On the other hand, with Albert's gentle guidance, Harry decided to re-examine Tom Riddle's diary. Although Ron thought it was a waste of time, Harry didn't care at all and racked his brains to recall some key clues that he had missed.
To this end, Harry wasted an entire afternoon and even skipped the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and finally caught the fleeting inspiration in his memory.
That was a small piece of memory that Albert secretly implanted in Harry's mind. He still remembered that last time... he seemed to have accidentally dropped ink on the diary, and the result was... Harry quickly flipped through the blank pages, and there was no trace of ink on them.
This is a small piece of memory that Albert secretly tampered with, but it has to be said that it is very useful.
As if to re-verify his memory, Harry took out the ink bottle from his backpack, dipped his quill in it, thought for a while, and then casually wrote something on the first page of the diary:
Hello.
An incredible thing happened. The line of text flashed on the paper, as if it was sucked into the paper and disappeared without a trace in an instant, without leaving any trace at all.
Harry was extremely excited, thinking that he might have discovered the secret hidden in Tom Riddle's diary. He could not hide a smile on his face, and quickly dipped the quill into ink again and continued writing:
My name is Harry Potter.
Can you tell me what secret is hidden in this diary
Harry wrote down his doubts on the paper in one breath. He was convinced that this diary must contain some secrets from fifty years ago.
These secrets are like treasures, waiting for him to dig.
After waiting for a long time, a miracle finally happened. Some words suddenly appeared on the blank paper.
Hello, Harry Potter. My name is Tom Riddle. How did you find my diary
In fact, Tom Riddle, who was hiding in the diary, was still very depressed. Ever since he came into contact with Gilderoy Lockhart, he couldn't help but doubt whether everything now was a conspiracy designed against him by the other party.
Although Tom really wanted to meet Harry and find out how he could defeat the greatest wizard of all time when he was just a baby without using any special magical spells, was the man in front of him really the savior Harry Potter
Was this really a trap that Gilderoy Lockhart had set for himself
No matter how you think about it, it seems suspicious!
Curiosity eventually overcame caution, and Tom Riddle replied to Harry Potter.
Some people want to throw it down the toilet.
After Harry hurriedly wrote these words, he had an inexplicable premonition in his heart that this time he might really be able to find clues to the opening of the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago from Tom's diary.
There was an extremely long silence.
This diary records some covered-up past events, some terrible events that happened at Hogwarts School. There are always some people who don't want these things to be known.
Tom Riddle was very good at deceiving people. He could easily sense what Harry Potter was eager to know and find the right entry point.
However, he really couldn't believe how Lockhart could just throw his diary into the toilet. Even if he wanted to insult him, he wouldn't let others take the diary away easily after doing such a thing.
This matter is really suspicious.
Is it really a trap
Damn that bastard!
If Tom hadn't been sure that the person writing in the diary was not the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor named Lockhart, but just a young wizard of twelve or thirteen years old.
Of course, Tom never thought that he had never met Gilderoy Lockhart, who had never personally held a pen to write from beginning to end. Since he had never met him in person, how could he know that the guy who had tricked him was actually Lockhart, not the person in front of him now
Tom Riddle's failure to think of this was obviously related to his lack of brains and his inability to keep up.
Do you know about the Chamber of Secrets
Harry asked impatiently, completely unaware that he had been led by Tom in just a few short sentences.
When I was still in school, the Chamber of Secrets was opened, and the monster attacked the students in the castle and eventually killed one of them. Later, I caught the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets, which led to his expulsion. The school later gave me a gold medal and warned me not to tell anyone, but I knew that this would happen again because the monster was still alive and the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets was not locked up, so I left a diary to remind future generations.
Tom Riddle disguised himself well and tried to win Harry's favor and trust.
Harry's heart was pounding as he wrote on the paper:
Now, it's happening again and no one knows who is planning those attacks.
At this moment, Harry felt that he was closer to the truth. Even his handwriting became messy and he couldn't wait to write:
Who was it last time
Tom Riddle was very satisfied with the result. He was silent for a moment before replying:
I can take you there if you want. You don't have to read my writing. I can take you into my memory, into the night I caught him.
Harry obviously couldn't and wouldn't refuse such a good thing, and he couldn't wait to see the results.
Finally, under the guidance of Tom Riddle, Harry Potter entered Riddle's memory as he wished and saw how Tom caught the person who opened Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.
However, the results were not pleasant.
Because Harry was shocked to find that the prisoner was actually Hagrid. This was simply unacceptable to Harry. He even regretted why he had investigated the matter and why he had read Riddle's diary.
Was it really Hagrid who opened Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets
Harry didn't know, but Hagrid was very suspicious.
Because, after Hagrid was caught and expelled from the school, the attacks stopped. Otherwise, Tom Riddle would not have been able to receive the school's award.
Because of his suspicion of Hagrid, Harry quickly connected many things together.
He did not forget that when he accidentally entered Knockturn Alley during the summer vacation, he met Hagrid there. This was very suspicious. What was Hagrid doing in Knockturn Alley
And, as we all know, Hagrid has a soft spot for giant monsters. Last year, he tried to keep a dragon in his cabin, and also kept a three-headed dog he called "Flucky".
What about the reckless and ignorant young Hagrid fifty years ago
When they heard that there was a monster hiding in the castle, they would definitely try every possible means to find it, just like they searched for the Philosopher's Stone last year. Then, it didn't seem strange to release the imprisoned monster at night to give it a chance to move around.
Of course, Harry was equally willing to believe that Hagrid would not kill anyone intentionally.
Now all the evidence points to Hagrid.
Do I really have to report Hagrid again
Harry really couldn't do such a thing, Hagrid was his good friend.
Should I go talk to Hagrid about this
No, it's not possible!
He decided not to say anything to Hagrid.
Now Harry couldn't wait to talk about this with his two friends, otherwise he was worried that he would go crazy.
