Chapter 178 The diary thrown in the bathroom
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
A few weeks later, the students who had finished Christmas returned to school one after another to start a new semester.
The three of Harry carefully checked the three common rooms during this period. Their method was very simple and rude, they put on invisibility cloaks and waited for Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw students to help them open the door of the common room.
Of course, the Gryffindor common room was his own home, so it wasn't that troublesome to check.
In addition, they also launched a secret investigation of 23 suspects according to the list given by Aaron, but nothing was gained.
Fortunately, the Heir of Slytherin seemed to die down during this time, and there were no more attacks.
"So, you really didn't find anything?" Aaron walked down the corridor, looking at Ron thoughtfully, "Where's Ginny? Are you sure you're not partial?"
"She is definitely not without any suspicion, I guarantee it with my personality." Ron said seriously, "Every time I insinuated about the secret room, she acted very scared, and once pushed my brother down. "
"Is that so? That's going to be difficult.
I checked all the students in the school and only screened out these 23 students, but now the clues are broken again. "
"I can't find any institutions in the common room, and I can be sure that it has nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets." Harry murmured, "The principal's office can basically be ruled out, leaving only the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake."
"There is another location." Hermione looked at Aaron, "It's about time you told us!"
"No." Aaron refused without thinking, "I'd rather check the Forbidden Forest and Black Lake first than go to that kind of place."
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this.
Could this last location be more dangerous than the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake?
"Then can you ask the heir 50 years ago..." Harry hesitated for a while, "He may have some clues."
"His clues are in the Forbidden Forest. They are of low value and very dangerous. I don't recommend you go." Aaron frowned slightly, and continued, "Maybe you didn't check carefully enough, or maybe I missed it." what an important place.
At present, our progress is stuck here. If we want to go further, we can only wait for the heir to make a move next time. "
"better not."
"I think so too, but the heir may not be so kind." Aaron said as he walked up the last step, but stepped into a puddle just after taking a step.
Hermione looked at the half-flooded corridor in front of her, and pointed to the door with a failure notice in astonishment, "I think there may be a leak in the common room, it should be from Moaning Myrtle.
How about we go and have a look? "
Aaron was stunned for a moment, and slowly took a step back, "You guys go! I'll wait here, I don't like dealing with that female ghost."
The three shrugged, lifted their robes, and walked over through the stagnant water.
A few minutes later, Aaron heard Myrtle yelling and cursing, even though it was more than ten meters away and a door away, the voice was very clear.
When Harry and the others came out, the shoes and socks were completely soaked.
"It's probably a prank, I don't know who turned on all the taps," Hermione said.
"And this." Harry picked up a diary with a completely soaked black cover, "it's dated 50 years ago, the owner's name is Tom Riddle, and nothing else is written. "
"Let me see." Aaron took the diary from Harry's hand, and then took out his own wand, "Hurry up and reveal yourself!"
There was no response from the diary, not a single word was revealed.
"Is there something wrong with this diary?" Harry asked suspiciously.
"This is inevitable." Aaron said firmly, "50 years ago, the secret room was opened once, and today, 50 years later, a wordless diary was thrown in an abandoned girls' bathroom.
No matter how you look at it, it's no coincidence!Maybe there are some secrets hidden in this diary! "
When Harry heard the word coincidence, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said with an awkward smile, "Maybe it's just an ordinary diary!"
"Yeah! An ordinary student picked up a 50-year-old diary and didn't want to spend energy to record anything in it, so he found an abandoned place and threw it away." Ron chimed in, "At least I will."
Aaron didn't quite believe the two of them, and smiled meaningfully, "Then why didn't the student throw it into the trash can, but threw it in Myrtle's bathroom?
Also unscrew all the taps, isn't that superfluous? "
"Eh..." Hermione said with some embarrassment, "The two of them were just as suspicious as you before, which caused those misunderstandings."
"Don't get me wrong, it's clearly premeditated." Aaron said angrily, "It's completely helpless for me to cooperate with you now.
But I do have a simple way to prove my guess. "
After the words fell, Aaron threw the diary into the sky and quickly cast the flame spell.
Flames shot from the wand and hit the diary right on.
But what surprised the three of them was that the diary that had been burned by the fire only emitted a few wisps of blue smoke, and it returned to its original state after a few seconds.
"Hmph!" Aaron sneered, "See, this is what makes the facts speak louder than words."
Harry picked up the diary, the soaked part had dried out, there was still not a word in it, it looked like an ordinary diary that was old.
But at this moment, he believed Aaron's words. There was definitely a secret in this diary, and it was probably related to the secret room.
"Aaron, do you have any way to crack the secret inside?"
"You really think highly of me." Aaron shook his head, directly cutting off the shortcut Harry wanted to take.
His method has been used just now, but only one accurate conclusion can be drawn: the diary is protected by powerful magic power and is difficult to destroy.
