Chapter 167 Tom Riddle

Chapter 167 Tom Riddle

"I really know." Harry never thought about a book, there are so many ways, the wizard's world is really dangerous.

The book lay on the ground, soaked and indistinct.

"Okay, I'm not going to open it," Harry lowered his head and picked up the book from the floor while Ron wasn't paying attention.

Harry recognized it immediately. It was a notebook, the faded date on the cover showing it was fifty years old. He turned the book over and found the back cover, with the name of a newsagent printed on it and the address of him and his shop in Vauxhall Road, London.

"This is a student's notebook. He should be a Muggle. Only Muggles can buy notebooks in the shop on Vauxhall Road." Harry roughly guessed the book by using the information revealed on the cover of the book. origin of.

"You're really amazing." Ron said with some surprise, he didn't expect Harry to guess so much from such a little detail, "Maybe we can open it up, a Muggle student's notebook, there won't be much Terrible power."

Harry was about to do this, he opened the notebook carefully, and on the first page, on the damp paper, the faint ink was a barely recognizable name, Tom Riddle.

"Wait." Ron thought of something, "I see, I remember the name, Tom Riddle won the special contribution award to the school."

∟Chang∟Wind∟Wen∟Xue, w≌ww.cfw▼x.n⊙et "How did you know?" Harry didn't recall any book that might contain such information.

"You know, Filch likes to punish students for labor, and he doesn't allow us to use wands." Ron was a little resentful when he mentioned this, "I used to be punished and wiped such a trophy with a rag. To be as clean as magic, that's not easy."

Harry continued to turn back page after page, nothing but blank space behind. Not even the slightest mark, the cover is old enough to tell the traces of time, but the paper is like new.

"He didn't write anything," said Harry disappointedly. "It's just an old diary with no value."

"Well, it's hard for a student's notebook to record anything useful, let alone someone throws it away." Ron said disapprovingly, a really useful magic book might have some special protection measures.

But Harry was still a little unwilling to put the notebook in his pocket.

Go back to dorms,

Harry showed the notebook to Hermione and told how they found it.

"It doesn't look anything special, but we can try it." Hermione took the notebook and looked at it carefully.

"Maybe it's nothing at all, just a simple student notebook." Ron was not optimistic about their guesses, how secret a student's notebook can be, "Since it is embarrassing to see people, why not follow its meaning and put it lost?"

"I wonder why someone throws it in the bathroom, it's not a good idea to deal with a notebook." Harry said with some puzzlement, "Also, I also seem to know how Riddle got Hogwarts. the Special Contribution Award."

"Who knows." Ron disagreed, thinking it was a waste of time to study a blank notebook from fifty years ago. "He might have caught thirty owls, or rescued a teacher from a monster. Or he murdered Myrtle, I think everyone will thank him."

But Harry and Hermione had the same focused expressions on their faces. They didn't think it was futile like Ron did, but thought of something.

"What did you find?" Ron looked suspiciously at Hermione and then at Harry.

"The Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago, wasn't it?" Hermione grasped the point.

"So what?" Ron said disapprovingly.

"This notebook is also from fifty years ago." Hermione waved the notebook in her hand excitedly.

"And then?" Ron thought they were making too much fuss, it was just a notebook with nothing written, the point was not the notes, but nothing.

"Ron, wake up." Hermione said angrily, "You think about it, the last heir to Slytherin was expelled fifty years ago. We also know that Tom Riddle was awarded fifty years ago The school's special contribution award. Isn't it obvious enough to connect these?"

Hermione was a little surprised by Ron's sluggishness, "Riddle probably won the Special Contribution Award for catching Slytherin's heir. And his notebook is probably hidden, where is the secret room and how to open it. There's even information on the Slytherin heir."

"That's really good reasoning, Hermione." Ron also thought it was good reasoning, "but first you have to make sure that there is really something written in this notebook, and it's just a blank notebook."

"I'll find it." Hermione said forcefully, and she took out her wand from her schoolbag. "Maybe it's the invisible potion."

She tapped a few times on the notebook with her wand and read, "Quickly show up!"

The notebook didn't respond, and she wasn't discouraged. Continue to take out one thing from the bag, it is a red eraser. "This is the invisible eraser that I bought in Diagon Alley. It can break the invisibility." She said as she rubbed the eraser on the notebook, but there was nothing.

"That's it, it's actually very simple, Riddle just got a notebook for Christmas, but he didn't plan to write anything on it." Ron looked like he knew it for a long time.

"It's not that simple. A blank notebook from fifty years ago will not be kept until now, and no one will suddenly throw it away." Harry didn't believe that the notebook was completely normal.

It might be hard to explain, but he had a strange feeling, like a foreboding. He was sure he had never heard the name Tom Riddle, but an inexplicable feeling made him feel that the name was very special to him, as if Tom Riddle was a distant friend of his.

Of course, he has no friends other than Hogwarts. The Dursleys forbid him from making friends so as not to expose his abuse. It is even more impossible for him to make friends with someone from fifty years ago, but this inexplicable feeling has always appeared in his heart.

This made him unable to let go of this notebook all the time. He would read the blank notes one by one thoughtfully, as if he could see something from the blank.

In any case, Harry still intends to learn more about Riddle. During the courseware event the next day, he went to the prize showroom to see Riddle's special contribution medal.

Hermione was also eager to discover something, only Ron was not interested in it. He had been punished by Filch for scrubbing the prizes here many times, and he was already tired of it.
