Chapter 803 Top Secret Diary and Future

Late at night, Hogwarts Castle is quietly hidden under the shadow of thick clouds.

In the Room of Requirement deep in the castle, Draco Malfoy's confused and empty eyes gradually regained their clarity.

As Lockhart left, at some point, a thick white mist appeared around Draco, and the surrounding area was extremely quiet. Apart from his own increasingly nervous and rapid heartbeat, there was no other sound.

In the fog, some faint light from nowhere illuminated the old square table about half a meter in front of him.

A small, thin diary with a tattered cover lay quietly on it.

[SCP-17-03: Tom Riddle’s Diary]

Due to the information revealed during the public trial of Peter Pettigrew some time ago, everyone now knows the devil behind the name "TM Riddle", a crazy dark wizard who once hovered over the British wizarding world and caused panic.

At the same time, he was also the culprit who... almost destroyed his parents' lives.

Draco Malfoy stared at the diary for a few seconds, frowning slightly and shaking his swollen head.

The memory that appeared in his mind out of thin air was still washing over his mind, but with Professor Lockhart's superb magic skills, it did not affect his original normal thinking, and was more like a beautiful dream.

"Sister..." Draco took a deep breath and murmured.

Although he knew that those were just illusory memories, the real voice, the breath, the exquisite face that he hid deep in his heart and dared not peep, and those bets full of loopholes, gave him courage like a tide.

Immediately afterwards, he pulled up his chair and sat down, opening the notebook in front of him - obviously, it was all blank pages.

"It starts with inking, introducing yourself, and activating the journal."

Draco Malfoy followed Elena's instructions and took out a bottle of ink and poured it on the diary.

If Elena remembers correctly, in the original book, after the notebook was penetrated by the basilisk's fangs, a large amount of ink spurted out.

Magic may be able to produce illusions and even real objects out of thin air, but if there is a certain material basis, then the consumption of permutation and combination will definitely be far lower than creation and derivation. For this magic notebook, ink is most likely its blood.

On the other hand, this is also the trace of magic that distinguishes this diary from ordinary notebooks.

Although it may not have been Tom Riddle's intention, just like most inventions, in order to protect his diary, young Tom accidentally created a magic that can automatically absorb stains - unless it is completely destroyed, otherwise

All common ink stains, blood stains, and oil stains will not leave any traces on it.

This also means that from the moment the ink is absorbed, the magic in this journal is also activated.

Draco Malfoy recalled the time points that Elena had mentioned while nervously staring at the diary stained by large ink stains, waiting for the first "magic default program" to run normally.

.

The ink flickered brightly on the paper for a few seconds, then seemed to be sucked into the paper and disappeared without a trace.

"Success! It did not detect any abnormalities and deliberately concealed its magical properties."

Draco excitedly shook his fist in his heart, filled the quill with ink, and wrote on the paper.

"I, Draco Malfoy, the son of Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black Malfoy, the grandson of Abraxas Malfoy, the only legal heir to the Malfoy family of 'Eternal Holy Purity'...

…”

Due to the lack of actual cases, Elena and others were unable to determine the "charging" principle of the diary.

However, according to some existing information, we can roughly know that "contact" and "writing" are obviously the two most important determining factors. This is also in line with the rare knowledge about the Pen Fairy and the Book Fairy in the Japanese magic world.

What they are testing now is whether the main channel for wizards' power to flow out is "writing" or "thinking".

Simply scribbling, or entering into a question and answer initiated by the other party, is at an inherent disadvantage in obtaining information. Therefore, the second instruction given by Elena to Malfoy is - to write in the diary.

Write the family tree silently in the book.

As the future heir of an ancient pure-blood wizarding family, Draco Malfoy has memorized the wizarding family tree since he was a child.

After a short period of memory activation, he was able to write out a lot of the family tree of the related pure-blood wizarding family, not to mention the family motto and family tree of the Malfoy family, and the four or five pages of diary paper were not available at all.

