Dolly finally found her, deep inside the cupboard, beneath a pile of envelopes.
Apparently, after Lockhart discovered it, he didn't discover its secret.
Because the way to activate this diary is to write on it, not to communicate by just holding it.
In the original book, it was a long time after Harry got the diary that he accidentally discovered its secret.
If Harry had not discovered the secret of the diary, the Chamber of Secrets might never have been opened again, and this year's Hogwarts crisis would have ended in vain.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at Dolly's dormitory.
As for Harry, Dolly's task was to knock Lockhart over and then find a chance to escape.
With Harry's intelligence and talent - and facing Lockhart, Harry was indeed qualified to boast about this - it was easy for him to do such a thing.
"So, that's what we're looking for?"
Hermione took the diary, opened it and looked at it, but there was nothing in it.
Qiu Zhang frowned and said, "Hermione, be careful. Many dark magic items can be very dangerous once activated."
"I'm not that careless, and it doesn't really look like some powerful magical item."
Hermione asked back dissatisfiedly. During this period of time, when facing Qiu Zhang, Hermione always couldn't help feeling a little anxious, but she didn't know the specific reason.
Seeing that the two people seemed to be raising their voices, Dolly said, "Don't worry, it's safe in its normal state."
As Voldemort's first Horcrux, although it contained the largest piece of Voldemort's soul fragment, Voldemort was just a young man at that time after all.
Both the magical means and the magic power are limited, so this diary can only slowly absorb the vitality of the holder and read the holder's mind with the not-so-advanced telepathy.
Finally, the goal is to open the Chamber of Secrets and release the basilisk to destroy Hogwarts.
The diary needs to have a long period of contact with the holder before it can control the holder to do this.
Otherwise, even if Dolly relaxed and let the diary control it, it would not be able to do this.
Dolly took the diary back without demonstrating its use.
Instead, he tied it up and planned to try to tease Tom by himself later.
After confirming that it is a Horcrux, Dolly plans to practice with it and try to destroy it.
As for when to tell Dumbledore, there is no rush.
Anyway, since Dolly is holding the Horcrux, I can say that I have the advantage. It won't be too late to produce evidence after she is confirmed to be deeply involved in Voldemort's affairs.
So next, Dolly, Hermione and Qiu Zhang spent a pleasant night in the dormitory after a long time.
Even Luna came in the end. Dolly introduced Luna to Qiu Zhang, and the four of them sat around the TV and watched a full comedy movie.
Incidentally, the problem of playing videos on TV has been solved.
It's very simple to say. It's just to make a box directly with dragon skin and wrap all the equipment and Dolly and the other spectators in it.
In this way, the so-called magic wave will naturally have no way of affecting the few people inside, and to achieve all this, Dolly only needs to perform a transformation.
Of course, the feeling of four people squeezed into a small box was not happy enough, which made Dolly start to miss Newt's suitcase.
It's just a suitcase, but inside it there's as much space as a small playground.
If Dolly could make a similar prop using dragon skin, all the problems would be solved.
161 Chapter 1: Principal's Office
Dolly had a rare good sleep today.
If Dolly hadn't had herbology class the next morning, she would have slept more peacefully.
Dolly was a little confused about how to store the diary temporarily.
After all, if Dolly carried this diary with her, although she was confident that she would not be bewitched by the young Voldemort's Legilimency.
But it sucked Dolly's life force, and Dolly didn't know if she could withstand it.
But if you don't carry it with you, it may be stolen or replaced.
After all, Dobby can come to Hogwarts at any time. Although Dobby doesn't know that the diary is with Dolly, there is no guarantee that he can use some magical means to find clues.
So keep it with you for now.
In a couple of days, Dolly will find a place to test the magic of Lihuo and then destroy it directly.
As for whether the diary would suck away too much vitality in just a few days, that's impossible to imagine.
So in today's History of Magic class, Dolly was thinking about whether to take Tom out and play with him.
Just think of Dolly and start doing it.
Anyway, in the History of Magic class, Dolly had the privilege of not listening carefully.
After all, Dolly had proved last year that even if she didn't study very hard, she could still get higher scores than Hermione in this course, and Hermione could do nothing about it.
So, with excitement, Dolly opened the diary that had been sealed for a long time.
Dolly wondered what characters she should write to greet Voldemort.
Just jump in the face and tell Voldemort that its plan is ruined.
No, no, no, this is still too detached and doesn't suit Dolly's ladylike demeanor.
As for actually writing about her own inner thoughts... Dolly wasn't magnanimous enough to open up to someone without a nose.
So just talk nonsense.
"July 2077, 7. Today's death lottery has over twenty more people dead."
"Meow! When will I ever win this bet? Doesn't anyone know when the safety of Night City will improve?"
"That way, at least I can earn some money for tomorrow's food."
"Also, yesterday I saw an old antique using a wand honestly."
"How funny, Merlin's magic battleship, now everyone is using star destroyers!"
