Lucius also saw John and others walking out of the fireplace.

He was stunned for a moment and then said:

"Why did you come back so suddenly?"

Upon hearing this, Draco began to tell Lucius about everything they had encountered at Parkinson's Mansion.

After listening, Lucius and Narcissa's expressions became ugly.

"We have actually received news that the ministry has stepped up searches, but we still want to thank you, John. Thank you for coming back to inform us of the news, and thank you for helping the Parkinson family."

Lucius said to John, and then complained, "Oh! The Parkinson family was completely liquidated more than ten years ago. Now everyone in the magic world knows that only orphans and widows are left in the Parkinson family.

mother.

I really didn’t expect that the Ministry of Magic would even want to search their home after things have become like this.”

John remained unmoved, his eyes locked on the notebook in Dobby's hand.

From the notebook, he sensed a familiar and powerful magic power.

After carefully sensing it for a while, John finally determined the identity of the notebook - the original most critical prop of the second grade, the [Tom Riddle's Diary] that sealed the fragments of Voldemort's soul!

'So, the magic power contained in that thing is so strong, can it be eaten?'

John thought so and swallowed subconsciously.

At the same time, Lucius and others also discovered John's anomaly and came over to ask:

"John, what's wrong with you?"

John came back to his senses, pointed at the diary and said:

"Mr. Malfoy, can you lend me that notebook?"

Lucius looked puzzled and looked in the direction John pointed.

And when his eyes fell on the diary, his expression instantly became extremely terrifying!

"No! Absolutely not!"

Lucius said loudly.

This startled a few people nearby.

John wasn't too surprised.

This diary was something that Voldemort placed specially in the Malfoy house. Regardless of various concerns, Lucius was unlikely to hand it over to him.

"It was my fault, Mr. Malfoy."

John nodded and said.

After that, before Lucius could respond, Draco beside him said with a dissatisfied look on his face:

"Dad! Isn't it just a notebook? Why are you hiding it so tightly? You can't even show it to John."

Lucius paid no attention to his unfortunate son.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His eyes moved back and forth between the diary and John. After a while, he asked as if he had made up his mind:

"Yo... John, do you know the origin and function of this notebook?"

"I'm just very interested in this kind of notes recently." Faced with Lucius's probing, John shook his head simply and said, "As you know, many ancient notes contain records about his previous term.

The master’s cultivation and research experience. This is especially true for a notebook like this that you have collected, so I ask for it from you.

But it seems that the things recorded in this notebook are all things that are not suitable for children, right?

For the sake of my physical and mental health, that's why you reject me."

"Yeah, yeah, John, that's great of you to understand!"

Lucius walked down the steps given by John.

As a result, Narcissa stabbed her in the elbow as soon as she finished speaking.

Only then did he realize, why is this inappropriate for children?

Are you being sarcastic in front of Draco and saying that I'm having sex?

Also, why does this weird rhetoric sound like Severus?

Lucius wanted to refute, but John's words were so perfect that all his excuses sounded like "There is no three hundred taels of silver here."

Helpless, he could only smile awkwardly and say a few more perfunctory words, and then hurriedly asked Draco, John and others to eat, wash up, and rest early.

He continued to stare at the house elves, sifting through and carrying various prohibited magic items.

What Lucius didn't notice was that just before leaving the living room, John took one last look at the diary.

And the moment John's eyes fell on the diary, the [Tom Riddle's Diary] trembled slightly for no reason.

…

At night, the entire Malfoy Manor fell into darkness and silence.

Under the Disillusionment Charm, John returned to the living room again with his whole body almost transparent.

He walked in silence, and after wandering around the living room, he reached out and grabbed a snake-shaped metal crest on the top of the fireplace.

As the metal crest was broken and rotated, a stone wall not far away suddenly flipped over, revealing a dark stone path.

John entered the stone path and walked dozens of meters down before arriving at an underground secret room.

There is no light or other passages in this secret room. There are about a dozen huge shelves filled with all kinds of dangerous and forbidden magic items.

Feeling the familiar fluctuation of magic power, John stopped in front of a shelf and picked up the [Tom Riddle's Diary].

If Lucius doesn't show it to him, then he will see it himself.

Anyway, the security level of Malfoy Manor is much lower than that of Hogwarts, and Lucius did not avoid John when carrying prohibited magic items.

Of course, this is a bit rude, after all, the Malfoy family is still very good to him.

But there is really one thing that John is eager to verify, and that is - can [Tom Riddle's Diary] be eaten?

The magic power hidden in Voldemort's soul is too powerful.

Although it doesn't taste very good, if it can be eaten, it can also bring a huge improvement in John's magic talent.

And according to what John perceives, the amount of improvement will not be worse than that of the Philosopher's Stone!

"call--"

John took a deep breath and turned the page.

As far as the eye can see, everything is blank.

Only on the first page was a name written in illegible ink: T. M. Riddle.

The next moment, another string of brand-new words slowly emerged.

【Hello.】

'Huh? You eagerly greet me when we first meet? This seems to be inconsistent with Tom Riddle's cautious personality.'

John thought in his mind, without any intention of responding to the other party, but tried to tear the page.

This attempt is doomed to fail.

Because the Horcrux is protected by powerful black magic, it cannot be damaged by ordinary methods.

【?】

John still ignored it, and then directly stuffed a blank page into his mouth.

As he chewed, the page protected by powerful black magic was chewed to pieces in an instant, and turned into a stream of pure magic power that poured into John's second magic pool!

Then, it was like coal went into the fireplace.

During the violent burning, the magic power turned into another kind of pure power, which suddenly improved John's magic talent by a large margin!

This is the soul power from Voldemort!

It's slightly weaker than the Voldemort under the trap door, but it tastes better and is more energetic!

This also means that this thing is edible!

After eating a whole piece of paper, John's eyes shone with greed.

【Are you eating me?! Why?? Why?? Why?? Please don’t!

Don't do that!

Please do not……】

Large strings of characters are appearing crazily on the white paper.

The handwriting that changed from regular to sloppy, as well as the doubled ‘!’ and ‘?’ all showed the panic in Tom Riddle’s heart at this moment.

But at this time, John suppressed his inner appetite, closed the diary and put it back where it was.

If the diary was taken away now, the Malfoy family would go crazy.
