Chapter 631 Blacklist
Albert was actually not surprised at all when Riddle's diary was stolen. Because this incident was what he expected, Ginny waited until no one was in Harry's dormitory before entering the dormitory and stealing the diary. Albert just gave her a gentle push from behind to make her determined to do so.
It is not the time for Albert to come into contact with Riddle's diary. With his ability and caution, it is impossible not to discover something suspicious about the diary after coming into contact with it.
Letting the diary return to the hands of Ginny Weasley is conducive to the "return" of the plot, or he cannot directly hand over Riddle's diary to Dumbledore, otherwise how to complete the next panel task ?
Those are all experiences and rewards!
The only problem is the hidden danger and uncertainty. No one knows whether Tom Riddle, who has been played by Albert, well, or should I say Lockhart, will become angry and do something irrational. things.
The danger will most likely fall on Lockhart.
Albert didn't care about Lockhart's life or death. He just didn't want the situation to get out of control. He made so many preparations and just wanted to control the situation as much as possible in his own hands. That's why he did such a thing, rather than foolishly thinking that The inertia of history will bring the plot back to its original course.
Although most of the danger falls on Lockhart, Albert is not stupid enough to think that he is safe.
After Riddle's diary was returned to Ginny's hands, Albert became extremely cautious. He rarely acted alone anymore, and the scope of his activities was narrowed to three places: the library, the hall and the common room. Moreover, he no longer passed by the girls' bathroom on the second floor, trying to keep himself away from all possible dangers.
There are only the last few months left. He predicts that Riddle will take action in the next Quidditch match at the latest. Albert does not want to fall inexplicably before the finish line. Although this possibility is not high, Albert I'm afraid of death, but I don't want to die either, so it's necessary to endure it first, and even deal with it as the top priority in life.
About the changes in Albert, as his girlfriend, Isobel noticed something was wrong at the first moment.
“That person is planning to attack again?” After Isobel took the detection ball, he understood the reason. It was obvious that Albert had predicted something again.
"Well, it's not very safe recently, so don't run around." Albert warned softly, "But I'm sure that guy won't be able to jump around for long."
“You should also pay attention to your own safety.” Isobel felt that Albert was hiding something from her, but she didn’t ask. She estimated that the matter was related to the secret room.
Albert did some risky things without telling her, which made Isobel a little angry. She stopped going to the Room of Requirement and planned to "dry" him for a few months. She had ready excuses.
Albert didn’t put much thought into being intimate with his girlfriend. After all, his life was more important. After this matter was resolved, both parties would have plenty of time.
However, neither Ginny nor Tom Riddle knew that Albert was on guard against them, and they did not pay attention to Albert.
After Ginny stole Riddle's diary back from Harry, the first thing she did was to get back in touch with Tom Riddle and make some insidious inquiries about whether Tom had revealed his secrets to Harry.
Ginny knew that Harry was looking for the heir of Slytherin. She didn't want anyone to discover her secret, let alone be expelled from school.
Tom Riddle didn't know how annoyed he was when he discovered that the person writing in the diary was not Harry Potter as he expected, but Ginny Weasley.
Although he was very angry inside, Tom had to suppress his anger, try his best to comfort Ginny with words, and assured Ginny that he had not told Harry the secret.
After all, he still needs to regain control of Ginny, who obviously no longer trusts him as much as before.
Tom, I can’t remember how I lost my diary. 】
Ginny hesitated for a long time before she mustered up the courage to write this sentence in her diary.
Tom Riddle was also hesitant to tell Ginny about Lockhart.
For example, tell Dumbledore that it was Ginny Weasley who opened the Chamber of Secrets and attacked the cats and Colin.
Tom will never allow himself to fall into Dumbledore's hands. If this happens, he will have no chance to stand up.
Sure enough, we should strike first and directly solve the existing hidden dangers.
Tom began to play the role of a kind and considerate big brother, listening to an eleven-year-old girl talk about her childish troubles, and he also had to be patient and write some words to reply to her, so as to comfort the anxious Ginny. .
Tom needs Ginny to open her soul to him so that he can gradually devour her, become stronger again, and try to control her again.
As for Lockhart who dares to disrespect him, he will naturally find an opportunity to kill him.
He, Voldemort, holds a grudge!
…
“What’s wrong with you recently?”
George ignored Lockhart who was bragging on the stage and Lee Jordan, who played the "werewolf" who was hit by the humanoid restoration spell, and asked about Albert's recent unusual behavior.
Albert lowered his voice and said: "I predict that some bad things are going to happen recently."
“What’s not good?” Shanna turned to look at Albert in the back seat. She was obviously not interested in the performance on stage either.
“Attack?”
Fred immediately guessed what Albert meant, "The heir of Slytherin plans to launch another attack?"
"I don't know. Anyway, you're right to be careful lately." In fact, Albert predicted this with a crystal ball, but it seemed that his level was not good enough or for other reasons. There was nothing on the crystal ball, so he could only find it now. Give them a reason to fool them.
At any rate, attacks will definitely happen again.
The murmurings on their part were noticed by Lockhart, and George was unfortunately called up to ask questions.
“Professor, can you show us the humanoid restoration spell?” George grabbed the spell on the book and asked Lockhart based on Albert’s teachings.
Many students have discovered that Lockhart never teaches them the spells in the textbooks. Every Defense Against the Dark Arts class is a storyteller stage play.
Many students maliciously speculated that Lockhart did not know the magic in the book. As for the things in the book, they were all made up by Lockhart.
"Professor, we also want to learn the humanoid restoration spell." Fred offered a good assist, "In this way, if we really encounter a real werewolf that day, we can use this spell to turn it into a human. Then you won’t be threatened by werewolves.”
"Yes, yes, what you said makes sense, but I can't take away your Transfiguration Professor's job, otherwise Professor McGonagall may come to trouble me." Lockhart is indeed a sophisticated and shameless person. He quickly made an excuse for himself, "Besides, I remember Mr. Anderson asked me about this problem. If you want to learn, you can go to him."
“I’m sorry, Professor, I didn’t learn the humanoid spell.” Albert said honestly.
"Well, you have heard that even Mr. Anderson has not grasped it, so don't be too ambitious." Lockhart was quite satisfied with the result. This was one of his few small victories.
If Lockhart knew that his name appeared on the Dark Lord's death list because of someone's dirty tricks, he would definitely not be in the good mood now. He would even resign and run away instead of continuing to brag about his lies in class. Deeds.
