Chapter 141
The two of them were very close.
"Tom, my sister's grades have improved a lot. Are you helping her?"
Argus picked up the quill and asked Tom Riddle in the diary, imitating Ron's identity.
"If you are talking about Miss Ginny Weasley, it is indeed related to me."
Tom Riddle in the diary used Legilimency.
Detected only a blank.
Unable to invade the other party's brain, Tom Riddle could only use the limited information to deduce.
When answering questions, he was particularly cautious.
"Can you help me become the top student in the grade?"
"Sure."
"Really? I'm already a second-year student, and the magic I learn is much more difficult than Ginny's first-year!"
"Of course."
Aggs's pretended doubts made Tom Riddle feel a little relieved.
It seems that he is just a little wizard who has just entered the second year.
Judging from his impatient questions, the other party has poor grades, likes to show off, and loves to be in the spotlight.
It is not difficult to grasp his weaknesses and want to seduce him.
"Were you also a student of Hogwarts?"
"Which family? I don't think I have heard of the Riddle family."
"Are you a pure blood?"
A few words almost broke Tom Riddle's defense.
Didn't the Weasley family say that blood theory is not advocated?
What the hell are you asking?
No wonder your sister complains to me all day long!
It's what he deserves!
As a half-blood produced by aphrodisiacs, he hates others mentioning his bloodline the most!
Argus's question was like poking at his most painful point.
If he was not just a remnant soul now, he would definitely use the Cruciatus Curse to communicate with him!
Tom Riddle suppressed his anger and communicated with Argus patiently.
A week passed in a blink of an eye.
In this week, Argus has successfully convinced Tom Riddle that he is a member of the Weasley family.
There are many brothers and sisters in the family, including a younger sister and several older brothers.
His grades are average and he longs for attention.
In the conversation with Tom Riddle, the other party has been pretending to be a life mentor.
He gave Argus advice everywhere without asking for anything in return.
Except for some occasional bewitching remarks in his words.
From recent contacts, Argus has gradually understood some of Voldemort's personality traits.
Even if he changes in the future due to his experience, many things engraved in his bones cannot change!
For example... he is the product of aphrodisiacs, and his father is just a Muggle!
The identity of an orphan made him feel inferior in his bones, and he reacted strongly to his bloodline and the contempt and provocation of others.
This gave Argus a lot of maneuverability.
During this period, he was thinking about not only the back-up plan to deal with Voldemort, but also one more thing.
As Voldemort's first Horcrux, Tom Riddle's diary is the only Horcrux with independent consciousness.
It can control the owner for a short time through some means.
It even has the ability to control remotely!
In the original book, Ginny went to Harry's dormitory to search after Harry got the diary.
If Ginny wanted to take back the diary herself, it would be impossible to cause damage to Harry's dormitory.
At most, she would sneak in and search.
The fact that she could mess up the dormitory proves that Ginny has lost her basic thinking ability and is completely controlled by the diary.
Argus is not worried that he will be affected by the diary.
The seventh level of brain occlumency may not be penetrated even by Voldemort now, let alone him when he was a student.
Tom Riddle in the diary was also speechless.
Every time he chatted with the other party, he tried every means to deceive him.
As a result, the other party seemed to not understand at all, always talking to himself, forcing him to continue chatting with the other party.
He wanted to absorb some vitality to increase his strength.
But the situation of this little wizard was completely different from that of the previous little girl. After sucking for a long time, he only sucked a ball of air.
It was a waste of the vitality he had absorbed before.
If he hadn't been unable to move on his own, he would have changed a host long ago!
It was not just Tom Riddle in the diary who was tired.
Dumbledore was the same.
Since the Aurors were stationed, there has been no petrification incident in Hogwarts.
The news published by Rita in the Daily Prophet was fermenting rapidly, and the British wizarding community was constantly pressuring him to solve the monster hidden in Hogwarts.
This was also where Dumbledore was tired.
He knew very well that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets could be found, but he could never do it by himself!
He had been the headmaster of Hogwarts for decades and had not found it. Now, not long after the Aurors came in, he suddenly found it?
What would others think if it got out?
Would they think it was a coincidence? Or did they know it a long time ago but just didn't deal with it?
Not to mention the British wizards, it is impossible for Hagrid, Professor McGonagall and others not to think too much.
Especially Hagrid!
"Judging from Harry's situation, there should be no relevant information in a short time."
"In Hogwarts, there is only one person who can find Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets without arousing suspicion..."
"But, I don't seem to have any chips worth his attention."
...
It was early February.
With the end of winter, the warm sunshine sprinkled on Hogwarts Castle.
There was no petrification incident for a month, which made everyone's face full of happy smiles.
Argus and Hermione sat in the library, each holding a thick book.
There are all kinds of books on the table, stacked up higher than a person.
In the original book, Hermione used Polyjuice Potion by mistake to let Harry and Ron enter the Slytherin common room and turned into a cat girl.
She was even petrified while investigating the basilisk.
Now that she has been sorted into Ravenclaw, she doesn't have to worry about her two stupid sons.
The most important thing every day is to read all kinds of books in the library with Argus.
It's just that Argus is a little regretful that he has only seen older cat girls, but not real kittens.
Since Christmas, Hermione has added another item to her study.
Finance and management in the Muggle world!
For most young wizards, these things that adults may not understand are too difficult.
But Hermione's learning ability is obviously not comparable to that of ordinary people.
It was indeed a bit difficult at the beginning, but as time goes by, she has now entered the threshold.
At least she is no longer a white-collar who knows nothing.
"It's almost lunch time. Do you want to go eat first?"
Agus put down the book and asked.
Hermione woke up as if from a dream and looked at the sun rising high outside.
Nodded.
She packed up the books on the table and prepared to leave with Agus.
The two had just walked out of the library not far away.
A figure dressed in extremely flashy clothes appeared in front of them.
"Mr. Grindelwald, is it convenient for you to come to the office?"
"I have something and need your help."
