Tom Riddle is really good at reading people's minds and disguising himself.
After learning that the person who picked up the diary was a young wizard with excellent academic performance, he has been building up his persona as a "genius academic master" in an attempt to quickly get closer to Kyle.
Maybe it can't be considered a character... After all, he is a top student.
It is precisely because of this that when faced with the questions raised by Kyle, he can always answer them quickly.
Kyle even learned a lot of useful tips from him.
For example, in the Transfiguration class, when facing relatively small insects, drawing circles with the wand can increase accuracy, which is much more convenient than poking them directly.
"I just tried it, and the method you mentioned really works."
Kyle wrote "swish" in his diary.
"I always thought that wrist movements would affect the deformation results."
[In fact, as long as you are skilled enough, wrist movements can play a very good supporting role. 】
[I learned this from a very professional magazine called "Transfiguration Today"]
"I will definitely take a look... Can I buy it in Diagon Alley?" Kyle asked.
[No need to buy them, they are available in the school library. They are placed at the bottom of the fifteenth bookshelf near the right corridor. 】
"I'll go see it after school starts."
[However, they may have changed locations. You can ask the librarian first. 】
[After all, I was created in 1943, so a long time has passed now...]
Kyle looked at the words in the diary, the hand holding the quill paused slightly, and then continued to write like no one else:
"Oh my gosh, it's been fifty years...I thought you were only a few years older than me!"
【You are right to say that. 】
[I am just a memory that stays at the age of fifteen. Time has no meaning to me, so no matter how many years pass, I am still fifteen. 】
"Then you must be lonely,"
[No, because I found you as a friend. 】
Soon, another line of words appeared in the diary. The handwriting was much more scrawled than before. It seemed that Riddle was very nervous when he wrote this sentence.
【Will you be friends with me? 】
"certainly!"
Kyle wrote without hesitation: "I have always wanted to have a friend like you who is smart, warm-hearted, and loves to learn."
【I'm really happy. 】
Kyle has been communicating with Riddle in this way throughout the morning. He writes faster and faster, and his handwriting becomes more and more casual.
During this period, in addition to asking some questions about magic, Kyle said most often that he regretted not being able to become real classmates with Riddle.
While Riddle was answering those questions, he was also inquiring about Kyle's situation.
Slowly, from some clues that the other party inadvertently revealed, he gradually gained a general understanding of the person who had picked up the diary.
A little smart, but much worse than him. The reason for his good grades is mostly due to rote memorization, and all he knows is what has been written in books.
In addition, he has very few friends, only two. One likes wizard chess, and the other is obsessed with Quidditch. They are both mediocre people that he doesn't even bother to look at.
And Riddle could see that... these were all real and he was not lying to himself, which made him extremely excited.
This is simply prey delivered to the door, as if it were for free.
It's too easy to deal with this kind of person.
Because I have been incompatible with the people around me for a long time, I will naturally have a serious lack of identity in my heart...
He only needs to act as a qualified listener and companion, and the other party will definitely open up to him and confide all his secrets.
…
Until the afternoon, when Riddle couldn't hold it in any longer and began to mention the situation outside intentionally or unintentionally, Kyle was no longer ready to continue.
"somebody is coming……"
He hurriedly wrote this sentence, closed the diary, and put it into the box next to him.
Kyle stood up and stretched his wrist.
As thought before, Diary Riddle is indeed capable of Legilimency.
While he was writing just now, he suddenly felt a vague sense of peeping.
But the time was short, only a moment. If he hadn't been wary of Riddle all the time, he might not have noticed this subtle change at all.
And Riddle is not as calm as expected.
He originally thought that the other party would pretend for a while before revealing his purpose, but it was only in the morning that he couldn't help but inquire about the situation outside.
I'm still young and too impetuous.
Who is the most powerful wizard now...Is the principal of Hogwarts Professor Dumbledore...Isn't this just because I want to know my future situation?
If Dumbledore is still alive and well, it will undoubtedly prove that he has failed in the future, and he has failed completely.
On the contrary, if he succeeds, then the most powerful wizard can only be Voldemort... although this is impossible.
After the diary was opened by a young wizard, Riddle should have guessed that Voldemort was "dead", otherwise how could something as important as a Horcrux escape?
So the ultimate purpose of asking is probably to know the reason.
But as soon as he started, Kyle made an excuse and closed the diary without giving him a chance to continue asking.
Kyle came to the window sill and ruffled the feathers on Laton's neck. How should I put it, Riddle seems to be easier to deal with than he thought.
The vest has been put on in the first step. If you follow it step by step, you should be able to ask a lot of things he wants to know.
At least the section "Voldemort's Death in Godric's Hollow" is very valuable.
Want to get rid of the white wolf with nothing? It doesn't exist. It's only fair that everyone has one problem.
"Kyle!"
"look here!"
At this time, Fred and George's voices suddenly came from the window.
When Kyle lowered his head, he discovered that the twins were holding broomsticks and waving to him not far away, followed by Harry, Ron and Ginny.
It looked like they were going to play Quidditch on the hillside behind.
"Want to come together?" Fred asked loudly.
After Kyle thought for a moment, he took his Nimbus 2000 and left the room.
"We mentioned you this morning."
As soon as they met, Fred asked: "Why have you become busier than Percy recently?"
"Nothing," Kyle said casually, "I just found an interesting book a few days ago, so I read it for a while."
No one else cared either.
"Have you finished reading now?" George asked.
"So be it." Kyle said.
After completing the initial communication, the rest of the matter can be done slowly. After all, he has plenty of time and is not in a hurry.
Didn't Riddle want to know why he failed? Then think about it carefully.
Kyle planned to let him go for a while. Anyway, in the past few days, he was not going to touch the diary again.
