Marvel: I, Hermione, am from Hogwarts!

The basilisk clearly noticed the suddenly appearing "little guy".

It slowly lowered its head, its huge snake eyes filled with confusion.

In its eyes, this little thing wasn't even enough to fill a gap between its teeth.

Gus remained unmoved, standing quietly in place, staring back at the basilisk.

A basilisk monster taller than a person, and a cat only a fraction of its size.

This scene looks completely out of place.

Suddenly, the basilisk moved.

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw and pounced on Gus.

At this critical moment, Gus also made a move.

It opened its mouth wide...

What Tom found unbelievable happened.

Gus's mouth opened at an incredible angle, and countless tentacles stretched out from its gaping maw!

With just one bite, it pulled the entire basilisk into its belly!

A few seconds later, the enormous basilisk had completely vanished, leaving only an orange cat licking its paws, seemingly still wanting more.

Xiao Fu was dumbfounded.

"Perhaps because a cat's reaction speed is seven times that of a snake."

Hermione's voice was calm, as if she had expected this.

She walked over to Gus and gently scratched its chin.

"Good boy, spit it out."

Gus seemed somewhat reluctant, but he still obediently opened his mouth.

A huge snake head burst out of its mouth.

The snake's head continued to struggle, trying to escape.

Hermione waved her wand.

"Freeze!"

The snake's head was instantly frozen, turning into a giant ice sculpture.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

boom!

The snake's head exploded instantly, turning into countless fragments.

Chapter 101 Strange Objects: Horcruxes

Hermione picked up a snake fang from the ground and handed it to Tom.

Tom understood immediately, took the snake fang, and without hesitation stabbed it into the newly crafted diary.

"what……"

A piercing scream came from the diary, accompanied by a gush of blood.

Tom and the unconscious Harry both showed expressions of pain.

A moment later, the screams stopped.

Tom's breathing also became weaker.

"success."

Hermione said softly.

She looked at everything before her, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

Lockhart stood to the side, his face as pale as paper, his whole body trembling.

He looked at the two of them, his eyes filled with fear.

The young man in front of me is none other than Voldemort!

Hermione and he seemed to have known each other for a long time!

He finally realized that he seemed to be involved in a huge conspiracy.

He tried to escape, but found that his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move them at all.

I could only hold my breath, desperately trying to minimize my presence, and dare not make a sound.

He usually wants to be in the spotlight all the time, but now he just wants no one to notice him.

However, Hermione would not let him have his way.

She slowly turned her head and met Lockhart's horrified gaze.

……

……

A few days ago.

Mrs. Lorice's petrification site.

"Search begins. Awaiting class referee."

After leaving those words, Hermione, the most powerful wizard in the world, left without looking back, leaving Harry and Ron staring at each other in bewilderment.

As soon as I got back to the dormitory, I saw Ginny standing at the dormitory door, looking uneasy.

Upon seeing Hermione, Ginny pounced on her and grabbed her arm tightly.

"Hermione, you have to help me!"

Her face was pale, her lips trembled, and her eyes were filled with fear, as if Hermione was her last lifeline.

"I...I don't know what to do, I can't control myself..."

Hermione frowned slightly as she looked at the girl in front of her.

"Don't be afraid, Ginny, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Hermione reassured her softly, vaguely guessing what was going on.

She helped Ginny sit down on the bed and poured her a drink.

Ginny held the cup in both hands, her fingertips turning white from the force. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and began to speak haltingly.

"I...I don't know what happened, it's just...there's a diary, it...it talks to me..."

"Journal?"

"Yes, a black, very old diary. I found it in my textbook. I don't know who put it there..."

Ginny's voice grew softer and softer, trembling slightly.

"I just wrote a few lines at first, and then... and then it actually replied to me!"

"It said its name was Tom, and it said... and it said a lot of strange things. I... I felt myself getting more and more out of control, and I did a lot... a lot of terrible things..."

Ginny suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with terror.

"Mrs. Lorris...it made me do it! I didn't want to, I really didn't want to! Hermione, what should I do? I don't want to be fired..."

She gripped Hermione's hand tightly, as if trying to pull her into her own body.

Hermione understood.

It was indeed Tom Riddle's diary.

Voldemort's first Horcrux.

However, to Hermione's surprise, Ginny actually took the initiative to ask her for help.

In the original storyline, Ginny wasn't discovered by Harry until the very last moment.

“Ginny, why did you come to see me?” Hermione asked.

Ginny lowered her head and said weakly, "I...I don't dare to tell anyone. I'm afraid they...they'll treat me like a monster. I'm afraid of being expelled...But I can't control myself. I'm afraid I'll do something even worse..."

She looked up at Hermione, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

"I think... I think you're different from others. You... you're very capable and calm. You must have a way to help me, right?"

“Where’s your diary? Did you bring it?” Hermione asked.

Ginny nodded, took a black diary out of her pocket, and handed it to Hermione.

The diary looked ordinary, with a worn cover, but it exuded a cold and gloomy aura.

Hermione took the diary, her fingers gently stroking the cover, feeling the unsettling magical fluctuations.

"Leave the diary with me for now, I'll find a way to get rid of it, don't worry."

Ginny looked at Hermione, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes, and nodded vigorously.
