Watch Hogwarts video, Voldemort's death

With the death of Tom Riddle, the power absorbed by it returned to Ginny's body.

With a soft moan, Ginny silently opened her eyes.

Ron hurried over to help his sister up, and asked with concern: "Ginny, are you okay?"

Ginny looked around blankly. She looked at her brother beside her, then looked at Hermione, Harry, and Zhang Dong on the side, and finally her eyes stayed on the huge basilisk on the side.

"Ah!"

Ginny screamed, and then subconsciously hid behind Zhang Dong.

Yeah.

She also knew who was the thigh among the four people. If she hid behind others, it would not be seeking help, but harming them.

Looking at the frightened Ginny, Zhang Dong pulled her out with a smile and said gently: "Don't worry, this guy is a little scary, but he is still very obedient."

Zhang Dong hooked his finger at the basilisk, and the basilisk obediently lay in front of Zhang Dong and gently rubbed Zhang Dong's palm with its big head. Zhang Dong touched the snake head, and then said to Ginny and the others:

"Do you want to touch it? It feels good."

Looking at the enthusiastic Zhang Dong, the two girls Hermione and Ginny shook their heads quickly. They were not interested in the basilisk 013.

Ron and Harry curiously reached out and touched the basilisk. Seeing that the basilisk really did not resist, the two of them continued to touch it excitedly.

Especially Ron, he said to Zhang Dong excitedly: "I actually touched a thousand-year-old basilisk! When I go back, I must tell Fred and Fred, I can't wait to see their expressions!"

Harry also nodded continuously, then silently picked up the Sorting Hat and tried to insert the Gryffindor sword that had been pulled out.

Behind Zhang Dong, Ginny, who had come out of her fear of the basilisk, suddenly thought of something, and her tears fell:

"Yes... I'm sorry... I've always wanted to tell you... The diary has always been with me... But every time I want to tell you about the diary, I can't say anything... I didn't mean to... Riddle forced me to do it... By the way... Where is he?"

Ginny looked around, she didn't see the diary, nor did she see Tom Riddle.

Looking at the guilty Ginny, Ron comforted her: "It's okay now, Tom Riddle and his diary are gone! It was Zhang Dong who did it! He saved you and us."

Listening to Ron's words, Ginny quickly looked at Zhang Dong, her big eyes still hanging with tears full of gratitude.

She didn't expect that when she was most helpless, it would be this senior who only met once who saved her.

And Zhang Dong just waved his hand indifferently and said: "It's okay, even without me, you will be fine."

Zhang Dong was telling the truth. Without him, Harry and the others could still defeat Voldemort according to the original timeline.

It was just that Voldemort at that time didn't know whether he was brainless or too proud. He stood there with his wand for a long time and wanted to let the snake bite Harry to death. He waited until the basilisk died before he remembered the wand in his hand and was ready to attack.

Then he was stabbed to death by Harry's snake fang on the spot, and his speechlessness was almost as bad as Quirrell who cast a wandless spell with blazing flames but wanted to strangle Harry last year.

"Let's go, we should go out too."

Zhang Dong looked at the people around him, and then decided to take everyone away. The few people naturally had no objection. Although the basilisk would not hurt them, the gloomy atmosphere here did make these little lions very uncomfortable.

When the few people came to the door, Dumbledore was already waiting here with the four deans.

"Welcome back, children." Dumbledore smiled kindly, and Professor McGonagall beside him finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I watched the whole process from the light screen, I was still a little scared without seeing it with my own eyes.

Professor McGonagall calmed down her excitement, then looked at Zhang Dong and said: (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"Zhang Dong, sometimes I really want to know how powerful you are now."

"I want to know too." Dumbledore also said with a smile: "Tom was once the most outstanding student in Hogwarts, but today, this title may have to be changed to another owner."

Listening to Dumbledore's words, Zhang Dong said helplessly: "This title does not belong to Tom, have you forgotten your Senior? As for my current strength... you may have to wait until Voldemort is truly resurrected to know. "

"It would be better if that day didn't come." Dumbledore reached out to take Fawkes, then turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "I think the children should be tired after going through so much. Professor McGonagall, please take them back first. As for Zhang Dong, I have something to talk to him about."

"Okay, Albus." Professor McGonagall glanced at Zhang Dong, then waved Ginny and Hermione and took them away.

Before leaving, Harry returned the Gryffindor sword and the Sorting Hat to Dumbledore. He was a little reluctant when he returned them. I just drew my sword and the battle was over. I always wanted to cut something.

Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout also left. Only Snape looked at Zhang Dong first, then looked at Dumbledore and said, "I still have to remind you, don't forget to deal with the basilisk. This is a big trouble."

"Don't worry, Severus. I believe Hagrid will be happy to take care of it."

"It belongs to our Slytherin!"

"That was in the past. Now it belongs to Zhang Dong."

Snape looked at Dumbledore in front of him speechlessly. Belongs to Zhang Dong? You are really generous.

He subconsciously wanted to argue, but thinking of what Dumbledore said to him after Ariana was resurrected two days ago, he just took a deep breath and turned around and left here.

After seeing everyone leave, Albus happily put the sword of Gryffindor back into the Sorting Hat. After inserting it, he handed the Sorting Hat to Zhang Dong and said:

"Do you want to give it a try?"

"Me?" Zhang Dong took the Sorting Hat and reached into it to dig around. Unfortunately, there was nothing but air. []

Zhang Dong returned the Sorting Hat to Dumbledore, and Dumbledore said with some regret: "In fact, I would rather see you pull out the sword of Gryffindor than Harry."

"Unfortunately, I still can't pull it out. Although I have fought Voldemort alone, am I not brave enough?"

"Zhang Dong, bravery is a kind of strength, but it is not the strength of the body and magic, but the strength of the mind and soul. Defeating a strong enemy is not bravery, but facing fear and overcoming it is bravery."

Facing fear and overcoming it?

Listening to Dumbledore's words, Zhang Dong rolled his eyes helplessly: "Then, I'm afraid I will never have the chance to draw this sword in my lifetime."

"Is it because you can't overcome fear?"

"Because there is nothing that can scare me anymore."

Dumbledore...

This really makes sense. .
