I became Voldemort

Chapter 49: Modifying memory

Cyrus took advantage of Draco's weakness and took complete control of his body.

But he did not immediately attack with the basilisk. He had more important things to do now than attack.

Through the conversation with Draco, he already knew that the house elf Dobby stole the diary and delivered it to Draco. Now, Ginny still has the memory of the diary in her mind. If this memory is discovered by Dumbledore, then she may have nothing to hide.

"We must know whether Ginny revealed the diary and then changed all their memories!"

Cyrus has no plans to return to Ginny just yet.

Now that things have developed to this point, there is actually no need to follow the plot of the original work.

As long as there wasn't much difference in general, it would be enough to take Ginny into the secret room and create the illusion that she was going to face Harry Potter.

Now, he must find an opportunity and act quickly.

However,

It was another thing to be disarmed by the Expelliarmus that Harry, Hermione and Ginny jointly performed from the very beginning.

...

A few minutes ago....

Cyrus was about to go find Ginny. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the common room door, he turned a corner and met four people who had been hiding there for a long time.

Four voices shouted "Expelliarmus" together, and Ron's wand returned fire and blew himself away.

The remaining three magic spells flew towards Cyrus, knocking away the hawthorn stick in his hand.

In fact, Cyrus is not really powerless. Even if the wand is knocked away, he can still cast magic, but now he has other ideas.

"Malfoy! Give Ginny's diary back!" Hermione said rudely, threatening to give him a punch if he didn't hand over the diary.

"Hurry up! Or I will let you taste the taste of slugs!" Ginny was even more irritable than Hermione.

"Don't try to quibble, Harry saw you taking out that diary during class!"

Ron, whose butt was broken into eight pieces, quickly got up and stood aside with a fake domineering look.

On Valentine's Day, Harry saw Malfoy writing something in a black notebook. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but after meeting Ginny, he remembered about the diary. After that, he observed for several days and finally determined that what Malfoy was holding was Ginny's lost diary. That's why this scene happened now.

However, looking at the three wands pressed against his chin at this moment, Cyrus was not panicked at all.

"Wait, wait - I'm not Malfoy!" Cyrus looked at Ginny sincerely, then lowered his voice, "It's me, Riddle!"

"Mr. Riddle?" Ginny immediately put down her wand and said in a surprised and happy voice, "How are you - are you possessing Malfoy?"

"Oh - so, you are, Tom Riddle?" Hermione and her two silly sons had strange expressions on their faces.

It was Cyrus who was standing in Malfoy's face. No matter what he said, it made people laugh. They didn't think it was believable.

"That's right." Cyrus nodded, "Do you remember when we went to Snape to steal the ingredients for the compound potion? At that time, I was the one possessing Ginny."

"It's really you?" Ron said in surprise, "But how did you fall into Malfoy's hands?"

"We all thought that the heir stole you away." Harry said doubtfully, "Malfoy is not the heir, and he doesn't know who the heir is. Why did he steal you away?"

"Because he wanted 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. He also found out that I was not Ginny, but a memory in the diary, so he found a way to steal the diary. But he didn't expect that I could forcibly control his body."

Hearing this, Hermione immediately frowned, as if she thought Cyrus's method was too evil, but Harry and Ron were very happy.

(P.S. Somebody please remind Hermione about the shower lol)

"I have to say, although you still have the same face, you look much more pleasing to the eye than Malfoy." Ron walked up to him carelessly, put his arm around him, and then lowered his voice, "I heard that you helped Ginny write her homework?"

" Yeah, and there were a few times when I thought her level didn't require her to write those assignments... by the way, why are you asking? What's wrong?" Cyrus said pretending to not know Ron's inner thoughts.

"I mean - I have a lot of homework too!"

"Ron!" Hermione angrily pulled Ron away from Cyrus.

Harry and Ginny were still surrounding him, and Ginny suddenly showed a sad expression.

"But if you had Malfoy under your control, why didn't you come to see me?"

Cyrus wanted to say that he had originally planned to find her and modify their memories. But when the words came to his lips, they changed into something else:

"That was too dangerous! I think the successor has discovered my existence. It's just that he hasn't noticed where I am hiding yet. If I come back to you, I may involve you in danger. And I'm using Malfoy's body, so don't worry, no one will think he's an enemy of the Successor."

"I'm not afraid of danger!" Ginny said firmly.

"We're not afraid either." Harry said immediately, hoping that "Mr. Riddle" could provide him with some useful information.

"Actually, I'm a little scared..." Ron muttered slowly, but looking at his sister and his friends's expressions, he swallowed it back.

"I know you are all brave, but—" 

"But you can't find the culprit alone, right?" Hermione interrupted, "We can help. You have acted with us in the past days, you know we can help!"

Cyrus looked at her for a long time, then nodded pretending to be helpless.

"Okay, I agree for you to join, but before that, I have to make it clear - 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 section of the diary, and replace it with another thing." Cyrus said, "I know you will never agree to escape my secret, but the successor may use Legilimency to find the answer from your memories. If he discovers my true identity, it will be too easy for him to destroy me."

Cyrus took the wand back from Harry.

"You promise to only modify the memory about the diary, not to make us forget everything!" Ginny looked at him stubbornly, fearing that this was just a lie told by Cyrus to make them forget everything and stay away from danger.

"I promise, only modifications!"
