"Are you really planning to give him the diary?" Betty looked like you were seeking death.
"I really can only give it to him." Ivy yawned. "Tom has become wary of me, and he probably won't reveal any useful information to me anymore. No matter how much I say, it will only make him feel disgusted and has no real meaning."
."
"You can't even ask, Harry and the others can do it? Tom is not stupid, he must know that you are asking for Harry. And if you give the diary to Harry, isn't it the same as sending it back to Gryffindor?
Ginny took the initiative to throw away the diary with great difficulty, so she is not afraid of being controlled again?"
"You don't have to worry about Tom's problem. And it's not all bad for the diary to return to Gryffindor. First of all, it doesn't know that Ginny has been exposed, and the most important thing for it is to get it back into Ginny's hands."
"What if it changes to someone else?"
"Impossible, there's not enough time. It knows me very well. It should have gotten the information from Ginny. The news that the mandrake is about to mature is probably not going away. It also knows that time is running out. With Ginny's
Judging from whether it can still get rid of control, its abilities are only average and there is no time to develop others."
"Okay, I think you're right, go on."
"Well. If it wants to get in touch with Ginny, it has to stay with Harry. So whether it's true or not, he has to reveal enough inside information to gain Harry's trust. So, it's up to Harry to trick him out.
."
“But what good is it if it’s fake news?”
"Whether it's true or not, there is always a direction. Besides, we don't know everything. We can also judge whether the news is true or false." Ivy took the trouble to answer various questions for Betty.
"Even if the clues about the heir are solved, what about Ginny?" Betty asked again
“Alas——” Hearing this, Ivey sighed deeply.
"I'll leave this question to Harry." He rubbed his brows, feeling very tired.
"He is obsessed with getting into the secret room, so the risk will naturally be borne by him." After a pause, he added, "We don't want to be bad people, but we can't always be good people. I will discuss these sharp questions with Harry first."
They made it clear that we don't care what they decide."
Hearing this, Betty didn't ask any more questions, and the lounge became quiet.
Until Betty drinks the coffee in her hand
"Let's see if it replies?" Betty stood up and stretched.
Ivey opened the diary and said, "Well, I'm back. It seems that I have already figured out how to compile it."
"Let me see." Betty squeezed over and looked at the diary.
"I don't trust wizards from pure-blood families" appeared on the page of the book.
"Did you see that the reputation of pure blood is so bad?" Looking at the handwriting that appeared, Ivey joked.
"Listen to this, it's either a mixed-race or a Muggle." Betty on the side understood clearly.
"It's not necessarily true or false." Ivey said not to think too much. Then he wrote, "Don't be so hostile. Are you a Muggle wizard?"
"My father is a Muggle"
Well, there is another truth.
"It's strange. It seems that most of them are male Muggles that witches and witches find. It's rarely the other way around. The same goes for your grandpa," Betty said with a smile.
"This is normal. Men are responsible for the continuation of the family. Although most wizards will not discriminate against Muggles, for the sake of the genetic excellence of future generations, female wizards are definitely the best choice." While explaining, Ivy didn't have anything on his hands.
stop.
"My mother is also of mixed race, so the problems you are worried about will not occur to me. By the way, I want to ask, what was your predecessor's impression of me?"
"..." No response
"Can you tell me who it is?"
"..."
"Starting to pretend to be deaf and dumb again." Seeing no movement, Betty stood up and refilled a cup of coffee. She turned around with the kettle in hand and asked, "Do you want more?"
Ivy waved his hand
After sitting back, I saw the constipated expression on his face and smiled, "Why, didn't you look like you were determined to eat it before?"
"Huh! This guy has something up his sleeve. He's afraid that I'll find out the flaw, so he doesn't want to say a word." Ivey curled his lips helplessly, "I thought there was nothing I could do about it."
He wrote, "If you don't want to say anything, there is no need to stay. I will throw you under the cliff and pray that I can be picked up."
After finishing writing, Ivey closed the diary, got up and went upstairs to "go back to sleep."
As soon as they went up the stairs, the diary suddenly vibrated violently like a mobile phone. The two looked at each other, sat back on the sofa and opened the diary.
"What do you want to know?"
"This guy is so mean!" Ivy's teeth itched with hatred. "Say no, you have to be hard."
"Okay, hurry up and ask." Betty looked at him a little funny.
"Name, you know who I'm asking about"
"Colin Creevey"
After the "Haha" font appeared, Ivey sneered.
"Colin?" A small figure holding a camera flashed in Betty's mind. "The little Gryffindor photographer? The one who took a photo of us two?"
"Uh-huh," Ivey responded, and then wrote
"Why did he throw you away?"
"I don't know who threw me. Colin hasn't communicated with me for a long time."
"This guy knows a lot of things. Colin has been petrified, and we can't verify it for the time being." Betty also said sarcastically.
