Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 625: Mysterious Tom Riddle
Although Ron is adamant that what Harry found was just an ordinary diary that had been thrown away, Harry felt that there might be some secrets hidden in the diary that originally belonged to Tom Riddle.
The timing and manner in which it appeared made Harry feel wrong, and it just so happened to be the diary from fifty years ago, it's hard not to associate the diary with the Chamber of Secrets events from fifty years ago.
The next day, during the lunch break, Harry, Ron and Hermione went to the prize room on the fourth floor of the castle.
Hermione found Tom Riddle's polished gold medal in the corner showcase.
Having said that, it's half Ron's credit for the trophies and medals being so shiny here.
Harry didn't find details on the reason for the Gold Medal awarded to Tom Riddle.
Actually, in the prize showroom, the so-called Special Contribution Awards are not given in detail, and the number of students who can receive Special Contribution Awards is very rare.
"Perhaps, like Albert, Riddle once saved a certain student and received an award from the school." Ron didn't want to come to the prize showroom. He had watched the last time he was locked up by Filch. Tired of the trophies and medals here.
What he didn't know was that what he had learned was actually a rhetoric that Albert used to perfunctory the Weasley twins. When Fred and George said the same, the other students naturally believed it.
"The person who opened the secret room last time was expelled from the school 50 years ago." Hermione still insisted on her own point of view, "Tom Riddle also won the special contribution award to the school 50 years ago, you don't Do you think it's a coincidence that Tom's diary suddenly appeared?"
"Last time, who actually opened the Chamber of Secrets?" Harry felt this was important. Perhaps, this time it was opened by the descendants of the man fifty years ago.
"I don't know, but I don't think it has much to do with it." Hermione shook her head and said, "Otherwise, Professor Dumbledore would have been eyeing the other party and successfully found the murderer."
Before leaving the prize room, the trio had something to gain. They found Tom Riddle's name on an old Merit Medal and a list of former Boys Student Council presidents.
"I feel like Tom Riddle is a copy of Percy." Ron couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust in his heart, "First in homework, becoming a prefect, president of the Boys Student Council, with the best grades for his age Graduated from school."
"That's not a bad thing, is it?" Hermione frowned, she didn't like Ron's statement, because that was Hermione's hope, and who wouldn't want to graduate school with honors?
"You can ask Albert, maybe he's heard of Tom Riddle." Ron skipped the subject, but said in a quirky tone, "You know, he's got a lot of old friends, Maybe one of them is named Tom."
Harry stopped Hermione, who was trying to say something, knowing that the last time he came here to wipe the trophy, Ron had done a lot of damage.
Also, Ron obviously didn't want to come here, so the three quickly left.
"Maybe, we can get some useful information from the professor." Harry suggested the solution he had just thought of.
"No Harry, I don't think anyone in the school except Professor Dumbledore taught at the school fifty years ago." Hermione clearly pointed out the problem with Harry's plan, "Of course, Ben Mr. Smith may know, but it's best not to expect him to answer your questions."
"I also don't think Mr. Binns remembers such a person fifty years ago." Ron agreed with Hermione, not forgetting that their ghost teacher sometimes got the name wrong, "Actually, , I still think I should go to Albert. He knows a lot of old wizards and is good at divination. If you really want to get information on Tom Riddle, I am afraid there is no one better than him. Besides, I Remembering that he was also checking the Chamber of Secrets, maybe, we can tell Albert that Tom Riddle knew who actually opened the Chamber of Secrets in Slytherin fifty years ago."
Even Harry felt that Ron's statement was a bit excessive. If the divination really worked, Albert might have found the entrance to the Slytherin Chamber.
As for the news about Tom, it's even more nonsense to ask his wizard. It's better to go to Dumbledore, or... you can try to ask the ghost in the school.
"We can try to ask Nick, who is almost headless, for news. Maybe Nick knows who was fired back then." Harry immediately shared his thoughts with the two friends. As the three hurried away, trying to find Nick, who had barely listened, they met Albert on the promenade near the library on the fifth floor.
Hermione stopped and looked at Albert's back. After a moment of hesitation, she chased after him and stopped Albert who was going to the library.
Albert looked at Hermione and asked, "Is something wrong?"
With Isobel's curious eyes, Hermione told Albert in detail that Harry had picked up Tom Riddle's diary, and asked him about Tom Riddle.
Albert was satisfied to hear that things were going according to his plan, but didn't change the expression on his face too much.
"This does sound suspicious."
Albert agreed with Hermione and said that he would help investigate Tom Riddle when he had time~IndoMTL.com~ Hermione thanked her and turned away in a hurry.
"She seems to trust you."
"That's because I've always been reliable." Albert gradually restrained the smile on his face and said seriously, "She knew that I was investigating the secret room and knew that I would be interested in this matter, so she Come to me and hope I can unravel the secret."
"It is not difficult to see that this Miss Granger still likes and admires you very much." Isobel looked at Albert with a half-smile, "Such a girl, as long as you express your love for her, she must be very I'd love to be your girlfriend."
"Cough!"
Albert knew that Isobel was making fun of himself, so he quickly coughed and signaled that the other party should stop, so as not to be heard and cause unnecessary misunderstanding.
Gossip, sometimes awesome!
"Actually, I don't approve of you taking risks." Isobel said in a low voice after entering the library, "I always feel that the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets is not that simple. You should protect yourself now. Wait until Professor Dumbledore catches the culprit and destroys the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets."
"I'll protect myself," Albert assured.
"I just want to remind you that you are not alone now." Isobel looked into Albert's eyes and said seriously, "Don't do anything, just do it, and you should consider the results before doing it. "
Of course Albert knew what Isobel meant, and couldn't help but sighed inwardly. Is this the price of growth?
"You know, I treasure my own life very much." After speaking, he shut up, Albert didn't want to set up a flag for himself.
