"Riddle," he scribbled in his journal, "something strange happened to Hogwarts today, the Caretaker's cat was petrified by something. Left a message from the murderer next to him, saying that the secret room was opened? Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets? ”

Usually Tom's replies are quick and accurate, but this time, he seems to have hesitated for a long time.

[Chamber of Secrets, yes.] I've heard of it, and there are many things that have been said about the Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts. I can't figure out which is the truth...... But one thing is certain, Longbottom. 】

Riddle pointed out a few dots on the paper to show his struggle.

[By any guess, the Chamber of Secrets was an extremely dangerous place - because in my day, when the Chamber was opened, monsters attacked several students, and even lost their lives, and a good friend of mine disappeared as a result. 】

"Missing?" Brandi paused for a moment.

[Yes, missing.] It was shortly after the attack, and he said he had found some clues to the chamber and wanted to stop it from happening. I tried to stop him, but he set off one night – he never returned. All the teachers and students of the school were mobilized to look for him, but no one could find him...... Later, for some unknown reason, the secret room was never opened again. 】

For some reason, this text gives Brandi a strange sense of déjà vu. A long time ago, someone seemed to have told him a story that was very similar to its ending. However, why is the content so far behind?

"Do you know where he went?"

[It took me three years to find the location of the secret room, and unfortunately, just as I was about to succeed. I graduated...... I can't get into Hogwarts anymore and put an end to it once and for all. But now is the best time, Longbottom, and you're going to take my place and put an end to this. I'm willing to hand over your most powerful magic to face that cruel monster in the secret room. Defeat it and you'll become a Hogwarts hero! 】

Riddle's writing was demagogic, and even Brandy, who had never cared much about fame, was a little short of breath for a while. He lifted the curtain and found that there was silence around him, so he retracted his head and wrote in his journal with some excitement.

"I'd love to, Riddle, so where the hell is the Chamber of Secrets?"

The words slowly faded away, replaced by a very detailed notebook that looked like the clues that Riddle had worked hard to find little by little over the years. But as Brandi slowly saw the spell that opened the secret room, his hair suddenly stood on end, and a terrible chill froze his internal organs.

Why is it ...... 'Do Not Disturb the Dragon'?

He trembled and picked up his pen and wrote in the blank space.

Riddle ...... Your missing friend can't be Lightmanson. ”

Under Brandi's nervous gaze, the dense handwriting and the words he had written quickly vanished. The diary suddenly clattered without wind, and turned to the middle page, and lines of scribbled handwriting appeared like a waterfall, covering the original diary.

Unlike Brandi's original dark blue ink, the text is red.

Bloody, furious and fierce red.

[How do you know Wright's name!] Have you ever been there! Answer me! 】

Brandi was so frightened by the change in front of him that he closed the diary that was still brushing with blood letters, he gasped for a long time on the bed, only to find that his back had already been soaked in cold sweat, his heart was pounding, and the whole world was spinning.

All along, Riddle had been looking in the wrong direction, and he had tried his best to find the wrong so-called secret room for his friend. There are no monsters in the fifth seal, and Wright's disappearance has nothing to do with the monster attack, these are two completely different things.

But at the same time, it sent a terrible message to Brandi......

The Treasury and the Chamber of Secrets were opened at almost the same time! It must not be a simple coincidence that two secret rooms that no one knew about were opened at the same time, and they should have some kind of connection—but if so, according to the information they had obtained before, the person who opened the treasury was Voldemort!

After forty years, the secret room that has been opened again, does it mean that he has returned?

Be vigilant...... Be vigilant......

Dumbledore's warning repeated over and over again in his mind, and Brandi thought wildly, slowly closing his eyes.

……………………

After that, for several days on end, the students did not talk about anything else, but spent their days talking about the attack on Lady Loris. Filch's nervousness was a constant reminder that he was constantly patrolling the place where Lady Loris had been killed, as if the assailant would be stupid enough to commit a crime in the same place. The handwriting on the walls seemed to be read by magic, and even if Filch scrubbed them desperately, they would still shine, which made Filch feel extremely irritable, and he began to go crazy to find fault in the castle, and tried every possible way to find excuses to keep the students in confinement - considering that he now had a deep hatred for himself, Brandi almost didn't dare to wander through the corridor alone.

