Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

48. Chapter 48, the second confrontation

    Time flies quickly and turns into February.

    After a brief communication on Christmas, Ivan did not try to contact Tom Riddle again. He thought it was necessary to leave the opponent for a while.

    The atmosphere in the school has been tense, although there have been no more attacks since Justin Finlay was attacked, and Mandela grass has begun to mature, but most of the students are still in the grass.

    In this case, Lockhart seems to think that he needs to do something.

    When a section of Defense Against the Dark Arts was about to go to class, he said to everyone, "You don't have to worry about it, the Chamber of Secrets will never be opened." Those criminals must have known that I will catch them sooner or later, just a matter of time. Hey, I haven’t started to pack them yet, it’s wise to stop now. ”

    There was a talk in the audience, and most people expressed doubts about his statement.

    "What is needed in school now is to encourage morale and eliminate the bad things in memory! I can't say more now, but I think I have the confidence. ”

    By the time of breakfast on February 14th, everyone knows what way Lockhart is using to boost morale.

    When Ivan entered the auditorium early in the morning, I saw four large walls of dazzling pink flowers. To make matters worse, there are many heart-shaped confetti that keep falling from the light blue ceiling.

    In the teacher's seat, Lockhart wore a bright pink robe that matched the decorations, and the professors sitting across from him were all squinting. Professor McGonagall's muscles on his cheeks swelled up; as for Snape's, it was as if someone had just given him a large glass of spirits.

    Next, Lockhart made a self-proclaimed announcement, and he arranged a small surprise for everyone.

    From the doors leading to the foyer, striding into the twelve gloomy dwarfs, unlike the usual dwarfs, they all had golden wings and a harp.

    Loha insists that they are friendly, little love gods with greeting cards!

    He encourages students to use them to deliver Valentine's Day cards, or to ask Snape how to modulate Ecstasy.

    Ivan didn't know if anyone dared to ask Snape about the Ecstasy modulation method, but these dwarfs kept rushing through the school and sending Valentine's Day cards.

    Among them, he received the most greeting cards, nearly two hundred.

    This made him the most unpopular person by the teachers. When a dwarf broke into the Transfiguration classroom for the twelfth time, Professor McGonagall's face ugly pushed Ivan out of the classroom with the other party.

    The two men looked at each other for a long time in the corridor. The dwarf seemed to remember his mission. This time he brought a Valentine's Day gift to Ivan.

    But Ivan's is faster than him. He pulls out wand, and a neat "lock tongue" spell makes the whole world quiet.

    In order to prevent other dwarfs from harassing themselves, Ivan sullenly walked back to the common room, where no one was quiet.

    He couldn't force the bag to be thrown onto the sofa, and Tom Riddle's diary fell out of it.

    Ivan's eyes flashed, and this coincidence was not so happy, he determined that his schoolbag would not be loose.

    It seems that after more than a month of cold, the other party has been a little too late.

    Ivan opened the diary and didn't wait for him to write. There was an article on it that perfectly solved the Potions assignment he had asked last time.

    "Riddle, I have already handed in the assignment myself. Professor Snape gave me a bad evaluation. My problem now is…"Ivan's mouth was slightly upturned and he immediately wrote up the problems he encountered during his recent magic research.

    After about a minute, there was another answer on the diary.

    Riddle's perfect answer to Ivan's problems gave him a feeling of openness and a few that were even deeper than the professors' understanding.

    In this way, Ivan started the second communication with Tom Riddle.

    Every night, when everyone is asleep, he quietly takes out the diary and writes about the difficulties he encountered in magic research. The problem is getting more and more difficult, and many of them are not a normal young wizard. Should be mastered.

    Riddle didn't seem to notice, it was still Ivan asking what he answered, and sometimes even actively teaching the relevant magic knowledge.

    In addition to answering questions, Riddle always wanted to talk to Ivan about the secret room, and wanted to tell him who opened the secret room fifty years ago.

    But every time Ivan moved the topic at the most critical time or directly closed the diary, Riddle gradually adapted to Ivan's leaping communication. A strange tacit agreement between the two is often that he first talks about a relationship with the secret room, and then Ivan's question time.

    As a young age Voldemort, Tom Riddle has a very strong knowledge base, and he can answer almost all the questions Ivan asks as long as he wishes.

    From the simplest classroom assignments to the most esoteric Magical Theory.

    For example, Ivan's method of recording sounds that have long plagued Ivan, Riddle gave him a modified copy spell that saved a piece of sound on any item, saving time and the magic power of the caster and the use of the material.

    Thanks to the help of Riddle, the overall level of the “Academic Research” section of “Hogwarts Magic” is no longer full of boring articles like cauldron and Crumple-Horned Snorkack, but a real magical study.

    After a Transfiguration, Professor McGonagall even told Ivan that his depth of research in Animagus transformation surprised her.

    In addition, Mr. Gufe, the editor-in-chief of Daily Prophet, who has been paying attention to this newspaper, also expressed his willingness to reprint some of the research articles. Ivan even received many drafts of professional magical academic journals.

    Of course, most of these are the results of Tom Riddle's research.

    I don't know the editors of the magazines who have made contributions to Ivan. After knowing that the academic articles they published were written by Voldemort, will they be directly scared to faint.

    In just over a month, Ivan has progressed very fast.

    He learned from Riddle a lot of theoretical knowledge that would not be taught in class, including even dark magic. In fact, the other party seems to have been deliberately or inadvertently teaching dark magic to Ivan and encouraging him to use these magic in words.

    Initially, Ivan didn't feel anything unusual.

    He simply feels that these magical powers are very large and much larger than normal spells.

    After consulting with Professor Flitwick, he realized that these were all dark magic that Tom Riddle had been teaching himself.

    Until that time, Ivan did not realize the seriousness of the problem. He even thinks that knowing more about dark magic is very helpful for improving his strength.

    After a long period of time, he finally noticed that something was wrong. These dark magic seemed to have a negative impact on his thinking. He gradually became irritable, violent, and sensitive. When he practiced using these dark magics, there were some cruel thoughts in his head.

    Especially during a recent conflict with Malfoy, Ivan took out wand without thinking about it and used a spell he just learned.

    This curse is somewhat similar to the "Sectumsempra" invented by Snape, but it is more powerful. If it is hit, Malfoy estimates that it is too much, because Tom Riddle has not taught him to curse.

    Fortunately, Ivan was awake at the last moment, and the curse was hit in the air by the side, and no one made the consequences of unreturnable.

    This incident made him afraid, this is an extremely dangerous signal.

    He suddenly understood why Riddle was uncharacteristic and taught himself the reasons for this magical knowledge. This is one of his confusing means.

    Riddle was looking for a hole in Ivan's mind. Since Ivan was wary of him and was not interested in the Chamber of Secrets, he used powerful magical power to lure him down. If Ivan is lost in power, Riddle can take the opportunity to control him.

    Even if you can't control it, Ivan's final result is likely to become a cruel dark wizard like Voldemort.

    Since then, Ivan has never dared to touch the diary, and Tom Riddle is so terrible that he can gradually control one's mind invisibly.

    Even like Ivan, people who are highly vigilant from the very beginning are no exception.
