Hogwarts Card System Chapter 156

Chapter 156 The Victim and the Diary Appear Again

The days after the start of the New Year's term are relatively calm, and Hermione's cat ears were also cured by Madam Pomfrey, which is quite a pity~

At the beginning, the friends were still searching for the secret room, but the children inevitably became passionate for three minutes, and gradually forgot about it after half a month of no progress.

Except for Hermione who visits her roommate Clara in the school hospital every now and then, that is, Neville will talk about the growth of the mandrake in the greenhouse.

Ted and the others have changed the pots for the Mandrakes three times this semester, and every time they are wild.

And Neville also cultivated the first batch of magic seeds with the help of the horned boy Gufu. But just after planting, I still don't know if the effect of the final growth can reach the effect recorded in the manual.

Cultivating new magical plants is also a long process. Even because the mutation of plants is not so drastic, it often takes several generations of improvement and takes several years.

This is also the reason why Ted has never thought about making magical plants by himself. Without the energy, it is better to study how to strengthen magical animals. This thing works instantly!

Anyway, Ansu's "evolution" is very successful...

On January 22nd, when the students were going back to their dormitories after dinner, a shocking news came suddenly—someone was killed again!

And this time not one, but two!

Hufflepuff resident ghost Fat Friar and Hufflepuff student Justin Finchrey, petrified in the basement near the kitchen.

Justin and Ted are in the same class. Although they are not very good, they are more sincere.

Ted still remembers that when he was in the dueling club, he had dueled with himself. Although he lost in a few strokes, he was not angry at all. Instead, he said that he admired Ted.

Now he was frozen like a stone statue, and fell in the corridor.

And the one who fell with him was the ghostly fat monk.

It is said that it is already a ghost, so it cannot be killed a second time.

But his current state is really weird, still insubstantial, but stiff and motionless, exuding a faint black air all over his body, which makes him feel very ominous.

If it was said that Clara's attack last time only scared the little wizards, then this time it really scared them.

Because this shows that the last time Clara was recruited was not an accident, the Chamber of Secrets was real, and there is a high probability that the heir cleaned Hogwarts—Justin was born as a Muggle.

Moreover, what method can "petrify" ghosts together? !

At this time, people thought of Neville's Parseltongue again.

Now eating in the auditorium, there are only Ted and the others within three meters around Neville.

Everyone looked at Neville as if they saw a ghost, they all avoided, pointing and whispering behind their backs.

But fortunately, Neville's mentality is much more stable than Harry in the original book, and he has more friends.

Ted, the five of them, and the Weasley twins, Ginny and Luna don't care about other people's gazes, and often talk to Neville.

Although it is said that Neville's mentality has been strengthened due to the enormous pressure he has endured since he was a child, but he can't really calm down about those behind-the-scenes discussions, and there are still some depressions.

One day, he went to the bathroom, washed his hands and was about to leave when he suddenly heard whispers.

"Come here! Come here ~ come to me ~" as if someone was calling him.

Neville walked towards the back of the bathroom curiously, and saw an old diary on the windowsill.

The leather cover is very worn and looks old.

Neville didn't know why, but felt that the diary was very kind, so he couldn't help picking it up and looking at it carefully.

"Tom Riddle..." He saw the signature of the diary, but when he opened it, there was nothing in it. Turning to the end, I saw the address of a Muggle bookstore.

"Is it a little wizard from a Muggle family?"

Neville thought about it, "No, no, judging by the appearance of this diary, it must have been a long time ago. The owner of the diary may be very old now. How could it be here? Who left it there? here?"

With goodwill and trust in the little wizard of the Muggle family, Neville took the diary away and brought it back to the dormitory.

Back to the dormitory, there is no one. Ron and Jerry go to the kitchen to help (eat and drink).

The other two, Dean and Seamus, fear Neville like snakes and scorpions, and will not come back until the lights are turned off every night.

Neville even felt that the two of them might have to apply for a new dormitory next semester.

"Alas~" He sighed thinking of this.

Depressed, Neville opened the diary, took out a quill pen and wrote homework casually.

As a result, the paper disappeared after less than one page was written! The ink on that book looks like it has seeped into the book!

Neville: My homework!

Just when Neville was surprised, new handwriting appeared on the diary: This thesis has just written the beginning, but it is already full of loopholes...

Then revealed the errors in Neville's hundreds of words.

"Who are you?" Neville asked. But the diary didn't move.

"Oh oh oh!" Neville picked up a pen and began to write: Who are you?

Diary: I am a memory of Tom Riddle.

Tom Riddle?

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, it's been almost fifty years since I was in school.

Neville was taken aback for a moment, fifty years!

Although he guessed that the original owner of the diary might be very old, he didn't expect it to be a diary from fifty years ago.

Next, the two pen pals started chatting.

Senior Tom is eloquent and considerate. On the one hand, he advised Neville not to be burdened by the fame of the Boy Who Lived, and on the other hand, he told him that people will always be misunderstood in life, so don't care too much about other people's opinions.

Also tutored Neville to complete the Potions homework. When it was the turn of the Defense Against the Dark Arts homework, senior Tom was silent for a moment: "Your current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, what is this stuff left?" !

Soon, senior Tom won the trust of Neville, who had never experienced too many intrigues.

He began to guide Neville to narrate his distress and experience, and by the way, talk about the current situation of the school...

Neville had a very happy chat, as if he was chatting with Ted.

Recently, he has been very busy due to the cultivation of magic plants and the victim of the second secret room, and he didn't communicate too much with Ted.

The depression in my heart has been suppressed for a long time.

Suddenly, Neville remembered about the Chamber of Secrets.

According to Malfoy, the Chamber of Secrets was opened once fifty years ago, killing people.

Has Senior Tom experienced this period of history?

He quickly asked in his diary: Senior, do you know about Slytherin's secret room?

It took several seconds before the handwriting appeared: Chamber of Secrets? Why do you suddenly ask this?

you know?

Oh yes, a very bad memory. Some people even died because of it! You ask me now, is it possible that someone has opened the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets again?

Neville became excited when he saw this: Senior Tom really knew!

Do you know who the heir of Slytherin is?

That's... I do know.

Tell me, senior, we have to stop him!

Well, if you insist. Don't resist, I'll let you see my memories...

In a trance, Neville felt dizzy, as if he had fallen into a diary.

Then, in a ghost-like incorporeal state, where no one can touch, see, or hear, he followed the young and handsome senior Tom, and cracked an incident of illegal breeding of pets on the Hogwarts campus!

He also knew who the student who died fifty years ago was the ghost called the Weeping Myrtle!

After an unknown amount of time, his spirit had returned, and he sat at the table in a daze.

He was panting heavily, and fell into a very difficult inner struggle.

Hagrid turned out to be the heir of Slytherin!

He raised monsters and killed students, so he was expelled!

how come? How could it be Hagrid? !

Impossible, impossible!

But, but this is what I saw with my own eyes.

what to do? what do I do?

He immediately thought of contacting Ted.

But the note had already been written, and when he was about to cast a spell to turn into a paper crane, he stopped suddenly.

What if Hagrid is really the heir?

Are you going to report him?

What would happen if Ted found out? Will he inform on Hagrid? !

Neville's pupils trembled suddenly, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he fell into a dilemma.

At this time, Jerry and Ron suddenly heard chatting and laughing outside the door.

Neville panicked, and hastily put away the diary...
