The Great Curtain of The Times

Augustus brought everyone to the door of the teacher's lounge. The black robe was stained with traces of blood, and for a while, there was silence all around. Suddenly, a scream - "Ginny!"

It was Mrs. Weasley, who had been sitting in front of the fire crying. She jumped to her feet, followed by Mr. Weasley, both of whom stretched their arms around their precious daughter at the same time. Augustus smiled slightly and avoided it gently, so that Ginny and her parents, who had survived, could cherish this moment. Go past the Weasleys and look inside the house. Professor Dumbledore, smiling, stood in front of the mantelpiece, and beside him was Professor McGonagall, clutching her chest, gasping for air.

Fox uttered a reluctant cry at Augustus, gently pressed his head to Augustus' cheek, flew past Augustus's ear, and landed on Dumbledore's shoulder.

"You saved her! You saved her! How did you do it?" "That's what we all want to know," said Professor McGonagall weakly. Mrs. Weasley let go of Ginny. Everyone looked at Augustus not far away.

Augustus looked calm. From the beginning of the ghost dance with Harry and a few others, he heard hissing noises in the room, and talked about the clues a few people heard in Hagrid's hut following spiders, and then tracking spiders. Enter the Forbidden Forest and meet the leader of the spider, Aragog, the pet of Hagrid's student days, and learn from Aragog that the monster in the secret room is a basilisk. To Myrtle, the victim of fifty years ago, thus discovering the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. After that, it was much simpler. Several people entered the secret room together and encountered the young Voldemort who relied on the diary. Augustus himself took action, and with the help of Phoenix Fox, he solved the basilisk and Riddle, all the stories. and after that. Augustus's narrative was extremely bland, and the spider leader Aragog, the basilisk, and even Riddle encountered in the process were all mentioned in one stroke, as if these existences were batter, and they were solved without much trouble.

Although it was simple for everyone to hear, as long as a person with a little brain knows that the experience is extremely dangerous, everyone who knows Harry and Ron knows that these dangers are fatal to both of them, so this kind of experience is most likely It was only by the action of this Augustus, who seemed to have no risk description, that he could finally save himself from danger. This kind of strength is no longer comparable to any ordinary adult. Even Aurors don't know how to struggle in such a dangerous situation. Dumbledore's half-moon glasses shone with inexplicable light, and he gave Augustus a kind smile when he finished the narration. Professor McGonagall didn't seem to have escaped from the story told by Augustus, with his hands clenched tightly, his face complicated.

The Weasleys stepped forward and thanked Augustus, not only for Ginny but also for Ron, who had been involved all along. In their opinion, if Augustus hadn't led a few people to investigate from beginning to end until they entered the secret room, Harry and Ron would have died many times with their strength. For the Weasleys, Augustus is so powerful at such a young age, coupled with the huge influence of his family, they may not be inferior to Dumbledore in the wizarding world in the future. After the wings are full, it is better to flatter. As for Ron and Augustus, it would be better.

"What interests me most," said Dumbledore softly, "is how Voldemort confuses Ginny because according to my sources he is currently hiding in the forests of Albania."

"W-what?" said Mrs. Weasley in a voice of astonishment. "Mysterious? Bewitched Ginny? But Ginny isn't... Ginny doesn't... is it?"

"Voldemort's childhood memories have always existed in this diary. He must have used a special method to give life to this memory. Ginny must have been confused by this diary. Ginny's experience and experience are simply irresistible." Augustus smiled and said simply the key to the diary.

"Without this diary, nothing would have happened. The mysterious man relies on this memory to confuse people, activate the secret room, and control the basilisk. Everything revolves around this diary, and it can be said that it is the source of all this. , but after Mr. Augustus killed Riddle, this diary has no spirituality now." Loki glanced at the diary on the table and said lightly.

Dumbledore took the diary from Harry's hand, his eyes shot down from his long hooked nose, and he stared intently at the blank, clean pages.

"It's amazing," he said softly. "Few people know that Voldemort used to be called Tom Riddle. Fifty years ago, at Hogwarts, I taught him myself. He disappeared after leaving school. . . , traveled to the ends of the earth.. sunk deeper and deeper in the quagmire of black magic, mingled with the evilest of the wizarding world, went through many dangerous magical transformations, and finally reappeared as Lord Voldemort, hardly recognizable. No one has connected Voldemort to the bright, handsome boy student council president who had studied here."

"It's a pity that such an excellent person has entered the evil way, and deviates from the right path of the magic road. "Augustus murmured and shook his head regretfully. Geniuses are often conceited. Once they have chosen a path, it is difficult to change them again. They will not regret any of their choices. , Lopsided.

"But what about Ginny?" said Mrs. Weasley. "What does our Ginny have to do with—with him?"

"His day--diary!" Ginny sobbed. "I've been--writing on it for a whole year, and he--he kept writing me back--"

"Ginny!" said Mr. Weasley, dumbfounded. "Didn't I teach you? How did I tell you all the time? Never trust anything that thinks for yourself unless you see how it puts your mind. Hidden somewhere. Why didn't you show the diary to me or your mother in the first place? A suspicious thing like that, obviously full of black magic!"

"If you can get away so easily, it's not Voldemort's diary. During the dark period of his rule in the wizarding world, even many adult wizards could not escape his temptation, not to mention Ginny's age and knowledge, so don't let it go any further. Blame her, Ginny is just the youngest of the many victims." Augustus simply relieved Ginny. Dumbledore nodded. "Miss Weasley should go to the school hospital immediately," Dumbledore interjected involuntarily. "This is a painful ordeal for her. The school will not punish her. "

When the matter was over, Augustus took Loki to say goodbye to everyone, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and the Weasleys nodded to Augustus with complicated expressions and watched the two leave the room. It is not difficult to foresee that a bright star in the magic world is rising at an unpredictable speed, just like Tom Riddle in that year, like Grindelwald in that year, every time these people exist, it will create an era, Perhaps their arrival of a legend will once again open the giant curtain of the torrent of the entire era.
