Chapter 28 An unexpected diary
Lucius, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, suddenly felt an indescribable panic surge in his heart the moment he looked into Weiss's eyes. The next second, he tried his best to avoid Weiss's sight. Then, he hurriedly left Flourish and Blotts with Draco.

In his panic, he even threw his carefully planned things out of the window. When Lucius finally calmed down, he reached out and touched his chest.

At that moment, his face turned pale, as white as a bloodless piece of paper. "Where are my things? Where are they?"

Lucius was extremely anxious and could only use his hands to search his body. What made him desperate was that no matter how hard he searched, he could not find the thing he was thinking about.

“It’s terrible!!”

A strong fear surged in Lucius' heart. When he thought of the possible consequences of losing the diary, his legs began to go numb involuntarily, and then he collapsed to the ground.

That diary was something that person gave to him for safekeeping.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Draco looked at his father with confusion. He had never seen his father so panicked.

In his memory, his father had always been the elegant, calm and superior head of the Malfoy family. When had he ever lost his composure like this?

"Nothing... I just dropped something..."

Lucius tried to sound calm, not wanting to worry Draco.

However, his pale face and trembling legs were completely unconvincing.

Draco was filled with worry when he saw his father like this. He helped Lucius up with great effort and asked, "Is it something valuable?"

"It's just a diary..."

Lucius forced a smile, trying to reassure Draco.

"A diary?" Draco frowned.

He really didn't understand what was so important about a diary that his father took it so seriously.

"If it's lost, it's lost. At worst, I can just go to the bookstore and buy another one."

Draco said to his father somewhat innocently.

When Lucius heard Draco's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he saw a ray of hope in the darkness.

"Bookstore? Flourish and Blotts!"

[It must have fallen into Flourish and Blotts during the fight.]

Thinking of this, Lucius seemed to regain his strength all of a sudden, and he jogged all the way without caring about his image.

"Dad, wait for me~~"

Draco looked at his father's receding back, and hurriedly stretched out his short legs to catch up with him with great effort.

Lucius put on his monocle as he ran.

This monocle is not an ordinary pair of glasses, it is a magic prop, one of the functions of which is telescopic vision.

Through these glasses, Lucius can clearly see the distant scenery.

When his eyes fell through his glasses on the floor of Flourish and Blotts, his heart skipped a beat.

He saw the diary clearly.

"yes!!"

Lucius excitedly punched the air. However, the next second, his smile froze on his face as he saw Weiss pick up the diary from the floor.

"Damn!!"

Lucius cursed in his heart and was about to explode when he saw Weiss nodded to him.

He thought he was dazzled and blinked quickly.

When he looked again, he saw Weiss actually greeting him with a diary.

Lucius' mouth dropped open in shock, and his glasses fell from his sockets out of shock.

"hu~hu~"

Draco arrived, panting.

He looked at his father's strange expression and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Dad, slow down, it's just a diary."

Lucius put his glasses back on and looked in Weiss's direction.

He saw Wes talking to the Weasleys, and the scene looked so ordinary that for a moment, Lucius even suspected that everything that had just happened was just his own illusion.

"Dad, what's wrong? You've been acting weird since we came out of the bookstore." Draco asked in confusion.

"Nothing." Lucius exhaled slowly, trying to calm himself down.

"Is that young man a professor at Hogwarts?"

"That's right! He's the school's magic rune professor."

Draco lit up at the mention of Weiss.

He began to talk non-stop about his experience in the Forbidden Forest last semester: "Professor Alvin is amazing. When we were in the Forbidden Forest..."

"Hmm? Forbidden Forest? Why are you in a place like that?"

Draco realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and quickly shut his mouth. His panicked expression looked very cute.

"I don't mean to lecture you." Lucius looked at Draco's nervous expression, and his heart softened. He reached out and touched Draco's head. "Tell me about Professor Irwin. What kind of person is he?"

Lucius pondered in his heart.

[It's probably the same as if the diary fell into the hands of a professor. It will eventually be brought back to Hogwarts.]

Lucius felt a little more at ease after thinking this way. As long as the goal was achieved, the process wasn't important.

So he took Draco and left Diagon Alley.

Meanwhile, Wes declined the Weasleys' invitation to dinner. He had only one thought in mind: to study the diary he had just obtained.

Weiss knew very well that this diary was the most crucial thing in the Harry Potter world - a Horcrux.

In the original book, Voldemort is the only wizard alive who created a Horcrux.

The process of making a Horcrux is extremely evil and requires some very bad behavior, such as murder, to split the wizard's soul. Then, one part of the soul is taken out of the body and placed in an object outside the body. This object is the Horcrux.

In this way, no matter how seriously injured the dark wizard is, he will not die.

However, once the soul is split, it becomes extremely unstable. The split soul cannot feel the pain of being destroyed, which also means that the creator cannot feel the destruction of the Horcrux at all.

Therefore, a large number of dark wizards are unwilling to create Horcruxes even if they have the ability. They would rather die quickly.

No one had ever created as many Horcruxes as Voldemort did.

By comparing Voldemort's cold-blooded, brainless and crazy behavior in the original work with his early wisdom and intelligence, Weiss speculated that making Horcruxes would have an indelible impact on the soul and spirit.

Weiss has no interest in making Horcruxes, but he has great interest in studying them.

After he hurried back to his Hogwarts dormitory, he couldn't wait to open the diary he had just obtained.

He thought for a while, then wrote in his diary, "It feels so good to be back at Hogwarts. It feels like home here."

However, the writing in the diary was not absorbed by the diary as Wes expected, and he did not receive any response.

[It seems you're quite shy, but don't worry. I have plenty of time to spend with you. Even if we can't come up with anything, we can still exchange some things with Dumbledore.]

He locked the notebook in a box with a mechanism, cast a spell on it, and then locked it in a drawer.
