Harry, Riddle and Su Xingchen couldn't help but look at it.

Without thinking or hesitation, Harry raised his arm and plunged the fangs into the center of the diary.

Following a terrifying scream that could pierce the eardrums, streams of black ink gushed out from the diary, emitting a bloody stench.

Riddle, the only one standing among the three, had a distorted face. He kept struggling and screaming. He took two steps towards Su Xingchen, and then... disappeared.

With a "click", a wand fell to the ground.

Su Xingchen woke up from his fright, stumbled to his feet and walked towards the entrance of the secret room.

She wanted to run, but she couldn't. At this moment, she had only one belief in her heart: faster, faster.

As long as we leave the secret room, there will be enough time.

After being healed by the Phoenix Tears, Harry's wounds had healed. He threw down the diary and took two or three steps forward to support Su Xingchen, who looked shaky.

"Xingchen, how are you?"

Su Xingchen held Harry's hand tightly, like a drowning person grabbing a piece of driftwood, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"I can't walk, Harry, get me out of the Chamber of Secrets, quick!"

Without any hesitation, Harry pulled Su Xingchen's arm and ran towards the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets.

In just a short while, he felt that Su Xingchen was even more blurry than before. He ran very fast, almost completely dragging Su Xingchen along.

Su Xingchen was glad that she was now a ghost and had no weight, otherwise Harry would not be able to run so fast while dragging a person.

Oh, not completely weightless, she might weigh, twenty-one grams.

In less than a minute, Harry took Su Xingchen out of the Chamber of Secrets and helped her sit down in the passage leading to the entrance of the Chamber of Secrets.

"Xingchen, how do you feel?" Harry was a little anxious and had many doubts in his mind.

Su Xingchen didn't know if Riddle's attack had penetrated her body, but she still felt uncomfortable all over. However, she had finally left the secret room, and the frequency of her body's flashing had visibly slowed down, so she was no longer so panicked.

"Go back quickly, Ginny is still in there, bring her out." But don't forget the main task.

"Are you okay?" Harry asked worriedly.

Su Xingchen nodded weakly. She felt very tired after a whole night.

"Wait for me." Harry said, and quickly stood up and ran to the Chamber of Secrets.

Watching Harry's back getting farther and farther away, Su Xingchen thought that this kid was really energetic. She also thought that being the protagonist was not a job that ordinary people could do.

Then, he fell into a deep sleep.

When Harry reached Ginny, she was already awake.

Her eyes fell on the huge snake corpse, then on Harry's bloodstained robes, and finally on the diary that Harry had picked up and held in his hands.

Ginny shuddered. "Harry, I want to tell you, but I can't. I can't tell you I did it. But I swear I didn't mean to. Riddle had the upper hand over me."

"Ginny, it's okay, Riddle is dead." Harry helped Ginny to her feet.

"I'm going to be expelled." Ginny was heartbroken.

"Listen to me, Ginny, we have to leave here quickly." Harry was very worried about Su Xingchen's situation. He patiently comforted Ginny and urged her to leave quickly.

Harry supported the crying Ginny back into the tunnel again. He heard the two stone doors behind him close gently with a click.

When he looked towards where Su Xingchen was, there was no trace of her.

Harry panicked. He let go of Ginny, looked around and called out Su Xingchen's name, but there was nothing in the tunnel except his empty echo.

Su Xingchen had a dream.

There was nothing in the dream, only endless darkness.

She was so scared that she kept running.

She cried and shouted: Mom, Dad, Brother... over and over again.

No one responded to her.

She also had no direction and eventually became exhausted.

When I was feeling desperate, an exit seemed to appear in the distance, and light shone from inside.

She ran towards the exit with all her might. The exit was getting closer and the light was getting brighter.

Su Xingchen slowly opened his eyes, and a light flickered in front of him, looking like a pair of uniquely shaped glasses.

"you're awake."

Although he felt a little dizzy, Su Xingchen recognized that this was the Hogwarts Hospital and the owner of the unique glasses was none other than Headmaster Dumbledore.

"professor……"

Su Xingchen propped herself up halfway and found that she was the only one left in the entire ward. Hermione was originally not far away from her, but now the bed was empty.

"If you don't wake up, I think Madam Pomfrey will go crazy. Your friends will always want to storm the hospital."

"Have I...slept for a long time?" Su Xingchen was a little confused.

"Three days, compared to others who woke up immediately after using the Mandrake potion."

Su Xingchen only remembered that she felt very tired after Harry took her out of the Chamber of Secrets, then she fell asleep and had a dream.

