Chapter 42: Secrets that have been told

"Is this what my father said, the thing that can help me open the secret room?"

Draco picked up the diary and read it from different angles, but didn't find anything strange about it. and--

This diary looks like something from the Muggle world!

This made Draco Malfoy feel a little disgusted, and he even felt that he could no longer keep the two fingers holding the corner of the book.

However, in order to become the heir of Slytherin, Malfoy was still determined to endure this "dirty" and "stench", but in the end, he didn't even know how to use the diary.

"Reveal yourself quickly!"

The diary didn't change at all.

"What the hell, Dad asked me to be more respectful to the owner of the diary!" He opened the cover and looked at the only handwriting on the cover with disdain, T.M. Riddle. As soon as he heard it, he knew he was not a pure-blood wizard.

"I just hope he's at least a half-blood, if it's another Mudblood then I can't stand it!"

The thought of Hermione Granger made him sick.

"Let's write something." He spread the diary on the table, picked up a very expensive-looking quill, dipped some ink, and wrote in the diary.

"Show me your secret!"

"Ginny, what secret do you have?"

The four Weasley brothers surrounded Ginny, and Harry and Hermione also blocked Ginny's retreat.

After this morning's classes ended, someone found out that Ginny's dormitory had been robbed.

The thief was probably looking for something and turned her room into a mess.

After Ginny came back, she kept rummaging through the mess and repeated in despair, "It's gone..."

They all wanted to know what it was that Ginny and the thief valued so much.

Except for the twins.

The two of them were very nervous now. What was important to Ginny?

——The Marauder's Map!

Fred and George looked at each other with unpleasant expressions on their faces. Fred asked heartbrokenly: "Is it really lost?"

Ginny just nodded mechanically.

"What on earth are you talking about?" Ron and Percy were a little annoyed by these secret inner circle talks. But obviously, neither Ginny nor the Geminis could tell their own secrets. So they can only speak vaguely.

"It's the only hope for catching the heir." George sighed and said, "Without it, maybe we really can't find the culprit."

This actually made Ginny look at the two of them strangely.

'Do George and Fred know about Mr. Riddle? '

Cyrus had never told Ginny about the Marauder's Map.

At this time, Ginny thought the twins were talking about Riddle's diary. In her opinion, Mr. Riddle must have some clues, so it was stolen by the heir of Slytherin.

From this perspective, it is very reasonable to describe the diary as the hope of catching the murderer.

"In this case, we should tell the professors about this!"

Hermione and Percy both agreed that the professors should catch the thief. But this proposal was immediately opposed by three people.

"no!" x 3

Ginny, Fred, and George immediately shook their heads.

Fred and George thought: If the Marauder's Map falls into the hands of professors, will those students who attempt to violate discipline have a future?

While Ginny thought: If the diary falls into the hands of the professors, will there be a future for me and Mr. Riddle?

"Absolutely not!" x 3

"What are you three hiding from me?" Percy frowned.

He suspected that the twins were messing around with Ginny. Maybe what was stolen was not something important at all, but something they planned to use as a Prop for their pranks?

"I advise you not to lead Ginny astray, otherwise I will tell Mother——"

"No -" Ginny's reaction was even bigger than that of the twins.

Her mother always felt very sorry for her. If her mother found out about this, there would definitely be a big fuss. In that case, Mr. Riddle will...

Percy must be stopped!

She remembered what Cyrus told her about Percy's little secret, so she immediately threatened:

"You can't tell anyone, Percy! Or I'll spill your secret!"

"A..." Percy immediately blushed and fell silent.

The rest of the people looked at each other, eager to know what the secret was, which made Percy, who had always been rigid, give in.

In this regard, Percy could only use his brother's dignity and drive them away one by one.

Now, Ginny's side is peaceful. But she was still unhappy. She was hesitating whether to tell Dumbledore about the diary. However, if her mother found out, the diary might be destroyed.

But the diary falling into the wrong hands is also not a good thing.

Not long after, Ron, Harry, and Hermione sneaked around again.

"Listen to me, Ginny, what exactly are you missing?" Harry looked at her seriously, "If this is really important, you can tell us and we can help you!"

"Yes," Ron and Hermione also nodded vigorously.

But Ginny still hesitated to speak.

"You... You don't trust us?" Ron was a little impatient.

"I can't believe it, Ginny! We can say that we share weal and woe! You forgot how we drank such a nasty Polyjuice potion to investigate Malfoy?*sigh* Ginny, We broke almost several laws together. Hundreds of school rules! Still, you don't believe in us?"

Ginny wanted to say that the person acting with them was actually "Mr. Riddle", but from another perspective, at least the three of them were indeed trustworthy.

"Please, Ginny! We need your help. If we can't find the real Heir, Harry will always be wronged, and we don't want to see him enter Azkaban unjustly."

With the pairs of eyes watching her - mainly Hermione and Harry - Ginny finally made up her mind.

Hermione has a very smart mind and may really be able to help. If she had to find the diary by herself, there would be no way to start!

"Y-You must promise not to tell anyone!" Ginny looked at them seriously.

"I promise!" Ron was the first to blurt out, without seeming to be sincere at all.

"Swear first!"

The three little ones just looked at each other and made an oath, but it was not bound by any magic.

"Let's go to a place where no one is around first," Ginny said. In fact, there is no one in the common room now, but this place is too public.

She took Harry and others to an abandoned secret room, and the three little wizards were stunned along the way.

"Hogwarts actually has a place like this!"

"You can finally say it now, right?" Ron put his hands on his hips.

"The stolen thing was a diary!" Ginny finally said.

"Diary? But what about a diary?" Harry and Hermione were both very puzzled.

"That diary is different, it's Mr. Riddle's diary!"

"Riddle?" Ron shouted, "Tom Riddle?"
