Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 26 Ginny’s Wordless Diary

As the weather gradually warmed up, Harry began his hard Quidditch training again.Winters wrote letters to his family every day, reporting how well he was doing.

When Winters was out of class, he ran into Ginny. She was walking over in a panic, seemingly holding a dark brown notebook in her hand. When Winters greeted her, she only responded vaguely.

"When did she become like this?" Winters asked Ron during his lunch break.

Ron was also confused: "I don't know, but Slaer told me that it has been a while. I asked her, and she just kept saying that she was fine."

Winters: "I just saw her holding a notebook with a dark brown cover and she was in a panic. I don't know what happened to her."

"That notebook is her diary... My sister is obsessed with Harry," Ron said awkwardly.

"It couldn't have been seen, right?" Winters' first thought was that Ginny had revealed her secret.

"It's possible, but this diary... have we bought it?" Ron seemed to be asking himself.

Hermione: "Just ask Ginny where that diary came from. You are her brother."

Ron: "But every time I ask her, she thinks I want to read her diary."

Winters: "I thought of a way... let Harry ask"

Ron shook his head repeatedly: No, no, no, no, then my sister won't be able to see anyone.

Hermione: "Look, Ginny is back... Go and comfort her... See what's wrong with her."

Ron came back after a while, "She said she threw the diary into the bathroom on the second floor of the west building."

"Sure enough, the secret was revealed," Winters said with a smile.

"It's true...she pays more attention to Harry than I do." Ron smiled bitterly.

"Anyway, the problem is solved. I'm going to take a nap. I have classes in the afternoon" Winters yawned.

Since many Muggle-born students did not come to Potions class in the afternoon, Snape kept an especially close eye on them.Harry was deducted 20 points by Snape for not paying attention.

Herbology was much more comfortable. Delk was called to the podium by Professor Sprout to demonstrate how to fertilize those magic plants, and he made a fool of himself.But Professor Sprout gave Slytherin 10 points for Delk's brave attempt.

After dinner, he went to the training room. This time he had to complete the fusion of the two spells "Purgatory Return" and "Storm Thunder". Harry and Ron had to copy Hermione's notes, and then they were A scolding.

Winters ran into Jelena on her way to the training room, wanting to go to the library.

Winters asked curiously, "Don't you want to answer questions about ancient documents anymore?"

Elena: “But I don’t want to watch”

Winters: That's okay too. . .But don't be impatient.

Elena said angrily: If you obey my orders, I won't be impatient.

At least half of the people in the library were missing, and the only sound that could be heard was the scraping of pens and paper.Winters decided to throw away those ancient documents and start simple.

After a while, Elena suddenly asked: "Does Aurora have a twin sister named Lydia?"

Winters: "Yeah...why do you ask?"

Elena: "She is definitely the smartest person of her age I have ever met. She can deduce so many clues based on such pieces of information."

Winters: "She really enjoys math. Summarizing fragments of information is not too difficult for her."

Elena: "What about you and Aurora? What do you think about mathematics?"

Winters: "What Aurora and I like is the sense of accomplishment of overcoming a difficult problem... If we like it... I can't say, but we do like that sense of accomplishment... Why did you ask about mathematics?"

Elena said dissatisfied: You should take a look at what books I am holding.

Only then did Winters see that what Elena was holding was not a magic book, but a mathematics book. The page Elena turned to seemed to be talking about the accumulation of infinitely small units. . .Something familiar.

Winters: "Why did you start reading math? I have plenty of time during the summer vacation."

Elena smiled bitterly: Is there any difference?Anyway, I was now explicitly told not to use magic.

Winters asked in surprise: "Is it serious again?"

Elena sighed softly: "No, but Dumbledore is afraid that my use of magic will reduce the effectiveness of the medicine."

Winters comforted Elena: "Dumbledore wanted to make sure nothing went wrong. If there was an accident, he wouldn't be able to see his comrades...Hermione, Elsa, Karai?"

