements in horror.
Draco was silent. He actually didn't want to take risks at all, but thinking that Astoria would be killed, he could only comfort himself that there was no danger down there.
"I'll go with you." Daphne suddenly stepped forward. She held Draco's arm tightly. Her long, light blond hair was a little messy by the wind at the pipe mouth, but her eyes were firm, and she planned to jump into the depths together. Bottomed pipe.
"No, Daphne. You have to go with Pansy. Pansy needs your company, and you are the only one on the professor's side who can quickly organize words to let the professor understand what is going on?"
"Yes, Daphne, let's go find the professor!" Pansy immediately nodded in agreement. She hugged Daphne's arm tightly and pressed her body close to her, her eyes looking around helplessly, and her body trembling slightly.
"Find Astoria." Daphne lowered her eyes, covering the dark and unclear look in her eyes, and asked Draco word by word in a low tone.
Immediately, she pulled Pansy and turned around to leave the bathroom and ran to the basement to seek help from Professor Snape.
Draco was the only one left in the bathroom again. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly, his eyeballs rolling around in his eyelids, feeling very uneasy inside.
Finally, he clenched his fists tightly, jumped into the dark pipe.
"what--"
The tearing feeling at his ankle made Draco cry out in pain. A thin layer of cold sweat covered his forehead, and he struggled to stand up on the rock.
"Astoria, what on earth has got you!" The young master, who had always been pampered and pampered, felt this embarrassed for the first time. He leaned against the rock wall in pain, with some thoughts of giving up in his mind.
Click——
There was the sound of a mechanism ringing in the air. Draco turned his head warily to hear the sound and seemed to catch a glimpse of the familiar gold.
"Astoria!"
Draco stood up anyway, shouting angrily as he limped deeper into the cave.
Finally, he stopped in front of a solid wall. There are seven intertwined snakes carved on the wall, with huge sparkling emeralds in their eyes.
Astoria was behind this wall, and Draco knew it.
He hit the wall hard in an attempt to destroy it, but it was all in vain, leaving only a few more scars on the back of his hands.
"Uh! Astoria, come out! Do you hear that? Astoria!"
Draco pounded the wall irritably and roared over and over again until his throat became hoarse and many blood stains were left on the wall. He leaned weakly against the wall and slowly slumped to the ground. The scars on the back of his hands numbed slightly as he clenched his fists. Water vapor gradually reflected in Draco's gray-blue eyes, and his nose felt sore unconsciously.
Boom——
A huge explosion sounded, and Draco immediately leaned against the wall in alertness and tried to stand up. In the distance, dust filled the sky in the direction of the entrance. Countless rocks collapsed and blocked the entrance. The light in Draco's eyes was all extinguished with the naked eye.
"Malfoy! Why are you here?"
A familiar and disgusting voice came from above his head. Draco raised his head and glanced, and it was indeed the annoying Potter.
Harry Potter noticed that Draco was injured, and after thinking for a moment, he knelt down and held Draco's arm to pull him up.
"Go away, I don't need Saint Po Te's help!"
Draco reacted almost subconsciously and shook Harry's hand away. He supported the wall with one hand and hid the injured hand behind his back, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Harry didn't have much patience either. Seeing that Draco didn't appreciate it, he just rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, and then carefully studied the stone wall entwined with snakes behind Draco.
"Hiss... plug... haha!"
Just listening to the unknown words coming out of Harry's mouth, the snakes on the stone wall moved in response and retracted their heads one after another.
With a clang, the circular stone wall slowly cracked, opening outward to reveal a dark hole.
"How did you do that? Answer me!" Draco's eyes widened in shock. Without a wall to lean on, he almost fell over after chasing Harry into the room.
Draco staggered in and saw Harry standing blankly in the corner of the stone room, looking at something in horror.
Draco followed his gaze and saw more stone pythons wrapped around the towering stone pillars, rising up and disappearing into the dark ceiling. At the end of the stone room, on the beach with clear reflections, a small red-haired figure was curled up, guarding Astoria next to him.
"profit--"
"Ginny!" Harry's voice was so high that it drowned out Draco's call. He was seen rushing towards the end of the stone room, his wet eyes staring intently at Ginny on the ground.
