94 Diagon Alley

Chapter 23: Festival

    Containing venom..It rushed over blindly. Harry hurriedly dodged and crashed into the wall of the secret room. It lunged again, its forked tongue swishing across Harry's body. Harry raised the silver sword with both hands, transferred all his strength to the silver sword, and slammed it into the basilisk's palate so deeply that it didn't reach the hilt of the sword.

    Gwen was already cheering in place.

    However, when the basilisk twisted in pain and tumbled to the ground aside. Harry's arm was dripping with terrifying black blood.

    The three Weasley brothers and Gwen wanted to rush over to see how Harry was doing, but Voldemort on the side moved his wand, and several people seemed to be separated by an invisible wall Besides, you can't get in. Ron banged five times, and a big lump came up on his head.

    A dark shadow stood in front of Harry. The secret room was extremely quiet, except for the sound of water droplets falling.

    "You're dead, Harry Potter," said Riddle's voice over him, "dead. Even Dumbledore's bird knows that. You see what it's doing Is it, Potter, it's crying."

    Harry's entire arm turned black at an alarming rate, and Phoenix Fox really landed on his arm and rubbed his head against the wound. Big, big, pearly tears rolled down its lustrous feathers.

    "I'm going to sit here and watch you die, Harry Potter. Don't worry, I have time. Then I'll take care of your friends one by one, maybe right away. Let's start with this little girl, for example." Voldemort waved, and Ginny, who was lying on the ground, flew to him.

    "No—" Ron shouted from outside the barrier, "Let them go, you coward! Let us in!"

    For a moment, Gwen felt that her exploding head suddenly stopped hurting, and that dangerous premonition seemed to disappear. She randomly touched the tears on her face and ran to the red heads standing in the direction of the door. George grabbed her hand tightly and held her behind.

    "Go away, you bastard," said Voldemort's voice suddenly, "'Get off him. Do you hear me, get out of here!"

    He was furious, as if things were out of control.

    "Phoenix tears..." the dark-haired youth whispered, his eyes fixed on Harry's arm, "of course...healing...I forgot..." He looked at Harry's face. "It doesn't matter though. Actually, I think it's better. Just you and me, Harry Potter." He raised his wand.

    Fox left Harry's arm, circling the Chamber of Secrets as if looking for something, and a sharp-eyed Gwen found a tattered notebook that was out of place in the Chamber of Secrets, and again—according to Harry—like a The sturdy Muggle discus player threw the old book at Fox, and was answered with a cheery tweet.

    Immediately, the phoenix flew towards Harry, and something fell on his lap, which Gwen later learned was a diary. In that life-and-death moment, Harry, and Riddle, still holding his wand, had their eyes fixed on it. Then, without thinking or hesitating, as if he had always made up his mind to do this, Harry grabbed the basilisk fang on the ground beside him and inserted it straight into the center of the journal.

    With a terrifying, long-lasting, eardrum-piercing whine, ink jets sprayed violently from the journal and ran down Harry's hands to the ground. Riddle twisted and struggled, waving his arms incessantly, screaming, and then he disappeared. With a click, Harry's wand fell to the ground, and everything fell silent except for the sound of ink still oozing from the diary. The basilisk's venom scorched a hole through the diary, hissing black smoke.

    At this time, the invisible barrier disappeared out of thin air, and a soft slam came from the other side of the secret room, and Ginny began to move. Ginny sat up as Harry and a few companions hurried past. The girl was crying out of breath, saying that she was forced to control by Riddle in the diary. She tried to tell Harry several times, but failed. Then she hugged Gwen again and apologized, saying that she had been avoiding her for fear that Gwen would get angry and that Riddle threatened to kill everyone around Ginny.

    At this time, Fred was still joking. He rolled his eyes and said to his brothers: "Does she know who is her family?"

    Finally, the six men (who did not abandon Lockhart in the end) escaped from the bombed hole with six men hanging from the claws of Phoenix Fox, and the hurried professors sent the children to the hospital wing. Together they sealed the chamber. The Weasleys who arrived later stretched out their arms at the same time, embraced their precious daughter, and hugged several students present one by one. Mrs. Weasley seemed to have a special love for girls, and she would not let go of Ginny and Gwen.