Winters turned around and saw Hermione, Elsa, and Karai arriving.

"I hope I didn't disturb you...um...secret party?" Elsa said with a smile.

"No way, I'm glad you guys came... It's so quiet today." Winters suddenly felt less cold. He didn't know if it was a problem with the environment.

"Where are Harry and Ron?" Elena asked

"The two of them went to catch up on their homework... Where's Aurora?" Hermione said as she took out her notebook.

"She is Muggle-born. I'm afraid something might happen to her. After all, ghosts have been attacked," Winters said simply.

"But there's Dumbledore here," Hermione said in surprise.

"Creatures that even attack ghosts...According to my limited knowledge, only some powerful black magic has this ability...It's always right to be careful," Winters said.

"But her class..." Hermione asked worriedly

"The books Dumbledore recommended to me are stacked one meter high...Aurora is also reading those books. And those books have Dumbledore's annotations." Winters rubbed his dry eyes.

"Let's not worry about Aurora, let's worry about us," Elsa said and began to write about her silent spell experience, while Karai was flipping through the "Guide to Making Simple Alchemical Items".

Perhaps it was due to the too quiet atmosphere, but Winters always looked at his surroundings from time to time.Fortunately, nothing happened until Mrs. Pince started chasing people away.

As Winters took Elena to the door of the Slytherin common room, he met Les and Mark. They were very worried that the monster with powerful dark magic would attack Elena.

"She is pure blood."

Rice: "That's a monster. Winters, a monster that attacks even ghosts. We can't take any chances."

When Winters returned to the dormitory, he heard Ron saying: "Harry used the Expelliarmus spell to take my sister's diary back from Malfoy."

"I think it's better not to open it. After all, it's her privacy," Hermione said when Winters came in.

Ron seemed to be thinking about something, "That's it... Then... give it back to her tomorrow?"

Winters asked in confusion, "Ron, didn't Ginny just throw her diary into the bathroom? Why did it get into Malfoy's hands again?"

Hermione said in surprise: "Maybe it's not a diary? And... Ginny actually taught herself the waterproofing charm."

Ron was stunned for a moment, "She won't...wait a minute..." He carefully opened the diary and found that there was not a word in it.

"Is there something wrong with Ginny... Is it possible for a cleaning spell to do this?" Winters stared at this somewhat weird diary.

Hermione shook her head slightly: "If the entire diary is filled with words, it will definitely leave traces."

Winters: "That's weird. This diary is like new."

When everyone was thinking, Harry said in shock: "It's almost 11 o'clock, and there are still classes tomorrow."

Winters lay on the bed and yawned until he fell asleep.

Ron asked Ginny the next day and found out that Ginny had used a cleaning spell to clean up her writing page by page.

But when Ron said he wanted to return the diary to Ginny, Ginny firmly stated that she didn't want the diary.As for the reason, Ginny refused to say anything and looked very panicked.No matter how much Ron promised that he hadn't seen a word of it, he still couldn't change Ginny's attitude.

When Winters returned to the Gryffindor common room that evening, he found Harry studying the diary.

"Why did you start studying this diary?"

"I don't know why, but the name Tom Riddle is familiar to me." Harry frowned.

"Familiar? Hmm..." Winters felt that something was wrong with Harry.

"Yes, familiar. Do you think something is wrong with me?" Harry looked at Winters.

"Okay... I do think there's something wrong with you... Have you found anything out of this diary?"

"No, I just found that I am somewhat familiar with Tom Riddle.

"Then get some rest...did you forget that the first period tomorrow is Potions class?" Winters reminded Harry.

"That's right... it's Snape again..." Harry said depressedly.

A week later, Harry told Winters a strange situation. This diary could talk to people. Winters looked at Harry for a while before confirming that Harry was not crazy. Ron, Hermione and others also testified that this diary Really able to have a conversation with people.

"As long as you write, it will respond to you." Ron was a little excited.

