Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

46. ​​Chapter 46 Tom Riddle's Diary

    The three men were shocked and rushed up the steps into the dark foyer. Before the cages of Crabbe and Goyle were held, Ivan and Harry threw the shoes there, slid into the marble stairs and rushed into the girls' bathroom on the third floor.

    Then they saw Ron standing in a panic.

    "Ron, how are you here?"Hermione asked in surprise.

    “Madam Pomfrey said that I can go. She suggested that I go to the auditorium to attend the Christmas party with everyone, but I think I should come here to see you.”

    "So what did you see?"Ivan eagerly asked, Justin was attacked and the chamber was opened again while they were not in the bathroom.

    "No, I just came back when you came in."Ron said, "How is the plan and the plan going?"

    "Don't mention it, it's awful, everything went smoothly. We even married Malfoy, but it was discovered by Snape. When I fled, I saw Justin being petrified. He was lying in the basement entrance mirror. Before, this is the third attack."Harry turned his head down.

    "The third attack?!"Ron took a breath of cold air and looked even more frightened than the three of them. "Is it Malfoy…"

    "I don't think he is. He was with us in the Slytherin common room when the attack occurred."Harry shook his head. "But it's not a complete waste of time. Although it's not clear who launched these attacks, we got some intelligence from Malfoy, which is a very important clue."

    Harry and Ron and Hermione whispered, and Ivan saw a ripped black cover book underneath Ron's cracked mirror.

    His heart suddenly mentioned the eyes of the blind man, his eyes wide open, his hands clenched his fists hard.

    Good heavens, this is not going to be Tom Riddle's diary!

    He looked for this stuff in the school for half a year, and when he was unable to do anything, when the situation worsened, it suddenly appeared in front of him.

    Ivan stepped forward and tried to pick it up, but Ron suddenly reached out and pulled him.

    "Ivan, don't touch it, it can be dangerous!"Ron's face is scary.

    "What is this?"Harry also came over and looked at the things in the pool. "Don't be awkward, how can a book be dangerous?"

    "You will be surprised to say it!"Ron looked at the diary with horror. "My dad told me that some books confiscated by the Ministry of Magic, one of them will burn your eyes. Anyone who has read the book "Wizard's Sonnet" can only use five lines of oil to speak in his life. An old wizard from Bath has a book that you can never put down at first glance! When you go anywhere, you bury your face in the book, you have to learn to do everything with one hand, and…"

    "Okay, I already understand what you mean."Ivan bowed around Ron and tried to pick up the diary.

    "No, you don't understand!"Ron shouted loudly with a sharp voice and saw the other three people staring at himself with surprise. He hurriedly lowered his voice. "Trust me, Ivan, this thing is dangerous, we still don't touch it."

    "Be careful, it's really good, but we only have to look at it before we know what it is, isn't it?"Ivan took the diary up.

    As soon as he started, he was sure that this was Tom Riddle's diary, Voldemort's Horcrux.

    He tried to calm his mood and flipped through the faded black cover. On the first page, a name written in obscure ink: Tom Riddle.

    "Tom Riddle, who is this person?"Hermione frowned and said, "It’s strange that he is definitely not a Hogwarts student at school, but I have an impression of him, as if I have seen the name somewhere."

    “Tom Riddle received a special contribution award from the school 50 years ago.”Ivan whispered.

    "I remembered it, I read it on the "Hogwarts Calendar of Events", but I didn't say why he won the award."Hermione said.

    "Whatever is possible, maybe he caught thirty owls or rescued a teacher from the giant claws of the big squid."Ron whispered, "I don't understand why we don't throw this thing away, it looks dirty."

    "Fifty years ago, when the Chamber of Secrets was last opened, maybe this diary has anything to do with the Chamber of Secrets."Ivan studied the diary in his hand.

    "Really, show me!"Harry hurriedly took the diary and flipped it over. He said with disappointment, "There was no word written inside."

    He turned the diary to the back cover and saw the name of a newspaper seller on Vauxhall Road in London.

    "Riddle must be a muggle," he said thoughtfully. "So he will buy a diary on Vauxhall Road."

    "Well, anyway, this stuff doesn't do much to us."Ron said quickly, "Let me see it, or throw it here."

    "No, I think Ivan said it makes sense."Hermione squinted, which made her look like Professor McGonagall. "Think about it. Since Riddle was a man 50 years ago, he must not be in Hogwarts now. Who brought this diary to school? Why? Throw it away?"

    "We know from Malfoy that the person who opened the secret room last time was fired fifty years ago, and this Tom Riddle received a special contribution award to the school at that time. So, will Riddle win the prize because he caught the successor of Scotlin? His diary is likely to tell us everything: where is the secret room, how to open it, what kind of animal is inside. The person who made these attacks this time would not want this diary to be littered everywhere, right? ”

    "Excellent reasoning."Ron wrinkled his nose and said, "There is only a little bit of a fly in the ointment. Nothing was written in his diary. ”

    "Maybe invisible ink!"Hermione took the magic trick from the bag on the side. She knocked the diary three times with the wand stick and said, "Aparecium!"

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

    "This is the visible eraser, I got it at Diagon Alley."She rubbed hard on the first page of the date "January 1" and nothing happened.

    "You won't find anything in it."

    Ron said, "This Riddle got a diary for Christmas and was not happy to spend time on it."

    ButHermione is not willing to say.

    "I have a strange familiarity with this Riddle. He seems to be a friend I have forgotten for a long time, but it is definitely ridiculous. I definitely have no friends before coming to Hogwarts, not to mention that Riddle was still a fifty years ago. people."Harry followed.

    "That's just your illusion."Ron continued, "Just throw it here, think about it, when everyone else celebrates Christmas, we stay in a no-female girl in the bathroom, facing a ragged, nothing. The diary written is in a daze."

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

    "Okay, okay, since you think so, I have an idea."Ron whispered, "Ivan, give it to me, I will mail it to my father, who is an expert in dealing with this."

    "No, Ron!"Ivan shook his head and put the diary in his bag. "I think it's better to put it in my place. I recently saw a developing potion in the book, maybe it can make it reveal hidden secrets." ."

    I don't know if it's an illusion. Ivan found Ron's face paler in the dark candlelight mapping of the bathroom.
