Chapter 141 TM Riddle's Diary

Chapter 141 T.M. Riddle’s Diary

Although in school, Ron and Draco seemed to have a good relationship.

But their parents, who worked in the Ministry of Magic, were looking for trouble with each other and could be said to be hostile.

The two of them talked about something unknown at the door of the second-hand bookstore. Lucius still looked aloof, while Arthur's face was red, as if he had been poked in a painful spot.

This made Ron, who was about to walk over, suddenly stop.

His intuition told him that now was not the time for the past, and children should not get involved in adult matters.

The two elders didn't talk for long at the door of the second-hand bookstore. They quickly turned around and left, walking very quickly.

Only then did Ron realize that Lucius didn't look as calm as he had imagined.

Ron and Harry came to the used bookstore, and Harry asked: "What are your father and Draco's father doing here?"

Ron touched a handful of books, his hands were all stained with dust, and he shook his hand in disgust.

"I don't know. My parents never told me about work matters. I only know that my father and Lucius are sworn enemies in the Ministry of Magic, and they often fight against each other."

Harry was a little surprised: "I heard that the Malfoy family is a noble family. Your father is not afraid of them?"

Ron shook his head, "Don't be afraid. The nobles are not that scary. They also have many weaknesses. Anyway, I'm not afraid. They just have more money than us."

"But this used bookstore really accepts everything. I actually saw a lot of old electrical appliances from the Muggle world. Where did these come from?"

Ron looked at the pile of old electrical appliances with great interest, "The Ministry of Magic explicitly prohibits the use of things from the Muggle world. Muggle things are contraband in the wizarding world, especially high-power electrical appliances."

Harry asked curiously: "Why?"

Ron shrugged: "I don't know. It may be related to a circuit problem. Electrical appliances in the Muggle world need electricity, and the Ministry of Magic doesn't know how to install electricity. It needs to communicate with the Muggle world. It's very troublesome anyway. "

He complained: "Those old stubborns in the ministry always think that magic can solve everything and reject new things. But in fact, there are many things in life that can be done well without using magic, and it is also effortless."

Harry walked around the second-hand bookstore and saw an old notebook in a remote corner.

He walked over and found that it was a diary. The faded date on the cover showed that it was 50 years old.

He turned it over, and on the first page, he could only make out a name written in blurry ink:

T. M. Riddle.

"I know this name." Ron's voice suddenly came out. He came to Harry's side and looked at the diary together.

"Let me think about it...Riddle, fifty years ago received the Special Contribution to the School Award."

"How did you know?" Harry asked in surprise.

"The last time Professor McGonagall deducted points and was subsequently detained, didn't we go to the prize showroom on the fourth floor to clean the medals? In the area I was responsible for, there was a medal that belonged to him, and this medal , I wiped it about fifty times!”

Ron said angrily: "I burped and got mucus on it. I had to wipe it clean, but there was something wrong with the rag Filch gave me. I always felt it was getting dirtier the more I wiped it. Finally, Hermione gave it to me. I got a tissue and I felt clean.

If you spend almost an hour wiping the slime off a name, you'll remember that name too! "

Harry couldn't help but say: "You are so unlucky!"

Ron: "Those were my most unlucky days!"

Harry gently opened the yellowed diary. Every page was blank, with no trace of writing.

He was a little disappointed.

He turned to the back cover, which bore the name of a newsagent in Vauxhall Road, London. "He must be a Muggle, so he bought the diary from that place."

Although I am curious as to why the new diary is placed in the used bookstore, oh, it may be because the cover of this book is quite old, so it was abandoned.

Anyway, Harry bought the diary and only used a few copper nuts.

They return to Ollivander's wand shop.

At this time, Lin Xia and Mr. Ollivander had just finished talking.

Lin Xia felt that she benefited a lot from this visit. She heard Ollivander's many new and interesting points of view, which inspired her.

Although their research directions are different, they can refer to each other.

Among them, Ollivander also recommended her to listen to music, saying that music can promote the burst of inspiration.

"I recently spend two hours listening to music every day. It makes me feel very passionate. I feel like I am back to my youth again."

This made Lin Xia remember it. Maybe she would have to find time to listen to music.

The research progress has been stuck for so long, and if it doesn't work hard, then we need to use some metaphysical methods.

She walked out of the wand shop and saw Harry and Ron chatting not far from the door. The two of them were eating Easter eggs in the shape of a fire dragon while talking.

Suddenly, the compass in her mind started to rotate, and she came to the "Fuji" column, and text messages appeared in her mind.

[Harry becomes increasingly obsessed with the diary he obtained in a used bookstore...his learning level improves by leaps and bounds, and it is all the diary that touches him...causing the death of students...]

[On Easter...the fire dragon bound by Gringotts suddenly became angry...Gringotts was almost overturned...gold coins were exploded...the fire dragon was captured again...dismembered...]

The text message flashed for only a moment, and Lin Xia walked towards the two of them without changing her expression.

She asked: "Have you been waiting outside?"

"No, we also went to a used bookstore," he paused, "I saw Draco's father and my father at the door of the store. They had an argument. After they left, Harry and I went in to shop."

He looked at Lin Xia's expression, and she looked normal, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't know what he was nervous about, maybe he was afraid that the poor relationship between the elders would affect the relationship between the children.

Lin Xia was more interested in the topic of the used bookstore.

"I want to go to Gringotts to have a look. I heard that Gringotts will hold some activities on Easter. Did you buy anything in the used bookstore?"

Harry: "I bought a diary."

"Can you take a look? I also need a diary." Lin Xia said.

Harry handed the diary to Lin Xia, and Lin Xia observed his expression, without any reluctance.

He didn't seem to find the diary special, let alone indulge in it.

Lin Xia saw the name under the cover, and her eyes flickered slightly -

T.M. Riddle.

A very familiar name.

Lin Xia asked: "Harry, can you give me this diary? I just need it."

Harry said without hesitation: "I'll give it to you."

They arrived at Gringotts unknowingly.
