Chapter 47: The First Encounter
After determining that with his current strength, he could not destroy the diary, Evan decided to try to communicate with Tom Riddle.
Anyway, no matter what he says, don't believe it.
That night, Evan was alone under the covers, took out a quill and wrote in his diary, "Hello, my name is Evan Mason. ”
The black ink shone brightly on the paper for a second, and then it seemed to be sucked into the paper and disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.
Then, suddenly some words seeped out of the paper that Evan had never written, using his ink, "Hello, Evan Mason, my name is Tom Riddle, how did you find my diary?"
Seeing the other party respond to him, Aivan's heart beat hard because of excitement.
The words in the journal quickly vanished, but only after he began to write hastily.
"You seem to have offended someone, they threw the diary into the toilet, and I picked it up there. Evan scribbled.
"Thankfully, I keep track of my past in a way that lasts longer than ink, and I've always known that there will always be people who don't want this diary to be read. The diary contains some horrific stories, some things that have been covered up, some things that happened at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ”
"Oh, so you're a Hogwarts student too?"
"Yes, when I was at Hogwarts during my years, the Chamber of Secrets was covered"
Before Riddle could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Aven, who wrote in his diary, "Great, then you will be able to help me with my classwork." ”
"Classwork?!" Tom Riddle seemed stunned before replying after a long time.
"yes, I've always wanted a senior to help me, but the students in Gryffindor House seem to be more interested in things like Quidditch, broomsticks, and breaking school rules, which is terrible! In addition to this, Professor Snape's "Fourteen Ways to Make Common Antidotes" in Potions class, which requires a minimum of three feet, as well as a Transfiguration class and a Charms class.
Ai's handwriting was fast and sloppy, like a freshman who was not used to studying at Hogwarts and had finally found someone who could help him with his classwork.
"These tasks are very difficult, and it is impossible for me to complete them. Tom, you're going to help me, aren't you?"
"I'm sorry, Aven, but I guess I should do my homework myself. If you want, I can tell you something else, like the Chamber of Secrets! When I was in fifth grade, the Chamber of Secrets was opened, and the monsters inside attacked several students and killed one of them. In the end I caught the man who opened the secret room, and he was expelled, the headmaster, Professor Dippert"
"yes, you're amazing!" Evan wrote quickly, "but I'm going to stay up late to do my homework, and the Christmas holidays are coming to an end, and if I can't do that, I don't think I'll be killed by the professors without the monsters in the secret room." Nice to chat with you, goodbye!"
With a snap, the diary was mercilessly closed.
Evan snorted and fell backwards on the bed. Today is just a preliminary contact with Riddle, and there is no need to do in-depth communication.
When dealing with Voldemort, you must be careful, careful, you can't be led by the other party, and Evan has to take the initiative of the conversation into his own hands.
Anyway, the diary is here with him, so he doesn't have to worry about the attack going on, and before he has enough strength to defeat the basilisk, he has time to communicate with the other party.
A few days later, students began to return to school.
The news of Justin Finchrie's attack, lying like a dead man in his hospital room, spread throughout Hogwarts like wings, and the little joy that had just been created on Christmas disappeared without a trace.
The school became depressed and panicked, and all the teachers and students in the school were vigilant, and they were suspicious all day long.
The slightest hint of wind and grass can scare them enough.
Although Harry was not found at the scene of the third attack, that didn't stop others from suspecting him. Especially in the face of everyone's inquiries, Harry couldn't even explain where he had gone after leaving the auditorium early on the day of the Christmas party, which was very suspicious.
More and more people got used to getting together and whispering about it, and Ernie of Hufflepuff said, "Ever since Justin accidentally slipped out of Potter that he was a natural Muggle, I've been expecting this to happen!"
To make matters worse, the vast majority of people believed what he said, and almost no one read Evan's article defending Harry in Hogwarts Wizardry and Wizardry.
Because, everyone thinks that he and Hermione are Harry's accomplices.
Peeves didn't play a good role in this, as he always popped up in the crowded hallways and shouted, "Oh, Potter, you nasty! Look at the good things you've done, you've killed the students, and you're funny!"
Moreover, he also has a fixed dance move.
With Ernie and Peeves fueling them, almost no one dares to approach Aven, Harry, and Hermione except for Colin, Luna, and Weasleys. By the way, there is one other person who is excepted, and that is Malfoy.
He seemed to guess that it was Evan and Harry who had beaten him up on Christmas Day, so he was now viciously leading Goyle and Crabbe around them, coming up from time to time to provoke, like a hyena looking for an opportunity to attack.
In this case, it is believed that it is better not to act alone.
They spend almost all of their time in the library except for classes.
There, Hermione was looking through the old documents from fifty years ago, trying to find out who had opened the secret room. The only clue is that the man was expelled from school and is still being held in Azkaban.
As for Harry and Ron, they decided to learn more about Tom Riddle, and eventually they found a trophy for Special Contributions, an old Merit Medal, and a list of former boys' student council presidents in the school's prize room, all of which found Riddle's name.
"You know, he sounds a lot like Percy, prefect, boys' student council president, and maybe the number one in his schoolwork!" Ron wrinkled his nose in disgust.
"Listening to the tone of your voice, it seems like this is a bad thing. Hermione said in a slightly hurt voice.
"Yes, I never thought he would be that kind of person. Ron replied in a deceitful tone, and then he turned his head to look at Evan nervously, "How's your progress there, what did you find in the diary?"
"No!" Evan shook his head, he thought it was best not to talk to anyone about Riddle.
"Look at what I'm saying, it's just an ordinary diary. ”
"In fact, this diary is not ordinary at all. I can be sure it's fireproof, waterproof, spellproof, and I can barely find anything to destroy it. ”
"That's good, Riddle must be trying to protect his diary. Ron's expression looked unnatural.
