This chapter is a bonus point......

Hey? You say that the diary is not a big V? All right...... For the sake of V University now being stationed in the secret realm of the lake, it can't come out for the time being, so everyone will be fine, anyway, the appearance is the same. (Crowd: This is also something that can be done!) ）

Another: This chapter is also a spoiler of the past between V and Unicorn Opal, but it is precisely because of this that the diary-kun is doomed to tragedy, huh......

As for Dumbledore...... Ahem, I'm not interested in people of his character, please forgive me if there is an OOC.

Entourage (reversal): The truth of deviation.

、

Hogwarts Headmaster's Office

、

It turned out to be just as Opal and Draco had said at the beginning, and shortly after the two returned to the conference room, Slytherin's headmaster, Snape, hurried over to announce the early end of the masquerade.

As soon as Opal returned to his bedroom, he received a message from a house-elf from Dumbledore, inviting Opal to his office with the password "Milk Fudge".

Although he didn't know what Dumbledt was looking for her, considering the situation in the corridor at night, Opal felt that he would be asked a question, and he probably had a little bottom in his heart.

After greeting Mr. Gargoyle at the top of the staircase, Opal approached the headmaster's office behind the hidden staircase, where Dumbledore was waiting with a smile on his face.

The fire in the office was burning vigorously, and on the plane tree shelf in the corner behind the door, Fawkes, who had entered the last stage of failure before nirvana, was holding on to greet Opal, and it didn't seem to be in a particularly good state.

"Good evening, and I hope the bad things tonight haven't affected your mood for the holidays."

The first to speak was Dumbledore, who was sitting on the armchair in front of the stove, with two plates of desserts and two drinks on the low table in front of him, "Come and sit down, Your Highness the Princess." It's a little cold in the hallway today, isn't it? ”

[I haven't fully inherited the title yet, so you don't have to call me that, Headmaster.] ]

Scratching his cheek a little in embarrassment, Opal sat down across from him as Dumbledore greeted, [Come to me, what's the matter?] ]

"What do you think of what happened in the hallway tonight. It seems like you and Malfoy were there first when we arrived. ”

Smiling kindly, Dumbledore motioned Opal to fetch food on his own,

[I don't quite know the specifics, as Potter and Potter were already in the hallway when Draco and I got there.] But looking at them, they seem to be terrified. ]

Without any thought at all, Opal gave his own thoughts, [The one who attacked Lady Norris should be someone else, after all, the petrification spell can't be cast without a high level of black magic, and Potter's magic level ......]

It's not really that Opal looks down on Harry, it's a fact.

Although the petrification spell sounds very simple, a bad control will cause the subject to be completely petrified and cannot be recovered, but according to the way she looked at Lady Noris in the corridor at night, although she was hung there, there was no trace of the hair on her body breaking, so it can be judged that this petrification is only a superficial petrification, but the complete petrification of this expression requires more magic control - with Harry's magic level, it is more credible if it is completely petrified.

"Did you know Filch's cat was under the petrification spell?"

Dumbledore seemed stunned for a moment - even he had to check before he could be confirmed, and Opal was so far away that he couldn't even make contact?

[yes, that's easy to tell, right?] ]

Opal took a small bite of a piece of snack, swallowed it and said with a simple face, [Lady Noris obviously still has signs of life, but her whole body is stiff, and the only spell that can cause this effect and is easy to use is the petrification charm.] ]

“……”

Dumbledore looked at Opal, who seemed to have no idea what amazing words he had uttered, and finally could only attribute this kind of acumen beyond ordinary people to the effect of the "Son of Gaia", "The petrification charm should be the knowledge of dark arts that can only be accessed by the sixth grade and above, how do you know?" ”

[Professor Sprout has been nurturing mandrakes lately, which I heard her mention when I was helping.] ]

Opal paused slightly as he said this, [Speaking of which, the mature mandrake is the main ingredient in the potion that lifts the petrification spell, right?] It seems that Mrs. Noris is still quite lucky, as long as she stays up for a few more months and waits for the mandrake to ripen. ]

"Looks like you're doing a good job at Hogwarts. If I'm not mistaken, this recipe for the petrochemical decontamination is something that can only be accessed in the past grade, right? ”

[It's just my interest, and I still have a lot of shortcomings.] I've always felt like time was running out of time. ]

Regarding Dumbledore's praise, Opal could only humbly express his lack of strength, which could be regarded as temporarily ending the topic, waiting for Dumbledore to take the initiative to turn the topic on the right track.

"You're diligent enough, it's more important to pay attention to your body, otherwise Charon will come to the school to settle accounts with me."

Answering with a smile, Dumbledore also took the initiative to change the topic to the main topic according to Opal's meaning, "Opal, are you still used to living in Slytherin?" ”

[Habit?] ]

Tilting his head slightly, Opal looked puzzled, [Everyone is very friendly to me, what's not used to this?] ]

"Also, I heard that you're now the head of year in Slytherin, and you have a good relationship with the Malfoys."

