Chapter 325 The Lost Diary
With the sharp screams of Mrs. Norris, all the little wizards were attracted.
Kyle, who was under the Disillusionment Curse, stood at the back, observing everything that happened next calmly.
Just like in the memory, people found Filch and Harry on the third floor and regarded him as their heir...
The professors also came and took Filch and Harry away, and the prefects began to lead the students back to the common room.
After the crowd gradually dispersed, Kyle found to his embarrassment that he seemed to have nowhere to go.
There was definitely no way to go back to the dormitory, but it was only Halloween and there were still several months before his original time. What would he do in the meantime? You can't just wander around the castle all the time.
Kyle walked along the stairs toward the eighth floor.
Myrtle was still in the bathroom, and "he" would go there soon. He would definitely not be able to return to the secret room now, so he decided to go to the Room of Requirement.
It seems to be the only place I can go to now.
"I need a place to rest."
A door appeared in the middle of the corridor. Kyle opened it and walked in... In an instant, all the previous worries were gone.
There is such a grandeur in the room.
The large four-poster bed is more than three times larger than the one in the dormitory. It is so soft and comfortable that you won't want to get up when you lie down.
In front of the bed is an equally large desk with parchment, quills and ink placed on it.
Further forward are different rooms, dining room... bathroom... study... everything.
Kyle even saw a crystal wizard chess piece, crackling exploding cards, and various flying broomsticks in one room... but the models of these broomsticks were a bit old, and the best one could only sweep five stars.
But it didn't matter, after all, who would play with a broomstick in the room...not Kyle anyway.
The ceiling is enchanted like the one in the auditorium, but the difference is that it can be adjusted at will.
If Kyle wants, he can keep the place full of sunshine all day long, or he can lie in bed and watch the stars, or drink tea and read a book in the sound of rain...
Just perfect.
As for the problem of eating, the elves in the kitchen can deliver food to anywhere.
Kyle walked around and suddenly felt that a few months was a bit short. If possible, he would even want to live here until graduation...and then apply for a professorship and come back to continue living.
Although this is somewhat unlikely.
After finding a place to stay, Kyle returned to the castle and found Peeves on the sixth floor holding a small brush and painting a turtle on a pair of armor.
"That diary?" Peeves tilted his head and thought for a while, "I threw it away... That thing is so useful. The little devil screamed very loudly."
Kyle's eyes twitched, "Where did you throw it..."
"I don't know." Peeves said matter-of-factly.
"A box of dung eggs!"
Peeves still shook his head, "I really don't remember, who cares about the things thrown out.
You can look for it yourself, maybe on the third floor, or the fifth floor, or the seventh floor..."
Throughout the night, Kyle risked being discovered by the professor and searched almost all the floors.
It was getting daylight, and Kyle, who found nothing, returned to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.
The diary was lost and no one knows where it is now.
Kyle sat down at the desk and thought about Peeves' last words.
"The red-haired kid was so frightened that he fell over. Potter threatened to go find Bloody Barrow, and then I ran away...that bad guy."
Red hair, and Potter... According to Peeves, the last person who was hit should be Ron, and the diary should have been taken away by one of them.
Harry? Or Ron?
Kyle stood up and lay down on the soft bed.
He originally thought that he was the heir, but now it seems that he is not.
It was probably just a coincidence that the basilisk suddenly came out of the bathroom.
He had summoned the basilisk in the secret room before, which meant that at that time, the entrance to the statue had actually been opened.
It was just the sudden appearance of the Big Four that made him forget about it.
The basilisk probably came out with him after he left the secret room.
And what Riddle said.
Timid...cowardly...future servant...
The only person who can perfectly fit these descriptions is probably the rat next to Ron, Peter Pettigrew.
Could it be him?
…
For the next period of time, Kyle lived in the Room of Requirement.
Everything has been peaceful in the castle, and everything is just as in memory.
In this way, the time quickly came to November.
In the first Quidditch match, that is, the day Professor Caredi Bubbaji was attacked, Kyle left the Room of Requirement early and came to the Chamber of Secrets.
Kyle originally thought he would have to wait until night, but within two hours, there was a rustling sound outside.
Kyle quickly hid in the shadows by the door.
The door was opened, and the ghostly Riddle floated in, followed by a mouse.
"Peter...you should really find a wand."
Riddle said softly: "I really don't understand, even Animagus can learn it, why can't he change back without a wand?"
The rat stopped and banged its head against the floor.
"Don't be nervous, Peter, I don't know what my future will be like, but now, I don't mean to blame you."
"You're doing a great job and being a very good follower," Riddle said.
He pointed at the diary, and the mouse quickly climbed up.
The hair on the mouse's body became darker, but Riddle's figure became clearer.
"As a reward..." Riddle looked at the body that was staring more and more, and opened his arms in a daze, "Close your eyes, Peter!"
The mouse quickly lowered his head.
Riddle made a hissing sound from his mouth... and summoned the basilisk,
"Go, cleanse the school and kill those mudbloods!"
At this time, Kyle had already quietly left the secret room under the cover of the Disillusionment Curse.
The basilisk made a lot of noise, and neither Riddle nor Mouse noticed that there was an extra person in the secret room just now.
Sure enough, it was the mouse who got the diary.
After returning to the castle, Kyle did not stop and went directly to the place where the second attack occurred.
Also on the third floor.
Caredi Bubbaji did not go to the Quidditch match. He was walking towards his office holding a lawnmower.
But as he walked, he suddenly heard a strange friction sound, as if something huge was crawling on the ground.
The sound came from another corridor ahead.
Unknowingly, Professor Bubbaji sped up and wanted to go over and check the situation.
