The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

[Someone was attacked again, right? 】

Looking at the words that appeared in the diary, Harry was extremely nervous.

He hurriedly wrote:

'That's right!Right in the prize room!The victim was Slytherin's former Quidditch captain. He and John had just...'

Harry was only halfway through writing when all the words he had written disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a new string of text appeared.

【So do you believe me now? 】

Harry froze.

He held the quill and hesitated for a long time before writing:

'I'm not sure, John was always a good guy, he helped his classmates, and he had a particular distaste for pureblood supremacy.I just can't imagine that he could be the heir of Slytherin, the bad guy who wants to eliminate all students of Muggle descent. '

[If this is the case, then something is a little strange. 】

'You think so too? '

[Yes, the reason why I know that John Shafik is the heir of Slytherin is because I can sense the evil and unique smell of John Shafik when I am close to him.Logically speaking, such a person should not have the qualities you mentioned.So has he been somewhere recently or encountered something that would lead to this situation? 】

Seeing this, Harry felt his brain buzzing and subconsciously thought of a name.

'Malfoy! '

'John spent his summer holidays with the Malfoys! '

[That ancient pure-blood family Malfoy? 】

'That's right!They are pure blood supremacists!Not only that, they are Death Eaters! '

[What are Death Eaters? 】

'You don't even know about Death Eaters? '

As soon as Harry finished writing, he realized that the 'Riddle' he was facing existed more than 50 years ago, and it was quite normal for the other person not to know about Voldemort.

He then told Riddle about Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

[Then everything will make sense.John must have been controlled by the Malfoys using dark magic. 】

'And this magic? '

[Of course, it is the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses.The Unforgivable Curse also includes the Death Curse and the Cruciatus Curse. 】

Seeing this, Harry couldn't help but shudder.

He knew the Death Curse and the Cruciatus Curse.

Among them, the person who was hit by the death curse will die, and he is the only one who is still alive after being hit by the death curse.

As for the Cruciatus Curse.

That's a torture curse.

The person who has been cursed will feel piercing pain all over the body, and the heartbreaking pain will make the person who is cast by the spell miserable. If the spell is cast continuously, the person who is hit will go crazy with pain, or even die.

This is what John heard from Neville.

Neville's parents were victims of the Cruciatus Curse. They were tortured mad by Death Eaters.

He is still receiving treatment at St. Mungo's Hospital.

Harry quickly wrote:

'I'm going to tell Professor Dumbledore all this!Let him rescue John! '

【No!Never do that!You will kill your friend! 】

'why would you say so? '

It is often said that you will never see a Malfoy at a crime scene, even if the wand used to commit the crime is covered in their fingerprints. 】

[Since they dare to use the Imperius Curse on your friend, they must be fully prepared.I dare say that if you dare to reveal this news to anyone, they will immediately kill John Shafiq.It's simple, John Shafiq is now completely controlled by Malfoy. 】

Seeing this, Harry subconsciously didn't believe it.

'No matter how powerful the Malfoy family is, how could they monitor Dumbledore or even the entire Hogwarts? '

[As far as I know, the current patriarch of the Malfoy family is the school governor of Hogwarts. 】

Harry slowly opened his mouth.

He discovered that if this was the case, Malfoy might actually be able to do it!

After all, judging from Harry's knowledge of Muggle schools, the school directors are a group of very powerful guys!

And this also gave him a strong sense of powerlessness.

Can he really save John on his own?

Riddle seemed to sense his emotional fluctuations, and another string of words quickly appeared in the diary.

【Cheer up!Didn't you say John Shafiq was your friend?He can only rely on you to save him now! 】

Looking at the words in front of him, Harry's eyes became firm again.

Yes, John was still waiting for him.

John had helped him so many times before, and it was his turn to save John this time!

Harry took a deep breath and then wrote:

'what should I do?Please teach me! '

[Judging from your description so far, the Malfoy family did not use the full version of the Imperius Curse on John Shafik in order to prevent the secret from being revealed.This allowed John Shafiq to still retain part of his original consciousness and continue to live a normal life on weekdays.And this gives you an opportunity. 】

[As long as you can induce strong enough emotions in John Shafik, he will most likely be able to break through the control of the Imperius Curse and recover on his own. 】

'What exactly do you want to do? '

[It’s simple, he is a proud man, isn’t he? 】

[To deal with such a person, you just need to give him a good beating.In this way, he will feel extremely angry and humiliated, and this level of emotion is enough. 】

Harry scratched his head in embarrassment and wrote:

'But I'm no match for John. '

[It doesn’t matter, I will teach you some powerful spells and spell-casting skills. 】

[But this requires you to let go of all your psychological defenses against me and let your and my spirits connect with each other.Only then can I bring you into my memories and teach you magic therein. 】

Harry suddenly remembered a shield-shaped cup he had just seen in the prize display room. The inscription engraved on it stated that Tom Riddle had won the special contribution award to the school 50 years ago!

This is enough to prove that Riddle is also a very good wizard!

With his guidance, I might really be able to defeat John and free him from the shackles of the Imperius Curse!

Harry paused only for a moment, then immediately wrote two words.

'All right. '

The diary seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and the pages turned with a roar.

Harry also took a deep breath and tried to let go of his mental defenses.

The next moment, Harry's consciousness completely sank into the diary.

……

At the same time, Marcus Flint on the other side had been sent to the school hospital.

Since the nature of this incident was much more serious than the previous attack on Mrs. Norris, Dumbledore ordered that classes be suspended this morning and that all students return to the common rooms of their respective houses to rest.

The main professors were summoned to Lockhart's office, which was closest to the crime scene, to discuss the matter.

Looking at the departing figures of the professors and the frightened and nervous expressions of the students around him, John sighed deeply.

If something happened to Marcus Flint at this juncture, everyone would think of him.

What John couldn't figure out was why Riddle would do this?

The professors obviously wouldn't treat him as the heir of Slytherin just because of this incident.

So although this incident made John feel quite disgusted, it actually had little real impact on him.

If Riddle was really afraid of him eating him, wouldn't it be better to just send the basilisk to assassinate him?

Why bother pouring dirty water on him again?

John didn't understand Riddle's purpose.

He only knew that Riddle had thrown dirty water on him, so he couldn't make it easy for him.

With this in mind, John sneered and walked towards Lockhart's office.
