Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 581 Experiment Diary

   It has been a week since Colin Creevey was attacked.

  Finally, everyone is no longer forgetful, especially wizards born in Muggle families, they are very careful about matters related to their own lives, for fear that they will become the next Colin Creevey.

   Of course, there are always exceptions.

  Albert has been very busy recently, and is preparing to make his first contact with Tom Riddle's diary. Because of Quirrell's lessons learned, Albert did not dare to be arrogant enough to think that he could control everything.

   Quirrell completely underestimated Voldemort back then, and thought he could control the opponent, so he fell into that end.

  Albert did not dare to underestimate Voldemort, even though Tom in the diary was just a young wizard.

   After he was fully prepared, Albert took the box containing Tom Riddle out of the Room of Requirement to study.

  At this moment, Albert is preparing for the research. He will not let Riddle know his true face. God knows whether he can perceive the specific situation outside the diary.

   After all, at the end of the novel, Riddle escaped from the diary.

  Albert threw Lockhart's hair, which he collected earlier, into a small cup of compound potion as thick as syrup. When the hair touched the potion, it immediately hissed and bubbled.

   After a few seconds, the potion turned as deep golden as Lockhart's hair.

   "I really hope this thing tastes better." Albert muttered. Although he didn't have any expectations for this, he still drank all the compound medicine in the cup in one go.

  The taste of the compound medicine is really indescribable, a bit like overcooked cabbage, making Albert want to gag.

   "Damn it!"

   Albert coughed twice, and he could feel the effect of the compound medicine taking effect.

  【After the compound medicine entered the stomach, a terrible burning sensation quickly spread from the stomach to the whole body, reaching the fingers, toes and even the whole body.

  I can feel that my internal organs are churning. If I hadn't taken the compound medicine, I even wondered if I would suffer from some serious disease, and I might die suddenly on the spot at any time now.

  Suggestion: For people with serious diseases, it is best not to use compound medicines to avoid getting sick during the course of taking them. 】

  Albert's consciousness is quite tough. At least after taking the compound medicine, he can control the quill next to him to record his feelings after taking the compound medicine in the diary.

  Albert stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked up at himself in the mirror. Because of the effect of the medicine, he was panting heavily. His facial features wriggled and deformed like hot wax, looking extremely weird and permeating.

  【It was a terrible feeling, as if the whole body of skin was melting like hot wax. 】

  I watched helplessly as my hands began to grow bigger, my fingers became thicker, and my whole body swelled up due to the effect of the medicine.

   Fortunately, Albert put on a new robe in advance, so that the clothes were not torn due to the deformation of the compound medicine.

  The transformation only lasted a few seconds, it came suddenly and went quickly.

  Standing in front of the full-length mirror, the panting person was no longer Albert, but Lockhart who was dressed a bit sloppily.

   Everything stopped.

   "I really don't know how little Crouch has been taking compound medicine for more than half a year." Albert took a deep breath, looked at his current body, and was still a little unaccustomed to it.

   "Sure enough, the endurance of wizards is not normal." He muttered, after arranging his clothes a little, he began to check the records of taking the compound medicine just now, and wrote some personal experiences in it.

   After Albert finished writing, he went to the box where the diary was placed. It was a box made of dragon leather, which could well insulate magic.

There is also a wooden box inside the dragon leather box, which is made of a guardian tree. Albert has cast a strong protective magic on it, which can effectively isolate black magic. Even a secret detector cannot detect black magic inside. trace.

   As for whether these protections can effectively block the infiltration of Horcruxes, Albert actually doesn't know, but even with these protections, he would not want to carry Horcruxes with him.

  The third layer is the box made by Nicole Flamel. After Albert opened the box, he used the magic control glove to take out the diary from the metal box.

  Of course he would not directly touch the Horcrux with his hands. Even if he brought himself dragon leather gloves, Albert did not want to directly touch the Horcrux to avoid being affected by the Horcrux.

  Although doing so should prevent the Horcrux from controlling him, Albert still didn't want to take the risk.

  After putting Tom Riddle's diary on the table, Albert took out various styles of black magic detectors purchased by house elves.

  First of all, there is the looking glass, which is a black magic detector that looks like a glass spinning top. When Albert put it next to the diary, it didn't light up or spin, which meant that there were no suspicious people around.

  【The looking glass did not respond to the Horcrux. 】

   Feather pen write this sentence in the diary.

  【Sure enough, Tom Riddle’s Horcrux cannot be counted as a person, so the looking glass did not respond, which also verified why the Human Tracking Curse did not respond to Tom. 】

  Next, Albert took a slender gold rod detector and poked it at Tom's diary. The honesty detector produced a certain attraction without touching the diary, and the tip emitted a faint light.

  【The honesty detector responded, proving that the diary was indeed enchanted. 】

Then there is the secret detector, which is different from the honest detector used to detect hidden spells and hidden magic objects. The secret detector is an auxiliary tool used by the Ministry of Magic to detect black magic items. A buzzing beeping alarm will sound immediately.

  【The spy device responded, proving that the diary is indeed a black magic item. 】

  【Tom’s diary has been routinely tested, and it is currently unknown whether Tom Riddle in the diary can spy on the outside world. 】

  At the end of the novel, Riddle is strong enough to appear outside the diary, and can even use a magic wand like an entity. He doesn't know what the situation of Riddle in the diary is, but he has to guard against it.

   Next, he started dripping ink onto the diary, which shone brightly for a second, then disappeared as if sucked into the paper.

  Albert was in a hurry to write in the diary, but continued to drip water on that page.

   It’s just that this time it was ordinary water droplets, and the water droplets were not absorbed by the diary, but wet the diary instead?

  【Riddle's diary was actually wet with water, does that mean it can be ignited by flames? 】

  Albert began to try to control the glove to tear off a page from the diary, but failed. Even if he used the cutting spell at the end, the diary could not be harmed.

   Sure enough, as he remembered, the Horcrux was protected by strong magic, and it would not be destroyed at will.

  But... why, the diary gets wet with water?

   Is this unreasonable?

  【Can I soak the diary and tear off the pages of the diary?】

  After thinking about it, Albert first recorded this idea and prepared to test it another day.

  He now exposed a page of the diary alone, looking like a prisoner whose head was about to be chopped off.

   "The fire is burning."

  Albert raised his wand and tried to burn it on that page. The flame blazed up, but it went out quickly, without causing any damage to the diary.

   Next, I tried it with a normal flame, but it still didn't work.

  【The flame cannot cause damage to the Horcrux. (You can consider Fiendfire.)]

  After a simple test, there was still no sign of Tom Riddle showing up.

  【Perhaps, you can consider using the threat of "throwing the diary into the cesspit" to see if you can force him out. 】

  ” wrote in his experiment diary, but this line was quickly expunged, “Forget it, after all, we will try to conduct communication research on Tom, and it would be bad if it stinks. "

   "Hello, Tom."

   The quill wrote according to Albert's wishes.

   This line of text flickered on the paper and was sucked in without leaving any trace.

  However, there was no other reaction in the diary.

   "Hey! Are you wary of me?" Albert narrowed his eyes and said, "This is not possible."
