[Comprehensive] Digging Secrets in the Academy of Magic

The passage was wet and muddy, and there was a smell of stench and decay. Al held his nose and slid down, and Harry's screams turned around under his feet. It seemed that this passage had several bends.

With a plop, Al fell into a puddle of mud, grinning in disgust.It was too dark here, and he saw two blurred figures in front of him, Draco and Harry—or Tom Riddle and Harry, Harry was making disgusting noises, and Tom was waiting for him in silence climb up.

"You really don't care." Al gave each of the three people "clean up" and said, "I can't imagine that every time you came to the secret room, you would slide down through such a dirty passage, covered in mud... ...Aren't you a clean freak?"

Although the light was dim, Al still saw Tom's face pulled down: "Will you die if you don't say a word?"

"Every time you came to the Chamber of Secrets before?" Harry heard something wrong, and asked, "What do you mean? It was Draco who opened the Chamber of Secrets before?" His voice suddenly raised an octave: "But Al, you told me to trust me Yours!"

"Harry, come here." Al stretched out his hand and pulled Harry to his side. "He's not Draco."

Harry looked confused: "Not Draco? Who is he then?"

"he is--"

"Tom Riddle." Tom cut Al off, giving him a warning look.Obviously, for some reason, Tom was still unwilling to let Harry know that he was Voldemort. Since Draco's body was occupied by him, Al had to shut up, "I am a soul, temporarily attached to little Malfoy."

"What?" Harry took a step forward, as if he wanted to grab Draco's arm, but Al pulled him back.

"Be patient, Harry Potter." Tom hooked the corners of his lips, and looked Harry up and down with the light on his wand, "You don't know anything, you don't even know what abilities you have, it's so annoying disappointed."

"Me? What can I have?" Harry said angrily, "Whoever you are, get out of Draco!" He raised his wand, aggressively.

"This is Draco's body, learn from Al, he knows the time well." Tom smugly said, "You don't want to know what's in the secret room, what happened to the poor kid who was caught in? You don't want to rescue her?"

The Ravenclaw who was brought into the Chamber of Secrets is no longer the point, at least for Al, he must bring Draco and Harry back safely, and before that, let Tom leave Draco's body OK.

It is impossible for the soul to be attached to a living person for a long time. Al has not learned the spell to expel the soul, so he can only wait.

"See what that is?" Tom pointed to the other end of the tunnel.

Harry looked over suspiciously, and there was a huge, coiled creature lying there, motionless.

"That's the shed skin of the basilisk." Al warned Harry in a low voice, "There are basilisks in the secret room, the skin is not dangerous, but if anyone sees the eyes of the basilisk, he will die, the petrified people in the school It was because he saw the eyes indirectly that he did not die, but was petrified."

"Snake...basilisk?" Harry looked a little frightened, "but how did you know?"

"Because I've seen it before." Al's face was gloomy, without much explanation, he turned to Tom and said, "What exactly are you trying to do? Why can you control Draco so easily?"

"Come with me." Tom smiled inscrutably, and took the lead towards the other end of the tunnel. The tunnel was winding and seemed to have no end. They turned a corner and Tom spoke.

"How did Draco come under my control? He talked to me a few days, not many times, but he always liked me and believed me. Little Draco told me his distressing troubles, because he Think it's safe to tell me, I won't tell anyone else—"

Al had the urge to cover Harry's ears. He had a premonition that Harry must not hear the next words.

Unfortunately, it was too late, Tom said without pause: "He fell in love with a boy, which is really surprising. It's not easy for a 12-year-old kid to understand what it means to like, and he still likes the same sex. As for who do you like? As far as I know, the Malfoy family has always been loyal to the Dark Lord, but what about him?"

Tom's voice suddenly rose, full of anger: "He actually likes that Harry Potter who made the Dark Lord lose everything?"

Al felt that Harry's hand, which he had been holding, had gone cold. Harry seemed to have forgotten how to walk, and stopped in place with a blank expression on his face.

"D... Draco... likes - likes me?" Harry stammered, as if he had lost half his ability to speak.

Al covered his face.

But Tom seems disdainful to stay on this issue of boyish feelings: "I have always been able to confuse people as I like, so Draco trusts me, and I haven't done anything bad. It's right for him to trust me, yes no?"

"Is what he said true? How could Draco like me?" Harry asked Al, shaking, grabbing Al's collar.