[Well, Draco is nice and has always taken good care of me.] ]

Generously, after giving someone who was not present a good person card again, Opal seemed to remember something and frowned, [By the way, Headmaster, did Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Slytherin, really build a secret room?] And also against half-blood wizards? I heard Draco mention that in the evening, but he didn't say much about it. However, before this happened, I was attending a dance party in the conference room when I heard a very faint sound of snakes hissing, so I took Draco out with me, but I didn't expect this to happen. ]

This is what she guessed when she received Dumbledore's arraignment, and there was nothing to hide about it, so she was very happy to tell what she knew.

As if he didn't expect Opal to tell what he knew so easily, Dumbledore groaned slightly before looking at Opal, as if studying her expression: "The Chamber of Secrets is indeed a thing, and there have been corresponding victims. However, in order to avoid panic, we have to deny it. But then again, Opal, what do you think about half-blood wizards? ”

[Huh?] ]

Because he didn't expect Dumbledore to give a direct answer, and didn't continue to ask about the situation, Opal blinked a little blankly, and then reacted, [Half-blood, mixed-race, what's this?] Isn't it a good thing to introduce foreign bloodlines and optimize races on the premise of ensuring one's own ability? ]

“……”

Dumbledore didn't speak, or rather, he didn't know how to react—he didn't even think that Opal understood the problem in terms of the continuation of biological populations.

But after thinking about it, Deng Liduo was relieved.

After all, Opal's identity as the "Son of Gaia" is here, and wizards are still a part of the human race after all, and humans are just a part of the natural population after all, so it is not surprising that the "Son of Gaia" will have such an idea for the "Son of Gaia" who does not discriminate.

After figuring out this joint, Deng Liduo was dumbfounded: "It's that I'm thinking too much." In that case, I don't think you will sit idly by if something happens, Opal will not sit idly by. ”

[Something that has nothing to do with me, I'm not interested in getting involved.] At the moment, what I want to do most is to finish my studies peacefully and get some trophies and medals along the way. ]

Regarding Dumbledore's intentions, Opal also gave her position clearly, although she knew that with Dumbledore's cunning, even if she refused, she would not be able to escape, in that case, it would be better to explain the conditions as soon as possible, so that it would be convenient for the future.

"To be able to have a peaceful, enjoyable and even glorious learning career at a young age is a wish that everyone has."

Regarding Opal's remarks, Dumbledore, who took a breath from the juice cup, also made the point clear.

[If nothing else, I'll take my leave.] ]

After eating the last snack, Opal stood up and saluted Dumbledore, who nodded his head to indicate that the conversation was over.

========================I'm the dividing line ============== the switch scene

Hogwarts Slytherin Common Room Bedroom

、

It was nearly midnight when he returned to his room from Dumbledore's headmaster's office, but Opal was not sleepy at all.

After lying on his bed and staring at the top of the bed for a long time, Opal finally made up his mind and took the old diary out of the drawer again and opened it.

This time, however, to Opar's surprise, she didn't have time to write something on it when a line appeared in her diary: "Long time no see." ”

"Ah, long time no see...... Are you awake already? ”

Opar was a little surprised by the initiative of the diary, but he still took the pen on the side and wrote on it, "Didn't you say last time that you were going to sleep for a while?" ”

About a week ago, after Opal finished dripping the bottle of added unicorn blood, a handwriting appeared in the diary saying that he had absorbed a bit more magic, so he probably needed to sleep for a while to digest it, but the specific time was not said. And Opal opened the notebook today in fact, it was a little tentative, but what she didn't expect was that the diary would be so face-saving and responded as soon as it was opened.

"I only came to my senses yesterday."

The handwriting on the diary appeared and quickly faded, "What time is that?" Has Halloween already passed? ”

"It's Halloween, but something really troublesome happened."

"For example? Have you been mischievoked? ”

"It's not a matter of being pranked...... But I think the results are probably worse. ”

As he wrote this, Opal paused slightly, "Speaking of which, do you know the Chamber of Secrets?" ”

"Secret room?"

After the word came to mind, the handwriting on the journal paused for a moment, "Well, I don't know what secret room you're referring to. You know, there are hundreds of secret rooms in Hogwarts. ”

"It's Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets. Someone opened it and left a message on the wall with a death notice. ”

Because he had received definite information from Dumbledore, and considering Dumbledore's time as principal, Opal tentatively asked the diary about related matters.

"The secret room that was opened...... Indeed, this was when I was at Hogwarts, and it was quite a sensation because someone died. ”

And the diary did not hesitate to give an affirmative answer, which significantly narrowed the scope of Opal's search.

"Are you a party?"

