Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

A silver lighter caught his attention, which was the Deluminator left by Dumbledore to Ron.

Harry didn't know why Dumbledore wanted this thing for Ron!

This thing didn't help them in any way, just like the golden snitch Dumbledore left him. Is this extinguisher just a simple extinguisher, a souvenir?

What's the point?Thinking irritably, Harry reached for the Deluminator, and with a click, he just opened the lid, and a white ball of light floated out of it, which was the light source stored inside.

A white ball of light floated slowly in front of Harry.

"This extinguisher is very ingenious. It was made by Dumbledore himself. In addition to storing light sources, it also seems to have the function of guiding the lost people." Hermione said with a sob.

"But it can't help Ron, no one can help Ron out of the darkness..."

"Perhaps, I can help this boy!" At this moment, a lazy voice suddenly sounded beside Harry and Hermione.

In the dim room, the two were surprised to see a vague figure of a teenager appearing next to them. He had black hair, dark eyes, and a pale face. He was very handsome, well-behaved, gentle and polite.

But Harry and Hermione had a creepy feeling.

This is 15-year-old Tom Riddle, the boy Voldemort.

"Where did you come from?" Harry asked quickly, his right hand resting on his wand at his waist.

"I've been following you, but you didn't notice it," Riddle said.

"how is this possible……"

"With all due respect, Harry Potter, although Dumbledore chose you, you really don't have much talent in magic. You may become a qualified wizard in the future, but you are definitely not a powerful wizard. Because you don't have enough curiosity." Riddle said politely, "Dumbledore gave you the Golden Snitch, but you never thought of opening it to see what's inside."

"You were in that snitch?" Harry said in surprise.

"To be precise, the resurrection stone is inside that snitch."

"But why?"

"Dumbledore probably thinks that I can help you at the last moment." Riddle said meaningfully.

"How can you help me?" Harry demanded.

"That's hard to say, Dumbledore has always had his own thoughts, and he has no habit of sharing them with others." Riddle said, "But judging from the current situation, I may be able to help you save this boy."

"Can you save Ron?"

"You two, don't look at me like that. I'm just saying it's possible." Riddle pointed to Ron, "This boy has a fragment of Voldemort's soul, which is a Horcrux. It's attached to his soul." , cannot be cleared, because once it is cleared, it is equivalent to erasing the boy's soul, in a popular sense, it is killing him. But I am familiar with the principle of the Horcrux, and its power is of the same quality, and I can enter Go to the boy's soul and clear it without harming the soul."

"Are you serious?" said Harry excitedly. "Ron can still be saved."

He couldn't believe that Ron was still saved!It doesn't matter if the man who saved him was Tom Riddle, a young Voldemort.

"Pay attention to my wording. There is a possibility, but there is no guarantee of success." Riddle continued. "In fact, in my opinion, failure is more likely. I have never cast this kind of magic , and the biggest problem is that the soul fragments in his body were separated from the main soul later than mine, do you know what this means?"

There was a brief silence, and Hermione said, "It means that it is stronger than you?"

"Yes, our minds are the same, but it has more knowledge and power than me. It knows everything about me, but I don't know everything about it. This battle is difficult, almost no The possibility of victory." Riddle said softly.

"We can help you with anything you ask us to do!" Harry exclaimed.In any case, he will not give up this opportunity.

Even if, as Riddle said, the possibility is very low, he is willing to try.This was their last chance, and Harry was willing to try like a drowning man clung to the last straw.Even if it fails, it's better than just waiting for Ron to die.

Chapter 1729 Save Ron

"You can't help me, but fortunately, the battlefield of this battle is the soul of this boy, where he is the supreme master." Riddle continued, "The only one who can help me is himself, you can Simply understand this matter as, if he and I can defeat another stronger Riddle, then this boy will still be saved."

"No problem, Ron is strong, he is a qualified Gryffindor."

"You two will surely win."

"I'm not as optimistic as you are." Riddle shook his head, "Gryffindor? In my eyes, it's just a synonym for stupidity. Please forgive my bluntness. Although this academy occasionally has amazing people, But most people are dumb, unwieldy fools who fight only by roaring, using wands as swords, and using disarming spells or stun spells over and over again, as if they don't know any other magic. Unfortunately, the bed This boy is one of them, he is no different from the fools I have seen, and I have no doubt that even if you let him study for seven years, he will know no more than I did when I was in the first grade."

Riddle's poisonous tongue was not inferior to Snape's.

The two of them definitely have a lot in common!