Tom said impatiently, "Never mind that, he's only twelve years old."

"Who said you didn't do anything bad? Didn't you control Draco to open the Chamber of Secrets?" Al asked, ignoring Harry.

The conversations of the three are simply not on the same channel.

Hearing Al's question, Tom put on an aggrieved expression: "Of course I didn't lie to you, dear little Al, I told you the truth."

"Al! Draco—"

"Draco's life is in danger now, Harry, calm down, you can talk to him about it after getting Tom out of Draco's body, okay?" Al took Harry's hand and patiently Persuading, Harry's face was blushing abnormally, and he finally calmed down after hearing Al's words.

They stopped before a solid wall carved with two intertwined snakes, with large, shining emeralds in their eyes.

"Open it," said Tom.Speaking Parseltongue from Draco's mouth was still unacceptable, Al frowned tightly, hoping that George would bring Severus over as soon as possible.

Al and Harry followed Tom, walking among the serpent-wreathed stone pillars.Knowing that the Basilisk would not come out without Tom's call, Al still squinted his eyes vigilantly and stood in front of Harry, ready to turn Harry around if there was any movement at any time.

As the three of them reached the last pair of stone pillars, a statue as tall as the room itself loomed before them, clinging to the darkened wall behind.Between the statue's feet, lay a figure in a black robe, and beside that figure, a tall man.

The outline of the man was indistinct and translucent. Obviously, it was a soul—exactly the same as the Tom Riddle that Al saw in the space of the diary, only more mature.

"Is that the soul in Ravenclaw's diadem?" Al asked Tom in a low voice.

There was an eerie excitement in Tom's voice: "That's another part of me."

Out of nowhere, Al shivered.

"Who's that?" Harry whispered. "The one lying there? Is she dead?"

"Isabel William of Ravenclaw, first grade." Al replied, this is the girl who was hijacked into the Chamber of Secrets. I don't know how she got the crown, and how she was bewitched by the Voldemort's soul tablet in the crown. Al only Knowing that she might die soon.

Thanks to Al, at the beginning of the second grade, except that he still came to school with Ron in the flying car, Harry had nothing to do with the whole Chamber of Secrets incident, let alone the investigation, he did mention to Draco Al that he could hear When he heard the sound that others couldn't hear, Al just used "You're hallucinating" to fool him. The little savior didn't even get a Parseltongue, and he didn't even have any contact with Tom's diary.

And this time it was the Ravenclaw he didn't know who was hijacked into the Chamber of Secrets. Although he was also nervous about her safety, Harry was more concerned about when that annoying soul, Tom Riddle, would get out of Draco's body .

The soul in the crown noticed them, looked over, no expression on his face, just nodded to Tom coldly.

The two Toms of different ages seemed to be two people. Al couldn't help but look at that Tom. The other looked like he was in his 30s. His eyes were different from Little Tom's, they were completely red, and his hair was shorter, unlike Little Tom. Tom always had a weird smile that could be called a smile, the corners of Tom's mouth were pursed, and his face was completely expressionless.

Al remembers that the diary was a Horcrux made by Tom at the age of 16. After leaving Hogwarts, he stole Hufflepuff's gold cup, and Ravenclaw's crown seemed to be made by Voldemort when he was in his 30s.

What happened during this period that caused his personality to change so much?

"Who are these brats?" Tom frowned and asked little Tom.Al stopped Harry, and the two of them stopped a little further away, when little Tom replied: "An irrelevant person."

Harry Potter is not an insignificant person to Tom Riddle - no matter which Horcrux Riddle is.Not knowing why little Tom lied, Al quietly stretched out his ring and wand.

From his angle, he could see little Tom's fingers playing with Draco's wand behind his back, but Tom was obviously oblivious to this. He looked at Al and Harry and asked, "Kill?"

"They are still useful." Little Tom showed a smile that was not a smile. He and Tom in the crown are different souls of the same person, and they can feel each other when they are close, but they have different memories and experiences. Aims and … means.

The tip of Little Tom's wand shimmered, and Al and Harry looked at each other suspiciously. The next second, Little Tom pulled out his wand suddenly, and the tip of the wand was facing Tom, and he roared a spell.

With a sound of "buzz", Tom seemed to be sucked by some strong suction, his whole body twisted, and he was forced to get close to little Tom!
