Chapter 94 What Happened After That

This letter is from "Tom Riddle"!

Harry only read the first few sentences and stood there blankly. He never dreamed that he would receive a letter from that person one day, and he also sent himself a greeting card with birthday wishes and a spell he had never heard of.

For a moment, he didn't know whether to continue reading, but surprisingly, Harry didn't feel any grief or anger in his heart, and even felt a little happy.

After he learned some things about "Tom Riddle", Harry found that his experience was too similar to that person. He should have been angry, disgusted and even terrified by these similarities. Because Voldemort was a terrible person, he killed many people, including his parents. It was because of him that he had to live under someone else's roof.

But in fact, he was a little lucky that there was someone who was very similar to him, almost like a brother. That feeling was very wonderful, just like the twins of the Weasley family he knew, they were always inseparable.

Harry felt that he regarded Hogwarts as his home, and this was also the case for "Mr. Riddle", and there was a strong resonance between them.

Another reason why Harry could not hate "Mr. Riddle" was that Harry had seen Voldemort at the end of the first grade. Therefore, it was difficult for him to equate Voldemort with "Mr. Riddle".

At that time, the man was very weak, but still terrible. He possessed a teacher and almost killed Harry. Fortunately, Harry had a protective spell left by his mother before her death, which made Voldemort unable to hurt him. Quirrell just touched him slightly and he was immediately wiped out.

But for two whole semesters, Harry had contact with "Mr. Riddle" many times, but the spell was never triggered once. Maybe the spell failed, but Harry would rather think that "Mr. Riddle" never thought of hurting him.

In fact, he didn't hurt anyone. According to Hermione, the basilisk could actually kill everyone easily. Even if it couldn't, "Mr. Riddle" could do it himself. It was not difficult for him, but all the people attacked were rescued in the end.

Harry continued to read:

"Yes, I am 'Riddle'. But in fact, I prefer you to call me Cyrus. Riddle or Voldemort, to me, are the past, not the present, let alone the future. As for other things, they are basically the same as what was said in the news.

"It is true that Sirius Black helped me leave Azkaban, but it is a bit far to say that he is an accomplice. We just made a deal with different purposes. On the contrary, you will be in trouble again next semester--"

Harry was a little embarrassed. He had indeed been in trouble in the past two school years.

He could already imagine the mocking expression on "Mr. Riddle's" face when he wrote these words.

However, Harry was confused by the "trouble" that "Mr. Riddle" mentioned. He really didn't understand what else could be related to him? He continued to read on, hoping to get some information from the rest of the letter. But Cyrus changed the subject and talked about other things.

"I guess you are probably confused now, why I still have to write to you now. In addition to the fact that it happened to be your birthday, I also wanted you to help me apologize to Ginny. It is also helpless to deceive you. ”

Harry noticed that the words on the letter seemed to pause here for a long time, and the ink was all smeared on the letter paper. It seemed that "Mr. Riddle" had more words to explain, but he finally ended the topic and continued:

"Let me give you some advice, Harry. The professor of the Divination class you and Ron chose this semester - Sybill Trelawney - is just an old liar most of the time, but she actually has a gift for prophecy. If you still trust me and happen to hear a prophecy from her mouth, please tell me if you don't mind. Just write it in the diary and I will know it (please keep it secret from Ginny, I can't handle the bombardment of her information, and I finally had a few days of peace during this period). "

Seeing this, Harry suddenly laughed.

That night, after confirming that there was no danger, Dumbledore still left "Riddle's Diary" to Ginny. Harry didn't expect that "Mr. Riddle" actually had a trick up his sleeve. Ginny had been writing many words into the diary persistently but there was no response.

"The second suggestion is that you are likely to be able to use the spell on the back of the greeting card. It is a good thing to learn it early. The third suggestion, or it should be a reminder, is more appropriate. Remember, sometimes a seemingly dangerous omen may be the opposite. Things that are in constant contact with each other may show their fangs. "

"Your friend, Cyrus. "

"Another side note: I don't think you will tell Dumbledore about what happened today, right? "

At this moment, the letter in Harry's hand suddenly caught fire, and he was so scared that he quickly threw it away. A small ball of flame burned the letter paper clean in the air before falling down, leaving only the birthday card. He immediately realized that the letter was cast with a spell.

Harry picked up the card, and in a corner of the card full of blessings, there was a spell written:

Expecto Patronus.

Note: When casting the spell, you must think of happy things in your mind.

"Expediate Patronus?" Harry had never heard of this spell, but he thought that since "Mr. Riddle" thought he needed it, he could at least remember the name first.

Last year, Ginny was very good in many subjects because of "Mr. Riddle's" teaching. Especially in Charms, Harry dared to say that at least many wizards in the third and fourth grades might not be Ginny's opponents.

Harry held the greeting card in his hand, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

Reason told Harry that he should tell Dumbledore all this, no one was wiser than Dumbledore.

But for some reason, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this. "Mr. Riddle" No, it should be said that Mr. Sellers and Voldemort may not be the same thing at all. As he said in the letter, "Sometimes what seems to be a dangerous omen may be the opposite."

He put the envelope away, wondering what Mr. Sellers was doing at the moment, would he know that Ginny and Hermione missed him very much?

After the truth of the attack was revealed, no matter what Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley said, Ginny thought that Mr. Cyrus might not be a bad person, and even Hermione, who was petrified, said that he just wanted her to sleep for a while.

"He might think that I'm too smart and a bit of a hindrance, and he even reminded me to use a spell to weaken the magic of the basilisk." Hermione said.

Perhaps only Ron firmly believed that Mr. Cyrus was a terrible enemy. Ginny thought that Ron was just scared by things related to "Voldemort", while Hermione thought that Ron was dissatisfied with Mr. Cyrus's unwillingness to help him with homework and exams.

But in fact, Harry just thought that Ron was a little too worried about his sister, so he was still scared about this matter.

But even Ron did not oppose Mr. Cyrus on everything. At least he thought that Mr. Cyrus did a very good job in beating up Slytherin and destroying the Acromantula in the entire Forbidden Forest.

It can be regarded as getting rid of harm for the people.