"Let me give it a try." Winters was also very curious.Winters wrote in his diary: How much do you know about Slytherin's monsters.After a while, there was no response from the diary.Winters looked at them suspiciously.

"We swore to Merlin that he would respond" George and Fred said in unison.

"I think the transformation spell above has expired," Winters said, trying to resolve the embarrassment.

After a moment of silence, Ron suddenly shouted: "What Winters said is not unreasonable. A few months ago, I was punished by Snape to clean the trophy room for fighting with Malfoy. I saw Tom Riddle's name." He was a student at Hogwarts 50 years ago. He was a student who received the Special Contribution Award 50 years ago."

"It seems that you are unlucky to a certain extent." Hermione smiled helplessly.

"I'm used to it" Winters stretched.Time passed day by day, and besides Quidditch and classes, Harry studied this diary every day.But Hermione discovered something strange about this diary.

Almost 3 weeks later, on a weekend.When Winters came to the library, he found Elsa, Elena, Karai, Slyer, and Hermione sitting at a table, seeming to be discussing something. Slyer saw Winters' When the time came, he immediately called him over seriously and said that Hermione had discovered something weird.

"What's wrong, so serious?" Winters felt inexplicably nervous.

"I discovered a pattern, and it's not a coincidence." Hermione was organizing her words.

"Coincidence?" Winters asked in surprise.

"The diary will stop responding once you return to the common room," Hermione said, and you could tell she was worried from her tone.

"What? Hermione, can you make it clear?" Winters said alertly.

"When you are not in the common room, this diary and that diary answer all questions. After you come back, this diary has no response." Hermione was a little worried about what happened.

"This is not a normal phenomenon." Karai was also a little worried.

"This diary must be hiding something... but why would he hide it from Winters?" Hermione asked.

"If I remember correctly, Winters' spell deflected a green light last year. I asked my father and he told me that he never wanted to see something like that in his life... It might think Winters Tes is a danger," Elsa recalled.

"Hermione, did Harry say anything else?" Elena asked.

Hermione began to become anxious: "Harry told me that the diary said that he was a memory... But why can the memory hide this behavior... This is not normal."

Elena said calmly: "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that Winters' wand is causing trouble. The second possibility is that there is a big problem with the diary itself."

"My wand?"

Elena: "The formula of your wand is extremely extreme. It is difficult to ensure that it will not interfere with the state of the diary."

"But that's impossible. If my wand would interfere with the diary, why wouldn't it interfere with yours?"

Elena: "So, we have to worry about the second possibility. There is a big problem with that diary. Or there is a big problem with the owner of this diary."

Winters: "Tom Riddle?"

Hermione: "Ron seemed to have said that Tom Riddle's name appeared in the prize room. The winner of the Special Contribution Award 50 years ago."

Karai: "So we need to know what happened 50 years ago. But don't believe that diary. There must be something wrong with that diary or the owner of the diary."

Elena said calmly: "No. We need to know what happened 50 years ago and we can't get around this diary. Just pay attention to distinguish the true from the false."

Slyer said thoughtfully: "Do any of you still remember the women's bathroom, the one on the second floor of the west building? I haven't used it in decades."

"It hasn't been used in 50 years. That's because there is a ghost named Myrtle. That ghost has a very bad temper," Hermione said angrily.

"Yes. I mean to ask the ghost directly. Think about it, Tom Riddle received the Special Contribution Award 50 years ago, and the restroom was deactivated 50 years ago. And the ghost is the mark of the wizard during his lifetime. Maybe we can ask What?" Slaer said excitedly.

"Why didn't I think of that? Slyer, you should go to Ravenclaw," Hermione said happily.

Elena shook her head: "There are many reasons for the ghost's death. Although there are amazing coincidences between the two. You may not be able to tell anything. My suggestion is to wait. Although the diary conceals something, there must be something. It's been a bad day. And I'm worried about what Lydia said about "something outside Hogwarts getting in."

