The Christmas holidays passed quickly, and to be exact, Holly and Erinka, who were drowning in a sea of books, had no chance to enjoy the Christmas holidays at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When all the students returned to school from the Christmas break, not much had changed since before the break. One night, two boys in the trio of Saviors once again ignore the curfew and wander around the schoolyard... Filch's angry shouts echoed through the empty hallway, "...... Enough work for me!Mopping the floor all night, as if I hadn't had enough to do!No, that's the last straw, I'm going to find Dumbledore......"

There was a thud, and a door in the distance was slammed shut. Harry and Ron poked their heads out and saw that this was the same corridor where Mrs. Norris had been attacked, and a lot of water was overflowing all over the hallway, and it still seemed to be overflowing from the weeping Myrtle's toilet, and without Filch's muttering, the voice of the weeping Myrtle could be heard from not far away.

The curious duo pulled their robes over their ankles, tiptoed over the stagnant water, and broke into the women's restroom as usual... After the two of them turned off all the faucets, Harry found an old journal on the ground, the cover of which was also a little faded, and when it was soaked in water, the whole book turned black.

Noticing anything different, Harry took the journal into his arms and dragged Ron back to the Gryffindor tower. Back in the dorm room, the trio gathered around to study the diary, and when they turned the first page, they could barely make out one name from the stained ink—Riddle.

"Stop," Ron cautiously approached, looking over Harry's shoulder, "I know the name...... Fifty years ago, Riddle was honored for his special contribution to the school. ”

"How do you know?" said Harry, surprised.

"Because in confinement, Filch made me rub his coat of arms more than fifty times. Ron said resentfully, "It's the one that made me snot all over badges." ”

"By the way, Harry, didn't the two Ravenclaw girls say at Christmas that when the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago, there was a student who received the school's Special Contribution Award? "Ron, you heard that night, right?"

"Huh... It looks like this... Forehead... I was a little sleepy, so I went to sleep first. Ron answered Hermione's question perfunctorily and turned back to the dorm. Weasley really didn't want to remember what happened that night, Malfoy's sarcasm and condescending tone to Weasley in the Slychlin common room on Christmas night upset Ron, and of course, what made him even more upset was that the two Ravenclaw girls deliberately stalled that night to make the most of the Polyjuice Potion's transformation time and then show off his abilities in front of Hermione, proving that he wasn't as incompetent as he appeared on the platform of the Dueling Club. Of course, Harry and Hermione, who were battling it all in the common room and in the journal, didn't know about it. The two of them were discussing the diary enthusiastically.

Continuing to scroll down, the trio could not find any useful traces.

"He didn't write it. Harry said disappointedly.

"Oh, but it must have some hidden magic. Hermione took the journal and looked closer, muttering to herself. "If there is, then it must be well hidden. ”

"I wish I knew why someone tried to throw it. Harry said, "I wonder what kind of contribution Riddle has made to Hogwarts in order to be rewarded." ”

Harry said and glanced at Hermione, realizing that they seemed to be thinking the same thing. Hermione excitedly pulled out her wand from her bag and said excitedly, "Maybe it's invisible ink!"

She slapped the journal three times and muttered, "Apalsam!" Nothing happened, and for a long time, Hermione didn't get any answers from the journal.

Just as Harry and Ron left Myrtle's bathroom with their journals, two figures flashed around the corner - Holly and Erinka, "I was hoping they would find something." ”

"And what about this Weasley kid?" asked Erinka, gesturing to the red-haired girl hidden in the shadows.

"Who knows, let's keep it for the time being, it's so tender that you can't use it as a servant. ”

"Dolly!" Holly snapped his fingers, summoning his own elf.

"What do you have the master's orders?" Dolly, dressed in tatters, immediately appeared in front of the two.

"You take this little girl down first, watch her, you can leave it wherever you want, I want to communicate with her this weekend. ”

"Okay, master. ”

"Erinka, let's go, it's time for us to meet Salazar's pet, I didn't expect it to live so long. ”

"Hey, Holly. The basilisk itself is a very long-lived creature, not to mention that Basilisk is Salazar's pet, can he be the same as a normal basilisk? But at this time, I think we should go back to the dormitory, otherwise the old bee will be too busy. ”

"Well, let's wait to see when the three Gryffindors will discover the secrets of the diary. As soon as the words were finished, the footsteps of the night watchmen were heard in the distance, and the two girls instantly disappeared into the darkness, and a few seconds later, they appeared in the common room of Ravenclaw.

Instead of returning to the dormitory, Holly and Erinka went to the two single couches by the fireplace and threw themselves into it as best they could, trying to use the warmth of the fire to dispel the cold. On the rest of the couch, Lisa was still sitting there, seemingly waiting for the two of them.

"Where have you two gone? Sister Penelope has been looking for you for a long time. Lisa said to the two.

"I just came back from the library by the stairs, by the way, did I say anything?" Irinka took Lisa's words.

"The senior sister didn't say anything, but the senior sister looked very bad. ”

"Oh, really?" asked Holly, "well, then let's go to Senpai ourselves." ”

"No need, Holly, Erinka. I'm not feeling well tonight, so you two go talk to Percy for me. Oh, by the way, Lisa, thank you. Penelope came out of the dorm room, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Well, let's go, Erinka. Glancing at the mechanical clock on the wall, Holly turned and walked out the door, saying as she went, "Good night, good night Lisa, Senpai." ”
