The next morning, students from Hogwarts houses sat around long tables in the cafeteria.

The air is filled with the enticing smell of bread, desserts and grilled sausages.

Ron had a great appetite as usual, but Harry next to him had a tense little face and seemed a little sullen.

"What's wrong, Harry?" Ron gripped his knife and fork and asked with a smile, "Laugh, isn't it worth a few days to win that Slytherin and Malfoy bastard?" ”

"I'm not upset, I just haven't woken up yet......"

Harry smiled forcefully, then grabbed his knife and fork and began to eat breakfast.

Hermione saw that he had something on his mind, frowned, and asked in a low voice, "What happened last night?" ”

“…… It's nothing. ”

Harry shook his head, not telling the two friends what had happened last night.

Last night, before he returned to his dorm, Dobby, the house-elf, reappeared, warning Harry again to get him out of school, and his nervous words accidentally revealed the fact that he was using Bludger to attack him.

This made Harry feel sad and couldn't help but be preoccupied.

From Dobby's words, he could tell that the legendary Chamber of Secrets had really been opened, and that there was something very dangerous inside......

Hermione frowned, her mouth open to continue.

But just then, a tall, lanky Slytherin senior passed behind Harry, causing her to keep her mouth shut.

Ander glanced at Harry, who was preoccupied, and then continued forward, ignoring the strange eyes of the Ravenclaw students around him, and stood behind the quiet blonde girl not far away.

"Fana, come out with me, I have something to look for you."

The cold voice caused the surrounding Ravenclaw students to whisper.

Fana frowned slightly, took a serious look at Ender's face, and saw that he was still as calm as ever, and knew that he really had something very important to look for him.

Without hesitation, Fana picked up a piece of bread, took her bag and followed him out of the dining room.

Seeing this scene, the young and budding little girls whispered about each other, as if they began to think about each other because of their actions.

Arriving in a quiet corner of Hogwarts Castle, Fana munched on bread and asked softly, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Ander waved his wand, blocking out the surrounding sounds, and then looked at her and said seriously: "Two things, one, the old wizard from the East has reached an agreement with Headmaster Dumbledore, they will start the 'East-West Exchange Students' activity, the first batch of exchange students is only two, one of them is me, the other candidate, I recommended you to Headmaster Dumbledore." ”

“……”

Fana frowned and wondered, "Is there any benefit to participating in this event?" ”

Ander said softly: "Of course there are benefits, the Eastern Wizarding World has a longer history than the Western Wizarding World, and the experience and knowledge it has accumulated will inevitably be quite rich, even if it is not a deep study, it is also an excellent opportunity to broaden your horizons and enhance your strength." ”

Fana nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, I'm participating, what about the second thing?" ”

Ender's face became solemn, and he took out a book with a black cover from his bosom and laid it flat on the windowsill.

Fana was slightly stunned, then couldn't help but widen her eyes, and whispered, "This is ...... Tom Riddle's diary? ”

Ander nodded slightly, looked at the black cover of the diary and said softly, "Last night, someone threw this diary on my bed, I guess it was probably done by Ginny who was manipulated by Tom Riddle......"

As time-travelers who are familiar with the plot, they naturally know what the recent incident in the secret room is all about.

It all started with this Tom Riddle, or Voldemort's diary.

In 1943, Tom Riddle, who was in his sixth year at Hogwarts, made the diary into a Horcrux and stored his memories of being sixteen years old, and after becoming Voldemort, he gave it to Lucius Malfoy, who was still a Death Eater at the time, and Lucius kept the diary in secret.

Until this summer, in order to ruin Arthur Weasley's reputation, kick Dumbledore out of Hogwarts, and get rid of a very troublesome dark magic item, Lucius secretly stuffed it to Ginny Weasley in the Blotted Bookstore.

At school, Ginny quickly learns how to communicate with Tom Riddle through the diary, but she doesn't know that the diary is a sixteen-year-old Voldemort, and only sees him as an empathetic soul, and shares all her inner thoughts with him.

As time passed, the young Ginny was gradually manipulated by the diary due to her weak will.

Tom Riddle grew stronger and finally took control of Ginny, forcing her to open the Chamber of Secrets, unleash the basilisk, and write warning words on the walls of the castle corridors.