"What's out there..." Winters said thoughtfully.

Karai was a little scared: "Yes, things from the outside. According to my limited knowledge, among the entire first-year students, no one except Ginny has such a diary."

Winters asked in surprise: "Which diary do you mean is the source of the series of attacks?"

Hermione: "It's incredible. But here's the problem, Ginny has one more diary than other students. Then the attack happened. Coincidence is not ruled out, but... it's so weird."

Winters thought for a while: "There are many anomalies. I agree with Elena's waiting, but Hermione, I hope you can help me with something."

Hermione said simply: "You tell me what it is."

Winters said thoughtfully, "You should remember the Mirror of Erised."

Hermione was stunned for a moment, "Of course...you mean...to keep an eye on Harry?"

Winters: "Yes, there are so many abnormal things about this diary. And all the questions are answered... It's hard not to remind me of the Mirror of Erised. At that time, Harry completely ignored the life in front of him." He was almost destroyed by that magic mirror.”

Hermione stood up immediately: "I will..."

Elsa stopped Hermione: "No. All you have to do is keep an eye on Harry and don't let him get too involved. The secret of this diary will be exposed one day."

Slyer: "But I suggest taking the initiative. Start with the women's bathroom first, otherwise you may be led astray by this diary."

Kalai: "I agree with Slyer's suggestion. If it is feasible, we will start action tomorrow"

Winters stood up and said, "What time will we meet?"

Elena: "I suggest that on the weekend, I will call my brothers."

Winters immediately said: "Then we will meet at the library at 3 pm next Saturday. But Elena... don't go...

Elsa: "Yes, Irina. It's too dangerous."

Kalai also agreed with this: "None of us can bear the responsibility for your accident."

Hermione "Yes, Elena. Originally, there was hope for your illness... just in case..."

Winters: "Hermione, don't go either. Tell Ron, George, and Fred about my worries. Tell them to be careful. But don't say it was me who said it."

"You can say it today" Hermione looked at Winters in confusion.

Winters said a little cunningly: "That diary wants to avoid me. So why not follow its wishes? If you don't follow it, how can it reveal its secrets?"

In order to be sure, Winters began to focus on the magic fusion experiment.The two magic spells he merged last year were strengthened by the powerful black magic of "Purgatory Return". At the same time, he also began to gradually try to fuse Purgatory Return and Storm Thunder. Although the progress was slow, Elena's His brother Les told Winters that it was good luck that the two powerful spells didn't backfire when they were fused.

And one night when Winters returned to the dormitory, Harry told him an astonishing secret. It was Hagrid who released the monster that caused him to be expelled. The diary told him.

"Hagrid? Are you kidding me? Does Hagrid speak Parseltongue?" Winters glared at Harry.

"We don't know if Hagrid can speak snake talk, so we need to ask. Whether it's true or not, we need to ask, maybe we can find some clues. But I'm sure Hagrid must know something," Harry said firmly. said.

Ron: "The problem is how do we open our mouths... Should we just ask when we meet: Hey, Hagrid, how did you get fired? Because you released a furry monster?"

"Well... we can ask indirectly, for example asking Hagrid what he thinks of those attacks," Harry said.

Winters: "That's a solution, but you have to remember to take the invisibility cloak." He wrote a letter to Aurora at night, including all the recent progress.

At noon the next day, he received a letter from Aurora: "Lydia asked you to pay close attention to that diary. Only Ginny owns that diary... There must be something wrong with it."

Time passed quickly, and the agreed time arrived in a blink of an eye. Six people arrived at the library on time, but everyone looked nervous.

"You don't look like Slytherin, you look like Gryffindor." Winters couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the few people from Slytherin House in front of him.

"Slytherins have their own courage. Like Gryffindors, they will only become brainless fools," Elsa said arrogantly.

"And... Dumbledore gave us 300 points last year." Apparently Carle hadn't forgotten the scene where Slytherin added 300 points last year.

