Chapter 141 Tom, are you a pure blood?
"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.
It was detected that there was only a blank.
Unable to invade the other party's brain, Tom Riddle could only use the limited information to make inferences.
When answering questions, he was particularly cautious.
"Can you help me become the first in the grade?"
"Yes."
"Really? I am already a second-year student, and the magic I learn is much more difficult than Ginny's first year!"
"Of course."
Argus'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.
From his impatient questions, it can be judged that the other party has poor grades, likes to show off, and loves to be in the limelight.
It is not difficult to grasp his weaknesses and want to seduce him.
"Were you a student at Hogwarts?"
"Which family? I don't think I've 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 bloodline theory is not advocated?
What the hell are you asking?
No wonder your sister complains to me all day long!
It's what she deserves!
As a half-blood produced by aphrodisiacs, he hates others mentioning his bloodline the most!
Argus's question is tantamount to poking at his most painful point.
If he were 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.
During 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, with a sister and several 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 gives Argus advice everywhere without asking for anything in return.
Except for some occasional misleading remarks in his words.
From recent contacts, Argus has gradually understood some of Voldemort's personality traits.
Even if he changes due to his experience in the future, many things engraved in his bones cannot be changed!
For example... he is the product of aphrodisiacs, and his father is just a Muggle!
The identity of an orphan makes him feel inferior in his bones, and he reacts greatly to his bloodline and the contempt and provocation of others.
This gives Argus a lot of maneuverability.
During this period, he was thinking about another thing besides the back-up plan to deal with Voldemort.
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 mess in the dormitory proved that Ginny had lost her basic thinking ability and was completely controlled by the diary.
Argus was not worried that he would be affected by the diary.
The seventh-level brain occlumency technique might 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 and always talked to himself, forcing him to chat along with the other party's topic.
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 act on his own, he would have changed the host long ago!
It was not only 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 that Rita published in the Daily Prophet was fermenting rapidly, and the British wizarding community was constantly putting pressure on him to solve the monster hidden in Hogwarts.
This was exactly what made Dumbledore 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 Auror came in, he suddenly found it?
What would others think if it got out?
Do 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!
"Based on Harry's situation, it should be impossible to find 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."
...
Time came to early February.
With the end of winter, the warm sunshine sprinkled on Hogwarts Castle.
There had been no petrification incidents for a month, and everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.
Argus and Hermione sat in the library, each holding a thick book.
There were 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 to investigate the basilisk.
Now that she was sorted into Ravenclaw, she didn't have to worry about her two stupid sons.
The most important thing every day was to read various books in the library with Argus.
It was just that Argus was a little regretful that he had 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 went by, she has now entered the threshold.
At least she is no longer a white man 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.
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 need your help with something."
