บท 18: 18 Missing Ginny
During Valentine's Day the leprechauns interrupted the classes, delivering their musical letters.
But in the corridors they always found one or two unconscious goblins, they didn't remember why they were like this, but for some reason every time they met Sasuke Uchiha, they began to tremble and from that on they began to avoid him.
-----------
Two days later.
On the Quidditch field, the stands were filled with students with their yellow banners and others with red.
In the Gryffindor team locker room.
Oliver Wood: Perfect conditions to play Quidditch! Come on guys.
The team jumped onto the playing field amid the clamor of the public.
Oliver Wood took off to do a warm-up flight around the posts, and Mrs Hooch who had at her feet the trunk containing the balls that once released would start the game.
The Hufflepuffs, clad in their yellow robes, had gathered to go over tactics at the last minute.
Professor McGonagall came running onto the field, carrying a purple megaphone with her.
Minerva Mcgonagall: The match has just been called off
There were shouts and whistles from the students.
Oliver Wood, looking devastated, landed and ran over to Professor McGonagall without dismounting from his broom.
Oliver Wood: But Professor! We have to play... the Cup... Gryffindor...
Professor McGonagall ignored him and continued to yell into the megaphone:
Minerva Mcgonagall: All students are to return to their respective common rooms, where they will be briefed by their Heads of House. Go as fast as you can, please!
---------
Deep in the forbidden forest it is observed that a part of the great forest is reduced to ashes.
Sasuke after having taken a new approach in the investigation of the heir of Slytherin based on the legend, that there is a monster in the secret chamber so I speculate on the two possible creatures that could be the culprits of the attacks on Muggle-born students, those were a basilisk or a gorgon but the problem he still hasn't solved is why his victims haven't died, because of that he can't guarantee which is the culprit.
Upon discovering the weaknesses of both, he decides to train his ninjutsu and taijutsu.
Sasuke performs a set of seals and yells.
Sasuke: Katon: Gōkakyū no jutsu (Fire element, great ball of fire).
The great ball of fire burns the terrain again, increasing the ashes on it.
Sasuke decides to try another jutsu, for this reason he closes his eyes and remembers the earth element jutsus that he observed during the fourth ninja war, for that reason he decides to practice the simplest jutsu of this element and that he has used before, to later master the most powerful ones. .
Sasuke performs a set of seals and hits the ground with both hands.
Sasuke: Doton: Renga no Jutsu (Earth Release: Earth Wall Jutsu)
Managing to appear a wall that rises from the ground.
Sasuke smiles with satisfaction, because now he has all the time of his school life to train all the jutsus of the different elements that he saw during his life as a ninja, he just needs to remember them since he saw them carefully using their Sharingan in their respective confrontations.
But for now we will dominate the earth element which is mostly used for defense.
Sasuke performs a set of seals and hits the ground with both hands:
Sasuke: Doton: Renga no Jutsu (Earth Release: Earth Wall Jutsu)
1 hour later:
The whole place was filling up with walls of dirt.
Sasuke decides to meditate so he can regain his energy, and is deep in thought.
This can serve well for defense or to prevent someone from escaping by cutting her off, but they are not too powerful to resist many attacks, and less explosive spells, if I decide to strengthen her I would spend too much chakra in vain since in the end she would be destroyed.
Looking at the earthen walls around him, he remembered the shinobi alliance when he used it against the juubi and the Summoning of Orochimaru Triple Rashōmon, too bad Orochimaru didn't allow him to sign a blood contract in order to use it.
So in the absence of the contract, you can use the shinobi alliance method, you only need that when you perform Renga no Jutsu (Earth Element: Earth Wall Jutsu) multiple walls appear one after the other.
But now it is better to destroy these walls.
Sasuke summons his katana and lightning starts coming out of his hand.
Sasuke: "chidori"
The chidori begins to flow down the katana, completely enveloping it.
Sasuke aims for a wall, but the lightning element chakra doesn't spread.
About 10 minutes passed and nothing happened.
The answer to this is that he doesn't have enough chakra, his current level is the same as the Chunnin exams.
Sasuke decides to run towards the walls and begins to cut them, once cut the ground is free of those walls again.
Sasuke returns his katana to his summoning scroll.
Once this is done, Sasuke performs a set of seals and hits the ground with both hands.
