Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 580: Experimental diary
It has been a week since Colin Creevey was attacked.
Everyone finally stopped being forgetful, especially wizards born in Muggle families, who were very careful about matters related to their own lives, for fear that they would become the next Colin Creevey.
Of course, there are always exceptions.
Albert has been busy lately and is preparing to make his first contact with Tom Riddle's diary. Because of Quirrell's previous experience, Albert did not dare to be arrogant enough to think that he could control everything.
Querrell completely underestimated Voldemort back then, thinking he could control him, and that's how he ended up.
Albert didn't dare to underestimate Voldemort at all, even if Tom in the diary was just a young wizard.
After he was fully prepared, Albert took the box containing Tom Riddle out of the Room of Requirement and studied it.
At this moment, Albert is preparing for the research. He will not let Riddle know his true face. God knows if he can perceive the specific situation outside the diary.
After all, at the end of the novel, Riddle ran out of his diary.
Albert threw the Lockhart hair he had collected earlier into a small cup of the syrupy potion. The hair hissed and bubbled as soon as it touched the potion.
After a few seconds, the potion turns as dark as Lockhart's hair.
"I wish this thing tasted better." Albert muttered. Although he didn't have any expectations for this, he still drank all the compound medicine in the cup in one breath.
The taste of the compound potion is indescribable, a bit like overcooked cabbage that makes Albert want to gag.
"Damn!"
Albert coughed twice, and he could feel the effect of the compound potion taking effect.
[After the compound medicine entered the stomach, a terrible burning sensation quickly spread from the stomach to the whole body, reaching the fingers, toes and even all over the body.
I can feel my internal organs churning. If I hadn't taken the compound medicine, I even wondered if I would have suffered from some serious disease and could have died on the spot at any time.
Suggestion: People with serious illnesses are best not to use compound medicines, so as not to get sick during the course of taking them. ]
Albert's consciousness is still tough, at least after taking the compound medicine, he can control the quill next to him to record his feelings after taking the compound medicine in the diary.
Albert stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked up at himself in the mirror. Because of the effect of the potion, he was gasping for breath. His facial features were wriggling and deforming like hot wax, looking extremely strange and infiltrating.
[It was a horrible feeling, as if the skin all over my body was melting like hot wax. ]
I watched helplessly as my hands started to grow bigger, my fingers became thicker, and my whole body swelled up due to the effects of the medicine.
Fortunately, Albert had put on a new robe for himself in advance, so he didn't break his clothes due to the deformation of the compound potion.
The transformation lasts only a few seconds, and it comes and goes quickly.
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, it is no longer Albert, but Lockhart, who is gasping for breath.
Everything stopped.
"I really don't know how little Claude has been taking compound medicine for more than half a year." Albert took a deep breath and looked at his current body, still not used to it.
"Sure enough, a wizard's endurance is not an ordinary pervert." He muttered, and after tidying up his clothes a little, he began to look up the records of taking the compound potion just now, and wrote some personal experiences in it.
After Albert finished writing, he walked to the box that was placed in the diary. It was a box made of dragon leather, which could well isolate magic.
There is also a wooden box in the dragon leather box, which is made of a law-protecting tree. Albert has applied a strong protective magic on it, which can effectively isolate black magic, and even a spying device cannot detect it. There are traces of black magic.
As for whether these protections can effectively block the penetration of Horcruxes, Albert actually doesn't know, but even with these protections, he wouldn't want to carry Horcruxes on his body.
The third floor is a box made by Nicole Lemay. After Albert opened the box, he used the magic control glove to take the diary out of the metal box.
Of course he wouldn't touch the Horcrux directly with his hands. Even if he brought himself dragon leather gloves, Albert didn't want to touch the Horcrux directly to avoid being affected by the Horcrux.
Although doing so should prevent him from being controlled by Horcruxes, Albert still doesn't want to take the risk.
Once Tom Riddle's diary was placed on the table, Albert pulled out various black magic detectors that house-elves had purchased.
The first is the looking glass, a black magic detector that looks like a glass spinning top. It didn't light up and spin when Albert put it next to the diary, which means there are no suspicious people around.
[The looking glass does not respond to the Horcrux. ]
A quill pen writes this sentence in a journal.
[Sure enough, Tom Riddle's Horcrux can't be counted as a human being, so the looking glass didn't respond, which also verifies why the Tragedy Charm didn't respond to Tom. ]
Next, Albert took another slender gold rod detective and poked it on Tom's diary. The honesty detector did not touch the diary, and it had a certain attraction, and the tip emitted a weak of light.
[The honesty detector responded, proving that the diary was indeed enchanted. ]
And then there's the spy. Unlike the honest detectors, which detect hidden charms and hidden magic objects, the spy is an auxiliary tool used by the Ministry of Magic to detect black magic items whenever the spy touches black magic. item, it will immediately sound a buzzing alarm.
[The detective responds, proving that the diary is indeed a black magic item. ]
[Tom's diary has been routinely tested, and it is currently unknown whether Tom Riddle in the diary can spy on the outside world. ]
At the end of the novel, Riddle is so powerful that he can appear outside the diary, and he can even use a wand like an entity. He doesn't know what the current situation of Riddle in the diary is, but he has to guard against it.
Next, he starts dripping ink onto the diary, and the ink shines brightly on the diary for a second, then disappears without a trace as if sucked into the paper.
Albert was also anxious to write on the diary, but continued to drip water on the page.
Only, this time it was ordinary water droplets, and the water droplets were not absorbed by the diary, but wet the diary.
[The fact that Riddle's diary is wet with water does that mean it can be ignited by flames? ]
Albert began to try to control the glove to tear a page from the diary, but failed, and even using the cutting spell at the end could not damage the diary.
Sure enough ~IndoMTL.com~ As he remembered, the Horcrux was protected by strong magic and would not be destroyed at will.
But...why, the diary gets wet with water?
Is this unreasonable?
[Whether you can soak the diary and tear off the pages of the diary]
After thinking about it, Albert wrote the idea down, ready to test it another day.
He now has a page of his diary exposed, looking like a prisoner ready to be decapitated.
"Burning flames."
Albert raised his wand and attempted to burn it on that page, the flames blazing, but quickly extinguished again, causing no damage to the diary.
Next, I tried it with a normal flame, but it didn't work.
【Fire cannot damage Horcruxes. (You can consider fiery fire.)]
After a simple test, there is still no sign of Tom Riddle showing up.
[Maybe, consider using "throw the diary into the cesspool as a threat" to see if you can force him out. ]
" he wrote in his experimental diary, but the line was quickly used up, "Forget it, after all, I will try to conduct communication research on Tom next, and it will be bad if it stinks. . "
"Hello, Tom."
The quill wrote as Albert intended.
This line of text flickered on the paper and was sucked in, leaving no trace.
However, the diary shows no other response.
"Hey! Has this already alerted me?" Albert narrowed his eyes and said, "That's not acceptable."
