Chapter 49 Modifying Memory
Cyrus took advantage of Draco's weakness and completely controlled his body.
But he did not immediately launch an attack with the basilisk. Compared with the attack, he now has more important things to do.
Through the conversation with Draco, he already knew that it was the house-elf Dobby who stole the diary and sent it to Draco. Now, Ginny still has memories of the diary in her mind. If this memory is discovered by Dumbledore, then I am afraid that he will have nowhere to hide.
"We must know whether Ginny has revealed the diary, and then modify all their memories!"
Cyrus did not plan to go back to Ginny for the time being. With the current situation, there is actually no need to follow the original plot. As long as there is not much difference in general, it is enough to take Ginny to the secret chamber in the end and fake the illusion that he is going to face Harry Potter face to face.
Now, he must find an opportunity and act quickly.
However, that being said-
It is another matter to be disarmed by Harry, Hermione and Ginny at the beginning.
A few minutes ago, Cyrus was about to go find Ginny, but he didn't expect that he would meet four people who had been lying in ambush here as soon as he turned a corner after leaving the door of the common room.
Four voices shouted "Expelliarmus" together, and Ron's wand backfired and blew him away on the spot. The other three spells flew towards Cyrus, knocking the hawthorn wood wand in his hand away.
In fact, Cyrus was not really powerless to resist. Even if his wand was knocked away, he could still cast magic, but now he had other ideas.
"Malfoy! Return Ginny's diary!" Hermione said rudely, as if she would punch him if he didn't hand over the diary.
"Hurry up! Otherwise, I will let you taste the taste of slugs!" Ginny was more irritable than Hermione, "Don't try to quibble, Harry saw you take out the diary during class!"
Ron, whose butt was broken into eight pieces, also hurriedly got up and stood aside with a pretentious look.
On Valentine's Day, Harry saw Malfoy writing something in a black book. He didn't pay much attention to it at that time, but after seeing Ginny, he remembered the diary. After that, he observed for several days and finally confirmed that Malfoy was holding the diary that Ginny had lost. So there was this scene at the moment.
However, looking at the three wands against his chin at the moment, Cyrus was not panicked at all.
"Wait, wait - I'm not Malfoy!" Cyrus looked at Ginny sincerely, and then lowered his voice, "It's me, Riddle!"
"Mr. Riddle?" Ginny immediately put down the wand and said in a surprised and happy voice, "How did you - you possessed Malfoy?"
"Oh - so, you are, Tom Riddle?" Hermione and her two stupid sons showed strange expressions on their faces. It was really Cyrus who was holding Malfoy's face, and no matter what he said, it was not credible.
"That's right." Cyrus nodded, "Remember when we went to Snape's place to steal the ingredients for the Polyjuice Potion? I was the one who possessed Ginny at that time."
"Is it really you?" Ron said in surprise, "But how did you end up in Malfoy's hands?"
"We all thought that the heir had stolen you." Harry said puzzledly, "Malfoy is neither the heir nor does he know who the heir is. Why did he steal you?"
"Because he wants to help the heir." Cyrus explained.
"He didn't know who the heir was, but he found out that I was looking for the heir, and he also found out that I was not Ginny, but a memory in the diary, so he tried to steal the diary. But he didn't expect that I could control his body by force."
Hearing this, Hermione frowned immediately, as if she felt that Cyrus's method was too evil, but Harry and Ron were very happy.
"I have to say, although it's the same face, you look much better than Malfoy." Ron came up carelessly, put his arm around his shoulder, and then lowered his voice, "I heard that you helped Ginny with her homework?"
"There were a few times when I thought she didn't need to do those homework, what's wrong?"
"I mean - I have a lot of homework too!"
"Ron!" Hermione pulled Ron away from Cyrus angrily.
Harry and Ginny were still around him, and Ginny suddenly showed a sad expression.
"But if you control Malfoy, why don't you come to me?"
Cyrus wanted to say that he was going to find her and modify their memories. But when the words came to his lips, he turned into another look:
"This is too dangerous! I think the heir has discovered my existence. It's just that he hasn't realized where I'm hiding. If I come back to you, you might be involved in danger. And I'm using Malfoy's body, so don't worry, no one will think he is the enemy of the heir."
"I'm not afraid of danger!" Ginny said firmly.
"We are not afraid either." Harry also said immediately, hoping that this "Mr. Riddle" could provide him with some useful information.
"Actually, I'm a little scared..." Ron wanted to say this, but looking at his sister and good brother, he swallowed the words back.
"I know you are all very brave, but -"
"But one person can't find the murderer, right?" Hermione interrupted him, "We can help, you've worked with us, you know!"
Cyrus looked at her for a long time, then nodded helplessly.
"Okay, I agree to your joining, but before that, I have to make it clear first-Ginny, you didn't tell anyone else about the diary, right?"
"No, I only told Hermione and the others."
"Very good, now I have to change your memory, erase this part of the diary, and replace it with something else." Cyrus said, "I know you will never get rid of my secret, but the heir may use Legilimency to find the answer from your memory. If he finds out my true identity, it will be too easy for him to kill me."
Cyrus took the wand back from Harry.
"Promise to only modify the memory of the diary, not to make us forget everything!" Ginny looked at him stubbornly, fearing that this was just a lie Cyrus told to make them forget everything and stay away from danger.
"I promise, only modifications!"