"Okay, you guys... Winters, tell me about your arrangements." Elsa was a little excited.

"Except for Elena, Les, and Hermione, that's all. Please tell me about your arrangements," Slyer said.

Winters: "I don't have any plans, just one request. When I say you run, you must run. So I need to leave a few people to guard the door."

"Kain and I are guarding the door," Link said.

Winters: "Okay, the others and I will go explore. But the sooner we do it, the better."

"Just ask the ghost," Kale said simply.

Winters: "Then it's settled, try to end it within 30 minutes." After Winters and his party arrived on the second floor of the west building, they began this frightening investigation operation.

"Where's the ghost?" Elsa asked.

Karai: "She must be hiding... Why is it so cold..."

"She's behind you!" Slyer yelled.

"You living beings, are you going to throw things at me again?" Myrtle roared.

Winters was startled by Myrtle's voice. "No, no, no, let's ask you something." Winters said carefully.

"Ask me... something?" Myrtle's almost transparent body seemed to have a white mist.

"Yes" Winters thought about what to say.

"Then you ask." Myrtle was a little happy.

"You...um...what happened to you...I mean you are not alive...how did it become like this?" Winters was paying attention to his surroundings while speaking. the sound of.

"You ask this... I had a quarrel with my classmate at that time, and I was so angry that I cried, so I hid here. Then I suddenly heard a boy's voice. I couldn't understand what the boy said at all. Yes There was a very unpleasant sound, and I rushed out angrily, and then...I died..."

Winters: "Then when you died...did you see anything?"

"All I remember is a pair of big yellow eyes... and when I saw those eyes... I died." Myrtle seemed happy that someone asked her the cause of her death.

Slyer: "This indicates that it is at least a magical creature that is a close relative of snakes."

Elsa: "You heard it just now, a big yellow eye...how big is a snake-like magical creature?"

"Well... Myrtle, do you remember where you were hiding?" Winters decided to ask.

"There, did you see the sink? The cubicle opposite the sink is where I was hiding."

Winters carefully walked to the sink opposite the stall Myrtle pointed to.As he walked over, he felt something was different about the sink. He felt the pulse of magic.

"This sink... Winters, did you find something?" Karai was a little scared.

"There's magic on this sink...it feels different than other places," Winters said.

Elsa immediately said "Look what's up there again"

"It seems that we..." Karai was interrupted by a voice before he could finish his words.

"Kill... kill them all..." A hoarse voice came from the crack in the wall, "Clean... for the purity of the blood." The voice got closer and closer.

"Run! I'll come to the rear, don't look into that thing's eyes!" Winters shouted with a pale face.

"We didn't find anything," said Link and Kane.

"Go quickly, go quickly, that monster is getting closer, don't look into its eyes." Winters shouted.

They ran all the way, trying to leave this voice behind.

"I smell traitor. . . . Blood. . . . I thirst for blood."

The voice seemed to be only one floor away from them, and Winters tightened his grip on his wand, ready to give it a try.

"it's time to..."

"Purgatory Returns"!Winters immediately pointed his wand back and shouted at the top of his lungs.With his peripheral vision, he saw a pale golden warrior rushing out from the tip of his wand, and the black magic flame without any temperature rushed directly behind them.

Then there was a crack and a gust of searing wind blew them away.The chaos was also mixed with the painful howling of some kind of animal, but everyone had their eyes closed and did not dare to move.

"Wind and Thunder Purgatory"!Winters closed his eyes and pointed his wand back almost desperately.As soon as he finished speaking, there was another painful howl and scorching wind, and he could feel the strong electric current filling his surroundings.It seemed like countless bolts of lightning were falling around him.Then there was an eerie silence.

"Purgatory comes again!" Winters used a silent spell this time.He could feel a magical flame surrounding him.But there was no sound.

Then he carefully opened his eyes.Then he was stunned by what he saw.A large hole was torn in the ceiling, and a water pipe about 1.5 meters in diameter was cracked.

