Chapter 220: Only fools write in newspapers (Edited)

What fell in front of Fish was a black book, small and thin, and it looked tattered, like the stack of "The Adventures of Mad Muggle Martin Miggs" comics in Ron's room, which looked a bit old.

"What's this?" Fish knelt down and picked up the black, tattered book, "A Storybook nya?"

Without waiting for Uroboros to answer, he casually opened the book in his hand....

It was blank, there was nothing in it.

Fish skimmed the other pages, again blank, except for the first page under the cover, where a somewhat vague name was written: T. M. Riddle.

"Riddle?" Fish cocked his head to the side, "I don't think anyone in school is named that nya...".

"Hiss ... hiss, hiss." (I found this wandering through the pipes, I think it's a diary, it's of no use to me, so I'm giving it to you).

Uroboros said to Fish, as Voldemort had told him.

He didn't know what was going on between the two descendants of his former master, but according to the Slytherin pact, Voldemort's priorities were higher, so he had to do as he was told.

(?ω?)

Fish looked down at the thin journal in his hands with some distaste.

Professor McGonagall had once tried to get Fish to write in a journal, enticing him with treats and fun, and the young cat had gotten to write a few journal entries, but he had soon lost interest.

Especially now that he had to do homework every day, only a fool would write in a journal and increase the amount of homework for himself!

Just as Fish was about to pick up the little black book in his hand and throw it away, he suddenly stopped moving.

For some reason, just as he was about to throw the journal away, he felt a sudden urge to hold the book in his hand.

"Nya?"

?ω?

Fish retracted his raised arm, placed the journal back in front of him and looked at it cautiously.

After flipping through the journal in his hands, the doubt in Fish's mind not only didn't disappear, but grew deeper....

There was nothing special about this little black book, so why was it that the more he looked at it, the more reluctant he was to throw it away?

Picking up the journal in front of him, Fish looked at it for a while, then turned to Uroboros and asked, "Who is this t.m Riddle? do you know him?"

Voldemort's existence was something he had forbidden the basilisk to talk about, so Uroboros could only continue to shake his big head and stupidly deny it.

"Should I return it and find the original owner?"

Fish muttered under his breath, then quickly shook his head, "No, Fish just wants to keep it for himself nya..."

This strange situation made Fish's curiosity rise, and he suddenly let go of his hand, letting the diary fall to the ground with a clatter, then continued to stare at it, occasionally giving it two kicks with his toe.

As expected, the desire to pick it up was still there.

(●?ω?●)

Fish shook his cat's tail and bent down to pick up the newspaper....

Then he threw it away with a hiss.

"Nyajajajajajaja!"

?(?)?

At the same time as the diary flew out, Fish also ran out, and before the diary fell, he ran in front of it and then caught it.

After playing with the diary for a while, Fish lost all interest in the game.

Although this diary has its own seduction function, it was so boring compared to a toy like the Golden Snitch, which was running around on its own, that it was inevitable that Fish would soon tire of it.

It was a shame to throw the diary away, after all, he was inexplicably interested in this diary, so he wanted to develop the playability of this diary as much as possible.

So Fish threw the journal back on the ground and pulled out his wand.

"Avifors."

(●φωφ●)つ━☆? *.

Fish used the transfiguration spell on the journal, trying to turn it into a flying bird.

But the transfiguration spell hit the diary, and it didn't react at all.

"Avifors!"

Fish waved his wand a couple more times, but the black journal still lay quietly on the ground.

"Is the wand broken nya?"

Fish was confident in his own hard-won transfiguration skills, so he could only wonder if his wand was as flawed as Ron's.

Looking around, the room was clean, not a single small stone in sight.

It was a problem for Fish though, he pulled one of the cards that came in the chocolate frog boxes out of his magic bag and then waved his wand and cast another Transfiguration spell on the card.

This time it worked without incident, turning into a white bird, flapping its wings and flying high in the sky....

Then Uroboros opened his bloody mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

(?ω?)

Staring at the greedy snake speechlessly, Fish continued to focus on the journal on the ground.

It was just a card, he didn't care, he was tired of playing with it, now he was more interested in the diary on the floor.

Inexplicable attraction, and the transfiguration spell doesn't work...

Fish picked up the journal again, opened it to a random page, grabbed one of the blank pages and pulled it hard....

The paper, which looked fragile, was firmly attached to the journal, without even a small tear.

"Nya!"

(●?ω?●)

Now Fish was even more interested in the paper, scratching and rubbing it in his hands, even using his spells to increase its strength, like [Bull's Brute Force].

But Fish couldn't do any damage to this old diary.

"Aguamenti!"

"Incendio!"

"Diffindo!"

(●φωφ●)つ━☆?*.

After a few more spells on the journal, which had been soaked in water, dried by the fire, and cut by the cutting spell, the journal remained intact, undamaged.

Putting away his wand, Fish displayed his pointed claws, then scratched at the journal.

With his [Beast Claw], he could have made deep claw marks even on a stone, but with the journal in front of him, no matter how much he scratched it, he couldn't even make a small cut.

So Fish's competitive spirit was awakened, and he quickly transformed, turned into a clouded leopard, threw a [Elf Fire] at the journal, and scratched and bit it.

With all his strength, Fish could easily defeat an Acromantula, but could not damage the journal, leaving only faint marks on it, which would fade and disappear after a while.

After vigorously throwing the journal, Fish finally stopped.

Although he didn't know what was wrong with the journal, the fact that it didn't break was enough for him to keep it.

It's not because of the inexplicable attraction, it's because Fish really wants to keep this journal that he won't break....

Tomorrow is the weekend and he planned to take it to the Forbidden Forest to show it to his animal friends and let them try to break the diary to satisfy their curiosity.

Even if he can't tear it up, it doesn't matter, it's not much of a journal anyway, so he can leave it in his pocket.

Or maybe it's better if you don't break it, because it's a strong enough journal to keep.

Dropping the black journal into his magic pouch, Fish waved goodbye to Uroboros before putting on his invisibility cloak and exiting the chamber.

After the basilisk watched Fish leave, he returned to the statue and continued sleeping.