Sasuke: Doton: Renga no Jutsu (Earth Release: Earth Wall Jutsu)
2 hours later, he managed to make two walls appear at the same time, Sasuke smiles with satisfaction because he is on the right track to achieve his goal, when he sees the time he decides that it is time to return to his common room.
-----------
In all common rooms it was reported that the victim was a Ravenclaw student named Penelope Clearwater she was found near the library.
Harry and Ron were glad that Hermione wasn't the victim.
Harry: Hermione, how lucky you were.
Ron: You could have been another victim too.
Hermione: I know.
Harry: what happened were you supposed to go to the library.
Hermione: What happened is that halfway there I remembered that the book I was looking for was in my room.
Ron: what book is that.
Hermione: "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them"
Ron: that book.
Harry: what's so important about that book?
Ron: Not much Harry, it just describes magical creatures, but we already know a lot.
Harry and Hermione didn't say anything but for it was an important book since they grew up in the muggle world they didn't know anything about magical creatures until they came to Hogwarts.
Hermione: I have a hypothesis of what the monster is but I need to connect some dots.
Harry: We'll see later we must go with Hagrid, maybe he's not responsible but he can give us clues.
Hermione in her mind remembered the reason why she had that book, she had seen Sasuke Uchiha with that book when they showed up at the library at the beginning of the school year, so she decided to borrow a copy from the library to read it too, she could already to be interesting.
--------------
On the other hand, Sasuke found out that the victim was a Ravenclaw student, the other students began to comment on it, also that the previous victims were from Gryffindor and Hufflpeuff, all mudbloods, that is why they were calm because they were purebloods.
Some of the Slytherins were nervous but they didn't show it, they were afraid because they are half-breeds.
Others, instead of Slytherin, openly showed their support for the heir who is purifying the school, but when they looked at Sasuke they didn't say anything but in their thoughts they prayed that he was the next victim.
The next day, everyone in the great hall was discussing what happened the night Rubeus Hagrid was arrested by the Ministry of Magic and taken to Azkaban on suspicion of being Slytherin's heir.
Theories began to be heard that he was guilty, others that he was innocent, and that he is using it as a cover.
They also commented on the suspension of the director Albus Dumbledore due to what happened with the chamber of secrets.
----------
The days passed and the teachers took security measures, such as escorting the students to the classes, the curfew will be two hours earlier than usual.
In herbology class Ernie Macmillan approached Harry Potter.
Ernie Macmillan: I just want you to know, Harry, I'm sorry I suspected you. I know you would never let anything happen to Hagrid and I want to apologize for everything I said. Now we are in the same boat and..., well...
He reached out a plump hand and Harry shook it.
Ernie and his friend Hannah went to work in the same fig tree as Ron and Harry.
Ernie Macmillan: That Sasuke Uchiha guy. He walks by himself like he's not afraid of the heir, you know, I think he might be the heir to Slytherin.
Ron: This shows you're smart, Ernie.
Ernie Macmillan: Do you think it's Uchiha, Harry?
Harry: I don't know
Hermione: It's not.
The trio left the Herbology class and began to discuss what happened in class.
Ron: It's clear, Uchiha is the heir to Slytherin.
Hermione: It's not Ron, he's a muggle born like me.
Harry: Hermione the chamber of secrets was never opened last year but Uchiha comes to Hogwarts and opens you don't think it's suspicious.
Hermione: As I said, he's a muggle-born, not a pureblood, so he's not the heir to Slytherin.
Ron: but...
Hermione: We don't have time to speculate, we have to follow the clue that Hagrid gave us, if he confirms my suspicions we'll catch Slytherin's heir soon.
4 hours later:
Harry, Ron and Hermione walked through the halls of the castle completely exhausted, they had been running for their lives while escaping from the acromantulas and thanks to Mr. Weasley's flying car they managed to save themselves.
Hermione: everything fits, the spiders run from him, the dead roosters, the voice you heard, the monster in the chamber of secrets is a basilisk.
Hermione, seeing their doubtful faces, takes out of her pocket a sheet that contained a copy of the chapter that talks about the basilisk.