Had it been another occasion, Harry would have definitely refuted it harshly, but now, they were all counting on Riddle in front of them.

He is the soul fragment that Voldemort accidentally peeled off from the main soul when he was 15 years old. According to what Dumbledore and Ivan said before, it is the collection of all Voldemort's good thoughts and conscience.

Harry wondered, did Voldemort ever have kindness and conscience?Even when he was still Riddle, from the many memories Dumbledore showed him, Harry knew that Voldemort already had strong malice when he was a child, and he knew how to take revenge on other children.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but blurted out, "Why are you willing to help us?"

"Considering the promise made to me by Dumbledore and Evan Mason, in a sense, I am on the same front with you. I hope you can win and eliminate the main soul. Of course, after a while, if you don't Enemy, I won't fight recklessly, this matter must be explained first." Riddle smiled and said politely, "There are no other problems, then I will enter his soul. "

He stretched out his hand, and the white ball of light that had been floating in mid-air slowly flew towards his palm.

Between the changes of light and shadow, his body began to become blurred.

"Dumbledore's magic will guide the boy's soul consciousness, and he will be the real protagonist in the next battle." Riddle paused, "By the way, what is the boy's name?"

"Ron Weasley!"

"Okay, Ron Weasley, champion of Gryffindor, I hope you won't disappoint me next."

Riddle's body completely disappeared, and the white ball of light flew towards Ron.

It wobbled, flew around Ron, and finally flew into his ear.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other, and hurried out to call all the members of the Order of the Phoenix over.

……

Darkness, endless darkness.

Ron stared blankly at the darkness ahead, feeling as if he had lost all sense.

He stayed here motionless like a stranded ship.

Not even time worked, and Ron didn't know what he was thinking.

Just like that, he was stuck, without thought, without perception, without meaning.

He knew it was wrong to go on like this, but he didn't know what to do. At the beginning, a voice kept talking to him, telling him to go out, but he was very scared. He didn't know when it started, and he couldn't feel anything. , if possible, Ron would prefer to be swallowed by endless darkness, so that he would not have to suffer so much.

Harry and the others are going to be disappointed again.Once again he was controlled and did evil things.

Ron didn't know what his body was being controlled to do, but he could feel it.He had experienced similar experiences several times in the past few years, and he was already tired of them, but this time was exceptionally different.His heart has been filled with darkness, and a more terrifying monster is hidden deep in the darkness.There is no chance of winning, and he cannot defeat the opponent.

What's the point of continuing?

I'm afraid even Harry, Ivan and Hermione are disappointed in him.After all, time and time again, it would be anyone...

Immediately afterwards, Ron realized that he could start thinking again.Though bouts of despair or evil thoughts came over him, he could indeed think.

What exactly is going on?

A burst of hope rose in Ron's heart, and with the birth of this hope, he saw a white ball of light appear from nowhere, floating slowly in front of him.

Although the light of the ball of light is not very bright, it dispels the darkness.

Ron felt the long-lost warmth, he was able to move again, and got up from the ground.

With the help of the light, he saw that he was trapped in a stone room.

There were amazing patterns carved on the walls, and Ron looked familiar.

"Is this the temple of the centaurs?" Absolutely yes, a few years ago when Sirius took them on an adventure to the temple of the centaurs, Ron vividly recalled that night countless times.

That time, he encountered a terrifying giant spider.Ron still remembered that in the centaur temple, those giant arachnids were everywhere, densely packed, there were thousands of them, they rushed towards him and tore him mercilessly.

Ron shuddered, so, will there be acromantula waiting for him in front of him?

Or, a more terrifying monster?Was it the owner of the voice that lured him out in the first place?

Ron didn't know anything about it, the white ball of light floated forward, he hurriedly followed, passed through a hidden stone door and came to an empty corridor, the stone walls on both sides were also carved with terrible monsters, They are all created by evil gods!

Compared with them, Acromantus can only be described as docile.

Ron didn't know where the ball of light was going to guide him, so he moved forward tremblingly, not daring to be left behind. Outside the light of the ball of white light, darkness occupied the entire space, choosing and devouring people.After walking for a while, he remembered that he didn't have a wand yet.

What if you are in danger?

He groped, and actually found the wand on himself, and it was the same one he used before the second year, the one Charlie had left behind, with the white unicorn hair sticking out from the front of the wand.This is really strange, isn't the wand already broken?

Why did it appear again?

