Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Assault?!" Snape said with narrowed eyes, "you two idiots, why didn't you take him to the school hospital immediately."

"This..." Ivan stopped, and he said in a panic, "We are not sure whether we should move him before you go over, it seems to have something to do with the previous two attacks, maybe it was that Slytherin The successor did it."

Because of the continuous deformation and distortion, the expression on his face looked more stupid than Crabbe's usually. Fortunately, the surrounding light was dim, and Snape didn't notice it.

"You wait here, watch over this girl, no one is allowed to leave until I come back." Snape took out his wand and hurried out.

"Go!" Seeing Snape disappear from the corridor, Al and Harry grabbed Hermione and ran away.

"Thank goodness!" Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. "Snape saw my disguise, and he threatened me to reveal who I was or give me Veritaserum."

"Veritaserum?!"

"Yeah." Hermione nodded, "but he didn't do that, he must have guessed who I am and what I've taken, so he's waiting for the Polyjuice Potion to wear off, thank you all at this time Hurry up, and it will be too late if you are later."

"We'd better hurry back to the third-floor bathroom."

Harry felt his feet slipping inside Goyle's large shoes and his body shrinking, and he had to pick up his clothes.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed to have tripped over something and fell heavily to the ground.

Ivan and Hermione stopped, and by the dim candlelight in the corridor, they could see clearly what tripped Harry.

Immediately, the expressions of the two were extremely shocked.

"It's Justin, he was attacked..." Hermione put her hand over her mouth to keep herself from screaming.

In front of them, Justin Fletcher was lying on the floor, stiff all over, with a pained expression on his face, his eyes were looking straight ahead, and following his gaze, he could see the side facing the hall. The large mirror was shattered by something, and it was completely shattered, with tiny shards of glass covering Justin's whole body.

Harry stood up, and he also noticed Justin lying on the ground.

As if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, he looked at the other party with shortness of breath, and a strange flush appeared on his frightened face.

It was too late to express an opinion. In the next second, Aiwen found that the three of them had completely changed.

It was the worst possible scenario, a third attack happened and they were the first to arrive at the crime scene again.

What would people say if they saw it?

Come to think of it, Justin had a run-in with Harry recently at the Dueling Club, and there were rumors all over the school that the three of them were going to attack him, and now he was being attacked, right in front of them.Especially since they were still wearing baggy Slytherin school uniforms, which was almost an open cadence to join Slytherin.

But Ivan can be sure that Snape will not welcome them.

When he found out from Malfoy what was going on, he'd find out that Goyle and Crabbe were fake too, and it wouldn't be long before they came back.

Then, he will see such a scene in front of him, no accident, they will be kicked out.

"Leave him alone, let's go." Ivan said eagerly.

"We can't let him lie here, we have to get help."

"Don't be silly, Hermione, if someone finds out, can you prove that it has nothing to do with it? Especially since we're still wearing Slytherin uniforms, how are you going to explain to others that we just took a little Polyjuice Potion, and Beat Malfoy up and did nothing else."

"It's Christmas, and he might just lie here forever," Hermione hesitated.

"Don't worry, Snape will be back soon, and he will send Justin to the school hospital." Harry followed.

"But……"

"Don't worry, even if you want to help him, you have to wait until we go back to the bathroom and change our clothes."

After speaking, Aiwen took her hand and ran wildly again.

Chapter 46 Tom Riddle's Diary

The three people were still in shock, rushed up the steps, entered the dark hall, before the locker where Crabbe and Goyle were held, Ivan and Harry threw their shoes there, ran up the marble stairs in socks, and rushed into the third floor. Girls bathroom.

Then, they saw Ron standing inside in a panic.

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

"Madame Pomfrey said that I can go. She suggested that I go to the auditorium to join everyone in the Christmas banquet, but I think I should come here to see you first."

"Then did you see anything?" Ivan asked eagerly. Justin was attacked, and during the time they were not in the bathroom, the secret room was opened again.

"No, you came back as soon as I came in." Ron stammered, "How is the plan going?"

"Don't mention it, it's terrible. Everything went well at first. We even beat Malfoy up, but then Snape found out. When we were running away, we saw Justin being petrified. He lay In front of the large mirror at the basement entrance, this is the third attack." Harry said dejectedly.

"The third attack?!" Ron gasped, looking more frightened than the three of them, "Is it Malfoy..."

"I don't think it was him. He was with us in the Slytherin common room when the attack happened." Harry shook his head. We got some information from Malfoy, which is a very important clue."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione whispered, and Ivan saw a book with a tattered black cover under the cracked mirror behind Ron.

His heart suddenly rose to his throat, his eyes widened, and his hands clenched into fists.

My God, could this be Tom Riddle's diary?

He had been looking for this thing in school for more than half a year, and when he was at a loss and the situation was getting worse, it suddenly appeared in front of him.