"Well, when I was in fifth grade, the Chamber of Secrets was opened, and the monsters inside came out and attacked several students, and eventually killed a schoolgirl. However, the person who opened the secret room at that time was caught by me and fired. ”

"Expulsion? If it's intentionally released, it should be considered murder, right?! ”

Opal, who didn't expect the departure to be so light, was a little stunned, "It's just...... Expel? ”

"It's just an expulsion, indeed. And the headmaster at the time felt it was a disgrace to Hogwarts, so he forbade me to tell the truth. They made up the lie that the girl had died in an accident, and awarded me a medal and warned me to keep my mouth shut – and thus the journal was born. ”

There was a slight pause when the handwriting surfaced, as if the diary was adjusting its mood, "Because I know that the monster has not been destroyed, but has been locked up again." When the Chamber of Secrets is opened again, there will definitely be new victims......"

"You're a Slytherin, aren't you?"

Opal frowned, but wrote it down anyway.

"I'm a Slytherin, but I'm just a human being."

The handwriting that seemed to be going to continue was interrupted instantly, and it was only after a moment that the handwriting reappeared, "Sorry, I'm a little excited." Speaking of which, judging by the power of magic, Opal is a pure-blood wizard, right? ”

"I don't know...... Although my father was a wizard, I grew up as an orphan. ”

Opal didn't lie about this, "But the family I'm in now seems to have a pretty good background." ”

"Also, it must have taken quite a bit of effort to establish yourself in Slytherin and become the head of the year, right?"

"No...... Because everybody is so nice to me. ”

Opar's half-truth, because she knew very well that the reason why she was more mixed up in Slytherin was because Draco also had Pansy and Blaise - although it had something to do with her own strength. However, it is also true that the Slytherin students I have come into contact with so far are relatively friendly.

"It seems that the atmosphere in Slytherin in Hogwarts is not bad now, and it was very difficult for half-blood wizards to get ahead in Slytherin like I did."

The handwriting that appeared on the diary seemed to be a bit of an exclamation.

"But you're doing a great job......"

Remembering the glittering golden appearance of the "Tom Marvolo Riddle" file in the Slytherin Student Cabinet in that row, Opal couldn't help but roll his eyes, "And I don't think you need to be presumptuous at all, as you can see from the fact that you can leave this diary, your magical skills are very high." After all, extracting memories and extracting consciousness is not something that everyone can do. ”

This is true - because not everyone has the courage to take advantage of their memories and consciousness, and a bad operation will definitely have unpredictable consequences.

"That's just what is allowed...... Anyway, because the schoolgirl who died at the time was a half-blood wizard, the matter was revealed. I'm going to keep this journal, but I don't want to be the same victim as me and the schoolgirl again. ”

Is it possible?

Wouldn't it be nice to just leave a written narrative just for the sake of that? Why do you have to split your consciousness and memory? You must know that there is still power to follow the memory and consciousness...... For a Slytherin, this is clearly inconsistent with his values.

Opal didn't write any more, just remained silent.

"I know what you're suspicious...... That's good...... I simply ......"

"If it's memory playback magic, forget it, this kind of magic that is directly linked to memory and consciousness is ineffective for me."

Opal's words in the journal interrupted the words in the journal in time, "Because of my talent, I am in a sense exempt from this magic. ”

Because the memory replay magic requires the caster's mental imprint to be higher than that of the caster, Opal is well aware that although she has not yet completed the inheritance of "Son of Gaia", she does not think that the mental power of the senior Hogwarts students will be higher than that of herself with the title bonus.

Of course, Opal is exempt from psychic magic, and there is only this type that needs to be examined, such as memory modification, which depends on the state of the individual's will at the time of the magic, and Opal can only be said to be quite resistant, and cannot be completely exempted. (Celestial: That's enough, this isn't a DND wizarding world, bastard!) ）

“……”

A series of dots popped up in the diary, and Opal hooked the corners of his lips indifferently and continued: "Who was the person who was expelled from school back then? Or is there a record in the archives? ”

"How can there be a record in the archives of this kind of stain, you will go in vain."

After a pause, another line appeared in the diary, "Forget it, in this case, I'll meet you." ”

"Huh?"

Opal was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "Can you already materialize?" It must be a lot of mana consumed like this, right? In fact...... You just have to tell me who it is. ”

Speaking of which, she was still quite curious about the appearance of "Tom Riddle", who had the same name as Riddle.

"The unicorn blood you gave me earlier contains enough blood to maintain my entity for a while, and I just want to come out to breathe, can you get out of the way a little."

"Okay."

Opal quickly retreated, and the diary turned quickly without wind, and after a flash of milky light, a figure gradually became clear in front of the table!! How come?!

Looking at the figure with short black hair and blue eyes that gradually became clearer, Opal's eyes widened in disbelief.

This person's appearance turned out to be ......

The figure seemed to move his body a little uncomfortably, and at the same time as he met Opal's gaze, a trace of astonishment flashed in his beautiful blue eyes.

"Opal?! [Riddle?!] ]”