    However, Gwen did not participate in the follow-up conversation between Harry and Ginny in the headmaster's office. She was lying on the bed in the medical wing. Gwen twisted her neck during the fight with the basilisk and is now wearing A silly neck collar, unable to move at all.

    Fortunately Madam Pomfrey hadn't slept, the mandrakes were ripe, and bottles of fresh potions poured into the mouths of the petrified students. Gwen was surprised to find out that it was Hermione and the Ravenclaw girls who woke up first, and she had to tell Hermione what had happened for half an hour with her eyes squinted before Madam Pomfrey pulled the curtain between them. .

    With the special approval of Headmaster Dumbledore, Gwen sat at the banquet table with a neck covering, Katie almost cried when she saw her, and finally considered her fragile neck He didn't jump up and hug her.

    Gwen has been to several Hogwarts banquets, but never has it been as wonderful as today. Everyone was in pajamas, and the festivities continued throughout the night. Professor McGonagall stood up and told them that the school had decided to cancel the exam in order to entertain everyone. Harry, Ron, Gwen each gave Gryffindor 200, and the Weasley Twins each gave 100 (Fred indignant: "We put together the big Mandela It took a lot of effort, but only half of the points."), they all won the school's special contribution award.

    Gwen's face was hot, she felt that she had done nothing, in the secret room, it was Harry's loyalty and courage, and Ron's loyalty to his friends who saved everyone. And she relied on her own little invention... At this time, Headmaster Dumbledore looked at her and the twins with caring eyes, "Miss Ollivander and Mr. Weasley's magic props are very interesting and Practical, the Minister of Magic is very interested in 'contact lenses' and protective badges after learning about it. He announced that the Ministry of Magic will acquire these products and study them further, maybe in the future." Applause broke out in the auditorium, and Hogwarts classmates He also looked at the three of them with either kindness or shock. Fred and George stood up and bowed in circles, and George made a handful of flowers for Gwen and put them in a circle around her neckband. Now Gwen looked like a blushing flower lion.

    Ginny was not punished either, because Dumbledore told the little girl privately that there were more good, older wizards who were also bewitched by You-Know-Who, and she didn't need to feel guilty. Fortunately, Professor Lockhart won't be back next semester. When everyone heard the news, cheers erupted. Several teachers were applauding, and even Professor Snape clapped his hands. I really don't know which one is the most wonderful and wonderful.

    The rest of the summer semester was spent in bright sunshine. Everything was fine, except that the twins would always jump to the left and jump to the right when Gwen couldn't move his neck, making Gwen's teeth itch with hatred. Ginny Weasley, on the other hand, has regained her lively and cheerful personality, and she is no longer shy towards Harry. Occasionally, Lai will discuss a little witch's secret in Katie and Gwen's bed.

    In a blink of an eye, they were heading home on the Hogwarts Express. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Gwen and Ginny occupy a separate compartment. They make the most of the last few hours allowed to use magic before the holiday.

    When the train was about to arrive at King's Cross, Harry suddenly remembered something.

    "Ginny—you saw what Percy was doing the other day, he wouldn't let you tell anyone', "Oh, you asked that," Ginny giggled, "yes So - Percy has a girlfriend. "

    Fred dropped a stack of books on George's head. "what"

    Gwen also interjected, "Is that the prefect of Ravenclaw, the girl who was petrified with Hermione."

    Ginny nodded, "Last summer, he just wrote so many letters to her."

    Gwen continued to add, "Yeah, one day I caught them kissing in an empty classroom on the second floor."

    The twins and Ron could put an egg in their mouths, Harry didn't respond and only asked, "So you used this excuse to take Percy away that day when you were underground? ?"

    Gwen grinned and said yes, then felt something was wrong: "How do you know I tricked him underground? Harry."

    Harry hesitated. Ginny on the side was watching her brothers nervously, "You won't make fun of him, will you?" she asked uneasily.

    "You wouldn't even dream of that," Fred said, but it seemed his birthday had come early.

    "Absolutely not," George replied, smiling secretly.

    The Hogwarts Express gradually slowed to a stop.

    Another great year, but better not to do it again, Gwen thought, rubbing his newly healed neck.

    A New Beginning
