A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 131 Diary

After hearing Owen's statement, Harry did not continue to ask questions, but just stared at him silently.

His eyes are deep and thoughtful.

Owen smiled calmly. He didn't care whether Harry believed it or not. Since the other party stopped talking, he assumed that he believed it.

"I'm going back to the dormitory first." He looked at the armchair occupied by Harry with some reluctance, held Melet into his arms with a resentful look, and walked towards the entrance of the dormitory aggrievedly.

Act, keep acting! Harry angrily crossed his shoulders, closed his eyes and crossed his legs, sitting like a boss.

Owen clicked his tongue and walked slowly back to the dormitory. Under the bright silver light with light green color, the playfulness in his eyes slowly converged, and his eyes became as dark and cold as a black lake at night, and his face

His expression became deep and indifferent.

He sat at the desk next to the bed, holding the side of his face in a fist with his left hand, and slowly stroking the table with his right hand.

"So, Voldemort has returned to Hogwarts?" His fingers gently clasped the tabletop, and the sound of "tap-tat" echoed monotonously in the dormitory. "He didn't find a place to hide and seize the time to resurrect.

Are you risking being caught to come to Hogwarts and get under Dumbledore's nose? "What are you doing?"

"For Harry?" Owen put himself in his shoes and analyzed the other person's psychology. He didn't want to get involved in this mess, but he was curious about Voldemort's purpose and thoughts. Well, curiosity is always the greatest driving force for people.

"I remember it being a kind of container to store memories," Irving wrote.

Two paragraphs slowly appeared on the page. The fonts were smooth and beautiful, which was pleasing to the eye:

"I mean, is a nose important to a person?"

"The owner of the diary just hopes to keep his memories of sixteen years old in the diary, hoping that when he passes away, there will still be some traces in this world. This may not be worth mentioning to you, but

For the owner of the diary, this is extremely precious, and this is why I exist."

"So... who is the second Dark Lord? You know, when I was created, Grindelwald's reputation was at its peak." Tom's handwriting became heavier.

"I didn't expect that Dumbledore has become the principal. When I was studying here, he was still the transfiguration professor. In fact, I don't like him either, but how did he become the greatest wizard?"

He will definitely want to explore Harry's depth and find a way to deal with this threat...but all this must be done after resurrection!

But judging from Ron Weasley's inconsistent performance, Voldemort has obviously not been fully resurrected. Even if he is confident that Dumbledore does not know about the Horcruxes, it is extremely extreme to rashly appear at Hogwarts, where Dumbledore is taking great care of him.

Unwise behavior. With this skill, wouldn't it be a good idea for him to instruct Peter Pettigrew to resurrect himself first?

Of course, Voldemort's thoughts may not be measured by normal people's way of thinking, but splitting the soul should only make people become more and more twisted and paranoid, rather than splitting their IQ!

If he is Voldemort's crowned Horcrux, his memory is fixed at the moment it was split. Having no relevant memory, he will definitely be very curious about what secrets Harry has after learning that he was defeated by a baby.

and strength.

"Why do you want to destroy me?" the handwriting on the diary asked.

"Then let's change the question, where is the crown?" Owen opened his eyes, holding a quill and writing on the parchment.

"Because he defeated the first Dark Lord Grindelwald in 1945 and imprisoned him in the tower of Nurmengard until today. It is said that he is also the person most feared by the second Dark Lord, even if the original Dark Lord

Even when I was at my peak, I couldn't get into Hogwarts."

If you want to explore the secrets of Horcruxes, isn't this the best research object?

Owen is not afraid that he will be taken advantage of by this diary Horcrux. As long as he is not tempted and does not completely open his heart and soul to the other party, it will be difficult for it to take advantage of it. What's more, this diary was only made by Voldemort when he was sixteen.

Yes, he was probably not much stronger than Owen now, and the remnant soul in the diary would only be much weaker.

Just like many criminal suspects like to return to the scene of the crime under the nose of the police after committing a crime, I have to say that there is a part of the provocation mentality involved.

Seeing that the diary remained motionless, as if he had made up his mind to observe it for a while longer, Owen dipped in ink again, blacked out the entire previous paragraph, and wrote below: "Remember, you must remember to take this diary after you finish writing it."

Burn it! Don’t leave even a single page behind!”

"Okay, let me ask you...is the nose important?"

"Who are you?" Owen raised his eyebrows and wrote below.

He would not know why he suddenly decided to kill a baby. After all, the prophecy was a secret known to only a few people. But the reason why he was able to do it himself at the height of his power must be because he felt a threat, a possibility that would make him

The threat of his own death, and the facts indeed proved it - Voldemort died, but Harry was unharmed.

For the first time, Owen felt a wave of Legilimency coming from the diary, but it was very weak. He slowly squinted his eyes, and used the now-very good Occlumency technique, giving feedback to the other party that he had no feeling at all.

