Chapter 100: Voldemort and the Journal are distressed
The acquaintance of the basilisk and Nagini began a few months ago-
After Voldemort's failed attempt to steal the Philosopher's Stone, Dracula completely annihilated his soul in the sky above the Forbidden Forest, and then returned to the forbidden area where the Philosopher's Stone was kept, freeing the basilisk.
Dracula placed the basilisk in the forests of Albania, wanting him to help him find the Ravenclaw crown so that he could fulfill his promise to Helena.
In view of the powerful deterrent power of Dracula's repeated "torture" of the basilisk a thousand years ago, after the basilisk arrived in the Albanian forest, he moved extremely quickly to start the search for the crown, sparing every hollow tree.
He searched almost the entire forest, but found no trace of Ravenclaw's crown. Therefore, the most likely possibility is that the crown has been taken by Voldemort.
For the basilisk, the question now is whether to tell Dracula about the crown being taken by Voldemort.
The basilisk secretly made a comparison between Dracula and Voldemort in his mind-
One is a friend of the original owner, Salazar Slytherin, a thousand years ago, who is powerful and can always torture the basilisk inadvertently; The other is a descendant of Slytherin who doesn't know how many generations, and his strength seems to be okay, but it just overturned on a baby......
The so-called distant relatives are not as good as close friends, as a half-breed descendant of Slytherin separated by more than a thousand years, Voldemort can't say how much Slytherin blood there is in his body; However, Dracula has lived for more than a thousand years, and has always been the best friend of that Slytherin!
So the basilisk made up his mind to be on Count Dracula's side.
Of course, he won't admit that he was only submissive to the torture that Dracula had tortured a thousand years ago; Nor will he admit that Dracula uses the Dementor to probe his memories, and even if he wants to, he can't hide it......
Thinking of this, the basilisk felt relieved and began to wander around the forest, exploring the environment where he would settle down and live in the future.
In the forests of Albania, the basilisk wandered around and came across another viper of great size, named Nagini.
The two snakes hit it off at first sight, and they both found that the other party was the kind of smart snake that had enough intelligence to communicate, so they decisively mixed together.
When the scope of the conversation between the two became more in-depth, the basilisk found that this world was really quite small, and a wise snake that he casually encountered was the unlucky snake that had also dealt with Voldemort.
The basilisk, who had taken refuge in Dracula deep down, began to turn his head, feeling that he must not let the clever snake he had so hard to find go astray and throw himself into the camp of Voldemort, which had no future.
So he bitterly said all kinds of bad things about Voldemort to Nagini -
"Nagini, you don't know, I was originally a pretty decent snake!" He hissed righteously, "A thousand years ago, the great Salazar Slytherin left me at Hogwarts Castle in the hope that one day I could help Slytherin's descendants and protect the school of witchcraft and wizardry in danger!"
"But the glorious deeds I imagined to have won glory for the school and fought for Slytherin did not happen at all. You have no idea what happened to me!" ….
Nagini looked at the basilisk grandfather who was nearly a thousand years old in front of him, and listened curiously as he told stories about his past.
"My master guessed wrong, Hogwarts Castle, after recruiting Muggle-born young wizards, was not exposed as he thought, and was attacked by Muggles on a large scale." "So I didn't have a chance to do it for a long time, and I stayed in the dark dungeon and fell asleep."
"Because of the secrecy of the Vault, I usually rarely see a living person once in a hundred or two hundred years, and even if any Slytherin descendants found the Vault, they were terrified when they saw me, and they didn't think I could bring anything to them."
"Although the master is great, his descendants do not have the same courage as him. Almost none of them dared to release me, and even if they released me, they wanted to use the snake to control a powerful 5X-level magical animal like me, and then thought it was themselves
I can do evil in the wizarding world."
"Because of this, I went from a good snake with a great sense of justice to a monster in what people call a secret room. I've been living like this for a hundred or two years, and when I wake up, I've caught a few underground rats and bugs and barely had my stomach filled, and it's very miserable."
"It wasn't until hundreds of years later, when a Slytherin descendant named Corvinus Gaunt couldn't stand my state anymore, that he thought of using magic to transform the secret room I was in, giving me a slightly more physical environment."
Nagini listened carefully to the basilisk's story for a long time, and patted the basilisk with his tail to express his comfort.
"But you haven't said anything about the Dark Lord yet!" She hissed, "Why do you think he's an unreliable villain!"
The basilisk nodded at his large turquoise head, the red feathers on top of his head swaying slightly with a nod, "It all started sixty years ago—"
"The first time I met the Dark Lord, his name was Tom Riddle, and he was supposed to be fifteen or sixteen years old."
