Chapter 121 The Lover Chapter
Chapter 121 The Lover Chapter
On February [-]th, Valentine's Day, Alice received a Valentine's Day gift from Principal Dumbledore.
The above is a joke. To be precise, Principal Dumbledore found the real culprit of the petrification incident and handed it to Alice. For her, this is not a gift better than a gift.
What is surprising is that the murderer is not a wizard, or not a human being, but a diary.
The small, thin, tattered black diary from 50 years ago just lay quietly on the table, unlike the mystery of black magic items in the traditional impression.
"What's the relationship between Tom Riddle and Voldemort?" Alice asked.
Dumbledore's answer was extremely simple: "Tom Riddle is Voldemort."
"It turns out that the Dark Lord's name is so common, no wonder he wants to change it." Alice subconsciously made a joke, and then realized something, "He hates his name?"
This name is so common that if you call Tom on the street, at least five people will turn their heads.
"You're smart." Dumbledore said pitifully.
Tom Riddle meets Tom, and Tom kills Tom's mother.Alice thought it was ridiculous, until now she didn't know why Voldemort killed Mrs. Rice but let Tom go.The death of a loved one is far more painful than his own death, and letting Tom go proves Voldemort's cruelty.
Alice didn't know how many Toms there were in England, but she knew that the person she most wanted to kill was Tom Riddle.
"Miss Weasley said she went to Diagon Alley before school started and found this diary when she came back," said Dumbledore.
At first, Ginny thought that the diary carried the memory of an outstanding senior, and she got a lot of help from it in her studies.But petrification incidents kept happening, and her memory was often lost, and she also vaguely noticed something was wrong.
So as soon as Dumbledore entered the principal's office, Ginny cried and said everything before Dumbledore spoke.
"Is Ginny all right?" Alice asked.
"Frightened and drained of life force, physically weak." Dumbledore looked at the diary on the table with a serious expression, "I think Voldemort split his soul more than once."
According to Ginny's description, the diary can write and communicate with others independently, coupled with the petrification incident, he doesn't think a memory can do so much.
Of course, the most important reason is the Ravenclaw crown and the books Tom read in his student days...
The topic of mutation made Alice stunned for a moment, and then a word inexplicably appeared in her mind: "Horcrux?"
"Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic", she clearly remembered the name of this book but couldn't remember when she read it.But most likely it's the books in the restricted section of the library.
"Ravenclaw always reads a lot of books." Dumbledore said with a smile, "It's just that I'm afraid this book is no longer suitable for keeping in school."
In fact, Alice always thought that the book was fake, because the description of the Horcrux was so unbelievable that she was so impressed.
Knowing that Horcruxes really existed, she felt even more ridiculous.Splitting his own soul more than once, does Voldemort have M tendencies?
"What is he going to do? Lonely and split a few souls to chat?" she asked.
Dumbledore was amused by Alice's question, and he threw a chocolate frog into his mouth: "I wish Voldemort thought the same as you. Unfortunately, what he really wants is eternal life."
Voldemort's brain is sick, Alice thought.This is not called eternal life, it is called life is better than death.If the wizarding world is really led by this lunatic, it will be completely over.
"How to destroy him?" Looking at the diary on the table, Alice rolled up her sleeves and took out her wand, intending to give Voldemort a good time this time.
"No, no, not for now." Dumbledore signaled Alice to put down his wand, "We still need to clarify one thing. The diary is not capable of petrifying students."
"But it's not an ordinary diary, it's a Horcrux."
"I've been researching this during this time. If you don't possess others, the diary can only write on its own. And the conditions for possession are extremely strict. Only when the writer completely likes or relies on the diary will it be controlled." Deng Blido ate two chocolate frogs this time, and Alice frowned.
"So?" Alice instinctively felt that she was about to talk about herself next.
"So we need to find a person whom the diary doesn't know and who seems to be easy to control, gain trust through communication, and find out the secret room." Dumbledore looked at Alice expectantly.
Alice's focus is a bit off: "Do I look deceptive?"
"People will always hold prejudice against young women, especially when they have rare beauty." Dumbledore replied.
"Okay, no problem, leave it to me, principal." Alice patted her chest and assured Dumbledore, "I seem to be deceiving."
She left the principal's office with a smile on her face, and didn't really relax until she got home from the portrait.
……
"What did the cat say?"
"Meow!"
"snake?"
"Meow meow!"