The idea of ​​lying.

"No." Owen paused, "Then I can chat with you."

"Of course, after so many years, I really hope someone can talk to me. If you are willing to communicate with me, I may be able to help you solve some confusions to a certain extent, although I hope someone can treat me as a true friend.

"

"Since Voldemort has not completely controlled Ron Weasley, then it is very likely that the crown will not be too far away from him, or even on him?" He narrowed his eyes and thought, "But the other Weasley family members are abnormal.

And why? Could Voldemort be able to control several people at the same time? Or should we say, the Imperius Curse?"

"Of course it's important..."

However, judging from the behavior of the Weasley twins in the Room of Requirement that day, it did not seem like they were under the Imperius Curse. People controlled by the Imperius Curse will only do things according to the orders of the caster, and will not treat Owen out of context.

Revealing so much information and even giving him advice to keep him away from the crown.

"Horcrux... I still know too little about Horcrux."

"So, if one of the Horcruxes is resurrected, what will happen to the main soul? Will there be two Voldemorts in this world? No one wants another version of themselves to appear in the world. Will they kill each other?"

"There are not many people who have touched the crown, but there are also quite a few..." He wrote a few names on the paper.

Next, the crown was sold to Penelope Crevat, the prefect of Ravenclaw, which was brokered by Percy Weasley who was pursuing her. There is a high probability that Crevat who bought the crown would

Try wearing it to verify its authenticity, and Percy, who has also been exposed to the crown...it's hard to say whether he has tried it.

"That's right, the famous Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived. It is said that the Dark Lord killed his parents and failed for some reason when he planned to kill him. People say that Harry Potter is

The Dark Lord's nemesis may be a dark wizard born with terrible magical power, so he can defeat the most powerful Dark Lord at that time..."

This can explain why he let Peter Pettigrew come to Hogwarts, because he needs a helper. This helper not only helps him cover up and deal with Harry, but also does other things for him?

"What a coincidence. I also studied here, and I also studied in Slytherin. This is the best college, isn't it? By the way, can you tell me who the current principal is?"

Voldemort is not a fool, on the contrary, he has always been a very smart person. Even if he later became paranoid and violent due to splitting his soul, it does not mean that he can no longer think about problems calmly. Such a person would really be so passionate

For a method of immortality that has such terrible hidden dangers in the future, you even disdain the use of the magic stone to achieve immortality?

Owen suddenly became very interested in the secret of Horcruxes. His eyes flickered for a moment, then he took out Tom's diary from the suitcase, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.

"Yes, the pensieve can preserve the wizard's memory for a long time, ensuring that it does not deteriorate, and can also take people to travel into the world of that memory. This diary is similar. Nice to meet you, future wizard

, may I know your name?”

This time, the diary finally couldn't hold it any longer. Although the Horcrux could not be destroyed by ordinary means, it would be dangerous if its special features were discovered.

"Great. So, you still don't want to tell me your name?"

"This diary has been cast with a clever magic, which can preserve a part of a person's long-lasting memories like a pensieve." The diary wrote in a sloppy way, leading the question in another direction, "Do you know about the pensieve?"

?”

Owen turned his quill and continued to write: "Harry Potter is still my classmate. Dumbledore thinks highly of him. I think he probably wants to train the Boy-Who-Lived to be his successor or something."

…”

"Diaries are not supposed to be able to talk."

"What could it be?" He closed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table, "There is still a lack of information..."

"Well, maybe he really just wants to go back to this place that has special meaning to him?" Owen conducted an in-depth analysis from a psychological perspective.

"?" Tom slowly drew a question mark.

"Such a question is not polite. My name is Tom Riddle, and this is the diary of a wizard from his school days."

"Then, twelve years ago, he fell. He was defeated by a newborn baby and never appeared again." The corners of Owen's mouth couldn't stop rising.

"I don't dare to just write my name on a magical item that I don't know the details of... You see, I have no idea what the purpose of your creation is."

After writing this, Owen paused for a while and saw no response from the diary, so he continued writing: "Well, I decided to start writing a diary from today. As for why I used this broken diary that I picked up, because the diary is a very personal thing.

, once someone accidentally sees it, I won’t be the one who is embarrassed. This is T. M. Riddle’s diary, what does it have to do with me?”

This means that there is very little information about Horcruxes, and a lot of information is probably only known to the people who made the Horcruxes themselves.

"Okay, I'm willing to wait for the moment when you open your heart to me. It seems that you are still a student at Hogwarts?"

"The headmaster is Albus Dumbledore. People say he is the greatest wizard in the world today. Although I don't like him very much because he always takes Muggles and Muggle-born wizards too seriously.

But I have to admit that it is true," Owen wrote.

"No, maybe this is not the most important reason..." Owen suddenly shook his head, "What if there is something in Hogwarts worth his plot?"