"At that time, I hadn't seen anyone for more than a hundred years, and looking at the pretty good looks and courteous manners of young Tom Riddle, I thought that there was finally a good heir among the descendants of Slytherin. But I was obviously wrong......
"Far from being a good student, Tom Riddle was a very deep and dark student even when he first started fifth grade. As soon as we met, he only exchanged a few words with me in a snake old voice, and then he began to eagerly plan his big plan."
"He didn't know why, he completely misunderstood what my great master meant, thinking that Slytherin looked down on young Muggle-born wizards and wanted to get these hemp wizards who were not worthy of Hogwarts out of school."
"Not only that, but Tom Riddle has a very violent temper, and he has used his snake to manipulate me to set off countless terrorist attacks at Hogwarts - if I hadn't secretly retracted my efforts, I would have looked at those little wizards through mirrors or water trails, and only turned them to stone, I am afraid that Hogwarts would have closed its doors a long time ago." ….
"But I often walk by the river, and I don't get my shoes wet. Then one time, when I had just come out of the secret room, without reacting, I met a chubby little witch and accidentally killed her...... So Hogwarts is really closing."
"And then?" Nagini hissed nervously, "Is that school really closed?"
"No, it's not closed." There was a look of contempt in the basilisk's big yellow eyes, "Tom Riddle doesn't deserve to be a Slytherin offspring, he has abandoned his pride as the heir to the Chamber of Secrets and blamed an innocent third-year student!"
"That big third-year student happened to have a disgusting magical creature like the Eight-Eyed Spider, so he was expelled from Hogwarts."
"If you're telling the truth...... The Dark Lord does seem despicable." Nagini hesitated for a moment and hissed quietly, "But he spent more than ten years in this forest before, and I often stayed with him, and I don't think he is such a person......
"Hmm...... He's very gentle, he's very talkative, and he tells a lot of interesting stories......" Nagini reflected on Voldemort's previous state, "said the Dark Lord...... He said that he had been plotted against by others, and that he had tried his best to keep a remnant of his soul to come to this forest."
"What is he talking about?" The basilisk scoffed, "Master Dracula told me that Voldemort clearly wanted to kill a baby who might be a threat to him in the future, but before he could do it, he overturned on the baby and was bounced back by his own life-seeking curse."
"I don't even want to admit that he has the blood of the great Slytherin in his veins!"
Nagini was puzzled by the basilisk's words, "This...... Roll over on a baby? Aren't you kidding, old man?"
"I'm not kidding," the basilisk hissed, "don't believe it, just some time ago, he returned to Hogwarts, want."
Steal a stone to restore strength."
"I'm almost disgusted with him, and he still has the face to come to me for help! If it weren't for the fact that we snakes couldn't resist the power of the snakes, I wouldn't have paid attention to him!"
"So he stole the rock?" Nagini asked curiously.
"No," the basilisk hissed with a hint of schadenfreude, "Voldemort certainly didn't expect to meet his ancestor's old friend in Hogwarts, which is not an ordinary generation!"
As if to see that Nagini was still a little disbelieving, the basilisk glanced at her and continued, "Nagini, if you still think that Voldemort is a good wizard who is gentle and understanding of snakes, then why don't we test it......
Later, there was a scene where the two snakes hid in the cave after Voldemort found him-
During his time in the forests of Albania, the basilisk took in many snake brothers, and his eyeliner spread all over the forest.
With the information provided by the younger brothers, the basilisk spotted Voldemort's traces in advance, and immediately took Nagini to hide in a cave that was difficult to be discovered. ….
Voldemort lost his patience after two laps in the forest, and with the fact that he had just subdued a large number of high-ranking Death Eaters, his mentality changed from his previous low-key state to a little drifting.
So he stopped pretending, he had a showdown, and he didn't bother to call Nagini in a gentle, empathetic tone anymore.
Voldemort directly used the harshest snake old voice, trying to control Nagini himself to crawl out of hiding to meet him, and then directly use her to turn her into a Horcrux!
But what Voldemort didn't expect was that the basilisk relied on her size advantage to imprison Nagini's snake body to prevent her from rushing out to find Voldemort and throw herself into the net.
Seeing that there was no snake to respond to his snake old words, Voldemort cursed secretly, guessing that Nagini had left the Albanian forest for a while, so the apparition moved away.
It wasn't until Voldemort left that Nagini's uncontrolled state returned to normal, barely regaining his senses, but his expression was still a little dazed.
"I'm right, Nagini." The basilisk hissed at Nagini, "But if you don't see him for a while, he'll yell at you in such a ferocious tone." Let me tell you, this Voldemort is not a good man!"
Nagini's snake head tapped lightly twice, and he looked at the basilisk beside him with a sigh of interest.
