I became Voldemort

Chapter 26: Rescue in the opposite direction

P.S: I think the Author had snorted too much white stuff before writing this chapter.

I have tried editing some plot holes BUT I can't change the chapter or the entire story will be changed.

Just take this chapter with a grain of salt or some booze. #justafanfic

"How did Ginny Weasley open the Chamber of Secrets? She can't be the heir of Slytherin." After Dumbledore returned to the office, he began to think.

While in the school doctor's office, McGonagall thought he might know who had opened the Chamber of Secrets. In fact, Dumbledore did know - he had suspected Draco Malfoy before due to Ginny's misleading, but after this attack By the time, someone had already revealed the identity of the real murderer.

As the principal, he has too many insiders in the school.

And this whistleblower isn't even a human being, but—

.....

"Is it a portrait?"

Last night, just as Cyrus petrified Colin, Dumbledore arrived. He thought that even if Dumbledore had known Ginny's secret before, it would be impossible for him to control his every move, right?

Dumbledore said that he happened to come downstairs to bring hot chocolate, but how could there be so many coincidences in this world?

He quickly thought about where the problem lay - the portraits in the castle could not simply be regarded as decorations.

They had their own thoughts and served Dumbledore. When Dumbledore wants to know some clues in the castle and when the time comes, he just asks them, or they will take the initiative to report the news, and Dumbledore will know everything.

Cyrus had deliberately ignored this point because the original Riddle in the book had also ignored this point. Why did Dumbledore not do anything when he knew about the heir? 

Because he thought that he was in control and used Riddler as a stepping stone for the 'Boy who lived'.

When Tom Riddle released the basilisk for the first time, he killed Myrtle without even leaving the bathroom.

He usually let the basilisk move in the pipes, so naturally, there was no portrait to see him.

When Cyrus made his first attack, he was also at the door of the bathroom just like in the book, so he once again avoided the portrait's eyes. But when he attacked for the second time, he directly let the basilisk wander in the corridor, which exposed his position.

"At least, the location of the secret room has not been exposed yet," Cyrus said to himself.

Every time he went to the secret room, he would cast a disillusionment spell on himself just in case, and there were no portraits in the bathroom.

Moreover, Cyrus didn't mind too much about Dumbledore knowing part of his information.

"It would be beneficial for me to make him think he has everything under control," Cyrus thought.

Dumbledore must have subjectively believed that the person who started this turmoil was Tom Riddle. Under this premise, he would definitely want to see whether the two people in the prophecy would fight, or in other words, will Harry Potter, the enemy Voldemort personally selected for himself shine again after defeating Riddle?

As for him, as the principal, he only needs to ensure the safety of the students for the time being.

it's a pity—

"The prophecy has long been irrelevant because the soul in the diary no longer belongs to Tom Riddle." Cyrus laughed.

This was the result that Dumbledore could never have imagined. When he carefully followed Cyrus's layout and waited for Harry Potter to complete the test again, he'll discover that the BOSS prepared for him this semester is missing.

That will interesting.

 After petrifying Colin, he returned to Ginny's dormitory.

Cyrus climbed out of bed and had a good night's sleep. This made Ginny look a lot better the next day, but she was still a little pale, and her body temperature was a little lower than the average person's.

This was a sign that Ginny's life force was passing away, but he did not return her body to Ginny. Instead, after washing up, he came to the Gryffindor common room.

Hermione was already sitting on the sofa reading a book.

It's that "Powerful Potion".

"You got up so early."

"You are so punctual!" Hermione looked up and said, "Ron hasn't gotten up yet."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a red-haired man jumping out in a hurry.

"Huh - you guys are already here? Sorry, I slept a little longer." Ron said quickly.

Hermione closed the book with a snap and whispered, "Let's go."

The three people immediately walked outside together.

"Where are you going?" Percy emerged from nowhere and looked at Ron suspiciously.

"Going out for a walk, what's wrong?" Ron responded not to be outdone.

"I just hope you don't go to the women's bathroom and take Ginny with you!" Percy was very dissatisfied with Ron's lack of respect for him and immediately said sternly.

Last time, he caught Ron wandering into the bathroom on the third floor.

Ron retorted with a blush.

"What does this have to do with you, and besides - I don't see anything wrong with Ginny going to the ladies' room."

This left Percy speechless.

Ten minutes later, in a cubicle of Myrtle's bathroom, Cyrus saw the compound potion with his own eyes for the first time.

"It looks absolutely disgusting..."

"It's not fully formed yet. There are also bicorn horns and black African tree snake skins that can only be stolen in Snape's office." Hermione stirred the thick, green stuff - it looked like crushed leaves mixed with black soil - while throwing the two-eared grass into the crucible.

"And we also need some hair or nails from Slytherin students. This is easy."

After a while, Harry, who had grown bones all night, came out of the school hospital.

He walked around in circles to find his friends and didn't even think of the bathroom until he met Percy, so he rushed over immediately. He wasn't surprised to see Ginny there, after all, he was the one who leaked the news yesterday.

So, he couldn't wait to tell what happened last night.

"Colin was petrified when he was coming to see me..." Harry looked guilty.

"We already know," Hermione said, they just met Professor McGonagall on the way here who was talking with Professor Flitwick about it.

Although Ron didn't like Colin very much, he couldn't help but feel angry at this time: "We'd better get Malfoy to confess as soon as possible. The sooner the better. He has been depressed since the Quidditch match. He is just venting his anger and It happens to be Colin who suffered because of it."

After a brief moment of anger, they cheered up again. After all, Colin could still be saved.

"By the way, there's one more thing," Harry told Dobby's story again. This made them even more convinced that Malfoy was the murderer.

"Lucius Malfoy must have opened the Chamber of Secrets while he was at school here, and now he's teaching dear little Draco to do it. That's obvious. However, I do wish Dobby had told you what was inside. What kind of monster is this? I really don't understand, it's sneaking around in the school, how come no one notices it?"

"Maybe it can make itself invisible," Hermione said, poking some leeches into the bottom of the cauldron, "or it can disguise itself - turn into a piece of armor or something. I read about color changing in the book 'The Story of the Ghoul'..."

Seeing her working alone, Cyrus also helped and poured some dead lacewings on top of the leech.

Harry then told what Dobby had done to him.

"So Dobby didn't let us get on the train and broke your arm..." Ron shook his head, "You know what, Harry? If he kept rescuing you, you would just die by his hands. ."

"First Lockhart, then Dobby, you are really having a bad time." Cyrus also said.
