Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 45 Tom Riddles Diary

Three people were shocked and rushed to the stairs, entering the dark hall, where Ivan and Harry threw their shoes in front of the cabinets where Krabs and Gore were being held, walking up the marble stairs in socks and into the girls' bathroom on the third floor.

Then they saw Ron standing in panic.

“Ron, what are you doing here?” Hermione asked in surprise.

“Mrs. Pomfrey said I could go, and she suggested I come to the auditorium and join you at the Christmas party, but I think I should come and see you first. ”

“Did you see anything?” Ivan was anxious to ask that Justin had been attacked and that the secret room had been opened again while they were away from the bathroom.

“No, I just came in and you guys came back.” Ron Komba said, "How's the plan going? ”

“Forget it, it sucked, everything was fine, we even beat Malfoy, but then Snape found out, and on the run, Justin was seen petrified, lying in front of a big mirror at the entrance to the basement, which was the third attack.” Harry drooped his head and lost his airway.

“Third attack?!” Ron sucked in a breath of cold air and looked more frightened than the three of them, "Isn't Malfoy...”

“I don't think it was him, he stayed with us in the Slytherin Public Lounge when the attack happened.” Harry shook his head, "but it wasn't a complete waste of time, and although we didn't know who launched these attacks, we got some information from Malfoy, which is an important clue. ”

Harry and Ron and Hermione whispered, and Ivan saw a broken mirror behind Ron with a broken black cover book.

His heart suddenly spoke of his voice, his eyes staring wide and his hands squeezing his fists hard.

Oh, my God, isn't this Tom Riddle's diary?

He searched for this thing in school for half a year, and it suddenly appeared to him just as he was getting worse and worse.

Ivan took a step forward and tried to pick it up, but Ron suddenly stretched out an arm and pulled him.

“Evan, don't touch it. It could be dangerous!” Ron was pale and scary.

“What is this?” Harry came along and looked at what was in the sink. "Don't be ridiculous. How can a book be dangerous? ”

“You'll be surprised to say it!” Ron looked at the diary with fear, "my dad told me, some books confiscated by the Ministry of Magic, one of which would burn your eyes blind. Anyone who has read the book" The Wizard's Fourteenth Line "can only speak with five lines of oil poetry in their lifetime. One of Buzz's old wizards has a book that you can never put down once you see it! Wherever you go, you bury your face in a book and learn to do everything with one hand, and..."

“Well, I see what you mean.” Ivan bowed his head around Ron and tried to pick up the diary.

“No, you don't understand!” Ron shouted out loud in a sharp voice and saw three other people looking at themselves surprised, and he hurriedly lowered his voice, "Believe me, Evan, this thing is dangerous, let's not touch it. ”

“It's nice to be careful, but we'll only know what's in it if we read it first, won't we?” Ivan picked up the diary.

As soon as he got there, he could be sure that this was Tom Riddle's diary, Voldemort's Horcrux.

He tried to calm down and looked at the black envelope that had begun to fade, on the first page, a name written in blurry ink: Tom Riddle.

“Tom Riddle, who is this man?” Hermione frowned and said, "It's strange that he's definitely not a Hogwarts student at school, but I remember him, as if he'd seen the name somewhere. ”

“Tom Riddles won the Special Contribution Award for Schools 50 years ago.” Ivan whispered.

“I remember, I read about it in Hogwarts Calendar, but it didn't say why he won the award.” Hermione said.

“Anything is possible, maybe he caught thirty owls, or saved a teacher from a giant squid claw.” Ron whispered, "I don't understand why we don't throw this thing away, it looks dirty. ”

“Fifty years ago, exactly when the Chamber of Secrets was last opened, maybe this diary had something to do with the Chamber of Secrets.” Evan carefully studied the diary in hand.

“Really, show me!” Harry hurried to bring the diary over and flip it and said with disappointment, "Not a word was written in it. ”

He turned the diary over to the back and saw the name of a newspaper dealer on Walkershall Road in London.

“Riddle must be a muggle," he said thoughtfully, "which is why he bought the diary on Vauxhall Road. ”

“Well, it doesn't do us much good anyway.” Ron said in a hurry, "You want me to see it, just leave it here. ”

“No, I think Ivan has a point.” Hermione closed her eyes, which made her look very much like Professor MacGruber, "think about it, since Riddle was from 50 years ago, he must not be in Hogwarts right now, who took this diary to school and why throw it away? ”

“We know from Malfoy that the last person to open the Chamber of Secrets was expelled fifty years ago, and that Tom Riddle was awarded the Special Contribution to School just then. So, is Riddle going to win the prize for grabbing Slaterling's heir? His diary probably tells us everything: where the secret room is, how to open it, what kind of animal is inside it. The man who did these attacks this time wouldn't want this diary to go around, would he? ”

“Excellent reasoning.” Ron wrinkled his nose and said, "There's just a little bit of beauty. There's nothing in his diary. ”

“Maybe invisible ink!” Hermione pulled the magic trick out of the schoolbag she put aside, and she knocked the diary three times with her wand and said, "Hurry up! ”

No response, Hermione was not discouraged and reached into the bag and pulled out a thing, like a bright red rubber.

“It's shaped rubber, I got it in Diagonal Lane.” She scrubbed hard on the first page date "January 1st” and nothing turned up.

“You won't find anything in here. ”

Ron said, "This Riddle is getting a diary for Christmas, and I'm not happy that it took the time to write something on it. ”

“But...” Hermione said unwillingly.

“I have a strange familiarity with this Riddle, who seems to be a friend I've forgotten for a long time, but it must be ridiculous, because I definitely didn't have any friends before I came to Hogwarts, not to mention this Riddle, who was a man 50 years ago.” Harry followed.

“It's just an illusion.” Ron went on to say, "Just leave it here, and think about it, while everyone's celebrating Christmas, we're stunned in an empty girls' bathroom with a broken, unwritten diary. ”

“I think there must be something hidden in there, but we haven't found it yet.” Ivan took the diary back.

“Well, well, since you all think so, I do have an idea.” Ron lowered his voice and said, "Ivan, leave it to me and I'll mail it to my father, who is an expert in handling the items. ”

“No, Ron!” Ivan shook his head and put the diary in his bag, "I thought it would be better to keep it with me, and I recently saw in the book a projection potion that might reveal a hidden secret. ”

Don't know if it's an illusion, but under the dark candlelight in the bathroom, Ivan finds Ron's face seemingly paler.