"Hogwarts hasn't been peaceful lately, did you know?" he continued.
"I know. The secret room has been opened again. Colin told me. I also reminded him to be careful."
"According to my investigation, the secret room was opened once fifty years ago, right?"
"Yes, and I know the situation, but I can't tell you."
"Why?"
"As I said before, I don't believe you."
"Then have you told Colin?"
"Said something"
"You don't believe me, but you believe Colin"
"He is a Muggle wizard, and most importantly - he is a Gryffindor."
Seeing these slightly suggestive words, Ivey smiled proudly. He nudged Betty with his elbow and said, "I'm not wrong, the purpose is exposed."
"Okay, okay! I guess your guess is accurate." Betty said in a long voice, like coaxing a child.
"We need to know relevant information in order to solve this matter. How can you be willing to help?"
"Harry Potter is Colin's idol. I have heard a lot about his deeds."
"Hey, it's all starting to become clear." The content that emerged made Betty's eyes light up.
"Meow~" Sensing the owner's emotions, Best, who had been sleeping on the back of the sofa, jumped on the diary and scratched it curiously with his little paws.
"Go, go, go to sleep." Ivy pushed it aside and "added to the chaos~"
Betty reached out and picked up the cat. "Do you still need to ask? Go to sleep?"
Ivey nodded and wrote the last sentence, "I will hand it over to Harry. I hope you won't let us down. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Next day restaurant
"Crack!"
Harry was busy fighting with the food on the table, when suddenly a black notebook fell in front of his eyes. He raised his head, and the figures of Ivy and I came into view.
"Here you are, have you finished studying the diary?" He put down his knife and fork and picked up the book.
"How should I say, part of it?" They sat down next to Hermione.
"Have you figured out - um - what - happened?" Ron said vaguely, holding a piece of bread in his mouth and walking towards Harry.
"Can you swallow what's in your mouth before you speak?" Hermione frowned and looked at him.
"Mind your own business." Ron obviously didn't like this. He took a big bite of bread as a demonstration and shouted while chewing.
Ivy and Betty both ate their breakfast with peace of mind, ignoring the couple's charade. This kind of plot happens almost every day. Although Ivy has a wife, he can't help but be surrounded by the sour smell every day.
Fortunately, there were more important things that needed their attention. After a few words, they turned their attention to the diary.
flipped through two pages
"No change." Ron couldn't stop talking. He raised his head in confusion.
"What changes do you expect? You can understand this diary as a carrier, and Tom Riddle has attached his consciousness to it." Ivey also said while eating, but his voice was clearer.
"Wow - cool~" Ron reached out and touched it as if he had discovered a new world.
"But how do we communicate with him? Psychic?" Hermione asked
"Of course the diary is written in language," Ivy said matter-of-factly, stuffing a mouthful of ham into his mouth.
"Can you communicate with him by writing on paper?" Harry asked quickly.
"Well, just write down what you want to say."
"What didn't you ask?"
"No. But he knows about the secret room, but he just doesn't want to tell me."
"Weird guy," Ron muttered.
"Yes, he wants to see you by name." Ivy looked at Harry
"Me?" Harry's eyes widened in surprise.
"Are you surprised?" Ivy smiled. "Don't worry, I'll tell you from the beginning."
...
After listening to his narration, everyone fell into silence for a long time.
"Since this diary is the culprit, is it too risky for us to still hold it? Just give it to Dumbledore directly," Hermione said.
"I don't care, if Harry agrees" Ivy shrugged casually
His eyes instantly focused on Harry. Hermione's suggestion was undoubtedly the most appropriate, now it was up to him to choose.
Harry slowly raised his head and met everyone's gaze, "Will it be dangerous if I keep it?"
"There are definitely risks anyway. But in principle, as long as the diary is no longer obtained by Ginny, there will be no problem." Ivy replied
Harry thought for a while and made a decision, "Then let's keep it first."
"Harry!" Hermione clearly disagreed.
"I will keep the diary with me at all times and will never let Ginny get her hands on it."
"But why take the risk? As long as we wait for time, we are sure to win. What if you are negligent and Ginny gets the diary and releases the basilisk to kill?" Hermione didn't understand Harry's mind at all.
loop
"I want to know the truth." Harry's voice was a little low. The choice of putting Ginny at risk was not as easy as he said. "Tom Riddle, I always feel that this name is very familiar. It must have something to do with me."
At this point, it was hard for Hermione to refute, so everyone remained silent.
"Brother" Ron suddenly hugged Harry, "I will help you read this book to death"
This sentence is equivalent to acknowledging Harry's approach
"You guys are too messy -" Hermione's tone was slightly loose, but still very forced. She secretly pinched Betty's forearm, and at the same time kept gesturing to Harry's position with her eyes.
