[Aren’t you willing to tell me your name today? 】
The soul piece calling himself "Tom" is still trying to get closer to Noah.
Noah leaned on the bedside, glanced at his roommates who were already sleeping in the bed due to exhaustion, flipped through the pages of the diary before taking out a quill and started writing.
It has to be said that there are risks in communicating with Horcruxes. Just writing a few words can absorb soul power and vitality. If Noah had not been sensitive and prepared a protective spell for himself in advance, he would have been unable to avoid it. Extraction.
There are also big problems with the description of [Horcruxes] in the book. It only emphasizes the evil nature and production methods of Horcruxes, and rarely mentions other aspects. At least, there is not much mention of the soul tablets absorbing life force and reviving them. easy.
The two soul weapons he got before were quite safe... but it was more likely because he just studied them after getting them and didn't give the soul pieces a chance to revive. It would be nice if they weren't consumed by him in turn.
This soul piece is still unclear about its situation, and is still depressed about why it cannot absorb Noah's vitality. Its perception of the surrounding environment is limited, and it can only have a limited perception of what is happening outside when it is opened, so It still has doubts about how it got into Noah's hands. Another reason is because he doesn't know Noah at all. When Ginny was in Ginny's hands, the little witch would only complain about her brother. Or tell her admiration for Harry, and if the other soul pieces want to ask, Ginny has to know, but a first-year little witch usually only has some little girl troubles, and the most the soul piece can ask is "Harry Potter is the savior" is a well-known message.
It can only judge that Noah is a Slytherin, which is nothing wrong. Compared with the little witch of the Weasley family, Slytherin is more useful to it if it can absorb his life or occupy his body. If so, you can sneak into the school again naturally. As for Noah not being fooled and unable to draw strength for some reason, the Soul Piece didn't take it to heart. It doesn't think it can't deal with a little wizard, which shows that its brain is actually not very normal.
Both of them had their own plans, so they showed a harmonious atmosphere, as if they were talking happily, but the conversation was all nutritious nonsense.
After a while, the only useful topic was "secret room".
[Has the secret room been opened again?] This line of writing appeared on the page, [It must have been that guy again. That evil guy who was expelled from the academy...]
Noah didn't know much about these details, but he could tell that the soul piece wanted to talk to him about this, so Noah let him continue: [Do you know who opened the secret room? 】
[Of course, this is exactly why I left this diary. I have always known that someone has been trying to cover up the truth! 】
Noah didn't have to guess who he was referring to in this blaming tone - Principal Dumbledore. As expected of an old enemy, they never forget to blame each other even when they are cut into pieces.
[I mean, this diary records some terrible past events, some hidden past events, a past event that happened at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. 】The soul piece is emphasized repeatedly to increase credibility.
Noah had heard from other Slytherins that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened fifty years ago, but then nothing happened, and it was said that no one knew the real truth.
But someone must have taken the blame. Noah recalled the main characters of the original plot and quickly identified a possible candidate.
[You mean Rubeus Hagrid? 】
【……how do you know? 】Hun Pian was obviously confused. He didn't expect Noah to directly report the name.
This is actually very simple. Although Noah does not remember the detailed plot, the last time the secret room incident was covered up and nothing happened, it must have been solved. But Voldemort is still fine, that is, someone else has been solved.
To be able to be defined as "opening the secret room", there must be relevant evidence, which means there must be something that can kill the wizard. Let's talk about the "culprit" who was caught. Since he was caught and covered up, The truth, then what happened at that time must have been handled in a low-key manner. I think he was secretly expelled from school. If we contact the race that appeared many times in the original plot of Harry Potter, one of them was dropped halfway.
The man who dropped out of school and broke his wand was gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid, which was easy to guess given the bloody nature of fairy tales.
He could even guess who put the blame on Hagrid. Oh, there was no need to guess, it was just Voldemort.
Noah closed the diary and locked all the doubts in the soul piece inside. He looked at the time, put the diary away and lay on the bed and fell asleep.
He has consumed a lot of energy recently to support Keya, and he needs enough rest.
…
It stands to reason that since the Horcrux fell into Noah's hands, Voldemort basically lost the ability to cause trouble, so he could no longer summon the basilisk.
But this is not the case. The basilisk has been awakened. Although it is still in the recovery stage, it is not an obedient puppet. Or to be precise, after losing the restrictions of Voldemort, the basilisk is much freer. So in a few days Later, there was another victim in the school, and there was not one.
News quickly spread throughout the college that a ghost and a young wizard were sent to the school hospital together, and they were discovered by the lake.
The ghost was a fat monk, and the one who was killed together with the fat monk was a first-year Hufflepuff wizard. The two were probably walking by the lake and were unfortunately killed.
Noah suspected that the basilisk wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest to look for food, and might have accidentally bumped into the two of them while passing by.
But as new victims appeared, the atmosphere in the school became even more tense. Except for Slytherin, who knew the situation, the young wizards in other houses were in a state of suspicion, especially the first grade, where everyone was in danger. Degree.
Slytherin, who learned about the situation from Noah, also remained silent. Except for occasionally clamoring to get rid of the "Mudbloods", he was surprisingly calm, although such words were enough to incite hatred.
In this tense atmosphere, amulets, exorcisms or other small things to protect oneself have become inexplicably popular in the academy, and the young wizards are willing to exchange loyalties with each other, especially some young wizards who come from Muggle families. I received all kinds of gifts from my friends, which to some extent showed my true feelings.
Noah tried to talk to the basilisk for several days after the victim appeared. Without the interference of the soul piece, he might not be able to persuade the basilisk to leave the castle. But the strange thing is that he still couldn't catch the trace of the basilisk. After thinking like this, Noah had to consider going to the secret room in person.