The water pipes inside were still emitting light black smoke, and there was black liquid everywhere on the ground. There were also scale-like things scattered around, and there were a few teeth-like things not far away.Because no matter what these things turned out to be, they were extremely charred and black smoke was emitting from them.

"You can open your eyes," Winters said weakly, soaked with sweat, and he felt dizzy.

"What is that?" Karai asked tremblingly.His face was covered with scratches and looked gray.Everyone else is like him.

"Snake... some kind of huge snake... Oh my god... it's Professor McGonagall" Elsa gasped. "

I think you guys have a lot to say." She looked at them with a pale face. Just when Winters was about to explain, Mag said again, "Wait a minute, I need to give Deng a few pieces of those burnt black things. Bullido”

Such a loud noise cannot be silent.When they followed Professor McGonagall to the principal's office, they found it full of confused students.When they arrived at the principal's office anxiously, Dumbledore was wearing a blue-green robe and chatting with the portraits.

"I knew it was you" Dumbledore said with a smile. "But...Slytherin and Gryffindor will each be deducted 100 points," he changed the topic.

"This is the remnant of the incident just now." Professor McGonagall used magic to pick up the two charred and smoking things.After Dumbledore pointed his wand at the two wreckage objects for a while, the black smoke disappeared.His focused gaze fell on the two pieces of debris from his bright blue eyes.After a while Dumbledore spoke.

"The erosion of black magic is very serious... I can only think that it may be a kind of snake, and it is a very huge snake."

"Professor... can that be restored?" Karai asked.

"It's a pity... child... there is no way to restore this level of erosion." Dumbledore shook his head.

"Could it be some kind of bird snake, such as a bird snake twisted by black magic?" Kane asked.

"The bird snake cannot withstand such strong black magic erosion. Even if it is a bird snake twisted by black magic, it is still a bird snake. This level of black magic erosion, even a bird snake twisted by black magic will still be affected. He died on the spot," Dumbledore said, shaking his head slightly.

"But professor... can you try to restore these things... After all, it's only been about an hour," Winters pleaded. He glanced at the time, and it was only 3:45 in the afternoon.

"Winters... I think so too... If you use another wand, I can still find a solution... The problem is that wand of yours... No matter what magic is in its hand, it will be completely out of shape. "Dumbledore smiled bitterly and touched his wand.

"But Professor... I have a... question," Winters said hesitantly.

"You ask." Dumbledore was still looking at the two remains.

"I don't know about bird snakes...but can the distortion of black magic be to the extent that bird snakes can kill people through their eyes?"

"No...it's unlikely." Dumbledore thought for a while and dismissed this possibility.

"That means it's not a bird or snake," Link said.

"I suggest that your exploration come to an end. After all, this castle cannot withstand the torment." Dumbledore raised his head and looked at them with a smile.

"Except for Winters, everyone else can go back." Slaer glanced at Winters worriedly before walking out.

"It seems that you are very good at using dark magic." Dumbledore motioned for Winters to sit down.

"Professor, I have never..."

"Isn't that good? The reason why black magic is called black magic is because it distorts and corrodes people's minds. So far, you are doing very well."

Winters: "I just don't want my adoptive parents to..."

"Protect those you love, and those who love you... I hope you can always stick to this belief. Using black magic for the people you love and the people who love you is not a particularly serious problem. You The only problem is... you should learn to control the power that releases the spell."

"Can this be controlled?" Winters was very surprised.

"Of course I can. I have been trying to control the power of the wand since I was your age. If your wand hadn't been so obedient to you, it would have unleashed all the magic power of those spells according to your wishes. That monster. The second floor is probably completely destroyed now."

"That monster will..."

Dumbledore looked at the two charred remains and said: "I think it will die... but it may take a few months."

Winters asked hopefully, "But there won't be any more attacks, right?"

