The diary is very worn.

And it's not just ordinary.

The faded date on the cover shows that it was produced fifty years ago, and on the title page, there is also the name of its last owner - T.M. Riddle.

Even the junk shops in Diagon Alley wouldn't spend even a copper knut to collect a second-hand blank diary like this from decades ago.

But despite this, Harry still cherished this diary.

Because this was not only the first gift Ginny gave him, but also because when Ginny handed the diary to him, she solemnly said that it was her most precious thing, and she also hoped that Harry

You can write a diary on it.

Wes Lai's family's financial situation is very difficult.

Ron had complained countless times, saying that almost everything he used was tattered second-hand goods that his brother had discarded.

For example, the school robe belongs to George, the textbook belongs to Bill, the wand belongs to Charlie, and even Scabbers, the mouse, was originally Percy's pet!

In comparison, Ginny is slightly better.

After all, she was the only daughter in the family, so her brothers couldn't give her women's clothing, and Ron used most of the other things.

But her good intentions are limited.

Because Lockhart's books were too expensive, most of the things she used were second-hand goods that Weslai's family found in junk shops.

So Harry was really touched that she could give him such a diary.

He did follow Ginny's request and started writing a diary.

Of course, he couldn't really write a few hundred words of essays every day like Hermione did.

He would only record it when something important happened.

And today's Quidditch match is obviously an important event.

After all, this hit him too hard.

Although he knew very well that there was only victory and defeat in the arena, not friendship, but John's attack was too harsh today.

Gryffindor was directly scored over a thousand points in a single game!

This operation simply nailed this Gryffindor team to the pillar of shame.

Harry dared to say that for many years to come, people would not forget this!

Thinking of this, Harry felt so ashamed that he wanted to hit the wall and die immediately.

He opened the diary and began to record the incident with a quill.

Harry thought it might make him feel better if he wrote everything down.

And this is indeed the case.

When he filled up the whole piece of paper in one breath, putting all his regrets about losing the game, his complaints against John for being too harsh, and his guilt towards his teammates, he felt much better.

In fact, he felt sleepy again.

"well--"

With a long sigh, Harry prepared to go back to sleep again.

Just then, an accident happened.

Harry was surprised to find that the words he had written were disappearing rapidly.

It's like being eaten by a diary!

Immediately afterwards, a new string of text appeared.

Hello, Harry Potter.]

"Oh my god! What's going on!?"

Harry couldn't help but scream, and then quickly covered his mouth.

He has realized it.

What Ginny gave him was not an ordinary blank diary.

After struggling there for a long time, Harry finally picked up the quill again and started writing in the blank space.

'Who are you?'

Due to the excessive tension, Harry's handwriting was a bit ugly and illegible.

The diary clearly sensed his emotional fluctuations. After absorbing the old handwriting, two new strings of words emerged.

I am Tom Riddle, the original owner of this diary.]

You look a little confused and excited. Didn't Ginny tell you about me?】

'No! She just said this diary is her most precious thing!'

It's my pleasure!】

'So what exactly are you?'

I am a memory. You can understand that I have recorded my past events in a way that is more durable and more secret than ink. Some terrible past events, some concealed past events, some happened at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

past events.】

'What do you mean?'

Harry's heart was beating very fast, and he felt that he might be exposed to some secrets.

I think you should have understood that I am referring to the secret room. It has been opened, right?]

'Yes, that's right!' Harry scrawled, tearing the paper with excitement, 'Now the whole Hogwarts is discussing this legend, which means that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets has been manipulated by Slytherin.

The heir is released!'

That is not a legend, but a fact. The Chamber of Secrets does exist, the monsters in the Chamber of Secrets do exist, and of course, the heirs of Slytherin also exist.】

'Then who is he? Who attacked Mrs. Norris!?'

Harry wrote eagerly.

But this time, the diary did not reply immediately.

As if he was debating whether he should tell the truth or not, after struggling for a long time, a name slowly emerged.

John Shafiq]

"This is impossible!"

Harry couldn't help shouting again.

Before Harry could write this paragraph down in his notebook, a large series of words quickly appeared.

I know you don’t want to believe this fact. After all, he is your good friend and he hides it very well. It doesn’t matter, you will see the evidence soon.]

But for your personal safety, I must warn you - never tell anyone about this!】

If the heir of Slytherin finds out, he will come looking for you and your friends!】

These words appeared and then disappeared shortly after.

Harry anxiously wrote a lot of questions below, hoping to find out more from Riddle.

But no matter how hard he tried, no words appeared in the diary.

This made Harry a little confused.

He just sat at the desk blankly.

To be honest, Harry really wanted to wake Ron up and tell him what the diary said about John being the heir of Slytherin.

But even as he spoke, Riddle's final warning came to Harry's mind again.

In the end, Harry just shook his head in silence.

Although Riddle's words are a bit outrageous, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst.

For the safety of himself and his friends, he decided to keep it secret for a while.

Anyway, Riddle said that he would see the evidence soon.

With this thought in mind, Harry carefully huddled under the covers and began to fall asleep.

Time passed like this bit by bit.

In the next few days, Harry kept waiting for the evidence Riddle said.

However, all he waited for was the endless consolation from his classmates.

Everyone believed that the previous Quidditch match was a major blow to everyone in the Gryffindor team.

Many people even thought that Harry and others would be devastated by this.

Therefore, it can be said that there is an endless stream of people trying to persuade Harry these days.

Even Professor McGonagall specially talked to Harry and other team members to persuade them not to take the outcome of that game too seriously.