After writing this, Dolly suppressed the upward smile on her lips and waited for the handwriting to recombine and disappear.
However, time passed by minute by minute, and the handwriting remained there, with no change until the end of get out of class.
This is how the same thing?
Voldemort can't hold it anymore?
If Dolly herself were in Voldemort's place, she would also be unable to hold back.
Because according to Voldemort's original plan, this soul fragment would be released soon after being made into a Horcrux, and he had no intention of staying there for decades.
But now, according to the date written by Dolly, Voldemort has been in the diary for more than a hundred years, and he is not even in Hogwarts but has gone to some weird Night City.
How can we understand the current situation?
Of course, Voldemort could use Legilimency to read Dolly's thoughts and determine if she was talking nonsense.
But if Voldemort could do it, he would probably be even more panicked because he would realize that the person in front of him was a hunter.
Without getting any response from Voldemort, Dolly stopped thinking about it, stuffed the diary back into her schoolbag, and went to have lunch with Hermione.
They didn't have classes at the beginning of the afternoon, so the two of them went back to the dormitory to rest.
Dolly opened the diary again and saw that the characters were still there, which made her feel strange.
Hermione came over and said, "Is it okay for you to just write and draw on it? How exactly does it trigger the curse?"
"I think it's better to just destroy it."
Hermione felt uneasy and made a suggestion to Dolly.
Dolly didn't explain much, she just threw the diary on the ground and said, "Come on, try it."
Hermione was confused, but she pulled out her wand anyway.
First, he threw the diary into the fireplace with a levitation spell, and then used a fire-starting spell.
Although Hermione didn't have much chance to practice, Dolly saw that her fire spell had reached at least level 2 or even level 3.
From this, it is not difficult to see that Hermione is quite talented in spells. Dolly even feels that Hermione's talent has become stronger recently.
The fire line coming out from the tip of the wand was like a small fire dragon, drilling into the fireplace and devouring everything in the diary.
Dolly had folded her arms, watching all this with confidence.
But soon, Dolly's expression changed.
Because under the effect of Hermione's fire spell, the Horcrux, which should have been completely indestructible, now began to burn directly.
Dolly quickly asked Hermione to stop and hurried to the side of the diary. Then she watched in astonishment as the diary disappeared from her sight without leaving a trace.
In the end what happened?
“Did I succeed, or did I fail?”
Hermione also asked in surprise, "Could it be that the diary escaped?"
Dolly stood up suddenly, and the question she had just asked finally had an answer.
No wonder the diary didn’t respond to Dolly, because it turned out to be fake!
Lockhart used a fake diary to deceive Dolly?
No, not possible!
With Lockhart's level of magic, he obviously couldn't do this.
Could it be Dobby?
Dobby knew someone was going to steal the diary, and then copied it... This is even more impossible.
Putting aside whether the house-elves have the ability to copy the diary, the fact that Dobby did this is completely unacceptable.
Because Dobby is a house-elf, and sabotaging his master's actions without authorization is an unacceptable betrayal for a house-elf.
If Dobby did this, even if he had an independent spirit, he would have been driven crazy by the ideological imprint in his brain.
So who on earth had access to this diary and had the ability and time to replace it?
Dolly couldn't help but start thinking about every little thing that happened yesterday. From beginning to end, Dolly could almost be said to have carried the diary with her.
Apart from……
Dolly looked at Hermione, who looked puzzled.
Then she said warily, "You don't want me to compensate you just because I broke it, do you?"
The corners of her mouth curled up, and she jokingly said, "Is this some kind of premeditated fraud?"
Dolly sighed, rubbed her forehead, and said, "This diary is fake. It really won't be destroyed that easily."
"I wonder where the real diary is."
"What went wrong?"
Dolly made her judgment that as her bedmate, Hermione had almost no time to be independent, let alone time to do anything.
She had no motivation to do it either.
Normally, it is unlikely that Qiu Zhang and Luna would have the motive to do this.
But it doesn't matter whether they have their own motives or not. If they are controlled by magic, then it's not surprising what they do.
Of course, this doesn't mean it has to be them.
Maybe the diary in Lockhart's hand was a fake from the beginning, and it was replaced while in his hands.
Or perhaps Lucius had made a fake copy of the diary from the beginning and stuffed it into Hogwarts through different channels.
Alas... Why has something so simple become so complicated?
Should Dolly really just hide and do nothing, quietly waiting for the plot to unfold, and then strike with lightning speed when she is absolutely sure?
This is indeed an idea, but the result of doing so is that your relatives and friends may be threatened and attacked.
Just like when Dolly was attacked by the troll before, this was not what Dolly wanted to see. After all, she couldn't guarantee that the people around her would always be safe.
But the result of intervening too deeply is that the originally determined plot will be completely changed. With Dolly's current ability and strength, she cannot provide a comprehensive defense against the Dark Lord.
It can only be said that it is too difficult for Dolly to lead the fight against the Dark Lord alone.