First, the Weasley twins found the crown in the Room of Requirement and brought it out. They kept the crown in their hands for a while, and it's hard to say whether they ever wore it.

"That's fine, but it seems like I'm the one answering your questions?"

"The second Dark Lord, oh, we don't dare to mention his name, even though he has disappeared for more than ten years." Owen smiled playfully and continued to write, "I actually still feel a little regretful, it is rare.

There is such a great wizard with superb magic who protects the interests of our pure bloods. He leads his followers, a group of wizards who call themselves Death Eaters, and sweeps the entire magical world, determined to drive away those mudbloods and let the wizards

Being a Muggle master..."

It has been almost two and a half months since the crown was discovered. How much time is left?

From the time the method of making Horcruxes was invented to the present day, there have been very few people who dared to do something cruel to their own souls. Even if someone secretly made one, they must have kept it secret. So far, there are no known production methods.

Apart from the despicable Herb, the inventor of Horcruxes, the only person who had possessed Horcruxes was Voldemort.

"Speaking of which, this Horcrux was made by Voldemort at his peak. Ravenclaw's crown itself is a powerful magical item. This Horcrux must be much more powerful than the diary." Owen thought, "The original

In the plot, the diary took nearly a year to completely control Ginny and was close to resurrection, so how long will this crown last?"

He stopped writing. After a while, Tom couldn't wait to ask, and his handwriting became a little sloppy: "What then?"

"Newborn...baby?" Tom's handwriting was crooked, and the question mark at the end was heavily written.

"Yeah, I'm in Slytherin House, I'm in my second year now."

"Successor?" Tom's handwriting was a little distorted. He paused and finally got out of his isolation and regained his fighting spirit. "A baby who can defeat the Dark Lord is really curious... Can you tell me more about him?

Something about?"

"Of course you can ask me. As long as I know, I will tell you the truth. Of course, I can also help you answer your doubts about learning. Although I was only made by a sixteen-year-old boy, I think I am right.

I have mastered my studies in the lower grades quite well." Tom responded thoughtfully.

"I understand your hesitation. A lot of people will tell you this: never trust anything that can think for itself unless you can find where its brain is. But I'm no different than a photo or a portrait. All I know is

These were all taught to me by the original owner of the diary. Would you object to talking to a painting?"

Tom was silent, seeming to have fallen into deep doubts about life.

For Voldemort, Hogwarts is actually a place of great significance, and Dumbledore is his biggest enemy. Perhaps he would be happy to return to school in a big way, resurrect under Dumbledore's nose and kill Harry

, so that he would win a round and could proudly appreciate Dumbledore's anger, regret and powerlessness...

"But what exactly is the resurrection of a Horcrux? Can it really create a body from scratch?" Owen suddenly thought, "If not, then does Voldemort still need to find a way to create a body, such as something like

The same as what was done in the original work, trying to gain Harry's power and use his blood?"

All the ink marks on the yellowed paper page flickered, and then disappeared without a trace in an instant as if they were sucked into the paper. Then, a line of writing was revealed on it, using the same ink as before.

He reached out and gently touched the old black cover of the diary, then opened the first page, dipped his quill in ink, thought for a moment, and wrote on the blank page with a joking expression:

"On September 10th, it was raining non-stop outside Hogwarts Castle, which made me feel a little depressed. Today I confessed my love to Daphne and was rejected. How can I bear this injustice? I just learned the leg-locking spell,"

With a snap, I pushed her to the ground and gave her a good beating..."

"If we start from this direction, it seems not difficult to deduce Voldemort's purpose of returning to Hogwarts at this time." Owen pursed his lips, looked at his suitcase, and his eyes lit up faintly.

"Sorry, I think we all need some time to get to know each other, right?"

"What a... dramatic scene, like a ridiculous fairy tale." Tom's handwriting emerged slowly.

"It is said that Ravenclaw's crown has the magic power to increase wisdom. Maybe after being made into a Horcrux, it has some ability to influence other people's minds?" Owen drew on the paper, "But this is just a guess, it is a fact.

It might be terribly wrong."

In the end, the crown disappeared in the hands of Crevat. But there were only a few people who knew about it, and there was a high probability that the crown was still in their hands. As for whether it was obtained by others in the process, Owen had no way of knowing.

.

During this time, they placed the diadem on Ron Weasley's head. Poor guy, apparently Voldemort could control him from time to time, and it was probably during this period that Scabbers' anomaly was discovered.

Looking at this long paragraph, Owen raised his lips and seemed to hesitate for a while before writing: "But are you really trustworthy?"

"Then, why would someone even want their own noses?"

"I think that must be an idiot." Tom's handwriting appeared hesitantly, obviously confused by Owen's question.

"Oh——" Owen smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, the door to the dormitory opened. He closed the diary in his hand very naturally and put it into his pocket.