Ron felt more and more strange, so he just walked forward for a long time, and came to the top of the centaur temple, and then he heard two people's conversation sounded in front, someone was there, he hurriedly speeded up step, while shouting loudly, "Harry, Ivan, Hermione, is it you? Have you come to save me?"

Chapter 1730 Riddle VS Riddle

Under the guidance of the ball of light, Ron climbed up to the last stage and came to the top of the centaur temple. It was not as dark as below, and the strange light from nowhere made everything in front of him clearly visible, but Ron felt that Did he have an illusion? He couldn't believe it.

He actually saw two identical boys standing in the square ahead.

From a distance, Ron felt an inexplicable familiarity with these two boys.They all have black hair, slender bodies, and wear Hogwarts school uniform robes...

No, it should still be different.

One of the teenagers looks more mature than the other.His body was even taller, as if he was a year older.

For some reason, Ron felt an inexplicable disgust when he saw them.

Yes, disgust!

He had felt this way before.

Ron dug out the memory buried deep in his heart, the memory he didn't want to recall.

He remembered who the two people on the opposite side were, and they were all Tom Riddle!

Ron's eyes widened, shocked, sure he'd seen it right.They were exactly the same as the Tom Riddle he had seen in Riddle's diary when he was in the second grade, and there were actually two Tom Riddles on the opposite side, Voldemort in his youth.

Moreover, they are still fighting a duel.

This was a duel he had never seen before, and the excitement was beyond imagination.

The two sides shot spells at each other, and a lot of red, blue, and green magic lights flashed.

Their casting movements and casting speeds are almost exactly the same.The battle entered a stalemate. At this moment, the short Riddle swung his wand, creating a mass of black flames. The flames burned blazingly to form a huge barrier, attacking the other Riddle with a fiery temperature.

Waving the magic wand on the opposite side, the flame barrier quickly changed into a series of fire snakes.They twisted in the air and turned to attack.

Shorty Riddle said the incantation, raised his wand high, then swung it down sharply.

With the astonishing sound of the explosion, clouds of gas burst forward quickly, blasting the Fire Serpent apart, and rushed towards the tall Riddle with great power, but his body disappeared on the spot.

He appeared behind his opponent in an instant, and dark blue magic appeared from the tip of the wand.

It was a huge water ball, and it held the short Riddle firmly in it.

The short Riddle was caught off guard by the water dungeon, and choked several times in a row.The wand in his hand quickly drew complex magic patterns one by one. Just when Ron thought he was about to die, the water prison burst and turned into countless water droplets and scattered around.

This magic seemed to consume a lot of his physical strength, and he sat on the ground panting violently.

"This is all your strength?"

Riddle gasped, but didn't respond.

"It's really disappointing. When I was 15 years old, I expected you to perform better." The tall Riddle didn't continue to attack, and raised his head high and said, "You have no chance of winning." , I know all your magic and ideas."

"You don't understand at all, we are fundamentally different!"

"I don't see a difference except that you are weaker..."

"The difference is here." The short Riddle nodded his head with his left hand and stood up, "Our souls are fundamentally different. I know what conscience, compassion, gratitude and love are. , these things you will never understand."

Riddle, across from him, let out a big laugh, really hard.

"Conscience, compassion, gratitude and love? It's ridiculous. I never thought that I would see myself say such a thing. Dumbledore has successfully brainwashed you. These weak thoughts limit you. You know, I began to wonder if you were me, I never had the memory of separating you, your birth was an accident."

"Arrogance, you are just a fragment. The main soul didn't master the Horcrux spell at all at the time, and didn't know what splitting the soul means. It's not surprising that this accident happened to me, and I think it's a good thing."

"I don't think so. Since it was an accident, it should disappear." The tall Riddle smiled.

"It is the main soul and you who will disappear, and I will have a better future."

The tip of the wand in the hand of the short Riddle was shining with red light. He turned his head and shouted to Ron who was standing aside, "Ron Weasley, how long are you going to stand stupidly and defeat him? You will be free."

"You expect that weak guy to help you, it's really depraved!"

The two Riddles fought together again, and Ron stood by, not knowing what to do.

He somewhat figured out what was going on, as long as he could defeat the tall Riddle, he would be able to break free and regain control of his body. The short Riddle came to help him.

But is this level of battle really something he can participate in?He had no experience of fighting Voldemort head-on, even if the opponent was just a student Voldemort.There was no more time for him to continue to hesitate. Under the urging of the other party, Ron joined the battle with his wand raised high, and shot a few stun spells.