"I think you must have had a wonderful journey, which is why you are so reluctant to wake up." Dumbledore said with cunning and mischief in his eyes.

Su Xingchen stroked the bracelet, and she had already connected what happened before and after.

"Is it over?" This question was asked without any reason. Su Xingchen realized it belatedly after asking it.

But Dumbledore answered her, "Yes, it is over."

Su Xingchen felt that Dumbledore seemed to know everything, but also seemed not to know everything.

She decided not to tell him what happened to her for the time being. After all, everything was just her guess.

Moreover, this was equivalent to avoiding the Avada Kedavra curse. She understood the principle that an innocent man could be guilty of possessing a treasure. Although she did not doubt Dumbledore's character, the fewer people who knew about this, the better.

"Well, I have to go find Madam Pomfrey and tell her it's okay to let your friends in. Oh, and Professor Sprout, she's been really worried about whether there's something wrong with her potion."

Su Xingchen lay down guiltily and picked up the quilt to cover half of her face. She was afraid that Dumbledore would see something.

Others were able to wake up immediately because their souls were trapped in their bodies, but it took her so long, maybe because she ran a little too far?

Not long after Dumbledore left, the door of the ward was violently pushed open from the outside, followed by a deafening scream, "Star!"

Well, Ron is still so easily excited.

The three little friends rushed over and surrounded the bed. Su Xingchen, who had just lay down, supported himself and sat up again.

"Xingchen, you scared us to death. Do you know how worried we were when you didn't wake up?"

Su Xingchen smiled faintly, "I'm fine, Ron, maybe my health is not good. After all, everyone's physical fitness is different." Su Xingchen, who was as strong as a bull, spoke nonsense seriously.

"So that's how it is." Ron was not without doubt, but Su Xingchen spoke too seriously, giving people the feeling that it was just like that.

"Xingchen, are you really okay? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Hermione held her hand with a worried look on her face. "Your hands are a little cold."

God knows how panicked she felt when she woke up and saw her petrified classmates and Mrs. Loris "resurrected" one by one, while Su Xingchen didn't react at all.

She was worried that the professors were mistaken and that the stars were not just petrified. Although that was almost impossible, it did not stop her from having wild thoughts.

But then she couldn't stay, as Madam Pomfrey had kicked out everyone who had woken up, saying they had recovered.

"I'm really fine." Su Xingchen smiled and shook Hermione's hand. "How about you?"

Hermione shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

Where did you go that day?

Harry was still terrified. He could never forget the moment Riddle shot Su Xingchen through his body. Especially when everyone else woke up but Xingchen remained unresponsive, the fear of Xingchen disappearing when he left the Chamber of Secrets and never being able to find her continued to haunt him.

"I saw the basilisk's eyes from a small puddle of water in the corridor that day." Su Xingchen quickly interrupted him.

Harry keenly noticed that Su Xingchen didn't want to talk about what happened in the Chamber of Secrets, at least not in front of everyone.

Seeing that Harry had indeed shut up, Su Xingchen couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.

"But we didn't seem to see any traces of water that day." Ron wondered.

"It may be that you were too anxious to notice when you heard the news that I was petrified, or it may have dried up and it's just a very small water mark." Su Xingchen continued to talk nonsense and gestured a very small distance with his fingers.

"That makes sense. Harry and I were really scared to death by you that day." Ron nodded in agreement.

Harry watched Su Xingchen seriously deceiving Ron, and for some reason he felt relieved. Although he had many doubts, the fact that everyone was safe was the best thing that could happen.

As for his questions, he would find an opportunity to ask them clearly.

"Xingchen, can you be discharged from the hospital today?" Hermione asked. Everyone was kicked out of the ward on the day they woke up.

"Madam Pomfrey told me to stay here for observation tonight. After all, I slept a few days longer than the others."

Su Xingchen was helpless. She didn't want to stay in the hospital. A large ward with many beds like the one at Hogwarts was really scary at night. It was a must-have for horror movies, but Madam Pomfrey refused to agree no matter what.

"Madam Pomfrey has a point." Hermione agreed. Xingchen was indeed a little different from everyone else. It might be related to her family's secret magic.

After a while, Madam Pomfrey came to chase people away. She was such a responsible and good doctor.

Although Headmaster Dumbledore said they could be allowed in, just one look would be enough, Madam Pomfrey thought.

Night falls.

Su Xingchen was hiding under the quilt in the ward and shivering. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. The voice was very familiar. She pulled the quilt down a little to reveal her eyes.

"Harry?"

Seeing the familiar face, Su Xingchen finally poked his head out from under the quilt.

This kid is really curious!