According to the normal plot development, Ginny will gradually realize the fact that she is being manipulated, and throw the journal into the toilet bowl to flush it, and then it will be flushed out by the toilet bowl and fall under the pool, where it will be picked up by Harry Potter.

But before all this happened, Tom Riddle's diary actually came to Ender......

Fana frowned and analyzed: "Ginny is kind by nature, it is impossible to throw it to Ling after finding out that there is something wrong with the diary, so it can only be Tom Riddle who possesses Ginny, but why would he do it?" ”

"Could it be that he discovered the secret of you?"

Fana's subconscious blurted out speculation that made Ander stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be vigilant: "What secret?" ”

"......" Fana knew that she had lost her words, and immediately pursed her lips, shook her head, "It's nothing." ”

Ander's face was cloudy, and after pondering for a moment or two, he still sighed: "You found out?" ”

Fana stared at his eyes and saw that there was no murder in his eyes, so she nodded slightly: "Do you remember the afternoon of the third week of school, when I was in the classroom, I saw you shoot a mosquito to death in the corridor, and then control the mosquito to fly, that kind of flight is not floating, let alone resurrecting from the dead, but maintaining the state of a dead corpse." ”

"So, I'm guessing that your magic stats should be on the dark side, and you may have the ability to manipulate corpses."

“……”

Ender's cheek muscles twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Can you see this?

Do you remember that?

Seeing that Ander was shocked, a faint smile appeared on Fana's face.

She held out a white finger and tapped her temple and whispered, "I said, my brain is very good, and my memory is excellent, if you need to, I can tell how many times you waved your hand as you passed through that corridor, or how many steps you took in total......"

Similar to Ander Kerr, Fana's powerful time-traveler soul also resonates with magical powers, and has acquired a memory hall-like ability, capable of extracting past memories at any time, and conducting knowledge review and theoretical research in her sleep.

Ander couldn't help but say, "You're really a monster!" ”

Fana smiled shallowly: "Thanks for the compliment!" ”

Ander sighed and whispered, "Well, for the sake of us now being partners, I can tell you that my magic is indeed biased towards dark magic, which may be why Tom Riddle came to me." ”

"So now the question is, what do I do with this notebook?"

Fana thought for a moment and said softly: "Throw it away, or return it to Ginny or other innocent people, you can't do this kind of thing, and it doesn't make much sense, Tom Riddle has set his sights on you, no matter who you hand it over, you may eventually return to you, but if you destroy it, we don't have this ability for the time being......"

Ander shook his head and said, "I've already thought about what you said, and what I want to hear is other suggestions." ”

Fana nodded and said softly, "I have two suggestions here, either give it to Harry Potter and get the plot back on track, or give it to someone who has the ability to destroy it, such as Headmaster Dumbledore, or a powerful wizard of his level......"

Ander thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "No, handing it over to Harry doesn't necessarily get the plot back on track, and if it is handed over to Headmaster Dumbledore, then we won't be able to profit from it." ”

Fana frowned and asked, "I've always wondered, what kind of benefit do you want to get out of this?" ”

"What do you say?" Ender asked rhetorically, and said calmly, "Now that you know my hidden secrets, you should understand how precious the basilisk's corpse is to me, right?" ”

Moreover, the basilisk's teeth, skin, and venom are extremely rare materials, and Ander has long coveted them.

"I've already asked Headmaster Dumbledore." Ander said softly, "The exchange student activity will start in seven days, we don't have time to wait for Harry and them to act, we must enter the secret room as soon as possible......"

Fana frowned and asked, "Are you sure you can deal with the basilisk?" ”

Ander nodded: "If it's an all-out shot, then there is, and it's very certain." ”

Fana shook her head and said, "But if you're going to go all out, you can't take Harry with you, but without Harry, there's no Parseltongue, and without Parseltongue, you can't open the door to the Chamber of Secrets—except with his help." ”

With that last sentence, Fana turned her gaze to the journal and sighed softly.

"So, you've already made up your mind in your heart, right......"

So why do you even ask me?

Fana silently added in her heart, but she didn't say it.

Ender fell silent, apparently acquiescing to this fact.

Fana looked at the diary and asked softly, "Have you ever tried to communicate with Tom Riddle in the diary?" ”

"Not ...... yet"

Ander shook his head and said, "I'm thinking about discussing it with you before deciding whether or not to communicate with him." ”

Fana was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then the corners of her mouth curled, revealing two shallow dimples on her fair face.