"Thank you this time, old man." She hissed in response, "If it weren't for you, I might not have been able to see through this man for another twelve years!"
"Eh, you're welcome!" The basilisk said proudly, "It's rare to meet someone of my kind who has the same intelligence as me, and of course we have to be in cahoots...... Oh no, of course we're all in the same boat!"
……
Voldemort couldn't find Nagini and couldn't make his sixth Horcrux, so he was distressed.
Equally distressed was Voldemort's Horcrux diary.
Riddle had been lurking with Harry Potter for a long time, but his greatest goal, stealing Harry's blood, had never been achieved.
In fact, when Voldemort returned Riddle's soul body in the diary, he also sent him a lot of soul power, and it was with this power that Riddle successfully arranged advanced spells such as the Unchartable Charm and the Avoidance Charm at No. 4 Privet Road in Little Whitkin, preventing many owls from delivering letters to Harry.
[Given the circumstances, Riddle initially thought that this task would be easy.
He thought that if he could lurk around Harry Potter in the dead of night, secretly cast a stun spell on Harry, and then slit Harry's wrist while he was asleep, he could easily collect the blood of the savior.
However, Riddle suffered a setback the first time he did so.
After slitting Harry's wrist, he wanted to use the diary to contain the ink to collect Harry's blood directly.
Unfortunately, it didn't work out, and it was in Harry's Blood and Horcrux diaries
When they came into contact with each other, the ordinary blood seemed to turn into the highest concentration of sulfuric acid, which directly corroded a blank page of paper into a large hole. ….
It took Riddle a lot of soul power to repair the hole, and as he repaired it, he also had to use a healing spell on the little wizard he hated to prevent him from waking up to find something unusual.
During the second operation, Riddle learned the lesson of blood and learned a little smarter.
He found a glass container and used the Cutting Charm to cut a hole in Harry's wrist in order to contain the blood.
Riddle was right, as long as he didn't use the journal itself to touch Harry's blood, he wouldn't be corrupted by it.
However, he was not happy for long.
As Harry's blood accumulated in the glass container to nearly enough for resurrection, it was as if a spell had never been passed from the blood that Riddle had never seen before, and even caused Harry's entire body to launch a passive resistance at the same time.
Riddle instantly felt a nemesis-striking power coming from Harry's body.
It took a lot of effort for him to get the blood back into Harry's veins, stopping the magic in the blood, but it also cost him more soul power.
Since then, Riddle has learned that Harry Potter has an unknown force guarding him, so the method of slitting his wrists to get blood is not available.
But Riddle was not discouraged, and thought of a better way.
He decided to lurk by Harry's side, subtly gain Harry's trust, and finally let him bring his own blood to Voldemort to help him achieve a true resurrection!
As a result, Harry gained a patient, friendly, and high-level magical mentor and successfully won the first place in the final exam of Defence Against the Dark Arts!
When Harry returned to his aunt's house from Hogwarts, all of his magic paraphernalia were locked up, including Riddle's Horcrux diary.
But Riddle was not disappointed, but in ecstasy—
Through his own experience in the orphanage as a child, he thinks that Harry must have wanted to have a friend with whom he could empathize and share his weal and woe when he was ostracized by his family.
So he cast the Avoidance Charm and the Unchartable Charm to prevent Harry from receiving letters from his friends, making him feel extremely lonely.
Riddle, on the other hand, waited in the cupboard, waiting for Harry to be squeezed out by his uncle, aunt, and form for a short time, until it was close to the birthday that no one celebrated for him, and then he thought the time was ripe.
He had slipped out of the cupboard before Harry's birthday and came to Harry.
"Don't worry, Harry." Riddle wrote in his journal, "I don't have the power to get you out of here, but I can give you a good note."
"First of all, we must take revenge for all your suffering!"
Riddle thinks about his life as a child in an orphanage.
At that time, when he was ostracized by others, he just wanted someone to give him the strength to take revenge on anyone who had bullied him in a frenzy.
Riddle thought that Harry would be like him, and wanted to get revenge on the Dursleys, thinking that in this way he would gain Harry's trust once and for all.
But he was wrong, very wrong!
Harry Potter is essentially a kind, caring, and good boy who is good at finding luck in an unfortunate life. He had a visceral fear and disgust for such an evil and terrible spell as the Requisition Curse.
So Harry didn't cast the Curse as Voldemort had imagined and completely reversed his original personality.
Not only that, but Harry even had some doubts about the diary because of this, and stopped talking to Riddle with anything on his mind as he had before.
After Harry was picked up by Ron, Fred, and George in a flying car, Riddle felt that things were getting out of hand.