"I can't say for sure... Maybe there will be another attack sooner. After all, the descendants of Slytherin don't seem to dare to meet people. So they will use this monster more frequently... Winters, it happened now. So many abnormal things... I want to ask you a few questions." Dumbledore said, casting his eyes on Winters.

"A few questions?" Winters' heart was pounding.

Dumbledore said gently: "If you don't want to answer, you don't have to say anything."

"Then... you ask." Winters took a deep breath. He was not sure what Dumbledore wanted to ask.

Dumbledore: "Has there been anything unusual with your wand lately?"

"No, sir. It's still the same, all black." Winters was a little curious, and Dumbledore asked why.

"I heard that Harry found a diary?" Dumbledore seemed to have been thinking.

Winters: "Yes sir, this diary is very weird... It or its owner seems to be hiding something, at least from me."

Dumbledore: "How did Harry read this diary?"

Winters tried to sum up: "Harry was very curious about this diary. But he didn't forget about the life in front of him like the Mirror of Erised."

Dumbledore seemed relieved: "That's good"

Winters suddenly thought of a question: "But Professor, I have a question

"Ask, boy," said Dumbledore, smiling.

"Why would Harry feel familiar with a student from decades ago?" Winters suddenly remembered that Harry felt inexplicably familiar with a student from 50 years ago. . .Is this normal?

But Dumbledore didn't answer him immediately. He just paused and asked, "Does he feel anything else?"

"No, but he's always been confused that he can speak Parseltongue." Winters was a little curious why Dumbledore didn't answer his question just now.

"You go back first. If anything happens to Harry, come to me immediately," Dumbledore said simply.After Winters came out of the principal's office, he found Slyer, Kane, Link, Karai, and Elsa waiting for him.

"I'm fine. Dumbledore just asked me a few questions." Winters responded to their concerned looks.

"As long as you're not fired," Karai wiped the sweat from his head.

"What question did Dumbledore ask you... Well... If you want to keep it a secret, then don't tell it," Slyer couldn't help but ask.

"What's the secret of this? I just asked about how my wand has reacted recently, and also asked about Harry's recent situation. I answered them truthfully," Winters said simply.

"Then there is only one question left...the relationship between the diary and the snake-like creature, or the relationship between the owner of the diary and the snake-like creature," Kalai concluded.

"We're just waiting for Harry and the others now," Winters said, walking towards the auditorium. He could already hear his stomach growling.When he arrived at the Great Hall, he discovered that Harry, Ron, and Hermione had already arrived.

"How is it?" Winters asked quietly.

"Hagrid said to follow the spiders. He said that as long as you follow the spiders, you will find the answer." Hermione was a little shaky as she tried hard to lower her voice.

"The question is where the spider goes." Winters felt very unreliable.

"If I read it correctly... it's the Forbidden Forest..." Harry's voice was trembling.Ron looked at them sadly.

"I heard that you almost destroyed the second floor of the west building today...what happened?" Hermione changed the subject.

"It's a big snake...or a close relative of a snake...and that snake can kill people with its eyes." Winters was still scared when he thought about it.This matter is beyond their capabilities.

"Then shall we go to the Forbidden Forest?" Ron asked expectantly.

"I feel like we need to take a trip... Hagrid wants us to take a trip," Harry said thoughtfully.

"That's no joke. . . .Let’s not talk about the issue of expulsion. . .Have you forgotten last year? . .Think about what you encountered in the Forbidden Forest." Winters looked at Harry.

"But the problem now is that Hagrid's suspicion has not been ruled out," Harry said stubbornly.

Winters saw that Harry was stubborn and didn't want to say anything anymore. In order to maintain their friendship, he had to stop there.He could only change the topic to Quidditch, while Hermione looked at Harry with a worried look.

At night, when Winters lay on the pillow yawning profusely, he remembered a few very critical questions: Where did this diary come from?And what Kalai said: What is the relationship between the owner of this diary and that giant snake relative.And what role did the heir of Slytherin play?

A huge mystery still lies ahead.
