Chapter 83 The diary also has a shadow

The four of them walked quickly out of Lockhart's office.

Harry looked hesitant, obviously wanting to say something to Ron and Hermione.

It was just that Hephis' presence seemed to make him hesitate, so he chose to remain silent.

Hephis symbolically comforted Hermione with a few words.

But Hermione was obviously absent-minded and just hummed a few times in response to Hephis's words.

Hephis thought she was frightened by what happened to Mrs. Norris, so he didn't think much about it.

He said goodbye to Hermione, told her to go back and have a good rest, and prepared to ask An An to bring some food to them.

After all, if it was only given to Hermione, she would definitely share it with the other two without hesitation.

Hephis watched the three people climb up the stairs and disappear from sight.

He told An An about the meal delivery.

An An, the takeaway man, came online immediately.

And Hephis stood there quietly waiting.

Less than half a minute later, Snape threw his robe and walked out of Lockhart's office quickly.

When he saw Hephis, his pace slowed down noticeably.

He walked past Hephis without looking away, "Follow me."

Hephis followed silently.

With a "bang", Snape slammed the office door.

Hephis was startled.

He had expected Snape to come looking for him, but why was he so angry?

"What the hell are you doing?" Snape's tone was obviously angry and his eyes were blazing.

"Uh..." Hephis was really confused this time.

"What spell did you use to hurt the ghost?" Snape asked in suppressed anger.

After being scared away, Peeves immediately went to Dumbledore, who was attending the Halloween dinner, to complain. Snape was next to him at the time.

When Dumbledore saw a thin transparent line appear on Peeves' milky white body, his face instantly turned gloomy.

If Snape hadn't taken the initiative to take all the problems on himself.

The person standing in front of Hephesus now is probably not Snape, but Dumbledore.

"Uh...it's the Soul Whip..." Hephis replied in a low voice.

Before he could finish, Snape grabbed his shoulders, his knuckles turning white from the force.

"Remember, it's the Shadowless Sword. I taught you that! Do you understand?" Snape said sternly.

"I understand, Professor." Hephis was still a little confused, but he knew that Snape would not harm him, and that was enough.

Snape loosened his hand and said slowly: "The spell that can harm ghosts or souls has disappeared for nearly seven hundred years. I don't know where you learned this spell, but remember it, don't touch your own or other people's souls at will."

He didn't mention the Killing Curse, because of it, Lily would...

"I didn't expect..." Hephis was speechless. Why did this spell disappear at any time?

Hephaestus suddenly figured it out. The reason why Snape was so anxious was because of Dumbledore!

"Your head is full of sphinxes, and you have never thought of anything else." Snape glared at him, his tone full of contempt.

Yes, this is the Snape that Hephis is familiar with.

"Did you open the Chamber of Secrets?" Snape suddenly changed the subject and stared into Hephes' eyes.

Hephis also looked at him and answered frankly: "No, Professor."

Snape nodded, "Stay away from that 'pot' and don't get yourself into trouble."

"Okay, Professor."

"The Shadowless Divine Strike is a spell I invented when I was in school. It belongs to the dark arts. If it is performed repeatedly, it can harm the soul."

"Professor, that's awesome. You were able to invent something like this when you were in school..." Hephis quickly flattered him.

"Shut up." Snape roared like a dragon.

Hephis shrugged.

Snape began to explain in detail the key points and precautions of the Sharp Edge Spell.

From syllables to gestures, from direction control to emotional output, every key point is explained in great detail.

Under Snape's guidance, he practiced the spell over and over again.

Until he was able to accurately cut off the left front paw of the moving mouse without damaging other parts.

Snape nodded with satisfaction and told Hephes to go away.

It was late at night when Hephis returned to the dormitory.

There were two black shadows, one big and one small, in the dormitory.

The big shadow is still working hard to transform into various creatures.

The small shadow curled into a ball and stayed quietly next to a black notebook.

It was Voldemort's diary.

Hephis retracted his shadow, and a large number of memories about Ginny flooded into his mind like a tide.

"Tsk tsk tsk...Salazar Slytherin is really narcissistic. This spell is simply..."

Hephis didn't know whether he would be able to say it when the time comes.

The reason why he didn't take the diary away immediately was that he was waiting for Ginny or Voldemort's first action.

Hefeth does remember some of the plot of "Harry Potter and the Dark Knight".

But he had no recollection of the entrance to the secret room, he only knew that it was in a bathroom.

Also, in the movie, Harry reached the basilisk's location very smoothly, probably because of the protagonist's halo.

He didn't believe that Slytherin's chamber of secrets didn't even have basic defensive magic, only a basilisk.

So instead of wasting time with Voldemort, it is better to wait for the plot to begin and find out everything directly from Ginny's actions.

As he expected, the structure of the secret room was extremely complicated. It required passing through three doors, and each door required a specific spell to open.

Hephis stared at the black diary with a complicated expression.

He had consumed fragments of Voldemort's shadow before.

From it he learned two magics, one was flying and the other was soul whipping.

Although both of these spells have certain limitations, it is undeniable that they are both very practical.

Plus the blood transplant method that Voldemort taught him, and the three unforgivable curses.

He even felt that it was not an exaggeration to call Voldemort a teacher.

Hephis actually wanted to communicate with Voldemort, but he decided to try the first method first.

He slowly stretched out his hand, and a pair of black scissors quietly emerged.

Everything has a shadow.

He realized this only after he devoured the shadow of the magical creature.

So what does the shadow of the diary taste like?

The shadow of the diary is very tenacious.
