Chapter 268 Tom Riddle’s Diary

The next morning, students from various houses of Hogwarts sat around the long table in the dining hall.

The air is filled with the enticing smell of bread, desserts and grilled sausages.

Ron had a full appetite as usual, but Harry next to him had a tight face and seemed a little unhappy.

"What's wrong, Harry?" Ron asked with a smile while grabbing the knife and fork, "Smile, isn't it worth your happiness for a few days to win over Slytherin and that bastard Malfoy?"

"I'm not unhappy, I just haven't woken up yet..."

Harry forced a smile, then grabbed the knife and fork and started eating breakfast.

Hermione saw that he was worried, frowned, and asked in a low voice: "What happened last night?"

"……nothing."

Harry shook his head and did not tell his two friends what happened last night.

Last night, before he returned to the dormitory, the house elf Dobby appeared again. He warned Harry again and wanted him to leave the school. In his nervous words, he accidentally revealed the fact that he controlled the Bludger to attack him. .

This made Harry both sad and worried.

From Dobby's words, he could tell that the legendary secret room had really been opened, and that there was something very dangerous inside...

Hermione frowned and opened her mouth to continue asking.

But at this moment, a tall and lanky Slytherin senior passed behind Harry, causing her to subconsciously close her mouth.

Ender glanced at Harry, who was worried, and then continued forward, ignoring the strange looks from the Ravenclaw students around him, and stood behind the quiet blonde girl not far away.

"Fana, come out with me. I have something to ask you."

The cold voice caused the surrounding Ravenclaw students to whisper.

Fana frowned slightly and looked at Ander's face carefully. Seeing that he was still as calm as ever, she knew that he really had something very important to find her.

Without hesitation, Fana picked up a piece of bread, put on her schoolbag and followed him out of the restaurant.

Seeing this scene, the young and budding little girls whispered to each other, as if they began to have their own thoughts because of the two people's actions.

Arriving at a quiet corner of Hogwarts Castle, Fana took a small bite of bread and asked softly: "What on earth is going on?"

Ender waved his wand to isolate the surrounding sounds, then looked at her and said seriously: "Two things. One, the old wizard from the East has reached an agreement with Principal Dumbledore. They will start the 'East-West Exchange Student ', there are only two exchange students in the first batch, one of them is me, and the other one is a candidate. I recommended you to Principal Dumbledore."

"..."

Fana frowned and asked in confusion: "Are there any benefits to participating in this event?"

Ender said softly: "Of course there are benefits. The Eastern Wizarding World has a longer history than the Western Wizarding World, and its accumulated experience and knowledge will inevitably be quite rich. Even if you don't study in depth, it is an excellent way to broaden your horizons and enhance your strength. Chance."

Fana nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, I'm participating. What about the second thing?"

Ender's face became serious. He took out a black-covered book from his arms and laid it flat on the windowsill.

Fana was startled for a moment, then couldn't help but widen her eyes and whispered: "This is... Tom Riddle's diary?"

Ender nodded slightly, looked at the black cover of the diary and whispered softly: "Last night, someone threw this diary on my bed. I guess it was probably Ginny who was controlled by Tom Riddle... "

As time travelers who are familiar with the plot, they naturally know what the recent secret room incident is all about.

The cause of the matter is this Tom Riddle, or Voldemort's diary.

In 1943, Tom Riddle, who was in the sixth grade at Hogwarts, made this diary into a Horcrux and stored his memories of sixteen years old in it. After becoming Voldemort, he handed the diary over to Voldemort. It was given to Lucius Malfoy, who was still a Death Eater at the time, and Lucius kept the diary secretly.

Until this summer vacation, in order to discredit Arthur Weasley, expel Dumbledore from Hogwarts, and get rid of a dark magic item that could easily cause trouble, Lucius secretly stole it in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. Gave it to Ginny Weasley.

In school, Ginny quickly learned how to communicate with Tom Riddle through the diary, but she did not know that the person in the diary was the sixteen-year-old Voldemort. She just regarded him as an understanding soul. Confide and share all your inner thoughts with them.

As time goes by, young Ginny is gradually controlled by the diary due to her weak will.

Tom Riddle gradually became stronger and finally controlled Ginny, forcing her to open the secret room, release the basilisk, and write warning words on the walls of the castle corridor.

