Hogwarts becomes host

Riddle seemed satisfied with Elaine's words, but Harry and others still couldn't accept it.

Maybe precognition is real, but with the relationship between the Shafiq family and Voldemort, how could she think that she could survive by surrendering? If she had already decided to surrender to Voldemort, why did she force the Ministry of Magic to liquidate the Death Eaters?

Moreover, Adair died at the hands of Voldemort, how could he tolerate Elaine's chaos?

"I still don't understand." Daphne looked at Elaine sadly, "Your choice is too strange. Do you really believe that he will let you go? If you really want to help him, why do you want to get rid of the Death Eaters? What on earth are you doing? What are you thinking about?”

"It's strange, no, you and I see completely different things." Elaine pointed to her eyes and said, "The Dark Lord's ideal is to purify the wizard bloodline and rule the magical world. No, his ultimate goal is to change the entire world and let wizards Walking into the sun and ruling Muggles, those actions are just means to achieve the goal, so as long as I am willing to work for him, I will be fine. After all, there are too many Muggles and he needs manpower. I don't think he will do it just to vent his anger. And destroying the one person who could help him.”

"As for what's wrong with getting rid of the Death Eaters? They are neither loyal nor capable, cruel, stupid, greedy and short-sighted. If we don't get rid of them, how can we let them stay and hinder me?" At this point, she bowed to Riddle, " A big reason for your failure is due to the wanton behavior of those Death Eaters. They know nothing except killing. Rule cannot rely solely on violence. I hereby promise that as long as everything is handed over to Shafiq, for five years Then the British wizarding world will be your strength."

"Elaine, are you crazy?" Harry yelled excitedly, "He wants to eliminate Muggle-borns and massacre Muggles. If you do this, many people will die - you don't care about Hermione anymore and you want to attack your friends. "

"Yes, otherwise why would you be here?"

"Okay, I can't wait to see the power of Harry Potter and Dumbledore's weapons." Riddle said softly, "Elaine, you are responsible for dealing with the extra guys."

"As ordered." Elaine raised her wand. Hermione, Daphne and Ron tensed their bodies to prepare for it, but Elaine's wand was not pointed at them, but pointed at the door. "Go outside, leave the room to Harry and the basilisk, let's go."

"Why should I listen to you?" Ron said provocatively. "You think we're going to leave Harry alone"

"You have no choice." Elaine called out Nott, took the diary from the house elf, and shook it to the four of them, "The current Dark Lord is just a projection of magic power, and any attack is ineffective against him and can defeat him. There are only two ways, one is to deal with me who provides the magic power, and the other is to destroy the diary that is the main body."

""

Harry and others seemed very hesitant. They were on guard while discussing ways in low voices. Elaine ignored them, put the diary into her robe, then turned around and walked out of the secret room.

"You are so kind." Riddle's lazy voice sounded in her ears, "Why do you have to tell them my weaknesses?"

"They won't be separated if you don't do this." Elaine explained, "Although it doesn't matter if you stay and be bitten to death by the basilisk, but then you won't have a body to be reborn. Besides, I don't think leaving the diary in the secret room It’s a good idea, but in my prediction, it might be taken away by the Phoenix.”

"That's fine. I'll keep it with you. I'm relieved."

A few minutes later, Hermione, Daphne and Ron also left the Chamber of Secrets at Harry's insistence.

As soon as the three of them stepped out, the door to the secret room slowly closed behind them.

"Do you have any last words or wishes?" Elaine asked them. "Looking at the past friendship, I will try my best to do it. I will also try my best to save your family, parents, and friends if they are willing to cooperate with me."

"Elaine," Hermione said cringingly, "Do you really, really want to kill me? We are friends. You must have some reasons. Please, tell me. There must be a way──"

"My only difficulty is to survive." Elaine replied, "If I die, the Shafiq family will really be finished, so I──"

"Lie." Daphne interrupted her, "You don't care about the Shafiq family at all. I know that. I have read your heart."

"...Whatever you say."

"That's enough, Harry is still waiting for us." Ron raised his wand, "Since she doesn't say anything, beat her up and destroy the diary, and everything will be solved."

"Hey, you are so courageous." Elaine smiled sarcastically, "I don't know who it is, but I always pinned me down on the ground and beat you during the summer vacation. You really think I won't do it."

"Yes, that's what we think." Daphne said, "Otherwise, there is no need for you to use Occlumency. With our strength gap, even if I can read minds, I can't stop your attack. You are the only one who can use Occlumency." The reason is to hide my true thoughts.”

"I don't believe you will actually take action." Hermione also said, "The Elaine I know is a person who thinks about everyone. You have helped us so much, and now it is our turn to help you. Please, Elaine Lian, believe us──”

"Okay, you're right, I really don't want to fight."

The music sounded, surging magic power surged out, and the phantom of the illusory city wall appeared in front of Elaine. The tall and wide city wall continued to extend in all directions until it was embedded in the wall. The entire passage had no gaps and was completely covered by the translucent city wall.

"Noble Phantasm. The ideal city that is already far away so I don't need to fight." She shrugged and introduced it to the stunned three people. "After all, there are three of you, and you have the blessing of Phoenix Song. If I accidentally reveal a gap, you might take the opportunity to send someone out to report the news, so I have to use the safest method."

"This wall will resist any spell you cast. You have also seen it. It covers the entire passage. No matter what angle you cast the spell from, it will be useless unless you can apparate behind me or use a powerful spell. It’s probably impossible to break this wall.”

"Those pieces were all turned to stone and fell unconscious." Hermione tentatively cast a few spells. Sure enough, as Elaine said, the spells dissipated when they hit the city wall. It had no effect and could not hit her at all.

Ron mustered up the courage to rush forward, but when his body failed to pass through the phantom city wall, he hit it hard, as if he hit a real wall.

"The entire city wall is an illusion constructed by magic power, but the exchange of reality and reality can temporarily make it real." Elaine said. "And, it can do that."

Elaine snapped her fingers, and the wall slowly advanced towards the door of the secret room.
