Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

Chapter 141 TM Riddle’s Diary

Although in school, Ron and Draco seemed to have a good relationship.

But their parents, who worked in the Ministry of Magic, were looking for trouble with each other and could be said to be hostile.

The two of them talked about something unknown at the door of the second-hand bookstore. Lucius still looked aloof, while Arthur's face was red, as if he had been poked in a painful spot.

This made Ron, who was about to walk over, suddenly stop.

His intuition told him that now was not the time for the past, and children should not get involved in adult matters.

The two elders didn't talk for long at the door of the second-hand bookstore. They quickly turned around and left, walking very quickly.

Only then did Ron realize that Lucius didn't look as calm as he had imagined.

Ron and Harry came to the used bookstore, and Harry asked: "What are your father and Draco's father doing here?"

Ron touched a handful of books, his hands were all stained with dust, and he shook his hand in disgust.

Ron looked at the pile of old electrical appliances with great interest, "The Ministry of Magic clearly prohibits the use of things from the Muggle world. Muggle things are contraband in the wizarding world, especially high-power electrical appliances."

Ron shook his head, "Don't be afraid. The nobles are not that scary. They also have many weaknesses. Anyway, I'm not afraid. They just have more money than us."

He complained: "Those old stubborns in the ministry always think that magic can solve everything and reject new things. But in fact, there are many things in life that can be done well without using magic, and it is also effortless."

Ron: "Those were my most unlucky days!"

Harry couldn't help but say: "You are so unlucky!"

Harry was a little surprised: "I heard that the Malfoy family is a noble family. Your father is not afraid of them?"

"But this used bookstore really collects everything. I actually saw a lot of old electrical appliances from the Muggle world. Where did these come from?"

He turned it over, and on the first page, he could only make out a name written in blurry ink:
TM Riddle.

Ron shrugged: "I don't know. It may be related to a circuit problem. All electrical appliances in the Muggle world need electricity, and the Ministry of Magic doesn't know how to install electricity. It needs to communicate with the Muggle world. It's very troublesome anyway. "

He walked over and found that it was a diary. The faded date on the cover showed that it was 50 years old.

"The last time Professor McGonagall deducted points and was subsequently detained, didn't we go to the prize showroom on the fourth floor to clean the medals? In the area I was responsible for, there was a medal that belonged to him, and this medal , I wiped it about fifty times!”

Harry asked curiously: "Why?"

Harry walked around the second-hand bookstore and saw a worn-out notebook in a remote corner.

"Let me think about it...Riddle, fifty years ago received the Special Contribution to the School Award."

"I don't know. My parents never told me about work matters. I only know that my father and Lucius are sworn enemies in the Ministry of Magic. The two often fight against each other."

"How did you know?" Harry asked in surprise.

Ron said angrily: "I burped and got mucus on it. I had to wipe it clean, but there was something wrong with the rag Filch gave me. I always felt it was getting dirtier the more I wiped it. Finally, Hermione gave it to me. I took a tissue and I felt clean.

"I know this name." Ron's voice suddenly came out. He came to Harry's side and looked at the diary together.

If you spend almost an hour wiping the slime off a name, you'll remember that name too! "

Harry gently opened the yellowed diary. Every page was blank, with no trace of writing.

He was a little disappointed.

He turned to the back cover, which was printed with the name of a newsagent in Vauxhall Road, London. "He must be a Muggle, so he bought the diary from that place." Although he was curious as to why he wanted a new diary. It's in a used bookstore. Oh, maybe it's because the cover of this book is quite old, so it was abandoned.

Anyway, Harry bought the diary and only used a few copper nuts.

They return to Ollivander's wand shop.

At this time, Lin Xia and Mr. Ollivander had just finished talking.

Lin Xia felt that she benefited a lot from this visit. She heard Ollivander's many new and interesting points of view, which inspired her.

Although their research directions are different, they can refer to each other.

Among them, Ollivander also recommended her to listen to music, saying that music can promote the burst of inspiration.

"I recently spend two hours every day listening to music. It makes me feel very passionate. I feel like I have returned to my youth again."

This made Lin Xia remember it. Maybe she would have to find time to listen to music.

Research progress has been stuck for so long, and if hard work doesn't work, then we need to use some metaphysical methods.

She walked out of the wand shop and saw Harry and Ron standing not far from the door, chatting. The two of them were eating Easter eggs in the shape of a fire dragon while talking.

Suddenly, the compass in her mind started to rotate, and she came to the "Fuji" column, and text messages appeared in her mind.

[Harry becomes increasingly obsessed with the diary he obtained in a used bookstore...his learning level improves by leaps and bounds, and it is all the diary that touches him...causing the death of students...]
[On Easter...the fire dragon bound by Gringotts suddenly became angry...Gringotts was almost overturned...gold coins were exploded...the fire dragon was captured again...dismembered...]
The text message flashed for just a moment, and Lin Xia walked towards the two of them without changing her expression.

She asked: "Have you been waiting outside?"

"No, we also went to a used bookstore," he paused. "I saw Draco's father and my father in front of the store. They had an argument. After they left, Harry and I Lee went in for a walk."

He looked at Lin Xia's expression, which was as usual, and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know what he was nervous about. Maybe he was afraid that the poor relationship between his elders would affect the relationship between his children.

Instead, Lin Xia was more interested in the topic of used bookstores.

"I want to visit Gringotts. I heard that Gringotts will hold some activities on Easter. Did you buy anything at the used bookstore?"

Harry: "I bought a diary."

"Can you please take a look? I also need a diary." Lin Xia said.

Harry handed the diary to Lin Xia. Lin Xia observed his expression and showed no reluctance at all.

He didn't seem to find this diary special, nor was he obsessed with it.

Lin Xia's eyes flashed slightly when she saw the name under the cover——

TM Riddle.

A very familiar name.

Lin Xia asked: "Harry, can you give me this diary? I'll find it useful."

Harry said without hesitation: "Give it to you."

They arrived at Gringotts before they knew it.
