Chapter 630 The Missing Diary
After learning from Tom Riddle's diary that Hagrid might be related to the attack, Harry had already decided not to ask about Hagrid's Chamber of Secrets unless there was another attack.
Actually, he didn’t know how to ask Hagrid about this matter, so he simply pretended that he didn’t know anything.
Unlike Harry, Hermione still insists on searching for the truth. She finally found the opportunity to tell Albert the secret Harry discovered from Tom Riddle's diary.
In Hermione's eyes, the kind and handsome Albert is undoubtedly a very reliable senior, which even makes her have the illusion that if anyone can reveal the secret of the Chamber of Secrets, it must be Albert.
This may have something to do with Albert's handsome appearance. The most suitable boyfriend in the eyes of girls is no joke.
At this moment, Albert and Hermione were in the foyer, looking at the wizard card game going on inside. When no one was around, Hermione lowered her voice and asked, "Did you already know that Hagrid was the reason for fifty years?" Was he expelled from school for the previous incident?”
"Hagrid told you?" Albert said and then directly rejected this possibility, "Hagrid probably wouldn't tell you these things unless his brain was flooded."
"We learned this news from Tom Riddle's diary." Hermione said quietly, staring at Albert's face.
“Oh, Tom?”
Albert repeated the name softly, as if recalling something, with a slight smile on his lips, "My cat is also called Tom. I remember that you seem to like cats too. You can raise one by yourself. In the magical world Cats are generally very smart.”
Hermione agrees with Albert's words. Mr. Administrator's cat is very smart.
"But, can you not change the subject." Hermione looked into Albert's eyes. She felt that Albert didn't seem to want to talk about it.
"Speaking of which, the diary from fifty years ago can be preserved to this day. Do you know where that diary is stored now? I mean Tom Riddle's diary." Albert said his purpose: " Maybe I can find some useful clues from that diary."
"Tom Riddle's diary may not be what you think." Hermione met Albert's eyes, quickly dodged, and explained to Albert the magic of Tom Riddle's diary.
"According to you, that diary should be a very precious magic item!" Albert fumbled with it gently and expressed his analysis: "Honestly, it's hard for me to imagine that it was actually a school wizard. The effects of the created magic items can last as long as fifty years."
"From what you said, that diary seems to be very impressive?" Hermione was surprised. He didn't expect that Albert would give such a high evaluation.
"You don't know anything about making magic items. Normal magic items can only be stored for a few months before they return to their original state due to loss of magic." Albert analyzed his guess with Hermione bit by bit, "Also, Tom's diary The fact that the diary can automatically restore Harry shows that the diary is very intelligent. Well, you may not understand what intelligence means, but it means that the diary has its own consciousness, which is like having a portable friend. If it is forced To give you an example, it’s the Sorting Hat.”
"Tom Riddle seems to be a great wizard." Hermione couldn't help but admire the stranger (the Dark Lord) who had never been masked before.
“It’s really amazing,”
Albert was not shy about his words of praise, "There is also the kind of practice that can bring people into the memory of others. I have seen similar records in some documents."
Without waiting for Hermione to ask again, Albert gave the answer directly: Pensieve.
As far as I know, wizards can let themselves enter the memories of other people with the help of a "pensieve".
All right!
Albert wanted such technology.
"I can try to convince Harry to let you lend him Riddle's diary for study." Hermione felt that the diary would be far more useful in Albert's hands than in Harry's.
"That's great. After the wizard card game is over, we will go to Harry to borrow the diary." Albert smiled and made an agreement with Hermione.
Actually, Albert knew that Tom's diary had been snatched away by Miss Ginny not long ago.
“Harry must also want to find out the culprit of the attack as soon as possible.” Hermione followed Albert into the busy hall.
In the end, Truman won.
After the awards were given, everyone raised their glasses high to celebrate the successful conclusion of the wizard card competition.
Albert followed Hermione to find Harry and told him about Albert's plan to borrow Tom Riddle's diary.
At first, Harry was hesitant, but finally he agreed to give the thing to Albert for study. Harry also knew that Albert was better than him and might be able to find something useful in the diary.
After the brief celebration, Albert and Harry went back to the dormitory to get Riddle's notes. Harry, who had just opened the door and was about to enter the dormitory, couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise!
The dormitory was robbed, things were thrown everywhere, the suitcase was opened, clothes were randomly thrown on the floor, the drawer of the bedside table was opened, and the contents were scattered on the mattress.
When Ron entered the room, he saw the messy dormitory, turned his head and asked: "What's going on, Harry?"
Harry bent down to pick up the copy of "Walking with Trolls" that fell on the ground. He looked at the messy dormitory and opened his mouth. It took a long time to hold back a few words from his mouth: "I don't know, I just came back."
"Someone is looking for something, and that person definitely doesn't know where the thing he is looking for is placed, so he is rummaging around. I'm sure he is definitely a Gryffindor student!" Albert looked at the thief. The dormitory analyzed.
"How did you know it was a Gryffindor student who did it?" Ron couldn't help but ask.
"Ron, other students don't know our password and can't enter the Gryffindor common room." Hermione felt that Ron should use his brain and stop asking these pure questions all day long.
Albert replied knowingly, "Please clean up the dormitory first and see what is missing."
Harry nodded, started to pick up all his things, and threw them back into the boxes and drawers one by one. After finishing organizing the things, Harry had a strange look on his face, and said to Albert in a low voice, "Riddle The diary is missing."
"There is something wrong with this matter. The diary is very suspicious. Otherwise, why would the other party steal the diary?" Albert began to guide the thoughts and focus of several people.
“Who do you think would steal the diary?” Hermione asked.
“The original owner of that diary.” Albert said.
“Tom Riddle?” said Ron.
"Of course not, there should be someone else!" Albert shook his head and warned: "If you find that diary again, you'd better be wary of the person holding the diary, and bring the diary to me, or bring it to me. Leave it to Professor Dumbledore."
"You suspect there is something wrong with Riddle's diary." Hermione turned to look at Harry uneasily.
"He should be fine. If he had asked, he would have been sent to the school hospital long ago."