Ivan stepped forward, trying to pick it up, but Ron suddenly stretched out an arm and pulled him back.

"Ivan, don't touch it, it may be dangerous!" Ron's face turned pale and frightening.

"What's this?" Harry also moved over to see what was in the pool, "Stop talking nonsense, how could a book be in danger?"

"You'll be surprised to say it!" Ron looked at the diary in horror. "My dad told me that there are some books confiscated by the Ministry of Magic, and one of them will burn your eyes out. Anyone who has read "" The man who wrote the book The Wizard's Sonnets, could only speak in doggerel all his life. An old wizard in Bath had a book that you could never put down! You put your face on wherever you went. Buried in books, had to learn to do everything with one hand, and..."

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

"No, you don't understand!" Ron shouted in a sharp voice, seeing the other three people looking at him in surprise, he hurriedly lowered his voice, "Believe me, Ivan, this thing is dangerous, we Just don't touch it."

"It's good to be careful, but we won't know what's inside until we read it first, won't we?" Ivan picked up the diary.

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

He tried his best to calm down and flipped through the faded black cover. On the first page, there was a name written in blurred ink: Tom Riddle.

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

"Tom Riddle won the school's special contribution award 50 years ago." Ivan whispered.

"I remembered, I read it in "Hogwarts Memorabilia", but it didn't say why he won that award." Hermione said.

"It could be anything, maybe he caught thirty owls, or rescued a teacher from the giant squid's giant claws," Ron whispered. "I don't see why we don't throw this thing away. , it looks dirty."

"Fifty years ago was the last time the secret room was opened, maybe this diary has something to do with the secret room." Aiwen carefully studied the diary in his hand.

"Really, show me!" Harry hurriedly took the diary over and flipped through it, and said with a disappointed face, "There's not a single word written in it."

He turned the diary to the back cover and saw printed on it the name of a newsagent in Vauxhall Road, London.

"Riddle must be a Muggle," he said thoughtfully, "that's why he bought the diary in Vauxhall Road."

"Okay, this thing isn't of much use to us anyway." Ron said hastily, "Let me see, let's throw it here."

"No, I think what Ivan said makes sense." Hermione squinted her eyes, which made her look a lot like Professor McGonagall, "Think about it, since Riddle was 50 years ago, he must be Not at Hogwarts, who brought the diary to the school, and why threw it away?"

"We know from Malfoy that the man who opened the Chamber of Secrets last time was expelled 50 years ago, and this Tom Riddle just happened to be awarded a special contribution to the school at that time. So, could Riddle be because The prize for capturing Slytherin's heir? His diary will probably tell us everything: where the Chamber of Secrets is, how it was opened, what kind of animals were kept inside. The man who made these attacks this time , you don’t want this diary lying around, do you?”

"Brilliant reasoning," said Ron, wrinkling his nose. "Only one flaw. He didn't write anything in his diary."

"Maybe it's invisible ink!" Hermione took out the magic skills from the schoolbag she put aside, she tapped the diary three times with her wand, and said, "Hurry up!"

Undeterred by no response, Hermione reached into her schoolbag again and pulled out something that looked like a bright red eraser.

"It's a revealing eraser. I got it in Diagon Alley." She rubbed vigorously on the first page of the date "January [-]," but nothing appeared.

"You won't find anything in it."

Ron said, "This is Riddle who got a diary for Christmas and wasn't happy to spend time writing in it."

"But..." Hermione said unwillingly.

"I have a strange sense of familiarity with this Riddle. He seems to be a friend I have forgotten for a long time, but this must be absurd. I definitely did not have any friends before I came to Hogwarts, not to mention that this Riddle is still a Fifty years ago," Harry continued.

"That's just an illusion of yours," Ron continued, "just leave it here like this, think about it, we're in an empty girls' bathroom when everyone else is celebrating Christmas Staring at a tattered diary with nothing written in it."

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

"Okay, okay, since you all think so, I have an idea." Ron said in a low voice, "Ivan, give it to me to deal with, I will mail it to my father, he will deal with it Experts in this field."

"No, Ron!" Ivan shook his head and put the diary in his schoolbag, "I think it's better to keep it with me, I saw a developing potion in a book recently, maybe You can let it reveal its hidden secrets."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but under the shadow of the dim candlelight in the bathroom, Ivan found that Ron's face seemed to be paler.

Chapter 47 The first confrontation

After confirming that with his current strength, he could not destroy the diary, Ivan decided to try to communicate with Tom Riddle.

Anyway, no matter what he says, just don't believe it yourself.

That night, Ivan lay alone under the blanket, took out a quill and wrote in his diary, "Hello, my name is Ivan Mason."

The black ink shone brilliantly on the paper for a second, then, as if sucked into it, disappeared without a trace.