According to the normal plot development, Ginny will gradually realize the fact that she is being manipulated, and throw the diary into the toilet and flush it. Then it is flushed out by the water in the toilet, falls under the sink, and is killed by Harry. Potter picked it up.

But before all this happened, Tom Riddle's diary actually came into Ender's hands...

Fana frowned and analyzed: "Ginny is kind-hearted, and it is impossible to throw it to you after discovering that there is something wrong with the diary, so the only person who can throw it to you is Tom Riddle, who possesses Ginny, but why would he?" What about doing this?"

"Is it possible that he discovered your secret?"

Fana's subconscious guess made Ander stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but be wary: "What secret?"

"..." Fana knew she had made a mistake, so she immediately pursed her lips, shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

Ender's face was gloomy and uncertain. After thinking for a moment, he sighed: "Did you find out?"

Fana stared into his eyes and saw that there was no evil intention in his eyes, so she nodded slightly: "Do you still remember the afternoon of the third week of school? I was in the classroom and saw you taking pictures in the corridor. A mosquito dies, and then the mosquito is controlled to fly. That kind of flight is not floating, let alone coming back from the dead, but flying in the state of a dead body."

"So, I guess your magic attribute should be biased toward darkness, and you may have the ability to control dead bodies."

"..."

Ender's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Can you see this too?

Do you still remember this?

Seeing Ander in shock, Fana had a faint smile on her face.

She stretched out a white and tender finger, tapped her temple and whispered softly: "I have said that my brain is very useful and my memory is excellent. If you need it, I can also tell you what happened when you passed by that corridor." A few moves, or a few steps in total..."

Similar to Ender Kerr, Fana's powerful time traveler soul also resonates with magic, and has acquired the ability similar to the memory palace. It can retrieve past memories at any time, and conduct knowledge review and theoretical research in its sleep.

Ender couldn't help but said: "You are indeed a monster!"

Fana smiled slightly: "Thank you for the compliment!"

Ender sighed and whispered: "Well, considering that we have become partners now, I can tell you that my magic is indeed biased towards dark magic. This may be why Tom Riddle came to me. .”

"So now the question is, what do I do with this notebook?"

Fana thought for a while and said softly: "Throw it away, or return it to Ginny or other innocent people. You can't do this kind of thing, and it doesn't make much sense. Tom Riddle has already targeted it." No matter who you give it to, it may eventually come back to you, but if it is destroyed, we don’t have the ability yet..."

Ender shook his head and said, "I have already considered what you said. What I want to hear are other suggestions."

Fana nodded and said softly: "I have two suggestions here, either give it to Harry Potter to get the plot back on track, or give it to someone who has the ability to destroy it, such as Principal Dumbledore. Or a powerful wizard of the same level as him..."

Ender thought seriously for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "No, leaving it to Harry may not bring the plot back on track, and leaving it to Principal Dumbledore, then we won't be able to profit from this matter. "

Fana frowned and asked, "I've always been confused, what kind of benefits do you want to get from this matter?"

"What do you think?" Ender asked back and said calmly, "Since you know the secret I hide, you should understand how precious the basilisk's body is to me, right?"

Moreover, the basilisk's teeth, skin, and venom are all extremely rare materials, and Ender has been coveting them for a long time.

"I've already asked Principal Dumbledore." Ender said softly: "The exchange student activities will start in seven days. We don't have time to wait for Harry and the others to take action. We must enter the secret room as soon as possible..."

Fana frowned and asked, "Are you sure you can deal with the basilisk?"

Ender nodded and said: "If you attack with all your strength, then you can, and you can be sure of it."

Fana shook her head and said: "But if you plan to go all out, you can't take Harry and the others with you. But without Harry, there would be no Parseltongue. Without Parseltongue, you can't open the door to the secret room - unless you use the help of Parseltongue." His help."

Speaking of the last sentence, Fana turned her eyes to the diary, and then sighed softly.

"So, you have already made up your mind, right..."

Then why are you asking me?

Fana added something silently in her mind, but she did not say it out loud.

Ender fell silent, apparently acquiescing to this fact.

Fana looked at the diary and asked softly: "Have you ever tried to communicate with Tom Riddle in the diary?"

"not yet……"

Ander shook his head and said, "I want to discuss it with you first, and then decide whether to communicate with him."

Fana was slightly startled when she heard this, and then the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing two shallow dimples on her fair face.
