Chapter 624： Blank diary (2/2)
Ron moved his head over, looked at the only handwriting in the diary and said, ”Tom Riddle won the Special Contribution Award to the school fifty years ago.”
”How did you know?” Harry was curious how Ron knew the news.
”Remember the last time I went to Filch's confinement. At that time, he asked me to wipe the items in the prize showroom.” Ron said annoyedly after recalling the incident. ”I hiccuped that day. I got the slug on it, and it took a long time to wipe it off. If you have a similar experience, you will remember his name.”
”Tom didn't write a single word. This is very abnormal.” Harry ignored Ron's complaint and said to himself: ”You should have noticed that there are no traces of torn on the diary. It is usually common to buy a diary. Write something on it.”
”Something is not normal. Maybe this is a Christmas gift that Riddle received, and he happened to dislike this gift, so he threw it aside and didn't use it anymore.”
”If Riddle doesn't care, the diary won't exist in fifty years. It's not parchment.” Harry thought it wasn't that simple. ”And Riddle must be a Muggle wizard.”
”Why do you say that.”
Ron felt he couldn't keep up with Harry's thinking.
”Only a Muggle wizard will buy a diary on Muggle Street.” Harry turned the diary to the back cover and let Ron look at the London Vauxhall Road printed on it.
Ron had to admit that Harry made a lot of sense. Wizards don't usually go shopping in Muggle streets. In fact, his father still didn't understand the Muggle currency system, let alone other wizards.
”There's another thing I care about.” At this moment, Harry seemed to be possessed by Hermione, muttering his doubts to himself, ”Why does anyone want to throw it away? Isn't it unusual? I always think What secrets are hidden in this diary.”
After Hermione came back from the library, Harry showed her Tom Riddle's diary and told her how he found the diary.
”Your suspicion is correct. There may be some secrets hidden in this diary.” Hermione took the diary, looked at the date carefully, and said, ”The fifty-year diary suddenly appeared, don't you think it's a coincidence?”
”What's such a coincidence?” Ron's face was full of confusion and confusion, UU reading www.uukanshu. ”Could it be that you still expect the secret to open the secret room hidden in this diary?”
”I remember you told me that Malfoy said that the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago.” Hermione ignored Ron's words and continued to say her own analysis. ”At that time, Tom Riddle won Hogwar. Don’t you think it’s a coincidence for the Special Contribution Award of Cinz?”
”What special contribution award?”
”It should be said that it is a special contribution award to the school.” Ron explained: ”I remember that Albert also won such an award, as if he won this award for saving Fred and George.”
Harry was a little confused, apparently didn't understand Ron.
”It seems that in the first grade, Fred and George entered the forbidden forest, and they ran into trouble. In the end, Albert discovered that they were missing and broke into the forbidden forest alone in the middle of the night to bring them out.”
”Do you think Riddle won the prize for grabbing the heir of Slytherin?” Hermione reached into her schoolbag and took out a bright red eraser. ”This is a visible eraser. I'm in Diagon Alley. I got it.”
Hermione noticed that Harry and Ron were both looking at herself, and she explained, ”You should know that if someone writes a diary and doesn’t want people to know the contents, they usually use invisible ink or invisible magic to change the writing on it. Hide it.”
After speaking, Hermione wiped the page vigorously, but nothing appeared.
Not discouraged, Hermione drew out her wand and tapped her diary three times, and said, ”Hurry up!”
Still no response.
”It seems that this diary can't tell us everything it knows.” Ron felt that Harry and Hermione were in vain. This is an ordinary diary.
