Riddle looked at the ashes of the basilisk on the ground in despair, and there was a deep and invisible trace of sadness in his eyes. For him, the basilisk accompanied him through the years of his student days very early. It can be said that he accompanied him for a long time. The big loyal partner, now there is only a handful of humble ashes left, and, inevitably, there will not be a feeling of sadness in the death of a rabbit.
"You won. As a winner, this diary and my memory are at your disposal. I hope you can do it simply. Even as a memory, I just want to be able to leave here quietly." He smiled slightly, although it is only a memory, there is still a lot of nostalgia for the world. But this is the end of the matter, there is no violence and anger, just accept everything calmly and calmly, Voldemort's arrogance prevents him from doing some unnecessary struggles like the weak.
"As a respect for the legend, and out of courtesy to an opponent, I will let you leave quietly." Augustus nodded, a glimmer of admiration flashing in his silver pupils, a person can be weak or ignorant, but demeanor and integrity are always the most respectable. For human beings, the most test of temperament is always before leaving this world. There is great terror between life and death, and true courage is often displayed at this moment.
Riddle nodded slightly and closed his eyes as if to welcome the coming death. Augustus waved his silver wand lightly, and black flames flew out of the wand. The dark flames stained Riddle's hazy body. Like a black hole that devoured everything, Riddle's body gradually disappeared in the flames, until it was empty. Phoenix stopped on Augustus's shoulder and sang a low song as if to bid him farewell.
Augustus sighed slightly, went forward to pick up the diary that had no spirituality, and walked towards the exit with Phoenix.
"Mr. Augustus, are you alright?" At the entrance of the secret room, Loki saw Augustus coming with Phoenix, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"It's over, Riddle and Slytherin's basilisks will never appear again. You can rest easy." Augustus smiled and nodded, telling everyone the news.
Harry and Ron let out a sigh of relief, and Ron had a happy expression. "I said long ago that with Mr. Augustus here, whether it is the Dark Lord himself or Riddle, it is doomed to fail." In Ron's eyes, Augustus' status has long been deified.
"The battle with the Basilisk this time is still quite thrilling. If it wasn't for Fox's help, I might not have eliminated it so smoothly." Augustus patted Fox with a smile in his eyes, Phoenix is proud He raised his head and whimpered proudly.
"Since the matter is over, let's take Ginny out as soon as possible and tell everyone the good news." Harry looked at Augustus with joy, and couldn't wait to leave this ghost place.
"Harry, take this diary first, and you decide what to do with it." Augustus handed the diary in his hand to Harry, and Harry nodded and took it.
At this moment, a soft moan came from the ground, Ginny began to move and slowly sat up, her blank eyes fell on the diary in Harry's hand, she snorted, gasped, and burst into tears. It flowed down loudly. "Harry - oh, Harry - at breakfast, I - I wanted to tell you, but in Percy's face I didn't - couldn't tell. I did it, Harry- But I- I swear I- I didn't mean it, Ri- Riddle forced me, he- he controlled me. You- how did you kill that--that guy? Riddle was in -Where? I-I only remember him coming out of the diary at the end"
"It's all right, Mr. Augustus ended them, don't worry, Ginny, there will be no more diaries and basilisks." Harry comforted Ginny gently.
Ginny sobbed for a while, then got up to thank Augustus. Augustus helped Ginny and comforted her for a while before they were ready to leave the secret room. "I'm going to be fired!" Ginny cried as Harry helped her stagger to her feet, "I've been looking forward to coming to Hogwarts since Bee-Bill came. , now that I have to leave, what will Mom and Dad- how?"
A few people walked to the pipe and looked at the dark water pipe. Harry looked at Augustus at a loss. "How are we going to get back there down the pipe?"
Ron shook his head. Phoenix Fox, who had whizzed past Harry just now, was now flapping his wings in front of him, his sparkling eyes shining brightly in the darkness. It wags the long golden feathers on the back of its tail. "You can grab the phoenix's tail and pull the other up." Augustus clearly understood the meaning of the phoenix and said to Harry.
"But with five of us here, can Fox carry that much weight?" Harry asked suspiciously.
"Just bring Ginny and Ron. I'll follow you with Loki." Augustus didn't explain much, Harry nodded understandingly, and grabbed Fox's tail with one hand, which was surprisingly hot feathers, Ron took Ginny's hand and Harry's robe on the other side. The cold air blew through everyone's hair. While they were still enjoying the fun of this flight, the journey was over.
The three landed on the wet floor of Weeping Myrtle's bathroom, and the next second, Augustus pulled Loki and landed not far away. Myrtle stared at them with wide eyes. "You're still alive," she said to Augustus disappointedly. "I'm disappointed." Augustus smiled helplessly. Myrtle bowed her head shyly. "Oh, that's it. I've been thinking about it. If you die, you are welcome to share this toilet with me." The pale face turned silvery as if stained. "After a hundred years, there may be a chance." Augustus waved his hand slightly, and several people turned to leave the bathroom and walked towards the empty corridor
