Chapter 625： Mysterious Tom Riddle (1/2)
Although Ron insisted that what Harry had picked up was an ordinary diary that was thrown away, Harry felt that there might be some secrets hidden in the diary that originally belonged to Tom Riddle.
The timing and way of its appearance made Harry feel wrong, and it happened to be the diary from fifty years ago. It is really difficult for people not to associate the diary with the secret room event fifty years ago.
The next day, while resting at noon, Harry, Ron and Hermione went to the prize showroom on the fourth floor of the castle together.
In the showcase in the corner, Hermione found Tom Riddle's polished golden medal.
Having said that, the trophies and medals here are so bright, and half of them are due to Ron.
Harry did not find a detailed explanation of the reason for the golden medal awarded to Tom Riddle.
In fact, in the prize showroom, the so-called special contribution awards do not specify the reasons for the awards, and the number of students who can receive the special contribution awards is very rare.
”Maybe Riddle, like Albert, once saved a certain student and won the school's award.” Ron didn't want to come to the prize showroom. After being confined by Filch last time, he was tired of seeing it. Trophies and medals.
What he didn't know was that what he had learned was actually what Albert used to perfuse the Weasley twins. When Fred and George said the same, other students naturally believed it.
”The person who opened the secret room last time was expelled from the school fifty years ago.” Hermione still insisted on her point of view. ”Tom Riddle also won the Special Contribution Award to the school fifty years ago. Don’t you think Tom’s Is it a coincidence that the diary suddenly appeared?”
”Last time, who opened the secret room?” Harry thought it was important. Perhaps this time it was opened by the descendants of that person fifty years ago.
”I don't know, but I think it shouldn't be a big deal.” Hermione shook her head and said, ”Otherwise, Professor Dumbledore would have been eyeing each other long ago and had successfully found the murderer.”
Before leaving the prize showroom, the three of them had something to gain. They found Tom Riddle's name on an old merit medal and a list of the former chairman of the boy student union.
”It feels like Tom Riddle is like a copy of Percy.” Ron couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust. ”The first in the field, he became the prefect and the chairman of the boy student union, and graduated from school with the best grades .”
”It's not a bad thing, is it?” Hermione frowned. She didn't like Ron's statement, because that was Hermione's hope. Who wouldn't want to graduate from school with honors?
”You can ask Albert, maybe he has heard of Tom Riddle.” Ron did not answer the topic, but said in a weird tone, ”You know, he has many old friends, maybe one of them Someone is named Tom.”
Harry stopped Hermione who wanted to say something. He knew he had done a lot of harm to Ron the last time he was here to wipe the trophy.
Moreover, Ron obviously didn't want to come here, so the three of them left soon.
”Maybe, we can get some useful information from the professor.” Harry proposed the method he had just thought of.
”No Harry, I think no one at the school except Professor Dumbledore taught in the school fifty years ago.” Hermione clearly pointed out the problem with Harry’s plan. ”Of course, Mr. Binns may I know, but it's better not to expect him to answer your questions.”
”I don't think Mr. Bins remembers that there was such a person fifty years ago.” Ron agreed with Hermione's point of view. He did not forget that their ghost teacher sometimes even got the name wrong. ”Actually, I still I think I should go to Albert. He knows many old wizards and is good at divination. If you really want to get information about Tom Riddle, I am afraid that no one is more suitable than him. And, I remember him too. Regarding the secret room, maybe we can tell Albert that Tom Riddle knew who opened the Slytherin's secret room fifty years ago.”