"Of the many fearsome beasts and terrifying monsters that roam our land, there is none more amazing or deadlier than the basilisk, known as the king of serpents. This snake, which can reach a gigantic size and whose life lasts several centuries, is born from a chicken egg hatched by a toad. Its methods of killing are most extraordinary, for in addition to its deadly poisonous fangs, the basilisk kills with its gaze, and all who gaze upon the gleam of its eyes must suffer instant death. The spiders flee from the basilisk, since this is its mortal enemy, and the basilisk only flees from the rooster's crowing, which for it is deadly."
Ron: but how come no one has seen it?
Harry: but hasn't anyone died?
Hermione: He used the pipes, that's why you heard voices as if they were coming from the walls, and I think the reason nobody died is because nobody saw him directly in the eye, remember when we found Mrs. Norris the floor was flooded.
Harry: Justin must have seen it through Nick.
Ron: Creevey saw it through his camera, he's always with her now.
But suddenly they heard the teachers running down the corridor, they followed them and hid behind the wall to listen to what they were saying.
Minerva Mcgonagall: It has happened, a Student has been kidnapped by the monster. She has taken it to the camera.
Professor Flitwick let out a cry. Professor Sprout covered her
Mouth with hands. Snape gripped the back of a chair and
Asked:
Snape: Are you sure?
Minerva Mcgonagall: The heir of Slytherin, has left a new message, below the first: "Her bones will rest in the chamber forever."
Professor Flitwick shed a few tears.
Mrs. Hooch: Who was it? What student?
Minerva McGonagall: Ginny Weasley
After a while, Gemma Farley, prefect of Slytherin, approached the teachers.
Snape: Miss Farley.
Gemma Farley: Sasuke Uchiha has disappeared, he is not in the common room, nor in his room.
Behind the wall Harry and Hermione noticed Ron quietly drop down and crouch.
Minerva Mcgonagall: We'll have to send all the students home tomorrow. This is the end of Hogwarts. Dumbledore always said...
The door to the staff room was flung open. For a moment,
Harry was convinced that it was Dumbledore. But it was Lockhart, and he came smiling.
Lockhart: I'm sorry...I overslept...did I miss something important?
He didn't seem to notice that the other teachers were looking at him with an expression that was close to hatred. Snape took a step forward.
Snape: Here's the man. The right man. The monster has kidnapped two students, Lockhart. They have been taken to the Chamber of Secrets. At last your chance has come. Lockhart blanched.
Pomona Sprout: That's right, Gilderoy, didn't you say last night that you knew where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was?
Lockhart: I... well, I...
Filius Flitwick: Yes, and you didn't tell me you knew for sure what was inside?
Lockhart: I...? I don't remember...
Snape: Indeed, I do remember that you were sorry you didn't have a chance to face the monster before Hagrid was arrested. Were you not saying that the matter had been handled badly, and that we should have left everything in your hands from the beginning?
Lockhart looked at the stony faces of his colleagues.
Lockhart: I... I never really... You must have misunderstood me...
Minerva Mcgonagall: We'll leave it all in your hands, Gilderoy. Tonight will be an excellent occasion to carry it out. We will make sure that no one bothers you. You will be able to face the monster yourself. At last he is in your hands.
Lockhart: V-very good. I'll be in my office, pre-preparing. And he left the room.
Minerva Mcgonagall: Well, that'll get him out of the way. The Heads of Houses should now go and inform the students of what happened. Tell them the Hogwarts Express will take them home first thing tomorrow morning. To the rest of you, I beg you to take charge of making sure that there are no students outside the dormitories.
All the teachers except Snape thought that Sasuke Uchiha was the heir to Slytherin, since a certain rumor was spreading about it.
Harry, Ron were now sure that the Uchiha was the heir, Hermione doubted because a part of her told her that he was innocent and that he was kidnapped too, but she couldn't contradict them for one serious reason and another for the feelings of her heart.
---------------
4 hours before:
Sasuke walked alone through the corridors, to go to the forbidden forest to continue his training.
Sasuke always walked alone to act as bait to capture the heir, but something caught his eye.
Ginny Weasley walked around with a blank look as if she was in a genjutsu.
This caught his attention, so he decides to follow her without alerting her to his presence, while she went to the Weeping Myrtle's bathrooms.
Sasuke in his mind this is weird, those baths are supposed to be in disuse due to the presence of Myrtle's ghost.
Ginny entered the bathroom first, Sasuke who was following her opened the door slowly to see what was happening.
Then he saw how the washes moved, revealing a hole.