"impedimenta!" (Obstacles)
Before Harry could take precautions, Astoria's emotionless voice sounded, her wand lit up, and the ground in front of Harry exploded inexplicably, causing him to fall to the ground in embarrassment.
"Greengrass, you are actually a descendant of the Chamber of Secrets!" Harry stared at Astoria in disbelief. Perhaps his anger affected his judgment, causing him to fail to recognize Astoria's godless and indifferent expression. Not something normal people have.
Seeing Astoria's appearance, Draco couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He quickened his pace and staggered forward. He saw Astoria's tendency to raise her wand, but he was not afraid.
"Leah! This isn't you, Leah! Wake up!"
Draco's words seemed to have some effect, as Astoria's gray pupils flashed slightly, her brows furrowed in discomfort, the wand in her hand slowly lost strength and fell off, and her consciousness fell into confusion.
"She won't wake up."
Suddenly, a low and cold voice suddenly came from the dark corner. As Draco and Harry tacitly turned their eyes to the corner, they saw a tall black-haired man leaning against the nearest door. Watching Astoria from a pillar.
He gently hooked his hand, and Astoria, who was standing next to Ginny, seemed to have lost her soul, and walked to the man's side like a zombie.
"Good boy." The man smiled with satisfaction, his broad and thick palm gently caressed the top of Astoria's golden head, stroked it down her curly hair, and finally placed it on her shoulder.
"Who are you?"
Draco's eyes were full of anger, and he glared at this mysterious man with a face filled with resentment.
"Tom, are you...are you a ghost?" Although the lenses of his glasses were slightly broken, Harry still vaguely recognized this familiar face.
"No, Harry, of course I am not a ghost, I am a memory, a memory from the diary fifty years ago."
Harry didn't ask any further questions. When Astoria was asked to stay away from Ginny, he quickly walked up to Ginny and squatted down, shaking her shoulders and slapping her cheeks.
However, Ginny's skin was so cold that she could barely feel any warmth, and even the ups and downs of her breathing were almost imperceptible.
"Ginny! Ginny! Oh god! She is as cold as ice!" Harry lay sadly in front of Ginny, wailing in pain and helplessness.
"What on earth are you doing? Put down the wand!" At this moment, Draco screamed in horror. Harry looked up and saw that Tom had picked up the wand he had dropped at some point and was playing with it leisurely.
"Tom, give me my wand back. There is a basilisk here. I want to take Ginny away." Harry stood up slowly, staring at the wand that belonged to Tom in his hand.
"The basilisk needs to be summoned before it appears. Harry, don't worry, you won't need a wand." Tom stared at Harry with an unknown smile.
"what does that mean?……"
"You idiot, he is the culprit, the owner of the secret room!" Draco's face was filled with resentment, and he stared at Tom warily. He glanced at Leah behind him out of the corner of his eye, thinking about the feasibility of rescuing Leah.
"Oh Harry, that blond boy is right. The weaker Ginny is, the stronger my power will be." Looking at the disbelief on Harry's face, Tom smiled proudly, "Yes, Ginny Sly is the one who opened the secret room!"
"No...impossible..."
"Yes, yes! It was Ginny who petrified Mrs. Norris, and it was Ginny who released the basilisk. Of course, she didn't know she had done this. But she guessed it from various signs. Poor Ginny wanted to avoid injuring others. , she didn’t dare to throw away the diary, she and we Leah tried hard, but we couldn’t destroy it yet!”
"Then what does this have to do with Leah? We Leah didn't offend anyone!"
"Leah, that's right, little little sweet!" Tom turned around and stared at Draco with burning eyes. His eyes were disdainful, his nose wrinkled slightly, and then he said, "She is really a magical girl. She is not a Parseltongue, but she can communicate with her. Talking to snakes, even summoning basilisks. She is a surprise, the embodiment of my soul."
"Crazy!" Draco felt that his ankle seemed to be in more pain, and he couldn't stand up straight. His staggering body looked embarrassed in front of the tall man.
"And you, Harry Potter. Although the plan has changed, fortunately you still got the diary and had an in-depth communication with me. I am really curious about how a baby who should not have any magical talent defeated the history of history. The most powerful Dark Lord?"
"What does that have to do with you? Voldemort is not from the same era as you!" Harry turned blue and glared at Tom, who was still calm and composed.
"Voldemort... is my past, present and future!"
