Chapter 167： Tony Del

Chapter 167

"I really know it." Harry hadn't thought about a book, there would be so many ways, the wizarding world is really dangerous.

The book was lying on the ground, soaked and blurred.

"Okay, I won't open it," Harry lowered his head and picked up the book from the floor while Ron was not paying attention.

Harry recognized it immediately. It was a notebook, and the faded date on the cover indicated that it had been fifty years old. He turned the book over and found the back cover, which was printed with the name of a newspaper dealer and the address of him and his shop in Vauxhall Road, London.

"This is a student's notebook. He should be a Muggle. Only Muggles will buy a notebook at the shop on Vauxhall Road." Harry used the information revealed on the cover of the book to guess the book. origin of.

"You're really amazing." Ron said unexpectedly. He didn't expect Harry to guess so much from such a little detail. "Maybe we can open it and see. A Muggle student’s notebook, there won’t be much Terrible power."

Harry was planning to do so. He opened the notebook carefully, and on the first page, the damp paper, the fuzzy ink was a name that could barely be recognized, Tony.

"Wait." Ron thought of something, "I see, I remember the name, and Tony Del has won an award for special contributions to the school."

∟Chang∟Wind∟Wen∟Study, w≌ww.cfw▼x.n⊙et "How did you know?" Harry didn't remember any books that might record this kind of information.

"You know, Filch likes to punish students for labor, and we are not allowed to use magic wands." Ron mentioned that this was still a bit irritating, "I was once punished for wiping such a trophy. I need to wipe it with a rag. It has to be as clean as magic, it's not easy."

Harry continued to turn back one page after another. There was nothing, and the back was blank. There is not even a trace of the mark, the cover is old enough to show the traces of time, but the paper is just like new.

"He didn't write anything." Harry said disappointedly. "It's just an old diary, with no value."

"Well, it's hard to record useful things in a student's notebook, let alone people throw it away." Ron said disapprovingly, a really useful magic book might have some special protection measures.

But Harry still put the notebook in his pocket unwillingly.

Back in the dormitory, Harry showed Hermione the notebook and told them how they found the notebook.

"It seems nothing special, but we can try." Hermione took the notebook and looked at it carefully.

"Maybe it's nothing at all, it's just a student notebook." Ron is not optimistic about their guess, how secret a student's notebook can be, "Since it is embarrassed to see people, why didn't it follow its meaning and put it Throw it away?"

"I want to know why someone throws it in the bathroom. It's not a good idea to deal with a notebook." Harry said in a puzzled way. "In addition, I also seem to know how Riddle got Hogwar. Special Contribution Award."

"Who knows." Ron disagrees. He thinks it is a waste of time to study a blank notebook fifty years ago. "He may have caught thirty owls, or rescued a teacher from the monster. Or he murdered. Myrtle, I think everyone will thank him for sure."

But Harry and Hermione still had concentrated expressions on their faces. They didn't think it was completely futile like Ron did, but thought of something.

"What did you find?" Ron looked at Hermione suspiciously, then at Harry.

"The secret room was opened fifty years ago, isn't it?" Hermione grasped the key point.

"So what?" Ron said disapprovingly.

"This notebook is fifty years ago." Hermione waved the notebook in her hand excitedly.

"What then?" Ron thought they were making a fuss too much. It was just a notebook with nothing written. The focus was not on notes, but nothing.

"Ron, wake up." Hermione said grimly. "Think about it, the last time the heir to Slytherin was fired fifty years ago. We also know that Tonriedel got the The school’s special contribution award. Isn’t it obvious to connect these?"

Hermione was a little surprised at Ron's slowness. "Riddle probably won the Special Contribution Award because he caught the heir to Slytherin. And his notebook is probably hidden, where is the secret room, and how to open it. There is even information about the heir to Slytherin."

"That's a brilliant reasoning, Hermione." Ron also thought the reasoning was great, "but you have to make sure that there is really something in this notebook, and it's just a blank notebook."

"I'll find it." Hermione said very strongly, and she took out her wand from her schoolbag. "It may be a hidden potion."

She tapped the notebook a few times with her magic wand, and said, "Quickly reveals"

The notebook did not respond, and she was not discouraged. Continue to take out one thing from the bag, a red eraser. "This is the invisible eraser I bought in Diagon Alley. It can break the invisible." She said, holding the eraser and wiping **** the notebook, but there was nothing.

"That's it, everything is actually very simple. Riddle just received a notebook on Christmas, but he didn't plan to write anything on it." Ron looked like he knew it for a long time.

"It's not that simple. A blank notebook from fifty years ago will not be kept until now, and no one will suddenly throw it away." Harry didn't believe that the notebook was nothing unusual.

It may be difficult to explain, but he has a strange feeling, like a hunch. He was sure he had never heard of the name of Tony Del, but an unexplainable feeling made him feel that this name was very special to him, as if Tony Del was a distant friend of his.

Of course, he has no friends except Hogwarts. The Dursleys did not allow him to make friends to avoid revealing his abuse. He is even less likely to make friends with someone fifty years ago, but this inexplicable feeling has always appeared in his heart.

This made him still unable to let go of this notebook. He would read the blank notes thoughtfully, as if he could see something in the blank.

In any case, Harry still intends to learn more about Riddle. During the courseware activity the next day, he went to the prize showroom to see Riddle's special contribution medal.

Hermione was also interested in discovering something. Only Ron was not interested. He was punished by Filch and scrubbed the prizes here many times, and he was tired of it.
