4 Chapter 4: A night out on the first day of school

"Tom! You lied to me!"

Ginny sat angrily at her desk, her quill practically poking at the paper.

It was obvious that she was really angry. Normally, she would refer to Cyrus as "Mr. Riddle" with more respect.

"Be gentle, don't hurt me. Besides, when did I lie to you?" Cyrus responded immediately.

"Hmph! You said that you can't tell me about the sorting ceremony or it will be dangerous for little wizards! What happened? It was just a broken hat! Could it bite my head off?" Ginny said angrily.

What made her most angry was that before the sorting, She had vowed to show off the "first-hand information" she had learned to other students by defeating the troll, as he had explained, but the result...

"You've embarrassed me!"

However, she stopped poking at the book, and after checking it carefully, she breathed a sigh of relief when she found that she had left no traces on the diary at all.

In fact, it is almost impossible to destroy a Horcrux through physical means.

"I never said that the sorting ceremony would be dangerous. I reminded you not to worry, there won't be much danger. As a result, just as I said, you are intact! What a joy and congratulations!" Cyrus told her bluntly then congratulated her for getting sorted. 

After spending a long time alone, communicating with Ginny was also a great comfort to him - Cyrus was not Voldemort after all.

"Yes! But what you had said made me feel like I might lose an arm or a leg!"

"It seems that one of us has a slight misunderstanding of the term 'less dangerous'."

"Thank you, that means it's not dangerous at all! Do you expect that hat on my head to suffocate me?" Ginny asked.

"Not necessarily - if you are evil by nature, then it will assign you to Azkaban, and that's the danger." Cyrus rambled.

But Ginny obviously believed it, her eyes widened:

"Are you serious?"

"Of course it is, isn't it talking to you in your head? The Sorting Hat can see through people's hearts. People with evil natures should be put in Azkaban. That is actually the fifth house of Hogwarts. The representative magical animal is the Soul Eater."

He couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"I've never heard any of this."

"There are still many secrets about Hogwarts that you don't know! Even Dumbledore can't master all the secrets here. Exploring the castle is very interesting. I remember that Gryffindor's tradition is night "Swim", "Cyrus said seductively.

"It's against school rules! And I don't think Percy or Hermione will be happy."

"Really, but I think your other two twin brothers might be willing to support you."

Ginny had already told him some details about the Weasley family these days, so Cyrus could tell them without any scruples.

"They are really afraid that the world will not be in chaos."

"Stop talking about this, did anything interesting happen on the first day of school? Did you make any friends?" Cyrus asked with concern.

"Of course, it's just too much fun!" Ginny wrote heavily on the paper.

It was not difficult to see that what she said was completely ironic. "Harry and Ron were late. They were sitting in Dad's car and driving all the way from the sky and came here, were witnessed by several Muggles, and ended up breaking a Whomping Willow or something - a lot of people thought they would be expelled. Fortunately, they didn't!"

"This is really a wonderful experience——"

"I just feel terrible. What if Harry is expelled? Ron is definitely instigating this, and there will probably be trouble on Dad's side," Ginny said angrily.

"Do you care about that Harry Potter?" Cyrus asked sharply.

This made the angry Ginny panic all of a sudden, her face turned red, as if she had been stabbed in the mind.

"No! I just think Harry...he seems very quiet, not like a reckless person who would do something like this..."

Ginny covered her hot face and wrote this sentence in her diary with one hand.

She was just glad that Mr. Riddle couldn't see her, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

"So you don't care about him?"

"Of course not!" Ginny quickly denied it at first, and then wrote hesitantly, "At most - at most, I admire him a little. You know, he destroyed You-Know-Who, and I grew up listening to his stories."

"It's really amazing, so I think you don't need to worry about him. Harry Potter eliminated You-Know-Who. It can be said that he saved the wizarding world. If Dumbledore expelled him, he would definitely be dismissed the next day. Thousands of howler letters would come, what do you think?"

"You're right." Ginny's mood suddenly improved a lot, but her face was still red.

"I have to go to bed, Mr. Riddle. I have classes tomorrow."

"Sleep? No, I suggest you take a night trip!" Cyrus immediately tempted her.

"But..."

"Don't you want to explore the inside of the castle?"

"But it doesn't make any difference, we can go during the day."

"Of course it's different! If you keep following the rules, you will never see Hogwarts under the silver moonlight at night - not to mention, it is very interesting to hide and seek with the administrator! Don't you know how to do it at all? Still not moved?"

"Of course NOT! I will not go at all—"

She did *sigh*.

——

"Which way should I go?" Ginny wrote quickly in her diary as she walked.

The stubborn Ginny had lost to her curiosity.

She was flustered and sneaky, raising her head and looking around every few seconds. Compared with these, the most distressing thing is that she still doesn't know the structure of the castle at all. Even if she wants to go anywhere, it's still in the dark.

"Why don't you go to the corridor on the fourth floor and have a look? Didn't your brother say that he and that Harry Potter fought against the mysterious man there last year?"

Pay homage to the place where the great Harry Potter once fought..?

Ginny's eyes lit up and she thought this was a good idea.

"Where is the corridor on the fourth floor?"

"If you were in Gryffindor Tower right now, then..."

In the diary, a map slowly appeared.

This is a map that Cyrus drew based on Voldemort's memory. There are almost no secret passages. After all, Voldemort is not interested in boring things. There was no need for Ginny to know about some secret rooms.

Ginny took a quick look and immediately closed the diary. She heard that teachers sometimes patrolled the area at night, and they might bump into other students wandering around at night.

She didn't want anyone to know she was talking to a book.

"The corridor on the fourth floor..?—over here!"

Ginny, who was not very experienced in night tours, immediately walked out quickly after determining the direction.

She couldn't wait to see where Harry had fought last year.

However, she didn't notice the black shadow appearing behind her at all.
