Chapter 224 New Semester

Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
The Hogwarts Express is still flying northwest.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and against the last rays of the setting sun, the sky was a magnificent deep purple, like a dream.
Everyone has changed into their school uniforms and robes, waiting for the train to arrive at Hogwarts.
"By the way, Ginny." Glenn smoothed Qiu's collar and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Did you see a small black book in the bookstore that day?"
Ginny gave him a blank look and asked, "What book?"
Seeing her reaction, Glenn was also startled. He clearly saw Lucius Malfoy throw Riddle's diary into Ginny's cauldron with his own hands.
"A diary, with a black cover, probably from a few decades ago, and the name should be written on it, T.M. Riddle."
He briefly described the characteristics of the diary.
Ginny seemed to have no memory of the name. She recalled it carefully and shook her head.
Glenn couldn't help but frown——
According to the plot of the original novel, Ginny must have been exposed to the diary at this time, and even opened her heart to it.
On their way to King's Cross station early in the morning, she deliberately turned back to the Burrow just to get Riddle's diary.
But at this time, she acted like she had no memory of the diary, and something was obviously wrong.
This means these two possibilities.
If Ginny had opened her heart to the diary, or even been successfully brainwashed by the soul fragments in the diary, then she would have reason to conceal the existence of the diary.
But looking at her reaction, there was no trace of acting, and it didn't look like she was telling lies.
As for the second possibility, the situation is a bit grim.
If Ginny did not lie, it means that she really did not see Riddle's diary, then the plot of the whole year will have undergone earth-shaking changes, whether it is the person who opened the secret room or the time of several attacks. It is no longer as stable and controllable as before.
The butterfly effect finally appeared.
In fact, the secret room is far more dangerous this year than in the future.
Neither Sirius nor Wormtail nor Barty Crouch Jr. would harm ordinary Hogwarts students, but the Basilisk was different.
As an extremely dangerous magical creature, the danger of the Basilisk is not only reflected in its aggressiveness, but also in its unexpected attack method.
The setting that can kill someone instantly just by looking at him is a bug-level ability.
If the diary is brought to Hogwarts by someone else, then the level of danger this year will be completely out of control; and if the diary does not appear in Hogwarts, its trace will be completely lost.
Either way, it's bad news.
Seemingly seeing something wrong with Glenn's expression, Qiu asked with concern: "Is that diary very important to you?"
Glenn was stunned and shook his head: "It's...a souvenir left by an old friend."
"I'll look for it again when I get to Hogwarts." A look of surprise appeared on Ginny's face. "If there is one, I'll tell you."
"Okay." Glenn nodded and said no more.
After a while, the scenery on both sides gradually became empty, and the train slowed down slowly and stopped on the platform.
Everyone lined up to get out of the car according to the voice on the radio, waved goodbye to Ginny who was about to take the boat, and took the Thestral carriage to Hogwarts Castle.
Master Malfoy and his two followers lined up not far in front of the team.He was not wearing a school robe, but a dark black robe. His usually delicate and well-fitting light blond hair seemed to be unkempt and a bit messy.
Glenn and his group got off the bus in front of the castle gate and sat down in the auditorium.
The auditorium was as brilliant as ever, with stars shining brightly on the magic ceiling, and one or two shooting stars streaking across from time to time.
Hundreds of candles were suspended in the air, their light swaying and reflected on the gleaming tableware and goblets.
Several roommates and familiar friends have not arrived yet, but Penello has already sat down at the long table, looking like he is not in a good mood.
"Why are you so haggard, Miss Qingshui?" Glenn waved to her and said hello.
Penello glanced at him, not bothering to raise his head, and just pointed in the direction of the Gryffindor table without saying a word.
Glenn looked in the direction of her finger and saw Percy who was bleeding like a chicken.It seemed that he was in a good mood because he chatted with the goddess for a long time on the road.
"He couldn't have been pestering you all the way, right?" Qiu frowned and asked.
Penello nodded tiredly, looking a little bored.
Glenn gave Percy a regretful look and shook his head secretly.
I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it...
The little wizards came to the auditorium one after another, chatting in groups about interesting things during the summer vacation, waiting for the dinner to begin.
Qiu was also dragged into the small group of girls by Marietta, and smiled as she watched them chattering away.
Not long after, the door to the auditorium opened, and the new student walked in, following Professor McGonagall.
They were just like Harry and Ron a year ago, trembling.
Except Ginny.
As long as she wasn't in front of Harry, she was basically the bravest one in the crowd.
At this moment, she was comforting the girl next to her in a low voice. The girl looked extremely nervous and almost cried.
Besides Ginny, there is another girl who stands out and seems out of place with the others - the crazy girl, Luna Lovegood.
This is not the first time Glenn has met Luna. During the summer vacation not long ago, he had received the Lovegoods and his daughter who came to buy wands.
In his opinion, compared with the fairy-like appearance in the movie, Luna in this world is indeed a bit worse.
Her waist-length blond hair was not taken care of at all and looked a bit messy. Her facial features were quite delicate, not like the "two eyes bulging outwards" described by Harry in the original book.
Besides them, there was another boy who caught Glenn's eye.
The boy was looking around curiously at the furnishings in the auditorium. It was obvious at first glance that he was from a Muggle family. He was very interested in everything about Hogwarts and was much more excited than the other little wizards.
He held a camera, which was a standard 80s style, obviously much more advanced than the ones commonly used by wizards.
If Glenn guessed correctly, this should be Colin Creevey, a loyal fan of Harry Potter.
In the final battle to defend Hogwarts in the original book, he did not follow Professor McGonagall's command and stay in a safe place. Instead, he sneaked back to the castle and fought side by side with his idol Harry.
It was there that he gave his young life.
According to Glenn's vision, if he had enough strength, he would try his best to prevent these tragedies from happening, even if it was just an insignificant supporting role.