Harry wasn't too disappointed. He looked at the only name on it with green eyes, and murmured, "Tom Riddle, we can look it up from the name."
"Come on, I'm optimistic about you!" Aaron patted him on the shoulder, "I'm not very interested in the history of 50 years ago, because I know the heir who was fired.
But according to our cooperation conditions, if you crack the secret inside, you must tell me unconditionally. "
"Got it." Harry put the diary away helplessly.
......
Day by day, the mandrake became moody and taciturn, and quickly left the same age.
When their acne disappears, they can be sliced and boiled to restore those petrified students, animals and ghosts to their original state.
Although the attack is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it has not happened again for so long, and many students have relaxed their vigilance, even telling the legend of the secret room as a story.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart, was the best dancer.
When people were panicking, he hid faster than anyone else, but after the news passed, he swore that there would be no more problems, as if he had stopped the heir of Slytherin.
Because there were no other clues for a while, Aaron put more energy on improving himself.
The depiction of the advanced magic circle became more and more proficient through continuous practice, but Aaron didn't dare to test his full strength. If he accidentally demolished the dormitory, he would have a lot of fun.
The accumulation of magic points has barely reached [-], which can take down the avatar, no, it is the magic of the missing body.
But just in case, Aaron didn't buy it in the first place.
After all, magic points can be directly converted into magic energy, and one's own strength can be raised to the level of a junior magister, and one will have greater confidence in the face of danger.
On Valentine's Day, Harry accidentally knocked over his schoolbag in the corridor because he was avoiding the Valentine's Day card presented by Lockhart.
A bottle of ink shattered on the floor, staining the books in the bag and Riddle's diary bright red.
But after returning to the dormitory, he found that the diary was still clean.
Realizing that the diary might have absorbed ink, he excitedly sat up from the bed, took out a quill from the bedside table, and dipped a drop of ink on it.
The black ink spread quickly, but was sucked up by a blank page in less than a moment.
Seeing this, Harry couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He felt as if he had discovered the secret of the diary, and immediately wrote in the diary: "My name is Harry Potter."
This line of words flashed, seeping into the diary like a drop of ink.
After a while, a line of words appeared on the blank page: 'Hello, Harry Potter, my name is Tom Riddle. '
Harry opened his eyes slightly, staring at the gradually disappearing words, and was stunned for a few seconds before he managed to regain his senses.
"Do you know about the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry wrote, but before he lifted his pen, he thought of something, and continued to add in his diary, "It would be great if there was a specific location of the Chamber of Secrets."
The writing slowly disappeared, and soon the diary began to respond: 'I know about the secret room, but I don't know the exact location. '
Harry was a little disappointed. He thought he would make a major discovery this time, but it seems that the help this diary can provide is limited.
With regret, Harry wrote another line: "Can you tell me?"
The diary responded immediately: "The situation that day was very complicated, but you can look into my memory." '
Harry was a little dazed, accessing other people's memories, this diary didn't seem to have that kind of ability no matter what.
But before he could react, another line of words appeared in the diary:'I will take you back to 50 years ago. '
The handwriting disappeared, and the diary turned pages as quickly as if it was blown by a strong wind, staying until June [-]th.
Harry carefully picked up the diary, a strong white light seeped out from the middle and shone on him, bringing him into a light and shadow.
When Harry opened his eyes again, he found himself in a gray and white world. Although it was still Hogwarts, he seemed out of place with everything around him.
He can see everyone and hear their voices clearly, but others can't see him, can't touch him, and his sense of existence is lower than air.
This memory of Riddle corresponds to the time period when the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago. Harry followed the young Tom Riddle to meet the then Principal Dippet.
From the conversation between the two, he learned about Tom's life experience, mixed blood, father Muggle, mother wizard, mother died after giving birth to him, and grew up in a Muggle orphanage.
Comparing silently in his heart, Harry unexpectedly found himself qualified to sympathize with others for the first time.
His parents were both wizards, and he was a pure-blood wizard, and he inherited an inheritance from his parents.
Although it is almost spent now, at least it does not count as the opening bowl.
Both of his parents died, but at least he experienced the warmth of the family, the deep father's love and the great mother's love before he was one year old.
Although he couldn't remember that feeling of happiness clearly, there was no doubt that it existed.
He grew up in the house of his uncle and aunt, and it was quite uncomfortable to be dependent on others.
Although it is very unpopular and is often bullied by the big cousin, compared with the orphanage 50 years ago where there was no food, no warm clothes, and no good sleep, this is already warm in the world.
The three of Harry carefully checked the three common rooms during this period. Their method was very simple and rude, they put on invisibility cloaks and waited for Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw students to help them open the door of the common room.
Of course, the Gryffindor common room was his own home, so it wasn't that troublesome to check.