Ginny jumps into the hole and disappears.
Sasuke notes that the washes are returning to their starting position.
Sasuke writes a quick note and also enters the hole.
The note that he had left on the floor starts to burn out of nowhere, this is because the entrance to the secret chamber has protection spells.
Sasuke landed on the ground safely, as he looked around but what he saw were rat bones, birds, he also found snake skin,
Sasuke in his mind said to himself then the monster is a basilisk, I'll have to fight I don't have any rooster on hand to finish it off quickly and easily.
Sasuke had sharpened his senses so he could hear if the basilisk was nearby but detected nothing, so he entered the chamber moving silently to find Weasley and the basilisk.
As he walked he saw that this was some kind of labyrinth but he decided to go ahead trusting his good memory when he needed to return to the starting point.
10 minutes later:
Sasuke had been touring the place until he found an open circular metal door adorned with snakes. Upon entering he saw a large room, illuminated by torches, also the head of a statue that most likely represented Salazar Slytherin.
And just below her was Ginny, lying on the ground without moving.
Sasuke went over to check if he was still alive, so he took his pulse.
Sasuke in her mind is still alive.
Sasuke: Weasley, wake up, wake up!
Someone appears from behind the statue and says: "won't wake up"
Tom: I did not expect to see you here, I thought that the famous Harry Potter would come to rescue his friend's sister.
Sasuke: so you are responsible for this, the famous heir of Slytherin.
Tom: wow you are smart
Sasuke: but who are you, you're not a Slytherin house student despite wearing our uniform, I've never seen you.
Tom: I'm a former Slytherin student but not like you who has stained the hallowed house of Salazar Slytherin, I've heard a bit about you from Ginny, mudblood.
Sasuke: I see, tell me what you did to him because Weasley doesn't wake up.
Tom: Well, that's an interesting question. It is a long story. I guess the real reason Ginny is like this is that she opened her heart and revealed all her secrets to an invisible stranger.
Sasuke: What are you talking about?
Tom: From the diary, From my diary. Little Ginny has been writing in it for many months, telling me all her sorrows and sorrows: how her brothers made fun of her, how she had to come to school in second-hand tunics and books, how... she thought the famous, the good, the great Harry Potter would never come to love her... It's a pain to have to listen to the nonsense of an eleven-year-old girl. But I armed myself with patience. I answered him in writing. I was understanding, I was kind. Ginny just adored me: No one has ever understood me like you Tom... I'm so glad I can trust this diary... It's like having a friend you can carry in your pocket.
Tom: If it is necessary for me to say so, the truth is that I have always fascinated the people who have suited me. So Ginny opened her soul to me, and it was her soul that I wanted. I grew stronger by feeding on her fears and her deep secrets. I became more powerful, much more than little Miss Weasley. Powerful enough to start feeding Miss Weasley some of my own secrets, to start giving her a bit of my soul.
Sasuke: You controlled her, so she would follow your orders.
Tom: Yes, since it was Ginny Weasley who opened the Chamber of Secrets. She wrung the necks of the school roosters and daubed scary messages on the walls. She cast the Slytherin snake against the four Mudbloods and the squib cat.
Sasuke: you mean basilisk
Tom: correct it seems that you have investigated well, at first she did not know what she was doing. It was fun. I wish you could have seen the journal entries she made... They became so much more interesting... Dear Tom, I think I'm losing my memory. I have found rooster feathers in my tunic and I don't know why they are there. Dear Tom, I don't remember what I did on Halloween night, but a cat has been attacked and I have paint stains on my robe. Dear Tom, Percy keeps telling me that I look pale and don't look like me. I think he suspects me... There was another attack today and I don't know where I was at the time. What am I going to do, Tom? I think I'm going crazy. I think I'm the one attacking everyone, Tom!
Sasuke: Enough talking so tell me your full name Tom.
Tom: how impatient, but I'll give you the pleasure.
Tom took a wand from his pocket and wrote in the air.
TOM SORVOLO RYDDLE
Then he waved his wand again, and the letters changed places:
I AM LORD VOLDEMORT
Tom: Do you think I was going to always use my dirty muggle name? I, who am a descendant of Salazar Slytherin himself, on my mother's side? Me to keep the name of a common Muggle who left me before I was born, just because he found out that his wife was a witch? No, Uchiha. I gave myself a new name, a name I knew all wizards would fear to utter one day, when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world!