Next words.

Tom Riddle transformed the diary into a Horcrux, which means it is self-aware.

It was trivial, complicated, boring, logical, and lengthy enough. She really couldn't think of any other content that was more suitable to introduce herself than this, and at the same time, it could force the soul in the book to respond.

.

When faced with the family tree of his "old department", there are only two reasons why Tom Riddle did not respond.

First, simply writing can directly gain power. The purpose of all his conversations is to induce people to write.

Second, at the moment of contact, the soul in the diary can directly perform Legilimency, skipping all pre-processes.

"...Nicholas Malfoy, born in 1375 AD, main deeds..."

Draco Malfoy was carefully writing the family tree while quietly estimating the time in his mind.

The Malfoy family originated in the eleventh century. If the lengthy family tree of nearly ten centuries were written out in full, it would obviously far exceed the previously scheduled warning time. If the diary does not enter the "second stage" for a long time, then it will roughly wait for him.

Writing around the eighteenth century, you may need to prepare to start wearing a hat.

However, just as Elena guessed, Voldemort's patience was obviously not that outstanding.

In the magical world, the genealogy of a pure-blood wizard is undoubtedly one of the most powerful proofs of bloodline.

Even "young" Tom Riddle, who had been buried in his diary for decades, didn't have much desire to understand their predecessors when faced with the family tree of the Malfoy family who had followed him since school.

Of great achievement.

Before Draco Malfoy could turn to the third page, the words on the diary suddenly flashed rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, all the words written in ink were sucked in in an instant, leaving no trace at all.

Draco noticed keenly, perhaps because he was worried that he continued to write, not only the words on the paper, but even his quill dipped in ink became as white as ever, with no ink remaining on it.

Then, a miracle finally happened.

Suddenly some words that Draco had never written appeared on the paper, and it was his ink that was used.

"Hello Draco Malfoy, my name is Tom Riddle-"

Before these words were completely written, they quickly began to disappear and fade, as if someone was desperately erasing them with an ink eraser behind the paper, because Draco wrote in a hurry at the same time as this line of text came out.

A few words.

【Lord Voldemort】(Voldemort)

Draco looked nervously at the diary in front of him that turned blank again, waiting for Riddle's answer.

After a while, a few lines of writing appeared on the diary.

"Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about?"

"Young Malfoy, how did you find my notebook?"

"And...is there anything I can do to help you? Or what do you hope to get from me?"

call--

The moment he saw the words in the diary, Draco Malfoy breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his left hand in the air and made a grabbing motion similar to catching the Golden Snitch. He dipped the quill in his hand into the ink.

Continue to write.

"Anything I want! (Whatever)"

"In exchange, I can answer all your questions. But before that, you first need to prove that you are the legendary 'Tom Riddle', the one who defeated death and was the most dangerous Dark Lord in history."

…………

At the same time, outside the thick fog.

Different from the thick fog lingering around Draco, from the position of Elena and others at this time, except for some thin white water vapor, there was nothing that would affect their observation of the relationship between Malfoy and the diary.

interactive behavior.

Seeing the gestures made by Draco Malfoy not far away, Elena and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Judging from the current situation, the whole process is much smoother than we imagined -"

Gilderoy Lockhart said with a smile, turning his head to look at the big guys sitting next to him.

As the chief surgeon, although he was quite confident in his accomplishments in the Oblivion Curse, it would naturally be a good thing for both Lockhart and Malfoy if he could not directly confront Voldemort so early.

"As expected, human energy is limited. We obviously overestimated Tom before."

Grindelwald grinned, shook his head and sneered, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

If he had known that Tom Riddle's diary was based on textual content or information, he could even use polyjuice potion to tease the young man and let this young man who has gone astray know what the orthodox Dark Lord's language art is.

"We can't take it lightly just yet. After all, his soul hasn't come out yet..."