"food?"
"Meow meow!"
"What's the difference between this and a snake?" Squatting by the fireplace, Alice looked at the fur ball with a look of suspicion, "Are you talking nonsense? You received a Christmas present, so don't just take money and do nothing."
The furball immediately froze. It bared its teeth, leaned over, and groaned at Alice from its throat, expressing its dissatisfaction with being insulted.
Obviously low-level humans can't understand the noble cat language, but now it is kind enough to teach its master, but it is being questioned?I just don't know what is good or bad!
"Okay, okay, my fault." Alice said, taking out a biscuit in the shape of a small fish from the small basket next to her, and handing it to Fuqiu's mouth, "Apology ceremony."
"Meow~" Fuqiu reluctantly ate the biscuit.
Alice moved the crystal ball towards the fur ball: "What does that sentence mean?"
"Meow!"
"I don't understand. Well, I'll start with the easiest. What about the furball?"
Just as Snape stepped out of the fireplace, what he saw was this picture of a baby learning to speak.Only this time the baby was an adult woman.
"I doubt very much. If you follow this progress, you will not be able to complete the cat language translator in the next century." Hearing that Alice even asked the word fur ball, he couldn't help but said, "You can use this kind of useless word Will add it later."
"Oh, why are you back?" Alice quickly got up from the ground, "We finished our dinner early today."
"Get something." Snape sat on the sofa, and when he heard the word dinner, his face darkened immediately.
In order to control her weight, Alice usually does not keep snacks at home. After thinking about it, she handed over the small fish crackers on her right.
"Meow!" Fuqiu was upset, it was baked for himself, didn't you see the shape of the fish?
"It's a little discerning, you still live in Severus' house." Alice patted the furball on the head and let it play with the pink woolen ball.
Snape didn't dislike it, he just took a biscuit and ate it.
"Hogwarts doesn't provide teachers with dinner?" Alice asked.
"Gideroy Lockhart." Snape made no secret of his dislike for that ostentatious butterfly.
Leaving aside the auditorium that was dressed up like a vulgar wedding scene, the twelve short men with cheap golden wings and harps on their backs were disgusting enough.
What angered him the most was that some students actually asked him about how to make the love potion.
"Wow!" Alice sighed, she didn't know whether it was the student who boldly asked for the love potion or was amazed at this year's unique Valentine's Day, "Hey, you won't see Lockhart soon."
Regardless of Snape's puzzled eyes, she continued: "By the way, I went to school today, why didn't anyone send me a love letter?"
"Are you looking forward to it?"
"Of course." Alice said disappointedly, "It's a very happy thing to be liked by others, okay? And it's also a proof of my charm."
"Then let the dwarf sit on your lap and sing the love letter in public?" Snape raised his eyebrows, waiting for Alice's answer.
"I'm confident that it will be resolved before it reads the love letter." Alice waved her fist twice.
Snape nodded: "I have confidence in you too. So what does Dumbledore want you for?"
"How do you know?" Alice asked, before Snape could answer, she took out the diary and explained in detail.
After hearing what happened, Snape pondered for a while, and said, "Is that why you agree?"
"But I'm young and beautiful, and I'm easily deceived." Alice straightened her hair, "I have to say, Principal Dumbledore can talk more than you."
"You know that's not what I'm talking about. Why don't you think about why he picked you to do this?"
"Because he suspects that I have any connection with Voldemort." Alice sighed, "Do you think the Horcrux could be human?"
It now appears that Ravenclaw's diadem was also one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.Then my own survival and Guan Guan's suicide are very strange, and of course what is even more strange is my inexplicable heartache.
Facing the diary, I feel nothing at all. Is it only when I meet Voldemort's body that my heart hurts?
"If it were that easy, the Dark Lord would have ruled the wizarding world long ago," Snape said.
If he could casually turn a wizard into a Horcrux, then he might really be able to realize the so-called immortality.
"That's right. Then what's going on with me?" Without a clue, Alice simply picked up the diary, "Let's settle this matter first."
"Since you insist on doing this, I can't say anything." Snape ate the last biscuit, "Even so, you still blindly trust Dumbledore?"
Alice took the empty plate and walked to the kitchen: "Please, no one else can do better than the principal."
"By the way." Snape stopped Alice, "Happy birthday."
Alice paused, then turned around with complicated emotions: "Although I am very happy, I still have to ask, what about the birthday present?"
