Harry looked at the Special Contribution Medal, and he also found Riddle's name in another place.
"He must be very good."
Staring at the list of Head Boy Council presidents, Harry said this.
He felt that maybe this person was as good as John, otherwise he would not have received these awards.
Suddenly, as if someone was guiding him, he turned his head and looked at the corner.
The old diary does not look conspicuous. It is almost the same color as the ground in the corner.
"TM Riddle...Tom Riddle!"
Harry noticed the diary and opened the faded cover. There was a name on the first page.
When Harry saw the name, he instantly remembered what John had said.
He didn't know if this was the Riddle that John was looking for, but he knew at this moment that he should take the diary back.
hall.
When Harry came back, Hermione saw him and urged him to do his homework.
Harry nodded absently, and when everyone was almost gone, he mysteriously took out the diary.
"What is this? It looks old."
After taking out the things, Ron complained.
"You're right Ron, it is indeed very old, at least 50 years old."
Hermione noticed the faded date on it, took the diary over, opened it, and saw the life characters on it.
"TM Riddle? Who is this?"
"Wait a minute, I know this name..."
Ron recalled the medal he had polished dozens of times and was about to speak when Harry interrupted him impatiently.
"None of it matters, John seems to be looking for it."
"What?" Hermione was stunned. She thought it was John's thing and said, "We have to return it to John."
"No, no, Hermione, you heard me."
After stopping Hermione who wanted to hand it back to John, Harry told what he had seen in the trophy room.
"Ron, do you remember that Malfoy said that the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago?"
He turned to look at Ron, who remembered it as soon as he thought about it.
"Perhaps Riddle discovered the opened secret room fifty years ago, so he received the medal."
Harry said in a low voice, excitement on his face.
Hermione hesitated, and whispered: "It's so important, why don't we give it to John."
"Please Hermione, don't always be John John, John!"
Hearing that name again, Harry felt inexplicably irritated. He grabbed the diary and said, "He is Slytherin and we are Gryffindor. Why do we always have to listen to him?"
After saying that, Harry looked at the two people who were a little stunned and said, "We can investigate on our own. If we investigate it one step ahead, we will be the heroes of Hogwarts."
Seeing what Hermione wanted to say, Harry said impatiently: "Don't forget, John may also be the heir of Slytherin."
This made Hermione shut up.
The three of them tried to decipher the secret in the diary, but unfortunately, there was nothing written in the diary.
It's like someone gave this diary for Christmas, and the owner casually forgot where it was.
They studied it for a while, and Hermione felt that it was using hidden magic, and it was useless to use a wand to make it visible.
The next day, Harry took the diary and flipped through the pages.
It's blank, there's nothing there.
Hermione thought they should start with medals, so the three little ones went to the trophy room again, but found nothing.
A few days passed, and the diary was in Harry's hand.
That day, he was flipping through the pages boredly in the library. Hermione ran over and asked, "Harry, John has been looking for you several times."
"Sorry Hermione, I don't really want to see John at this time."
Harry rested his cheek indifferently with one hand and flipped through his diary with the other.
This made Hermione think Harry was crazy. She shouted like a furious lion, "Don't do this again!"
Angry, Hermione grabbed the diary and threw it, hitting the ink bottle on the table. Harry was shocked.
"I really don't know why you feel like you've been cursed."
Hermione got angry and turned to leave the library.
Ms. Pince opened her mouth, intending to tell Hermione to get out, but the other party left first.
Harry didn't know whether to chase Hermione or save the diary first. After much hesitation, he came to the diary.
This time, he realized something was wrong.
The ink that should have flowed to the table now flows towards the diary.
Harry's eyes lit up. He opened the diary and saw the ink being absorbed continuously.
This reminded Harry of something. He quickly took out his pen and wrote a line on the blank page of his diary.
"My name is Harry Potter."
I looked at the diary anxiously.
After less than three seconds, the words began to be absorbed by the paper.
Then words seeped out onto the paper that Harry had never written.
"Hello, Harry Potter."
"My name is Tom Riddle, how did you find my diary?"
This magical scene made Harry's eyes widen. After the writing disappeared, Harry hurriedly wrote a sentence.
"Found in the corner of the trophy room."
"Fortunately, I recorded my past in a more permanent way than ink. That person always wanted to find me."
that person?
Harry's heart was beating fast, and he felt like he was about to grasp the truth.
"What do you mean?" His hands were shaking with excitement as he scribbled this sentence on the paper.
The ink was quickly absorbed, and a line of words resurfaced.
"This diary contains some terrible truths, some hidden truths that some people don't want others to see."
Harry took deep breaths as if he had just finished running. He tried to calm down, but his intuition told him that this time he had found the truth about the Chamber of Secrets.
He wrote this sentence on the paper: "Do you know about the secret room?"
"The secret room? Has it been opened again? That scary monster. When I was in fifth grade, the secret room was opened, and the monster inside attacked several students..."
There was no concealment in the diary. Harry knew it was a basilisk. He quickly wrote a response to Riddle on the paper.
He looked like a good student who studied hard, but the more he looked at him, the more frightened he became.
Tom Riddle knew about the Chamber of Secrets and how dangerous it was.
Harry is only one step away from the truth.
He wrote on the paper: "Do you know who the murderer is?"
"Rubber Hagrid, he is a giant hybrid who was discriminated against by the students. In order to gain attention, he deliberately released monsters."
This line of words made Harry feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He felt a little out of breath. He stabilized his trembling right hand with his left hand and wrote with difficulty: "Is it okay if I am not a pure blood?"
"The Heir of Slytherin picks only the good and the evil."
Everything comes full circle.
Harry leaned back in his chair and stared blankly at the diary.
John Wick was born as a Muggle wizard and was at the bottom of Slytherin.
In order to make himself noticed, he opened the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets and used the basilisk inside to establish his authority.
"Why are you like this, John."
Harry said sadly, feeling sorry for his friend's turn for the worse, and at the same time an idea came to his mind.
I want to stop John, I can't let him go wrong.
Like Tom Riddle stopping Hagrid.
Harry didn't realize that he was even suspicious of Hagrid.
If it were in the past, he would never be like this. At most, he would suspect that Hagrid opened it accidentally.
But now, not only did he not feel anything was wrong, on the contrary, he confirmed the idea.
In the diary, young Tom Riddle showed an irrepressible smile.
He was holding the same diary as Harry's and took out a pen to write in it.
"I know where the entrance to the secret room is. If the secret room opens again, I hope you can stop it."
Harry's eyes lit up when he saw where the Chamber of Secrets was. He seemed to see himself stopping John, becoming the hero of the whole school, and shaking hands with Dumbledore.
"I will," Harry wrote firmly.
...
"Harry, boy, where have you been these days?"
John blocked people after class, but Harry ran away.
He was a little helpless and didn't know what was wrong with Harry. He had never seen him so busy usually.
John didn't think Harry was hiding from him on purpose. After all, he had a good relationship with Harry.
He heard Hermione's strong footsteps hitting the floor and asked with some confusion: "Hermione, have you found Harry?"
