Head of Teaching at Hogwarts

Sure enough, just as Russell expected.

After hearing Russell connect the creature Peeves with Slytherin's bloodline, a long string of extremely scrawled words quickly appeared in the diary.

"Absolutely ridiculous! As disgusting as a bad joke. Peeves? How could such an ugly creature be related to the great Slytherin bloodline? This must be Dumbledore's conspiracy! He is trying to destroy the great Slytherin Lin! No one will believe this, right?"

Russell smiled and then wrote with a hint of humor: "Yes, I agree with that.

But Dumbledore has many mouthpieces to speak for him. The most famous one is Rita Skeeter, a reporter for the Daily Prophet. She wrote a book called "The Life and Life of Salazar Slytherin" lie".Public opinion is not friendly to Slytherin now.

Even the word "unfriendly" is too friendly. To be precise, most wizards have an extremely negative evaluation of Slytherin himself. "

The words on the diary flickered, especially the name Rita Skeeter, which disappeared and then reappeared in a different handwriting - as if he was reminding himself not to forget this name.

In the diary, Tom Riddle's soul was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Although he did not have a real body, he still felt angry and trembling all over. In the warm principal's office, his whole body was covered in cold sweat and his hands and feet were cold.

He seemed to feel that hell was empty and that demons were in the world. He began to wonder what was going on in this world and why was it so full of oppression against Slytherin?

After a long time, the diary wrote again, "Salazar Slytherin is the greatest of the Four! But future generations are too shallow to see his true greatness."

Russell felt as if he had mastered Tom Riddle's inner ways, writing, "Yes, I have learned about Slytherin.

He studies dark magic, has a bad temper, likes blood discrimination, and is arrogant, but I know Slytherin is a great wizard.

Really evil wizards like to pretend to be righteous and fair, and like to call themselves the guardians of the magic world and the patron saints of wizards.

Most wizards are too superficial and only look at the surface.That's why they misunderstood great wizards like Slytherin, and then were deceived by wizards like Dumbledore or Gryffindor.Only the truly wise can see who the real devil is. "

"Ahhh! Yes, yes! I couldn't agree more. Carl Russell, you are such a wise wizard." The diary praised excitedly.

Russell continued to write humbly: "I have read some research manuscripts of Slytherin himself. Through these manuscripts, I can imagine how they established and created a huge magic industry in a barbaric era of magic that still plays a huge role today. A new era of magic of influence.”

The diary agreed as expected, "Indeed, that period of history is worth remembering."

Later, Russell changed his pen and continued to write, "It's just that I think a large part of the reason why Slytherin himself is misunderstood is due to the fact that the things Slytherin really left behind are too scarce. Even the Sorting Hat It’s hard to say clearly what Slytherin himself left for Hogwarts.”

"We all know that the other three of the Big Four have left many legacies, but Slytherin doesn't seem to have any legacy left at Hogwarts."

"He even built a secret room that tamed a basilisk. In my opinion, this is completely counterproductive." Russell explained: "Not only does it have no positive meaning, it even has a negative impact on the image of Hogwarts and himself. Damage was caused.”

Tom Riddle in the diary couldn't help but start to retort just as Russell expected, "Russell, Slytherin is the greatest of the four giants. His secret room cannot be just for Fang Ichijo." It’s as simple as a basilisk coming to bite you.”

"Tom, I know a lot about Slytherin. No one knows Slytherin better than me, but even I have to admit that he may not have any great achievements left behind. This may be due to the influence of dark magic. His character."

Tom Riddle continued to retort: ​​"No, Russell, his great achievements are beyond the imagination of all wizards now. It is the most advanced research on soul, life and blood. His research results will be enough for all wizards." The world has been pushed to another even more incredible point!”

"So, Tom, how do you know?" Russell wrote, "As far as I know, there is no relevant research information handed down, no actual evidence to say whether Slytherin's own research is 'great'. "

"No, that is a great achievement, and it is the greatest achievement!" Russell felt that Tom Riddle was already a little over the top in the diary.

Very good, Russell couldn't help but show a smile that he had everything under control. Sure enough, he was still too young. He entered the diary at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Compared with himself, he was still too young and too simple. He was suppressed by his own desire to make a success. Then the desire was suppressed and then it was strong, and I was hooked all of a sudden.

"No, Tom, I think you should answer my question first, how did you know?" Russell wrote.

"I just feel..."

Russell interrupted Tom Riddle's writing and continued to ask: "You seem to understand more about Slytherin than I thought, so much so that it makes me doubt that you are the real successor of Slytherin. .”

After writing this, Russell continued to add: "Tom, the basilisk's fangs are in my hands!"

Tom Riddle in the diary suddenly felt uncomfortable. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have exposed too many secrets unknowingly.

After a long silence, a line of text continued to appear in the diary: "Russell, I thought we were friends."

Russell wrote expressionlessly: "Of course, this is why I have not directly threatened him with the venom of the basilisk so far."

Russell now felt that he had a chance to win. After all, the diary was Voldemort's first Horcrux, and it was not as powerful as other Horcruxes in terms of intelligence or magical ability.

Russell believed that as long as he grasped the bottom line of Horcrux trying to survive, he could get everything he wanted.

Sure enough, the diary quickly replied: "Russell, the mastermind behind this is Dumbledore! I am just a victim who was pushed out. I thought you had known this for a long time."

Russell remained silent and took out a tube of black liquid, which was the venom of the basilisk. He waved his hand and the liquid in it came close to the diary.

Russell knew very well that the diary could provide information about the surrounding situation, especially those things that might affect his survival. After all, the fundamental purpose of a Horcrux was to survive.

Sure enough, Tom Riddle in the diary couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly wrote: "I admit that I did learn some advanced magical knowledge during the cooperation with Dumbledore."

"Is it about Salazar Slytherin himself?" Russell asked, holding back his excitement.

"They are indeed from Slytherin!"

"Tell me, where are they now?"