Then, some words that Ivan had never written suddenly leaked from the paper, using his ink, "Hello, Ivan Mason, my name is Tom Riddle, how did you find my diary?"

Seeing the other party responding to him, Ivan's heart beat violently because of his excitement.

The words on the diary disappeared quickly, but only after he began to write hurriedly.

"You seem to have offended someone. They threw the diary into the toilet, and I picked it up there." Ivan wrote scribbled.

"Fortunately, I have recorded my past in a more permanent way than ink. I always knew that there would always be some people who would not like this diary to be read. This diary contains some terrible pasts, some covered up pasts, some What happened at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Oh, so you are also a student at Hogwarts?"

"Yes, during my Hogwarts years, the Chamber of Secrets was…"

Before Riddle finished speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by Ivan, who wrote in his diary, "Great, then you will definitely be able to help me with my homework."

"Classwork?!" Tom Riddle seemed to be stunned, and it took a long time before he replied.

"Yeah, I've been trying to get a senior to help me, but the guys in Gryffindor House seem to be more interested in things like Quidditch, broomsticks, and breaking school rules, which sucks! You know, Professor Binns, a boring history of magic teacher, assigned a four-foot-long composition on "The Encyclopedia of Wizards in Medieval Europe", which I am still a foot short of. Besides, Professor Snape of Potions The arrangement of "Fourteen Methods of Making Common Antidote Potions" requires a minimum of three feet; there are also transformation classes and spell classes..."

Ai Wen's handwriting was fast and scribbled, like a freshman who didn't adapt to the study life at Hogwarts, and finally found someone who could help him with his homework problems.

"These assignments are very difficult, and it is impossible for me to complete them. Tom, you will help me, won't you?"

"I'm sorry, Evan, but I think homework should be done by myself. If you want, I can tell you some other things, such as the secret room! When I was in fifth grade, the secret room was opened and the monsters inside attacked Killed a few students, and finally killed one. In the end, I caught the person who opened the secret room, and he was expelled. The principal, Professor Dippet..."

"Yeah, then you're amazing!" Ai Wen quickly wrote, "But I'm going to stay up late to do my homework, and the Christmas holiday is coming to an end. If I can't finish these, I don't think I can use the monsters in the secret room to make a move. I will probably be killed by the professors directly. It was a pleasure chatting with you, goodbye!"

With a snap, the diary was mercilessly closed.

Ivan let out a breath and fell back on the bed.Today is just a preliminary contact with Riddle, there is no need for in-depth communication.

When dealing with Voldemort, one must be careful, and be careful not to be led by the nose by the other party. Aiwen must take the initiative of the conversation into his own hands.

Anyway, the diary is here with him, so there is no need to worry about the attacks continuing to happen. Before he has enough strength to defeat the basilisk, there is plenty of time to communicate with the other party.

A few days later, students began to return to school one after another.

The news that Justin Fenley was attacked and lying in the ward like a dead man spread throughout Hogwarts as if he had grown wings, and the joyful atmosphere created just after Christmas disappeared without a trace.

The school became depressed and panicked, and all teachers and students in the school were on high alert, suspicious all day long.

As long as there is any sign of trouble, it can scare them enough.

Although Harry was not spotted at the scene of the third attack, this did not prevent others from suspecting him.Especially in the face of everyone's inquiries, Harry couldn't even explain where he went after leaving the auditorium early on the day of the Christmas banquet, which was very suspicious.

More and more people are used to gathering together to discuss in whispers. Hufflepuff's Ernie said to everyone, "Since Justin accidentally told Potter that he was a natural Muggle, I I always expected this to happen!"

What's worse is that most people believe what he said, and almost no one reads the article Ivan wrote in "Hogwarts Wizardry" to defend Harry.

Because everyone thought he and Hermione were Harry's accomplices.

Peeves didn't do much good in this either, he kept popping up in crowded corridors and singing, "Oh Potter, you bastard! Look what you've done, you're killing students Yes, I think it's funny!"

Moreover, he also matched with fixed dance moves.

With the help of Ernie and Peeves, now except for Colin, Luna and the Weasley family, almost no one dares to approach Ivan, Harry, and Hermione.By the way, there is one exception, and that is Malfoy.

He seemed to guess that Ivan and Harry beat him up on Christmas Day, so now he is always leading Goyle and Crabbe around them viciously, coming up to provoke them from time to time, like a cat looking for an attack The hyena of chance.

In this case, it was considered best not to go it alone.

They spend almost all their time in the library except for classes.

Hermione looked through the old documents from 50 years ago, trying to find the person who opened the secret room.The only clue is that the man was expelled from the school and is still in Azkaban to this day.

As for Harry and Ron, they decided they wanted to know more about Tom Riddle, and they ended up in the school trophy room, finding a trophy for a special service award, an old good character medal and a copy of the old Boys' Council On the list of chairmen, Riddle's name was found on it.
