The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 582 To be patient

Tom Riddle felt inexplicably irritable.

Last time, he controlled the basilisk through Ginny Weasley, attacked a mudblood at night, and successfully tricked Dumbledore and McGonagall.

In the end, on the way to the Room of Requirement, he was attacked from behind.

What made Tom Riddle even more upset was that he had no idea who the person who attacked him was.

The opponent was obviously prepared, and he grasped the timing well, so that he didn't even have time to react, and he was inexplicably caught.

Since Ginny Weasley invested a lot of energy in the diary and gradually opened his heart to him, Tom's power gradually became stronger, even strong enough to control Ginny Weasley, but he did not Thinking about it, the other party slapped him hard when he was the most proud.

After that time, no one wrote in the diary.

Tom Riddle has lost contact with the outside world directly, and can no longer sense the outside world and influence the outside world.

I don't know how long it took, and finally someone wrote something in the diary again.

Tom Riddle didn't know if this person was the guy who attacked him back then. What's worse was that this guy did a lot of strange things in front of his diary.

Then, try to communicate with him.

I'm Gilderoy Lockhart, Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the League Against the Dark Arts.

After reading this passage, Tom Riddle realized that the other party was most likely the guy who attacked him at that time.

Although Ginny Weasley also mentioned that Defense Against the Dark Arts was terrible, it was obvious that this guy was hiding himself on purpose.

Tom Riddle didn't notice Lockhart's presence near the diary. The other party was obviously far away from the diary, and he was always on guard against himself.

Although Tom Riddle was extremely annoyed, he believed that he could handle this guy, as long as the other party continued to communicate with him in the diary, he could handle him.

Before Tom could answer, the other party continued to write in the diary:
"I have tested it just now, this diary is a black magic item."

Tom Riddle understands people's hearts very well. He knows that the other party can't wait to communicate with him, so he is very patient to hang on to the other party's appetite.

I'm curious what kind of dark magic item this is, maybe...

Although he hadn't finished writing, Tom Riddle had already smelled a hint of threat from the other party's writing.

However, Tom Riddle didn't care, the other party made a stupid mistake, he shouldn't try to study this diary, let alone try to communicate with him.

Tom Riddle knew what these self-righteous guys were thinking, and he finally recovered after giving each other a while:

"Hi, Gilderoy Lockhart. My name is Tom Riddle. How did you find my diary?"

Tom Riddle wants to take the initiative. Only in this way can he control the direction of communication between the two parties and seduce the other party...

However, Tom Riddle never thought that what he was facing was not an ordinary opponent at all.

Albert had just passed through the mirror and saw the words appearing and disappearing quickly on the diary. He immediately realized that Tom Riddle was testing himself, and he was also trying to control the topic of communication between the two parties, so he immediately controlled the quill pen to The diary reads:
"Tom Riddle, I know who you are.

Students who received the Special Contribution Award 50 years ago, your medal is still in the Hogwarts showcase.

Can you tell me what you are now? "

To be honest, Tom was stunned at this moment. He didn't expect that guy named Gilderoy Lockhart to think so fast.

In other words, the other party only planned to ask questions from the beginning, and did not intend to answer him.

Should I just ignore the other person?

Tom Riddle kept saying to himself that he needed to be patient, Gilderoy Lockhart was very good at dealing with dark wizards after all, and it was normal to be wary of diaries.

After all, Gilderoy Lockhart believed that the diary was a dark magic item from the very beginning, and he should find a way to make the other party relax and dispel suspicion.

"Me? Of course I am Tom Riddle. This is just a diary. At that time, I tried to record my past in a more permanent way than ink. You can also think that this is just a memory."

Tom Riddle answered Gilderoy Lockhart's question carefully, or rather answered Albert's question.

"You're lying, the diary is a dark magic item, I just tested it with a spy."

The other party answered quickly, but it made Tom Riddle feel a stomachache. (Oh, by the way, he has no stomach now.)
At this moment, Tom was even more convinced that this guy had attacked him.

So, he must have realized that the Diary was able to control Ginny Weasley in some special way, and the other party was trying to communicate with him to find out.

However, since the other party pretended not to know and came to communicate with him, it was an opportunity for Tom Riddle.

"There are always some people who don't want the past to be known, so I use a diary to record these."

No matter what the other party thinks, Tom Riddle has already planned to continue to pretend until the other party tears away the hypocrisy first.

"About the Chamber of Secrets?"

Before Tom Riddle could answer, he continued writing:

"So, you won the Special Contribution Award, and you actually captured the heir of Slytherin?
And your so-called 'do not want the past to be known' refers to who is the heir of Slytherin, where is the chamber of secrets, how to open it, and what kind of monster is locked inside?"

Tom Riddle felt very uncomfortable. He felt that he was being led by the nose by Gilderoy Lockhart, but he still suppressed his anxiety and replied patiently:
"You guessed it right. When I was in fifth grade, the Chamber of Secrets was opened and the monster attacked several students and killed one.

In the end, I caught the man who opened the chamber, he was expelled, but the monster was alive, and the man who had the power to release it, was not locked up.

The Special Contribution Award is the hush money given to me by the principal, Professor Dippet, for not allowing me to tell the truth. He warned me not to speak nonsense, so I recorded the truth in my diary. "

"You mean Hagrid who caught the prisoner who opened the chamber of secrets, right? He told me himself that you caught him and slandered him as a prisoner."

Tom Riddle suddenly fell silent. He already realized that he was being teased by the other party. From the very beginning, the other party had been teasing him. This was definitely the guy who attacked him.

Tom Riddle is already very well-bred without directly swearing.

Ok!

If it wasn't for his inability to get out of the diary, the young Voldemort would have drawn out his wand and rewarded that damn Gilderoy Lockhart with Avada Kedavra.