Newt Scamander slowly shook his head and looked solemnly in the direction of Draco Malfoy.

The wand in the master's hand pointed forward intentionally or unintentionally. If any emergency occurred, he could cast a spell immediately. He had personally seen Voldemort's soul completely condensed in Russia.

Except for the three-headed dog of hell, the damage caused by conventional magic spells is almost negligible.

Thinking of this, Newt's eyes subconsciously glanced at the chest of a certain white-haired dumpling.

Above Elena's swollen chest, three sleepy little puppy heads protruded from the collar, yawning in turn in a naive and cute manner. They did not have the cruel and bloodthirsty appearance described in the ancient wizard civilization.

However, Elena didn't have the energy to pay attention to Newt's gaze at this time.

From now on, the success or failure of the subsequent negotiations will mainly depend on Draco Malfoy's on-the-spot performance and the extent of Tom Riddle's carelessness and arrogance sealed in the diary.

Among so many wizards present, she was the most nervous one - for some reason, she hid some details.

Elena knew very well that Malfoy's current magic power alone was not enough to support Voldemort in condensing a complete soul.

No one can guarantee that Tom Riddle this time will be the same as in the original work, giving them enough time to respond, instead of using some unknown means to absorb a lot of Draco's vitality in an instant

.

Fortunately, unlike Harry who fights against Riddle alone in the original book, her lineup is much more luxurious.

But on the contrary, her purpose is not just to destroy Voldemort's Horcrux - just like hunting in the deep mountains and dense forests, completely capturing the prey and trying to tame it is much more difficult than killing it.

.



And at the same time, on the other side.

Draco's answer obviously exceeded Tom Riddle's expectations.

In today's time and space, there is no ignorant Ginny to tell him the story of the future. All the information that Tom Riddle knows is still stuck decades ago, like a picture waiting to be read.

Color painted white paper.

The writing in the diary paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to answer.

Just when Draco Malfoy thought that the other party had "disconnected", Riddle's answer finally reappeared in Draco's sight. His handwriting began to be a little thicker, as if he had unconsciously used more words when writing.

Some strength.

"Sorry, I'm just a memory, a memory that has been preserved in a diary for fifty years."

"The reason why I use a longer-lasting method than ink to record the past is just because some people don't want some dusty and terrible past to be read. Some concealed past, extremely bad, happened in Hogwarts.

s story."

Tom Marvolo Riddle was the name Voldemort used when he was a student at Hogwarts.

But the name was known only to those closest to him, and since he discovered that he had the blood of Salazar Slytherin himself running through his veins, tracing his parents' past history, he had come up with a new name.

.

Therefore, according to common sense, when he one day becomes the greatest wizard in the world, a great demon king that all wizards in the magical world dare not easily name, people should not and cannot know that he was sixteen years old.

A name that has been determined to be completely erased since 2001 - unless something extremely bad happens in the future.

Draco Malfoy took a deep breath and wrote calmly in his diary.

"After rearranging the letters of T Marvolo Riddle, it becomes I am Lord Voldemort. In today's wizarding world, almost everyone knows this, so stop covering it up, Mr. Riddle."

"Voldemort, this is your past, present and future..."

After a slight hesitation, Draco tried his best to overcome the fear and anxiety in his heart, and scratched the paper with his quill.

"You succeeded, but you also failed. The Dark Devil's forces once spread throughout the United Kingdom, and even Professor Dumbledore could only rely on Hogwarts Castle as his final resistance. My parents also joined your camp and became

You killed the Death Eaters, but just when the Dark Devil's power was at its most glorious, you failed to live up to everyone's expectations, lost all your mana overnight, and disappeared without a trace..."

Along with the rustling sound of the quill on the paper, a somewhat abrupt text story gradually began to emerge in Draco Malfoy's mind, as if a voice was whispering in his ear, telling him what to do next.

What should be said.

And all he needs to do is write the story based on those memories that are familiar yet strange at the same time.