But Filch wasn't alone in keeping Brandi reluctant to go out......

Within a few days of their conversation being overheard by an unknown person that night, rumors spread throughout the second year that Brandi was behind it. They chatted happily as if they had seen Brandi brutally murder Lady Loris by the wall.

It's a pain for Brandy, and now everyone's attitude towards him is getting weird. Some people find it cool, like the Weasley brothers and a fair number of Gryffindors, who are always punished by Filch, and they are particularly relieved by Brandy's simple and crude revenge; But some people may not be, when he greeted Justin, who had been taking a herbal medicine class together, the other party screamed and fled in a panic.

"Ignore them, I'm sure this has nothing to do with you." After Charms class, while Brandy was looking for a corner for lunch, Newitt came to him in a panic and shouted comforting him, startling the classmates next to him. This is a rare occurrence for Neville, who usually has a hard time speaking loudly to others.

"You need to get some rest, Brandi, look at your dark circles, it's been a long time since you've slept well."

"That's right...... It's okay Neville. I don't really care much about that. Brandi frowned and replied casually. Ever since he learned of the secret room and the secret connection between the vault and the treasury from Riddle, he had kept the journal in the deepest part of the box and never dared to communicate with Riddle again.

The dense blood letters made him palpitate until now, and even sometimes he dreamed that a person whose face he couldn't see clearly was yelling at him, asking him to tell everything he knew.

"Speaking of which, why haven't you been practicing spells for the last few days... Are you worried about being attacked? Uh, thank you, Luna. ”

He took the baked potatoes that Luna handed over, thanked them, and began to peel them - in order to show her support for Brandi, Luna had frequently dragged Self to sit on the long Gryffindor table since the day she was discharged from the hospital, and now everyone was used to the two Ravenclaw heels sitting next to Brandi. Of course, this also leads to a smaller social circle between the two of them......

"Don't be intimidated by this incident, Neville, this might just be a simple prank. You should have the courage to face it, you added a crucial point to our academy last year, remember? ”

Neville nodded vigorously, as if he was holding back the fear in his heart, his lips trembling. "Well, the professors are going to catch him, aren't they? The madman who caused the accident. ”

It wasn't until Neville left tremblingly that Brandi lowered his voice again and continued with his question. "Sharf? You just said what sound you heard then, like Harry? ”

This is one of the things that makes Brandi particularly puzzled, why would Sorph, like him, be a complete Muggle wizard, and hear movements that no one else can hear, like Harry...... Could it be that Sorph and Harry have fallen under some strange magic?

"I don't know – I just felt as if someone was talking to me, in a very small voice, like whispering next to my ear." Salph stopped putting the food in her bag and hesitated. "I don't understand either, I thought it was some kind of magic...... Later, and then I flickered, and you were standing next to Lady Loris. ”

Until the end, Brandi couldn't get any useful information out of her words.

In the afternoon, a few minutes before class, Brandi was in the hallway to meet Hermione, who had been missing for a long time, and to her surprise, she looked extremely annoyed.

"All the books on Hogwarts history have been borrowed!" She came to Brandi's side, "I'm so upset, I should have brought back my copy of Hogwarts, a school history." If only I had learned the Traceless Stretch Spell sooner......"

"School history?" Brandi asked curiously, "What are you looking for that?" ”

"Of course, for the same reason that everyone else picked them up, I think we need to know about the legends of the Chamber of Secrets. It's probably not mentioned in that book, but I wish I had missed it......"

This kind of scholarly speech left Brandi speechless.

"But it doesn't matter, we have other channels to find out about that story." Hermione gave him a look, then flicked the bag over, the sudden weight of the horrific weight almost knocking Brandi on his head. "Help me get a seat, I'm going to the toilet~"

"Hey! Hermione, the next lesson is the history of magic! What are you doing with so many Lockharts! Brandi grinned and hugged her bag, revealing that it was full of those big, thick hardcover books.

"If you want to take care of it, get in on here! I'm going to sit in the first row! Hermione, in the distance, casually answered and disappeared around the corner of the hallway.

"Hey, I'm afraid I'm not dizzy by Lockhart......" Brandi felt the heavy weight, sighed sullenly, and staggered into the classroom.