Sasuke: Voldemort, how strange I don't feel afraid when pronouncing that name.
Tom: you're making fun of me, mudblood.
Sasuke: who knows, tell me how to wake her up.
Tom: do you think I'll tell you
Sasuke: well, it doesn't matter, I just have to hand you over to the teachers so you can confess.
Tom smiles and looks at Slytherin's face, Riddle opened his mouth and whistled...
Sasuke recognized it as what Potter did at the dueling club, he was speaking Parseltongue.
"Speak to me, Slytherin, greatest of the Hogwarts Four"
The statue opened the mouth from which the Basilisk came out.
Sasuke looked down at the ground to avoid the basilisk's gaze.
"kill him"
Sasuke jumped back, pointing his wand.
Tom: what a fool, you think you can defeat the king of snakes with a wand.
Sasuke without wasting time casts a spell on the basilisk.
Sasuke: "Bombard"
The basilisk didn't flinch at the explosive spell and lunged at Sasuke.
Sasuke dodges the Basilisk's attacks by running around the chamber while casting various spells, all over the Basilisk's body.
Sasuke: "bombard" "bombard" "bombard" "bombard"
Sasuke puts his wand away, and is about to throw several Shuriken at the basilisk but they end up bouncing off the basilisk's body.
Tom: useless, don't you know that the skin of the basilisk is almost as hard as the skin of the dragon.
Sasuke smiles and has an idea, so he proceeds to run in the direction of the tunnels.
Tom: chase him.
The basilisk leaves the chamber to chase its prey, it knows it is close by following its scent.
The basilisk traveled several meters until it reached where its prey was waiting for it.
The Basilisk looked for his gaze but something left him puzzled, his prey was looking directly into his eyes, something that should be impossible for other creatures except other basilisks, his eyes were a color he had never seen before, they were red.
Sasuke was sure that the Sharingan, the most powerful eyes in the ninja world, would be invincible before the gaze of a basilisk.
Sasuke performs a set of seals and his hands hit the floor.
Sasuke: Doton: Renga no Jutsu (Earth Release: Earth Wall Jutsu)
Multiple walls begin to rise from the floor, trapping the basilisk.
The basilisk was trapped, and it was writhing to free itself, the walls beginning to crack.
Seeing this, Sasuke summons his katana and lightning starts to come out of the hand that was holding it.
Sasuke: "chidori"
The basilisk's instincts were on alert, he felt that he was facing a predator and he was the prey.
Sasuke disappeared from her sight but then she felt a sharp pain through her neck.
The chidori-wrapped katana was decapitating the basilisk slowly as it cried out in agony.
Sasuke with his katana cuts the fangs of the basilisk to later sell them with Burgin so he keeps them in a storage scroll.
Tom was waiting for the basilisk to return, but the one that returned was Sasuke Uchiha.
Tom couldn't believe that this mudblood had defeated his basilisk.
Tom in his desperation called the basilisk speaking in Parseltongue, but no one showed up.
Tom: damn you killed my basilisk.
Sasuke: Now it's your turn.
Sasuke takes out his wand.
Tom: If I want things to go well I have to do them myself.
Sasuke waves his wand and points at Tom.
Sasuke: "Petrificus totalus"
Tom with a wave of his wand deflects the spell.
Tom: "Crucio"
Sasuke moves to the side to dodge the spell and proceeds to cast various spells.
"Jinx", "Desmiaus", "Tarantallegra", "Depulso"
Tom easily blocks Sasuke's spells.
Sasuke in his mind says he is more skilled than he expected.
Sasuke points his wand again and says "Aviectum ignis"
Tom smiles and also says "Aviectum ignis"
Their respective flamethrowers come out of their wands, they both intercept each other but after a few seconds Sasuke's spell recedes.
Sasuke seeing this cancels his spell and moves to the side to dodge it.
Tom: Let's see if you can continue to dodge
Tom points his wand and casts his spell
Tom: Avada Kedabra
Sasuke's instincts alert him to dodge that spell, Sasuke jumps and dodges it but Tom's wand keeps coming out of the killing curse.
Sasuke puts his wand away, and pulls out a knife. This action surprises Tom, who stops.
Sasuke: Now let's level up
