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."T/his chapter is updated by

    "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.
